Chapter 2064 : 9 Extremes Devil Dragon

Hearing this, everyone's hearts settled on a course of action.

Without another moment's hesitation, he strode toward the heart of the Cangmang Barren Domain's forbidden grounds.

Thus, before they knew it, they arrived before the entrance to the fragmented Primordial Chaos Realm.

"Hold a moment, all of you. Allow me to employ the Chaos Origin to sever all divinations."

At that very moment, Eldrin suddenly spoke up.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, he summoned the boundless Great Dao of Chaos and shrouding mists of primordial ether, completely severing all traces of spiritual connection among them.

Seeing this, the Kirin Ancestor couldn't help but exclaim with pleasant surprise, "With such means of concealment, the likelihood of us being discovered is greatly reduced."

Eldrin smiled faintly. The Dao of Chaos could shield against all divinations, while the mists of chaos seamlessly merged with the waters of the primordial sea, thwarting any attempts of prying eyes.

The combination of the 2 allowed everyone to conceal themselves perfectly within the Chaos Desolate Sea.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin smiled and said, "Just a few minor tricks, that's all. Let's head inside quickly."

"Hmm."

The Kirin Ancestor nodded and was the first to stride leisurely into the Realm of Primordial Chaos.

Chapter 1 The moment Eldrin stepped into the Chaotic Realm, he was immediately enveloped by an overwhelming concentration of incredibly pure primordial chaos energy. A faint shock coursed through him as he murmured, "Such exquisitely refined primordial chaos qi."

Observing this, the Primordial Spirit Emperor spoke up at the opportune moment, "The Chaos Qi within the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm is not only exceptionally pure but also remarkably gentle."

"A complete Chaos Realm not only has the potential to nurture Chaos-level powerhouses, but may also give birth to Chaos Spiritual Roots."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) also gave a slight nod.

The reason the Great Abyss Immortal Sage was able to attain the Dao and become a Chaos Immortal Sage was that, while still at the Quasi-Sage realm, he had inadvertently stumbled into a Chaos Realm.

That was a mystic realm that had existed since the dawn of chaos, within which lay 2 seeds of Primordial Spirit Roots.

However, due to various reasons, neither of the 2 Chaos Spirit Roots sprouted, with 1 seed having completely lost its vitality.

The Grand Abyss Immortal refined 1 of the seeds, seizing the opportunity to reincarnate and cultivate anew. With a Chaos Spiritual Root foundation, he stepped into the realm of Chaos Immortal Ascension.

The other dead seed was bestowed upon Eldrin, who later revived it with the Primordial Purple Qi and preserved it for Qingji’s reincarnation and cultivation.

"A complete Chaos Realm holds fortunes that are truly astonishing. I wonder what this fragmented Chaos Realm might offer?"

Eldrin’s thoughts drifted restlessly. After exchanging a glance with the others, he strode deeper into the Chaotic Realm.

As they ventured deeper, they discovered this was an immensely vast chaotic realm, far larger than even a single celestial domain.

The chaotic qi in this place was of unparalleled purity, far denser than even the Chaos Desolate Sea.

Scattered stones, visible everywhere, were all Primordial Chaos Stone (Spiritual Object) of immeasurable value. Occasionally encountered divine metals and immortal alloys proved to be even rarer treasures—Mysterious Yellow Mother Copper, Myriad Tribulation Divine Iron, Immortal Marrow of Eternity, and other legendary materials seldom seen in the world.

Each of these treasures was of extraordinary value, including Great Luo rarities and even Primordial Chaos wonders, yet they still failed to stir the hearts of the few.

They did not loot these treasures, but instead strolled deeper into the Chaotic Realm, soon detecting a trace of astonishing aura.

Deep within the Chaotic Realm, several supreme figures erupted into a world-shaking battle.

Led by the Feral Dragon Quasi-Emperor, 5 Demi-Saints were besieging a colossal beast with 9 heads. The ferocious battle between them nearly overturned heaven and earth.

"Be careful."

Elder Taizhuo spoke, his expression grave as he declared, "That colossal beast with 9 heads is called the '9 Extremes Demon Dragon.' Its power has long since transcended into the realm of the Infinite Quasi-Sage."

Its 9 heads, each comparable to an ordinary Demi-Saint, were so formidable that even 3 or 4 top-tier Demi-Saints would be no match against their combined might.

The Kirin Ancestor spoke with measured grace, informing Eldrin and the Black Abyss Emperor that he and the Primeval Spirit Emperor had confronted the 9 Extremes Demon Dragon 3 times, yet remained unable to subdue the primordial chaos beast.

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly. After performing intricate calculations with his True Spirit Divination for a considerable time, he finally spoke: "This 9 Extremities Devil Dragon was originally known as the 9 Extremities Dragon Emperor—a primordial Chaos Ancestral God."

But just as he was about to emerge, this primordial chaos realm was prematurely exposed and came under assault from numerous Chaos Heavenly Emperors.

In that great battle, not only was the Chaotic Realm shattered, but the gestating Ninefold Dragon Emperor was also grievously wounded. Its very essence was tainted by demonic blood, and its consciousness was eroded by some malevolent force, ultimately corrupting into the Ninefold Demonic Dragon.

Eldrin spoke in a measured tone, his brow subtly furrowing as he did so.

At its peak, the Ninefold Dragon Emperor should have possessed the power of a complete Chaos Celestial Emperor. Even in its dormant state, its strength should not be underestimated.

Now that the 9 Extremes Dragon Emperor had fallen, his power had greatly diminished, yet he still far surpassed the Sage Domain. Even among the invincible Sages, he could be considered formidable.

The Black Abyss Emperor also nodded, taking a deep breath before saying, "With my current strength, I'm afraid I'm no match for this 9 Extremes Demonic Dragon either."

The Daoist Priest Tai Zhuo smiled faintly and spoke candidly, "That quasi-emperor of the desolate dragons possesses considerable strength. They just happen to be suitable candidates to test the power of the 9 Extremes Demonic Dragon."

While the crowd was still speaking, the battle on the field had escalated into a white-hot frenzy.

On the battlefield, the Wild Dragon Quasi-Emperor wielded a Heaven-Hunting Battle Axe, striking across the realms like an ancient barbaric sovereign as he single-handedly withstood the frontal assault of the 9-Extremes Demon Dragon.

The Heaven-Earth Demigod and the Blaze-Soul Demigod also demonstrated extraordinary combat prowess, maneuvering their Primordial Treasures to relentlessly assail the Ninefold Abyssal Dragon, thereby diverting a significant portion of its attention.

The Azure Crane Demi-Saint and the Myriad Stars Ancestor possessed rather ordinary strength; only their attacks, condensed into a singular divine form, could pose a slight threat to the Ninefold Demon Dragon.

The 9 Extremes Demon Dragon was exceedingly arrogant, practically disregarding the methods of the 2 Quasi-Sages as it continuously launched assaults against the other powerful experts.

"The strength of this Wild Dragon Quasi-Emperor wouldn't be considered weak even among the Wuji Sub-Sages."

Eldrin murmured softly, sensing a hint of difficulty.

Generally speaking, physical cultivation sovereigns who have attained the 9 True Spirit Divine Forms would directly step into the Wuji quasi-saint realm in terms of combat prowess.

The Black Abyss Emperor had cultivated the 9 True Spirit Divine Runes and mastered the 8 True Spirit Divine Forms, his combat prowess barely stepping into the realm of Wuji Quasi-Sages.

Yet in the end, he still lacked 1 True Spirit Divine Form, leaving the Black Abyss Emperor’s power slightly insufficient. He could only be considered as having barely stepped across the threshold of the Wuji Demi-Sage.

This slight disparity gave Emperor Black Abyss a fatal weakness when facing Quasi-Emperor Desolate Dragon.

In a direct confrontation, the Black Abyss Emperor would be no match for the Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor.

In terms of strength, Eldrin might be slightly more powerful than the Black Abyss Emperor by a narrow margin, and his defensive capabilities are far superior. Yet, even with these advantages, it seems unlikely that he could defeat this Non-Polarity Demi-Sage.

"To defeat the Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor, we must await the perfect moment to strike."

Eldrin's heart stirred slightly, a trace of solemnity flickering in his gaze.

Seeing this, Emperor Black Abyss immediately declared with resolve, "If an opportunity arises, I will strike first from the front to draw his attention. You seize the chance to deliver a fatal blow."

Eldrin nodded slightly. Though ambushing a complete stranger might be considered somewhat dishonorable, this battle could very well determine his chance at attaining the Dao. He was never 1 to be bound by rigid principles.

Throughout the ages, countless prodigies and heroes have cultivated their way to the realm of Path-holding Paragons, only to find themselves trapped at this stage, unable to advance even a single step further.

Only those who have triumphed over countless adversaries could ever seize the opportunity to tread upon the domain of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

Slaughter—

Just as Eldrin’s thoughts wavered, the clamor of battle on the front lines grew increasingly deafening.

As time went on, the great battle grew increasingly fierce.

No 1 knew how much time had passed. When both sides had lost over half their forces, they finally began to fight with all their might to decide life or death.

The 6 supreme powerhouses clashed fiercely at the heart of the primordial chaos, each unleashing unprecedented divine might that shook the heavens.

The Qiankun Paragon unleashed his full power, temporarily merging the 9 divine manifestations of the Great Dao into 1, erupting with might rivaling that of the Wuji Paragon.

Then, it was fused into the Qiankun Cauldron, descending with supreme might to suppress everything.

As an innate supreme treasure descended from a Chaos Spiritual Artifact, the power of the Qiankun Ding was already unparalleled. Now, further enhanced by the only divine form, its might had increased by several times over.

With a deafening roar, the treasure descended with crushing force, relentlessly driving the 9 Extremes Demon Dragon into retreat and compelling it to muster its full strength to resist.

At the same time, the Flamesoul Saint Sovereign also unleashed his full power.

He merged the 9 divine forms into 1, coalescing into a divine spear of Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) that soared into the skies. In an instant, he fused it into his life-bound treasure, the ‘Flame Soul Divine Spear’.

In an instant, the vast chaos shattered as a dazzling spear radiance pierced through it, its scorching, razor-sharp point thrusting toward the 9 Extremes Demon Dragon, seemingly intent on completely impaling it.

"Hymn—"

In an instant, the 9 Extremes Demon Dragon let out a heaven-shaking roar, instantly erecting a divine protective barrier that blocked the lethal assault of this formidable foe.

"Perish!"

At that very moment, the Wild Dragon Quasi-Emperor unleashed his full power. Soaring through the skies astride the Heaven-Hunting Giant Axe, he fused the 9 divine forms of true spirits into its blade before descending upon the 9 Extremes Demon Dragon with annihilating force.

The force of this strike nearly surpassed the Domain of the Primordial Sub-Saint, almost stepping into a realm rivaling the Celestial Emperor. Even Eldrin felt a faint tremor in his heart.

"Not good, the 9-Polar Demonic Dragon probably can't hold on any longer."

The Black Abyss Emperor spoke, and just as he was about to strike, he was stopped by Eldrin.

Eldrin's eyes blazed with an intense light, his expression growing profoundly grave as he declared, "Do not be hasty. The outcome of this battle still hangs in the balance."

In that very instant, the 9-Extremes Demon Dragon suddenly erupted with a heaven-shaking roar.

The void shattered before their eyes, and from each of the 9 dragon heads emerged a Primordial Chaos Treasure. They were none other than a cauldron, a seal, a pagoda, a bell, a furnace, a banner, a sword, a ring, and a blade—9 supreme treasures in total.

Thus, the 9 supreme treasures soared into the sky, instantly manifesting a grand formation capable of shattering heavens and tearing apart the cosmos, forcibly blocking the assault of the Quasi-Emperor Barren Dragon.

Not only that, the 9 supreme treasures instantly scattered and transformed into a dragon-shaped formation that sealed the heavens, forcibly trapping the 5 Quasi-Sages within.

"This is..."

The Black Abyss Emperor's face shifted slightly, revealing a trace of astonishment.

Eldrin (Person Name) said with a calm expression and utmost gravity, "This is the 9 Dragons' Treasure, capable of manifesting the 9 Dragons Grand Formation—the life-bound killing array of the 9 Extremities Demonic Dragon Clan."

"Once this formation is activated, I'm afraid even the Sub-sage of Infinity will suffer a heavy setback."

Eldrin spoke these words, a trace of solemnity involuntarily coloring his expression.

Innate Supreme Treasures possess immense power, yet their consumption is equally enormous. Generally, a Great Emperor can only wield 1 such treasure at a time.

Even a peerless Paramount Sage could typically only wield 3 Innate Supreme Treasures simultaneously in battle.

Yet the 9 Extremes Demon Dragon before them could simultaneously wield 9 Primordial Treasures, even deploying them to form the 9 Dragons Grand Array. Its power was likely among the pinnacle of those at the Non-Ultimate Paragon stage.

Seeing this, the Primordial Spirit Emperor also breathed a slight sigh of relief, saying with a trace of concern, "Fortunately, they took the lead. Had we rushed in unprepared, we might have suffered a heavy loss."

Eldrin remained silent, his entire focus fixed upon the center of the battlefield.

As supreme quasi-sages, figures like Elder Qiankun undoubtedly possessed astonishingly formidable life-preserving methods and contingency plans, making it utterly inconceivable for them to be so easily defeated.

Not to mention the quasi-emperor Desolate Dragon, who was transformed from a Primordial Desolate Dragon and had cultivated 9 true spirit forms—an invincible quasi-sage whose combat prowess far surpassed that of ordinary quasi-sages.

Sure enough, after a brief moment of astonishment, the 5 Demi-Sages quickly regained their composure.

The Myriad Stars Patriarch immediately deployed the Myriad Stars Grand Formation, barely managing to withstand a fraction of the 9 Dragons Grand Formation's power.

Azure Crane Demi-Saint unfurled his wings, merging the divine forms of 6 primordial spirits as he unleashed the primordial supernatural ability—Azure Crane’s Transcendent Slash. Like an ancient Divine Sovereign shattering the void, he surged toward the 9 Extremes Demon Dragon.

Elder Qiankun also poured his full power into summoning the Qiankun Cauldron, even producing a set of innate supreme treasure formation flags to barely withstand the pressure of the array.

With this step complete, Qiankun Elder spoke with an expression of utmost gravity, "Fellow Daoists Huanglong and Yanpo, the rest now depends on you."

Yanpo the Sublime nodded slightly. A torrent of Great Dao flames erupted around him, causing his aura and cultivation base to surge instantaneously. His power increased by over 50 percent in mere moments.

Forbidden Divine Power.

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, a glimmer of comprehension dawning within him.

A forbidden divine ability capable of boosting a top-tier Demi-Saint's combat prowess by 50 percent could already be considered exceptionally formidable.

At this moment, with the full eruption of his power, Flame Soul Paragon even gained the qualification to confront the Black Abyss Emperor head-on, 1 might say he had barely stepped into the Infinite Paragon realm.

But under the full eruption of the Flamesoul Demigod’s power, the divine spear of Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) in his grasp seemed capable of shattering all existence, posing a formidable threat even to the Ninefold Netherdrake.

If that were all, it would have been 1 thing, but the most critical point was that at this very moment, the Quasi-Dragon Emperor also began an ultimate eruption.

Behold, the 9 great true spirit manifestations behind his head completely boiled over, merging into 1 almost instantaneously.

In an instant, the strength of the Feral Dragon Quasi-Emperor surged explosively, nearly elevating him to a realm where he could comprehensively rival the Celestial Emperor.

Fusing the forms of the 9 divine beasts into a single divine form—this was a power that dared to openly challenge the Celestial Emperor.

However, achieving the Unique True Form was an immensely difficult feat. Although the Wild Dragon Quasi-Emperor had not yet fully cultivated this realm, he could briefly step into this domain.

At this very moment, as he fused with the Singular True Form, the Quasi-Emperor of the Primal Dragons experienced an explosive surge in combat prowess. His physical strength nearly reached 70 to 80 percent of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor’s level.

Such power could almost be considered a challenge to the Celestial Emperor. With overwhelming force that swept away all opposition, he confronted the Ninefold Netherdrake. In but a single clash, he sent the beast reeling, blood spraying from its wounds.

Yet, within just a few 1000 exchanges, the 9-Polar Devil Dragon was already forced into repeated retreats, sustaining grievous wounds 1 after another. Even its 9 Dragons Grand Formation was shattered multiple times.

"What formidable power! Strength, speed, defense, perception, and explosive force—all have nearly reached the realm of the Chaos Celestial Emperor."

"Is this the power of unifying the 9 great true spirit forms into 1, cultivating the singular true form?"

The Black Abyss Emperor murmured slowly, a look of immense anticipation spreading across his face.

Eldrin also nodded, then spoke, "It's a pity he cannot remain permanently in this realm. Otherwise, we would have no choice but to turn back immediately."

The fusion of the 9 True Spirit divine forms marked a qualitative transformation—a power that could challenge the Heavenly Emperor, approaching or perhaps even surpassing the ultimate pinnacle of invincible Paragons.

Even the current Eldrin remains a considerable distance from reaching this realm.

Fortunately, the Wild Dragon Quasi-Emperor could only maintain this domain briefly. After thousands of exchanges, he had already reached his limit, and his sole divine form showed signs of instability.

"Seize the moment and strike the instant the 9 Divine Forms crumble."

Eldrin spoke slowly, his gaze meeting the Black Abyss Emperor's as absolute understanding passed between them.

Meanwhile, the 9-Extremity Demon Dragon had suffered successive heavy blows, with 6 of its 9 dragon heads brutally severed.

Just as the Feral Dragon Quasi-Emperor sought to press his advantage and utterly annihilate his foe, the sole true form within him trembled violently before ultimately collapsing and dispersing back into the 9 great divine forms.

The Wild Dragon Quasi-Emperor's face paled slightly as a wave of weakness washed over him after the 9 Divine Forms dissipated. His strength instantly diminished by approximately 30 percent.

In that very instant, an ultimate light of slaughter tore through the void.

The Feral Dragon Quasi-Emperor turned his head, only to witness the Black Abyss Emperor unleashing his full power. He guided 8 true forms to merge into his Black Abyss Emperor Spear, erupting with an ultimate strike that pushed the limits of his strength.

"With merely 8 divine forms mastered, you dare to defy the heavens?"

The Quasi-Emperor of the Desolate Dragon’s expression chilled slightly as he immediately maneuvered his giant axe in a sweeping strike, erupting into a world-shaking confrontation against the Black Abyss Emperor.

But in that very instant, the void behind the Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor tore open. A figure clad in white robes pierced through the skies, riding upon 2 glorious immortal swords that split the heavens asunder.

The 1 who struck was none other than Eldrin. By harnessing the power of the Void-Returning Pearl, he had torn through the void and materialized directly behind the Quasi-Dragon Emperor in an instant.

At this moment, Eldrin unleashed his full power, merging the Heaven-Earth Twin Swords instantly before completely integrating his True Spirit Form and Great Dao Form into the blade. The fusion transformed into a sword aura that tore through the firmament.

In that fleeting moment, the Wild Dragon Quasi-Emperor had no time to evade. The sword energy instantly pierced through his flesh, leaving behind grievous wounds.

"You... how dare you?!"

The Feral Dragon Quasi-Emperor roared and surged into the sky, instantly manifesting his boundless primordial feral dragon form as he charged toward Eldrin (Person Name) with immeasurable fury.

Yet Eldrin let out a cold snort, channeling his power into the Chaos Heaven Halberd to suppress his foe with overwhelming force. The blow sent the Quasi-Emperor of the Desolate Dragon coughing up blood once more, hurling him through the air like a broken leaf.

At its peak, the Feral Dragon Quasi-Emperor's power might have given Eldrin some pause, yet it would likely have struggled to inflict serious harm upon him, protected as he was by the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

At this moment, he was severely wounded and his strength had been severely depleted. How could he possibly be a match for Eldrin (Person Name)?

In just a few exchanges, the Primal Dragon Quasi-Emperor had already been grievously wounded multiple times, suffering tremendous losses. His strength had been diminished by 7 or 8 tenths.

The Black Abyss Emperor also seized this opportunity, wielding the Black Abyss Emperor Spear with full force to strike, sending the Quasi-Dragon Emperor staggering back while coughing up blood.

"Damn it!"

As the Quasi-Emperor of the Desolate Dragon seethed with inner fury, his gaze swept across the surroundings.

Yet the Primordial Spirit Emperor unleashed his full power, intercepting the 10 1000 Stars Ancestor and the Azure Crane Demigod. Meanwhile, the Chaos Ancestor and the Blazing Soul Demigod found themselves blocked by the Grand Turbid Daoist.

It was not that these 4 quasi-sages lacked strength, but after battling to this day, their mana had been largely depleted, and each bore severe wounds to varying degrees.

Chapter 1 The Azure Cloud Sect's outer gate examination had just concluded. Lin Xuan stood silently amidst the crowd, his fingers tracing the jade slip in his sleeve—a low-grade spirit stone embedded within it, its spiritual energy nearly depleted. "Lin Xuan, Mortal Root, Grade 3 spiritual energy. Failed." The elder's voice was cold and indifferent, like a sharp blade piercing his heart. The surrounding disciples cast glances of pity, mockery, or disdain, yet no 1 dared to speak a word of sympathy. In the world of cultivation, strength reigned supreme. A Mortal Root cultivator with shallow spiritual roots was destined to remain at the bottom, unworthy of notice. He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions within. 3 years—he had been transmigrated into this world for 3 years, only to learn that his spiritual roots were mediocre and his cultivation progress sluggish. If not for a stroke of luck that allowed him to join the Azure Cloud Sect as an outer disciple, he would have long been reduced to dust in the mortal world. "Don’t be disheartened," a clear voice rang out. A young girl in green robes approached, her eyes soft. "The path of cultivation is long and arduous. With perseverance, there will always be a chance." Lin Xuan recognized her—Su Qingxue, a fellow outer disciple and 1 of the few who had shown him kindness over the years. He forced a faint smile and nodded. "Thank you, Senior Sister Su." Su Qingxue sighed softly, her gaze drifting into the distance. "I heard the inner sect elders will be selecting disciples soon. If you can break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining before then, there might still be hope..." Lin Xuan’s heart stirred, but he quickly calmed himself. The fourth level of Qi Refining? With his current cultivation at the second level, advancing even 1 step felt as difficult as ascending to the heavens. After parting ways with Su Qingxue, Lin Xuan returned to his humble dwelling—a dilapidated thatched hut at the foot of the mountain. The Azure Cloud Sect spanned thousands of miles, with countless peaks piercing the clouds, but such a place was all an outer disciple like him could hope for. He sat cross-legged on the worn futon, attempting to absorb the sparse spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Yet, the spiritual energy around him was as thin as mist, barely entering his meridians before dissipating. Just as he was about to give up in frustration, a sudden tremor erupted in his dantian. A ancient, mysterious cauldron materialized out of thin air, its surface etched with countless cryptic runes that shimmered with a faint, elusive glow. "This is... the Divine Cauldron of Creation?!" Lin Xuan’s eyes snapped open, disbelief flooding his heart. This was the family heirloom he had stumbled upon in a flea market before his transmigration. He never imagined it would follow him into this world. As his spiritual sense touched the cauldron, a flood of information surged into his mind: "The Divine Cauldron of Creation refines all things in the world. It can refine pills, artifacts, spiritual herbs, and even... spiritual roots!" A wild excitement ignited in Lin Xuan’s eyes. If this was true, then his Mortal Root... might still be salvageable! He immediately took out the only low-grade spirit stone he had left, placing it before the cauldron. The Divine Cauldron of Creation glowed faintly, and the spirit stone dissolved into a wisp of pure spiritual energy, which flowed into his meridians. In that instant, Lin Xuan felt as though his entire body had been cleansed. The spiritual energy that had once been difficult to absorb now circulated freely through his limbs and bones. The barrier at the second level of Qi Refining shattered with an audible crack. Third level of Qi Refining! He clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with determination. The path of cultivation was fraught with hardship, but now, he finally held a chance to defy the heavens! Outside the window, moonlight streamed in like water, casting a layer of silver frost over the land. Somewhere in the distance, a faint sword hum echoed, as though heralding the arrival of a new era. Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his gaze piercing through the night sky. "This is only the beginning."
