Chapter 2127 : Chaos 100 Dragons Array
"Let's go."
Understanding this was a rare opportunity, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest. Immediately, he led the group as they stepped into the Ancient Temple of Desolate Heaven.
Just as they were heading towards the Ancient Desolate Hall, another eerie light emerged from the chaos.
The figure was clad in black calamity battle armor, shrouded in terrifying chaotic gloom. His gaze radiated overwhelming killing intent that suffused the air.
"Daoist Guixu, how intriguing..."
The man clad in black demonic armor let out a cold sneer before finally striding into the Ancient Temple of Primal Heavens.
And just after the man clad in the Black Fiend Armor stepped inside, another figure draped in a black robe strolled forth.
The man was clad in a black robe, his cultivation aura and presence already standing at the threshold of Half-Step Unity—none other than the formidable Foreign Demon Emperor, whose name shook all 100 realms of the Blazing Central Domain.
At this moment, the Otherworldly Demon Emperor gazed calmly at the Ancient Desolate Hall, his eyes remaining utterly unperturbed yet flickering with a trace of profound depth.
"Lord Chiyang, Lord Heisha, it seems the Tribulation of the Return-to-Void Daoist is truly inescapable."
"Yet the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind—fight your desperate battles. This venerable 1 shall reap the spoils of your strife and seize this very opportunity to glimpse the path toward Dao Supremacy."
With those words, he did not linger any longer, ultimately stepping into the Ancient Hall of Primal Heaven.
Just as astonishment gripped the hearts of the crowd, Eldrin had already stepped into the Ancient Temple of Desolate Heaven.
The moment Eldrin stepped into the Desolate Heaven Ancient Palace, the very heavens and earth seemed to spin, and time and space twisted into chaos in an instant.
When they finally regained their senses, they found themselves standing before an immortal palace shrouded in ethereal mists that filled the skies. Across the mountains, rivers, and heavens, countless celestial pavilions of every description stretched as far as the eye could see.
Unfortunately, these celestial halls were all shrouded in chaotic immortal mists that blocked divine sense. Even with Eldrin's current level of cultivation, it was nearly impossible to glimpse what lay within those sacred structures.
The origin of the Ancient Barren Halls derived its name from countless ancient halls.
Taishi Daozu spoke slowly, his expression grave as he began, "Legend has it that the Primordial Heaven Ancient Palace contains 8 100 immortal halls, which are broadly divided into 6 tiers."
Within these 6 celestial tiers, the first 3 housed legacies and treasures of Celestial Emperors, top-tier Celestial Emperors, and even those half-step into Dao Unity.
The final 3 levels housed only 13 immortal palaces, representing the heritage of the 13 Dao-Union Supreme Elders of the Primordial Heaven lineage—and ultimately, the legacy of the Primordial Heaven Supreme Sovereign himself.
As the Primordial Dao Ancestor spoke in measured tones, Eldrin’s understanding of the Desolate Heaven Ancient Palace grew increasingly lucid.
It turned out that since ancient times, the Primordial Heaven Ancient Palace had opened on a dozen or so occasions, and each opening attracted hordes of Chaos Heavenly Emperors to explore its depths.
However, in the vast majority of cases, the Chaos Heavenly Emperors who participated in the exploration could only venture through the first 3 layers.
后三重的十七座至尊仙殿,都有着极强的封禁,需要非常强大的实力和机缘,才有可能进入其中探索。
"Most of the treasures in the Ancient Desolate Hall lie within the final 3 levels. Having been opened over a dozen times already, few opportunities remain in the front 3 layers."
"If we wish to obtain the opportunity of Dao Union, we must venture into the final 3 layers to seek our fortune."
The Primordial Dao Ancestor finally spoke, his gaze tinged with solemnity.
Eldrin, however, showed no urgency. Instead, he gazed at the celestial palace before him and said calmly, "No need to rush. Let us first see what opportunities this place holds."
As the words faded, Eldrin stepped forward, arriving before the immortal palace that lay ahead.
Everyone raised their heads and peered through the layers of mist, where a plaque hung above the celestial palace.
Lingcang Imperial Palace.
The Primordial Dao Ancestor spoke, then continued, "The Sage of Lingcang is said to have attained the Dao as a Chaos Leviathan. Now, only a single immortal palace remains in this world."
Eldrin gave a slight nod and took the lead, guiding everyone as they stepped into the celestial palace.
The moment he stepped into the immortal palace, Eldrin gazed around and saw dozens of jade platforms arranged within the hall.
Each jade platform appeared to have once been sealed by some restriction, clearly indicating they were all places where treasures had been displayed.
However, the jade platforms now stood completely empty, clearly indicating that all the treasures had already been taken.
However, Eldrin was not disheartened. After all, the Spirit Cang Immortal Saint was merely an ordinary Chaos Heavenly Emperor, likely possessing few treasures at the chaos level. It was improbable that such precious artifacts would be left on this floor.
If all went as expected, the treasures originally housed upon these jade platforms should have been Primordial Supreme Treasures and Chaos Wonders, with no artifacts at the Chaos Spiritual Treasure level.
Thinking of this, Eldrin searched the immortal palace once more and soon arrived at a celestial herb garden.
Within the Immortal Medicine Garden grew many Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root), among which stood the Lingcang Ancient Tree—a Primordial Chaos Treasure-level spiritual root bearing a cluster of Primordial Chaos Spirit Fruits.
Eldrin did not take the Spirit Cang Ancient Tree with him, merely gathering these immortal herbs and spirit fruits before departing from the ancient hall.
Exiting the ancient hall, Grand Primordium Eldrin (Person Name) remarked, "The first level of the Primordial Heaven Hall (Location) is unlikely to harbor any superior treasures."
"Either we head to the Primordial Chaos Ancestral Pool at the core of the first layer, or we descend to the next level in search of treasures."
Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly before inquiring, "We're in urgent need of cultivation resources. Could the Primordial Chaos Ancestral Pool possibly nurture Primordial Genesis Qi?"
The Primordial Dao Ancestor pondered briefly before speaking, "The Chaos Ancestral Pool lies at the convergence of over 1 100 primordial chaos veins. Not only can it nurture vast quantities of Primordial Inception Qi, but it also gives birth to considerable amounts of Chaos Inception Qi."
"Then let us depart at once."
Without any hesitation, Eldrin disregarded these immortal palaces entirely and strode directly into the core area of the first level.
During the flight, Eldrin gained a general understanding of the layout of the first level of the Primordial Heaven Ancient Palace.
Within the entire Ancient Temple of Primordial Heaven, the first level contained approximately 6 100 ancient halls, all left behind by ordinary Chaos Heavenly Emperors of the Primordial Heaven lineage in ages past.
These celestial palaces all appeared to be formation cores, their chaotic formation patterns and grand daos interweaving to form a Great Chaos Cosmic Formation.
This formation possessed the ability to inhale and exhale chaos, continuously transforming the chaotic sea waters into primordial essence, which ultimately converged within the Chaos Ancestral Pool at its core.
And this Primal Chaos Ancestral Pool was also the most crucial energy source of the Primordial Heaven Ancient Hall.
It could be said that the entire Ancient Desolate Hall was, in fact, a colossal formation composed of 8 100 ancient temples.
Its power was sufficient to easily suppress a Unity Supreme, and even if several ordinary Half-Step Infinity experts joined forces, they would find it nearly impossible to breach its defenses.
After vaguely discerning the profound mysteries of the Ancient Temple of Primordial Heaven, Eldrin grew increasingly awestruck by the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Primordial Heaven Supreme.
In ages past, the Venerable Primordial Heaven established the Primordial Heaven Ancient Hall, evidently preparing to break through to the Chaos Sovereign realm. Yet, he gravely underestimated those who would stand in the way of his Dao.
Not only had he failed to achieve a breakthrough, but judging by the fact that the Primordial Heaven Ancient Palace remained completely unscathed, it was clear the sacred hall had offered no protection whatsoever.
"The Ancient Temple of Primal Heaven remained unscathed, yet the Primal Heaven Supreme 1 still failed in his breakthrough."
"As expected, it was likely a Sovereign who has mastered the Dao of Curses, directly striking him down with the art of curses at the very moment of his breakthrough."
Eldrin’s thoughts drifted, and he had a fair guess as to who had made the move.
Master of the Shadow Curse.
Recalling the 1 who had struck, Eldrin's pupils abruptly turned icy cold.
In the pivotal moment when Nameless was breaking through to become a Soul Dao Sovereign, he was obstructed by 7 Primal Chaos Sovereigns, among them the Cursed Yin Sovereign.
"The day shall come when I, the Venerable 1, shall settle these accounts 1 by 1."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, then slowly gathered his focus once more.
He continued striding forward, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the core area of the first level of the Ancient Temple of Desolate Heaven.
At the core before him, Eldrin discovered that the ancestral veins across the heavens had converged, transforming into a supreme domain formation coiled by a 100 dragons.
Before them stretched a breathtaking sight—over a 100 chaotic ancestral veins coiled like primordial true dragons, encircling a boundless abyssal pool in a celestial embrace.
"This is the Chaos Ancestral Pool."
The Primordial Dao Ancestor began to speak, then remarked with deep emotion, "The Chaos Ancestral Pool's origins are extraordinary. It is a land of creation forged at great cost by the lineage of the Primordial Heaven Supreme."
It is said that in order to forge this Primordial Ancestral Pool, the ancient Heaven-Sovereign of the Wilds refined over a 100 lairs of the Chaos tier into draconic veins of primordial chaos, using them as the foundation to establish a supreme grand formation of chaos.
"These primordial chaos veins resonate with the chaos immortal palaces, intertwining with infinite chaos dao principles. Thus, they can plunder the creation of heaven and earth, continuously nurturing the Primordial Chaos Primordial Qi (Chaos Origin)."
At this point, the Primordial Dao Ancestor cast his gaze into the Chaos Ancestral Pool. Within the vast expanse of the ancestral pool, the Primordial Genesis Qi filled every corner, while even the astonishingly valuable Chaos Genesis Qi was present in no small quantities.
"So much Primordial Chaos Qi, truly worthy of a million kalpas' accumulation."
Eldrin also nodded, a flicker of longing stirring within him.
With just a single glance, Eldrin perceived that the Primordial Genesis Qi in this place was as plentiful as blades of grass, amounting to no less than 100,000 strands in total.
Even the Primordial Chaos Qi was astonishing. With just a rough estimate, Eldrin calculated that it likely contained no less than over a 100 strands.
However, within the Primordial Chaos Ancestral Pool, it seemed to be enveloped by a staggering domain field. This field transformed those strands of Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi into numerous Chaos True Dragons.
These Chaos True Dragons radiated an utterly terrifying aura, each seemingly possessing the combat prowess and abilities of a top-tier Celestial Emperor.
"This is the Chaos 100 Dragons Grand Array."
Eldrin recognized the origin of this formation, his brow furrowing with grave intensity.
The so-called Chaos 100 Dragons Grand Array was a Chaos formation of the Wuji level, ranking as 1 of the 10 Supreme Slaughter Arrays of Chaos and holding the ninth position among these 10 great formations.
The fully-realized Chaos 100 Dragons Grand Array is the foremost killing formation of the Chaos Dragon lineage.
This formation possesses immense power, requiring over a 100 Dragon Sovereigns at the Harmony Dao level to jointly deploy it. Once completed, the grand formation even holds the capability to contend against a Chaos Lord.
In the bygone era, when the Nameless Dao Ancestor journeyed through the primordial chaos, he once witnessed the Chaos Dragon Clan deploying such a grand formation against their foes. At that time, the might of this formation shook the very foundations of the chaos, evoking even the admiration of the Nameless Dao Ancestor himself.
Of course, the Chaos 100 Dragons before him was merely a flawed imitation, lacking the full might of its complete form.
At that moment, Eldrin immediately recognized that the core of this formation lay in using Primordial Chaos Qi as the catalyst, converging the authority of the Great Dao of Chaos to activate the power of the Primordial Chaos Ancestral Vein.
Though the manifested Chaos 100 Dragons Grand Formation was powerful, it possessed only the form, not the soul.
Although their combat prowess could rival that of the top-tier Heavenly Emperors, they possessed no true sentience—merely the combat instincts of the Heavenly Emperor level. Thus, they were incapable of unleashing the ultimate profundity of the Chaos 100 Dragons Grand Array.
Otherwise, with over a 100 supreme Chaos True Dragons activating the grand formation, even annihilating a peak Harmony Path Supreme would be a matter of course.
"It seems this Chaos Formation is our first trial."
Eldrin spoke slowly, understanding that only by defeating the Chaos True Dragon could he obtain this Chaos Primordial Qi.
At that very moment, 1 powerful figure after another came flying through the distant void.
Eldrin looked up and saw dozens of Half-Step Unity Realm experts had arrived, including the prodigies from the 100 Domains of Chiyang such as Zixiao Immortal Sage.
The Supreme Venerable Chiyang and the others did not appear, having evidently ventured into the higher levels of the Primordial Heaven Ancient Hall in search of treasures.
40-7 Half-Step Dao Fusion masters.
Eldrin’s thoughts drifted as he observed the crowd. A half-step Dao Integration expert from the Azure Sun 100 Domains spoke up, "With 20-some half-step Dao Integration experts, our numbers are nearly sufficient."
"Since everyone is here, let us join hands and begin."
As the words fell, that person took the lead and charged directly into the Primordial Chaos Ancestral Pool.
Seeing this, the other cultivators present also soared into the skies without hesitation, charging headfirst into the Primordial Chaos Ancestral Pool.
Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) did not hesitate in the slightest. After exchanging a glance with Jiang Huang (Person Name) and the others, he spoke directly, "There's no time to waste. Let's seize the treasure first."
As the words faded, Eldrin (Person Name) immediately soared into the air and stepped into the Chaos Ancestral Pool.
Seeing this, the rest of the group also charged into the Chaos Ancestral Pool 1 after another.
"Boom—"
Stepping into the Primordial Chaos Ancestral Pool, Eldrin immediately found several ethereal Chaos True Dragons launching successive assaults.
He had no choice but to wield the Chaos Heaven Halberd with all his might, striking down several Chaos True Dragons in a single encounter. Then he turned to Lyra (Person Name) and the other 8 Celestial Emperors of the Chen Clan, declaring:
"You go seize the Primordial Genesis Qi first. Leave these Chaos True Dragons to me."
"Very well."
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
As members of the Chen Clan, they understood the vital importance of the Primordial Beginning Qi to their lineage.
After all, Eldrin possessed the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Vessel, which allowed him to cultivate Chaos Gold Bamboo Shoots in abundance using Primordial Genesis Qi. And the Chaos Gold Pills refined from these shoots were exceptionally precious cultivation resources.
The Chaos Golden Core was a resource that leaned towards the physical cultivation path, making it an indispensable key asset for both the Sage Body Refinement and the Path of Self-Offering.
In contrast, although the Primordial Chaos Qi was even more precious, after transforming into these Chaos True Dragons whose combat prowess rivaled that of top-tier Heavenly Emperors, they became exceedingly difficult to deal with.
"Let's begin."
With this thought in mind, the 9 of them did not hesitate in the slightest. They immediately soared into the Primordial Ancestral Pool and began swiftly seizing these Primordial Beginning Breaths.
In stark contrast, the Half-Step Dao Fusion experts high above in the firmament disdained these Primordial Beginning Qi, instead throwing themselves into desperate battle against the Chaotic True Dragon.
However, when they discovered that the Chen Clan members were all gathering Primordial Qi, every 1 of them revealed expressions of astonishment.
Plundering the Primordial Qi.
High above the heavens, the Lord of the 9 Dragons' Nest rode upon the Primordial Dragon Spear, striking across all directions as he sent a Chaos True Dragon reeling with grievous wounds.
He then glanced back at the Chen Clan members, a trace of mockery curling at the corners of his lips. "Since you lack the confidence to subdue the Primordial Chaos True Dragon, you’ve settled for scavenging the Primordial Genesis Qi. At least you know your limits."
Chapter 1 The biting cold wind howled across the icy plains, carrying with it the scent of blood and decay. A lone figure knelt in the crimson-stained snow, his black robes torn and tattered. Lin Feng's breathing was ragged, each exhale forming misty clouds in the freezing air. "After 30 1000 years... I've finally returned," he whispered, his voice hoarse yet filled with overwhelming emotion. His fingers dug into the frozen ground, the cold barely registering against the burning hatred in his heart. Memories flooded back - the betrayal by his most trusted disciple, the ambush at the 9 Serenities Abyss, his spiritual foundation shattered just as he was about to break through to the Emperor Realm. He had fallen from the pinnacle of the cultivation world to the very bottom in mere moments. "Eldrin..." The name left a bitter taste in his mouth. That ungrateful disciple who had coveted his 3 Revolutions Soul Pearl and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss. That traitor who had conspired with the Moon-Washing Sect to orchestrate his downfall. With great effort, Lin Feng attempted to circulate what little spiritual energy remained in his body. The result was immediate and agonizing - his meridians screamed in protest, the damaged pathways unable to handle even the faintest flow of energy. He was nothing but a cripple now. A former Supreme Elder of the Profound Heaven Sect, reduced to a mere mortal barely clinging to life. Just as despair threatened to consume him, a faint golden light flickered deep within his consciousness. The Ancient Jade Pendant that had accompanied him since his first days of cultivation was reacting, its surface now covered in intricate patterns that hadn't been there before. "A legacy..." Lin Feng's eyes widened in realization. This was no ordinary spiritual tool. The patterns formed characters of an ancient scripture - the Primordial Chaos Art. His heart raced as he comprehended the profound method. This was no common cultivation technique circulating in the current era. This was a primordial method that could reconstruct 1's foundation, potentially even creating the legendary Chaos Body said to have been possessed by the primordial gods. But the requirements were staggering. The first stage alone required 1 100 1000 spirit stones and 3 Heaven-Reversal Pills just to begin. For his current state, such resources might as well have been the moon in the sky - visible but utterly unreachable. "Still, this is hope," Lin Feng murmured, his gaze firming with renewed determination. He had climbed from nothing to the peak once before. He could do it again. Suddenly, his senses alerted him to approaching figures. 3 cultivators dressed in grey robes emerged from the swirling snow, their eyes gleaming with malicious intent. "Look what we have here," the leader sneered, his gaze fixed on Lin Feng's waist where a storage pouch still hung. "A wounded dog left out in the cold." Lin Feng's mind raced. These were merely at the third level of Qi Condensation - ants in his previous life. But now... The leader drew his sword, its blade gleaming coldly. "Hand over your possessions and we might let you die quickly." A cold smile touched Lin Feng's lips. They thought him an easy target, a cripple waiting for death. They didn't know they were facing a former powerhouse who had shaken the very foundations of the cultivation world. Even a dragon must show restraint when beached. But sometimes, even a beached dragon could still summon 1 final tempest. His fingers subtly traced patterns in the snow, drawing upon the last vestiges of spiritual energy he had been preserving - the final trump card he had prepared for just such a situation. The battle would be costly, but survival demanded no less.
