Chapter 2153 : Ultimate Divine Form - Unbreakable Body
Not only that, but according to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, her path of Pure Yin held limitless potential.
If continuously refined in the future, it might even grant a glimpse into the possibility of the Dominator Realm.
To return to our story, while Lyra was scheming for these authorities of the Great Dao, Eldrin had already begun his secluded cultivation to refine the methods of advancing the Sacrificial Art to the Integration Realm.
He first perfected the Inner Immortal Domain method of the Sacrificial Dao to the Supreme Realm, then pioneered the Supreme Immortal Vault realm atop the Chaotic Immortal Vault.
Not only that, but Eldrin also created an entirely new alchemical formula—the Supreme Immortal Vault Pill—based on the unique properties of the Supreme Immortal Vault.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, even after stepping into the Supreme Realm, the Sacrificial Dao Path still held considerable superiority. Though it couldn't directly rival the pinnacle Supreme experts, it would likely face few equals within the same cultivation tier.
Both the Supreme Immortal Vault and the Supreme Immortal Domain were immensely powerful. Cultivating either 1 alone would grant the ability to contend against 3 opponents of the same cultivation realm.
If 1 could cultivate both the Supreme Immortal Vault and the Supreme Immortal Domain, even a newly ascended Supreme would possess combat prowess rivaling that of a top-tier Supreme.
Moreover, he was among the finest of the top-tier Supreme Elders, capable of taking on 10 ordinary Path-Unification Supreme Elders single-handedly.
"Having cultivated both the Supreme Immortal Scripture and the Supreme Immortal Domain, I should barely be able to hold my own even against a half-step Wuji realm expert, right?"
Eldrin murmured inwardly, then further refined the Supreme Celestial Domain technique into 3 distinct stages: Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Perfection.
Once the Perfect Celestial Dominion is fully cultivated, its foundational essence and self-generating Dao power alone can rival that of the Half-Step Limitless realm.
The same holds true for Immortal Vaults. Should 1 cultivate the 3 supreme Immortal Vaults, they could rival a half-step Boundless expert.
If 1 were to cultivate all 3 Supreme Immortal Treasures and perfect the Supreme Immortal Domain, their strength would likely ascend to the pinnacle of Half-Step Infinity—an invincible combat prowess capable of facing 3 ordinary Half-Step Infinity experts single-handedly.
Of course, achieving perfection in the Primordial Immortal Domain and the 3 Supreme Immortal Treasures would likely prove exceptionally arduous.
Similar to supreme beings like the Sub-sage of the Vermilion Bird and the Ancient Spirit Emperor who exclusively cultivated the Path of Self-Sacrifice, their potential was already maximized upon achieving a single Supreme Immortal Treasury, making further advancement nearly impossible.
It can be said that even among Paragons of the Path of Self-Offering, the disparity between individuals would be as vast as an unbridgeable chasm.
Those capable of simultaneously cultivating both the Immortal Domain and the Celestial Vault, and reaching the half-step Boundless realm, are likely exceedingly rare. After all, any who set foot in this domain could be considered possessors of heaven-defying foundations.
Under such circumstances, should both foundational pillars reach the Half-Step Limitless realm, and should 1 further refine the Primordial Beginning Qi to forge a Sovereign Foundation, their power would likely undergo another profound metamorphosis.
Even if there existed an insurmountable chasm between a Half-Step Wuji and a Chaos Lord in terms of power, 1 could say he had already bridged a fraction of that abyss.
Eldrin believed that within the entire Returning Abyss lineage, those with such potential were exceedingly rare—currently numbering no more than 10.
To return to our story, after devising the Dao of Self Sacrifice's method of Dao Integration, Eldrin (Person Name) immediately ignited his cauldron and refined 10 batches of Supreme Immortal Treasury Pills. He then summoned the most powerful Heavenly Emperors who practiced the Dao of Self Sacrifice.
This time, the Emperors of the Sacrificial Path gathered by Eldrin remained essentially the strongest cohort of Chaos Emperors within the Sacrificial Path.
The 9 individuals were Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Yan Zi Ji (Person Name), Lila (Person Name), Ling Xi (Person Name), Jiang Huang (Person Name), Chen Xianzhu (Person Name), Chen Ethan (Person Name), Ye Yinghui (Person Name), and Ye Qingfeng (Person Name).
The reason these 9 were chosen was because their cultivation and foundation were the highest among all, having reached the half-step Soul Unity realm.
The other Chaos Heavenly Emperors, having not taken part in the events at the Ancient Temple of Desolate Heaven, possessed resources far inferior to these individuals. As a result, their cultivation bases still fell woefully short.
At that moment, seeing all 9 individuals had gathered, Eldrin handed them the cultivation method of the Sacrificial Path.
Everyone took 1 glance and immediately revealed looks of delight.
Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) spoke directly, "Your cultivation has reached the Half-Step Unity realm for many years. It's time you seized this opportunity to break through."
With those final words, Eldrin handed the Supreme Immortal Treasury Pills to the group, his expression turning grave as he spoke, "These Supreme Immortal Treasury Pills will aid you in achieving a breakthrough."
"After your breakthrough, follow me to a place where I will devote all my resources to nurture you. I hope you can attain Half-Step Limitless combat prowess as soon as possible."
Hearing this, everyone was momentarily taken aback, clearly not expecting Eldrin to possess such vast resources.
Eldrin informed the assembly of the war involving the 7 Domains Alliance and the news of the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm, then declared:
"Whether it be the threats facing the 7 Domains Alliance or the opportunities within the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm, none are trivial matters."
"If we lack sufficient strength, we shall become lambs awaiting slaughter. I hope you will devote yourselves to cultivation and soon attain Half-Step Wuji combat prowess. Only then can you truly lend me your aid."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned incomparably grave.
They nodded 1 after another, speaking with utmost gravity, "We understand."
With those final words, the 9 cultivators departed to begin their secluded meditation, each striving to breakthrough their current cultivation realms.
Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) summoned Chen Xiannian, Chen Xianqing, Chen Xianchang, and Chen Xiandao (Person Name) once more.
After years of accumulation and refinement, the 4 children of Eldrin (Person Name) had achieved a foundation far surpassing that of previous years.
Now, the 4 of them each possessed unparalleled foundations. Among them, Chen Xianqing and Chen Xianzhang had already cultivated the Unique Divine Form, the 9 True Spirit Acupoints, and the 3 great foundations of a Palm Dao Paragon.
Chen Xiandao had cultivated the 2 great True Spirit Forms of Chaos and the Returning Abyss, his foundation and aptitude could truly be called heaven-defying.
Chen Xiannian possessed even greater potential, having fully mastered the 8 Trigrams Great Dao, with each manifestation of the Dao commanding 9 divine forms.
With such a heaven-defying foundation, once he breaks through to the Emperor Realm, he would likely step into the pinnacle Supreme Domain in no time.
Eldrin held these 4 descendants in the highest regard. He gazed upon them and declared, "Your talents are extraordinary, but on the path of cultivation, innate gift is merely 1 small part of the journey."
"To achieve greatness, 1 must possess resources, perseverance, steadfastness, opportunity, and fortune—not a single element can be lacking."
"Your foundations have now reached their limits. I shall give you 1 final push—how far you can ascend shall depend entirely on your destiny."
As the words faded, Eldrin waved his sleeve, revealing several treasures.
2 time-space attribute Chaos Spiritual Treasures, 1 set of inferior-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure 8 Trigrams Formation Flags, 30-6 strands of Primordial Chaos Qi, and 1 stalk of Chaos Creation Green Lotus.
Eldrin then handed the Space-Time Spiritual Treasure to Chen Xiandao, his expression tinged with emotion as he said, “After you master the Space-Time Divine Form, journey alone beyond the 100 Realms of the Returning Abyss to break through to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor realm.”
"When you journey to the 9 Revolutions Ancestral Court in the future, you are destined to become the personal disciple of the 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor. But remember—you must never reveal your connection to me."
Chen Xiandao received the treasure and immediately dropped to his knees, kowtowing several times with resounding thuds. "I understand, Father. I will not fail your expectations," he said.
Eldrin nodded slightly, then sighed and said, "The path of physical body sanctification has always been arduous since ancient times. To reach the realm of Chaos Sovereign is exceptionally difficult."
"Whether you can achieve anything will depend entirely on your own fortune."
With those final words, Eldrin waved his hand to dismiss him, then bestowed the Primordial Chaos Qi (Primordial Energy), the Creation Blue Lotus (Divine Object), and the 8 Trigrams Array Device (Magic Treasure) upon Chen Xianchang, Chen Xianqing, and Chen Xiannian respectively.
Then he spoke again, "Having obtained these treasures, you should devote considerable time to fully comprehend and refine them. Only when your foundation becomes flawless and seamless should you consider transitioning to the Path of Self-Sacrifice."
"We understand, Father."
The 3 of them nodded and kowtowed several times to Eldrin (Person Name), their foreheads striking the ground with audible thuds.
Eldrin said nothing more, merely flicking his sleeve in farewell as he saw the others off.
After the crowd had dispersed, Eldrin stepped into Chen Qiyuan’s cultivation sanctuary.
At this moment, Chen Qiyuan was engaged in a game of chess with the Old Tomb Guardian, appearing completely oblivious to his arrival.
Eldrin did not disturb the 2, instead standing calmly to the side as he observed them playing chess.
A long while later, the old tomb keeper placed a final piece, gaining a slight advantage over Chen Qiyuan. Only then did he smile and turn to Eldrin (Person Name), saying.
"You have come."
"Hmm."
Eldrin gave a slight nod, a warm smile gracing his features.
The old tomb keeper rose to offer his seat to Eldrin (Person Name), then brewed a pot of tea and remarked, "It’s been many years since we last met. You are quite the rare guest."
"Burdened by worldly affairs, we truly seldom have the chance to meet."
Eldrin (Person Name) took a seat nearby, a trace of wistful emotion involuntarily flickering across his expression.
As his cultivation advanced over the years, his periods of secluded meditation grew increasingly prolonged. Having reached the realm of Unity Dao Supreme, each of his retreats now spanned hundreds of kalpas at minimum.
Chen Qiyuan and the others were no exception; under such circumstances, arranging a meeting was truly no easy feat.
The old tomb keeper chuckled lightly before speaking, "Sometimes when you have a moment to spare, it's not a bad thing to meet with old acquaintances and exchange insights on cultivation."
"Hmm..."
Eldrin nodded, finding the tombkeeper elder's words quite reasonable.
Over the years, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, yet he had spent most of his time refining his skills behind closed doors, relying solely on cultivation resources and his prior accumulation.
Whether it was the 5 Great Primordial Divine Forms or the Supreme Great Dao, their rapid breakthroughs were merely the transformation of previously accumulated potential into tangible achievements.
Yet since breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor realm, he had not cultivated a single new Chaos Godform.
Although this was partly because he disdained ordinary Chaos Forms, it had to be admitted that he had never truly devoted himself to refining his Path of Fleshly Sanctification.
Yet the path of cultivation ultimately requires 1 to calm the heart and perfect it step by step. If he could not cultivate the sixth Chaos Divine Form, how could he possibly achieve the second Supreme Divine Form?
At this thought, Eldrin smiled faintly, then turned his gaze to Chen Qiyuan and said, "You make a valid point. That is precisely why I have come—to seek the Dao."
Chen Qiyuan gave a slight nod, then drew a scroll of scripture from his sleeve and handed it to Eldrin (Person Name). "This cultivation method has just been conceived," he said. "I was hoping to discuss it with you."
Eldrin took the scripture and with but a fleeting glance, a trace of solemnity immediately flickered in his gaze.
After years of accumulation, Chen Qiyuan had successfully merged his immunity to magical power with the Unbreakable Golden Body, creating a supreme divine cultivation method.
Although this technique was still in its nascent stage, it already bore a trace of the ultimate divine form's essence, possessing defensive capabilities nearly approaching those of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure).
"Magic Immunity and the Unbreakable Golden Body are both supreme-grade divine defensive runes."
"Master any 1 of these paths and forge it into a Chaos Divine Form, and you shall ascend directly to the realm of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor—nay, reign supreme among celestial sovereigns with none to rival your might."
Gazing upon this newly drafted scripture, Eldrin couldn't help but marvel, "By merging these 2 paths, you may have created something that could, in some aspects, rival the ultimate divine forms."
Chen Qiyuan nodded, yet remarked with a tinge of regret, "A pity. The divine form forged through fusion still lacks the final step to reach the ultimate divine form."
"This final step seemed like an insurmountable chasm, utterly impossible to cross."
Eldrin gave a slight nod, yet spoke with unwavering calm: "The ultimate divine forms are all manifestations of the Primordial Chaos Dao. By natural law, they are nearly insurmountable."
"But I have a method that might be able to break through this barrier."
Chen Qiyuan was momentarily taken aback before speaking, "What method is this?"
Primordial Chaos Qi.
Eldrin spoke calmly, then took out a strand of Primordial Beginning Qi and delivered it into Chen Qiyuan's hand.
As soon as Chen Qiyuan made contact with the Primordial Beginning Qi, he realized this wisp of primordial energy was being absorbed into his very being.
Then, he sensed movement within him—the Immunity to Magical Forces and the Indestructible Golden Body stirred. The 2 great True Spirit forms intertwined ceaselessly around the Primordial Beginning Qi, ultimately merging into a flawless Chaos Divine Form.
"This is..."
Chen Qiyuan’s expression shifted subtly. He focused his senses and discovered that the barrier between his Spell Immunity and Indestructible Golden Body had completely dissolved, merging into a newly formed, flawless whole.
After confirming it repeatedly, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Could the Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi (Primordial Energy) truly be this profoundly miraculous?"
"A treasure born of primordial chaos naturally possesses heaven-defying efficacy."
Eldrin smiled faintly, showing little surprise at this.
Strictly speaking, no matter how formidable the 12 Primordial Daos might be, they ultimately remained at the Half-Step Primordial level.
However, the Primordial Beginning Qi was a true entity of the Primordial Chaos, allowing the 2 divine forms to merge into the ultimate divine form. No unforeseen circumstances would arise in this process.
Chen Qiyuan also understood this point and could not help but remarking with emotion, "The Primordial Beginning Qi possesses such divine efficacy—no wonder even the Chaos Overlord covets it."
"Yet if that is the case, did the 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor most likely harness the Primordial Inception Qi to cultivate all 9 ultimate divine forms?"
"Indeed, it is so."
Eldrin nodded and replied calmly, "If 1 cannot cultivate the 9 ultimate divine forms, what right do they have to set foot upon the path of the Great Sovereign?"
With Nameless's memories, he possessed an intimate understanding of the Chaos Sovereign.
The might of the Dominator Realm is an all-encompassing supremacy—an insurmountable barrier that stands as the absolute limit.
Even a top-tier Half-Step Chaos Realm expert who had refined 9 strands of Primordial Chaos Qi and established a Ruler's Foundation could not withstand a single blow from a Chaos Ruler.
This gap was simply insurmountable. Even the 7 supreme half-step Infinite Power experts of the 7 Domains Alliance could only barely muster some resistance by relying on a grand formation powered by over 3,000 primordial domains.
At its core, the 7 Domains Alliance possessed yet another Wuji-level grand defensive formation.
But this power was only sufficient for defense. Once beyond the 7 Domains Alliance, even if the 7 half-step Infinite Realm experts joined forces, they could not withstand 10 moves from a single Chaos Lord.
Because the Supreme Dao transcends all the myriad laws of the heavens, it can suppress 10 1000 paths with but 1—an insurmountable chasm.
"All beneath the Infinite are but ants. To set foot upon the Infinite Realm in days to come, you and I must cultivate the 9 supreme divine forms."
"However, this step not only requires Primordial Chaos Qi, but also demands the cultivation of a True Spirit Divine Form as its foundation."
Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly before putting away the ancient scripture created by Chen Qiyuan (Person Name).
Hearing this, Chen Qiyuan gave a nod of approval, then gazed at the ancient scripture in his hands and said, "The ultimate divine patterns within this scroll were forged by your Primordial Inception Qi. You should be the 1 to name it."
"Very well."
Eldrin nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "This divine form possesses both magic immunity and physical immunity, while also being capable of refining adamantine and mithril to enhance 1's physique. Let it be named the Unbreakable Body."
"Indestructible Physique?"
Chen Qiyuan pondered briefly before giving a slight nod.
The Indestructible Body did not enhance vitality, but rather improved the physical body's base defense, along with dual immunity to both physical and magical attacks. Thus, the name "Indestructible Body" was indeed quite fitting.
At this thought, Chen Qiyuan (Person Name) said with a smile, "If word of this Indestructible Body (Cultivation Art) spreads, I might even make a name for myself in the Chaos Realm (Cultivation Realm) someday."
"The day will come."
Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, then further discussed insights on cultivating the Indestructible Body with Chen Qiyuan (Person Name). Only after a considerable while did he finally take his leave.
Returning to the seclusion chamber, Eldrin immediately began studying the cultivation method of the Indestructible Body.
To cultivate an Indestructible Body, 1 must first comprehend the 2 great Daos of Magic Immunity and the Imperishable Golden Body.
Chen Qiyuan employed a laborious approach—after refining vast quantities of mithril and arcane silver, 2 primordial Dao patterns spontaneously manifested within his body. Through relentless contemplation of these self-generated principles, he ultimately perfected his cultivation.
Eldrin, however, had no need for such tedious efforts. With his prodigious comprehension, grasping these 2 Great Daos was hardly troublesome for him.
Nevertheless, Eldrin still chose to refine vast quantities of aurum and mithril, as the refinement process could greatly enhance his physique, fundamentally boosting his physical defense from the ground up.
Now, Eldrin (Person Name) was in no shortage of refined gold and secret silver whatsoever. He had even obtained a considerable amount of high-grade refined gold and secret silver within the great Chaos Realm. Thus, he refined and fused them without the slightest hesitation.
After an unknown period of seclusion, Eldrin had refined a vast quantity of mithril and adamantine. His physical body had finally reached its limit, forging 2 divine patterns: Spell Immunity and the Indestructible Golden Body.
He then used this as a foundation to refine 2 Chaos Spirit Treasures forged of adamantine gold and mystic silver, successfully cultivating the divine forms of 2 great True Spirits.
"The 2 great true spirit forms have taken shape, and now comes the fusion of the ultimate divine form."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, then began refining the Primordial Chaos Primordial Qi, using it as a foundation to merge the 2 divine forms: Magical Power Immunity and the Indestructible Golden Body.
With the successful precedent set by Chen Qiyuan, Eldrin encountered no surprises in his breakthrough this time. He swiftly merged the 2 great divine forms, ultimately transforming them into the ultimate divine form—the Indestructible Body.
"Finally, I've succeeded in my cultivation."
After completing the cultivation of the Indestructible Body, a faint smile emerged on Eldrin's face.
Compared to the Abyssal Divine Form which absorbs damage, the Indestructible Body's damage immunity is exceptionally outstanding, capable of neutralizing over 95% of attacks from opponents of the same cultivation level, and can even mitigate considerable damage from higher-tier adversaries.
It could be said that the defensive power enhanced by the Indestructible Body far surpassed the previous mana immunity and Imperishable Golden Physique.
Moreover, due to refining a substantial amount of refined gold and mithril, Eldrin's physical defense had also improved significantly.
Every cell in his body seemed infused with mithril and adamantine, boosting his base defense by at least 20 percent.
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 Abyssal Gorge. "Just a little further," he muttered to himself, the words snatched away by the gale. "The Spirit Convergence Grass must be here." His spiritual sense, a faint, shimmering extension of his will, probed the cliff face. He was at the third level of Qi Refinement—hardly more than a mortal in the eyes of the great sects. Yet, the herb he sought could catalyze his breakthrough, perhaps even allowing him to reach the elusive fourth level before the Outer Sect disciple selection in 3 months' time. His fingers, numb with cold, finally brushed against something smooth and cool, radiating a faint, soothing energy. There it was, nestled in a crack, its leaves shimmering with a faint blue light. The Spirit Convergence Grass. A grim smile touched his lips. This single stalk was worth more than all the spirit stones he had painstakingly gathered over the past year. Perhaps 500, maybe even 600. Enough to purchase a dozen or so basic Qi Gathering Pills from the market at Cloudy Summit City. Suddenly, a sharp, mocking laugh cut through the wind's roar. "Well, well. Look what the mountain cat dragged in." Lin Chen's heart plummeted. He knew that voice. Turning his head slowly, he saw 2 figures standing on a wider ledge above him. The speaker was a youth in fine blue silks, his expression 1 of utter contempt. Zhang Hai. An outer sect disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, already at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. Beside him stood a hulking brute of a man, his arms crossed—Wang Hu. "Brother Zhang," Lin Chen said, his voice carefully neutral. "What a coincidence." "Coincidence?" Zhang Hai sneered. "I felt the spiritual fluctuation of that herb from a li away. You didn't truly believe a piece of trash like you was worthy of such a treasure, did you?" He gestured dismissively. "Hand it over. A measly third-level Qi Refinement ant like you shouldn't play with things beyond his station." Lin Chen's grip on the Spirit Convergence Grass tightened. Countless thoughts raced through his mind. Submission meant losing his 1 chance. Resistance meant a brutal beating, or worse. He had seen what Zhang Hai was capable of. Wang Hu took a step forward, the rock cracking slightly under his boot. "The young master gave you an order, trash. Don't make me come down there." The wind howled, a lonely, desolate sound. Lin Chen looked from the precious herb in his hand to the sneering faces above. For years, he had endured this. The insults, the stolen resources, the constant reminders of his weakness. A cold fire, 1 he had suppressed for so long, began to ignite within his dantian. He looked Zhang Hai directly in the eye, his voice dropping, losing all pretense of deference. "You want it?" he said, a strange calm settling over him. "Come and take it." Zhang Hai's face darkened with fury. "You dare?!" He flicked his wrist, and a short, gleaming sword appeared in his hand—the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss. Its blade shimmered with a faint, dangerous heat. "It seems you need a lesson in respecting your betters, you nameless rogue cultivator!" Lin Chen didn't wait. With a surge of the meager spiritual power he possessed, he pushed off from the cliff face, the Spirit Convergence Grass safely tucked inside his ragged robe. He wasn't fast enough. A searing pain erupted across his back as the edge of the Li Fire Sword's energy grazed him, sending him tumbling towards the mist-shrouded gorge below. The last thing he heard was Zhang Hai's triumphant laughter, echoing into the vast, uncaring mountains. Darkness. Then, a voice, ancient and resonant, spoke within the confines of his consciousness, a voice that seemed to have existed for thousands of years. "To defy the heavens... 1 must first defy 1's own fate. Awaken, Inheritor of the Void." A brilliant, overwhelming light erupted behind Lin Chen's eyes, and knowledge—vast, profound, and terrifying—flooded into his soul. A legacy. The legacy of the Celestial Void Scripture.
