Chapter 2155 : Body of the Pan Ant

Among his 7 current divine forms, the 3 great divine forms—the Axe of Annihilation, the Chaos Pearl, and the Abyssal Reversion Disk—had already merged into the Supreme Divine Form, forming the foundational core of his Supreme Physique.

Among the remaining 4 divine forms, the Space-Time Divine Form leaned more towards functionality, offering little enhancement to his physique and physical strength.

The Chaos Giant Cauldron (Magic Treasure) integrated multiple effects including strength, defense, speed, vitality, and explosive power, forming 1 of the crucial foundations of his current physical constitution.

The Unbreakable Body and Eternal Physique not only enhanced his vitality and defense, but elevated his resilience to the absolute limit.

If 1 were to advance further, merging the Chaos Cauldron, the Indestructible Body, and the Eternal Form into a second ultimate divine manifestation would be an exceptional choice.

However, merging a second supreme divine form would likely prove even more challenging than cultivating a second supreme dao path.

Because Eldrin's primordial spirit was insufficient, his control over himself had nearly reached its limit. He could no longer suppress the foundations of his cultivation while attempting to fuse with a second supreme divine form.

"To cultivate the second Supreme Divine Form, 1 must await the alignment of celestial timing, terrestrial advantage, and human harmony—requiring sufficient destiny and pivotal moments to succeed."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then suppressed the thought for the time being.

Unable to fuse the second supreme divine form, Eldrin had no choice but to seek a way to cultivate the eighth ultimate divine form.

However, the choice of the eighth ultimate divine form and how to cultivate it also plunged Eldrin into deep contemplation.

After all, the Ultimate Divine Form was far too powerful, and the conditions for cultivating it were exceedingly demanding. Even though Eldrin (Person Name) lacked no Primordial Beginning Qi (Cultivation Energy), it was not something that could be mastered simply by desiring it.

"Within the divine forms of defense, the Abyssal Reversion Disk (Magic Treasure), the Indestructible Body (Cultivation Art), and the Eternal Physique (Cultivation Art) should already suffice."

“速度和功能神形有寰天晷，攻伐神形有毁灭之斧、辅助神形混沌珠，根基和底蕴神形有混沌巨鼎。”

"What I lack now is the ultimate divine form that can strengthen the very foundation of my power."

Eldrin murmured softly, a glimmer of comprehension soon dawning upon him.

His 3 divine defensive forms had already covered all aspects, greatly enhancing his physique while granting him immunity to over 90-5 percent of all types of attacks within the chaos.

Under such circumstances, even if 1 were to cultivate another ultimate divine form with defensive properties, its efficacy would be largely negated due to overlapping effects.

Instead, he cultivated a divine form of strength attribute, which greatly enhanced his physical power and allowed him to use offense as a means of defense, thereby indirectly boosting his defensive capabilities.

Moreover, his Axe of Destruction required sufficient power to unleash its absolute might.

"The ultimate divine form of the power attribute?"

Eldrin murmured softly, then his eyes faintly brightened as he immediately thought of 2 candidates.

Without hesitation, he immediately departed from the Guixu Grotto-Heaven and arrived within the Primordial Domain of Panhuang, where he encountered Panhuang (Person Name).

After so many years apart, Emperor Pan's combat prowess had also remained at the peak Heavenly Emperor realm.

The Emperor Pan cultivated the Great Dao of Strength, forging his foundation with the Divine Form of Power as its core. His own might traversed the primordial chaos, finding no match among his foes—a quintessential example of overwhelming force shattering all techniques.

At that moment, Eldrin met the Emperor Pan and immediately stated his purpose.

After listening, Panhuang directly imparted the most profound mysteries of his Great Dao of Power to Eldrin (Person Name), then declined Eldrin's (Person Name) proposed transaction, stating: "When I broke through to the Celestial Emperor Realm in the past, I already owed you far too much."

“To be able to lend you a helping hand has lifted a great regret from my heart. You must not think of repaying me with treasures.”

Seeing this, Eldrin couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

He gazed at the jade vial containing the Primordial Chaos Qi and couldn't refrain from asking, "Won't you examine the treasures within before declining?"

With unwavering resolve, Panhuang shook his head and declared, "Given your profound foundations, the cost of your assistance would surely be astronomical. I'd rather not inquire, lest it stir distracting thoughts."

Eldrin nodded in agreement, feeling that the Primordial Beginning Qi truly shouldn't be shared with too many people for now. It would be better to wait until he himself stepped into the realm of Dominance, gaining the ability to protect himself, before looking after his old acquaintances.

Since Panhuang firmly declined, Eldrin put away the Primordial Beginning Qi.

He then spent some time discussing the Dao with Emperor Pan before rising to say, "I must resume my secluded cultivation and shall not linger here today."

Pan Emperor also nodded, then spoke, "I too shall journey beyond the 100 Realms of the Guixu. My return may be countless kalpas away. I hope when next we meet, your might shall shake the very chaos itself."

Eldrin nodded and could not help but offer his blessings, "Then I wish you smooth sailing on this journey, and may you find the supreme opportunity."

With those final words, Eldrin said no more. He bowed in farewell to the Primordial Domain of Panhuang.

Panhuang gazed quietly at his retreating figure, a trace of profound emotion coloring his countenance.

He had a premonition that the next time they met, the status of this Eldrin of the Returning Abyss would be beyond compare.

After departing from the Primordial Realm of Panhuang, Eldrin headed straight for the Chaotic Heavenly Extremity Domain and soon arrived outside the Nest of the Chaotic Heavenly Ants.

Sensing his arrival, the Ant Emperor promptly invited him into the reception hall and extended exceedingly courteous hospitality.

Eldrin likewise dispensed with pleasantries and directly stated his purpose: "To be frank, I have come for your cultivation method of the Path of Absolute Strength."

"Strength Extreme Divine Form?"

The Ant Emperor's eyes flickered with contemplation, then betrayed a faint trace of astonishment.

In contrast to Pan Huang's Dao of Strength, the Ant Emperor's Dao of Force Extremes was far more radical—a supreme divine cultivation path he had forged himself.

If Pan Huang's Great Dao of Strength was 1 of overt dominance, treading the tyrannical path of overwhelming force to shatter all techniques,

Thus, the Ant Emperor's Path of Absolute Strength was an extreme explosive path that employed unorthodox methods.

The Physique of Might Surpassing Extremity possesses explosive power that transcends the ultimate, surpassing even the Might Deity Physique of Panhuang in raw force within a brief duration.

However, the Ant Emperor's explosive power was difficult to sustain, thus each had their own strengths and weaknesses. Overall, it was truly challenging to determine superiority between them.

However, considering that the Power Extreme Divine Form was uniquely created by the Ant Emperor, Eldrin believed the Ant Emperor’s talent and innate aptitude were even more formidable.

It must be admitted that the talent of Ant Emperor was unparalleled in the world. From a humble ant embarking on the path of cultivation, he repeatedly shattered his own limits and broke the shackles of his bloodline. He was, in himself, a miraculous figure.

Had it not been for his lack of backing in earlier years and the absence of a sufficiently refined cultivation system, he might have long since stepped into the realm of the Supreme Sovereign.

Of course, in the boundless chaos, prodigies were as numerous as carps swimming across a river. Such Chaos Heavenly Emperors were hardly rare, yet the vast majority found their paths halted at the Heavenly Emperor realm for various reasons.

Most of these individuals who fail to break through to the Supreme Realm share 1 commonality: the absence of a backer at the Supreme level.

Not only did they lack resources, but their limited understanding in earlier years had also caused their foundational potential to reach its limit, making it nearly impossible for them to advance any further.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but feel deeply moved, experiencing a tinge of regret for the Ant Emperor.

Of course, had Ant Emperor been granted a stable cultivation environment without enduring those countless trials and tribulations, he might never have attained such profound realms of power.

After all, throughout his life, Ant Emperor had repeatedly shattered his limits and broken through his own constraints only when pushed to the brink of death in desperate situations.

"If you desire the cultivation method of the Divine Form of Ultimate Strength, I shall gladly present it to you with both hands."

The Ant Emperor spoke slowly as he retrieved an ancient scripture scroll, then turned his gaze to Eldrin and said, "However, I have 1 request that I hope you will agree to."

"There is no need for such formalities."

Eldrin shook his head and spoke, "If there is anything you seek, speak freely. I shall assist within my means."

The Ant Emperor gave a slight nod, then summoned Tianxing before speaking. "My youngest son is ready to breakthrough to the Emperor Realm. I would like to request your assistance in lending him a hand."

Eldrin gave a slight nod and said with a gentle smile, "I, too, share an old friendship with Tianxing. Allow me to lend you a hand."

As his words faded, Eldrin (Person Name) bestowed a token upon Tianxing before speaking again, "Take this and go to the Abyssal Treasury to claim a single chance at the Celestial Emperor’s legacy."

Upon hearing this, Tianxing immediately revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

You must understand, the Celestial Emperor opportunity of the Abyssal Return lineage was far more than just a wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi. It also included 4 or 5 treasures, among them a Chaos Immortal Pill, along with 1 chance to utilize the Cosmic Creation Cauldron.

The mere opportunity to use the Qiankun Creation Cauldron (Magic Treasure) alone would increase his chances of attaining the Heavenly Emperor realm by 30 percent. With the assistance of various other treasures, his probability of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor realm would be no less than 70 to 80 percent.

At this thought, Tianxing (Person Name) promptly bowed and said, "My gratitude."

Eldrin nodded slightly. Only after Tianxing had departed did he turn his gaze toward the Ant Emperor and remark, "Fellow Daoist, with your innate talent and extraordinary comprehension, you may very well glimpse the realm of the Supreme Sovereign."

"The stones of other hills may serve to polish the jade."

"Fellow Daoist, rather than remaining confined within the 100 Realms of the Returning Abyss, you would do better to venture forth and wander through the chaos."

The Ant Emperor nodded slightly, then said with a smile, "Now that this lad has broken through, I can finally set my heart at ease."

"Before long, I too shall depart from the 100 Realms of the Returning Abyss, venturing into the depths of chaos to witness the world beyond. Yet none can tell what distant year or month shall mark my return."

Eldrin gave a slight nod before speaking, "Chaos and vastness, even they have their limits; time without bounds, still possesses an end."

"I believe that even though the years may stretch long, we shall surely meet again 1 day."

After bidding farewell to the Ant Emperor, Eldrin returned to his sanctuary, setting aside all distracting thoughts before retrieving the 2 ancient scriptures left by Panhuang and the Ant Emperor.

"Strength Extreme Divine Form, the Divine Form of Power."

After reading through the 2 ancient scrolls, Eldrin murmured slowly, a glimmer of enlightenment dawning in his eyes.

It must be admitted that these 2 ancient scriptures could truly be called extraordinary—each 1 contained the most supreme cultivation method for refining the True Spirit Form.

Its core forms, the Power Extremity Divine Form and the Power Divine Form, can only be cultivated successfully through comprehending the Great Dao of Power Extremity and the Great Dao of Power.

These 2 great Daos, both possessing the supreme potential of the Infinite Dao, could theoretically lead 1 to the Half-Step Infinite Realm when cultivated as primary paths—with even a sliver of potential to ascend as an Infinite Sovereign.

However, cultivating these 2 great divine forms required crucial medicinal catalysts. Fortunately, the Chen lineage now possessed profound foundations, and gathering the resources needed to master both divine forms was well within their means.

Thus, in the days that followed, Eldrin ceaselessly contemplated the Dao of Strength and the Dao of Force, continuously refining the power of these 2 Great Daos. Before long, he had grasped the true forms of these Great Daos.

He then merged the 2 great Dao manifestations into his physical form, refining various rare treasures of strength to enhance his bodily power, and even refined 2 Chaos Spiritual Treasures of the strength attribute to cultivate 2 divine forms.

After cultivating 2 great divine forms, he then calmly summoned the Primordial Beginning Qi.

Then, with the Primordial Chaos Primordial Qi as the core, the Force Extreme Divine Form and the Force Divine Form spiraled and merged together, ultimately transforming into a supreme divine form.

"Finally, it is done."

Witnessing the ultimate divine form successfully cultivated, Eldrin finally revealed a faint smile, then murmured thoughtfully, "This divine form was attained through the Dao of Pan Huang and the Ant Emperor. Let it be named the Pan-Ant Body."

Thus, Eldrin's eighth ultimate divine form—the Body of the Coiling Ant—was successfully cultivated.

Eldrin continued to channel the power of the Pan Ant Body, and in that instant, he uncovered the profound mysteries contained within it.

Compared to other foundational attributes, the enhancement of the Ant-Treading Body primarily manifests in the amplification of physical strength.

The original Path of Strength greatly enhanced 1's physical foundation, compensating for the inherent deficiencies in bodily power among cultivators.

However, the Path of Extreme Strength slightly falls short in enhancing physical constitution, yet excels in unleashing several times the ultimate explosive force.

These 2 Great Daos could be considered the ultimate manifestations of power-based Daos, yet they possessed a limited domain. Their enhancement effects diminished significantly for experts at the Heavenly Emperor level and beyond.

Eldrin, having merged them to manifest the ultimate Chaos Divine Form, not only possessed the effects of the 2 Great Daos but transcended their utmost extremes.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, after cultivating this Ant Swarm Body, his physical strength had increased by nearly double, while his short-term explosive power had improved by a significant margin.

Don't underestimate this mere doubling of power. You must understand that he had already cultivated the Supreme Physique—a state of perfection far beyond mortal comprehension. His physical strength had long surpassed what even a Celestial Emperor could hope to match.

On this foundation, Eldrin's (Person Name) power could still increase by nearly double—a truly astonishing transformation.

"With the addition of 3 ultimate divine forms, my physical combat prowess should now be approaching the Half-Step Wuji realm."

Eldrin murmured softly, a rare smile gracing his lips.

During this period of cultivation, his Chaos Indestructible Body had improved tremendously. His strength, defense, and vitality had all increased by nearly double.

These were fundamental enhancements, comprehensively strengthening his physical foundation and causing a qualitative transformation in his overall combat prowess.

"8 ultimate divine forms have been mastered. As for the ninth ultimate divine form, I must carefully deliberate on how to cultivate it."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a contemplative expression gradually dawning upon his features.

He needed to cultivate 9 ultimate divine forms before his foundation and accumulated essence could reach perfection. Only by merging them into the Supreme Divine Form could he ascend directly to the Half-Step Realm of Boundless Infinity.

But the selection of the ninth divine form was a matter of utmost importance, for it would determine whether he could ultimately merge all 9 divine forms into 1, converging them into the ultimate singular divine form.

"My 8 Divine Forms are far too powerful. The difficulty of fully integrating them is likely far greater than I had anticipated."

"Thus, this ninth divine form must serve as preparation for fusing the 8 great divine forms."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, swiftly suppressing the wandering thoughts.

Since he had yet to devise a method to cultivate the ninth Chaos Divine Form, Eldrin turned his attention to examining the rest of his foundational aspects.

After repeated examination, Eldrin found that his foundational aspects—his physical body, primordial spirit, and Great Dao—had all reached their absolute limits, leaving no room for rapid advancement in the short term.

What could further enhance his combat prowess was none other than a superior-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

After much deliberation, Eldrin retrieved the Void Return Seal and began advancing this life-bound treasure.

In truth, long ago when Eldrin had achieved the Great Path of the Supreme, he could have already elevated the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, this peerless treasure.

It was only because Eldrin (Person Name) had advanced swiftly in his cultivation over the years, dedicating most of his efforts to enhancing his power, that he had set this matter aside for the time being.

His cultivation had now reached a bottleneck, so Eldrin decided to complete this matter as soon as possible.

As Eldrin continuously integrated the Primordial Chaos Primordial Qi and incorporated various Chaos Treasures, the advancement of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss began to proceed as naturally as water flowing downhill.

After expending 20-4 strands of Primordial Inception Qi in succession, the Abyssal Seal finally completed its ascension, transforming into a mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Artifact.

"Not bad."

Witnessing the successful ascension of the Abyssal Return Seal, a trace of satisfaction flickered across Eldrin’s face.

During this advancement of the Guixu Seal into a mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure, its power had increased by no less than tenfold from its original foundation.

You must understand, the original power of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss was already comparable to a top-tier mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Artifact.

Now, having successfully advanced once more, its power has surpassed the realm of mid-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures, rivaling even those of high-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures.

The Abyssal Seal was no ordinary top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure. It was a versatile combat artifact capable of both offense and defense, sealing void space, and even transforming into a grand formation to trap enemies.

With this treasure in hand, the enhancement to Eldrin's overall combat prowess could be described as immense.

"At my current level of Half-Step Eldrin, I should no longer be considered weak by any measure."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then stored away the Sigil of Returning Abyss and retrieved a withered seed.

This seed was wreathed in an aura of death, its vitality completely severed with no possibility of revival.

Seed of the Soul-Refining Fruit Tree.

Eldrin pondered inwardly, then directly invoked the Life Great Dao to revive the seed. Yet he discovered an extremely dreadful curse energy lingering upon it, hindering the revival by the Life Great Dao.

"The power of the Yin Curse—that is the filthy insect's doing."

Eldrin's gaze turned icy as he instantly recognized the handiwork of the Yin Curse Sovereign.

After a cold snort, he took out the Abyssal Pearl and continuously devoured the Yin Curse power, finally managing to completely consume this force.

Eldrin then summoned the Dao of Life once more, continuously cleansing the seed until all traces of death energy were thoroughly purged, leaving behind a faint glimmer of vitality.

"Finally, I've successfully revived."

A glimmer of comprehension surfaced in Eldrin's eyes. He then retrieved the Qiankun Yiqi Bottle (Magic Treasure) and began accelerating the maturation of the Human Soul Fruit Tree. In short order, he nurtured it to the realm of the Human Soul Divine Tree.

At this stage, the Human Soul Sacred Tree could no longer advance even an inch.

He then retrieved the Celestial Soul Divine Tree and the Earthly Soul Divine Tree, channeling the power of the Great Dao of Life to merge the energies of the 3 divine trees into 1. In the end, he resurrected the legendary Chaos Trinity Soul Tree, whose might had once shaken the primordial chaos in ancient times.

Chaos 3 Souls Tree.

Gazing upon the Chaos Trinity Soul Tree, a rare trace of melancholy surfaced on Eldrin's face.

This Chaos 3 Souls Tree was originally a top-grade Chaos Spiritual Root, acclaimed alongside the Chaos 7 Souls Tree as 1 of the 2 supreme treasures of the soul path.

Chapter 1 The wind howled through the jagged peaks of the Azure Dragon Mountains, carrying with it the scent of pine and a faint, metallic tang of blood. A lone figure knelt in a secluded valley, his white robes torn and stained crimson. This was Lin Feng. Before him lay the still form of his master, Elder Wu. The old man's face was pale, his life force extinguished. Just hours ago, the Profound Sky Sect had been annihilated, their ancestral halls burned to ashes, their disciples slaughtered. Only Lin Feng had escaped, carrying his master's final words and a single, desperate hope. "Feng'er..." Elder Wu's voice had been a mere whisper, his breath rattling. "You... you must survive. Take this... the Primordial Chaos Codex(Ancient Scripture). It is our sect's greatest legacy, the key to... to everything. Reach the Foundation Establishment realm... you must..." Those were his last words. Now, Lin Feng clutched a simple jade slip in his hand—the Primordial Chaos Codex. His spiritual roots were mediocre, his cultivation stuck at the 7th level of Qi Refining for 3 years. He was a nobody, an outer disciple the sect barely acknowledged. And yet, fate had chosen him. He closed his eyes, circulating the meager spiritual energy within his dantian. The familiar, sluggish flow was a constant reminder of his limitations. 'Mediocre Spiritual Root(Primordial Chaos Codex Concept),' they had called it. A death sentence in the ruthless world of cultivation. A cold resolve hardened in his heart. He would not die here. He would not let his master's sacrifice be in vain. "I swear upon my soul, Master," Lin Feng whispered to the uncaring wind, his voice raw with grief and newfound determination. "I will master the Primordial Chaos Codex. I will reach Foundation Establishment. I will make the Blood Shadow Sect pay. This debt of blood will be settled, even if it takes me 10 1000 years." He rose to his feet, his body aching, his spirit weary but unbroken. The jade slip felt warm in his palm, a tiny ember of hope in the overwhelming darkness. His journey of vengeance and ascension had begun.
