Chapter 2095 : Clash of Immortal Titans

The most crucial reason was that Eldrin Chen was the direct disciple of the Immortal Firmament Path Ancestor [a supreme being who has comprehended the fundamental laws of existence and attained immortality].

That Immortal Firmament Path Ancestor from ages past was once the foremost figure among the Half-Step Path Union [cultivators who have nearly merged their being with the fundamental laws of the universe] in the Blazing Central Hundred Domains. The revival of such a being would inevitably alter the power dynamics of the Blazing Central Hundred Domains to a significant degree.

One more top-tier Half-Step Path Union contender meant one more rival competing for the same pool of vital resources.

By suppressing Eldrin Chen, they might delay the Immortal Firmament Path Ancestor's resurgence—an effortless maneuver that served their interests perfectly.

"Attack!"

With that thought, the Crimson Phoenix Saintess and the Chaos Dragon Lord moved instantly, joining forces to besiege Eldrin Chen.

As for the Azure Mist Female Sage, the Verdant Sun Saint Lord, and the Thunder Halberd Heavenly Saint, they all surged toward the Primordial Era Demonic Ape [an ancient, monstrous ape born from the primordial chaos] and the Obsidian Abyss Sage Ascendant, intent on driving away these two supreme powerhouses.

The great battle erupted in an instant. Within moments, hundreds of fierce exchanges had already been traded between the two sides.

The conflict instantly escalated to its zenith. Eldrin Chen, standing alone against three formidable foes, immediately felt an immense pressure bearing down upon him.

Three opponents who could challenge a Heavenly Emperor [a sovereign ruler whose power rivals the heavens themselves], even if they could not unleash the full might of their Chaos Spiritual Artifact [weapons or tools forged from or infused with the power of primordial chaos], possessed combat power approaching eighty percent of a true Chaos Heavenly Emperor's [a Heavenly Emperor who commands the primordial chaos] level.

With the augmentation of the Chaos Spiritual Artifact [a primordial artifact of immense power], their offensive prowess, if judged solely on that aspect, had reached a level comparable to that of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a supreme sovereign who has mastered the primordial chaos].

At the critical moment, Eldrin Chen pushed his physical body's Sole Divine Form [a divine transformation technique], the Chaos Divine Form [a chaotic divine transformation] of the Great Path [the supreme cultivation art], and the power of the Limitless Great Path [the boundless great path] from the Sacrificial Self Path [a profound cultivation art centered on self-sacrifice] to their absolute limits. His combat power surged, nearly ascending to the Heavenly Emperor's Domain [the realm of a Heavenly Emperor].

Even so, facing three opponents alone, Eldrin Chen found himself subtly forced onto the defensive.

For each of the three possessed formidable strength, nearly sixty to seventy percent of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor's might. Bolstered by their Chaos Spiritual Artifact, their power was almost on par with a newly ascended Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Confronted by the combined assault of three forces, each nearly rivaling a Heavenly Emperor [a supreme sovereign ruler], the odds were overwhelming.

Even with Eldrin Chen's pinnacle strength, unleashing every technique and reserve of power in a full eruption, it was unlikely he could defeat their united front. Moreover, unless absolutely necessary, Eldrin Chen was reluctant to commit to such an all-out effort.

Given the circumstances, it seemed Eldrin Chen's only viable path was a strategic retreat.

Yet, at that very moment, the vast expanse of the Sunken Abyss Heaven [a heavenly realm of profound depths] shuddered violently. An indescribable power erupted from within the colossal cauldron.

The complexions of everyone present changed drastically, their gazes snapping towards the interior of the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron [a titanic alchemical cauldron associated with the sunken abyss].

There, before the immense Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron, a majestic figure, drenched in blood, strode forward. Step by deliberate step, he advanced into the very heart of the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron.

With each step he took, the pressure surrounding him surged violently, and the injuries covering his entire body grew more severe.

As time passed, the man's body began to fissure, covered in terrifying bloody cracks as if he were on the verge of shattering.

"Pan huang-radiant."

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted abruptly, revealing a trace of solemn gravity.

Everyone present ceased their actions. The Primordial Era Demonic Ape looked over and could not help but show a sliver of admiration as it spoke.

"To step into the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron and face the boundless Sunken Abyss power of Sunken Abyss Heaven head-on."

"This Pan huang-radiant seeks to break and then rebuild, to take that final step forward."

The expressions of those present varied. The Blazing Center Incinerator spoke with a cold sneer: "The Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron is a Middle Grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and it has gathered the boundless power of Sunken Abyss Heaven."

"This is the place where the Fleshly Body Sanctification lineage's Chaos Heavenly Emperor tempers their physical form. The crushing pressure within the cauldron is nearly equivalent to an entire Primordial Domain; even we would struggle to escape if trapped within."

"This Pan huang-radiant has not yet cultivated the Sole True Form and dares to enter with his true body. He truly has no regard for his own life."

The Crimson Phoenix Saintess furrowed her brow slightly and spoke, "The Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron [a legendary cauldron of immense weight and power] is the cultivation site of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a supreme sovereign of primordial chaos]. Now, Pan huang-radiant has fully activated the formation arrays here."

"It seems we must suspend our battle for now."

Everyone present nodded in agreement. According to the Heavenly Rules [the cosmic laws and edicts] established by the Heavenly Furnace Grotto-Heaven [a celestial realm of forging and tempering], this situation signified that the Heavenly Emperor [a supreme sovereign] of that realm was in secluded cultivation—a state that absolutely must not be disturbed.

If they dared to seize treasures or engage in battle near the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron now, it would be seen as obstructing the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's cultivation and would provoke suppression from the cauldron itself.

Therefore, until Pan huang-radiant either succeeded in his breakthrough or perished, they could neither claim the treasures within the cauldron nor resume their fight.

With this realization, Blazing Center Incinerator cast a cold glance at Eldrin Chen, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart.

Eldrin Chen paid it no mind. His gaze remained calm and steady, fixed upon the depths of the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron, watching as Pan huang-radiant began his cultivation ordeal.

They saw Pan huang-radiant marshaling the full power of his Nine True Spirit Divine Forms [a supreme technique manifesting the forms of nine primordial spirits], straining against the immense pressure of the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron with everything he had.

Yet, how could the power of the Nine True Spirit Divine Forms possibly withstand the crushing weight of a cauldron designed to temper a Heavenly Emperor?

"*Crack... Crack...*"

A series of cracking sounds echoed as Pan huang-radiant's physical body split open with one crack after another, resembling a piece of porcelain on the verge of shattering.

"The Path of Force Extreme [the Dao of ultimate, unyielding force], too rigid, too brittle,"

Verdant Sun Saint Lord murmured softly, a trace of regret in his voice. "It seems Pan huang-radiant is doomed to fall."

As his words faded, Pan huang-radiant's body violently shattered, exploding like a piece of porcelain into a mist of blood that scattered in all directions.

The onlookers witnessing this scene all wore varied and complex expressions.

"Overestimating his own strength," sneered Blazing Center Incinerator with derision.

Crimson Phoenix Saintess shook her head, a note of pity in her tone. "Pan huang-radiant possessed no small talent, but alas, he chose a path with no return."

"A fool who sought his own demise, nothing more."

Chaos Dragon Lord let out a scornful laugh, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

In his view, whether it was the path of ultimate force or that of ultimate defense, both were dead ends with glaringly obvious weaknesses.

Take Indestructibility Ancient One for example. In the past, he had ventured into the Heavenly Furnace Ruins [the ruins of a legendary celestial forge] over a dozen times, yet never once did he manage to obtain any truly precious treasures.

This was because his offensive power was insufficient to seize the genuinely valuable treasures, making it difficult for him to get even a share of the spoils. He was often ignored by the many Sage Ascendant level experts present, who could simply shrug off his attacks.

"It seems the Path of the Ultimate is, in the end, a dead end," someone sighed.

A collective sigh of regret rippled through the assembled crowd, and they steeled themselves, preparing to commence the battle.

But at that very moment, Eldrin Chen shook his head and declared, "It is done!"

"*Hummm—*"

As Eldrin Chen's words fell, the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron trembled violently.

Within the vast, crimson mist, nine divine forms of the Great Path of Force slowly swirled, ultimately coalescing into a single, magnificent azure lotus.

Then, the Lotus Throne began to voraciously absorb the boundless sea of blood and gore, drawing in every last fragment of Pan huang-radiant's shattered physical form.

Once all the bloody mist had been consumed, the azure lotus slowly bloomed, transforming into a resplendent Azure Lotus Throne.

And upon that Lotus Throne [a seat of immense power, often associated with enlightenment or supreme authority], a burly man sat cross-legged, emanating an aura of invincibility, as if he had battled across the Myriad Heavens [the countless celestial realms of existence].

"Sole Divine Form——Primordial Chaos Verdant Lotus."

The Thunder Halberd Sage Ascendant [a supreme cultivator who has ascended to the threshold of sagehood] suddenly spoke, a trace of astonishment coloring his voice.

Primordial Era [the ancient, mythic age at the dawn of creation] Moyao was also deeply impressed and could not help but remark, "Destruction precedes creation; great ruin gives rise to great order."

"At the final moment, he sacrificed his old body, cultivated the Sole Divine Form [a unique and supreme physical manifestation of one's cultivation path] of the Primordial Chaos Verdant Lotus [a legendary lotus born from the primordial chaos, symbolizing purity and rebirth], and used it as a foundation to gestate a new form. His combat power has likely stepped into a realm beyond comprehension."

"Boom——"

At that very instant, a world-shaking radiance erupted from within the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron [a massive, ancient cauldron of immense power, said to be forged in the depths of an abyss].

Pan huang-radiant [a figure of immense power and radiance] abruptly rose to his feet. Beside him, the Abyssal War Armor [a legendary suit of armor imbued with the power of the abyss] suddenly trembled violently before dispersing into countless pieces of plate that flew towards him and settled upon his form.

Everyone present was struck with astonishment. The Abyssal War Armor they had sought in vain had actually chosen Pan huang-radiant of its own accord, acknowledging him as its master.

Thereafter, Pan huang-radiant calmly shrugged off the immense pressure emanating from the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron and stepped forth from it with an air of profound tranquility.

"From this day forth, I am the Panhuang Emperor."

The Panhuang Emperor spoke slowly, then gazed calmly at Blazing Center Incinerator and the other Mortal Path cultivators. "Come, let us fight!"

In that instant, the Panhuang Emperor unleashed a mighty strike. An unimaginable divine force cleaved through the Sunken Abyss Heaven, violently parting the vast Chaos Heavy Water as it surged toward Blazing Center Incinerator with overwhelming power.

Blazing Center Incinerator raised the Chaos Scorching Heaven Spear to block with all his might, yet he was instantly sent flying, coughing blood, and slammed deep into the heart of the abyss.

"The direct heir of the Path Union is nothing more than this."

Having defeated Blazing Center Incinerator in a single move, the Panhuang Emperor stepped forward through the air, his expression serene. His tone carried a hint of mockery, yet his face remained utterly calm as he spoke.

"*Boom*—"

At that moment, Blazing Center Incinerator staggered out, his gaze fixed on the Panhuang Emperor with a mixture of shock and fury.

Yet, after a brief pause, he suppressed his rage and said, "With your strength, you are indeed worthy of wielding the Abyssal War Armor [a legendary suit of armor forged in the depths of the primordial abyss]."

"Now that you have obtained this treasure, you should depart swiftly. We shall let bygones be bygones."

"Let bygones be bygones?"

The Panhuang Emperor let out a cold laugh. He did not immediately answer Blazing Center Incinerator. Instead, he turned and reached into the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron [a legendary cauldron forged in the primordial abyss].

He erupted with a world-shaking, boundless divine power, forcibly extracting the Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy from which all creation sprang], the Abyssal Depths Divine Iron [a mythical metal tempered in the deepest abyss], and the Chaos Mother Spring [the legendary source spring of all chaotic energies]. He then tossed all three treasures into the hands of Eldrin Chen.

Eldrin Chen caught the three treasures, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.

The Panhuang Emperor merely shook his head, his voice calm as he spoke. "The debt of saving my life, the grace of attaining my path—these are beyond repayment."

"Let these three treasures serve as a token of my gratitude."

"You dare!"

Witnessing the Panhuang Emperor brazenly take the three treasures, the assembled figures erupted in fury.

Blazing Center Incinerator, incandescent with rage, immediately summoned his Chaos Scorching Heaven Spear [a spear capable of scorching the heavens with chaotic fire] and charged at Pan huang-radiant.

Almost in the same instant, the Chaos Dragon Lord, the Crimson Phoenix Celestial Maiden, and the others also took action. They unleashed their divine weapons, their killing intent converging upon the Panhuang Emperor.

"You all claim that the Path of Extremity is a dead end."

Facing the assault of the crowd, Panhuang Emperor remained unmoved. Instead, he spoke calmly, "Today, I shall let you witness what the Path of Extremity truly is."

"Boom—"

As his words fell, Panhuang Emperor erupted with his full power. Wielding boundless extremity force, he struck out horizontally against the gathered heroes. Though the many powerful figures present all claimed they could rival a Heavenly Emperor [the supreme ruler of a heavenly domain], almost none could withstand a single blow from him.

"Such formidable power."

Witnessing Panhuang Emperor wreak havoc on all sides, Obsidian Abyss Sage Ascendant could not help but speak with considerable astonishment.

Eldrin Chen had somewhat anticipated this. With a tone of surprise, he remarked, "The power of Pan huang-radiant surpasses that of an ordinary Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a Heavenly Emperor who has mastered primordial chaos] by more than fifty percent."

"Although these individuals boast of rivaling a Heavenly Emperor, their offensive power reaches at most seventy percent of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor's level."

"Even wielding Chaos Spiritual Artifact [divine weapons forged from primordial chaos], they cannot unleash the artifacts' full potential. Naturally, they are far from being a match for Panhuang Emperor."

At this point, Eldrin Chen shook his head again and said, "Of course, the fact that Panhuang Emperor possesses such combat prowess is also greatly related to that Abyssal War Armor [a legendary suit of armor forged in the depths of the abyss]."

Upon hearing this, Obsidian Abyss Sage Ascendant [a powerful cultivator who has ascended to a sage-like state] also nodded in agreement.

The offensive power of the Panhuang Emperor [a legendary emperor figure] surpassed that of most Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a supreme title for a ruler of primordial chaos], yet his defensive capabilities were merely on par with an ordinary Limitless Sage Ascendant [a high-level sage cultivator].

This was a significant weakness. Without the Abyssal Battle Armor [a legendary suit of armor forged in the abyss], even if both sides fought exchanging blow for blow, the Panhuang Emperor would find it difficult to stand alone against the assembled heroes.

However, with the Panhuang Emperor having obtained the Abyssal War Armor [the legendary Abyssal War Armor], the situation changed dramatically.

This Abyssal War Armor possessed no offensive power of its own, but it could drastically mitigate incoming damage.

Even attacks at the level of an ordinary Chaos Heavenly Emperor could be weakened by eighty percent by the Abyssal War Armor.

Meanwhile, even when Blazing Center Incinerator [a powerful cultivator] and the others unleashed their full power, their strongest offensive techniques barely reached a level approaching that of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

Under such circumstances, the Panhuang Emperor could fight with reckless abandon, unleashing his full might without reservation. His combat effectiveness was far greater than a simple sum of its parts.

"The strength of Fellow Daoist Panhuang Emperor is indeed Extraordinary [remarkable and outstanding], yet we cannot simply stand by and watch,"

Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] remarked with a faint smile, observing the Panhuang Emperor wreaking havoc across the battlefield.

In an instant, he mounted the Chaos Heaven Halberd [a supreme halberd forged from primordial chaos] and soared into the air, blocking the path of his formidable foe, Thunder Halberd Heavenly Saint.

Meanwhile, Obsidian Abyss Sage Ascendant and Primordial Era Demonic Ape each engaged Azure Mist Female Sage and Verdant Sun Saint Lord, holding their own against the powerful adversaries.

Panhuang Emperor fought alone against three opponents—Crimson Phoenix Saintess, Chaos Dragon Lord, and Blazing Center Incinerator—yet he did not yield an inch of ground.

By this point in the battle, Eldrin Chen had discerned the pattern. Beings like Thunder Halberd Heavenly Saint, who dared to challenge a Heavenly Emperor [a supreme ruler among immortals], possessed a comprehensive combat power roughly equivalent to sixty percent of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor's might.

As for Blazing Center Incinerator and his ilk, because they wielded Chaos Spiritual Artifact [supreme artifacts forged from the essence of primordial chaos], their overall strength was somewhat greater, reaching perhaps eighty percent of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor's level.

However, the Chaos Spiritual Artifact they commanded were all suited for Fleshly Body Sanctification [a cultivation path focused on tempering the physical body to divine levels]. These treasures did not require spiritual energy to activate; they could be wielded through sheer physical power alone.

Yet, this very characteristic was also their limitation. To unleash the immense destructive potential of such Chaos Spiritual Artifact, the wielder needed to possess correspondingly immense physical strength.

Their cultivation realms and inherent power were insufficient. They could only unleash a fraction of the Chaos Spiritual Artifact's true, world-shattering might.

Take the Chaos Scorching Heaven Spear [a spear blazing with the fires of chaos] as an example. If this supreme treasure were in the hands of Ant Heavenly Emperor, he could likely shatter Panhuang Emperor's physical form with a single blow, and even the legendary Abyssal War Armor might not be enough to protect him.

"Without sufficient personal strength, even possessing a Chaos Spiritual Artifact is of little use," Eldrin Chen mused inwardly. "One cannot unleash its true power."

"In contrast, armor-type Chaos Spiritual Artifact [a primordial-grade enchanted artifact] can passively unleash nearly their full power, providing immense utility even to those of lower cultivation realms."

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Eldrin Chen deliberately maintained his physical combat prowess at eighty percent of its peak.

With Panhuang Emperor holding the front line, he was more than happy to conceal his true strength, saving it to catch future opponents off guard.

Yet, even at only eighty percent of his might, Eldrin Chen's power far surpassed what Thunder Halberd Heavenly Saint could muster.

This Thunder Halberd Heavenly Saint was a standard contender who could challenge a Heavenly Emperor [a supreme ruler among immortals], having cultivated speed, defense, and strength in equal measure, each aspect reaching about sixty percent of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor's [a supreme ruler born from primordial chaos] level.

However, at his full power, Eldrin Chen's combat strength was not the least bit inferior to a Chaos Heavenly Emperor, making even eighty percent of it formidable beyond measure.

After merely tens of thousands of exchanges in their fierce duel, Thunder Halberd Heavenly Saint found himself unable to hold on any longer.

Seeing Eldrin Chen remain utterly unperturbed, and witnessing Blazing Center Incinerator and the others retreat in defeat one after another, he finally understood the tide had irrevocably turned.

"Whoosh—"

Thus, without a moment's hesitation, Thunder Halberd Heavenly Saint tore through the vastness of the Sunken Abyss Heaven [a celestial realm of profound depths] via spatial translocation, vanishing into the boundless reaches at the edge of the Void Heaven [the realm of primordial emptiness].

Witnessing the Thunder Halberd Heavenly Saint flee, the remaining combatants finally grasped that the tide had irrevocably turned. One by one, they abandoned the field, their figures streaking away into the distant horizon.

Only after the last of them had vanished did Eldrin Chen turn his gaze to Panhuang Emperor. He offered a respectful clasped-fist salute. "My congratulations, Fellow Daoist. Having now cultivated the Sole Divine Form [a supreme physical manifestation technique] and gained the protection of the Abyssal War Armor [a legendary suit of battle armor], your future standing is beyond compare."

The Panhuang Emperor's expression turned solemn. He bowed deeply to Eldrin Chen. "Had you not intervened earlier, I would have most certainly met my final end."

"And had you not held the line to block our foes, I could never have entered the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron [a mythical cauldron of immense power]."

"Moreover, my daring gamble to break through destruction and achieve rebirth was only possible thanks to the insights you shared previously."

Speaking to this point, the Panhuang Emperor performed another profound bow. "Such grace and favor—the Panhuang Emperor shall remember it for all his days, never to be forgotten."

"Please, rise quickly."

Eldrin Chen hurriedly helped the Panhuang Emperor to his feet, a wave of sincere gratification washing over him. "These were but trivial efforts. That you could shatter your limits and rise anew was due, in greatest part, to your own resolve and strength."

The Panhuang Emperor shook his head, his tone grave and unwavering. "What you deem trivial was, for me, the grace that saved my life and paved my path to the Great Dao."

Seeing his steadfast demeanor, Eldrin Chen chose to say no more on the matter.

He reached out and gathered the thirty-three portions of Chaos Rare Treasure [a primordial treasure of immense rarity and power] from the cauldron. Then, he handed over more than ten of them to the Primordial Era Demonic Ape [a primordial beast of immense power from the dawn of time] and said, "You contributed significantly to this battle, Fellow Daoist. These are your share."

The Primordial Era Demonic Ape did not refuse. It directly accepted these dozen or so portions of Chaos Rare Treasure, showing no dissatisfaction with the amount.

After all, in this battle, Panhuang Emperor [a legendary emperor from the dawn of creation] had contributed the most, and Eldrin Chen had displayed combat prowess second only to him. It was only fitting they received the lion's share.

After storing the treasures, the ape looked at Eldrin Chen and stated, "Though we cooperated today, it was ultimately just a single instance of collaboration."

"When we meet again upon the Heaven Abyss [a mythical realm or battlefield among the heavens], there will be no need for either of us to hold back."

"Agreed."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, then watched as the Primordial Era Demonic Ape departed.

After the Primordial Era Demonic Ape had left, Panhuang Emperor also spoke up. "Now that the treasures have been secured, I shall not linger here any longer."

"We shall meet again upon the Three Heavens in days to come."

"Very well. We shall meet again upon the Three Heavens."

Eldrin Chen cupped his hands in farewell, bidding adieu to the Panhuang Emperor.

Only after the Panhuang Emperor had also departed did Eldrin Chen proceed to retrieve the various Rare Treasure [a general term for exceptionally valuable spiritual objects], beginning their distribution with the Obsidian Abyss Sage Ascendant.

This time, their haul of treasures was immense. The most precious among them were three items of Chaos Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from primordial chaos, containing immense and fundamental power]: the Abyssal Depths Divine Iron, the Chaos Mother Spring, and the Chaos Genesis Energy.

Of these three Chaos Spiritual Treasure, the nature of the Abyssal Depths Divine Iron and the Chaos Genesis Energy was self-evident.

The Chaos Mother Spring was the most unique. This was a rare type of Chaos Spiritual Treasure, known as the mother-source of infinite Chaos Heavy Water [water of immense density and weight, born from chaos]. A single drop possessed the weight of billions upon billions of Heavenly Wheel [a mythical, impossibly heavy object].

Such a treasure could be used in alchemy to refine pills, forged into Chaos Spiritual Artifact [artifacts imbued with the power of primordial chaos], and was also a supreme treasure for cultivating Chaos Divine Ability [divine arts that harness the power of chaos].

It was said that for those who practiced Fleshly Body Sanctification [a cultivation art focused on perfecting the physical body], refining this substance while condensing their Sole Divine Form [a unique, perfected divine body] could even enhance their latent potential by a small degree.

Surveying the treasures before him, Eldrin Chen finally handed the Chaos Mother Spring to the Obsidian Abyss Sage Ascendant. "You have already achieved the Chaos Divine Form," he said. "If you can refine this Chaos Mother Spring further, it should allow you to elevate your potential a little more."

"Doing so would increase your chances of a future breakthrough to the Path Union Supreme [the supreme realm where one's cultivated path merges with the fundamental laws of existence] by at least another ten percent."

Seeing this, the Obsidian Abyss Sage Ascendant immediately shook his head in refusal. "You should keep it," he insisted. "It would be of immense benefit to you as well."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, yet still spoke: "Given the foundation and depth of my cultivation, by the time I achieve mastery over the Nine Great God Forms [a supreme divine art that manifests nine godly avatars], the use of this item will likely be minimal."

"Moreover, concerning the matter of Second Son [the second son of the family, often a title or reference to a specific individual], you have already contributed greatly. Do not decline this time."

Seeing this, Obsidian Abyss Sage Ascendant did not refuse further and accepted the Chaos Mother Spring [a primordial spiritual spring containing the essence of chaos].

Eldrin Chen then withdrew his gaze and looked upon the Sunken Abyss Colossal Cauldron before him, stating: "The profound wonder of this Ancient Abyssal Cauldron [an ancient cauldron forged with abyssal power] lies in its ability to gather and concentrate the entire power of the Sunken Abyss Heaven [a heavenly realm of profound depths and immense pressure]."

"This is a supreme cultivation site for Fleshly Body Sanctification [the art of refining and purifying the physical body to an immortal state]. If we can enter it to cultivate, we may yet make further significant progress."
