Chapter 2062 : 5 True Spirit Forms

The Primordial God-Demon let out a mournful cry, its voice brimming with boundless despair and agony as it pleaded, "The war among the 3 clans has already ended. Why must you still take action?"

"Hmph—"

The newcomer offered no reply, instead silently channeling the Chaos Giant Hand, which instantly pressed down upon the grand formation, covering it with a web of cracks.

As the formation teetered on the verge of shattering, the Primordial Godfiend revealed boundless terror in its eyes and could only utter in despair, "Great Sanctum-Lord, save me!"

"Fellow Daoist Guixu, I beseech you to show mercy and spare this life."

At that very moment, divine hymns of the Great Dao echoed through the void.

It turned out that the commotion caused by Eldrin’s (Person Name) strike had already alerted the Demonic Saint. In the void of the heavens, a figure of unparalleled grace and beauty appeared—none other than the Ancient Azure Crow Demonic Saint.

The Primordial Azure Raven took action to block the chaotic giant hand, then spoke, "As a Dao Ancestor, it is beneath your dignity to strike against a junior—such pettiness ill befits 1 of your stature."

"Hah—"

The colossal hand of chaos continued its descent, yet a cold laugh echoed, "With the cultivation of an Imperial Lord, He relentlessly hunts down the friends and family of our Daluo lineage. Did He ever show an ounce of mercy?"

Tai Gu Qingwu's expression shifted slightly, and in an Eldrin (Person Name) he deduced the entire chain of events, immediately sensing the complexity of the situation.

Eldrin had every right to intervene. If he continued to obstruct, it would be utterly unreasonable. Yet allowing the other party to suppress the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf Clan so openly would completely undermine the prestige of the Demon Emperor's Celestial Court.

As countless thoughts raced through his mind, the Ancient Azure Crow Demi-Saint spoke, "If you can shatter my guardian barrier, the Howling Moon Skywolf Clan shall be at your mercy."

"As you wish."

Eldrin spoke calmly, and with a sweep of his sleeve, the 5 divine forms of the Great Dao merged as 1. They then fused with the 3 primordial spirit forms within his physical body, transforming into a single true form of the Great Dao that integrated into the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

In an instant, a Chaos Heaven Halberd that blotted out the skies tore through everything, crashing against the protective barrier laid down by Emperor Qingwu and utterly shattering it to pieces.

Then the colossal Chaos Hand descended, suppressing the Roaring Heaven Emperor completely. Its residual might swept across all directions, shattering the vast Howlmoon Imperial Court into countless fragments.

For a moment, celestial towers and pavilions fell like rain, and this Primordial Imperial Court that had endured for hundreds of thousands of kalpas was utterly reduced to dust.

Having completed all this, the colossal hand of chaos seized Emperor Xiaotian and vanished into the rift of chaos.

"Damn it!"

Watching Eldrin suppress the Howling Moon Emperor right before his eyes, the Ancient Azure Crow Demi-Saint’s expression darkened with intense fury.

But recalling Eldrin's invincible strength, he ultimately dared not press the attack further.

After all, if they truly fell out completely, even with the Sub-Sage Kunpeng by his side, they might not be a match for Eldrin (Person Name).

With this thought in mind, he had no choice but to depart, seething with profound hatred and boundless apprehension.

Meanwhile, Eldrin suppressed the Roaring Heaven Emperor and immediately extracted his primordial spirit, sealing it within a stone box through supreme mystical means.

After completing all this, Eldrin summoned Ye Qingfeng and handed him the stone case, saying, "You must deliver this to the Grand Abyss Ancestral Court and have it suppressed within the Grand Abyss Demon-Subduing Pagoda."

"I obey, Master."

Ye Qingfeng spoke, his eyes brimming with incomparable astonishment.

Across the boundless chaos of time and space, under the very gaze of a Demi-Saint, he forcibly suppressed a late-stage Primordial Chaos Emperor.

Such methods could truly be called earth-shattering, bordering on the indescribable. Even a Great Perfection Golden Immortal like him found it somewhat horrifying to behold.

With a mix of awe and exhilaration, Ye Qingfeng carefully stored the stone box and made his way toward the Primordial Immortal Realm.

After Ye Qingfeng had departed, Eldrin clapped his hands and spoke, "Although Brother Kael has fallen into the Chaotic Abyssal Sea, it does not necessarily mean he cannot attain a serendipitous fortune."

In his youth, he refined the power of Fire Fiend Qi (Spiritual Root), and later successively harnessed baleful aura and demonic energy for cultivation, having developed extraordinary resistance to heterogenous energies.

To this day, he had achieved the Unity of All Realms and cultivated 3 great Primordial Spirit Fruits through Buddhist, Daoist, and Demonic paths. It might not be impossible for him to resist the corrosion of the Desolate Sea to some extent.

Speaking in this manner, Eldrin remained silent for a long while before finally comforting the others, "Though the Power of Desolation is dreadful, it can be considered the most terrifying tribulation for all living beings."

“Yet tribulation often conceals opportunity. Should he comprehend the desolation, or even harness its power, he might forge the foundation of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, yet none held much hope.

Since time immemorial, only those who had reached the Half-Saint realm or higher could completely withstand the power of desolation.

How many existences at the Great Emperor realm, who were not peerless prodigies of unprecedented talent, yet once lost in the Barren Sea, would completely lose their sanity.

Kael's cultivation base was ultimately too low. Even though he could resist the power of desolation to some extent, it was still difficult for him to avoid degenerating into 1 of the Desolate Race.

Eldrin was well aware of this truth, yet he could offer not even a sliver of assistance. All he could do was cling to this final shred of hope, comforting himself with its fragile promise.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin said no more. He rose to his feet and declared, "I shall enter seclusion for some time. Matters concerning the expedition to the Great Desolate Ancient Realm shall be entrusted to your hands."

As the words faded, Eldrin returned to his cave abode, then journeyed with Lyra and his other dao companions back to the Nameless Void.

The instant he returned to the Nameless Void, Eldrin immediately began examining the myriad extraordinary treasures before him.

In the vast expanse of the nameless void, numerous rare treasures drifted in ceaseless flux. Among them floated 1 Chaos Spiritual Treasure, while Primal Chaos Treasures numbered as many as 9.

Of course, there was no need to elaborate on the Chaos Spiritual Treasure; it was the Chaos Void-Refining Vial.

And the Primordial Treasures were 9 in number: the Pearl of the Returning Abyss, the Cauldron of Creation, the Kirin Battle Armor, the Vessel of Primordial Qi, the Phoenix Feather Immortal Raiment, the Vermilion Bird Celestial Seal, the Tome of the Celestial Soul, the Tome of the Earthly Soul, and the Tome of the Mortal Soul.

In addition, there was a complete physical body at the Quasi-Sage Realm—none other than the intact mortal remains of the Quasi-Sage Vermilion Bird.

Seeing these Primordial Treasures, all the Dao Companions revealed ecstatic expressions.

Eldrin smiled faintly, then spoke: "However, among these Primordial Treasures, only the Phoenix Feather Immortal Raiment can be given to you."

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a flicker of temptation in their hearts.

Seeing this, Eldrin said bluntly, "This Phoenix Feather Immortal Garment should be given to Lyra."

"So it shall be."

The other women also had no objections, clearly all willing to entrust this treasure to Lyra (Person Name).

Eldrin handed the Phoenix Feather Immortal Garment to Lyra and said, "You need not trouble yourselves over the matter of the Primordial Supreme Treasure."

"In the future, when your cultivation reaches sufficient levels, I shall devise means to elevate them into your innate Primordial Treasures."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

她们之中，除了Lyra (Person Name)修修成真灵之宝，青姬有伴生先天至宝胚胎之外，其他人都没修成真灵之宝。

Should it aspire to ascend to a Primordial Chaos Treasure in the future, it would likely require Eldrin's assistance.

Of course, Eldrin was not without other Primordial Treasures either.

After returning to the Southern Abyss' 7 domains, Sword Xuan Emperor and the others sought to return treasures like the Great Barren Emperor Sword, the Heaven-Chaining Golden Chains, and the Azure Dragon Halberd.

After all, for a Great Emperor realm expert, the number of Innate Supreme Treasures 1 could simultaneously wield was limited.

Moreover, for such innate treasures that are not 1's life-bound artifacts, unless they are defensive treasures like the Indestructible Battle Garb, the enhancement they provide is generally not significant.

Now, the Great Emperors under Eldrin’s command all possessed their own innate Primordial Treasures. Any additional Primordial Treasures would merely be icing on the cake, at most enhancing their combat prowess by 10 percent.

Even if it were returned, the impact on them wouldn't be too significant.

However, Eldrin did not withdraw it, for aside from Lyra, no 1 else could unleash the full power of a Primordial Supreme Treasure.

Secondly, if the opportunity arose, Eldrin would still prioritize exchanging a Primordial Supreme Treasure for a Chaos Wonder to advance the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

After all, given the current strength of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), the enhancement brought by a few non-soul-bound innate treasures would not bring about any significant change.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin set aside all distracting thoughts and summoned the 3 books: the Heaven Soul, Earth Soul, and Human Soul.

"The Book of Heaven, Earth, and Man Souls is said to have been transformed from the Primordial Trinity Soul Tome."

"If merged, could it give rise to the Tri-Soul Codex of Chaos?"

Eldrin (Person Name) focused his will, then gently guided the 3 soul tomes to merge. He watched as the volumes quivered faintly, gradually coalescing into 1.

However, to Eldrin's disappointment, the fusion of the 3 tomes did not transform into the legendary Chaos Trinity Codex—either the 3 ancient scrolls had failed to merge completely, or this was not their destined form.

"Why is this happening?"

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) could not help but remark with some confusion.

Eldrin calculated silently for a moment before speaking. "The Chaos Tri-Soul Tome suffered severe damage at that time. It will require an exceedingly long period to fully restore itself."

"Alternatively, nourishing it with the essence of heaven and earth could potentially accelerate its restoration process."

As he spoke, Eldrin infused a wisp of Primordial Chaos Origin Qi into it, then sent it through the Abyssal Pearl into the Great Desolate Ancient Realm, where it would be nourished by the realm's innate primordial essence.

Sure enough, nourished by the essence of a Quasi-Primordial Domain, the Chaos 3 Souls Scripture finally began its gradual restoration.

"At this rate, the Primordial Trinity Tome should be fully restored in roughly 3 100-some kalpas."

Hearing this, everyone felt a slight sense of reassurance in their hearts.

Lyra took a deep breath, then said with a gentle smile, "If the Chaos Tri-Soul Tome fully recovers, my husband's hope of attaining divinity through primordial spirit cultivation should increase significantly."

Eldrin smiled faintly, offering no further explanation. "I must enter seclusion to cultivate the Divine Soul Manifestation," he said calmly. "Stand guard for me."

Upon hearing this, the 5 women nodded in agreement without raising any objections.

Eldrin spoke no further, directly retrieving the Kirin Battle Attire and Vermilion Bird Dual Wings before arriving at his secluded cultivation chamber.

This time, the fourth and fifth True Spirit Divine Forms Eldrin intended to cultivate corresponded to the Primordial Earth Divine Rune and the Pure Yang Divine Rune respectively.

The Source Earth Divine Rune was intended for Eldrin (Person Name) to cultivate using the Kirin Battle Attire, while the Pure Yang Divine Rune was reserved for refining the dual wings of the Vermilion Bird Quasi-Sage.

The Vermilion Bird Seal could indeed be utilized to cultivate the Pure Yang Divine Patterns. However, Eldrin intended to forge a True Spirit Form specialized in speed this time, aiming to compensate for his own lack of agility.

In such circumstances, utilizing the Vermilion Bird's dual wings would be more appropriate. After all, as the sovereign of all avian creatures, the phoenix holds supreme status, and the Vermilion Bird embodies the most noble lineage among phoenix-kind, naturally possessing extraordinary qualities.

The wings of the Vermilion Bird Demi-Saint contained the ultimate essence of velocity. Once severed, they could transform into an innate supreme treasure, possessing a speed rarely seen in this world.

With this resolve, Eldrin (Person Name) ceased all hesitation and began relentlessly refining the Vermilion Bird's dual wings, merging them into the Pure Yang Divine Patterns.

As time flowed on, for how long none could tell, the Vermilion Bird's twin wings ultimately could no longer withstand the strain and were completely devoured by Eldrin, merging into the pure yang divine patterns.

"Bzzz—"

In an instant, the Pure Yang Divine Runes continuously evolved—at times transforming into the Celestial Flames of Pure Yang, at times manifesting as Wings of Pure Yang, then materializing as the Immortal Lantern of Pure Yang, and shifting once more into the Ancient Sword of Pure Yang.

Until 1 day it fully solidified, transforming into a pair of magnificent crimson-golden wings.

True Spirit Manifestation—Wings of the Vermilion Bird.

Gazing upon the divine manifestation of the True Spirit before him, Eldrin couldn't help but murmur softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

He sensed it briefly and immediately understood the power of this True Spirit Divine Form.

Compared to the other Primal Spirit Forms, the Vermilion Bird Wings embodied a Primal Spirit Form specialized in speed and explosive power.

This True Spirit Divine Form possessed 2 effects: the first was to triple the speed of an Emperor-level cultivator.

Secondly, it could instantaneously unleash a cataclysmic blaze of pure yang flames, possessing the supreme divine power to annihilate all foes. This greatly enhanced Eldrin's physical combat prowess while temporarily boosting his speed.

It could be said that with this Vermilion Bird Divine Form, Eldrin's previous shortcomings in physical speed had been completely remedied. His explosive power and self-preservation capabilities had also been greatly enhanced.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin retracted the Vermilion Bird Wings. Instead of immediately testing the might of this divine Vermilion Bird form, he began refining the Kirin Battle Armor.

While refining his Kirin Battle Armor, Eldrin (Person Name) found himself contemplating which form to choose for this final True Spirit manifestation.

"My 4 Great True Spirit Forms—the White Tiger Ancient Sword with its unparalleled offensive might, the Black Tortoise Shield with its invincible defense, and the Life Ancient Pearl with its near-immortal vitality—have now been perfected in speed by the Vermilion Bird Wings."

"What should I do next?"

Eldrin fell into contemplation, a flicker of conflict surfacing in his heart.

The Primordial Earth Divine Pattern evolves into a True Spirit Divine Form, which typically manifests with a defensive inclination, as the earth attribute is inherently suited for defense.

Eldrin now possessed the Black Tortoise Shield and the Ancient Bead of Life, complemented by the Abyssal God Rune that absorbed all damage, making his defensive capabilities nothing short of heaven-defying.

If he were to cultivate another defensive divine form, it would lead to an overly lopsided foundation, much like the path of the Immortal Venerable of Imperishability.

Thus, while the defense would be invincible, the power would be exceptionally feeble.

While others may find it difficult to harm you, you would still struggle to subdue the most elite powerhouses.

Eldrin was not 1 to sit back and take a beating. Moreover, with his defensive divine patterns already defying the heavens, further pursuing defense would yield diminishing returns.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin resolved to cultivate the Primordial Earth Divine Pattern into a unique form of True Spirit manifestation.

"The so-called Primordial Earth is the origin of all things."

Among the 5 Element True Spirits, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise guard the 4 cardinal directions, while the Qilin alone suppresses the central realm.

"This Primordial Earth Divine Rune, when fused with the Qilin, ought to give birth to a True Spirit Form capable of commanding the 4 Symbols."

"Only through the union of the 4 directions and the center can an ultimate divine form be conceived."

Eldrin’s heart stirred ever so slightly, and he immediately began refining the Kirin Battle Armor. In the end, it transformed into the Kirin Great Seal, an artifact capable of suppressing the heavens and earth and stabilizing the 8 directions.

That was an immense ancient seal, standing tall at the center of the 4 divine forms like a qilin crouching at the heart of heaven and earth, radiating an aura that dominated all realms.

"True Spirit Manifestation—Qilin Seal."

Gazing at the ancient Qilin Seal, Eldrin spoke slowly, his eyes radiating an extraordinary aura.

He discovered that this Kirin Divine Form was truly extraordinary, as it simultaneously enhanced all attributes—physical defense, strength, vitality, speed, and explosive power.

Moreover, the amplification of each type of power was a full 50 percent.

Most crucially, the Qilin Ancient Seal appeared to be covered in Dao patterns, merging the powers of the 4 Divine Beasts' manifestations into 1, unleashing a kind of earth-shattering divine energy.

"This is..."

Boom—

Eldrin's heart jolted with alarm. Before he could even react, he sensed an anomalous transformation beginning to manifest within his body.

With a thunderous roar, the 5 great true spirit forms suddenly merged into the 5 viscera, fusing as 1 with the 5 divine beings residing within.

In an instant, the auras of the 5 Viscera Deities surged explosively, nearly stepping into the invincible domain within moments as each unleashed divine power capable of annihilating heaven and earth.

At this very moment, every deity of the 5 viscera erupted with an aura rivaling that of a Great Emperor.

The most terrifying aspect was that the powers of the 5 Great Divine Beings and the 5 True Spirit manifestations were nearly merging into 1, coalescing into a supreme and unparalleled Chaos Divine Being.

Only at the final moment, it seemed the 5 divine spirits lacked sufficient power, failing to complete their ultimate metamorphosis.

"After reaching a certain pinnacle, can the 5 divine forms and 5 true spirit forms be fused into 1, becoming a Chaos God Form?"

Eldrin murmured softly, a sudden flash of insight dawning upon him in his dazed state. In that very moment, he grasped the crucial essence of the path to attaining sainthood through physical cultivation.

Those who achieve sainthood through physical cultivation must fully master the 9 primordial spirits, ultimately merging them into a singular divine form—the most crucial step toward breaking through to become a Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

This unique divine form could rival the 4 ultimate divine forms of Chaos, the Returning Abyss, Space-Time, and Annihilation. It could be considered an alternative ultimate divine form, and in some respects, it was not the slightest bit inferior.

Only the ultimate divine form can undergo metamorphosis into a Chaos Divine Form. This is precisely why those who achieve sainthood through physical cultivation must integrate the 9 great True Spirit Divine Forms to break through to the realm of Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

After breaking through to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor realm, those who had achieved sainthood through physical cultivation had only 2 paths to advance further.

The first path involves cultivating new Chaos Godforms. Once 3 Chaos Godforms have been perfected, merging them into 1 shall allow 1 to step into the Second Realm of Chaos.

However, this path was exceptionally arduous. Each transformation represented a metamorphosis of ultimate sublimation. Since ancient times, those capable of achieving a breakthrough had been few and far between.

The second path is to cultivate a Chaos Divine Form with limitless potential. This type of Chaos Divine Form can grow almost boundlessly, ultimately advancing to the second realm of chaos, or even the third realm of chaos.

And how could 1 cultivate the Chaos God Form of limitless potential?

The most supreme method known is to cultivate any 1 of the 4 Ultimate Divine Patterns, using it as a foundation to fuse the 9 Great Divine Forms and achieve the Chaos Divine Form.

The 4 ultimate divine patterns, in theory, each possess the potential to directly lead 1 to the second realm of Chaos, with even a sliver of possibility to glimpse the third realm of Chaos.

It was precisely for this reason that whispers spread through the vast chaos: those who mastered the ultimate divine patterns held truly boundless prospects, with the potential to reach the second realm of chaos.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, within this vast primordial chaos, over half of those who achieved sainthood through physical cultivation and set foot in the Second Realm of Chaos had likely mastered the ultimate divine forms.

Chapter 1 The young man stood atop the mountain peak, gazing into the distance. The spiritual energy here was dense, swirling like mist around him. He had been cultivating for over a 100 years, yet he had only reached the third layer of the "9 Revolutions Mystic Art." In his spatial ring, he possessed 32,000 spirit stones and a dozen or so healing pills. These were all the resources he had accumulated through countless trials. Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from behind him. "Eldrin, hand over the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, and I might spare your life." Eldrin (Person Name) turned slowly, his expression calm. "You’ve been chasing me for nearly a 1000 miles. Do you truly believe you can take it?" The assailant sneered, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "Arrogance! I’ve slain 20-some cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage. You’re nothing but another ant in my path." Eldrin’s hand moved, and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) materialized in his grasp, its blade wreathed in flickering crimson flames. "Then let us see whose dao is stronger." The 2 figures clashed, spiritual energy erupting like a storm. For thousands of years, the world of cultivation had been a realm of endless strife, where the strong preyed upon the weak. Eldrin knew this better than anyone. As their powers collided, the very air seemed to tremble. Eldrin’s mind raced, recalling the countless hardships he had endured to reach this moment. 1 misstep, and his centuries of cultivation would vanish like smoke. But he had no intention of yielding. Not now, not ever.
