Chapter 2119 : Chaos Realm

Although the Ancient Map of the Barren Heavens was precious, it was by no means a unique treasure.

The Violet Firmament Immortal Sage shook his head and spoke, "This old man still possesses the Primordial Heaven Ancient Map. When the Primordial Heaven Ancient Hall emerges into the world, perhaps we could join forces, fellow Daoist, to explore that Primordial Heaven Ancient Hall together."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, gradually piecing together the chain of events in his mind.

Similar to the Celestial Forge Grotto-Heaven and the Mystic Heaven Supreme, such formidable powers often possess their own premonitions before calamity strikes.

Thus, they would leave behind a portion of their legacy to bestow upon the mighty within the chaos, serving as a hidden hand for their eventual revival and return.

The same was true for the Ancient Temple of the Wild Heavens. This lineage had left behind vast treasures, and anyone who possessed the Wild Heaven Ancient Map was qualified to seek them.

However, once they received this legacy, they would be bound by the karmic ties of signing the pledge to the Ancient Temple of the Wild Heaven. When the Supreme 1 of the Ancient Temple of the Wild Heaven lineage awakened in the future, they would be compelled to lend a helping hand.

Of course, Eldrin was currently short on resources and felt quite tempted by the opportunity presented by the Primordial Heaven Ancient Temple. It went without saying that he wouldn't let such a chance slip through his fingers.

Thus, he stored away the Desert Sky Ancient Painting (Magic Treasure) and spoke, “Since you are so sincere, Fellow Daoist, I would be remiss to decline your offer.”

"When the Primordial Heaven Ancient Palace opens, we can indeed watch each other's backs."

The Purple Firmament Immortal Sage then nodded, rose to his feet, and said with a smile, "In that case, this old man shall not impose further."

"Fellow Daoist, take care on your journey."

Eldrin rose to bid farewell to the Violet Sky Immortal Sage. Only after seeing off all the guests did he turn his gaze to the Ancient Map of Primal Heaven, falling into deep contemplation.

This Ancient Temple of the Wild Heavens possessed an extraordinary origin. In its prime, it had not only 13 Path Integration Supreme Elders, but also 1 peerless supreme being who had reached the half-step into the Infinite Realm.

Its overall strength even surpassed that of the former Sky Crucible Cave Heaven. The master of the Primordial Heaven Palace, the Primordial Heaven Supreme (Cultivator Title), possessed world-shaking combat prowess that rivaled even that of ‘Crucible’—Nameless’s disciple.

Such a colossal power held a sphere of influence far surpassing that of the Blaze Zenith lineage, having once ruled over upwards of a 1000 surrounding Chaos Domains.

In those days, the lineage of the Mystic Heaven Supreme could only dwell beneath the Shadow Heaven Ancient Palace.

In the vast expanse of the Primordial Chaos Sea, according to the timeline, it was initially ruled by the Sky Crucible Grotto-Heaven.

Later, the Heavenly Crucible Grotto-Heaven collapsed, splitting into 7 or 8 large and small Chaos Territories, each ruled by Unity Dao forces similar to the lineage of the Blazeheart Supreme.

The prophecy foretold that 1 day, the Heaven-Sundering Supreme would rise, wielding supreme power to unite these 7 or 8 Dao-Unity factions into 1, thus founding the legacy of the Heaven-Sundering Ancient Hall.

Alas, the fate of the Heaven-Sundering Supreme Monarch mirrored that of the ‘Furnace’—both fell while attempting to breach the realm of the Infinite Sovereign, ultimately succumbing to an inexorable heavenly tribulation.

After the destruction of the Huangtian lineage, the Unity Sovereigns dwelling in the primordial chaos seemed to comprehend that breaking through to the Unity Sovereign realm would likely invoke indescribable tribulations.

Thus, within this Chaos Domain, 7 Half-Step Rulers joined forces, uniting Dao Integration powers from over 10 1000 surrounding Chaos Domains to establish the superpower known as the 7 Domains Alliance.

As for the lineage of the Vast Heaven Supreme from the Vast Heaven Ruins, along with the current Blaze Zenith Supreme lineage, these were all matters that had transpired within the most recent 10 million kalpas.

"It seems those individuals are preventing the emergence of a new Chaos Sovereign."

Eldrin murmured softly, a chill flickering in his gaze.

Having experienced the path of a Nameless Sovereign, Eldrin understood in his heart why those individuals sought to prevent others from breaking through to the Sovereign realm.

For although the Chaotic Epoch stretched on for countless millennia, it too possessed an ultimate end—should 1 fail to transcend the realm of the Sovereign.

When the Chaos reaches its end and the Chaos Epoch begins anew, all existence shall cease to be. Even the Chaos Sovereign cannot transcend this fate, destined to vanish into nothingness along with the demise of Chaos.

Yet within the boundless chaos, opportunities that allow 1 to transcend the realm of the Dominator were exceedingly rare.

Some have calculated that in 1 long Chaos Epoch, there can be at most 1 or 2 opportunities to transcend the Chaos.

In such circumstances, each additional Chaos Sovereign would only mean 1 more rival for oneself.

Thus, half of the Primal Chaos Sovereigns within the primordial chaos have now tacitly reached a consensus: to prevent others from breaking through to the Chaos Realm.

The remaining Chaos Sovereigns, while they would not prevent others from attaining the Dao, also did not intervene in the obstruction of others' paths. They simply immersed themselves in secluded cultivation, detached from worldly affairs.

Only the nameless Dao Ancestor of that year, the Dao Ancestor of the fleshly body sanctification lineage, and a handful of others opposed the Dao-blocking.

Yet these individuals were ultimately few in number, unable to alter the prevailing reality where Chaos Origin Grandmasters found it nearly impossible to prove their path and attain Dominion.

Annihilation...

Eldrin murmured softly, a trace of frost gleaming in his eyes.

As the ruler who wielded the most powerful Chaos Treasure of Slaughter, the Lord of Annihilation stood among the pinnacle of Chaos Sovereigns, his combat prowess ranking within the top 5 of all Chaos Rulers.

Such a figure possessed strength that could be counted among the most formidable, and among these Chaos Rulers obstructing the path, the Ruler of Destruction stood as 1 of the foremost leaders.

Setting aside past grievances, even if Eldrin were to seek the path to becoming a Chaos Sovereign in the future, he would inevitably have to contend with this very Lord of Annihilation.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin gradually withdrew his contemplation. His current strength remained insufficient—it was better not to dwell on such matters for now.

Returning to the Abyssal Cavern, Eldrin saw that the Celestial Emperor's Ceremony had already concluded. He turned to Lyra and the others, saying, "The Celestial Emperor's Ceremony has ended. I must take my leave now to seek the Qiankun Creation Cauldron."

Lyra nodded slightly upon hearing this and inquired, "For this journey to seek the Qiankun Creation Cauldron (Magic Treasure), do you require our assistance?"

"No need, I shall go alone."

Eldrin shook his head, then said with a smile, "You should remain here to cultivate in seclusion. Above all else, prioritize your safety."

Everyone nodded and said no more.

After bidding farewell to his dao companions, Eldrin departed the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss without a trace, heading toward the vast and chaotic desolate sea.

This journey to the Chaotic Desolate Sea was no aimless search for Eldrin. Using the Creation Cauldron as his guide, he continuously performed deductions through the Great Deduction of Yin-Yang Stars Dao.

With his current level of cultivation, though unable to pinpoint the exact location of the Qiankun Ding (Supreme Treasure), he could still sense its general direction.

Thus time flowed on incessantly. Before he knew it, several kalpas had passed. Eldrin had traversed a distance of hundreds of millions of desolate paths, arriving at a chaotic barren sea teeming with Chaos Nests.

"It should be right here."

Gazing upon the vast Chaos Nest before him, Eldrin murmured softly to himself, a flicker of delight shimmering in his eyes.

He circled the Chaos Nest once and found that all his calculations pointed directly to the swirling void before him. Instantly, he confirmed: the Qiankun Ding was hidden within this chaotic domain.

However, Eldrin did not set off immediately.

He knew that the Qiankun Ding had fallen into a Chaotic Realm, and that such realms were most likely concealed within this Chaotic Nest.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

A complete Chaos Realm, even the smallest 1, should contain at least 3 strands of Chaos Primordial Qi.

If it were a medium-sized Chaos Realm, there could easily be 30 to 50 portions of Primordial Chaos Qi.

This was merely a small to medium-sized Chaos Realm. If it were a large Chaos Realm, it would often give birth to hundreds of strands of Primordial Chaos Qi, and might even nurture a superior-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure.

"It should merely be a minor Chaos Realm."

Eldrin (Person Name) calculated silently for a moment, a quiet murmur echoing in his heart, yet he couldn't help but feel a slight wave of relief.

If it were a medium-sized or larger Chaos Realm, it was highly likely to be guarded by Chaos Behemoths at the Unity Realm level. With Eldrin’s current strength alone, it would still be impossible to secure it.

However, the modest Chaos Realm should pose little challenge for Eldrin (Person Name) given his current power level, making its conquest highly probable.

Thinking of this, Eldrin did not hesitate. He ventured deep into the chaotic lair and began using the Cauldron of Creation to continuously calculate the location of the secret realm of chaos.

After continuous calculations, Eldrin finally came to a halt at the heart of a chaotic nest.

"This should be the place."

Eldrin murmured, a faint glimmer stirring in his gaze.

Yet at the heart of the Chaos Nest lay a vast emptiness, a void of pure chaos. Strangely, however, tens of thousands of other Chaos Nests orbited around it in ceaseless revolution.

This defied all logic, for clearly within that unseen void existed a chaotic celestial body of immense mass and energy.

However, the Chaos Realms were extraordinary. They resembled Chaos Nests of the primordial chaos level, yet were often far more ancient and mysterious. As such, they possessed the profound ability to obscure heavenly secrets and prevent others from peering within.

Not only that, the Chaos Realm was completely sealed off—even the Chaos Heavenly Emperor could hardly enter it.

"The mysteries of the Chaos Realm may confound others, but they cannot hold me back."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then abruptly activated the Spacetime Divine Form.

In an instant, a sundial wreathed in orbiting stars materialized behind Eldrin, then carried him beyond the confines of time and space into the primordial chaos realm before them.

Through the boundless void, Eldrin stepped onto a solid land. When he looked around, he found himself in a world where chaos had just begun to part.

"What incredibly dense Primordial Chaos Qi."

The moment his feet touched the ground, Eldrin couldn't suppress a gasp of astonishment.

Within this primordial chaos realm, an exceedingly dense Primordial Chaos Mother Qi permeated the space.

Chaos Primordial Qi is a cultivation resource of the Chaos level, akin to a more advanced form of spiritual energy and Immortal Spirit Qi.

Far purer than the chaotic seawater by a hundredfold, yet exceptionally gentle and easily absorbed. Even for the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, this was considered supreme cultivation resources.

Over the years, the Chaos Godly Liquid Eldrin (Person Name) had used for cultivation was fundamentally nothing more than liquefied Primordial Chaos Mother Qi.

Although these strands of primordial chaos qi could not compare to the Chaos Divine Liquid, their advantage lay in their near-limitless abundance. As long as the Chaos Realm remained intact, they would continue to be endlessly generated.

At this thought, Eldrin grew increasingly delighted. If he could secure this Chaos Secret Realm, a significant portion of his cultivation resources would undoubtedly be resolved.

"This Chaos Realm appears to be considerably vaster than I had anticipated."

"Let's first go and see where the Qian Kun Ding (Supreme Treasure) is."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then strode forward.

As he strolled along, Eldrin discovered that this chaotic realm was filled with treasures everywhere, with divine artifacts of the Primordial Chaos grade piled up like mountains.

Spirit herbs, immortal elixirs, and even supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures were all surprisingly commonplace here.

A primordial realm that has existed since the dawn of chaos, nurtured to this very day.

Eldrin murmured inwardly before continuing his leisurely stroll forward.

He had not traveled far before arriving at the heart of the Chaos Realm. There, he beheld a colossal cauldron drifting in a slow, rhythmic dance, steadily drawing upon the myriad Great Daos of the realm itself.

Qiankun Cauldron.

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly and reached out to seize control of the Qiankun Ding (Magic Treasure).

The Qiankun Ding struggled faintly, as if attempting to break free from Eldrin's grasp, yet it remained effortlessly suppressed by Eldrin.

Suppressing the Qiankun Ding, Eldrin finally turned his gaze toward the core of the secret realm.

In the heart of this secret realm stood an ancient apricot tree rooted at the center, its branches heavy with 9 golden celestial apricots.

Cosmic Immortal Apricot Tree.

A flicker of delight surfaced between Eldrin's brows.

This Qiankun Immortal Apricot Tree was an exceptionally rare low-grade Chaos Spiritual Root. As 1 of the world's scarcely seen Chaos Spiritual Roots, the Qiankun Immortal Apricots it bore possessed the wondrous ability to advance 1's cultivation.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, a single Heaven-Earth Immortal Apricot like this could increase an Arch-Saint's chances of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor realm by 20 percent.

If I don't break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm, using it to cultivate the tenth True Spirit Immortal Vault should still increase the success rate by 10 to 20 percent.

If 1 were to gather various Chaos Divine Artifacts and refine them into Chaos-level Immortal Pills, the medicinal efficacy could be enhanced by several times, if not more.

At this thought, Eldrin plucked the 9 Celestial Apricots before turning his gaze to the Qiankun Celestial Apricot Tree.

Due to the constraints of the Great Dao's origin, the Chaos Spirit Root could only produce 9 Heaven and Earth Immortal Apricots in its lifetime. Unless the origin of the Heaven and Earth Immortal Apricot Tree could be replenished, the tree would no longer be able to bear fruit.

Of course, the wonders of the Chaos Spiritual Root extended far beyond this. Though this Immortal Apricot tree could no longer bear fruits of Chaos grade, it could still continuously produce Immortal Apricots at the Primordial Chaos level.

Its medicinal efficacy was far inferior to that of the Chaos-grade Immortal Apricot, yet it could still be considered 1 of the most supreme Primordial Chaos immortal fruits.

Moreover, this Heaven-Earth Immortal Apricot Tree could convert the primordial seawater into Primordial Chaos Mother Qi, which was precisely why this place possessed such vast and potent Primordial Chaos Mother Qi.

"With this Heaven and Earth Immortal Apricot Tree, our lineage should be able to nurture a great number of Primordial Chaos Emperors in the future."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his gaze shifting once more to the tree beneath the Qianyuan Immortal Apricot.

Beneath the Qiankun Apricot Tree lay a thick layer of 5-colored soil, radiating dazzling light of primordial chaos.

Chaotic 5-Colored Earth.

Eldrin murmured, a faint glimmer of delight flickering across his expression.

Chaotic 5-Colored Soil, also known as Chaotic 5-Element Soil, is a supreme-grade chaotic wonder. It can not only be used to nurture spiritual roots but also for alchemy and artifact forging.

Most crucially, the Chaos 5-Colored Earth here was so abundant that it could cultivate numerous Chaos Spiritual Roots.

"With this Chaos 5-Colored Earth, if I can elevate the Heaven and Earth Primordial Vial into a mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure, perhaps I can cultivate batches of Chaos Golden Bamboo Shoots."

The so-called Chaos Golden Bamboo Shoot refers to a golden bamboo shoot of the Primordial Chaos Treasure level. Such a Chaos Golden Bamboo Shoot can be refined into a Chaos Golden Core.

The potency of that Chaos Golden Elixir was extraordinary; for those who followed the path of physical sanctification, it was considered an even higher-grade cultivation resource than Chaos Divine Liquid.

At this thought, Eldrin felt increasingly delighted in his heart.

However, compared to the 5-Colored Earth, what mattered more to Eldrin at the moment were the rare treasures within the Chaos Realm.

In the heart of the secret realm, Eldrin scavenged around and soon discovered a Chaos Pool nurturing Primordial Chaos Qi.

But within the Chaos Pool, hundreds of Chaos Treasures of varying sizes drifted and submerged in its depths.

Among them were 7 portions of Primal Chaos Qi, along with 2 Chaos Source Pearls and 3 Chaos Spiritual Treasures.

In addition, there were over 20 Primordial Treasures, more than 30 strands of Chaos Origin, and dozens of portions of Chaos Divine Liquid—amounting to a staggering total of over 300,000 drops.

Looking at these treasures, Eldrin couldn't help but reveal an expression of pleasant surprise.

Each of these treasures possessed astonishing value. Needless to say, the Primordial Chaos Qi and the Chaos Origin Pearl were priceless, while those 3 portions of Chaos Spiritual Treasures were also of incalculable worth.

1 was a Chaos Qiankun Stone, along with 2 pieces of heaven-defying Chaos Spirit Marrow.

Among these 2 treasures, the Chaos Qiankun Stone is a chaos spiritual treasure of the Qiankun attribute, capable of being forged into a chaos spiritual treasure—an incomparably precious object of staggering value.

Chaos Spirit Marrow, on the other hand, is a cultivation resource at the level of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor. It is a supreme marvel formed by the condensation of vast amounts of Chaos Origin, offering considerable benefits to those cultivating the Great Dao of Chaos.

Legend has it that when the Chaos Celestial Emperor cultivated the second Chaos Dao, refining a single Chaos Marrow could increase his breakthrough probability by at least 20 percent.

Even when breaking through to the Unity Sovereign realm, the Chaos Marrow could still exert a slight effect, making it a rare treasure that aids in breakthroughs.

The Chaos Qiankun Stone can be used to upgrade the Qiankun Primordial Vial.

"As for this Chaos Spirit Marrow, whether I use it for my own cultivation or trade it in the future, it remains a supreme treasure."

After storing away these resources, a look of deep satisfaction spread across Eldrin's face.

This expedition into the Chaotic Realm had yielded him a bountiful harvest. Even with the 3-100-fold time acceleration, his cultivation resources should remain sufficient for the next 1 1000 kalpas to come.

Not only him, but within this Chaotic Realm lay endless treasures, along with vast cultivation resources at the Primordial Unity level.

Although Eldrin looked down on these resources, they were quite adequate for nurturing his disciples. At the very least, they should sustain Eldrin's followers for quite some time.

At this thought, Eldrin turned his gaze back to the secret realm and murmured thoughtfully, "This Chaos Realm is a supreme cultivation sanctuary. It would be a true pity to abandon it."

"Why not integrate it into the Abyssal Return Grotto-Heaven?"

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, immediately resolving to act without delay.

He exerted his full strength to refine the secret realm, and after several kalpas of effort, he finally gained complete control over this chaotic domain.

After completing this step, he used the Seal of Returning Abyss to deploy a grand formation, sealing away this chaotic secret realm.

Eldrin then began his journey toward the Southern Abyss Domains. Carrying a Chaos Realm with him, he could not travel swiftly. It took him nearly a 100 kalpas to finally return to the Southern Abyss Domains.

Returning to the southern abyssal realms, Eldrin slipped back into the Return Abyss Grotto-Heaven like a shadow. There, he concealed the Chaos Realm within its depths, weaving a realm-within-a-realm formation to shroud it from prying eyes.

As a realm within a realm, the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm was profoundly concealed.

Chapter 1 The biting mountain wind whipped across the cliffside, carrying with it the scent of pine and damp earth. Lin Feng tightened his coarse hemp robe, his breath misting in the chill air. 1 100 years had passed since he first set foot on the path of cultivation, yet he remained stranded at the third layer of Qi Refining—a dozen or so years longer than most outer sect disciples. His gaze fell upon the meager pile of spirit stones gleaming dully in the moonlight: 1,327, to be exact. Barely enough for a single month of seclusion. He sighed, the sound swallowed by the vast, star-dusted sky. Countless predecessors had walked this path before him, their legends etched into the very stones of the mountain, their triumphs and failures echoing through the ages. Suddenly, a tremor ran through the earth. From the depths of the ravine, an ancient aura surged forth, carrying with it a faint, melodic hum. Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. That resonance... it felt like the call of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), an artifact lost to time for over a 1000 years. "Who goes there?" a voice, sharp as a honed blade, cut through the night. Lin Feng spun around, his hand instinctively reaching for the worn hilt of his training sword. "Just an outer sect disciple gathering herbs," he replied, his tone carefully neutral. A figure emerged from the shadows, clad in silvery robes that seemed to drink the moonlight. Eldrin (Person Name), the notoriously aloof core disciple, regarded him with icy detachment. "This area is restricted. Leave." But as Eldrin's cold gaze swept over him, a flicker of something unreadable passed through his eyes—a spark of recognition, or perhaps... calculation? The air grew heavy, thick with unspoken tension and the promise of a storm. Deep within, Lin Feng felt the stagnant energy in his dantian stir, as if awakened by some unseen force. A long-dormant power began to slowly circulate, its rhythm ancient and profound. Tonight, he sensed, the threads of fate were weaving a new pattern.
