Chapter 2137 : 9 Great Chaos Divine Powers

Seeing this, the Supreme Abyss Immortal finally retrieved the Heaven’s Heart Divine Liquid and spoke, “I am well aware that the Chaos Azure Lotus is far more precious, yet not even the Primordial Chaos Qi can revive it.”

"Surely, you must have paid a tremendous price for this as well."

Eldrin smiled faintly, offering no further remarks on the subject.

He pondered briefly before speaking, "With this Heaven-Mind Divine Nectar, Fellow Daoist, if you go into seclusion in the Guixu Grotto-Heaven for tens of thousands of kalpas, breaking through to the Half-Step Unity realm should no longer be an issue."

The Grand Abyss Immortal Sage smiled faintly and could not help but remark, "In that case, I shall not tarnish this profound kindness with mere words of gratitude."

Eldrin then exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Primordial Abyss Immortal Sage before finally returning to the Chaotic Realm within the Void-Sundering Grotto-Heaven.

After returning to the secret realm, Eldrin discovered that Lyra and the others were in secluded cultivation. Without disturbing them, he retreated alone to his cave abode to organize his thoughts.

This journey to the Desolate Heaven Realm had brought Eldrin immense gains.

His primary cultivation in the Chaos Indestructible Body, the Great Dao of Limitless Chaos, and his soul cultivation had all made significant progress.

Among them, the Chaos Indestructible Body had made the greatest progress, showing signs of having reached the Half-Step Dao Unity realm, possessing combat prowess comparable to a Dao Unity Supreme.

However, to advance further, Eldrin must now merge the 3 Chaos Godforms within him, unifying them into the supreme Chaos Sovereign Godform.

"Integrating the Chaos Forms is an immensely difficult task. Moreover, most of my Chaos Forms have evolved from Ultimate Forms. With my current soul cultivation level, I'm afraid achieving this would be extremely challenging."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a trace of solemnity flickering in his gaze.

Among his 5 great Chaos Divine Forms, the Chaos Giant Cauldron was forged from the fusion of the 5 Extremes True Spirit Divine Forms, while the remainder were all Ultimate Divine Forms.

These ultimate divine forms were all supremely powerful, yet their compatibility with 1 another was not particularly high.

After all, divine forms such as Annihilation, Oblivion, Space-Time, and Primordial Chaos were all supreme ultimate manifestations, each possessing the transcendent pride of a Great Path that stands unrivaled. How could they readily merge with other divine forms?

To cultivate the ultimate divine form, Eldrin had but 1 path—to forcibly merge these supreme forms through sheer force of primordial spirit and profound cultivation.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, to achieve this level, he would need to cultivate his soul cultivation base to at least the Half-Step Dao Unity Realm and master all 9 Chaos Divine Abilities.

By then, Eldrin's soul cultivation would possess combat power capable of defying even a Supreme Being, enabling him to fully suppress the power of his physical body and achieve complete fusion of these 5 divine forms.

"My physical cultivation has reached a bottleneck, making it difficult to advance further in a short time."

"In the short term, only the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit and the comprehension of the Great Dao can make sufficient progress."

Eldrin's thoughts drifted, then he sensed his primordial spirit and his cultivation in the Great Dao. Between these 2 foundations, his mastery of the Great Dao was likely the easiest to break through.

During this expedition into the Chaotic Desolate Sea, Eldrin had successively slain 3 great adversaries of the Dao, acquiring an astonishing degree of authority over the Dao.

Eldrin had now attained supreme authority over the 3 great Daos: Life, Primal Gold, and Profound Darkness.

In such circumstances, Eldrin could already project his primordial spirit into the Ocean of Grand Dao, contending directly at the very source for dominion over these 3 Great Daos.

There is also the Great Dao of Pure Yang Celestial Fire. The Primordial Spirit of the Blazing Zenith Supreme was likely devoured by the Outer Realm Demon Emperor. Even though his Primordial Spirit, anchored within the Great Dao, remains indestructible and immortal, it must have been severely weakened.

If Eldrin were to gather the complete authority of the Pure Yang Heavenly Flame at this moment and directly initiate a battle of cosmic principles, even the remnant soul of the Supreme Chi Yang would likely be unable to withstand the soul cultivation of Eldrin's Heavenly Emperor realm.

"As long as we gather sufficient authority, these 4 Primordial Infinite Great Daos will be ours for the taking."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, yet after a moment of contemplation, he set aside the thought of immediately contending for the Authority of the Great Dao.

Although the 4 great Daos of Authority were already within his grasp, to be absolutely certain, he decided to further elevate his Primordial Spirit cultivation.

When his soul cultivation reaches the Half-Step Unity stage, seizing these avenues of cosmic authority would be as certain as having 9 out of 10 in the bag.

At this thought, Eldrin pondered for a moment before retrieving several portions of Chaos Spirit Treasures.

There were a total of 8 spiritual treasures: Chaos Jade Marrow, Chaos Primordial Qi, Samsara Stone, Stone of Eons, Spatial Jade Marrow, Chaos Aurora, and the Cosmic Derivation Stone, among other chaos wonders.

These rare and wondrous treasures, each unique in its own way, were all prepared by Eldrin (Person Name) for cultivating the Chaos Divine Ability.

Eldrin first summoned his Reincarnation Body, then handed over the Reincarnation Stone, saying, "With this artifact in hand, can you comprehend the Dao of Reincarnation?"

The Reincarnation Body’s pupils abruptly contracted, then he spoke: “With this object in hand, I can cultivate the Great Dao of Reincarnation. However, I must integrate it into the ‘Reincarnation Bell’.”

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and said, "I shall lend you a helping hand."

As the words fell, Eldrin directly retrieved the Samsara Bell—the natal spirit treasure of his Samsara Body—and channeled his supreme cultivation to refine the Samsara Stone.

A long time later, the Wheel of Reincarnation Bell finally completed its ascension, transforming into a supreme Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) shook his head regretfully and said, "What a pity that my cultivation is insufficient to unleash the full power of the Reincarnation Stone. I can only refine it into a lower-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure."

"In the future, should you wish to elevate it to a mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure, you must devote yourself to further refinement."

"That will suffice."

The Reincarnation Body spoke unhurriedly, then promptly stored away the Reincarnation Bell and proceeded to enter seclusion.

Watching the reincarnated body depart into the distance, Eldrin fell into deep contemplation.

As the Path of Self Sacrifice grew ever more powerful, the combat prowess and potential of the reincarnation bodies became increasingly astonishing. Now, the divine manifestations of the great dao from the Path of Self Sacrifice had surpassed 30-8 in number.

If the Samsara Body were to prove the Dao through this chaos, it could ascend to the heavens in a single step and reach the realm of the Unity Dao Supreme.

However, Eldrin was not content with this, for the Primordial Chaos Dao at the innate level offered greater plasticity—the perfect moment for rapid refinement.

As the Path of Self Sacrifice continues to spread and refine itself, it can be foreseen that in the future it will give birth to 70-2, or even 80-1, grand divine forms of the Dao.

At that moment, the Reincarnation Body would likely be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step, directly reaching the realm of the Limitless Supreme Ruler.

However, this ultimately required an exceedingly long period of time. During this span, having the Reincarnation Body cultivate the Great Dao of Reincarnation and use this very Dao to break through to the realm of Chaos Heavenly Emperor would perfectly compensate for the Reincarnation Body's lack of cultivation.

"When the Dao of Reincarnation reaches the Chaos Realm, I should be able to fully perfect that technique."

Eldrin's (Person Name) gaze flickered briefly before he swiftly reined in his wandering thoughts.

After collecting his thoughts, Eldrin retrieved the Chaos Marrow and the Primordial Breath of Chaos, along with other rare treasures, and began using them as catalysts to cultivate the Chaos Divine Art.

As the core method of the Soul Emperor, the Primordial Chaos Divine Art has been notoriously difficult to cultivate since ancient times.

It not only required Chaos Spirit Treasures as catalyst ingredients, but also demanded vast quantities of primordial chaos essence and even fragments of the Great Dao's origin as cultivation resources.

It was precisely due to scarce resources that even the former Supreme Lord of Flaming Yang had only mastered 3 Chaos Divine Abilities.

Moreover, lacking cultivation resources for the soul at the Chaos level, the Supreme Lord Chiyang’s soul cultivation remained merely at the peak Heavenly Emperor realm, offering little enhancement to his combat prowess.

Otherwise, capturing the Flameheart Sovereign back then would likely not have been so effortless.

Had the Venerable Chiyang mastered all 9 primordial chaos divine arts and elevated his soul cultivation to the very pinnacle of the Half-Step Unity realm, it would have undoubtedly granted him a significant boost in combat prowess.

At that point, Supreme Immortal Chiyang would at least be able to preserve his Soul Tower intact, and might even prevent his primordial spirit from suffering severe damage. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for a mere Otherrealm Demon Emperor to capture him.

The Path of the Soul Dao Celestial Emperor: divine abilities represent realms and methods, requiring myriad medicinal catalysts and primordial essence qi to cultivate.

The origin of the primordial spirit is the foundation of 1's cultivation base, as well as the cornerstone of 1's combat prowess. The magnitude of power that the same divine ability can unleash depends entirely on the profundity of 1's primordial spirit origin.

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then began refining the myriad rare treasures.

Progress in soul cultivation is slow and requires consuming vast quantities of soul-nurturing resources. The immediate priority is to first achieve breakthroughs in soul cultivation, as this yields faster results.

This time, Eldrin first refined the Chaos Marrow. With the Chaos Marrow and a massive amount of medicinal catalysts, his advancement to the Chaos Divine Ability progressed with unparalleled swiftness.

After a mere 3 100 kalpas—just 1 external kalpa—Eldrin had fully refined the Chaos Marrow and achieved the ascension of the Chaos Weapon Genesis Art.

Thereafter, Eldrin spent several 1000 kalpas successively refining all of the rare treasures—the Stone of Ages, the Space Marrow, the Primordial Chaos Aurora, and the Cosmic Derivation Stone among them.

Thus, of Eldrin's 9 great True Spirit Divine Abilities, 8 had now ascended to the realm of Chaos Divine Abilities.

These 8 supreme divine abilities were: Primordial Chaos Qi, Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder, Primordial Chaos Aurora, Chaos Armament Manifestation Art, Grand Yin-Yang Star Formation, Song of Ages Blade, Boundless Cosmos Sword, and Yin-Yang Self-Sacrifice Dao.

The 8 Great Primordial Divine Arts have taken initial form, leaving only the final and most crucial 1 remaining.

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then stepped into the nameless void and gazed upon the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss before him.

After years of accumulation, the power of the Abyssal Pearl could no longer be compared to what it once was. Moreover, having absorbed the primordial essence from the destruction of the Primordial Domain of the Immortal Realm, its grade had significantly improved.

Today, the Abyssal Pearl had advanced to become a mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure, its power rivaling even that of the Abyssal Seal.

At this thought, Eldrin turned his gaze to the Abyssal Pearl and inquired, "I wish to master the Primordial Chaos of the Returning Abyss Divine Ability. Can you lend me your assistance?"

"This matter is not difficult. Bring me a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and I shall refine and devour it."

The Abyssal Pearl spoke unhurriedly, as if this were merely a trivial matter.

Eldrin nodded slightly. As his cultivation rank steadily advanced, the might of the Abyssal Pearl—this embryonic Chaos Supreme Treasure—had grown increasingly potent.

In truth, with the current power of the Abyssal Pearl, nurturing a Chaos Spiritual Treasure of the abyssal attribute was hardly difficult.

Devouring the Chaos Spirit Treasure was merely to replenish the depleted origin essence expended in nurturing the treasure itself.

To this, Eldrin had no reason to decline. Without hesitation, he retrieved a Chaos Spiritual Treasure and offered it for the Abyssal Pearl to devour.

With the 3-hundredfold time-space acceleration, the Abyssal Pearl's gestation of chaos spiritual treasures was not slow either. Soon enough, it produced a chaos spiritual treasure of abyssal attributes.

Eldrin used this as a catalyst to draw upon the boundless power of the Returning Abyss, channeling it into his ninth true spirit aperture. Ultimately, he elevated his ninth innate divine ability, the 'Wheel of the Returning Abyss', to the realm of Chaos Divine Art.

"The 9 Great Divine Abilities have finally all reached the Chaos Realm."

As the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss was successfully forged, Eldrin immediately channeled the 9 Extremes Celestial Art.

In an instant, 9 supreme divine abilities spiraled, unleashing a world-shaking power that shook the annals of history and swept across the primordial chaos of all realms.

It must be admitted, the 9 Great Chaos Divine Abilities were truly formidable, especially when amplified by the 9 Extremes Heavenly Art.

This 9 Extremes Heavenly Art was created by Nameless, enabling 1 to simultaneously unleash 9 great primordial chaos divine abilities against enemies, possessing invincible combat power capable of sweeping through all opponents of the same realm.

Imagine, even a Half-Step Dao Fusion expert could only wield 3 Chaos Spiritual Treasures simultaneously in battle.

Yet Eldrin was able to simultaneously command 9 strands of Chaos Divine Powers, suppressing his formidable foes with myriad supernatural abilities all at once. How could any ordinary Half-Step Unity Realm practitioner possibly withstand such an assault?

"With the 9 great Chaos Divine Arts now initially mastered, all that remains is to replenish my primordial spirit cultivation."

With this thought in mind, Eldrin contemplated for a moment before rising and making his way to the herb garden where the Chaos Realm was located.

Since the fall of Nameless, soul-related artifacts within the primordial chaos grew increasingly scarce, and advancing 1's spiritual cultivation became ever more arduous.

To further advance 1's soul cultivation, there were only a handful of methods available.

For instance, the Soul Division Art once practiced by 9 Soul Celestial Emperor employed a rather rudimentary approach—continuously splitting 1’s primordial spirit and nurturing the divided souls to the level of Celestial Emperor, or even Quasi-Saint, using low-tier resources.

Finally, absorb the split souls to continuously enhance 1's cultivation base.

The ingenuity of this method lay in its ability to circumvent the scarcity of high-level soul cultivation resources, using lower-tier resources to enhance the cultivation of the split souls, and ultimately absorbing them to elevate the main soul's mastery of the soul path.

However, this method also has significant flaws. Firstly, the split souls possess inferior aptitude with limited potential, generally reaching at most the Great Emperor Realm in cultivation.

To cultivate to the Quasi-Sage Realm, 1 must still seek rare soul path resources to enhance the potential and aptitude of the divided soul—let alone having the divided soul set foot in the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

Secondly, although there were no shortages of low-tier soul cultivation resources, they ultimately couldn't resolve the fundamental issue.

Without soul cultivation resources of the Chaos level, advancing to the Dao Unity Realm would be nigh impossible. Even if 1 were to later attain the realm of a Dao Unity Supreme, the efficacy of the Soul Division Art would be drastically diminished.

"To rapidly advance 1's soul cultivation, 1 must first bypass the limitations of innate talent, and secondly, acquire vast quantities of high-tier soul cultivation resources."

Eldrin murmured inwardly as he retrieved the Primordial Chaos Vial, tirelessly attempting to cultivate various soul-oriented marvels.

In the end, it was discovered that the vast majority of Soul Dao rarities were subjected to an invisible suppression by the Great Dao, allowing them to advance at most to the level of Chaos Prime rare spiritual herbs.

Only a select few, such as the Celestial Soul Ancient Tree, the Earth Soul Ancient Tree, and the Soul-Nurturing Wood, could evolve into Innate Primordial Spirit Roots.

"It seems I still need to cultivate a Soul-Nurturing Tree."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then retrieved the seed of the Soulrend Fruit Tree once more.

He attempted to use the Primordial Purple Qi to revive it, only to discover that within this seed lay a deathly aura, completely suppressing any possibility of the Soul Nurturing Tree's recovery.

Chapter 1 The biting northern wind swept across the mountain peaks, carrying with it flurries of snow that danced in the air. Lin Xuan stood at the edge of the cliff, his white robes fluttering violently in the gale. His gaze, however, remained fixed on the distant horizon, where the last rays of the setting sun bled into the encroaching darkness. "1 100 years," he murmured, his voice barely a whisper yet carrying the weight of a millennium. "1 100 years, and still I remain trapped at the ninth layer of Qi Refinement." He clenched his fist, the knuckles turning white. Countless disciples who had entered the sect after him had already formed their Golden Cores, soaring to new heights while he remained earthbound. The frustration was a constant, gnawing presence in his gut, a cold stone of despair that had settled there years ago. Suddenly, a brilliant streak of light tore across the darkening sky, a falling star of breathtaking beauty. But Lin Xuan's eyes widened in shock as the light seemed to curve, arcing directly toward him. Before he could even react, it slammed into his chest with the force of a mountain. A searing heat, both agonizing and ecstatic, exploded within his meridians. It felt as if molten gold was being poured into his veins, scouring them clean of impurities he hadn't even known were there. Visions flashed before his eyes—a towering pagoda piercing the heavens, ancient runes shimmering with impossible power, the sigh of a primordial dragon. When the pain finally subsided, leaving behind a strange, humming warmth, a single, impossible name echoed in the depths of his soul: Myriad Worlds Pagoda (Supreme Treasure). Deep within his dantian, where once there had been only a faint, swirling mist of qi, now stood a miniature, ethereal pagoda. It spun slowly, radiating a gentle, golden light that pulsed in time with his heartbeat. With each pulse, the spiritual energy of the world around him seemed to grow clearer, more vibrant, eager to be drawn in. A low, disbelieving laugh escaped Lin Xuan's lips. This was no ordinary encounter. This was a destiny-altering opportunity, a legend made flesh. He immediately sat down in the lotus position, not daring to waste a single moment. He began circulating the basic Qi Absorption Art he had practiced for a century. The result was staggering. Where before spiritual energy trickled into his body like a meandering stream, it now roared in like a tidal wave. The bottleneck at the ninth layer of Qi Refinement, the immovable wall that had withstood his assaults for a dozen or so years, shattered like glass. The energy within him swelled, condensed, and coalesced. A brilliant, pea-sized golden sphere began to form at his core, spinning rapidly and sucking in the surrounding spiritual light. Foundation Establishment! He had broken through! Not just through the Qi Refinement bottleneck, but straight into the hallowed realm of Foundation Establishment! The stagnant qi of over a century was now a vibrant, roaring ocean. Tears of sheer, unadulterated joy mingled with the melting snow on his cheeks. The despair of a 100 years was washed away in an instant, replaced by a blazing, unshakable conviction. He rose to his feet, his body feeling lighter than air, his senses expanded to a degree he could never have imagined. He could hear the snowflakes brushing against each other, feel the deep, slumbering power of the mountain beneath his feet. Looking up at the now star-dusted sky, a fierce grin spread across Lin Xuan's face. His voice, when he spoke, was steady and carried the sharp edge of a newly forged sword. "The world of cultivation thought Lin Xuan was finished. They wrote me off as a lost cause." His hand rested over his abdomen, where the Myriad Worlds Pagoda continued its silent, majestic spin. "They will soon learn how wrong they were."
