Chapter 2086 : Hongmeng Canjie

With his current strength, he could traverse through the past and future across over a 100 kalpas in the span of a single Eldrin (Person Name).

Of course, Eldrin would not resort to this unless absolutely necessary.

For if he were to traverse so recklessly, it could trigger turbulence in the River of Time, causing irreversible anomalies within this Chaos Sea.

Yet even so, the Time God Rune possessed astonishing profundity.

Eldrin discovered that he could slow the flow of time in the surrounding space, or accelerate its passage around himself.

Whether it was time acceleration or time deceleration, both would provide immense advantages during combat.

Imagine, in a true magical duel, when others' attack speeds appear as sluggish as a tortoise's crawl to Eldrin, how could they possibly harm Eldrin?

Alternatively, Eldrin (Person Name) channeled the flow of time into himself. In the briefest moment of the external world, he experienced a 1000 years—enough to instantly shake off his pursuers.

"The power of this Time Godspell is truly profound, as expected of a Half-Step Ultimate Godspell."

Eldrin murmured softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

The legendary Spacetime Divine Rune was woven from the intertwining of the 2 great Daos—Time and Space.

This ultimate divine rune possesses the power to manipulate time and space, holding unparalleled profundity. Its capabilities for survival and comprehensive utility rank first among the 4 ultimate divine runes.

Eldrin (Person Name) had now cultivated the Rune of Time, mastering half the power of the Spacetime Divine Rune. Yet this achievement could already be considered half-step Ultimate Divine Rune.

Next, I only need to master the Dao of Space to merge the powers of time and space, ultimately cultivating the legendary Spacetime Divine Runes.

Time stands as the supreme, while Space reigns as the king.

"If time and space were to merge as 1, 1 could become invincible under the heavens."

Eldrin murmured softly, a faint ripple of emotion shimmering in his gaze.

Legend has it that the Dao of Time and the Dao of Space, either 1 alone could lead directly to the realm of the Boundless Sovereign. Should 1 merge these 2 paths, they would step into the domain of the Primordial Chaos Dao.

Such a supreme Great Dao, even Eldrin had to devote his entire being to pursue it.

"In the days to come, I must devise a strategy for the Dao of Space."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then set aside his thoughts and turned his gaze toward the Black Abyss Emperor beside him.

But then, not far away, Emperor Black Abyss slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile gracing his features.

Behind his head, a primordial Chaos Bell slowly took form, radiating an invincible power capable of suppressing all chaos.

Ultimate Divine Form — The Primordial Chaos Bell.

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, a flicker of joy crossing his expression as he promptly cupped his hands in salute. "Congratulations, Senior! With your successful cultivation of the Chaos Divine Form, you have now fully stepped into the Quasi-Sage Realm."

"My prowess pales in comparison to your world-shaking combat prowess."

The Black Abyss Emperor chuckled softly before speaking, "This time, however, my gains have been truly substantial."

This time, the Black Abyss Emperor successfully cultivated the ninth True Spirit Divine Form, his cultivation completely stepping into the Quasi-Sage Realm. Both his foundation and latent potential had been tremendously elevated.

If the original Black Abyss Emperor’s strength could only be considered top-tier among the Wuji Demi-Saints, then his current power should have reached roughly 50 percent of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor’s level.

With such strength, though not yet reaching the realm of challenging the Celestial Emperor, it could already be considered remarkably formidable—at the very least, he could barely intervene in battles at the Celestial Emperor’s level.

Moreover, this was not the limit. Once the Black Abyss Emperor merged the 9 divine forms into 1 and fully cultivated the Primordial True Form, his power would likely surge exponentially.

By then, the strength of the Black Abyss Emperor would likely rival that of a newly ascended Chaos God Emperor like the Grand Turbidity Divine Sovereign.

At this thought, the Black Abyss Emperor couldn't help but smile and say, "With our strength having improved significantly this time, perhaps we can attempt to venture into the Primordial Chaos Fragment Realm."

Eldrin and the Old Man of Immortality both felt a flicker of temptation upon hearing this.

This time, the reason they selected the 3 great forbidden lands was because all 3 shared a common trait: only those below the level of Chaos Heavenly Emperor were qualified to enter and explore them.

It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin did not hand over the Primordial Chaos Qi to the Undying Elder.

Because once the Undying Elder breaks through to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor realm, the remaining 2 opportunities will be forever beyond his reach.

At this moment, the 3 exchanged glances, and Eldrin declared decisively, "In that case, we must not delay. Let us depart at once."

As the words faded, Eldrin was the first to step out of the Mysterious Heaven Ruins, then strode toward the depths of the vast, primordial chaos.

The Eternal Elder and the Black Abyss Emperor followed closely behind, shattering the vast primordial chaos as they advanced.

Yet, after what seemed an eternity of wandering, Eldrin's footsteps abruptly stilled, halting within a haze of formless chaos.

"What's wrong?"

The Black Abyss Emperor on the side couldn't help but show a hint of vigilance upon witnessing this.

Yet a trace of frost flashed across Eldrin's (Person Name) expression as he gazed into the void and demanded, "Since you've come, why skulk in the shadows like a ghost?"

"So you've found me after all."

At that very moment, several cold voices echoed from within the chaos.

The primordial chaos was torn asunder, and a war chariot drawn by 9 ancient True Dragons emerged before the crowd.

Upon the war chariot stood a tall, straight-backed man holding a battle spear, his face etched with an air of frosty indifference.

Blazing Heart Incineration.

The Elder of Immortality spoke, a trace of solemnity gleaming between his brows.

A faint smirk tugged at the corners of Zhiyang Fenjin's lips as he spoke, "I heard the 3 of you passed the second trial. It seems your aptitudes are fairly decent."

"I shall not waste words. Hand over the item if you know what's good for you, and I might spare your lives."

"On what grounds?"

The Undying Elder was enraged, a trace of frosty indifference flickering in his gaze.

Eldrin (Person Name) and the Black Abyss Emperor exchanged a glance, a trace of concealed killing intent flickering deep within their eyes.

"On what grounds?" Chi Yan Fen Jin chuckled, then his expression abruptly turned icy as he declared, "By the fist, of course."

As the words fell, Chi Yang Fen Jin instantly soared into the air, riding a Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) divine spear that tore through the sky as he charged directly toward Immortal Venerable Undying.

Facing the utterly arrogant Blazing Heart Incinerator, Elder Immortal Vanguard was the first to charge forth. Mounted upon his Eternal Vanguard Spear, he soared into the skies and erupted into an ultimate battle against him.

Yet in the instant their gazes met, the Undying Elder was sent flying backward. Though he sustained no serious injuries, he appeared to have suffered a considerable setback.

"Wait, that's a Chaos Spiritual Artifact in his hand—the Blazing Heaven Chaos Spear."

Eldrin immediately called out a warning, then rode forth on his Chaos Heavenly Halberd to meet the assault, blocking Zhian Fenjin's full-powered strike.

At this moment, both Emperor Black Abyss and the Undying Elder understood the formidable power of Blazing Central Incineration.

The Blazing Sun Incineration had always excelled in explosive bursts—its fleeting yet extreme combat prowess could even rival that of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

With such a figure wielding a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, the Lord of Eternal Silence—who was never adept at combat—was clearly no match for him.

Of course, Undying Elder excelled even more in defense. Even if he could not prevail against his opponent, his own safety would never be in question.

"Ancestral Master of the Returning Abyss, how dare someone like you stand against me?"

As Eldrin charged forth, Chi Yan Fen Jin nearly went berserk on the spot, instantly unleashing cataclysmic techniques that swept across the 8 directions in a furious attempt to completely annihilate Eldrin.

Yet Eldrin (Person Name) was no easy foe to contend with. His physical combat prowess surpassed even that of Blazing Solar Incineration, and his Chaos Heavenly Halberd stood equal to the Chaos Scorching Sky Spear without yielding an inch.

In such a fierce battle, Eldrin did not unleash his full strength, yet he held his ground without faltering through over 3 1000 exchanges of blows.

"How is this possible?"

Witnessing Eldrin erupt with such an extreme display of combat prowess, even the Blazing Central Ember Incineration was somewhat astonished.

But he appeared almost completely maddened, erupting with devastating, ultimate combat prowess. The Chaos Scorching Sky Spear in his hand blazed with flames that seared the heavens.

Such terrifying flames, capable of scorching or even wounding the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, were still of little concern to Eldrin (Person Name).

However, Eldrin was unwilling to reveal too much of his strength. He immediately manifested the Wuji Earth Sovereign Bell for protection, then turned his gaze toward the Black Abyss Emperor and the Undying Old Man.

In that fleeting moment, the 2 supreme experts moved with unspoken synchrony, instantly joining forces with Eldrin to launch a pincer attack against Chi Yan Fen Jin.

Facing 3 opponents alone, Chi Yang Fen Jin was quickly overwhelmed and forced into a relentless retreat.

"Damn it, your progress is so immense. It seems you truly have obtained a great opportunity."

Seeing that he was no match for the 3 of them combined, Chi Yan Fen Jin was both shocked and enraged. He immediately turned his gaze toward the depths of the void and cried out, "Brother Xuan Huang, quickly assist me in suppressing them!"

Boom

In an instant, the void was violently torn asunder. A terrifying Chaos Hand shattered through dimensions, descending to completely suppress the 3 figures.

Eldrin (Person Name) looked up and saw a majestic figure emerging from the depths of chaos, shattering the void as it approached—none other than a peerless and invincible Chaos Celestial Emperor.

"It’s the Profound Empyrean Emperor—flee, now!"

The Elder of Immortality spoke at once, then soared through the skies astride his Undying War Spear. After meeting the blow head-on, he pulled the others along, seeking to make their escape.

But the Profound Emperor remained unfazed, his expression cold as he declared, "Surrender the treasure, and then you may leave."

As his voice faded, with a flick of his sleeve, he summoned a Void Treasure Pot, instantly sealing off the entire space.

"Chaos Void Gourd—this is a Chaos Spiritual Treasure of the spatial attribute."

The Elder of the Undying's expression shifted slightly, his gaze instantly locking onto Eldrin (Person Name).

Without the slightest hesitation, Eldrin immediately summoned the Chaos Void-Refining Bottle to block the power of the Chaos Primordial Void Pot. Then, tearing through the void, he swiftly departed with the 3 companions.

The Lifebound Supreme Treasure of the Dao Ancestor of Immortal Cosmos.

Watching the 3 depart, the Profound Abyss Celestial Emperor was momentarily taken aback before remarking, "No wonder the Ascendant of the Returning Abyss rose so swiftly—it turns out he is the legacy disciple of the Ancestral Sage of the Immortal Cosmos."

At that moment, Emperor Xuanhuang gave a slight nod, and some of Eldrin’s (Person Name) speculations became clear to him in an instant.

Over the years, as Eldrin gradually rose to prominence, he had entered the gaze of the Primordial Chiyang Realm.

Many believed that Eldrin possessed unparalleled talent and was highly likely to become a figure akin to the second Otherworldly Demon Emperor.

The various Chaos Heavenly Emperors of the Blazing Central Chaos Realm have thus also paid considerable attention to Eldrin.

However, the Zhiyang lineage had made far too many enemies, and Eldrin (Person Name) was backed by multiple Chaos Heavenly Emperors. Otherwise, the Zhiyang lineage would likely have already taken action against Eldrin (Person Name).

Now that the Chaos Void-Refining Bottle had emerged into the world, the Zhiyang lineage had gained some speculation about Eldrin's (Person Name) origins.

In the eyes of the Profound Desolation Celestial Emperor, Eldrin was most likely a direct descendant of the Primordial Dao Ancestor lineage, and might even be a hidden contingency left by the Primordial Domain of the Celestial Cosmos.

Only in this way could 1 explain why Eldrin (Person Name) had risen so swiftly.

"Cousin, are we truly going to let them depart just like that?"

At the same time, Chiyang Fenjin said somewhat unwillingly.

The Profound Empyrean Emperor, however, shook his head and remarked impassively, "The Dao Ancestor of Immortal Cosmos has attained the realm of Soul Path Emperor, his strength no less than that of the Outer Realm Demon Sovereign."

"If not for the calamity brought upon by the Chaos Cauldron, he would likely have already broken through to the realm of the Unity Dao Sovereign. The legacy left behind by such a figure is bound to be extraordinary."

"However, with the Chaos Void-Refining Vial (Magic Treasure) in his possession, unless the Patriarch personally intervenes, it would be difficult for even the 2 of us to capture him."

"However, our Chi Yang lineage has made far too many enemies. Those half-step Dao Fusion experts across the 100 domains of Chi Yang would never permit us to take action."

As he spoke thus, Emperor Xuanhuang added, "However, we can spread this news. Though the legacy of the Immortal Realm lineage has dwindled, what remains is still enough to tempt many."

"I believe some individuals from the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss would gladly deal with this person on our behalf."

"Marvelous."

“Impressive,” Chi Yang Fen Jin exclaimed in admiration, then continued, “Even if we fail to secure the treasure, we can still keep the situation in the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss in turmoil.”

"This move of driving the tiger to devour the wolf might just make them destroy each other."

Just as the Profound Abyss Heavenly Emperor was seized by overwhelming dread, the trio on the other side had already escaped from peril.

The Eternal Elder immediately turned his gaze toward Eldrin and spoke, "Revealing the Chaos Void-Refining Bottle this time will likely bring you trouble."

"Nothing serious."

Eldrin shook his head, yet his expression remained as tranquil as ever.

After the primordial Immortal Realm's collapse in ages past, the majority of its legacy was divided among the 13 Domains of the Northern and Southern Celestial Abysses.

The Candle Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and even the various Chaos Demon Monarchs from foreign realms mostly ascended to the rank of Chaos Heavenly Emperor because of this.

Even if the Immortal Cosmos Dao Ancestor had left behind treasures, the remaining artifacts were few and far between, making it unlikely to stir the hearts of those at the Half-Step Dao Unification realm.

Therefore, even when facing the Chaos Void-Refining Bottle Furnace, Eldrin (Person Name) was not in a truly desperate situation. With his current strength, he even stood a chance of preserving the Chaos Void-Refining Bottle.

After all, he was not only powerful himself, but also had multiple allies at the level of Chaos Heavenly Emperors.

On the contrary, this opportunity with the Chaos Crucible Bottle of Void-Refining would perfectly explain Eldrin’s strength and cultivation speed.

A man with no extraordinary background, who had cultivated to the level of Eldrin and even survived the trials of the Profound Heaven Ruins—this alone was enough to make even a Unity Supreme feel wary.

However, if it was the successor of a top-tier Half-Step Unity Realm expert, who had obtained the vast resources amassed by that Half-Step Unity Realm master, then reaching such a realm and strength seemed only natural.

Even if it was a bit exaggerated, it could still be perfectly explained.

This, in turn, would significantly reduce the prying eyes from the outside world for Eldrin (Person Name), making him far safer in ways unseen.

Moreover, without deploying the Chaos Void-Refining Bottle, Eldrin would have to unleash combat prowess at the level of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor to carve a path out of the battlefield.

到了那个时候，势必会惊动炽央至尊，从而为Eldrin (Person Name)招惹更大的麻烦。

After all, a mere mortal who had achieved sainthood through physical cultivation—without even having broken through to the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm—already rivaled a true Chaos Celestial Emperor. If he were to fully step into that realm, what unimaginable heights would he reach?

"I've stirred up some trouble, but with my strength and connections, I should barely manage to handle it."

Eldrin's thoughts flickered briefly before he swiftly reined them back in.

Retracting his thoughts, Eldrin gazed into the depths of the chaos and declared, "At this critical moment, strength alone commands all."

"Let us first venture into the Hongmeng Fragment Realm and see if we can find an opportunity to advance further."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Immortal Death and the Black Abyss Emperor both nodded in agreement, promptly following him toward the Primordial Chaos Fragment.

After this long journey spanning dozens of kalpas in the blink of an eye, Eldrin finally arrived beyond the Primordial Ruins Realm just as he began to feel slightly weary.

"This is the place."

Gazing upon the Primordial Chaos Fragment before him, Eldrin murmured softly, a faint ripple of emotion shimmering in his eyes.

The so-called Primordial Chaos Fragment is a transformation of the Primordial Chaos Realm. These complete primordial realms possess an exceedingly profound tier of existence, having been conceived even before the chaos of the universe first coalesced.

It was woven from the Primordial Violet Qi, harboring an extraordinary and world-shaking power.

If it were a complete Primordial Chaos Realm, even a Unity Supreme or a Primal Chaos Sovereign would be moved by it.

For it might contain remnants of Primordial Qi, the most crucial resource for reaching the third realm of Chaos.

Before them lay a Chaotic Remnant Realm, now a broken Hongmeng secret realm that had endured a great war countless years ago.

2 Supreme Eldrin fought a cataclysmic battle over the providence of this realm, ultimately shattering the Primordial Chaos Realm into fragments.

Thereafter, the resources within the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm were completely plundered, leaving only a shattered remnant of the Primordial Chaos Realm in existence.

This shattered Primordial Fragmentary World, though broken and dilapidated, still retained traces of supreme Primordial Dao Charm. Every few tens of thousands of years, it would give birth to peerless Chaos Treasures and even the primordial Chaos Genesis Qi.

However, the Primordial Fragment was fraught with peril, bearing the forbidden killing imprints left behind by 2 Primordial Chaos Overlords.

This power of slaughter was utterly terrifying; once provoked, it would erupt completely. At that point, even the Chaos Heavenly Emperor could potentially fall because of it.

It was precisely for this reason that even the Chaos Heavenly Emperor and the Unity Dao Sovereigns dared not risk entering the Hongmeng Fragment World.

Conversely, those who had not cultivated the Great Dao of Chaos, due to their lower state and realm, would not provoke any reaction from the remnant imprint of the Chaos Lord.

"Within the Primordial Fragment Realm, only beings at the Quasi-Sage level can be accommodated at most."

Gazing upon the Primordial Chaos Fragment before them, the Undying Elder spoke slowly, "Entering it poses no issue for us. However, the fragment is fraught with unpredictable dangers. You must remember to exercise utmost caution."

Hearing this, both of them nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Elder Bujie spoke up, "This old man's physical defense is quite robust, so allow me to take the vanguard."

As the words faded, Elder Buxian was the first to step through, followed closely by Eldrin (Person Name) and the Black Abyss Emperor.

Chapter 1 Upon entering the Primordial Chaos Fragment, Eldrin immediately sensed a murderous aura rushing toward him.

But within the vast expanse of the Primordial Broken Realm, a dim and eerie violet-crimson radiance enveloped everything, casting an exceptionally sinister and dreadful atmosphere.

Seeing this, the Undying Elder recalled the origins of the Primordial Remnant Realm and said, "Legend has it that within this Primordial Remnant Realm, there once existed a being who had half a foot into the Realm of Infinity."

Originally, It should have been the ordained Chaos Sovereign, yet it was discovered while still gestating. Before it could even emerge into the world, it attracted a dreadful calamity.

After that Quasi-Chaos Dominator fell, he was completely suppressed and executed by the 2 Great Primal Dominators. Even his primordial spirit was shattered into thousands of fragments.

Chapter 1 The biting northern wind swept across the mountain peaks, carrying with it crystalline snowflakes that swirled around a solitary figure meditating atop the highest crag. Lin Feng's azure robes remained untouched by the raging blizzard, an invisible barrier defying nature's wrath. His spiritual consciousness delved deep into the dantian sea, where nascent soul energy coalesced like liquid starlight. "Senior Brother!" A voice pierced through the howling wind as a young disciple materialized from a shimmering sword glare. "The Grand Elder summons you to the Hall of Eternal Cycles." Lin Feng's eyelids lifted gradually, revealing pupils that held swirling galaxies. "Has the Heavenly Tribulation arrived ahead of schedule?" "The astrological formations show the celestial convergence will occur within 3 incense sticks' time," the junior disciple reported breathlessly, his frost-rimed cloak crackling with residual teleportation energy. "All 72,000 protective runes have been activated across the 7 peaks." Rising with the grace of a drifting leaf, Lin Feng's fingers unconsciously traced the carved hilt of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) at his waist. "The sect's destiny hinges on this moment. Notify the Array Masters to reinforce the northern quadrant - the Death Moon Constellation's trajectory will strike there first." As they ascended the glowing steps carved from primordial jade, countless disciples bowed in reverence. Their whispered prayers wove through the air like tangible threads of faith. "May the Azure Dragon's protection be upon our Senior Brother!" In the Hall of Eternal Cycles, the Grand Elder stood before the pulsating Core of Divination, his silver beard flowing like a waterfall of wisdom. "Feng'er," he spoke, his voice echoing with the weight of millennia, "the heavenly trial you face transcends ordinary tribulation. The ancient prophecies speak of this day - when a mortal shall challenge the very fabric of cosmic law." Lin Feng knelt before the elder, his forehead touching the cold obsidian floor. "This unworthy disciple seeks your guidance." "Remember," the elder's eyes gleamed with primordial fire, "when the 9 thunderbolts descend, the Heart Sutra of the Tranquil Soul must merge with the 8 Extremities Art. Your cultivation has reached the Great Perfection Stage, but the heavenly dao will test more than just your power." Suddenly, the sacred bells of the 108 prayer pagodas began ringing autonomously. The very air thickened with impending cataclysm. Lin Feng's gaze swept across the assembled elders, their solemn faces illuminated by flickering soul lamps. "Let the cosmos bear witness," he whispered, unsheathing the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure). The blade erupted in cerulean flames, its edge humming with contained devastation. High above, the clouds churned into a vortex of violet lightning. The tribulation had come.
