Chapter 1967 : Great Luo Golden Immortal Sixth Layer
After Jiang Daoxu completed his exclusive cultivation of the Sacrificial Self Path, Eldrin pondered long and hard before ultimately seeking out Kael.
After many years apart, Kael's 3 great incarnations had all returned from the primordial chaos, merging once more into his original self.
Eldrin finally located Kael, yet after conversing for what felt like an eternity, he ultimately abandoned his attempts to persuade Kael to embrace the Path of Self-Devotion.
For upon this return, Kael had achieved the initial completion of his Great Dao, with all 3 of his foundations having transcended the ordinary. The unity of his myriad selves, the convergence of the divergent paths of Buddhism, Daoism, and Demonic Arts into 1 Great Dao, and even his spirit—now merely a step away from establishing the True Spiritual Root—had reached unparalleled heights.
Relying solely on 1's own efforts, there is a high probability of cultivating 3 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) foundations, making it unnecessary to immediately switch to practicing the Path of Self-Sacrifice.
Although Kael had not converted to the Path of Self-Offering, Eldrin now felt somewhat more confident about mastering this path, especially since Jiang Daoxu had already embraced it.
Without further delay, he returned to the Realm of Returning Abyss and resumed his secluded cultivation.
With ample resources at hand, the cultivation speed of the Chaos Indestructible Body was naturally astonishing. After approximately 20,000,000 years, the foundational essence of Eldrin’s Great Perfected Body had accumulated sufficiently, allowing him to finally break through to the sixth layer of the Great Perfected Body.
After completing his breakthrough, Eldrin's physical combat prowess had increased significantly once more, rising by over 50 percent.
By this point, Eldrin realized that his physical strength alone should be sufficient to rival that of an Eighth-Level Great Roaming Immortal—1 of the most powerful among their ranks.
Though still not comparable to top-tier Great Perfection Eighth Layer experts like the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull or the 9 Extremities Divine Lord, this level of combat prowess was by no means weak among the Great Perfection Eighth Layer cultivators.
However, since he cultivated all 3 foundational pillars simultaneously, the overall boost in combat prowess was not particularly substantial—merely an increase of less than 20 percent over his original baseline.
Shortly after Eldrin completed his breakthrough, Lyra's True Spirit Primordial Soul advanced to the fifth level of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm. Her overall combat prowess surged once more, now roughly comparable to the eighth-level domain of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
If 1 were to factor in the True Spirit Treasure, Lyra (Person Name), her power could rival that of a Great Perfection Golden Immortal for the most part.
In the not-too-distant years that followed, the soul cultivation of Qing Ji and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) also achieved breakthroughs 1 after another, unknowingly stepping into the Fifth Heaven of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
In the time that followed, Eldrin (Person Name) also devoted himself entirely to cultivating his primordial spirit and comprehending the Great Dao. Finally, 40 million years after the Tribulation, his primordial spirit cultivation broke through to the sixth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Another 20 million years passed, and Eldrin (Person Name) finally managed to cultivate the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos to the sixth level of the Golden Immortal Realm just before the opening of the Primordial Boundary Sea.
Thus, Eldrin had established all 3 of his foundations at the Sixth Level of the Golden Immortal of the Grand Luo, with each foundation rivaling the strength of the Eighth Level.
"What formidable power."
After completing his breakthrough, Eldrin sensed the power flowing within him and slowly exhaled.
3 foundations, each comparable to the Eighth Heaven of the Great Roaming Immortal realm, possessed astonishing individual might. When these 3 foundations merged as 1, the unleashed power was destined to shake the heavens and earth.
Eldrin focused his senses and discovered that his magical power was truly astonishing—far surpassing that of an ordinary Great Perfection Golden Immortal, just as he had anticipated.
"Though his combat prowess had yet to fully step into the realm of a Primordial Emperor, it could be said he already had 1 foot through the gate."
"Even if I were to face an ordinary Great Perfection Golden Immortal now, I believe I would be more than a match for them."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, then slowly withdrew his power.
Emerging from the seclusion chamber, he discovered Lyra and the others had been waiting for a considerable time.
Seeing him emerge from seclusion, Seraphina Qu couldn't help but say with a smile, "The Chaos Boundary Sea is about to open. Your breakthrough at this moment has finally strengthened our forces by another measure."
Eldrin smiled and inquired, "Shall we prepare to set off, then?"
Witnessing this, Lyra (Person Name) could not help but inquire, "From what you imply, how many should we dispatch this time?"
Eldrin pondered briefly. Over these past tens of millions of years, the Chen family's several Great Perfection Golden Immortals had successively achieved breakthroughs.
Among them, Lyra (Person Name)'s True Spirit Primordial Soul and Great Dao cultivation had both broken through to the Fifth Level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. With her formidable foundation augmented by the True Spirit Treasure, her cultivation depth was comparable to the Eighth Level of Great Luo. In combat prowess, she could single-handedly contend against 3 experts of the Eighth Level.
You must understand, an ordinary Great Perfection Golden Immortal could at best contend with 5 Eighth-Level Golden Immortals simultaneously.
With such combat prowess, Lyra (Person Name) could already rival a Grand Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of perfection for the most part.
At this rate, Eldrin estimated that Lyra would possess the combat prowess of a Great Perfection Great Luo Golden Immortal by the time she broke through to the sixth level of Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Such profound reserves, while still not comparable to Eldrin's strength in facing 5 Great Perfection Golden Immortals single-handedly, could undeniably be considered immensely powerful.
Meanwhile, Qing Ji had also reached the Fifth Level of the Golden Immortal Realm. As a being transformed from the Chaos Azure Lotus and possessing 7 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root), her cultivation foundation far surpassed others of the same rank, allowing her to rival even Eighth Level Golden Immortals.
His combat prowess was naturally exceptionally formidable, on par with Lyra (Person Name). Even if 2 or 3 Great Perfection Golden Immortals of the eighth level were to join forces, they might still find it difficult to defeat him.
Seraphina Qu, possessing the 6 True Spiritual Root, was somewhat lacking in foundational depth after all. Fortunately, she wielded the innate killing weapon 9 Extremes Spirit-Severing Sword Array, which compensated for her shortcomings in the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Pass. Thus, she still possessed combat prowess at the peak Great Perfection Eighth Level, capable of facing 2 opponents simultaneously without difficulty.
This level of combat prowess is roughly within the realm of the Violet Extremity Ancient Phoenix and the Chaos Heaven Kui Bull.
In recent years, Reincarnation Avatar had also achieved a breakthrough. With the support of the Mid-Grade Inner Immortal Domain and the 10 Great Immortal Vaults, his magic power had become comparable to that of an Eighth-Level Great Luo Golden Immortal, and his combat prowess could now rival Lyra (Person Name).
Beyond that, the cultivation levels of the others were insufficient, and their spiritual power fell short by more than a notch—at most, they only possessed the strength of the seventh layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
At this thought, Eldrin murmured thoughtfully, "Every time the Chaotic Boundary Sea opens, only those at least at the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm are qualified to enter and explore it. Among them are countless powerful figures of the Hunyuan Emperor level."
"Even if we remain in the periphery and avoid competing for the Primordial Beginning Qi in the core region, we would still encounter numerous Eighth-Level Great Luo Golden Immortals, even those at the Great Perfection stage."
"In such circumstances, venturing deeper would be far too perilous for those with insufficient cultivation."
At this point, Eldrin cast a final glance over the assembly and declared, "For this expedition to the Primordial Chaos Sea, those whose combat prowess falls below the eighth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm shall not participate."
Husband.
Lila and Yan Zijie’s expressions flickered faintly, yet in the end, they could only grit their teeth and agree to Eldrin’s terms.
They had only broken through to the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm a little over 1 kalpa ago, and even the fastest progress in their soul cultivation had merely reached the fifth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm...
His overall combat prowess barely reached the Seventh Level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, making it truly difficult for him to offer substantial assistance under such circumstances.
Seeing the worry on the 2 women's faces, Eldrin patted their shoulders and reassured them, "Do not fret. By guarding the 8 Great Immortal Domains for me, you are lifting a great burden from my shoulders."
Hearing this, both women nodded, a faint smile finally gracing their lips.
After settling his household affairs, Eldrin did not delay any further and immediately set out for the Chaotic Desolate Sea.
This journey to the Chaotic Barren Sea saw the Chen Immortal Clan dispatch 4 Great Luo Golden Immortals: Eldrin, Lyra, Qing Ji, and Seraphina Qu. Including the reincarnation vessel, they could be considered 5 Great Luo Golden Immortals in total.
In addition, Eldrin (Person Name) had also invited the Violetpole Ancient Phoenix. After all, this ancient phoenix was also a top-tier Great Luo Golden Immortal of the eighth level, making her a significant asset.
Moreover, with 6 such formidable forces joining hands, Eldrin estimated they would not flinch even when facing 7 or 8 Great Perfection Golden Immortals.
Thus, the 6 of them traversed the chaos, and before they knew it, they arrived beyond the Chaotic Desolate Sea.
After arriving beyond the Chaotic Desolate Sea, Eldrin surveyed his surroundings and found that numerous Great Luo Golden Immortals had already gathered there.
These Great Luo Golden Immortals all possessed cultivation bases of at least the seventh level of the Great Luo Realm, with no shortage of top-tier Great Luo experts who had reached the Great Perfection stage.
Among the various Great Luo Golden Immortals, some rode true dragons through the skies, others arrived astride chaotic phoenixes, and yet others had primordial demons pulling their chariots. Each emanated an aura of boundless grandeur, like ancient deities standing firm in the depths of chaos.
"What formidable aura."
Eldrin murmured, a trace of solemnity flickering in his pupils.
"Eldrin, it's been a while."
At that very moment, a gentle voice came from nearby.
Eldrin (Person Name) looked up to see a figure clad in jade-like azure robes riding an ancient cyan dragon through the skies, materializing gracefully before him.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Donghua, my apologies for the lack of courtesy."
The newcomer was none other than Immortal Lord Donghua. Clad in emerald robes, he held a folding fan in his hand, resembling an elegant young master from the mundane world, yet exuding an ethereal aura of 1 who stood aloof from worldly affairs.
He chuckled, cupping his hands in a salute to the crowd before saying with a smile, "Each time the Chaotic Boundary Sea opens, it becomes a rare feast for the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the 7 Southern Abyss Domains."
"This is the opportunity to prove 1's path as a Primordial Chaos Emperor, and the best place to obtain the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light."
Eldrin nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Each time the Primal Chaos Boundary Sea opens, vast amounts of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light emerge, and on every occasion, several strands of Primordial Genesis Qi manifest. Such an opportunity leaves no 1 unmoved.
Witnessing this, Immortal Lord Donghua unfurled his folding fan, waving it gently a few times before saying, “Although the Chaos Boundary Sea holds immense opportunities, you must not venture too deeply into it.”
"Oh?"
Eldrin's gaze flickered slightly as he quietly listened to the words of Eastern Flow Immortal Lord.
Elder Immortal Donghua gave a slight nod before continuing, "When the Chaos Boundary Sea opens, the probability of encountering a Chaos Nest of the Primordial Unity level increases the deeper 1 ventures."
Within it lay not only the Primordial Beginning Qi, but also Chaos Fiends of the Primordial Chaos level. Each time 1 emerged, it would draw the contention of numerous Primordial Chaos Monarchs.
At this point, a trace of gravity clouded Emperor Donghua's brow as he said, "The heart of the Chaotic Boundary Sea is a battlefield for Chaos Origin Emperors. We must not venture too deep."
"Just focus on obtaining the Primordial Undying Radiance in the outer regions. If your destiny proves sufficient, you might even encounter the Primordial Genesis Qi."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Eldrin's gaze flickered subtly.
It was foreseeable that even if a wisp of Primordial Qi were to appear in the outer realms, it would inevitably attract the contention of hundreds, if not thousands, of Golden Immortals.
To stand out and obtain the Primordial Qi of Creation, 1 must not only possess formidable means but also astonishing serendipity and fortune.
As they spoke, the Chaotic Desolate Sea before them began to tremble violently. A realm brimming with dense Primordial Light faintly materialized before the crowd.
"The Chaos Boundary Sea is about to take form."
A Great Luo Golden Immortal murmured, his eyes radiating a light that could startle the heavens.
Eldrin's pupils shimmered with a flicker of anticipation and solemnity at the sight.
Most Chaos Realm Seas are born from the primordial Chaos Desolate Sea, woven from the intertwined laws of the Great Dao of Chaos. They are naturally the places where Chaos Nests are nurtured.
Within the bounds of the Southern Abyss' 7 domains, each time a Chaos Boundary Sea gestates, it emerges only after the Chaos Nests within it have fully matured.
The Chaotic Boundary Sea before them radiated such a magnificent Primordial Glow, shining as brilliantly as an eternal sun amidst the chaos, proving they were merely 1 step away from emerging into the world.
"Bzzz—"
No 1 knew how much time had passed when a violent roar suddenly erupted from the chaotic and desolate sea.
Eldrin looked up and saw a violent tremor emanating from the depths of the Primordial Wasteland Sea. Immediately after, that mass of the Chaos Boundary Sea seemed to be veiled by some unknown force, on the verge of vanishing entirely from the Primordial Wasteland Sea.
"Thinking of running? I'm afraid it's not that easy."
At that very moment, a cold sneer echoed from within the chaos.
Eldrin (Person Name)抬头看去，顿时发现一道耀眼无比的剑罡划破苍穹，瞬间劈开了混沌荒海，杀入了混沌荒海之中。
Close behind, dozens of majestic figures tore through the firmament and charged into the Chaotic Desolate Sea.
Eldrin merely glanced at them and realized that every single 1 of these experts possessed an overwhelmingly powerful aura—each capable of tearing apart this chaotic primordial sea with effortless ease.
Western Pole Cavern-Void Sword Emperor, Primordial Thunder Crow Great Emperor, Grand Azure God-Emperor…
Eldrin murmured softly, instantly spotting several figures amidst the gathered heroes.
It was a pity that among these powerful figures, Eldrin did not spot the Black Abyss Emperor; otherwise, his safety would have been far more assured.
The Eastern Emperor appeared to have anticipated this long ago. He cast a glance at the multitude of powerful figures gathered in the heavens and declared, "The Southern Abyss's 7 domains are teeming with experts, and there is no shortage of cultivators at the level of Chaos Origin Emperor."
Each time the Primordial Chaos Sea opens, no more than a few dozen strands of Primordial Qi of Creation emerge. If all the Primal Chaos Emperors were to contend for them, it would be a case of too many monks and too little gruel—fighting over them would only lead to greater losses than gains.
"Hence, each time the various powers of the 7 Immortal Domains forge an alliance, and each time the Chaotic Boundary Sea takes form, no more than 30 Primordial Chaos Emperors may partake."
Among them, the newly-ascended Primordial Chaos Emperors are guaranteed eligibility to enter and explore, while the remaining slots are allocated through rotation among the major powers.
Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, finding the method quite reasonable.
Within the mere 3,000 immortal domains alone, there exist 7 Chaos Heavenly Emperors, yet fewer than 1 in a 100 Hunyuan Emperor Lords ever break through to become Dao Ancestor Immortal Saints.
It was foreseeable that the 3 1000 Immortal Domains harbored at least 700 Primordial Chaos Emperors. Though the other 6 domains of the Southern Abyss might not rival the 3 1000 Immortal Domains in scale, their numbers of Primordial Chaos Emperors were certainly not insignificant.
It could be said that across all 7 domains of the Southern Abyss, there were likely over 3,000 Hunyuan Emperor-level cultivators.
Under such circumstances, if anyone could enter the Chaotic Boundary Sea to compete for resources every time it opened, then no matter how abundant the resources were, they would never be sufficient for distribution—perhaps not even enough to replenish their healing reserves.
Having arranged this in advance, taking turns to allow 30 Chaos Immortal Emperors to enter the competition, though it might only occur once every 10 1000 kalpas, significantly increased their chances of seizing the Primordial Genesis Qi—all without exposing themselves to excessive risks.
Of course, in Eldrin's view, such an arrangement was not entirely beneficial to all parties involved.
As for allowing the newly ascended Primordial Chaos Emperor to venture within and seek opportunities, it appeared to be a gesture of consideration for the new sovereign.
But with the cultivation and foundation of a newly ascended Chaos Emperor, how could he possibly contend against an established Chaos Emperor?
It was clear that the newly ascended Emperors were merely there to make up the numbers. In the end, most would likely fail to obtain the Primordial Genesis Qi, at best acquiring some Primordial Indestructible Luminescence. (Chapter End)
