Chapter 2026 : Day-Extinguishing Monarch

Chapter 2,027 Even so, the Return to Ruins Seal possessing 12 grand divine chains of the Dao remained an astonishingly formidable treasure, its power comparable to that of a 7-cycle innate supreme treasure embryo.

In addition to completing the advancement of the innate supreme treasure, Eldrin also discovered 2 Soul Nurturing Divine Trees among the captured Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

These 2 spiritual roots were the Soul-Nourishing Wood and the Ancient Earth-Soul Tree.

Nurturing Soul Wood goes without saying, and the Earth Soul Ancient Tree is also a supreme treasure for cultivating the Primordial Spirit.

Eldrin harnessed the power of the Cosmic Qi Vessel to elevate both ancient trees into supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Roots, finally completing the resources required for his soul cultivation.

Even with these 2 treasures, they further accelerated the recovery speed of the 3—Emperor Lingxi and his companions.

On this day, Eldrin and the Spirit Creek Emperor completed their cultivation of the Twin Yin-Yang Path together, gradually emerging from their deep meditative state.

Gazing at the snow-robed, graceful fairy beside him, Eldrin couldn't help but sigh softly.

Compared to his 5 reserved Dao Companions, the Empress Lingxi was enchanting and proactive, yet still carried an air of innocence—truly an irresistible allure.

Eldrin nodded slightly before speaking, "I intend to seize this opportunity to bestow upon the Dragon-Turtle Emperor a Great Barren Sacred Fruit."

With such strength, while it may not rival a seventh-level Chaos Emperor, it could be considered half a step into the late-stage Chaos Emperor realm. Together, the 2 of them should be able to contend against a single seventh-level Chaos Emperor.

As for offensive power, it fell considerably short, roughly placing him at the lowest tier of the seventh level of the Primordial Chaos Emperor.

The true spirit body of Spirit Stream Emperor also achieved a breakthrough, stepping into the seventh level of the Primordial Chaos Body.

Eldrin shook his head. How could he tell her that he missed his several dao companions from the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss?

Spiritstream Emperor couldn't help feeling envious, a tinge of sourness seeping into his tone.

The Chaos God Liquid possessed boundless medicinal efficacy—a single drop was equivalent to 10 Chaos Origin Pills, and 3 drops could rival the potency of 30 such pills.

After the 3 emerged from seclusion, their cultivation bases had greatly improved. The Eldrin Emperor of the Azure Dragon-Turtle directly broke through to the 7th level of the Primordial Chaos Emperor, increasing his combat prowess by over severalfold.

As for the Sword Profound Primordial Emperor, Eldrin contemplated for a long while before ultimately bestowing upon him 3 drops of Chaos Divine Liquid.

If the opponent were instead a top-tier Chaos Primordium Emperor at the seventh level like the Eternal Desolate Emperor, defeat and death would likely be the only path left to tread.

After this breakthrough, the defensive power of the Dragon-Turtle Ancient Emperor had improved dramatically, now comparable to that of most Eighth-Level Chaos Unity Emperors. It was sufficient to withstand the majority of attacks from Eighth-Level Chaos Unity Emperors.

Eldrin (Person Name) drew a sharp breath and instinctively pressed down on its head.

Cultivator Xuanhuang the Sword Emperor had already been at the peak of the fifth layer of the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm for many years. After obtaining 3 drops of Chaos Divine Liquid, he immediately entered seclusion.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, the current Sword Profound Emperor and Lingxi Emperor could likely take on 10 ordinary Hexad Realm Chaos Origin Emperors each in combat.

As for the Sword Mystic Emperor, he had only cultivated the 3 True Spiritual Root foundations—the Great Dao, the Primordial Spirit, and the Divine Abilities—never venturing into the path of physical sanctification.

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly before speaking, "After all, the Day Extinction Emperor is at the late-stage of the Primordial Chaos Realm. Even if we can defeat him, we may not be able to ensure his complete containment."

Even so, after this breakthrough, Empress Lingxi's strength had increased considerably. With her physical cultivation advancing, the spiritual power her body could contain had doubled, boosting her combat prowess by approximately 80 percent....

As for Sword Xuan Emperor, he had broken through to the sixth level of Primordial Chaos Emperor, with his magical power surging by approximately double and his combat prowess experiencing a tremendous boost.

The price of bestowing a Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit upon the Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor was that his term of service increased by another 10 1000 kalpas.

Spiritbrook Emperor's eyes lit up as she threw herself into his embrace. "Even if it were not a great battle, but... this humble consort would still give her all."

For those who have attained the Sixfold Realm of Primordial Chaos Emperor through physical sanctification, it further guarantees an inevitable breakthrough to the Seventhfold Realm of Primordial Chaos Emperor.

"Your meaning is...?" Emperor Lingxi spoke, a flicker of movement passing through his gaze.

"Since you have all recovered, we shall prepare to make our move."

However, Empress Lingxi was quite astute and quickly surmised the situation, promptly changing the subject: "It is all thanks to the immortal medicine you bestowed, my lord, that my primordial spirit has fully recovered."

The Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit was exceptionally precious. It could assist those who had achieved sainthood through physical cultivation at the Eighth Level of Chaos Emperor Realm by increasing their chances of breaking through to the Great Perfection of Chaos Emperor Realm by 10 percent.

Alas, among the current 3 Great Emperors, Eldrin(Person Name) primarily follows the Path of Palm Dao. Although he has also achieved a True Spirit Body, it was merely cultivated as a secondary pursuit.

Yet even within the Seventh Heaven of Primordial Unity, disparities existed. They could only contend against those at the Seventh Heaven of Primordial Unity who possessed a single True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), such as the Solar Annihilation Desolate Emperor and the Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor.

Your Majesty.

"Hiss—"

"I presume Fellow Daoist Dragon Turtle and Sword Sovereign Emperor's souls have also largely recovered. Might I inquire when you intend to make your move?"

Understanding the jealousy in Spirit Creek Emperor’s demeanor, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but chuckle and say, “Granting you a single Great Wilderness Holy Fruit (Spiritual Fruit) would hardly be an issue.”

However, her primary cultivation path was the Great Dao of True Spirit, while the True Spirit Body was merely a supplementary path she pursued. As she had not cultivated any bloodline divine abilities, she was unable to unleash the full power of her physical form.

"That was letting him off far too easily."

Approximately 1 kalpa later, the 3 Great Emperors emerged from seclusion 1 after another.

Therefore, presenting the Great Barren Sacred Fruit to the Dragon-Turtle Barren Emperor to help him break through to the seventh level of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Realm is currently the most advantageous course of action.

Spirit Creek Emperor noticed the strange expression on his face and gently inquired.

On this day, after the 3 had consolidated their cultivation bases, Eldrin immediately summoned the 3 Great Emperors.

Several days later, Eldrin bestowed upon Spiritstream Emperor and Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor a Great Desolate Sacred Fruit each, then had them enter seclusion to break through their cultivation realms.

"Just remember, when the great battle commences, you must give it your all."

"In my opinion, we must employ additional measures."

On this day, within the Great Wilderness Holy Palace, Eldrin (Person Name) slowly began to speak.

The 3 Great Emperors nodded gravely upon hearing this, yet a flicker of confidence surfaced in their eyes.

The 3 of them, their strength having surged dramatically, were in dire need of a sufficiently formidable opponent to test the limits of their newfound abilities.

And the Day Extinction Emperor, who had fallen into desolation, was the perfect opponent to witness their methods.

"Let us depart."

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) immediately spoke with a light laugh.

As his words fell, he took the lead, guiding the 3 of them into the Chaotic Desolate Sea until they arrived beyond the Myriad Star Archipelago.

Gazing upon the 10-1000 Star Islands before him, a faint glimmer flickered in Eldrin's eyes as he spoke, "The troublesome Chaos Primordial Emperors have all been purged by my hand."

"Later, you shall strike first. Do your utmost to severely wound or even trap it. I will seize the opportunity to activate the Primordial Chaos Bell (Supreme Treasure) and completely suppress it."

"Remember, this battle requires only that we subdue him. Once we bring him back to the Great Barren Ancient Realm, he will no longer be a concern."

The 3 of them nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

As the Great Desolate Ancient Realm continued to recover, the power of the Heavenly Dao's authority had ascended to the domain of a supreme Great Emperor.

Bringing the Day Extinction Emperor Lord back to the Great Desolate Ancient Realm, Eldrin (Person Name) would need little effort to subdue and enlighten him.

After finalizing their battle strategy, the Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor was the first to strike. Transforming into a primordial dragon-turtle that blotted out the sky, he roared across the heavens and charged toward Lord Annihilation of Daybreak.

"Bzzz—"

Witnessing the approach of the Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor, the vast Myriad Star Archipelago shuddered violently.

In an instant, an eternal starlight emerged, drifting like a dim celestial sun above the vast and boundless archipelago.

There stood a figure clad in imperial robes of peerless majesty, with rings of shadowy starlight shimmering like halos behind its head.

That stellar divine halo resembled a ring of stars illuminating all heavens, emanating an eternal radiance of perpetual twilight. It pierced through layer upon layer of the chaotic primordial sea, casting such brilliant illumination upon the vast Myriad Stars Ocean that it appeared as bright as day.

Lord of Perpetual Extinction

The Dragon-Turtle Ancient Emperor spoke slowly, his divine might sweeping across the 8 directions as he descended like a primordial divine mountain to suppress the past.

"Hmph—"

As the Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor charged forth, a flicker of killing intent surfaced in the pupils of the Annihilation Diurnal Sovereign.

Yet he stood perfectly still on the spot. With a mere flick of his sleeve, a gloom-shrouded celestial disc unfurled—a flickering wheel of creation and dissolution that descended like an ancient primordial sun. It struck the Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor with crushing force, sending him hurtling backward through the air.

The Ashen Dragon Emperor crawled out of the desolate sea, covered in dust and grime, his face etched with astonishment as he gazed toward the Dusk Annihilation Emperor. A flicker of disbelief seemed to surface in his eyes.

"It seems that even among those at the late-stage Emperor realm, disparities still exist between individuals!"

Eldrin spoke slowly, a glimmer of comprehension dawning in his expression.

From the initial confrontation, it appeared that the Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor had only recently reached the late-stage of the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm, seemingly falling somewhat short compared to the Annihilation Emperor.

Fortunately, the Dragon-Turtle Ancient Emperor possessed a matchless physical body. Though he was at a disadvantage during the exchange of blows, he sustained no injuries.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin glanced at the 2 companions beside him and remarked, "The Dragon-Turtle excels not in assault. Should we engage in combat, I fear we may struggle to gain the upper hand."

"You 2, join forces and force the means of Emperor Sundowner into the open."

"Very well."

Sovereign Lingxi struck in an instant. With a flick of his sleeve, a silk ribbon descended, swirling through the chaos like a manifestation of the radiant Milky Way.

This Primordial Chaos Treasure Embryo was actually a piece of silk forged from the 9 Heavens Star River.

At this moment, the Star River Silk Scroll descended, seeking to completely subdue Lord Zhumie.

"Overestimating your own capabilities."

Lord Zhemie’s thoughts stirred, and in that instant, an exquisite immortal umbrella soared above his head, swiftly intercepting the innate treasure of Spiritstream Empress.

Yet at that very moment, Sword Profound Emperor seized the opportunity to strike. A 100 million torrents of sword qi came roaring down, nearly submerging Dusk Extinction Emperor completely.

"Hmm?"

An invisible voice resonated, and in that instant, the light of heaven and earth abruptly vanished.

In an instant, Lord Diem Noctis vanished from his original position, reappearing in the distant void beyond.

"What an exquisite escape technique."

Eldrin (Person Name) felt a stirring in his heart, yet suppressed the urge to act.

He discovered that the Day Extinction Emperor's Great Dao of Day Extinction and divine abilities were astonishingly formidable. When the daylight shone upon all things, the Emperor's power would be tremendously enhanced....

And when the daylight faded, He could instantly teleport to any place bathed in light.

"In other words, wherever the Umbral Daylight shines, he can teleport infinitely."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a trace of solemnity rising within him.

Such a formidable divine ability—even if Eldrin were to activate the Abyssal Pearl, it would be nearly impossible to seize an opportunity to suppress it.

Eldrin rose to his feet and surveyed the surroundings, discovering to his astonishment that the radiance of the Day-Extinguishing Emperor Lord illuminated the entire 10-1000 Star Archipelago.

"Hold on a little longer. I refuse to believe this escape technique has no weaknesses."

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, he signaled the 3 to press on with their assault.

In an instant, the 3 unleashed their full power, commanding myriad divine abilities to engage in an earth-shattering confrontation against Lord Zhuanmie.

Yet in the midst of their relentless clashes, Eldrin discovered that Emperor of Perishing Day’s methods were exceedingly troublesome. By harnessing the oscillation between daylight and darkness, he could continuously evade their assaults, making it nearly impossible for the 3 of them to coordinate a combined strike.

Though the Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor was the most formidable, he could scarcely seize an opportunity to confront it head-on.

Meanwhile, Monarch Lingxi and Monarch Jianxuan, being of lower cultivation realms, became the primary targets of Emperor Zhumie’s relentless assaults. In the blink of an eye, they were forced into an utterly disadvantageous position.

Had it not been for the recent breakthroughs in their cultivation, the 2 would likely have already been defeated under the assault of the Day-Extinguishing Desolate Emperor.

The Path of Annihilated Day resembles the Path of Day and Night, being 1 of the branches of the Path of Time, yet it pales in comparison to the Path of Day and Night of the Candle Dragon Celestial Emperor.

Where daylight illuminates the heavens, those who cultivate this supreme path exist wherever its radiance touches. Yet being unable to master the Dao of Solar Brilliance, he instead attained the power of Solar Extinction.

The Path of Solar Extinction—it was an instantaneous surge of solar radiance, existing between brilliance and shadow, capable of unleashing ultimate power in a fleeting moment.

"He escaped by means of Daylight Evasion, capable of being everywhere between the brilliance and extinguishment of daylight. Yet even such a Great Dao has its limitations."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his eyes blazing with intensity. "Those who have mastered the Path of Solar Extinction possess ultimate explosive power, yet such force exists for but a fleeting moment."

He could not sustain the Radiance of Daylight, and the moment it faded into extinction was also when he was at his most vulnerable.

"So be it!"

Eldrin’s thoughts flickered like lightning, and then he declared resolutely, “Then I shall utterly devour this power of yours—the luminous radiance that illuminates all heavens.”

In an instant, Eldrin harnessed the power of the Abyssal Pearl, using its boundless energy to seal the heavens and the earth.

Then, the Abyssal Pearl soared into the sky and erupted with a devouring force that swallowed all the boundless gloom between heaven and earth.

The Abyssal Pearl was akin to a black hole, from which even light could not escape—naturally, this momentary burst of Netherdark Annihilation Light was no exception.

In an instant, the vast Myriad Starry Sea plunged into darkness, and the Day-Extinguishing Desolate Emperor also lost the empowerment of his Daylight Radiance.

"Impossible!"

The Emperor of Eternal Night’s Annihilation wore an expression of utter disbelief, his primal, beast-like consciousness plunging into a state of extreme chaos.

Seizing the opportunity, the Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor instantly struck, sending the Day-Extinction Desolate Emperor flying through the air, coughing up blood.

Before the Day-Extinguishing Desolate Emperor could flee, Sword Xuan Emperor decisively struck, summoning the boundless Great Dao of Swords to seal his escape.

Stripped of the Gloom-Light Dawn's empowerment, the Daybreaker Desolate Emperor's power plummeted drastically. For a moment, he was beaten into continuous retreat, unable to steady his footing.

Seizing the opportunity, Emperor Lingxi swiftly activated the Star River Silk, ensnaring and temporarily trapping it within the celestial fabric.

Retrieve!

Eldrin spoke, immediately channeling the power of the Abyssal Pearl to its limits, slowly drawing the Monarch of Eternal Extinction into the treasure's core.

With all this accomplished, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The Spirit Creek Emperor’s face turned pale as he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Though we’ve guarded the starry skies together for tens of thousands of kalpas, I never expected the Dusk-Annihilation Desolate Emperor to be this formidable.”

The Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor also gave a bitter smile, sighing with emotion. "His physical body is rather frail, and his magic power isn't particularly strong even among the seventh-level Chaos Origin Emperors."

However, his authority over the Great Dao could unleash its ultimate power in an instant, while also allowing him to instantly escape by harnessing the power of Daylight Annihilation. Among the seventh-level Chaos Origin Emperor Lords, he should be considered an exceptionally formidable opponent.

Eldrin had anticipated this long ago. He spoke calmly, "Those capable of reaching the late-stage of the Chaos Origin Emperor Realm—which among them doesn't possess astonishing methods?"

"Such individuals are transcendent existences within their respective domains."

The Dragon-Turtle Desolate Emperor gave a slight nod. His nearly invincible defensive prowess and the supreme physical combat strength of the Immortal Desolate Emperor were existences exceedingly difficult to surpass within their respective domains.

At this thought, the Dragon-Turtle Ancient Emperor spoke, "We have already captured the Day-Extinction Ancient Emperor. When shall we move against the Immortal Ancient Emperor?"

"Let's not rush for now."

Eldrin shook his head. First, he stored away the Pearl of Returning Abyss, then stepped into the nest of the Daylight Extinction Sovereign.

The lair of the Day-Extinction Primordial Emperor was truly worthy of being the most central location in the 10-1000 Star Archipelago, housing treasures that could be considered unparalleled in the world.

After a thorough search, Eldrin obtained 17 strands of Primordial Genesis Qi(Primordial Qi), dozens of supreme-grade and above innate treasures, along with a supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root(Spiritual Root)—the 'Stellar Constellation Tree'.

The divine fruit borne of this Starry Sky Tree contains the power of the stars, making it a supreme treasure for cultivating the Great Dao and enhancing 1's magic power.

Eldrin possessed the Chaos Divine Liquid. For the time being, this treasure held no immediate use, yet it could still serve as foundational strength for the Great Desolate Ancient Realm.

After gathering these treasures, the group did not linger in the Myriad Star Archipelago. They traversed the Chaotic Desolate Sea and returned to the Great Desolate Ancient Realm.

After arriving in the Great Wilderness Ancient Realm, Eldrin entered the Great Wilderness Sanctuary and then released the Monarch of Daylight Extinction.

The moment he released the Twilight Vanquisher Sovereign, he attempted to summon Daylight Evasion to escape once more. Yet, under the dominion of the Heavenly Dao’s authority, his struggle was nothing but futile resistance.

Eldrin channeled authority power rivaling that of a supreme emperor, suppressing the Daybreaker Sovereign in nearly an instant. He then began activating the Tome of Human Souls to purify the desolate energy within it.

The soul of the Day-Annihilation Emperor was far too powerful, containing an immense accumulation of desolate energy. It took Eldrin a full several million years to completely purify the desolate force within the Day-Annihilation Emperor's body.

Once his soul power had been completely purified, the Emperor of Eternal Night's gaze regained its clarity.

His gaze fell upon Eldrin, a flicker of astonishment passing through his pupils before he bowed respectfully and said, "My gratitude for your guidance in this tribulation, Fellow Daoist."

"This kindness is 1 I shall surely remember."

Eldrin smiled faintly, offering no further explanation. Instead, he spoke calmly, "The reason I saved you this time is that I wish to enlist your service for a period."

The Daybreak Sovereign chuckled softly before speaking. "With your innate talent and methods, Fellow Daoist, you are undoubtedly destined to attain the realm of Great Emperor, perhaps even that of a Quasi-Sage."

"To be of service to you is no loss on my part. Coupled with the debt of saving my life, I naturally cannot refuse."

"However, there are certain matters that must be clarified in advance..."

As the words of the Day-Extinguishing Emperor fell, every demand was laid bare.

After a brief discussion, Eldrin agreed to some of Daybreak Annihilator Emperor's conditions and secured the service of this Primordial Chaos Emperor.

As agreed, Lord Zhumie would serve Eldrin for 10,000 kalpas. Whether he chose to remain in service thereafter would be his own decision.

For Eldrin (Person Name), after 10 1000 kalpas, whether the Lord of Perishing Light chose to follow him truly mattered little.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 1 The biting northern wind swept across the mountain peaks, carrying with it flurries of snow that danced in the air. Upon a towering cliff stood a young man dressed in azure robes, his gaze as deep as the ancient abyss. In his hand, he tightly clutched a faintly glowing jade slip. "1 100 years have passed..." he murmured softly, his voice barely a whisper yet carrying the weight of countless seasons. "The Heavenly Tribulation approaches." Suddenly, the sky darkened. Thick, ominous clouds gathered overhead, swirling into a massive vortex. Bolts of purple lightning snaked within the clouds, accompanied by the deafening roar of thunder that seemed to shake the very heavens. The young man's expression remained calm. With a swift motion, he produced a shimmering longsword from his spatial ring—the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure). The blade hummed with spiritual energy, its edge gleaming with a cold, sharp light. "Come!" he shouted toward the sky, his voice cutting through the howling wind like a blade. The first bolt of lightning struck—a colossal purple arc that illuminated the entire mountain range. The young man's figure blurred as he executed the 9 Revolutions Mysterious Art (Cultivation Method), his body transforming into 9 afterimages that danced through the air. "Second Layer: Phantom Steps!" he cried out, his movements becoming ethereal as he effortlessly evaded the lightning strike. Before he could catch his breath, the second bolt descended, thicker and more violent than the first. The young man's eyes narrowed. He channeled 50,000 spirit stones' worth of spiritual energy into the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), causing the blade to erupt in dazzling golden flames. "Break!" The sword aura shot upward, colliding with the lightning in a spectacular explosion of light. The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, causing nearby peaks to tremble and avalanches of snow to cascade down the mountainsides. Just as the young man thought he had overcome the trial, the clouds suddenly parted, revealing a massive eye formed entirely of lightning. It stared down at him, its gaze filled with the majestic and merciless power of heavenly might. "Heavenly Punishment Eye..." the young man whispered, his face paling for the first time. This was no ordinary Heavenly Tribulation; it was the legendary 9 Heavens Profound Tribulation, a trial that even Nascent Soul experts would struggle to survive. Without hesitation, he consumed 3 Phoenix Revival Pills (Elixir) in quick succession. The potent medicinal energy surged through his meridians, replenishing his depleted spiritual power. At the same time, he activated his newly comprehended Sword Domain (Cultivation Method). Countless sword energies materialized around him, forming an impenetrable barrier of gleaming blades. The very space within the domain seemed to solidify, the sword intent so dense it became tangible. The Heavenly Punishment Eye blinked slowly, and 9 bolts of golden lightning descended simultaneously, each containing the power to obliterate a Golden Core cultivator. The young man's eyes burned with determination. He knew this was his moment of life or death. Gathering all his strength, he unleashed his ultimate technique— "Supreme Unity Sword Art: Heaven Sundering Strike!" A sword light brighter than the sun shot toward the sky, its radiance illuminating the land for thousands of miles. The clash of energies created a massive explosion that seemed to tear the very fabric of space. When the light finally faded, the young man stood alone on the cliff, his robes tattered but his eyes shining with unprecedented brilliance. The dark clouds had dispersed, revealing clear blue skies once more. He had survived. Looking at the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) in his hand, now covered in fine cracks, he smiled faintly. "So this is the power of the Void Refinement Realm..." In the distance, several figures approached rapidly. The young man's expression shifted slightly as he sensed their auras—they were not friends, but foes. "It seems," he murmured, gripping his damaged sword tightly, "the real trials are only just beginning."
