Chapter 1968 : Chaos Boundary Sea

To return to our story, seeing the various Divine Monarchs take the lead in charging into the Desolate Sea, everyone present could no longer remain seated.

In an instant, 1 Great Luo Golden Immortal after another tore through the void, riding divine birds and mythical beasts that pulled war chariots as they charged into the Chaotic Desolate Sea.

"Let us depart as well."

Eldrin spoke, then immediately took a stride that shattered the heavens, heading straight toward the depths of the Primordial Chaos Sea.

Upon entering the Chaotic Abyssal Sea, Eldrin instantly felt an overwhelmingly tyrannical baleful aura assault him. This aura brimmed with chaotic disorder, slicing through the flesh and primordial spirits of Eldrin and his companions like a primordial heavenly blade.

This caused Eldrin's expression to shift slightly. The Chaos Abyss Sea was so terrifying that it could even injure Eldrin's primordial spirit—naturally, the others were finding it even more difficult to endure.

He turned to find Lyra and the others looking somewhat pale; even the immortal seemed slightly affected.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin decisively activated his Primordial Chaos Qi True Aura, shielding them from the overwhelming tide of chaotic miasma and finally warding off the erosion of the Chaotic Desolate Sea.

"Hah—"

Elder Immortal Donghua also took a deep breath, summoning a luminous pearl to shield himself. "The Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea is overwhelmingly potent. Even we Golden Immortals of the Great Luo cannot remain here for more than 1 1000 years at a time, lest we suffer irreversible damage."

"Let us make haste and enter the Chaos Boundary Sea first."

"Excellent—"

Eldrin gave a slight nod, then immediately parted the chaotic primordial sea as he advanced.

As the saying goes, the mountain looks closer than it is—a deceptive proximity that exhausts the steed. The Chaos Boundary Sea appeared vividly near, yet its true distance stretched immeasurably far. They had journeyed for over 3 100 years, traversing countless realms beyond reckoning, before finally reaching that faintly shimmering expanse of the Chaos Boundary Sea.

"What a vast Chaos Boundary Sea."

Eldrin's thoughts raced as he realized the Chaos Boundary Sea was vast and boundless, likely spanning at least several dozen times the size of the Eastern Li Flame Domain.

In the blink of an eye, the group arrived within the Chaotic Boundary Sea.

Donghua Immortal Lord breathed a sigh of relief, then cupped his hands toward Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "I have arranged to journey with several companions, so let us bid farewell here, Fellow Daoist."

Eldrin nodded slightly, a faint smile gracing his lips. "May you achieve immediate victory and return with abundant rewards, Fellow Daoist."

"Hahaha, I'll gladly take those auspicious words."

Lord Donghua let out a hearty laugh before finally bidding farewell to Eldrin and the others.

As the Eastern Florescence Immortal Lord departed, Eldrin did not hesitate and immediately declared, "We shall take our leave as well."

With that, Eldrin led the group toward another direction.

Only then did the assembly finally behold the true visage of the Chaos Boundary Sea—an immeasurably vast expanse teeming with countless chaotic nests.

Most of these Chaos Nests were of a low grade, with the vast majority being Chaos Nests at the Taiyi Realm. Yet among them, numerous mid-grade Chaos Nests stood firmly in place.

Most astonishingly, drifting within the chaos of this primordial boundary sea were countless strands of Primordial Qi and even a considerable number of Indestructible Primordial Sparks.

They journeyed onward, and before long had gathered millions of strands of Primordial Qi, along with 3 wisps of Indestructible Primordial Radiance.

"Such a tremendous harvest is truly worthy of the Chaos Boundary Sea."

No sooner had she set foot in the Chaotic Boundary Sea than she encountered so many fortuitous encounters, bringing a look of pleasant surprise to Seraphina Qu's face.

At that very moment, they unwittingly traversed several Dao paths and arrived before a Great Luo-level Chaos Nest.

This was a low-grade Mahoraga nest, enveloped by an innate grand formation that seemed to have nurtured a Chaos Fiendgod. Its defensive capabilities were comparable to those of a mid-grade immortal domain.

"Take them down. Now."

After a brief moment of estimation, Eldrin spoke directly.

The others immediately sprang into action, unleashing a myriad of supernatural abilities that bombarded the formation. In mere moments, the Chaos Nest Grand Formation was forcibly shattered.

"How dare you!"

As the formation was shattered, the Chaos Demon God within the lair let out a furious roar, immediately seizing a divine spear to strike across the void.

Lyra was about to take action when the Chaos Demon God feigned an attack, instead releasing several streams of Primordial Treasure Light before tearing through the heavens with its divine spear and departing.

"Quite clever."

Eldrin smiled faintly yet made no move to pursue, merely stating calmly, "Considering its cultivation journey has been arduous, we shall grant it a sliver of hope to survive."

A newly ascended Chaos Demon God offered little gain even if slain, and it would inevitably revive and return sooner or later. Eldrin (Person Name) couldn’t be bothered to waste effort hunting it down.

Most crucially, this Chaos Demon God possessed remarkable self-awareness, unexpectedly casting out several of its most treasured artifacts to dissuade Eldrin from pursuing it further.

But Eldrin wasted no time in collecting those several streams of primordial treasure light into his grasp. To his surprise, he found 3 strands of indestructible primordial spiritual radiance, 1 portion of Great Dao origin essence, and a single low-grade primordial divine artifact.

For a low-grade Great Luo Chaos Nest, this most likely represented nearly all of its resources.

An inferior-grade Great Luo Chaos Nest, though capable of nurturing 9 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance, required an extensive period to gradually bring them forth—it was impossible for so many to emerge immediately upon its manifestation.

Getting back to the story, after Eldrin collected these treasures, he immediately ventured deeper into the Chaos.

Soon, they tore through the heavens once more, arriving before another Great Luo Chaos Nest. This was a mid-grade chaos nest, protected by immensely powerful array patterns and even guarded by several Chaos Demons.

But that alone was not enough to unsettle Eldrin. What truly posed a challenge were the several Great Luo Golden Immortals stationed outside the nest.

The group consisted of 9 Great Perfection Golden Immortals. The weakest among them had reached the 7th Tier of Great Perfection Golden Immortal realm, while the 3 strongest had even attained the consummate perfection stage of Great Perfection Golden Immortal.

The leader was a Great Perfection Golden Immortal from the demon race. After casting a glance at the crowd, he declared coldly, "This territory has been claimed by me. Leave at once."

Eldrin's gaze flickered almost imperceptibly, yet he remained silent. In the next instant, he tore through the void and vanished.

Lyra seemed to hesitate, as if wanting to say something but holding back.

Eldrin waved his hand and said, "Though I'm confident in subduing them, their strength is by no means negligible. Given the power balance between our factions, it would take tens of thousands of years to determine a victor."

"Rather than engaging in a fierce battle with them, it's better to seize this opportunity to explore a few more Chaos Nests."

Lyra nodded slightly upon hearing this and said nothing more.

Meanwhile, the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the demon race watched their departure with cold sneers.

1 of them wore an icy expression and spoke calmly, "I heard that Eldrin (Person Name) possessed extraordinary combat prowess, having once faced the joint assault of 6 supreme Great Perfection cultivators like Azure Zenith Ancestor (Person Name) without defeat. But now, it seems he is nothing more than this."

Another Great Perfection Golden Immortal also shook his head before speaking calmly, "This individual is indeed formidable, but perhaps not as exaggerated as some claim."

Greenjade Patriarch cultivated the Dao of Life. Though he possessed a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure and his survival skills were unparalleled even among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, his offensive methods were severely lacking.

"You may have survived Patriarch Qingji, but that doesn't mean you can withstand Fellow Daoist Jinpeng's Golden-Winged Roc Slash."

All the Great Luo of the demon race nodded in agreement upon hearing this, their gazes turning toward the leader.

The Golden-Winged Patriarch’s Great Peng Golden-Winged Slash was a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, peerless in its capacity for slaughter. Its lethality was in no way comparable to the Green Zenith Patriarch’s Ancient Seal of Longevity.

The leader waved his hand, gazing calmly at the Chaos Nest as he said, "Stay focused. Break the formation swiftly."

Just as the demon tribe members were breaking the formation, the group had already traversed through the chaos and began continuously seizing various resources.

In the brief span of just 10 1000 years that followed, they successively seized several Chaos Nests, even wresting 2 mid-grade Great Perfection Chaos Nests from the grasp of several Great Perfection Golden Immortals.

Coupled with the resources obtained from the primordial chaos, they had actually managed to seize over 50 strands of Primordial Undying Radiance.

Such astonishing gains could already be considered extraordinary, yet they had also reached a temporary bottleneck.

Because the mid-to-low grade Great Chaos Nests in the outer regions had nearly all been plundered by this time, while the truly resource-rich superior-grade Chaos Nests were often protected by immensely powerful innate formations.

Even a Great Perfection Golden Immortal would be unable to breach such an array formation alone.

Even if Eldrin and the others joined forces, it would still take them over 10 1000 years to breach a single superior-grade Chaos Nest.

Most crucially, the number of superior-grade Chaos Nests was limited, and their locations were all close to the inner perimeter. Those who dared to venture into the inner perimeter were almost exclusively Great Perfection Stage Great Elders, or groups composed of several top-tier Great Elders.

That day, when Eldrin once again stepped into a chaotic nest, he discovered that all the treasures within had long been plundered clean.

He sighed inwardly, then turned to the companions beside him and said, "It seems we still need to devise a way to see if we can seize the superior-grade Chaos Nest."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

A superior-grade Chaos Nest could, in theory, nurture at least 80-1 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance. Even now, in its nascent stage, it was capable of producing dozens of such innate, imperishable lights.

Securing just 1 or 2 would suffice to provide the resources Eldrin needed to break through to the late-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

At this thought, Lyra (Person Name) nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let us go and seize it."

"It is time to contend with the heroes of the realm."

The Violetpole Ancient Phoenix nodded, a faint smile immediately gracing her lips. Since breaking through to the eighth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, she had yet to engage in a truly exhilarating battle. Now seemed the perfect opportunity.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) said nothing more and immediately led the group toward the inner perimeter.

They had not traveled far before they stepped into the inner region. The Chaos Nest here was indeed far more formidable.

It seemed that being closer to the core had its advantages—the area was teeming with mid-to-high-grade Chaos Nests, among which were no shortage of supreme top-tier ones.

They captured 2 mid-grade Chaos Nests in succession and seized over 20 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance before finally arriving before a high-grade Chaos Nest.

At that very moment, Eldrin discovered that 9 Great Luo realm demonic cultivators were assaulting the formation outside this Chaos Lair.

"It's them."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, instantly recognizing these individuals.

The 9 Great Luo realm demonic beings before them were precisely the same 9 Great Luo Golden Immortals they had encountered at the periphery earlier.

These 9 Great Luo Golden Immortals hailed from 3 distinct tribes of the demon race: the Golden-Winged Great Peng Tribe, the Blazing Emperor Frog Tribe, and the Primordial Heavenly Crocodile Tribe.

The 3 leaders were all Great Perfection Golden Immortals, known respectively as the Golden Wing Patriarch, the Blaze Fiend Sovereign, and the Marsh Crocodile Fiend Sovereign.

Aside from these 3, the remaining 6 were also formidable, consisting of 3 Great Perfection Golden Immortals at the 8th Layer and 3 at the 7th Layer.

With such formidable power, they were absolutely not to be underestimated. However, breaching this supreme-grade Chaos Nest would likely require at least 10 to 20 1000 years.

Just as Eldrin’s thoughts wavered, the 9 Great Luo Golden Immortals also noticed them.

"Make haste, all of you…"

The Golden-Winged Roc Clan's Golden Roc Demon Lord was about to drive them away when the Blazing Emperor Frog Clan's Blaze Demon Lord spoke up from the side, "Fellow Daoist Golden-Wing, hold a moment."

"Hmm?"

The Golden Roc Demon Lord’s gaze flickered slightly as the Blaze Flame Demon Lord spoke, “Breaking this formation has drained a significant amount of our mana. If we drive them away now, they might seize the opportunity to strike when we’re exhausted after finally breaching the defenses. That could pose quite a problem.”

"In my opinion, it would be better to join forces with them to break the formation together."

Hearing this, the Crocodile Demon Lord felt somewhat unwilling and couldn't help but speak up, "A single superior-grade Chaos Nest is barely enough to be divided among our 3 factions. How could we possibly share it with this Abyssal Return Daoist?"

"Who said anything about sharing with them?"

Upon hearing this, a faint chill flickered in the eyes of the Blaze Patriarch as he responded.

The Golden Roc Demon Lord also nodded calmly, a cold sneer playing on his lips. "Once the matter is concluded, if he knows what's good for him, he should leave of his own accord. If he refuses to see reason..." He paused, his voice sharpening like a blade. "Then he'll have to ask whether my Great Roc Golden Wing Slash is keen enough."

As the words fell, Golden Roc Demon Lord turned his gaze toward Blaze Flame Demon Lord, signaling him to step forward and respond.

The Blazeflame Demon Lord saw this and immediately tore through the void, materializing before Eldrin and the others. With a faint smile, he spoke, "Fellow Daoists, please stay your steps. Since we have chanced upon each other, it must be fate."

"Now that this Chaos Nest is right before our eyes, why don't we join forces to claim it?"

Without waiting for Eldrin to respond, the Violetpole Ancient Phoenix inquired, "How shall we distribute the treasures once the task is accomplished?"

"Then we shall each rely on our own means."

The Blazing Flame Demon Lord spoke, a genial smile gracing his features as he said.

Eldrin gave a slight nod before speaking calmly, "Then it's settled."

As the words fell, Eldrin gave the group a meaningful glance, then strode directly before the supreme-grade Chaos Lair.

At that moment, the 2 Great Luo Golden Immortals met. After sizing each other up briefly, they immediately began breaking the formation.

To breach a superior-grade Chaos Nest like this, given Eldrin's current strength and the combined efforts of the group, it would only take approximately 10,000 years to break through.

But at this moment, to guard against several great demon lords, Eldrin did not unleash his full power, merely displaying the combat strength of an ordinary Great Perfection Golden Immortal.

The others had also held back their true strength, merely displaying the prowess of a seventh-level Great Luo Golden Immortal. Even Lyra (Person Name) and the Violet Extreme Ancient Phoenix only revealed combat power equivalent to an ordinary eighth-level Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Golden Roc Demon Lord was slightly taken aback at the sight.

In his view, Eldrin (Person Name) possessing combat prowess at the Great Perfection stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal was already remarkably astonishing.

You must understand, in his original estimation, Eldrin had only barely managed to withstand the joint assault of Patriarch Qingji and the others by relying on the supreme authority of the Path of Self-Sacrifice. His true combat prowess likely hadn’t even reached the peak of the Great Perfection stage of the Golden Immortal.

But now, Eldrin's combat prowess had reached the peak of the Great Perfection stage of the Golden Immortal realm, proving his extraordinary battle strength.

"If we do not eliminate this scoundrel, he may become a calamity in the future."

Golden Roc Demon Lord’s heart trembled, and he couldn’t help but exchange a glance with the few people beside him.

They said no more, yet a flicker of meaning stirred deep within their pupils.

Meanwhile, Eldrin had roughly gauged the cultivation levels of the group. Among these Great Luo Golden Immortals before him, the 3 at the 8th-layer and 3 at the 7th-layer posed little concern.

However, the 3 Great Perfection Golden Immortals were truly no weaklings in terms of strength.

Among the 3, neither the Blaze Fiend Lord nor the Verdant Crocodile Fiend Lord had a Primordial Chaos Emperor backing them, their strength resting at the peak of the ordinary Great Perfection Golden Immortal level.

Among them, Golden Roc Demon Monarch possessed extraordinary strength. As the Third Elder of the Golden-Winged Roc Clan, he wielded a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure to suppress his destiny. His power alone could rival the combined might of Blazeflame Demon Monarch and Marshcroc Demon Monarch.

It must be understood that among the supreme Great Luo Golden Immortals, none are weak. All 3 who have cultivated to this realm have essentially achieved 2 or 3 indestructible foundations.

Thus, with the 3 joining forces, their combined strength was sufficient to rival 4 Great Perfection Golden Immortals. Even if Eldrin were to face this trio, he would need to seize the opportunity to defeat them 1 by 1 to stand a chance of victory.

Even as his thoughts wavered, the combined assaults of the crowd finally proved too much for the Chaotic Nest to bear. In the end, it was the Golden Roc Demon Lord’s strike that decisively pierced through it.

Boom—

As the formation shattered, the Chaos Nest trembled violently, and several Demon Gods immediately attempted to flee for their lives.

Alas, the Golden Roc Demon Lord had long been prepared. In a flash, he unleashed a blinding sword radiance—a torrent of sword energy that pierced through the primordial chaos, instantly striking toward those several Chaos Fiends.

These Chaos Fiendgods had only recently emerged into the world, their cultivation at most reaching the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Faced with the assault of several consummate Great Luo Golden Immortals, how could they possibly defy the heavens with their limited power?

Pfft... pfft... pfft...

In the mere blink of an eye, accompanied by waves of agonized shrieks, several Chaos Gods perished instantly on the spot.

Immediately after, dozens of dazzling Innate Treasure Lights (Treasure Glow) emerged within the primordial chaos, their radiance so intense it nearly pierced through the boundless mist.

"Let's move."

At almost the same moment, both sides struck with remarkable synchrony.

Eldrin (Person Name) was the first to strike, immediately harnessing the Chaos Manifestation Art to materialize 10 directions of primordial chaos weapons that swept across the 8 desolates, launching an assault against the 3 great demon lords: Green Crocodile, Golden Wings, and Blazing Flame.

Lyra and the other 4 also made their move, intercepting 5 Great Luo realm demonic beings.

"What gall."

Seeing Eldrin dare to face 3 opponents alone, the Azure Crocodile Demon Lord let out a booming laugh. He swiftly mounted a massive halberd, charging forth to meet Eldrin in a staggering collision.

Eldrin remained utterly unfazed. Wielding the Chaos-Born Soldier Art, he struck out against formidable foes from all directions. In an astonishingly brief span, 3 supreme Great Luo experts engaged in a breathtaking clash.

In an instant, chaos was annihilated, heaven and earth overturned, yin and yang reversed, and countless great realms flickered between existence and oblivion amidst the ferocious battles of the cultivators.

"How could he be so powerful?"

In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over 3 1000 moves, and finally, the Golden Roc Demon Lord sensed something amiss.

Eldrin's displayed combat prowess was truly extraordinary, seemingly far beyond what an ordinary Great Perfection Golden Immortal could ever hope to match.

The Blazeflame Demon Lord seemed to have noticed something and immediately remarked, "This is a Chaos Attribute Divine Ability. It can unleash even greater power within the Chaos Sea. Moreover, this ability appears to be a top-tier Divine Ability most adept at group combat."

"A group combat divine ability?"

Golden Roc Demon Lord’s pupils turned icy as he declared, “Then witness how I shall shatter your group-combat divine art with my ultimate killing weapon!”

As the words fell, a golden wing shot out from behind Golden Roc Demon Lord.

Those golden wings were forged from Imperishable Aurum, each feather resembling a blade of the Imperishable Heaven Sword.

At this moment, as the Golden Roc Demon Lord unleashed his power, countless feathered wings transformed into Indestructible Heavenly Swords that shot forth, enveloping Eldrin (Person Name) completely with the divine might to cleave apart primordial chaos.

In that instant, even the 10 Chaos Ancient Soldiers derived from the Art of Chaos Soldier Manifestation could not withstand the assault. They were instantly reduced to swirling ashes by the boundless storm of feathered sword rain.

Supreme Primordial Spiritual Treasure (Magic Treasure).

Witnessing this scene, a faint chill flashed through Eldrin’s eyes—yet it was something he had long anticipated.

The Art of Chaotic Arms Forging was, after all, merely a minor divine ability—not a true primordial spirit art. Though Eldrin’s foundation in magical power was profound, allowing him to unleash a force rivaling that of a great divine ability, it ultimately fell short of a genuine great divine art.

Facing a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, it was no surprise that the Chaos Weapon-Forging Art could not withstand it.

Yet even so, facing this supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure adept in slaughter, Eldrin still had a strategy to counter it.

Eldrin acted decisively, instantly summoning the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

In an instant, the Void Abyss Seal transformed into the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure), unleashing a torrential beam of light that astonishingly seized the Golden-Winged Roc Slash in an unyielding grip.

"Not good."

The Golden Roc Demon Lord's expression shifted slightly. He sought to retract the Great Roc Golden Wing Slash, but it was already too late.

In the blink of an eye, 10 great immortal treasures surged and roiled behind Eldrin as the Abyssal Return Seal split into 10 fragments, each descending into 1 of these celestial reservoirs.

Instantly, Eldrin's aura surged explosively, his cultivation and combat power rapidly escalating until he was almost half a step into the Primordial Emperor realm.

"Damn it—"

In that instant, Golden Roc Demon Lord's face drastically changed as he immediately prepared to unleash a forbidden divine ability in a desperate struggle.

But at that very moment, he suddenly sensed the restraints on the Great Peng Golden Wing Slash loosen slightly. Overjoyed, he immediately retrieved the Great Peng Golden Wing Slash.

Right after, he cast a deep, meaningful glance at Eldrin, then immediately tore through the primordial chaos and departed.

Meanwhile, Eldrin pushed the power of the Yin Yang Void Mirror to its limits. Instantly, a vast spatial force enveloped the primordial chaos, completely sealing the 8 Great Luo Golden Immortals—including the Crimson Flame Patriarch—within its confines.
