Chapter 2033 : The Corpse of YASheng(LOONG) CangLong(LOONG)

As the Great Desolate Ancient Realm temporarily settled into peace, Eldrin devoted his mind to secluded cultivation in the years that followed.

He began to dwell year-round in the Great Desolate Ancient Realm, refining various cultivation methods while delving into profound enlightenment of the Great Dao. His goal was to advance all 3 foundational pillars to the mid-stage of Primordial Chaos Imperial Lord.

Thus time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, 10 kalpas had passed.

"Boom!"

On this day, the vast and chaotic desolate sea was shrouded by boundless thunder.

A figure akin to an ancient deity bathed amidst the roaring thunder, its aura piercing through the vast primordial chaos of the desolate sea, achieving the ultimate breakthrough in cultivation.

It is done.

Not far away, Eldrin murmured softly, watching the figure approach with a leisurely gait. A faint smile dawned in his eyes.

But lo and behold, the figure breaking through amidst the lightning tribulation bore an almost identical resemblance to himself.

The 1 who had broken through by bathing in the heavenly tribulation was none other than the reincarnated form of Eldrin.

In that year when Eldrin left the Chaotic Desolate Sea, he left his Reincarnation Body within the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss, so as to ensure the safety of his guardian family and his Dao Companion.

Now that Eldrin had perfected the Path of Self-Sacrifice, he brought his reincarnation body here for the final breakthrough.

Over the years, the Reincarnation Body continuously accumulated foundations, even re-cultivating the cultivation methods of the Sacrificial Self Path, ultimately refining its own foundation to the utmost limit, enabling it to assail the Primordial Chaos Realm.

At this moment, not only had the Reincarnation Body completed its breakthrough, but a complete Primordial Chaos Immortal Domain had also manifested within it. Its cultivation and combat prowess were now beyond compare to its former state.

"Congratulations, my husband."

Seeing this, Empress Lingxi, who stood nearby, couldn't help but chuckle. "My lord, the power of this incarnation of yours is likely no weaker than the Sixth Heaven of the Primordial Chaos Emperor."

Eldrin smiled faintly. To rival the Sixth Level of Chaos Origin Emperor immediately upon reaching the realm—this was truly worthy of the Sacrificial Dao, which possessed an entire Inner Immortal Domain.

He stored his reincarnation body away and then spoke, "Lately, I feel my accumulated foundation has reached its peak. My cultivation of the Great Dao should break through at any moment."

"I am going into seclusion to attempt a breakthrough in my Great Dao cultivation. During this time, I need you to stand guard for me."

"Very well."

Spirit Creek Emperor nodded, a faint glimmer of amusement flickering in his pupils.

Seeing this, Eldrin said no more and immediately returned to the Great Barren Ancient Realm, where he began secluded cultivation to break through the Great Dao cultivation realm.

Since breaking through to the third level of the Primordial Chaos Emperor, Eldrin's cultivation of the Great Dao had accumulated 20 kalpas.

Over these 20 kalpas, Eldrin (Person Name) had accumulated sufficient cultivation in the Great Dao, and the time had come to complete his breakthrough to the middle stage of Chaos Origin Emperor.

Logically speaking, breaking through to the Great Dao required the assistance of some precious Primordial Chaos Spirit Treasures.

Fortunately, Eldrin possessed the Chaos God’s Elixir—a treasure of such profound rarity that it was virtually omnipotent for a Chaos Emperor. Naturally, it could aid in breaking through cultivation barriers.

At this moment, Eldrin began his assault on the Great Dao cultivation. After consuming 10 drops of Chaos Divine Liquid in 1 breath, his mastery of the Great Dao began advancing by leaps and bounds.

Almost visibly to the naked eye, countless divine patterns of the Great Dao emerged around Eldrin, intertwining and coalescing into 1 new divine chain of the Great Dao after another.

Until the moment when the 5 Great Paths of Pure Yang, Profound Darkness, Primordial Earth, Chaotic Gold, and Life each manifested 3 divine chains of the Great Dao. They intertwined once more, coalescing into 3 divine chains of chaos.

"Bzzzt—"

A deafening roar erupted as Eldrin discovered 3 chaotic divine chains interweaving behind his head, radiating a supreme primordial aura capable of suppressing all realms.

"What formidable Chaos God Chains."

A faint glimmer of joy arose in Eldrin’s (Person Name) heart as he murmured to himself.

He discovered that after this breakthrough, his power derived from the Dao cultivation alone should be comparable to that of a seventh-level Chaos Origin Emperor.

Amplified by the Great Dao, the quality of his magic power had also improved significantly. From now on, he would be able to unleash approximately 50 percent of the power of an ordinary Innate Supreme Treasure.

"This breakthrough in cultivation has increased my strength by a small margin."

Eldrin withdrew his consciousness and emerged from the seclusion chamber.

Seeing this, Emperor Lingxi couldn't help but smile and say, "It seems my husband has achieved a breakthrough."

Eldrin nodded thoughtfully, his gaze contemplative as he said, "It is time we made our move against that desolate realm."

Beside them, Emperor Lingxi’s eyes flickered with a trace of solemnity upon hearing this.

She pondered briefly before speaking softly, "This humble 1 shall invite several Eldrin (Person Name) to come."

Soon after, Sword Abyss Sage, Eternal Emperor, and Celestial Sword Sage—along with other Chaos Unity Emperors—all arrived at the Great Wilderness Divine Hall.

Eldrin sat upon the highest seat, gazing down at the assembled Primal Chaos Emperors, a trace of pride welling up in his heart.

The forces under Eldrin’s command today were a far cry from what they once had been, now boasting 7 powerful Primordial Chaos Emperors.

Among them, 2 had reached the eighth level of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Realm: Sword Abyss Sage and Immortal Emperor, both of whom far surpassed ordinary late-stage Emperor Realm cultivators.

And there were also 4 individuals at the 7th Heavenly Layer of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Realm, namely: Spirit Creek Emperor (Person Name), Day Extinction Emperor (Person Name), Dragon Turtle Wild Emperor (Person Name), and Heaven Distant Sword Emperor (Person Name).

就算是最弱的剑玄帝君，修为也比得上半個混元帝君后期，实力绝对是不容小觑。

With such strength, if he were to return to the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss, he could even rival top-tier imperial clans like the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan.

At this thought, Eldrin felt a surge of confidence in his upcoming plans. He spoke directly, "I summoned you today because we are ready to strike the Canglong Barren Lands."

Canglong Barren Domain?

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present shifted subtly.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with profound wariness.

The so-called Canglong Barren Domain is the most formidable known chaotic wasteland bordering the Great Desolate Ancient Realm, and also the farthest reach accessible to its explorers.

It was an exceedingly remote distance from the Great Barren Ancient Realm—so vast that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would require tens of millions of years to traverse it, spanning dozens of Barren Journeys.

Due to the vast distance between them, the Primordial Wilderness Realm and the Azure Dragon Barren Domain had virtually no interaction.

They were able to learn the location of the Canglong Desolate Realm only because, during 1 of their sea hunting expeditions, the Great Wilderness Descendants had inadvertently glimpsed the majestic presence of the Canglong Desolate Realm.

According to the accounts of the Great Wilderness exiles, the Canglong Desolate Domain stretches across the primordial chaos like the corpse of a primordial azure dragon spanning the chaotic desolate sea. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would not dare entertain the slightest thought of approaching it.

At this thought, the Heaven-Soaring Sword Emperor spoke, "Not long ago, I personally journeyed to the Canglong Desolate Realm."

Based on the known information, it was deduced that the Canglong Wasteland was formed from the ruins of a primordial dragon's nest, which drifted near the Primordial Wilderness Domain tens of thousands of kalpas ago.

"Such a Chaotic Dragon's Nest harbors an aura at the Great Emperor realm, along with dozens of existences at the Primordial Chaos Emperor level. Their strength should not be underestimated."

A Chaos Dragon's Lair.

Upon hearing this, a trace of solemnity surfaced on everyone's faces.

The Sword Abyss Sage pondered briefly before speaking, "Even if our opponent possesses a Great Emperor, given our current strength, we should at least have the power to protect ourselves."

The Immortal Wasteland Emperor also nodded, stating plainly, "Since that is the case, let us test our strength in battle."

The others present also had no objections.

Eldrin (Person Name) watched this unfold and said directly, "In that case, we shall set out tomorrow and test the mettle of the Canglong Barren Domain."

Early the next morning, Eldrin left his Samsara Body to guard the Primordial Wilderness Domain, then led the company through the boundless chaos as they journeyed toward the Azure Dragon Barren Domain.

They journeyed across the boundless desolate sea, spending tens of thousands of years before finally arriving beyond the Canglong Desolate Domain.

"Is this the Canglong Barren Domain?"

Gazing upon the vast Desolate Dragon Wilds before him, Eldrin murmured softly, a faint crease involuntarily forming between his brows.

Before them, in the midst of the chaotic barren sea, stretched an immense Chaos Nest. Its form resembled a colossal dragon that blotted out the sky, lying across the desolate ocean.

Chaos Azure Dragon Nest?

Eldrin murmured under his breath, yet an inexplicable sense of unease lingered within him.

This Chaos Azure Dragon's lair was vast and boundless, exuding a certain aura that made 1's heart tremble with fear. It loomed like a terrifying, deceased Chaos Azure Dragon.

"Something seems amiss."

The Immortal Vast Sovereign suddenly spoke, a trace of gravity flickering in his eyes.

The Celestial Sword Emperor was taken aback for a moment before speaking, "What seems to be the issue?"

"This is no Chaos Nest." Saint Lord Jianyuan also perceived something, his face etched with profound apprehension as he declared, "This is a deceased Primordial Chaos Canglong."

His cultivation level in life had likely reached the quasi-Sage realm, yet having failed in his attempt to breach the Chaos Celestial Emperor stage, he ultimately met Dao dissipation and physical demise, leaving behind this skeletal remains of his true spirit.

"Hiss—"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in unison, their faces lighting up with a mixture of shock and delight.

A deceased Chaos Azure Dragon of the Sub-Sage Realm would undoubtedly be an utterly terrifying and perilous existence, yet within it might lie astonishing, unimaginable opportunities.

Eldrin turned his gaze once more toward the Azure Dragon’s remains, only to find them drifting within the Chaotic Desolate Sea, radiating an indescribable aura of supreme power.

Cold and forbidding, even the relentless erosion of the Chaotic Abyssal Sea day and night could not harm a single scale of the dragon corpse.

"Could such a supreme being truly fall?"

The Sword Abyss Sage Lord spoke, a trace of bitter laughter gracing his lips. "Now I understand why the Great Barren Emperor, despite possessing the Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi, dared not attempt the breakthrough into the Chaos Realm."

Eldrin, however, remained utterly composed, his expression serene as he remarked, "Ascending to the Chaos Dao offers but 2 outcomes: either succeed and soar to unparalleled heights, or fail and face utter annihilation—there exists no middle ground."

"Cowards shall never attain the Great Dao of Chaos."

The Eternal Sovereign let out a cold sneer, holding nothing but contempt for the Great Wilderness Emperor.

Eldrin did not say much more, gazing at the Azure Dragon's remains as he remarked, "After this Demi-Sage Azure Dragon fell, its fractured Great Dao of the Azure Dragon intertwined upon its bones, giving birth to numerous dragon clans."

"Let us strike together and gauge the strength of these dragon clans."

As the words faded, Eldrin was the first to strike, soaring skyward astride the Chaos Heavenly Halberd as he charged into the skeletal remains of the Azure Dragon.

"Roar—"

Almost simultaneously, a dragon's roar echoed through the air.

Eldrin looked up and saw a supreme azure dragon roaring as it soared through the skies, riding upon a dragon-shaped halberd that descended to crush him with overwhelming force.

Innate Divine Artifact, Azure Dragon Halberd?

A flicker of light passed through Eldrin's eyes as he instantly summoned the Chaos Heavenly Halberd to engage in battle.

After breaking through to the middle stage of the Primordial Chaos Emperor, Eldrin's Abyssal Seal had also advanced, giving birth to 30-6 Great Dao Divine Chains.

Even without coalescing into a divine form of the Great Dao, its power was already nearly on par with that of a Primordial Chaos Treasure.

At this moment, as Eldrin unleashed his full power to engage in fierce combat with the supreme Azure Dragon, he was instantly sent flying backward by a devastating blow.

This was a Great Emperor realm Desolate clansman.

Eldrin (Person Name) felt a shock in his heart and immediately mustered all his strength to defend himself with the Armor of Indestructibility (Magic Treasure).

Meanwhile, Sword Abyss Sage seized the opportunity, channeling his power into the Ancient Abyssal Sword to strike down with overwhelming force. Yet, above the Azure Dragon’s head, a luminous pearl hovered, radiating countless rays of cyan light that instantly deflected Sword Abyss Sage’s full-powered blow.

Innate Supreme Treasure, Azure Dragon Pearl.

"He actually commands 2 Primordial Treasures."

The Immortal Desolate Emperor’s heart quaked. He swiftly maneuvered the Emperor Spear of Immortality to meet the assault, joining forces with the other 2 to engage the Primordial Azure Dragon in a fierce battle.

Eldrin joined forces with 2 others and battled the Azure Dragon for over 3 1000 exchanges, roughly deducing the origins of this Primordial Chaos Azure Dragon.

It turned out that this Primordial Azure Dragon was truly worthy of being a fusion of the fragmented primordial spirit and incomplete Great Dao of the Half-Sage Canglong—it could be considered an offspring of that Half-Sage Azure Dragon.

He had mastered 2 of the Sub-Saint Canglong's Primordial Treasures, making his combat prowess formidable even among Great Emperors—capable of facing 2 opponents alone within the same realm.

Fortunately, these 2 treasures were not his life-bound artifacts. Otherwise, with their power, he could likely have faced 3 ordinary Great Emperors alone and ascended as a top-tier Great Emperor.

Even so, the Azure Dragon Emperor, wielding 2 innate supreme treasures, remained immensely powerful, practically suppressing all 3 opponents single-handedly.

"A bit troublesome."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, decisively summoning the Book of Human Souls, intending to use this treasure to subdue the Primordial Azure Dragon.

Yet the Primordial Azure Dragon possessed extraordinary power. Even when confronted with the endless golden runes of the Book of Human Souls, its combat strength was merely diminished by 10 to 20 percent, still far from decisive enough to sway the battle.

"Alas, my spiritual power is insufficient to unleash more than 50 percent of the Soul Tome's true might."

Eldrin's expression darkened slightly as he swiftly restrained the Eternal Desolate Emperor, who was about to unleash a forbidden divine ability. "I'm afraid we cannot subdue him," he said in a low voice. "Let us retreat for now."

Hearing this, the group swiftly disengaged from the battlefield and fled back to the Great Barren Ancient Realm alongside Eldrin (Person Name).

Returning to the Great Wilderness Sanctum, everyone’s expressions darkened once more.

Celestial Sword Emperor Tianyao could not help but sigh and say, "The Azure Dragon Emperor’s power is immense. Unless a Quasi-Sage takes action personally, it will be exceedingly difficult for any of us to subdue him."

Eldrin also furrowed his brow, a trace of solemnity flickering in his gaze.

A Green Dragon at the Great Emperor realm, who also wielded at least 2 Innate Supreme Treasures—such combat prowess already approached that of a top-tier Great Emperor. Even an Invincible Great Emperor would likely find it difficult to subdue him.

After all, an Emperor was no lifeless object. Should he perceive the situation turning dire and attempt to flee, or worse, harness the Dao Charm within the Sub-Sage’s remains to defend himself, it would undoubtedly become a monumental headache.

However, whether it was the remains of a Demi-Sage or the 2 Primordial Treasures, both were treasures that Eldrin (Person Name) deeply coveted. Unless absolutely necessary, they would never give them up.

Seeing this, the Immortal Desolate Emperor also spoke up: "A complete corpse of a Quasi-Saint—if 1 could obtain it, it would likely create at least 2 or 3 Great Emperors."

"But given our strength, I fear we are far from adequate."

The Sword Abyss Sage spoke, yet a trace of reluctance was visible on his face.

He had a feeling that his chance to break through to the Great Emperor realm might lie within that Demi-Saint Dragon Corpse. To abandon it now would be truly regrettable.

Eldrin pondered briefly before speaking, "To subdue the Azure Dragon Emperor, 1 would require combat prowess capable of completely overwhelming him, coupled with a formidable trapping formation to stand a chance."

"With our current strength, we are far from sufficient."

"Therefore, our immediate priority is to continuously enhance our own strength."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered with a subtle shift.

The Eternal Barren Emperor pondered briefly before inquiring, "How does 1 enhance their cultivation?"

"Venture deep into the Chaotic Barren Sea to seek various resources and enhance our strength to the utmost."

Eldrin spoke in a measured, unhurried tone before declaring, “With the Soul Tome’s guidance, you are more than capable of joining me in traversing the Chaotic Desolate Sea.”

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, then nodded 1 after another.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) spoke up, "Daoist Immortal may stay. The rest of you, go and make preparations."

"Yes..."

Hearing this, everyone cupped their hands in salute before departing.

After the crowd had dispersed, Eldrin looked at the Immortal Desolate Emperor and said, "Years ago, I made you a promise: if you would follow me with sincere devotion, I would aid you in cultivating your Innate Primordial Treasure."

The Immortal Vast Emperor’s heart stirred, and he instinctively turned his gaze toward Eldrin.

Eldrin waved his sleeve, and 2 dazzling strands of Primordial Chaos Origin Qi materialized in his palm. Gazing at the Immortal Vast Emperor, he declared, "This is the Primordial Chaos Origin Qi—a heaven-defying opportunity born at the dawn of creation."

"In my ventures through the Chaotic Desolate Sea, I was fortunate enough to discover a secret realm left behind since the Primordial Dawn of Creation, where I obtained a small amount of such a supreme treasure."

"Today, I bestow upon you 2 Dao principles to aid you in cultivating your Lifebound Emperor Spear. I hope you will not disappoint me."

The Immortal Vast Sovereign was inwardly shaken, and he immediately bowed in salute. "Such a rare opportunity, I shall surely bear it in mind."

"I certainly hope so."

Eldrin spoke thus as he handed the Primordial Chaos Origin Qi to the Immortal Desolate Emperor.

The Immortal Desolate Emperor did not dare to delay. After obtaining the Primordial Chaos Origin Qi, he immediately fused it into his Immortal Emperor Spear.

This Primordial Purple Qi truly lived up to its reputation as a heaven-defying primordial treasure. The moment Immortal Vast Emperor refined it, he discovered infinite divine patterns of the Great Dao converging within the Immortal Emperor Spear, as 2 divine chains of the Great Dao gradually took form.

Boom—

The Eternal Sovereign Spear, originally a 7-veined Primordial Chaos Treasure embryo, now blossomed into a supreme Primordial Chaos Treasure as the divine forms of 2 Great Daos took shape within it.

In an instant, the chaotic firmament split apart, and countless divine spirit patterns converged and descended, coalescing within the Immortal Desolate Emperor to give birth to the fourth divine spirit pattern—'Extreme Velocity'.

Among the 3 true spirit divine patterns of the Immortal Wasteland Emperor, 3 aspects were contained: Power Extreme, Immortality, and Ultimate Ascension.

These 3 divine spirit runes, embodying the powers of offense, defense, and explosive force, had now been joined by the fourth: 'Extreme Velocity'. With this, he had finally filled the gap in his own speed.

It could be said that after this breakthrough, the physical combat prowess of the Immortal Desolate Emperor had reached a truly earth-shattering level, enabling him to hold his own against 4 Eighth-Level Primordial Chaos Emperors simultaneously.

Not only that, but the advancement of the Immortal Desolate Emperor's Immortal Emperor Spear into an Innate Supreme Treasure had also greatly enhanced his overall combat prowess.

The present Immortal Desolate Emperor, though not yet having set foot in the Great Emperor Realm, possessed combat prowess that could be considered genuine Great Emperor-level—even slightly surpassing the Sword Abyss Sage Lord by half a measure.

If he had unleashed forbidden divine abilities, the Immortal Desolate Emperor might have already stepped into the realm of the mighty Great Emperor.

How about it?

When the Immortal Desolate Emperor made his breakthrough, Eldrin could not help but ask with a smile.
