Chapter 2154 : Eternal Body

You must understand, having cultivated to the level of Eldrin (Person Name), 1's physical body had nearly reached the pinnacle of refinement. To still achieve a 20 percent enhancement in base defense could already be considered a monumental breakthrough.

"To withstand the attacks of the Wuji Dominus, basic defensive capabilities are still somewhat inadequate."

Eldrin spoke slowly, pausing in contemplation before producing 2 massive chunks of Chaos Aurum and Chaos Argentum.

These 2 pieces of mithril and adamantine were both mid-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures, excavated by the Treasure-Seeking Mouse from the depths of a Chaotic Realm. Their defensive capabilities could truly be described as defying the heavens.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, even a top-tier Half-Step Wuji expert going all out would find it extremely difficult to destroy these 2 pieces of Supreme Immortal Gold within a short period of time.

Such a supreme treasure, if forged into a set of Immortal Gold Divine Armor, would likely be enough to make even the most exalted Supreme Elders covet it beyond measure.

However, Eldrin did not use it to forge an immortal golden divine armor, but resolutely began to refine and fuse it into his own flesh.

This fine gold and secret silver was incomparably sturdy. Even if a top-tier supreme being who had refined their flesh to sainthood were to spend several million kalpas of time refining it, they would likely still be unable to assimilate it into their physical body.

Fortunately, Eldrin had cultivated the Divine Form of Annihilation and the Divine Form of Returning Abyss, and his physical body had already reached the Harmony Realm. Refining these 2 pieces of immortal metal wasn't too difficult for him.

He continuously channeled destruction energy to disintegrate the 2 immortal metals, then employed the power of the returning abyss to grind them into the purest essence of immortal metal, gradually fusing it into his physical body.

Thus time flew by, and before he knew it, hundreds of kalpas had passed before the 2 supreme immortal metals were completely refined.

"Finally, it's done."

After refining 2 pieces of immortal gold, Eldrin slowly exhaled a breath.

After a brief moment of sensing, he discovered that his physical defense had increased by approximately 50 percent from its original foundation.

"A truly monumental enhancement."

Eldrin rarely murmured to himself, a trace of delight involuntarily flashing across his expression.

To be fair, his original physical defense could only be considered average among the Body Sanctification lineage's Dao Fusion Supreme Elders.

His ability to possess peerless defense within the same cultivation realm was primarily attributed to the merits of the Void-Swallowing Divine Form. As long as the damage did not exceed the limits of his physical defense, all harm would be absorbed by the Void-Swallowing Divine Form.

It could be said that although his defensive capabilities had been formidable, if an opponent surpassed him by too great a margin, they could still pierce through the defenses of his Guixu Divine Form.

But now, after refining vast quantities of mithril and adamantine, he had not only gained damage immunity—his physical defense had also soared to unprecedented heights, elevating his overall resilience to an entirely new level.

"Even a half-step Infinite Realm expert shouldn't be able to inflict serious injuries upon me without resorting to their ultimate techniques."

Moreover, by continuing to refine medium-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures such as refined gold and mystic silver, my physical defense could still achieve a certain degree of enhancement.

Eldrin murmured inwardly, unable to resist the urge to return immediately to the Chaotic Realm—for within it still lay considerable quantities of high-grade adamantine and mithril.

However, he quickly dismissed the thought.

Extracting mithril and adamantine would take time, and he had far more pressing matters to attend to at the moment.

"Now, it is time to proceed with the next phase of our stratagem."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then stepped out of the dojo and arrived beyond the boundaries of the Primordial Immortal Domain.

When he arrived at the Primordial Immortal Domain, the Ancient Immortal was in secluded cultivation. Yet upon discovering Eldrin’s personal arrival, he emerged from seclusion himself.

The Undying Elder personally invited Eldrin to a mystical pear orchard. As he warmed a pot of wine for Eldrin, he inquired, "What matter of such importance could compel you to make this journey in person?"

"I wish to forge an ultimate divine form, and I seek to use your indestructible divine form as the blueprint."

"Oh?"

The Undying Ancient was momentarily taken aback before replying, "Although my Undying Divine Form is a Chaos Divine Form, it remains worlds apart from the Ultimate Divine Form."

"With such a Divine Form, can 1 truly glimpse the realm of the ultimate Divine Form?"

Eldrin gave a slight nod and said, "You need not underestimate yourself. The tenacious vitality of the Indestructible Divine Form is likely among the greatest throughout the entire chaos."

Speaking of this, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but feel deeply moved.

The Undying Divine Form of Elder Undying is a Chaos Divine Form with the most exuberant vitality. It is even more tenacious than the Great Dao of Life itself, possessing a near-indestructible and deathless nature.

If the Indestructible Divine Form enhanced vitality, then the Unbreakable Body elevated physical strength and resilience.

It could be said that the Indestructible Divine Form and the Unbreakable Body complemented each other perfectly. When combined, they would grant Eldrin (Person Name) unparalleled vitality, physical fortitude, and resilience.

Eldrin knew all too well that relying solely on the damage immunity of the Indestructible Body and the damage absorption of the Abyssal God Runes would never withstand a full-force strike from a Dao-Blocking Sovereign.

For it was an assault from the level of the Great Dao, jointly unleashed by multiple Chaos Lords obstructing the path, even incorporating the Annihilating Lord’s power of destruction.

This power drifted within the endless river of time and space. The moment anyone dared to challenge the realm of the Supreme Primordial Spirit, it would instantly sense the intrusion and unleash a devastating strike capable of obliterating all existence.

Even the most exceptional half-step Wuji masters, should they dare to challenge the realm of the Supreme Primordial Spirit, would likely find themselves walking a path of certain death.

Eldrin dared not take any risks, and thus had to make thorough preparations. Bolstering his physical defense was 1 of his most crucial steps.

Under such circumstances, the Undying Divine Form of Elder Immortal Venerable was 1 of the optimal choices in Eldrin's (Person Name) mind.

"To think my Indestructible Divine Form would earn such high regard from you."

Seeing Eldrin’s unreserved approval, the Undying Old Man revealed a trace of self-satisfaction.

He let out a soft sigh, then retrieved the complete Eternal Celestial Canon—even its core mysteries were included.

After imparting this technique to Eldrin, the Undying Elder declared, "My sole divine form is eternal, cultivated with the Indestructible Divine Form as its core."

The Undying Elder spoke unhurriedly, imparting all the mysteries of the Undying Divine Form to Eldrin.

Eldrin listened quietly, his understanding of the Indestructible Divine Form gradually becoming clearer.

The Chaos Divine Form of Elder Immortal was forged with the Indestructible Divine Form as its core, integrated with 8 great divine forms: Life, Nirvana, Qi and Blood, Spiritual Mechanism, Longevity, Revival, Spirit Spring, and Verdant Wood.

It could be said that the other 8 manifestations of the True Spirit were cultivated solely to amplify the power of the Indestructible Divinity, serving merely as auxiliary enhancements.

Eldrin’s purpose for this journey was to seek the cultivation method of the Indestructible Divine Form.

"Aside from the Indestructible Divine Form, the other divine forms are far too fragmented and chaotic, making it impossible to refine them into a single, unified divine form."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, gradually gaining some comprehension of the Undying Elder's Chaos Divine Form.

To cultivate the ultimate divine form, it is undoubtedly best to have fewer divine forms and greater harmony among them.

Just as Magic Immunity and Indestructible Golden Body, 2 opposing yet perfectly complementary forces, could only merge into the ultimate divine form with the aid of Primordial Beginning Qi.

On the contrary, these 9 divine forms were clearly delineated in strength, with the Indestructible Divine Form dominating the others, making it unsuitable for cultivating the ultimate divine form.

At this thought, Eldrin took out the Indestructible Divinity alone and spoke, "With the cultivation method of the Indestructible Divine Form, I might be able to make some attempts."

"Many thanks."

The Elder of Eternal Extinction nodded, then said with a smile, "May my Dao offer you some guidance."

Eldrin gave a slight nod. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with the Eternal Elder, he made ready to depart from the Elder's sacred sanctuary.

Before parting, he handed an jade vial to Immortal Bumie and said, "The potential of your Path of Immortality is nearing its limit. This may be of some use to you."

With those final words, Eldrin departed the Primordial Realm of Imperishability without waiting for the Old Man of Unending Destruction to refuse.

The Eternal Elder was momentarily taken aback before uncorking the jade vial. His expression instantly shifted dramatically.

Within the jade vessel, a strand of Primordial Beginning Qi (Primordial Energy) drifted in a slow, undulating rhythm, radiating boundless light of creation.

Meanwhile, Eldrin flew out of the Undying Primordial Realm, then glanced back at the Ancient Undying 1, a flicker of poignant reflection crossing his expression.

The potential of Elder Bulié had been exhausted, making it virtually impossible for him to break through to the Unity Realm in principle.

However, once the Primordial Beginning Qi (Hongmeng Shiqi) was refined, the roots of the Eternal Elder would inevitably be elevated, and stepping into the Supreme Realm should be well within his grasp.

Of course, this should be the limit after all. No matter how heaven-defying the Primordial Beginning Qi might be, 1 must still possess the corresponding potential to harness it.

Allowing Elder Buli, who had exhausted his potential, to once again elevate his cultivation realm was already a heaven-defying feat; it was impossible to enable him to break through to the Dominator Realm.

Even if he obtained the Primordial Chaos Qi, with his current foundation, he likely wouldn’t be able to refine it.

"This strand of Primordial Chaos Qi is the last thing I can do for you."

Eldrin let out a faint sigh, then shook his head and gazed at the Undying Divine Form cultivation method in his hand, falling into deep contemplation.

This Undying Divine Form truly lived up to its reputation as a supreme divine form, rivaling even Mana Immunity and the Golden Indestructible Body. It stood as 1 of the most formidable supreme divine forms within the life attribute.

However, relying solely on this divine form would likely be insufficient to cultivate the ultimate divine form.

"If 1 uses this as a foundation, how can the ultimate divine form be achieved?"

Eldrin murmured softly, then lifted his gaze toward the distant Primordial Wilderness Domain. A plan swiftly took root in his mind.

He flew directly to the Great Desolate Primordial Domain and arrived at the Great Desolate Holy Palace.

I pay my respects to the Patriarch of the Dao.

At this moment, within the Great Wilderness Holy Palace, the various Great Emperors and Quasi-Sages were all startled into alertness. Witnessing Eldrin's arrival, they immediately paid their respects with utmost reverence.

To this, Eldrin merely gave a slight nod, casually waving his sleeve to dismiss the crowd before summoning the Eternal Sovereign.

Seeing that Eldrin (Person Name) had summoned him, the Immortal Emperor immediately bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Your Lordship."

Arise.

Eldrin (Person Name) swept his sleeve to help the other rise, only then taking a careful measure of the Immortal Emperor.

After all these years, the Immortal Emperor had cultivated arduously in the Abyssal Grotto-heaven, and his cultivation had advanced significantly. He had now reached the Half-Saint realm.

Compared to Sword Sovereign Eldrin and others who had stepped into the Heavenly Emperor realm, the cultivation progress of the Eternal Sovereign could be described as remarkably sluggish.

The fundamental reason lies in the fact that those who achieve sainthood through physical cultivation possess a weak primordial spirit, rendering them incapable of switching to the Path of Sacrificial Ascension.

Secondly, it was also because the Immortal Emperor's origins were limited, making it difficult for him to break through to higher realms.

The true form of this Immortal Emperor was a Sacred Spirit born from a vein of immortal gold. Blessed with an inherently extraordinary foundation, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds ever since.

The foundation of the Chaos Saint Spirit had forged him, yet simultaneously constrained his potential.

After attaining the rank of Great Emperor, the progress of Immortal Emperor's cultivation had slowed to a crawl. He could only rely on arduous methods to break through his limits time and again, ultimately managing to tread with great difficulty into the quasi-sage realm.

To this day, how many millions of kalpas had the Immortal Emperor spent in arduous cultivation within the Guixu Grotto-Heaven?

Through the long and arduous cultivation, the Immortal Emperor had already mastered the 9 True Spirit Forms, now standing just 1 crucial step away from achieving the ultimate Singular Spirit Form.

The reason he had yet to break through was that his path was far too domineering. He needed to continue tempering his foundation before he could stake everything on 1 final, all-out attempt.

Recalling these memories, Eldrin let out a soft sigh and patted the Immortal Emperor’s shoulder, saying, “You were among the earliest to follow me.”

"Now that your cultivation has been surpassed by those who came after you, have you ever felt resentment in your heart?"

The Immortal Emperor shook his head, then said with a light laugh, "The path of physical cultivation to sainthood has always been fraught with countless hardships."

"I am constrained by my innate foundation, yet countless souls in this world would give anything for such a foundation and still find it beyond their grasp. What room is there for regret?"

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod before speaking, "Hand over your method of cultivating the Immortal Divine Form."

The Eternal Sovereign harbored no suspicion and directly imparted his cultivation method to Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin took it and examined it, his gaze flickering slightly. He had to admit that the core divine form of the Immortal Emperor was truly extraordinary.

This Immortal Divine Form is 1 of the supreme life-attributed divine forms. Unlike the vitality and tenacity of the Indestructible Divine Form, it possesses a certain divine nature that remains eternal through myriad calamities.

Such an immortal divine form possessed truly heaven-defying defensive capabilities against curses and the laws of the Great Dao. Even when struck by the boundless power of temporal decay, it would not undergo the slightest change of corruption.

The Indestructible Divine Form was like a tender sprout, akin to a seed, brimming with vibrant vitality and tenacious life force.

This Immortal Divine Form was like an ancient tree that never aged, its roots anchored in the boundless cosmos. Even as seas transformed into mulberry fields and epochs turned to dust, it remained eternally verdant, forever untouched by decay.

Eldrin murmured softly, gaining profound insight into this immortal divine form.

In that moment, he understood with absolute clarity—the fusion of Indestructible and Eternal Divine Forms would inevitably give birth to an entirely new ultimate Divine Form.

Understanding this, Eldrin immediately rose to his feet and turned to the Immortal Daoist, saying, "You have done exceptionally well. Continue cultivating diligently from now on, and strive to journey as far as you can."

As the words faded, Eldrin had already vanished from the great hall.

"We bid farewell to the Lord."

The Immortal Emperor promptly bowed to see him off. When he collected himself, however, he discovered a jade vial had somehow materialized before him.

He took it and looked, only to see a purple qi mass drifting within.

"Your Majesty..."

The Immortal Emperor's heart trembled with awe as he promptly prostrated himself in the direction where Eldrin (Person Name) had departed, declaring fervently, "My Lord, this humble general shall not fail your expectations."

Meanwhile, Eldrin, having obtained 2 supreme divine form cultivation techniques, hurried back to the Abyssal Sanctuary with urgent haste.

Returning to the seclusion chamber, he immediately retrieved the cultivation methods for the 2 divine forms and began studying how to master them.

Unlike the immunity to magic power and the indestructible golden body, the 2 great divine forms of Indestructibility and Immortality were vastly different in their cultivation methods.

To cultivate these 2 supreme divine forms, 1 requires an astonishing amount of life force.

Fortunately, Eldrin now possessed considerable resources and naturally did not lack such trivial amounts. He quickly located a substantial quantity of Life Essence Water and began cultivating the 2 supreme divine forms.

Thus, after an unknowable span of time—having refined a vast ocean of Life Essence alongside 2 Chaos Spiritual Treasures imbued with indestructible and eternal attributes—Eldrin finally achieved mastery over the 2 supreme divine forms.

At this moment, Eldrin was astonished to discover that his vitality had increased by no small measure.

"Truly worthy of being a top-tier divine form, it certainly possesses extraordinary qualities."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then without the slightest hesitation, refined another wisp of Primordial Beginning Qi, beginning to merge the 2 supreme divine forms.

And this time, the Indestructible Divine Form and the Eternal Divine Form intertwined around the Primordial Beginning Qi, ultimately merging flawlessly into a single ultimate divine form.

Another ultimate divine form.

Eldrin murmured softly, a faint smile gracing his lips as he gazed upon this newborn ultimate divine form.

Compared to the previous Indestructible Body, this new ultimate divine form was every bit its equal.

However, their emphases differ—the Indestructible Body leans more towards physical defense, bodily fortitude, and sheer resilience.

This new ultimate divine form, however, leaned toward vitality, tenacious recovery, and the suppression of various heteromorphic energies.

Moreover, the damage immunity of the Indestructible Body leans more toward defending against physical and magical attacks, while its defensive capabilities are comparatively weaker against curses, soul attacks, and assaults at the level of the Great Dao.

This new ultimate divine form, however, could nullify curses, soul attacks, and even damage at the level of the Great Dao.

Understanding the might of this newly born ultimate divine form, a rare smile finally graced Eldrin's face.

"This ultimate divine form was entirely new, possessing an extreme vitality and an almost absolute indestructibility. Even among ultimate divine forms, it should stand as truly 1 of a kind."

"Such a powerful divine form shall henceforth be known as—the Eternal Body."

He then fell into a brief, contemplative silence before finally murmuring to himself.

Thus, the ultimate divine form—the Eternal Body—manifested itself in the mortal realm.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but examine his physical foundation. Since breaking through to the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm, he had unwittingly cultivated 7 Chaos Divine Forms.

Thus, the 7 great Chaos Divine Forms were the Chaos Cauldron, the Axe of Annihilation, the Chaos Pearl, the Abyssal Return Disc, the Celestial Dial, along with the Indestructible Body and the Eternal Physique.

Thus, among the 7 great Chaos Divine Forms, with the exception of the Chaos Giant Cauldron, the remaining 6 Divine Forms were all Ultimate Divine Forms.

The Chaos Cauldron also possessed the potential to manifest an ultimate divine form, so Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest. Without delay, he channeled a wisp of Primordial Genesis Qi into the Chaos Cauldron.

After evolving into the ultimate divine form, the Chaos Great Cauldron's power increased by another 30 percent, rivaling even the other 6 great divine forms without the slightest disadvantage.

"I have now cultivated the 7 ultimate divine forms. How should I proceed further on my path of physical cultivation?"

Eldrin murmured inwardly before sinking into deep contemplation.

Chapter 1 The Azure Cloud Sect's outer gate examination had just concluded. Lin Xuan stood silently amidst the crowd, his fingers tracing the faintly glowing token in his palm—the symbol of a newly accepted disciple. "Next, the distribution of cultivation resources!" announced an elder clad in white robes, his voice echoing across the square. "Each disciple shall receive 1 100 spirit stones and 3 Foundation Establishment Pills!" A wave of excitement swept through the assembly. Lin Xuan’s eyes, however, remained calm. He had waited for this day for over a decade. Suddenly, a commotion erupted nearby. "You dare steal my Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), you worthless ant?" a haughty voice sneered. Lin Xuan turned to see a young man in brocade robes glaring contemptuously at a trembling youth. The conflict had drawn the attention of several elders, but none intervened. "Fellow disciples," Lin Xuan murmured to himself, "the path of cultivation has never been paved with mercy." He recalled the words of the ancient scripture: "To transcend mortality, 1 must first temper the heart like unyielding jade." As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the training grounds, Lin Xuan clenched his token tighter. His journey had only just begun.
