Chapter 1537 : The Forging of an Immortal Body

"My physical strength should now be comparable to a true Primordial Unity Immortal Body [a legendary physique of perfect unity and immortality]."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, making a rough estimation. He judged that his physical strength alone should be sufficient to contend with ten Earth Immortal Great Perfection [cultivators at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm], rivaling a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the cusp of ascending to the Celestial Immortal realm] who had established a Single Primordial Unity Foundation [a foundational cultivation art based on a single source of primordial unity].

If he combined his physical body with his magical power [the cultivated energy wielded by immortals], along with his various Immortal Treasure [powerful artifacts forged by or for immortals] and divine abilities, he could likely match twenty Earth Immortal Great Perfection.

It was important to note that most cultivators with a Dual Primordial Unity Foundation [a superior foundational art drawing from dual sources of primordial unity] possessed combat power roughly equivalent to thirty such peak Earth Immortals.

This level of power was already astonishing. Although it still fell short of a powerful Half-Step Celestial Immortal with a Dual Primordial Unity Foundation, it at least granted him the capability to stand and fight against one.

Furthermore, if he wielded the Primordial Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword [a divine sword embodying primordial unity and the power of countless heavenly tribulations], Eldrin Chen might even gain the upper hand against such an opponent—at least until his magical power was exhausted.

"At this rate," he mused, "once I refine five Supreme Grade Blessed Land [lands of supreme spiritual fortune and power], the strength of my Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a physique of primordial oneness and utter indestructibility] alone should rival an existence with a Dual Primordial Unity Path Fruit [the perfected fruit of cultivation from a dual primordial unity foundation]."

"And if I further temper it with the power of the Wind Ice Thunder Three Anomalies [the three anomalous spiritual roots of wind, ice, and thunder], my Primordial One Indestructibility Body should be sufficient to contend with even the Myriad Spirit Patriarch."

Sensing the formidable power coursing within him, a flicker of excitement lit Eldrin Chen's eyes as he whispered these calculations.

In the Immortal Domain [the realm of the immortals], strength was the ultimate currency. With each passing year, as his cultivation deepened and his power grew more profound, Eldrin Chen felt the bedrock of his confidence solidify. Read, share, and discuss at audio-novel . com.

Next, if he could advance just one more step and set foot into the Celestial Immortal Realm [the realm of celestial beings, a major milestone in cultivation], then he would become a Great Power Figure [a supreme expert whose name commands awe across the land] feared throughout the entire Vast Azure Immortal Domain. Only then would he truly be free from the days of constant anxiety and fear.

"A pity," he mused. "These final two Supreme Grade Blessed Land [lands of supreme spiritual fortune and power] will not be easy to find."

After successfully completing his cultivation session, Eldrin Chen slowly rose to his feet, a contemplative gleam flashing in his eyes.

Within this Small Universe [a self-contained pocket dimension or microcosm], the only Blessed Land [a land imbued with potent spiritual energy and fortune] still brimming with abundant foundational energy were the four great Ancient True Spirit Domains [domains ruled by ancient, primordial spiritual beings]. Of these four, the Blessed Land of the Dragon Turtle [a mythical beast combining dragon and turtle attributes], the Kui Ox [a legendary one-legged ox-like beast], and the Great Roc [a mythical bird of immense size and power] had all been completely refined and absorbed by Eldrin Chen.

The remaining Great Roc Ancient Domain was a wind-attribute Supreme Grade Blessed Land, which held little practical use for Eldrin Chen.

Therefore, the remaining metal and wood attribute Supreme Grade Blessed Land would have to be sought from within the broader Immortal Domain [the vast realm where immortals dwell].

After much deliberation, Eldrin Chen finally chuckled. "Fortunately, only two Supreme Grade Blessed Land remain. With careful planning, securing them should be far simpler than searching for five."

With this thought, Eldrin Chen let out a hearty laugh of satisfaction. He then stepped out from the Depths of the Starry Sky [the profound emptiness between stars] and headed towards the Netherworld Small Universe [a pocket dimension associated with the underworld or yin energies].

He had not traveled far, however, when a spiritual talisman in his hand suddenly lit up, indicating that something had occurred.

"The Horizon Remote Sensing Talisman [a talisman that allows remote sensing of distant events or fates]," he noted.

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly, a look of solemnity crossing his features.

This Horizon Remote Sensing Talisman was divided into one mother talisman and nine child talismans, capable of transmitting messages across the boundless, starry void.

Years ago, Eldrin Chen had left it with the Human Sovereign Palace. Unless faced with a truly dire crisis, the Human Sovereign would not have used this Ancient Talisman to send a message.

And indeed, as Eldrin Chen probed the information within the Ancient Talisman, his expression grew profoundly grave.

He immediately headed towards the Human Sovereign Nebula. As expected, he discovered that beyond its borders, a cataclysmic battle had already erupted.

Within the Boundless Starry Sky, over forty Half-Step Celestial Immortal cultivators from the Divine Clan and the Demon Race were besieging the grand defensive formation of the Human Sovereign Nebula.

Inside the formation, twenty-one Human RaceHalf-Step Celestial Immortal were resisting with all their might. Among those Eldrin Chen could see were Heaven Sorrow Human Sovereign, Antiquity-Tracing Great Emperor, Future Great Emperor, and Eastern Pole Great Emperor.

In addition, there were several other Human RaceHalf-Step Celestial Immortal present, including Venus Celestial Maiden, the Primordial Solar Holy Son, and the Buddhist Scion from the Great Desert's Ancient Temple.

"The Demon Race and the Divine Clan have truly joined forces,"

Eldrin Chen murmured slowly, his face etched with deep concern.

He did not immediately move to lend aid. Instead, he swept his divine sense across the void, swiftly locating Exquisite Jiang and the others concealed within the starry expanse.

At this moment, Myriad Spirit Patriarch, Blazeflame Divine Spirit, Violet Mystery Path Master, and other Half-Step Celestial Immortal powerhouses had all gathered.

Upon seeing them, Eldrin Chen inquired without preamble, "What is the situation?"

"The battle has only just begun."

Myriad Spirit Patriarch spoke slowly, his expression turning grave. "This joint action by the Demon Race and the Divine Clan... it seems their primary goal is likely to slay the Void Holy Son."

Glazed Divine Lord's face was etched with deep concern. "What should we do?" he could not help but ask. Original English translation available at http://www . audio-novel.com.

"We must still intervene,"

Eldrin Chen stated, his brow furrowed in thought. "If we stand by and allow the Human Race to be besieged by the Demonic and Divine Clans, our kind will suffer grievous losses. After that, the Demonic and Divine Clans will surely begin clearing the field of all others."

Violet Mystery Path Master also gave a slight nod, adding with calm certainty, "Regardless of the outcome, both sides in this clash will be severely weakened. How, then, will they withstand the Heavenly Emperor's Avatar when it comes?"

"Then let us act,"

Once their resolve was set, the group acted in an instant.

The first to strike was Myriad Spirit Patriarch. With a flick of his sleeve, he channeled the Myriad Laws Wondrous Tree [a legendary treasure said to contain the essence of countless natural laws], unleashing a torrent of myriad divine abilities that cascaded down upon the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to the threshold of true celestial immortality] from the various Demonic and Divine Clans.

"So it is you, Myriad Spirit Patriarch!"

Detecting the Myriad Spirit Patriarch's assault, the expressions of both sides in the conflict shifted slightly.

From within the battlefield, five direct disciples of Grotto-Heaven [a sacred realm of profound spiritual energy]—Virtuous Phoenix Maiden, Western Essence Divine Scion, Western Metal Patriarch, True Dragon Crown Prince, and Kunji Divine Son—instantly retaliated. Wielding their Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [weapons forged at the dawn of creation, possessing immense power], they joined forces to oppose the Myriad Spirit Patriarch.

Even with the Myriad Spirit Patriarch's awe-inspiring, immortal-defying combat prowess, facing five Grotto-Heaven direct disciples, each armed with a Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon, pushed him to his absolute limit.

The remaining combatants still held a significant advantage against the Human Race forces within the Human Sovereign Nebula.

Fortunately, at that critical moment, five figures surged into action: Eldrin Chen, Glazed Divine Lord, Violet Mystery Path Master, Life Great Emperor, and Blazeflame Divine Spirit. Their intervention dramatically alleviated the pressure on the battlefront.

Among them, Eldrin Chen's current combat strength was already comparable to a top-tier Half-Step Celestial Immortal.

Glazed Divine Lord wielded the Primordial Unity Immortal WeaponSeven-Colored Heaven-Scrolling Ribbon [a divine ribbon capable of painting across the heavens], while Violet Mystery Path Master commanded the Primordial Unity Immortal WeaponKui Ox Heavenly Drum [a drum whose beat echoes with the power of primordial thunder]. Combined with the Blazeflame Divine Spirit [a divine entity of pure flame], whose power rivaled that of a cultivator with a Dual Primordial Unity Foundation [an exceptionally rare and potent dual-element cultivation base], they managed to spectacularly reverse the tide of battle in that moment.

"The Kui Ox Heavenly Drum [a powerful drum artifact crafted from the hide and bones of a Kui Ox], so it was indeed you who slew that Kui Ox [a legendary single-legged bovine demon beast]."

As Violet Mystery Path Master brandished the Kui Ox Heavenly Drum [a powerful drum artifact crafted from the hide and bones of a Kui Ox] to strike in all directions, the Golden Brilliance Divine Spirit [a divine being embodying golden radiance] from the Golden Radiance Grotto-Heaven [a celestial paradise realm of golden light] cast a frigid gaze, intent on seizing the drum. Yet, he was firmly held at bay by Venus Celestial Maiden.

Western Essence Divine Scion [the heir or chosen one of the Western Essence realm] wore an even colder expression. He glared at the Blazeflame Divine Spirit [a divine being embodying blazing flames] and demanded, "Blazeflame, you are of the Divine Clan [a clan or lineage of divine beings]. Why do you aid the Human Race against us?"

"Come to our aid swiftly, and I, this Divine Scion, promise to facilitate your entry into the Western Essence Grotto-Heaven [a celestial paradise realm of western essence]."

The Blazeflame Divine Spirit [a divine being embodying blazing flames] merely offered a faint smile, his gaze profound. "The Western Essence Heavenly God [the celestial deity governing the essence of the West] wields the virtue of Water [one of the fundamental forces or principles of the cosmos]. This is inherently incompatible with a Fire-element Divine Spirits [beings who have ascended to a divine state of existence] like myself."

"Recall how the former Crimson Sun Heavenly God [the celestial deity of the crimson sun] was ensnared by the schemes of the Western Essence Grotto-Heaven [a celestial paradise realm of western essence]. He lost his life-bound Innate Treasure [a magical artifact one is born with, sharing a profound connection with one's soul], the Crimson Sun Halberd [a halberd artifact embodying the power of the crimson sun], and was diminished into the Lingering Sun Heavenly God [the celestial deity of the lingering, weakened sun]."

"For me to follow you into the Western Essence Grotto-Heaven [a celestial paradise realm of western essence] would be like a lamb willingly entering a tiger's den."

As the Blazeflame Divine Spirit [a divine being embodying blazing flames] spoke these words, the Blazeflame Heavenly Lantern [a heavenly lantern artifact containing blazing flames] in his hand erupted with boundless Southern Brightness Solar Fire [a divine solar flame of the southern brilliance], forcing his opponent into a relentless retreat.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen pricked up his ears, a flicker of curiosity stirring within him.

The former Lingering Sun Heavenly God [the celestial deity of the lingering, weakened sun] had been a figure of great renown. Born with the Innate Ancient Treasure [an ancient magical artifact one is born with], the Crimson Sun Halberd [a halberd artifact embodying the power of the crimson sun], as his companion, his foundational nature rivaled that of the most supreme Innate Divine Spirit [a divine being born with innate divinity]. By all logic, he should have been able to cultivate at least to the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation realm].

In the end, it was discovered during its gestation. Initially thought to be an accident, it now appears that the hand of Western Essence Grotto-Heaven was behind it all along. Find thousands of chapters at audio‑novel.com.
