Chapter 2047 : 4 Primordial Treasures
Overall, the Great Barren Ancient Realm held an absolute advantage in this battle, for it possessed not only the Sword Abyss and Immortal Venerables, but also the Trinity and 4 Symbols—2 additional Emperor-level combat forces.
Not to mention, Eldrin had also left behind 5 Emperor-level soul slaves to assist in the battle.
At this moment, 2 of the 6 Great Emperors had sensed impending danger and executed astonishing techniques to escape the Primordial Wilderness Realm.
The remaining 4, whose escape skills were somewhat lacking, found themselves temporarily trapped by the others. Desperately, they fought their way toward the outskirts of the Great Desolate Ancient Realm.
Witnessing this, Eldrin acted decisively. With a mere turn of his palm, he successively suppressed the remaining 4 Great Emperors, bringing an end to this protracted war.
Having suppressed the 4 Great Emperors, the remaining 20-some Chaos Origin Emperors posed no significant threat and were swiftly subdued 1 by 1 by the assembly.
Thus, this battle finally came to a complete end.
"We won."
Witnessing the 2 Demi-Sages flee in defeat and the 4 Great Emperors utterly suppressed, everyone’s faces lit up with astonishment and delight.
They swiftly fought their way out of the Great Desolate Ancient Realm and seized control of the formation laid by the 2 Quasi-Sages.
Eldrin had originally hoped to seize another Sage Ancient Vessel, but unfortunately, the Emperor Ancient Vessel outside had already departed along with the 2 Great Sages.
Once the situation was fully under control and the battlefield thoroughly cleared, Eldrin led everyone back to the Great Wilderness Sanctum.
At this moment, within the Great Wilderness Holy Palace, Eldrin gazed upon the assembled Imperial Lords before him and spoke with a faint smile, "Honored ones, your efforts in securing victory for this battle have been truly commendable."
"You flatter me. This victory was wholly secured by the Realm Lord's decisive command."
Everyone present smiled faintly. The Dragon-Turtle Emperor immediately declared with solemn reverence, "Your Excellency's divine might shakes the heavens. With a mere flick of your finger, you subdued the Great Wilderness Emperor—capturing 2 mere Quasi-Sages would naturally be effortless."
"If those 2 old fools hadn't run so fast, they'd have long become prisoners in chains."
"In my opinion, not to mention a mere 2 quasi-sages, even if the Heavenly Emperor himself were to come, he would have to..."
"Alright, alright."
Eldrin hastily interrupted the Dragon-Turtle Emperor, saying helplessly, "The majesty of a Saint Realm expert must not be insulted. Even a Quasi-Saint is 1 who commands the Dao."
"If not for borrowing the authority of the Heavenly Dao in the Great Barren Ancient Realm, I fear even I would struggle to suppress them."
Hearing this, the Sword Abyss Sage and the Eternal Emperor exchanged a glance, a flicker of astonishment flashing in both their eyes.
They discerned the meaning behind Eldrin's words—if he found it difficult to suppress 2 Half-Sages, did that not imply he possessed at least the capability to contend with a Half-Sage, even without the empowerment of Heavenly Authority?
A flicker of astonishment flashed in their eyes, their hearts equally shaken by profound disbelief.
"Yet with only 7 layers of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Sutra, he could contend against a Quasi-Saint."
"It appears our monarch's talent and aptitude far surpass what we had ever imagined."
The 2 exchanged thoughts through their gazes, their eyes growing increasingly astonished.
At that very moment, Spiritstream Emperor handed a list to Eldrin and spoke with a gentle smile, "These are the spoils from this battle. Please take a look, Your Excellency."
Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod as he took the list. A flicker of relief settled in his heart after a single glance.
In this battle, they suppressed several dozen Chaos Emperor Lords, including 4 experts at the Great Emperor realm. The treasures seized were naturally astonishing beyond measure.
Among them, there were over 3 100 strands of Primordial Beginning Qi alone, along with several 100 Primordial Treasure Embryos and divine materials that could be used to advance them into Primordial Treasures.
These rare immortal golds and divine materials could all be used to advance to the level of Innate Supreme Treasures.
As is widely known, starting from the 1-Rune Innate Treasure Embryo, each subsequent advancement of an Innate Treasure Embryo carries a success rate of merely 30 to 50 percent.
Once the attempt fails, the Primordial Chaos Treasure Embryo will be destroyed, yet during the advancement process, 1 may incorporate some rare divine artifacts.
Alternatively, by employing a sophisticated Chaos Spiritual Treasure, 1 could ensure that the Primordial Chaos Treasure Embryo does not suffer complete destruction.
For instance, the 'Artifact Refining Divine Liquid' produced by the Chi Yang Primordial Realm could also ensure that the Primordial Chaos Treasure Embryo would not be destroyed.
又比如完全形态的乾坤造化鼎，就能够保证晋升失败的先天至宝胚胎不仅不会毁掉，甚至还能立即修复晋升失败的先天至宝胚胎。
Compared to complete destruction, a damaged Primordial Chaos Treasure Embryo held the possibility of restoration.
When the time comes, refining some divine artifacts with compatible attributes and nurturing them for dozens or even hundreds of kalpas will allow the damaged Primordial Chaos Treasure embryo to be restored. Once repaired, it can continue to advance further.
Essentially, all Primordial Chaos Treasures (Supreme Treasure) embryos with 7 or more spirit patterns have undergone damage and restoration at least several times.
In the past, when the Black Abyss Emperor elevated his life-bound treasure, the Black Abyss Imperial Spear, he relied on vast quantities of Primordial Chaos Divine Gold and also purchased a considerable amount of Divine Artifact Refining Liquid. The spear was damaged and restored 9 times before it ultimately achieved its complete ascension.
In truth, it was truly remarkable fortune for Emperor Heiyuan to have successfully elevated the Black Abyss Imperial Spear into an Innate Supreme Treasure after only 9 instances of damage.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, while these several 100 materials might not guarantee a direct ascension to an Innate Supreme Treasure Embryo, producing a few 7-veined Innate Supreme Treasure Embryos should be well within reach.
"These divine artifacts are quite decent. They should help conserve some of the Primordial Chaos Origin Qi."
"And this primordial qi can also make up for the deficiency of the primordial qi in my possession."
Eldrin's thoughts drifted for a moment before his gaze fell upon the remaining treasures.
Compared to these Chaos-grade immortal metals and divine materials, what truly stirred Eldrin's heart were the captured Primordial Treasures.
In this suppression of the 4 great emperors, Eldrin seized a full 3 Primordial Treasures. Combined with the Great Barren Emperor Sword from the Great Barren Emperor, he obtained a total of 4 Primordial Treasures.
These 4 Primordial Chaos Treasures were the Great Wilderness Emperor Sword, the Crimson Emperor Battle Attire, the Heaven-Slaying War Blade, and the Golden Chains of Heaven Sealing.
Among the 4 Primordial Chaos Treasures, the Great Wilderness Emperor's Sword, having been refined by the Great Wilderness Emperor for many years, stands as the most formidable of the 4 Imperial Arms. It is acclaimed as the Primordial Chaos Treasure with the greatest destructive power.
The Scarlet Emperor's Battle Attire possessed extraordinary defensive capabilities, and could even manifest the divine form of 'Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root)' to merge with a powerhouse's body, enhancing the Great Emperor's ultimate combat prowess. It originated from a supreme Great Emperor known as 'Refining Heaven Scarlet Emperor'.
The God-Slaying Warblade was peerless in slaughter, while the Heaven-Binding Golden Chains possessed incomparable sturdiness, capable of piercing through a Great Emperor’s physical form. Once ensnared, even a Great Emperor would find it nearly impossible to break free.
"4 innate supreme treasures, each 1 extraordinary, yet unfortunately useless to me."
Eldrin shook his head. Though the Great Barren Emperor's Sword and the Heaven-Slaying War Blade possessed peerless lethality, he held the Abyssal Return Seal in his grasp.
The Seal of Returning Abyss could manifest myriad divine weapons. Though its current power might not surpass these 2 supreme treasures, it was at least not the slightest bit inferior—and more importantly, it suited Eldrin far better.
As for the Crimson Emperor's Battle Attire and the Heaven-Chaining Golden Chains, they offered only marginal assistance to Eldrin, serving as little more than embellishments to his existing capabilities.
At this thought, Eldrin decided to entrust these Primordial Treasures to the group, hoping to bolster the combat strength of the Great Barren Ancient Realm.
After settling on a plan, Eldrin retrieved the 4 treasures 1 by 1, then turned his gaze to the Immortal Emperor and said, "Immortal Emperor."
"At your command!"
The Immortal Sovereign cupped his hands and replied. This was the first time he had referred to himself as a Divine General, clearly having been completely subdued by Eldrin's (Person Name) invincible combat prowess and extraordinary talent.
He had always been aloof and proud, claiming to be invincible across the lands. Even the Great Barren Emperor could not make him submit.
But now, having witnessed Eldrin (Person Name) with his seventh-level Chaos Origin Emperor cultivation unleashing invincible combat prowess to challenge a Quasi-Saint, I felt nothing but sincere admiration from the depths of my heart.
"There is no need for such formality."
Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly, then retrieved the Crimson Emperor Battle Attire and handed it to him. "Your talent is extraordinary," he said. "Your physical combat prowess is rare across all ages, and when pushed to its ultimate sublimation, you could even challenge an invincible Great Emperor."
"Today, I bestow upon you the Red Emperor's Battle Attire, hoping it will add wings to a tiger, enabling you to sweep away all enemies for our Great Barren Ancient Realm."
"Your command shall be obeyed!"
The Eternal Sovereign spoke, his expression exceedingly solemn as he took the Crimson Emperor’s Battle Attire.
Witnessing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. The foundation of Immortal Emperor was already incomparably formidable to begin with. If further augmented by the Crimson Emperor's Battle Attire, his combat prowess would likely barely step into the realm of top-tier emperors.
Moreover, with his ultimate sublimation, the most explosive peak state of the Immortal Emperor would likely be considered formidable even within the realm of Invincible Emperors.
Eldrin smiled faintly and retrieved the Chains of Heavenly Binding once more, handing it to the Celestial Slaughter Emperor, foremost among the Trinity Sovereigns.
"This Lockheaven Golden Chain is a supreme treasure for subduing foes. I entrust it to the collective stewardship of you 3 Talisman Emperors. Do not disappoint me."
Upon hearing this, the 3 Great Emperors immediately revealed expressions of ecstatic joy.
The 3 Talents, 4 Symbols, and 7 Great Imperial Sovereigns had long forged a bond as 7 sworn siblings. Among them, the 3 Talents Imperial Sovereign had always remained the eldest brother, his combat prowess surpassing the others by a notable margin.
Yet ever since following Eldrin, the 4 Symbols Heavenly Lord had wielded the innate supreme treasure Azure Dragon Halberd for many years, his combat prowess long since rivaling that of a mighty Great Emperor—a fact that filled his 3 elder brothers with unceasing envy.
Now that the 3 of them possessed the Chains of the Heavens (Magic Treasure), their strength was bound to increase dramatically, and they gained more confidence in their roles as elder brothers.
Seeing this, Eldrin spoke up, "After accumulating for so many years, you are not far from the realm of the Great Emperor."
"In a few days' time, I shall open the alchemical furnace to refine a cauldron of supreme treasures."
"By then, perhaps you may attempt to challenge the Emperor Realm. I hope you will devote yourselves to diligent cultivation and make early preparations to set foot in the realm of the Great Emperor."
Upon hearing this, the 3 Talents, 4 Symbols, and 7 Great Emperor Lords immediately revealed expressions of ecstatic delight.
They immediately bowed their heads in unison, expressing their gratitude: "We thank the Master for his nurturing. We shall follow you unto death."
Eldrin smiled faintly but said nothing more, his gaze shifting toward the remaining few.
But then, they saw the Eldrin Emperor gazing at him with eager eyes, while the Sword Profundity Emperor also stared intently at the Great Barren Emperor Sword, a flicker of desire apparent in his expression.
Eldrin smiled faintly and bestowed the Great Wilderness Emperor Sword upon Sword Xuan Emperor. "You cultivate the Great Dao of the Sword," he said, "your talent rivals even that of the Immortal Emperor. There is even a glimmer of possibility for you to prove your path and become a Celestial Emperor."
"Today, I bestow upon you the Great Wilderness Emperor Sword. May you soon master the Great Dao of the Sword, so that within this vast chaos may arise a supreme Chaos Sword Emperor."
With a grave expression, Sword Sovereign Eldrin pledged at once, "Should that day ever come, I shall become the blade in Your Majesty's hand, sweeping away all who dare defy your rule."
"I await that day."
Eldrin smiled faintly, his gaze ultimately settling upon the Spiritstream Emperor.
My own Dao Companion, so there was nothing more to say. Eldrin handed the God-Slaying War Blade over to the Spirit Creek Emperor.
Thus, the combat prowess under Eldrin's command was once again elevated to a staggering new height.
Lingxi and Jianxuan had mastered the Primordial Treasures, their combat prowess instantly ascending to the Emperor Realm. With the addition of another Primordial Treasure, the 3 Talents Emperor’s strength surged dramatically.
Among the remaining late-stage Primordial Chaos Emperors, the 3 seventh-level Primordial Chaos Emperors—Dragon Tortoise (Person Name), Daybreaker (Person Name), and Sky Wanderer (Person Name)—gazed at those who had obtained Primordial Treasures (Magic Treasure), their eyes gleaming with unconcealed avarice.
Alas, they also understood their own limitations. With cultivation at only the seventh level of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Realm, even if they obtained a Connate Supreme Treasure, they would likely only be able to wield 50 percent of its power.
Thus, the 2 great emperors, Zhuan Mie and Tian Yao, suppressed the thoughts in their hearts and dared not entertain any further notions.
Only the Dragon-Turtle Emperor stared eagerly at Eldrin (Person Name), his expression carrying a hint of ingratiating warmth as he spoke.
"Your Majesty, would you also consider bestowing some favor upon this humble 1?"
"You sly fox."
Eldrin gave a helpless smile, yet still retrieved a drop of the Great Wilderness Saint Lord's essence blood and handed it to the Dragon-Turtle Emperor, saying, "Although the Great Wilderness Emperor did not pursue the path of physical sanctification, his physical body has surpassed the realm of a Great Emperor."
"This drop of 'Primordial Essence Blood' contains the true mysteries of the Great Dao. Should you fully comprehend it, attaining the Eighth Heaven of the Chaos Origin Emperor Realm in the future might well be within your grasp."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon-Turtle Sovereign immediately stored it away with utmost solemnity.
Compared to ordinary essence blood, life-bound essence blood is exceedingly rare, and life-bound essence blood at the quasi-saint level is truly priceless beyond measure.
The life essence blood of a Demi-Saint typically amounts to no more than a dozen or so drops. In fact, the Azure Dragon Emperor, born from the Demi-Saint Dragon Corpse in ancient times, was nurtured by merely 9 drops of such life essence blood.
The forehooves of the Great Wilderness Emperor contained countless drops of refined blood, yet only a single drop of lifebound essence blood was truly preserved.
The Dragon-Turtle Emperor had been at the seventh level of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Realm for many years. Yet, due to his insufficient foundational aptitude, he had only managed to cultivate a single True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), preventing him from advancing any further.
If I can refine this drop of primordial essence blood, my innate potential is certain to break through. Reaching the eighth level of the Primordial Chaos Emperor should be well within reach.
Having obtained the lifeblood essence, the Dragon-Turtle Sovereign delightedly stored it away.
Zhuo Mie and Emperor Tianyao stared with wide eyes, unable to resist cursing under their breaths: "How can this scoundrel, a revered Primordial Chaos Emperor, be so utterly shameless?"
"Shall we also ask His Majesty for some rewards?"
"I'm afraid not. His skill in flattery has reached at least the Great Emperor level, far beyond what you and I could ever achieve."
While his subordinates were conversing, Eldrin had already finished distributing the precious treasures.
He cast a glance at the assembly and spoke, "The Eternal Sovereign shall remain. The rest of you may withdraw."
Yes.
Hearing this, the crowd dispersed 1 after another.
Just as the crowd had dispersed, Eldrin looked at the Immortal Desolate Emperor and said, "With the capture of 4 great emperors this time, your True Spirit Divine Form may advance yet another step."
The Eternal Sovereign gave a slight nod upon hearing this.
The 4 Great Emperors suppressed this time were the Refining Heaven Crimson Emperor, the Heaven-Slaying War Emperor, the Heaven-Binding Emperor, and the Golden Roc Emperor.
Among these 4 Great Emperors, Refining Heaven Crimson Emperor possessed the most formidable overall combat prowess, standing as a supreme Great Emperor comparable to the Primordial Thunder Crow Emperor, and was recognized as the strongest Great Emperor within the Primal Imperial Domain.
Alas, his escape techniques proved insufficient, and being the primary target of the collective onslaught, he ultimately failed to break through the Great Desolate Ancient Realm.
Among the remaining 3 Great Emperors, the God-Slaying War Emperor possessed the most formidable killing prowess, while the Heaven-Locking Emperor excelled in entrapping enemies—both were retained precisely because they lacked proficiency in escape arts.
And the Golden Roc Emperor was the fastest Great Emperor in the Primal Domain of Imperial Zenith, making him 1 of the most likely existences to escape the Great Desolate Ancient Realm in theory.
However, this man had the misfortune of being countered by the 'Polaris Emperor', 1 of Eldrin's 5 honored soul slaves.
The Golden Roc Emperor moved with extreme speed, yet his frontal combat prowess was lacking. Without any innate supreme treasure to bolster his offensive or defensive capabilities, he found it impossible to shake off the relentless pursuit of the Aurora Emperor.
In the end, he was trapped by the joint efforts of the 4 Symbols Emperor and the Aurora Emperor, until Eldrin (Person Name) intervened to suppress him.
"Among the 4 Emperor's Legacy Shells, which 2 do you wish to refine?"
Gazing at the Eternal Emperor before him, Eldrin (Person Name) spoke in inquiry.
The Eternal Sovereign pondered briefly before speaking, "Do you not intend to cultivate the True Spirit Manifestation?"
"They are not compatible with me."
Eldrin shook his head. Though cultivating the True Spirit Divine Form as well, the treasures Eldrin required for its cultivation were of even higher demands.
At this moment, Eldrin had come to realize that cultivating a Divine Spirit Form through an Emperor's remains aligned with his own essence, along with a Primordial Treasure, would yield far greater advancements in the future.
Having also cultivated the Great Dao Divine Form, if Eldrin had not refined the White Tiger Emperor Sword that suited him, he would never have attained that ultimate sharpness.
Without refining the Black Tortoise Armor and the Life-Ancient Pearl, they would not bestow any additional elemental attributes.
It must be understood that the Immortal Emperor's Immortal Shield and Crimson Edge Spear merely augmented raw strength and defense, without granting additional sharpness or power enhancements.
Moreover, Eldrin felt that once he gathered all 5 innate treasures—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Kirin—
Having cultivated the forms of the 5 great true spirits in this manner, there should be unique synergistic effects among them.
Moreover, Eldrin’s 5 great True Spirit manifestations were originally cultivated through the 5 elements of the Great Dao, making them even more compatible with the power of the 5 True Spirits.
Thus, Eldrin held little regard for these 4 Emperor's Remnants.
With this thought in mind, Eldrin could not help but speak: "Choose 2 of them and master the True Spirit Divine Form as soon as possible."
"Very well."
The Eternal Sovereign nodded and collected the complete remains of the Crimson Emperor of Divine Refinement and the Golden Roc Sovereign.
Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) nodded slightly and said, "The Heaven Refining Great Emperor excelled in the path of explosive power. His remains are suitable for achieving the ultimate sublimation."
"Although Emperor Golden Roc's strength is somewhat lacking, his speed is truly astonishing, making him perfectly suited for your Divine Mark of Extreme Velocity."
The Eternal Sovereign offered no further words, allowing Eldrin to observe from the side as he immediately began refining the 2 complete remains of fallen emperors.
Refining the remains of a Great Emperor was no simple task. In essence, it involved plundering their divine manifestations of the Great Dao from the authority of the Dao itself and the Emperor’s primordial spirit, using the Emperor’s intact physical form as the medium.
The Immortal Sovereign first refined the Golden-Winged Great Peng's remains. Through earth-shattering supreme power and the profound mysteries of the Fleshly Body Sanctification lineage, he forcibly refined the complete corporeal form of the Golden-Winged Great Peng through gradual tempering.
Until much later, the Golden-Winged Great Peng’s skeleton was completely integrated into the body of the Immortal Emperor, causing the Extreme Speed Divine Rune to undergo a transformation.
In an instant, the divine pattern transformed into an ethereal divine form—sometimes evolving into a streak of aurora, at other times materializing as a celestial ruler that compressed vast distances into inches, and then shifting again into a divine talisman capable of shattering the void.
In the end, It gradually took form once more, transforming into a pair of golden wings.
True Spirit Form — Golden Wings of Light Pursuit.
The Eternal Sovereign murmured softly, a flicker of delight gleaming in his eyes.
