Chapter 1986 : Chaos Refining Void Bottle

Eldrin had initially assumed that upon stepping into the Immortal Sanctuary Hall, he would face an immensely arduous trial.

To his astonishment, the Hall of Immortal Cosmos was enveloped in utter silence, devoid of any living beings. Only an ethereal treasure vial drifted at the center of the grand hall, rising and falling rhythmically.

It drifted in boundless silence, like a primordial chaos vessel that had existed since the dawn of antiquity, emanating an eternal light of void.

Chaos Spiritual Artifact… the Chaos Void-Refining Bottle.

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, a flicker of astonishment dawning in his pupils.

It turned out that the treasure before them was none other than the Chaos Spiritual Artifact, the Bottle of Void-Refining—a legendary artifact that once shook the Primordial Realm of the Immortal Cosmos.

The Chaos Void-Refining Vial was a Chaos Spiritual Treasure of spatial attributes, ranking among the top 10 supreme Chaos Spiritual Treasures across the celestial domains of the Primordial Abyss during the Great Desolation Era.

This treasure possesses the wondrous ability to refine the Void Heaven, and is 1 of the 3 Chaos Spiritual Treasures of the Dao Ancestor of Immortal Cosmos. It was long believed to have vanished along with the Ancient Immortal Cosmos, yet unexpectedly, it was concealed within this very Immortal Cosmos Treasury.

At this thought, Eldrin suppressed the excitement in his heart and stepped forward to the Chaos Void-Refining Bottle. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he attempted to draw it toward himself.

Contrary to all expectations, the Chaos Void-Refining Vase offered no resistance and was actually drawn into Eldrin’s palm.

Only then did Eldrin realize that the artifact spirit of the Chaos Void-Refining Vessel had long since fallen into a profound slumber.

"The artifact spirit has fallen into a deep slumber, seemingly having suffered unprecedented devastation."

Eldrin murmured softly, making another futile attempt to rouse the artifact spirit before finally storing it away.

The Void-Refining Vial was a Chaos Spiritual Artifact. Only those at least at the late-stage Primordial Emperor realm could barely unleash a sliver of this supreme treasure's power.

If the artifact spirit had not fallen into slumber, Eldrin could have communicated with it to unleash a portion of its power. Yet now that the Nihility-Refining Vial’s artifact spirit had entered dormancy, this treasure was temporarily of little use.

Left with no other choice, Eldrin put away the Chaos Void-Refining Bottle and turned his gaze to examine the Immortal Sanctum Ancient Palace.

The entire Ancient Immortal Palace was virtually empty, containing no treasures aside from the Void-Refining Bottle.

"Was there not a single treasure left behind?"

Eldrin was somewhat taken aback. Upon entering the inner sanctum of the celestial palace, he discovered that the Celestial Herb Garden, the Elixir Pavilion, the Artifact Forging Hall, and other structures were all sealed by restrictive barriers.

Logically speaking, these celestial palaces should all possess trials laid down by the Dao Ancestor of Immortal Realms. 1 could obtain the opportunities within by passing these trials. Yet now, there were no trials, nor any way to break through the seals and enter.

"Has the trial here been invalidated because Immortal Realm Ancestor was targeted?"

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a vague unease gnawing at him. Though he sensed something amiss, the truth remained veiled from his perception. In the end, he could only withdraw.

After stepping out of the Immortal Cosmos Treasury, a faint smile surfaced on Eldrin's face.

Nevertheless, this journey had yielded the most precious Chaos Void-Refining Bottle. This single acquisition alone was enough to surpass all other gains.

Since he hadn't lingered too long in the Immortal Sanctuary Ancient Hall, Eldrin emerged relatively early while the others were still inside the treasury, yet to complete their selections.

Seeing this, Eldrin chose to remain in the Celestial Sanctum Ancient Palace for secluded cultivation. In his leisure time, he sorted through the gains from his journey and discovered he had already gathered all 5 types of supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures as catalysts: Pure Yang, Profound Abyss, Primordial Gold, Vital Essence, and Source Earth.

These rare treasures were all crucial medicinal catalysts for cultivating the 5 Great True Spirit Divine Patterns. Without delay, Eldrin immediately began refining the 5 rare treasures to metamorphose his True Spirit Divine Patterns.

With the aid of the 5 rare treasures, Eldrin's 5 divine spirit patterns immediately began to undergo transformation. As time passed, these 5 great divine patterns grew dramatically, until 1 day they finally reached their limit.

With a deafening roar, Eldrin felt the 5 divine spirit marks within his body undergo another transformation, ascending to the Great Ascension realm.

The Divine Spirit Mark of the Great Perfection Realm.

Eldrin murmured inwardly, once again urging the Divine Mark of True Spirit to empower himself. He discovered that within the Divine Mark of True Spirit lay hidden a power as profound as the abyss and vast as the ocean—a force that, once unleashed, could effortlessly pierce through the heavens and tear apart the boundless chaotic void.

Setting aside his thoughts, Eldrin sorted through his cultivation system and discovered that among his 3 foundational pillars, his Chaos Indestructible Body had already reached the seventh level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Moreover, the crucial 5 True Spirit Divine Runes had also achieved Great Perfection.

His Primordial Spirit cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, with all 3 of his Innate Divine Abilities and 5 True Spirit Divine Abilities having attained perfection.

His cultivation in the Great Dao had approached the eighth level of the Golden Immortal realm. Having refined so many sources of the Dao, his progress would likely remain astonishingly rapid until he achieved perfection in the Golden Immortal realm.

This brought a flicker of delight to Eldrin, who murmured with a trace of amusement, "The foundation of the 3 great pillars has been sufficiently solidified. Now, I may focus wholly on advancing my cultivation."

With this thought in mind, Eldrin stepped out of the Immortal Sanctuary Ancient Hall and entered the Celestial Stairway to await the others emerging from their secluded cultivation.

Before long, everyone began emerging from seclusion 1 after another, their faces alight with joy. Each had gained something of considerable value, whether more or less.

The first to emerge from seclusion was Lyra (Person Name). With a trace of delight in her expression, she said, "I've obtained several strands of Primordial Beginning Qi (Cultivation Resource). It seems this will bolster my confidence when breaking through to the Chaos Origin Emperor realm in the future."

Eldrin nodded slightly, offering no further words.

When everyone emerged from seclusion 1 after another, Eldrin discovered that nearly every person present had obtained several strands of Primordial Genesis Qi.

Chen Xianzhang, Lila (Person Name), Yan Ziji, and others had even obtained the ultimate treasures left behind by the 3 great Immortal Saints—each 1 a supreme artifact capable of defying fate and altering destiny.

Among them, Chen Xianchang obtained a Thalion (Person Name) Divine Marrow, Lila (Person Name) acquired a Frostsoul Immortal Source, while Yan Ziji received a Chaos Fire Jade.

These 3 treasures were all Chaos Wonders of inestimable value, supreme artifacts that aided in breaking through to the realm of Hunyuan Emperor.

If the 3 of them were to break through to the realm of Primordial Chaos Emperor in the future, there was a theoretical possibility they could cultivate another True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation.

Eldrin took stock and realized that aside from Tai Cang Di Yang, the group had collectively obtained over 20 strands of Primordial Beginning Qi, along with dozens of other rare treasures.

With such a fortuitous opportunity, the key resources they would need to break through to the Primordial Emperor realm in the future were now more than half secured.

"It seems our karmic ties to the Primordial Realm of Immortals have grown immensely, almost imperceptibly."

After learning of everyone's gains, Eldrin let out a soft sigh, a trace of wistfulness coloring his expression.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod slightly in agreement.

Having received such bountiful favors, they were bound to repay the karmic debt. With so many opportunities bestowed upon them, they could never stand idly by when the denizens of the Primordial Immortal Realm would eventually awaken.

For the ancient sages of the Primordial Domain in the Immortal Cosmos to awaken, it likely wouldn't be an easy matter.

Given their current strength, they would barely amount to cannon fodder in the face of such karma.

At this thought, Qingji spoke up, "Devote yourselves to cultivation. Only by reaching the quasi-sage level can we barely qualify to offer our modest assistance."

"Only those players who truly desire this Chaos Domain must first set foot in the realm of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor to have any chance of lending a hand in their revival."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod upon hearing this.

Without another word, he led the group down the Celestial Stairway. Only when they reached its end did Eldrin speak again, "Once we step outside, someone may already be plotting against us."

"Stay close by my side, and remember—do not stray from my immediate vicinity."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, their expressions turning grave.

Witnessing this, Eldrin activated the Celestial Relic Token and was instantly transported to a formation platform amidst the chaotic and desolate sea.

Upon reaching the formation platform, Eldrin immediately stepped out and ventured into the distance, only to discover endless arrays spreading across heaven and earth, transforming into divine chains of the Great Dao that sealed off this entire chaotic and desolate sea.

"They're here already."

Eldrin spoke, a hint of frost gleaming in his eyes.

In the boundless void, several majestic figures tore through the firmament 1 after another. At their forefront stood the Eldrin (Person Name), who sneered coldly and declared, "Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), where else could you possibly flee?"

"The Darkmystic Emperor, the Primal Ape Emperor, the Golden Spirit Ancestor, and the Longevity Emperor—4 great emperors scheming together to besiege me. What exquisite tactics you’ve employed."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, his tone carrying a trace of solemnity. "However, with just a few of you, I'm afraid it's still impossible to set up such a lethal formation."

As he spoke these words, Eldrin gazed toward the heavens, where a treasure furnace soared through the sky, radiating boundless void energy that suppressed the entire Chaotic Desolate Sea.

"Innate Supreme Treasure Kui Tian Furnace, I've heard this is the supreme treasure of the Kui Ox Ancestral Court."

"Hmph, you do have a keen eye."

At that very moment, an immensely majestic figure emerged from the depths of the void.

His figure was towering and majestic, like an ancient god or demon breaking through the heavens. He radiated a light akin to an eternal blazing sun, and even a single wisp of his slanted aura stirred endless chaotic tsunamis, causing the vast primordial chaos to rage violently.

Third Elder of the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull Clan—Lord Hunyang!

Eldrin spoke, a trace of solemnity flickering in his gaze.

In the days when the Heavenly Emperor Kui Ox still reigned, the Primordial Kui Ox Clan boasted over a dozen Chaos Origin Emperors. Yet after the Heavenly Emperor Kui Ox was defeated and fled to the Chaotic Desolate Sea, the mighty Primordial Kui Ox Clan saw their strength diminish by more than half, with only 20-some Chaos Origin Emperors remaining in existence.

This Mixed Yang God Venerable was the Third Elder of the Primordial Chaos Kui Ox Clan, whose cultivation was equally unfathomable, having reached the eighth level of the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm.

At this moment, the 4 Great Emperors including Youxuan Emperor were all deeply solemn as they respectfully stepped aside and bowed to the Hunyang Demon God, saying, "We pay our respects to the Divine Venerable 1."

"At ease!"

Lord Hunyang waved his hand dismissively, looking down at Eldrin (Person Name) as he said, "Was it you who interfered in my son's contention for the Great Dao, causing him to be harmed and perish?"

Eldrin (Person Name)很平静，只是看着混沌深处道：“前辈，既然我已替你们引出混阳神尊，接下来就看你们的了。”

"Not good."

The Chaos Yang Divine Lord's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately sought to retrieve the Kui Tian Furnace before making his escape. Yet, it was already too late.

But from the depths of the endless chaos, a golden fist shot forth. Blinding radiance accompanied its trajectory as it struck the Mixed Sun God Venerable, sending him flying backward while coughing up blood.

Close behind, a figure clad in golden battle armor strode through the air, gazing calmly at Eldrin and saying, "Eldrin, you old scoundrel. It’s been a while."

"It's you!"

Lord Hunyang's face abruptly shifted in color, his gaze snapping toward the golden figure with a mixture of shock and fury.

Eldrin's gaze flickered slightly as he recalled this individual's origins. After the Ant Emperor attained the Dao, he had successively nurtured 3 peerless Imperial Sons—all pure-blooded Chaos Imperial Extreme Ants.

The path of physical sanctification makes nurturing bloodlines arduous, yet once an Imperial Scion is born, they often inherit the extraordinary talents and lineage of their forebears.

The same was true for the Ant Emperor's imperial son. As for the youngest son, Tian Xing, he was still but a child—hardly worth mentioning.

But his eldest son, 'Celestial Slaughter,' possessed unparalleled talent, carving a path of invincibility through all 7 domains of the Southern Abyss.

Although he had yet to set foot in the Quasi-Sage Realm, he had already cultivated the forms of 7 divine true spirits, his combat prowess nearly rivaling that of a Quasi-Sage.

Second Son 'Heaven's Ruin' possessed a physical constitution rarely seen since time immemorial. Having only recently reached the Great Perfection of the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm and cultivated but 3 True Spirit Divine Forms, his combat prowess was already sufficient to sweep through the entire Emperor domain, finding no worthy opponents.

The 1 standing before you is none other than the second son of the Ant Emperor, ‘Heaven-Annihilating Great Emperor’.

At this moment, as the Celestial Annihilation Emperor charged forth, the Complexion of the Primordial Sun Divine Venerable shifted repeatedly.

He drew a deep breath, his expression turning profoundly grave as he uttered, "It's you. So you've been scheming against me all along?"

"You old turtle, if not for this opportunity, it would have been truly difficult to catch you."

Tianmie sneered coldly as he spoke. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned a golden divine spear, driving it forward with peerless divine power as he charged toward Hunyang Shenzun. In mere moments, a world-shaking battle erupted.

"Lord Hunyang bellowed with a roar, his voice dripping with unresigned killing intent, 'Do you truly believe this venerable 1 fears you?'"

In the blink of an eye, he harnessed the Kui Tian Lu (Divine Artifact) to suppress the heavens, clashing with Tian Mie (Person Name) in a world-shaking confrontation.

Eldrin led the group away from the battlefield, only to realize that the 4 Great Emperors including Youxuan had already withdrawn from the fray upon sensing the unfavorable turn of events.

To this, Eldrin could do nothing but sigh in resignation.

Given the strength of these Primordial Emperors, if they were truly determined to flee, even a late-stage Primordial Emperor might not be able to stop them.

Unless sealed by a spatial treasure of the Primordial Chaos grade, it would be virtually impossible to completely suppress and annihilate it.

At this thought, Eldrin gazed toward the heart of the battlefield, a trace of solemnity flickering deep within his eyes.

The great battle within the Chaotic Primordial Sea raged on for hundreds of thousands of years. By the time the conflict finally drew to a close, the Divine Lord of Primal Yang had been pierced through his collarbones by golden chains, utterly and completely suppressed.

"Such Primal Emperors are protected by the Great Dao itself—they are virtually impossible to kill."

"Even if the Chaos Heavenly Emperor were to strike, he could only force it into a temporary slumber."

At that moment, Tianxing appeared beside Eldrin (Person Name) unnoticed, speaking with a hint of helplessness, "To deal with such an enemy, 1 must either have a foe of the Great Dao take action or completely suppress them."

Eldrin nodded, a glimmer of comprehension flashing in his eyes.

The Primordial Chaos Emperor's divine soul was indestructible, and with the protection of the Great Dao, it was nearly impossible for him to be completely eradicated.

Even if 1's physical body was destroyed, as long as the primordial spirit remained intact, reconstructing a new form was but a matter of an Eldrin (Person Name). At most, restoring the reforged body to its peak condition would merely demand a considerable price.

Since the enemy could not be slain, there was no choice but to suppress them with a treasure.

To his knowledge, many Chaos Heavenly Emperors forged unique Primordial Treasures—such as the Abyssal Prison Pagoda of the Grand Abyss Immortal Sage, or the Solar Golden Pagoda of the Solar Heavenly Emperor—all designed to suppress such foes.

Clearly, the Ant Emperor also seemed to possess a similar treasure capable of suppressing a supreme Chaos Origin Emperor like Lord Hunyang.

Seeing this, Tian Xing understood his thoughts and said with a smile, "Within our Primordial Heaven's End Domain, there exists a forbidden ground specifically used to imprison powerful enemies. It can suppress the cultivation of those at the Chaos Origin Emperor level."

"By merely piercing the phoenix bone, 1 can completely suppress it within."

Eldrin nodded slightly, having heard some rumors about that forbidden land himself.

It is said that place is called the Forbidden Abyss, which can suppress spiritual power but not physical strength. In ages past, before the Ant Emperor attained the Dao, he was once imprisoned there by the Kui Ox Emperor.

Yet, the Ant Emperor proved to be a peerless genius since time immemorial. By harnessing the power of the forbidden realm, He shattered the limits of His physical form, cultivated the 9 True Spirit Divine Forms, and fought His way out through sheer force.

After emerging from seclusion, the Ant Emperor managed to escape the relentless pursuit of the Kui Bull Emperor, ultimately charging into the Chaotic Desolate Sea where he unexpectedly stumbled upon a chance to prove his Dao.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but say with a smile, "Sealing the descendants of the Kui Bull Celestial Emperor within the Forbidden Dao Abyss can be considered settling the karmic debts of your late father."

Yet Tian Xing shook his head and replied with a faint smile, "As for the matters of the past, ever since the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull was driven to defeat, my father had long since let go of his grievances. He no longer seeks to confront the descendants of the Kui Bull Celestial Emperor."

"We are apprehending the members of the Chaos Kui Ox Tribe solely because they have repeatedly assassinated the younger generation of our Chaos Heaven Ant Tribe."

As he spoke, Tian Xing looked at Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "We owe this success to your assistance. Otherwise, capturing the Chaos Yang Divine Venerable would have been anything but easy."

Eldrin smiled faintly, then spoke: "I should actually thank you for eliminating a major threat on my behalf."

"Each taking what they need—not a bad arrangement."

Tian Xing smiled faintly, then finally waved his hand and departed.

After he departed, a faint glimmer stirred in Eldrin's eyes. In a dazed moment, he glimpsed a golden silhouette flashing through the chaotic rift—its aura vastly surpassing even that of the Celestial Annihilation Emperor.

"That is... the Celestial Slaughter Emperor?"

Eldrin murmured, a flicker of astonishment gleaming in his eyes. (End of Chapter)
