Chapter 2121 : Seraphina Qu (Person Name) Sacrifices Herself

Eldrin gave a slight nod, having roughly discerned the depths of Seraphina Qu's current cultivation foundation.

Ever since she first resolved to switch to the Path of Self-Offering, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) had begun cultivating various foundational arts, preparing to achieve the most flawless foundation.

And now, after enduring hundreds of kalpas in the outside world and over 100,000 kalpas of secluded cultivation within the Abyssal Sanctuary, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) had finally pushed all her foundations to their absolute limits.

She had already forged the 9 great Primordial Chaos Treasures, which were none other than the set of slaughter treasures known as the 9 Ultimate Spirit-Severing Swords.

Beyond that, among the 3 foundational pillars Seraphina Qu currently cultivates, her physical body foundation had already reached the Emperor Realm.

He had already cultivated 9 great Dao divine forms as the foundation of his path. Through years of cultivation, his soul foundation had reached near-sublime perfection, having opened a full 6 true spirit apertures.

Moreover, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) possessed 9 soul avatars, each inheriting 1 of her chaotic bloodlines. These avatars cultivated distinct Great Dao divine forms, and all had attained the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm.

According to Eldrin's estimation, once these 9 soul fragments were integrated, Seraphina Qu stood an overwhelming chance of cultivating the 9 True Spirit Acupoints within her primordial spirit.

The only regret was that, lacking the aid of the 9-Aperture Divine Stone, Seraphina Qu had failed to cultivate a Primordial Spirit Treasure, leaving her foundation slightly lacking by half a measure.

With such a foundation, even within the vast expanse of the 100 Realms of Chiyang, he would rank among the most elite.

If he were to break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm in this manner, while it might not guarantee ascension to the level of a Unity Supreme in the future, attaining combat prowess surpassing that of a top-tier Heavenly Emperor should be well within reach.

Understanding this, Eldrin declared, "The Path of Self-Sacrifice never required a Soul Tower. Now that I've cultivated a True Spirit Soul, I shall seize this opportunity to complete the Path of Self-Sacrifice."

Seraphina Qu nodded. Without further hesitation, she stepped directly into the Qiankun Ding of Creation and began preparing to cultivate the Path of Self-Sacrifice.

Lyra (Person Name), Cyan Princess (Person Name), and the others nearby all grew solemn upon witnessing this.

Especially Lila (Person Name), Yan Zij (Person Name), and the others—their gazes all revealed a trace of anxiety.

Both of them possessed limited innate talent. After breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor realm, their progress would inevitably stagnate, likely leaving them permanently stranded at the early stage of Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.

Even if Eldrin (Person Name) spared no expense in nurturing them, their hope of breaking through to become a Unity Supreme remained exceedingly slim.

In such circumstances, whether they could switch to the Sacrificial Self Path before breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor realm and defy the heavens to forge peerless, unparalleled talent would determine their ultimate achievements in the days to come.

Therefore, regarding Seraphina Qu's Path of Self-Sacrifice, they held immense anticipation in their hearts, yet also grew increasingly apprehensive that some unforeseen variable might arise.

"Husband, I am ready."

At that very moment, the voice of Seraphina Qu (Person Name) rang out.

Eldrin nodded slightly, his gaze intensifying as he spoke with profound clarity, "Having first merged your 9 divided souls, you must cultivate the 9 True Spirit Acupoints to achieve greater certainty in completing the final Sacrificial Ascension."

"Very well."

Seraphina Qu nodded slightly, immediately urging her 9 split souls to merge as she began to impact the final 3 True Spirit Acupoints.

It must be admitted that Seraphina Qu (Person Name), as a peerless genius with a Chaos Root, possessed talents and potential that could truly be described as heaven-bestowed.

Among Eldrin's current Dao Companions, nearly every 1 of them has cultivated the Soul Division Art, yet those capable of refining 9 Emperor-level soul clones remain exceedingly rare.

The reason for this was that the divided souls they had created lacked sufficient innate talent. More often than not, they would reach the realm of the Primordial Emperor only to find their progress stagnating, with almost no possibility of cultivating to the late stage of the Primordial Emperor.

Under such circumstances, even after expending over a 100 1000 kalpas and consuming truly colossal resources, they still remained incapable of cultivating 9 Emperor-Realm soul avatars.

In contrast, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) possessed the extraordinary Chaos 9-Colors Bloodline, with each hue representing a supreme Great Dao.

She divided the 9 great Daos, giving birth to 9 split souls possessing the bearing of Great Emperors. The difficulty of cultivating these 9 Great Emperor split souls was reduced by no less than a hundredfold compared to others.

"When I have cultivated the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos Reincarnation, it will be time to further refine the Soul Division Art to a higher realm, thereby forging the most powerful primordial spirit."

Eldrin's thoughts drifted for a moment, but he swiftly reined them in.

He channeled the Cosmic Genesis Grand Formation, pushing the profundity of the Cosmic Genesis Cauldron to its absolute limits to assist Seraphina Qu (Person Name) in merging her 9 fragmented souls.

As time flowed on, after what seemed an unknowable span, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) finally merged all 9 divided souls into 1, commencing the ultimate metamorphosis of her soul cultivation.

"Boom—"

In an instant, the Void of Uselessness was torn asunder. Across the endless expanse of time and space, the Eternal True Spirit spanned countless epochs, descending innumerable True Spirit Seals.

Seraphina Qu's primordial spirit soared into the air, beginning to continuously absorb these true spirit imprints until they all merged into her final 2 True Spirit Acupoints.

"Bzzz—"

Meanwhile, far within the Blazing Central Chaos Realm, the Mirror of Heavenly Derivation trembled violently, glimpsing the pivotal moment of Seraphina Qu (Person Name)'s breakthrough.

In an instant, all the Celestial Emperors of the Primordial Chiyang Domain were stirred, gathering 1 after another before the Mirror of Heavenly Derivation.

"You dare to break through in the 100 Realms of Flaming Yang, such audacity."

"Who dares to breakthrough? We shall go and suppress them completely."

Several Chaos Heavenly Emperors felt a chill run down their spines at this sight.

Just as these Chaos Heavenly Emperors were enraged, a figure clad in golden imperial robes approached.

He cast a glance at the Yan Tian Mirror, a trace of icy resolve finally surfacing in his expression as he declared, "Let this matter end here. All of you, withdraw."

As the words faded, the golden-robed figure had already turned and departed.

"We bid farewell to the Supreme 1."

The Celestial Emperors snapped back to reality, hastily rising to their feet and cupping their hands in salute as the Blazing Zenith Supreme departed.

After the departure of Supreme Venerable Chiyang, the Celestial Emperors exchanged bewildered glances. Suddenly, 1 of them spoke up, "What manner of being is this, to even give a Supreme Venerable pause?"

Everyone present exchanged bewildered glances, and it was at this very moment that the Emperor of Endless Stone leisurely approached.

He glanced at the celestial secrets revealed within the Yantian Mirror, a trace of apprehension flashing in his eyes as he murmured, "Even if a Supreme Being were to personally intervene, capturing the 3 Extremes Primordial Domain would be far from guaranteed."

Upon hearing this, the gathered Heavenly Emperors finally revealed a trace of apprehension.

Today, the Tri-Polar Primal Domain has become 1 of the mightiest Chaos Domains within the 100 Domains of Blazing Zenith. Even if the Blazing Zenith Sovereign were to take action personally, it would likely be exceedingly difficult to subdue this primal domain.

For the 3 Poles Primal Domain was a major primal domain, guarded by 9 Chaos Heavenly Emperors, not to mention a Half-Step Dao Fusion realm expert.

Such a formidable Primal Immortal Realm—if it were merely defending, unless the Blazeheart Primal Realm launched a full-scale invasion, there would be no possibility of them conquering the Tri-Polar Primal Realm.

"It seems the Abyssal Return Sect has truly become a calamity lurking in our midst."

The Emperor of Unyielding Extremity murmured in his heart before catching up to the Supreme Lord of Blazing Center. With a reverent expression, he spoke, "Master!"

"Hmm."

Supreme Immortal Chiyan nodded, then spoke, “The Daoist of the Returning Abyss possesses extraordinary potential and treads a Great Dao that stands in opposition to my own. Should he break through to the realm of Unity Supreme, he would likely become a dire threat to this old man.”

"I wish to suppress him, but I am constrained by the major powers. I fear it will be difficult to achieve my goal. Do you have a way to capture him?"

The Primal Zenith Emperor pondered briefly before speaking, "Given the strength of the Daoist of the Returning Abyss, even if you were to take action personally, Honored Master, it would likely be impossible to subdue him within the Southern Abyss."

"To subdue it, we must await the opportune moment to suppress it beyond the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss."

Lord Chiyang nodded thoughtfully, then remarked, "After 3 1000 kalpas, the ruins of the Primordial Heaven Palace should open."

"Within it lies the opportunity to break through to the Supreme Unity Realm. I believe he would never pass up this chance."

Understanding his meaning, the Monolith Supreme Emperor let out a cold laugh. "The Void-Reversion Daoist has cultivated all 5 branches of the Limitless Great Dao. I believe we have several natural allies."

"Not bad."

Supreme Venerable Chiyang nodded, then said with a smile, "This matter shall be entrusted to you."

Eldrin remained unaware of Supreme Immortal Chiyang's intricate schemes.

At this moment, he gazed at Seraphina Qu (Person Name), who had just completed her breakthrough, and a faint smile graced his lips. "With you having cultivated the 9 true spirit apertures, my lady, it appears the Sacrificial Ascension is as good as accomplished."

A faint smile also appeared on Seraphina Qu (Person Name)'s lips. After mastering the 9 Great True Spirit Divine Abilities, she felt her primordial spirit had grown unprecedentedly powerful.

It was an absolute sense of control—she could now completely command every foundation of her being: her physical form, spiritual energy, the Great Dao, and even her Dao Fruit.

Whether 1 can cultivate the Sacrificial Self Path has profound connections to the alignment of celestial timing, geographical advantages, and human harmony.

However, the most crucial point was whether the soul of the person performing the Sacrificial Art was sufficiently powerful.

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) now possessed a soul cultivation that defied the natural order, having reached a realm comparable to the Non-Ultimate Demi-Sage. The only barrier standing between her and the breakthrough to become a Soul Dao Celestial Emperor was the lack of a single soul-nurturing treasure.

If the previous Seraphina Qu (Person Name), even with the assistance of the Qiankun Creation Cauldron (Magic Treasure), had only a 30 to 40 percent certainty of completing the Sacrificial Self ritual.

Now, with the help of the Qiankun Creation Cauldron, her certainty of completing the Sacrificial Self had reached over 90-5 percent.

At this thought, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) did not hesitate in the slightest. She immediately began harnessing the full power of the Cosmic Creation Cauldron (Magic Treasure) to realign the very foundations of her entire being.

In an instant, Seraphina Qu's heaven-reaching cultivation began to boil, gradually being sacrificed bit by bit.

That immortal Emperor's physique, the indestructible Dao Fruit, the magic power that swept through all heavens, and the Great Dao that awed the vast primordial chaos—all were sacrificed.

These foundations transformed into the purest essence, gradually merging into the soul of Seraphina Qu (Person Name).

Seeing this, Eldrin hastily retrieved various rare and priceless treasures, integrating them as supplementary materials into the cauldron to assist Seraphina Qu in completing her cultivation of the Path of Self-Devotion.

Each of these rare treasures was a peerless marvel of the world, among which were even artifacts of the Chaos Origin level—Chaos-grade wonders.

After a moment's hesitation, Eldrin even reluctantly placed a Chaos Jade Marrow into the Qiankun Creation Cauldron.

That Chaos Jade Marrow possessed heaven-defying value, bit by bit transforming into the purest chaotic energy that was absorbed by Seraphina Qu (Person Name), gradually enhancing her potential and innate talent.

Even within the vast Chaotic Realm, immense amounts of Primordial Yellow Qi and Chaotic Divine Liquid were absorbed by her, all transformed into nourishment for her cultivation.

No 1 knew how much time had passed when, as the radiance within the cauldron grew increasingly dazzling, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) ultimately transformed into a 9-colored immortal cocoon.

No, as the Qiankun Creation Cauldron continued its refinement, the 9-colored immortal cocoon underwent a supreme transformation, ultimately evolving into an immortal cocoon radiating 10 distinct hues.

"An additional Great Dao has manifested?"

Witnessing this scene, a look of astonishment flickered across Yan Zi Ji’s face.

Yet Eldrin’s gaze flickered subtly as he spoke, “Sacrificing my Dao means sacrificing everything, allowing her to break past her original limits and nurture a newborn Great Dao from her foundation.”

"She has transcended the limits of the Immortal Clam race, perhaps becoming the first 10-Colors Chaos Immortal Clam in history."

"Bzzz—"

As Eldrin's voice faded, the immortal cocoon slowly cracked open, ultimately revealing a fairy maiden of peerless elegance.

Seraphina Qu stood there in her flowing dress, a presence so divine and peerless that it seemed to transcend the ages.

Behind her, 10 divine forms of the Great Dao slowly circled, while 10 immortal treasuries were gradually cleaved open.

Those 10 great Dao divine forms slowly merged with the immortal vaults, ultimately transforming into 10 peerless True Spirit Immortal Vaults that would awe all ages.

Eldrin was astonished to discover that Seraphina Qu's 10 Great True Spirit Immortal Treasures had actually evolved from her original 9 primordial spirit acupoints, each containing 9 True Spirit Divine Abilities within.

Within the newly born tenth Immortal Vault, there also existed a True Spirit Divine Art—'10 Annihilations Immortal Radiance.' This was a supreme Chaos Divine Art conceived at the very moment her bloodline ascended, transforming her into a 10-Colored Immortal Clam.

Husband.

Seraphina Qu murmured softly, unable to restrain herself from throwing herself into Eldrin's embrace, a flicker of ecstasy rising within her heart.

Seeing this, Eldrin could not help but feel a trace of genuine emotion.

"Excellent. Your future potential is now truly limitless."

It must be admitted that Seraphina Qu's (Person Name) innate talent was now truly heaven-defying.

The 10-Colors Immortal Clam, a unique entity born of chaos, innately nurtures the 10-Colors Supreme Dao of the Infinite. This signifies a sliver of potential to tread the realm of the Infinite Sovereign.

Though there was but a sliver of possibility, with Seraphina Qu's (Person Name) aptitude of the 10-Color Immortal Clam, her chances of reaching the realm of Unity Supreme were as sure as ninepence.

Under such circumstances, having successfully cultivated the 10 great true spirit immortal vaults of the Path of Self-Devotion, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) could now break through to the Chaos Realm and immediately rank among the foremost of the Chaos Heavenly Emperors.

Should she successfully cultivate the Inner Immortal Domain, simultaneously ascend to the Primal Immortal Domain, and ultimately merge the 10 Great True Spirit Immortal Vaults into 1 to step into the Chaos Realm, Seraphina Qu's potential and power would become truly boundless.

That would be the true form of the Infinite, theoretically speaking. With no shortage of resources and no 1 obstructing her path, the likelihood of Seraphina Qu (Person Name) stepping into the realm of the Infinite would be no less than 30 percent.

Understanding this, Eldrin felt a surge of joy in his heart. He took Seraphina Qu’s hand and said, “First, consolidate your cultivation. I’ll take this opportunity to refine the Inner Immortal Domain method of the Sacrificial Dao.”

"When the time comes, you may try again to see if you can become the first to break through the Chaos by sacrificing your dao."

Seraphina Qu smiled faintly at his words, yet instead of immediately entering seclusion for cultivation, she took Eldrin's hand and said, "My lord's kindness is beyond what I could ever repay. Pray allow this humble wife to keep you company a while longer."

Eldrin was momentarily taken aback. Before he could gather his thoughts, Seraphina Qu pulled him into the cavern abode.

许是感念Eldrin (Person Name)的真心,今夜的Seraphina Qu (Person Name)格外主动,连带着宴紫姬和Lila (Person Name)等人都主动了许多。

After an unknowable span of time had passed, Eldrin emerged from his contemplation of the Dao of Yin-Yang Harmony, a complex tapestry of emotions coloring his expression.

It must be admitted that the 10-Color Chaos Immortal Clam's innate talent and foundation truly possessed extraordinary potential. Through dual cultivation, it brought considerable benefits to his current level of cultivation.

However, Eldrin did not continue to wallow in despair. He extracted himself from the comforts of the gentle embrace and began secluded cultivation to study the method of the inner immortal realm within the Path of Sacrificing the Self.

Time slipped by swiftly during Eldrin's seclusion. Unbeknownst to all, hundreds of kalpas had already passed since the advent of the external tribulation.

Although Eldrin had further perfected the method of the Inner Immortal Realm, he discovered that the final crucial step to advancing to the Primordial Immortal Realm still eluded him.

"To ascend to the Primal Immortal Realm, the key lies in forging 1's own Great Dao."

"Yet this final step, I simply cannot find any leads."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a faint furrow forming between his brows as a trace of bewilderment surfaced in his heart.

With his current foundation, cultivation, and attainments, he should have been able to perfect the method to ascend to the Primordial Immortal Realm. Yet, he remained perpetually stalled at the final step, unable to complete it.

The fundamental reason was that Eldrin had never witnessed the birth of a new Primordial Domain, nor had he glimpsed the most critical process of the Chaos Immortal Realm ascending to a Primordial Immortal Realm.

Yet within the vast chaos, there existed no Primordial Immortal Realm ascended from the Hunyuan Immortal Domain. How could Eldrin possibly find this crucial step of ascension?

"No, perhaps there is a way."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his thoughts drifting back to the Great Barren Ancient Realm.

The Great Barren Ancient Realm was originally a primordial celestial domain, but it had fallen to the quasi-primordial level after enduring a great calamity.

If Eldrin (Person Name) could restore the status of the Great Barren Ancient Realm, he might just find the opportunity to ascend to the Primal Domain.

"By my reckoning, the appointed time of 1 1000 kalpas draws near."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then began to cultivate in seclusion while awaiting the arrival of the Indestructible Primordial Realm of the Eternal Elder to the 8 Domains of the Southern Abyss.

Thus time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of kalpas had passed.

Until this day, 2 majestic auras arrived 1 after another at the edge of the Endless Chaotic Abyssal Sea.

The Celestial Emperors of the 8 Domains of Southern Abyss emerged from seclusion 1 after another, their gazes drawn to the 2 colossal auras. In an instant, they realized these were 2 immense ancient realms.

Among the 2 ancient domains, 1 was the Immemorial Primordial Domain, radiating a resplendent and majestic aura so brilliant that it remained dazzling even across hundreds of desolate pathways.

The other was the Great Barren Ancient Realm, though it was far weaker than the former, with its influence extending no more than a distance of 10 Barren Routes.

At this moment, 2 ancient realms tore through the primordial chaos, ultimately merging with the territories of the 8 Domains of Southern Abyss.

"Finally, you're here."

Seeing the arrival of the 2 ancient domains, Eldrin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, he immediately rose and arrived within the chaos, where he witnessed the Undying Elder and the Samsara Avatar soaring into the air, appearing beside Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin smiled faintly, then cupped his hands toward Immortal Venerable Neverdie and said, "Fellow Daoist, your efforts these days are greatly appreciated."

"Haha, after nearly a 1000 kalpas of time, this old master has finally reached the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss."

The Undying Elder let out a hearty laugh before turning his gaze to the Celestial Emperors standing behind Eldrin (Person Name), greeting each of them in turn.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) turned to the emperors of the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss and declared, "There's no time to lose. We must begin setting up the grand formation at once."

"Very well."

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Emperors present immediately began constructing a colossal Chaos Formation, using the 9 Primordial Domains and the Great Desolate Ancient Realm as its foundation.

Chapter 1 The biting mountain wind whipped across the cliffside, carrying with it the scent of pine and damp earth. Lin Chen gritted his teeth, his knuckles white as he gripped the rough stone ledge. Below him, a sea of clouds churned, obscuring the treacherous depths of the ravine. He had been climbing for what felt like an eternity, his body pushed to its absolute limit. "Just a little further," he whispered to himself, the words snatched away by the gale. "The legacy of the Fallen Star Sage must be near." His robes, once fine but now tattered and stained, flapped wildly around him. He was a mere Qi Condensation stage cultivator, barely stronger than a mortal, yet he dared to seek the inheritance of a legendary figure. Desperation was a powerful motivator. His clan, the once-prosperous Lin Family, had been reduced to ashes, and he was the last remnant, a spark refusing to be extinguished. With a final, grunting heave, he pulled himself over the ledge and collapsed onto a small, flat platform. His chest heaved as he sucked in the thin, spiritual energy-laden air. Before him, hidden by a clever illusion formation that shimmered now in the fading light, was the mouth of a cave. Pushing aside the cascading vines that served as its veil, Lin Chen stepped inside. The air within was still and cool, thick with the dust of ages. The cavern was not large, and in its center, seated in the lotus position upon a simple stone dais, was a skeletal figure clad in pristine white robes. This was the Fallen Star Sage, who had perished here 10 1000 years ago during his Heavenly Tribulation. A simple spatial ring gleamed on 1 bony finger. With a trembling hand and a heart pounding against his ribs, Lin Chen reached for it. As his fingers brushed against the cold metal, a surge of spiritual sense, ancient and vast, flooded his mind. *Young 1... you have passed the first trial by reaching this place. My legacy is yours... but with it comes a great burden. The path of cultivation is paved with thorns, and my enemies are countless. Do you accept?* Lin Chen did not hesitate. "I accept." His voice, though quiet, was firm, echoing his unwavering resolve in the silent cavern. The spiritual sense seemed to sigh, a whisper of wind through long-dead halls. *So be it.* A torrent of information exploded within Lin Chen's consciousness: the complete cultivation manual, the [9 Revolutions Stellar Tome]; the memories of the Sage's life, his battles, his insights; and the profound sense of loneliness that came with immense power. When the deluge subsided, Lin Chen found his own consciousness had expanded, his spiritual sense refined far beyond his current realm. He focused on the ring. With a thought, he probed its interior space. His breath hitched. Inside lay a dazzling hoard: stacks of 32,000 spirit stones, glowing with pure energy; several dozen Qi Restoration Pills, each 1 a treasure that could save a life in battle; and a single, sheathed longsword, its scabbard plain and unadorned. He willed the sword into his hand. The moment his fingers closed around the hilt, a name appeared in his mind: Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure). Drawing the blade a finger's width, he was blinded by a flash of crimson light. The air hummed with contained power, and the temperature in the cave rose sharply. This was no ordinary magic treasure; its aura was profound, hinting at depths of power he could not yet comprehend. He sheathed the sword, his mind racing. This changed everything. With these resources, he could advance rapidly. He could reclaim his family's honor. He could seek vengeance. Suddenly, a sharp, mocking voice cut through the silence from the cave entrance. "Well, well, what do we have here? A little rat has found a piece of cheese." Lin Chen spun around, swiftly storing the ring and sword. Standing at the entrance, blocking his only exit, were 3 cultivators. They wore the grey robes of the nearby Profound Sky Sect, and their leader, a sharp-faced young man with a cruel twist to his mouth, was sneering at him. The leader's eyes scanned the cave, lingering on the skeletal remains of the Sage before returning to Lin Chen. "Hand over whatever you found, boy. A Qi Condensation trash like you doesn't deserve such fortune. Kneel, kowtow, and we might let you leave with your life." Lin Chen's heart hammered, but his face remained a mask of calm. Despair threatened to choke him, but it was quickly replaced by a cold, hard knot of determination. He had just inherited the legacy of a Sage. He would not die here. He would not kneel. He met the leader's gaze, his own eyes now holding a glint of starlight, deep and ancient. "No."
