Chapter 2156 : Chaos 3 Soul Tree

In the ancient past, following the fall of the once-unknown Nameless, the Chaos 7 Souls Tree was seized by the enemies of the Nameless Sovereign. Meanwhile, the 3 Souls Fruit Tree split into 3 fragments.

Now that time had passed and circumstances changed, the Chaos 3 Souls Tree had once again emerged into the mortal realm.

Of course, the current Chaos Trinity Soul Tree was merely a low-grade Chaos Spiritual Root, and the path to restoring its former peak remained arduous beyond measure.

Eldrin had no choice but to continuously channel the Primordial Inception Qi. After expending 9 strands of Primordial Inception Qi in succession, he managed to restore his peak potential. All that remained was to replenish his foundational essence for a complete recovery.

However, the celestial hierarchy of the Eldrin 100 Domains had its limits. It could barely sustain the growth of the top-grade Chaos Spirit Root ‘Li Wind Gourd Vine’, let alone support the immense consumption required for the recovery of the Chaos 3 Souls Tree.

Eldrin had no choice but to store it away, intending to bring it to a major Chaos Realm for restoration in the future.

That massive Chaos Realm possessed abundant origin energy, its rank should be sufficient to sustain 3 top-grade Chaos Spiritual Roots.

However, Eldrin did not immediately head for the major Chaos Secret Realm, instead remaining within the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss to await the breakthroughs of Jiang Huang and the others.

After receiving the treasures and the Harmony Dao Method bestowed by Eldrin, Emperor Jiang and the others had already begun breaking through their cultivation realms 1 after another.

In the time that followed, Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Yan Ziji, Lila (Person Name), Lingxi, Emperor Jiang, Chen Xianzhu, Chen Ethan (Person Name), Ye Yinghui, and Ye Qingfeng—9 individuals in total—successively attempted to breach the Dao Unification Realm.

After a mere 10 1000-some kalpas, they had all broken through successfully, ultimately attaining the realm of the Supreme.

With the aid of the supreme Chaos spiritual treasure, Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron (Magic Treasure), all 9 of them cultivated both the Supreme Immortal Codex (Cultivation Method) and the Supreme Immortal Domain (Cultivation Method) simultaneously.

Thus, though they had only just stepped into the Realm of the Paramount Sovereign, their combat prowess already rivaled that of the most elite Paramount Sovereigns.

When all 9 had successfully broken through, Eldrin immediately gathered everyone and nodded with satisfaction. "You've all done fairly well."

"As I mentioned before, once you achieved your breakthrough, I would take you to a cultivation sanctuary. Now that you have succeeded, follow me."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, a trace of delight flickering across their faces.

They had a feeling that this time, Eldrin might bestow upon them an astonishing opportunity.

Eldrin offered no further explanation. Instead, harnessing the power of the Abyssal Pearl, he silently guided them through the boundless chaos until they arrived within the ancient realm of the Shadow Mastiffs.

Then he had everyone conceal their auras and silently entered the Chaos Realm.

Arriving at the shore of the Supreme Immortal Lake, Eldrin gazed at the myriad rare treasures within its waters and declared, "Seclude yourselves here for cultivation. I believe these Supreme Immortal Liquids shall suffice to propel your cultivation to astonishing heights."

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly revealed expressions of ecstatic delight.

Eldrin (Person Name)没有多言什么，只是以时空属性的混沌灵宝，辅助寰天晷在此地布下了一道时空领域大阵。

He believed that with over 1 100 1000 kalpas of cultivation in the outside world, 30 million kalpas of training in this realm, and the empowerment of these Supreme God Liquids, their cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.

After completing all this, Eldrin returned to the central islet and planted the Chaos Tri-Soul Tree here.

Then, gazing at the central isle, he fell into deep contemplation. "This Chaos Realm can sustain 3 superior-grade Chaos Spirit Roots. How should I choose them?"

Eldrin murmured softly, having refined a strand of Primordial Inception Qi in just over 1 100 and 60 kalpas. Now, after cultivating for tens of thousands of kalpas, he naturally lacked no shortage of Primordial Inception Qi in his possession.

Since he lacked no Primordial Chaos Qi, he was ready to advance several Chaos Spiritual Roots once more.

After much deliberation, Eldrin ultimately chose to cultivate the Chaos Spirit Root that would enhance his physical cultivation.

To cultivate the physical body demanded an exorbitant amount of resources. In preparation for his future pursuit of the Limitless Form, he had to begin laying the foundations for bodily refinement.

After much deliberation on how to select a Chaos Spirit Root, Eldrin ultimately chose to cultivate 2 spirit roots: the Ancient Tree of Life and the Chaos 5 Elements Ancient Tree.

Between these 2 ancient trees, the life force enhanced by the Tree of Life could replenish his vitality and even strengthen the power of his Chaos Divine Form Eternal Body.

The Chaos 5 Elements Ancient Tree contained the purest essence of primordial chaos and the 5 elements, capable of comprehensively enhancing his physical body while enriching the foundation and potential of the Chaos Cauldron.

After nurturing 2 spiritual roots with the Primordial Qi of Creation, Eldrin planted them within the Chaos Realm.

Even if such a superior-grade Chaos Spirit Root were planted, nurturing it to bear superior-grade Chaos Spirit Fruits would require an exceedingly long period of cultivation and vast amounts of time to absorb the primordial energy of the Chaos Realm.

After planting them, Eldrin did not interfere with the growth of the 2 Chaos Spirit Roots. Instead, he sought out the Treasure-Hunting Rat.

"Cheep cheep cheep cheep."

Seeing Eldrin emerge, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse finally let out a series of excited chirps and eagerly pounced toward him, then proceeded to swallow the mountain-like pile of immortal metals and divine materials.

Eldrin's eyes gleamed faintly as he stroked its head with satisfaction. "Not bad at all," he remarked.

"Chitter chitter chitter chitter."

The treasure-hunting mouse lifted its head with an air of pride, emitting a series of cheerful squeaks that grew increasingly lively.

Eldrin smiled faintly, sifting through a pile of immortal metals until he retrieved 30-some pieces of arcane silver. Each 1 was a mid-grade Chaos spiritual treasure of unparalleled quality.

To his astonishment, amidst a pile of immortal gold, he even discovered several pieces of mithril and adamantine at the level of premium-grade Chaos Treasures, bringing a look of pleasant surprise to Eldrin's face.

Although a superior-grade Chaos Oddity is not a superior-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure, it only requires the infusion of Primordial Inception Qi to ascend into a superior-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

For Eldrin, who never lacked Primordial Chaos Qi, these were merely a few supreme treasures that enhanced the physical body's defense.

"What a fine treasure."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, unable to suppress a satisfied smile.

He scooped up the treasure-hunting rat and lavished it with praise before declaring, "It seems you haven't been slacking off. I shall grant you an opportunity to attain enlightenment."

As the words faded, Eldrin took out several strands of Primordial Chaos Qi and merged them into the treasure-seeking mouse's body.

After integrating several strands of Primordial Qi in succession, the treasure-hunting mouse suddenly noticed a subtle change—a patch of purple fur had sprouted amidst its golden coat.

It must be admitted that the Treasure-Seeking Mouse truly possessed an extraordinary bloodline, with remarkable potential and malleability.

Coupled with the treasure-hunting mouse's heaven-defying ability to sense treasures, if not for the heavens' envy leaving it with extremely low intelligence, it might very well have been able to amass enough treasures to become a Chaos Sovereign.

However, after incurring Heaven's Wrath, the treasure-hunting rodent remained exceptionally low in spiritual intelligence. Unable to cultivate through instinct alone, its cultivation progress became extremely sluggish, forever barred from breaking through the limitations of its bloodline.

"Your bloodline potential has reached the Half-Step Limitless realm, which can be considered quite remarkable."

After the treasure-seeking mouse had fully absorbed the Primordial Beginning Qi, Eldrin murmured softly, a trace of relief coloring his expression.

If this treasure-hunting mouse could reach the half-step Wuji level, it would undoubtedly play a crucial role in his future exploration of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

At this thought, Eldrin patted the treasure-hunting mouse's head and said, "Go to the Supreme Immortal Lake to enhance your cultivation. In time, I shall take you to a far greater Primordial Chaos Realm."

"Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep."

Hearing him mention treasures, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse's eyes instantly gleamed as it emitted a series of squeaking chirps.

Eldrin smiled faintly, then sent it into the Supreme Immortal Lake before beginning to refine the Mithril and Adamantine.

He began by refining medium-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures such as Adamantine and Mithril, continuously enhancing his physical strength and foundational reserves.

Although the enhancement to physical defense brought by refining adamantine and mithril gradually diminished through continuous tempering, an immense transformation ultimately took hold.

After fully refining over 20 pieces of goldstone and mithril, Eldrin discovered that further refinement of these materials now offered only negligible improvement to his cultivation.

"Have I reached my limit?"

At that moment, Eldrin murmured inwardly to himself. After some experimentation, he discovered his physical defense had increased approximately threefold from its original state.

At this level, the physical defense was already comparable to a body tempered to the half-step Infinite realm.

“哪怕是顶尖半步无极层次的强者，常态手段恐怕也很难伤到我了，只有极限爆发才能够对我造成一定威胁。”

Eldrin made a mental calculation, then retrieved another piece of premium-grade Chaos Aurum and a piece of premium-grade Chaos Argentum.

Without hesitation, he directly consumed 18 strands of Primordial Inception Qi, elevating the 2 pieces of immortal gold into superior-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures.

These 2 peerless spiritual treasures were the Primordial Chaos Essence Gold and the Primordial Chaos Mystic Silver.

Such a peerless treasure was exceedingly rare even within the entire primordial chaos. It could only be conceived when a major primordial chaos realm manifested for the first time, and even then, it typically yielded merely 1 or 2 portions.

They could forge top-grade Chaos God Armor, the standard equipment for powerhouses at the level of Chaos Overlords.

This was also 1 of the reasons why the Destruction Lords and others prevented younger generations from achieving the Dao. With too few Chaos Lords in the primordial chaos, no 1 could contend with them for these superior-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures.

Thus, those Chaos Overlords were able to plunder the entire Chaos, each possessing several top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures, with even surplus ones bestowed upon their Quasi-Supreme disciples.

If Eldrin (Person Name) guessed correctly, the 7 Domains Alliance possessed at least several upper-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures (Magic Treasure), otherwise they could not have stood unshaken in the Chaos Realm for so many years.

"With my current cultivation level, refining a top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure is still somewhat of a stretch. Yet once successful, it would undoubtedly bring about a qualitative transformation."

"There's no harm in giving it a try."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then began to extract and refine the Wuji Essence Gold.

At first, he attempted to channel his physical strength, trying to forcibly shatter the Wuji Essence Gold. Yet, the Wuji Essence Gold remained completely unmoved, without the slightest hint of fracturing.

"No, the Limitless Adamantine is incomparably sturdy, hailed as a supreme treasure immune to all physical force. It can only be breached through magical power."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then summoned the power of his Supreme Divine Form to refine this Limitless Auric Gold.

This Supreme Divine Form possessed the power of 3 ultimate forces: the Chaos Pearl, the Abyssal Reversion Disk, and the Axe of Annihilation. Though these 3 supreme forces intertwined, relentlessly striving to grind away the Primordial Chaos Gold, they still proved insufficient to overcome its resilience.

"The ultimate divine form, fused from the highest powers, could not harm it in the slightest. Truly worthy of being called a top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure."

Eldrin let out an admiring sigh, then directly manifested 12 supreme treasures through the Seal of Returning Abyss to form an array. He then took out the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron to serve as the array’s core, further leveraging the power of the grand Chaos Realm to complete the formation.

The might of this formation could truly be called heaven-defying—it was none other than a Chaos Primordial Formation of the third Chaos Realm.

Thereupon, he stepped into the Qiankun Creation Cauldron together with the Wuji Auric Gold.

Eldrin sat cross-legged at the center of the great cauldron, his entire being amplified by the grand formation's empowerment. His cultivation and combat prowess surged to the absolute pinnacle of the Supreme Realm, even verging on brushing against the domain of the Infinite.

"With the power of the grand formation and a top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure, I refuse to believe I cannot refine you."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then began channeling the full extent of his foundation. Harnessing the primordial truths of Destruction and the Returning Abyss, he commenced refining the Limitless Aurum.

Yet even so, his refinement progressed at an excruciatingly slow pace, allowing him to absorb only faint traces of its power bit by bit.

Thus time flew by swiftly. Only after millions of kalpas had passed within the formation did that piece of Wuji Essence Gold finally finish being refined, completely merging into his Chaos Indestructible Body.

After fully refining the Primordial Chaos Gold, Eldrin finally awakened from his secluded cultivation.

"Clang—clang—"

He channeled all his strength into his physical body, and a faint golden light immediately shimmered across his skin. After a series of strikes, he remained completely unscathed.

To pit 1's own spear against 1's own shield.

Even if he were to strike with all his might now, he could no longer harm me in the slightest.

"My physical defense should be unparalleled beneath the level of a Dominator."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then took out the Wuji Mystic Silver to begin refining it.

While refining the Primordial Mithril, Eldrin discovered that his previous methods had become utterly useless. This Primordial Mithril possessed absolute immunity to magical power—even the Primordial Sovereign would struggle to destroy it.

Eldrin then shifted his approach, directly manifesting the Axe of Annihilation. With the power of the formation array bolstering his body, he channeled the strength of the Ant-Turn Technique to relentlessly strike the Chaotic Mithril.

Thus, he was finally able to chip off a few fragments. By continuously grinding them with the power of the Chaos Ancient Pearl and the Abyssal Return Disc, he ultimately refined them into the purest essence of mithril.

The progress was excruciatingly slow, yet inch by inch, advancement was gradually being made.

Until millions of kalpas later, he finally absorbed this piece of Infinite Mystic Silver completely, merging it into his own fleshly body.

After absorbing the Mithril of Infinity, a faint silvery glow once again permeated his physical form. This radiance merged with the golden light, ultimately transforming into a hazy, chaotic luminescence.

"The Arcane Silver's immunity to magical power has merged with the Arcane Gold's immunity to physical force."

"After refining the 2 supreme treasures, my Indestructible Body has undergone a qualitative transformation. This should be the power of the third realm of Chaos."

Eldrin murmured softly under his breath, then channeled this power with all his might. To his astonishment, his physical foundation defense underwent a tremendous enhancement, while the defensive capabilities of his Indestructible Body experienced a qualitative transformation.

With such defensive enhancement, even a top-tier Half-Step Wuji expert probably couldn't breach his defenses. Only by summoning a superior-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure might 1 manage to harm him.

His physical body's realm was still insufficient. If he could cultivate the 9 ultimate divine forms and fuse them into the 3 supreme divine forms, he would likely possess some resistance even when facing the Primordial Chaos Dominus.

"Soon, step by step, I will eventually withstand the methods of those Chaos Overlords and cultivate into a Soul Dao Supreme of the Harmony Path realm."

At this thought, Eldrin slowly withdrew his focus. After a moment of contemplation, he began dividing his consciousness into 9 distinct divine soul fragments.

In truth, Eldrin's soul cultivation had long reached the level where he could complete the practice of splitting his divine soul.

However, after soul division, 1 would enter a period of weakness. Previously, when Eldrin merged with the supreme divine form and sought to break through the path of supremacy, both required a powerful primordial spirit to advance his cultivation. For this reason, he had never rushed to divide his soul.

At this point, his soul cultivation had been severely depleted. It could no longer contribute meaningfully to continuing the Path of Unity, nor was there any need to further refine the Primordial Chaos Gold. The time had come to practice the soul-splitting divine ability.

After severing the 9 soul fragments and part of his primordial spirit, Eldrin's (Person Name) spiritual cultivation instantly plummeted to the nascent stage of the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

Thus, he stepped directly into the Supreme Immortal Pond and began secluded cultivation to restore his primordial spirit cultivation base, while also sending his 9 divine ability soul clones continuously into the dream cycle for latent cultivation.

Thus time flowed swiftly by, and after countless kalpas had passed, Eldrin's true spirit finally recovered to the half-step Dao Unity realm.

"The primordial spirit has weakened considerably."

Eldrin murmured softly. Though his soul had regained the Half-Step Unity Realm, the absence of the 9 great Chaos Divine Abilities had significantly diminished its true power.

Fortunately, his current soul cultivation was but a negligible speck compared to his physical body and Dao attainment, thus his overall strength remained largely unchanged.

"This secluded cultivation has spanned I know not how many kalpas."

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he performed a finger-calculation, only to discover that during his time in seclusion, a staggering 30,000 kalpas had passed in the outside world.

Including the time spent in cultivation during his previous seclusions, his lifespan had unknowingly surpassed 87,000 kalpas.

This was merely the passage of time in the outside world. If measured by the Chrono-Divine Realm’s flow, it would amount to countless eons beyond reckoning.

"In the mountains, time stands still, yet a millennium has passed in the mortal world."

Eldrin (Person Name) let out a faint sigh before rising and stepping out of his secluded cultivation chamber.

Amidst this prolonged seclusion, he had already begun to feel the tedium, and it was time to emerge from stillness into motion for a journey beyond the gates.

Before leaving the Chaotic Realm, he first examined the 3 premium-grade Chaos Spirit Roots. They had already blossomed, but it appeared they would require another 70 to 80 1000 kalpas before bearing fruit.

A top-grade Chaos Spirit Root bears fruit only once every million kalpas. Moreover, its rank is so exalted that even without conflicting with Eldrin's Spacetime Divine Form, the temporal acceleration effect would be drastically diminished.

To reduce it to around 100,000 kalpas was already the absolute limit of what Eldrin could achieve.

Seeing that the Chaos Spirit Root was still unable to ripen, Eldrin cast another glance at the 9 Supreme Masters of the Self-Sacrificial Path, including Jiang Huang.

At this moment, they were still in secluded cultivation and had successfully cultivated another 2 or 3 Chaos Immortal Depositories. It appeared they were not far from breaking through to the second Supreme Immortal Depository.

The difficulty of merging the Supreme Immortal Vault was clearly far greater than that of merging the Supreme Dao.

Eldrin took stock of his remaining resources and found he only had 8 stalks of Wuji Grass left. This would only be enough to refine 8 Minor Wuji Elixirs—hardly sufficient to cultivate 9 Half-Step Wuji combatants.

"The Wuji Herb is still insufficient. It seems I must devise a plan."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then departed from the Chaotic Realm.

Emerging from the Chaotic Realm, he first returned to the Abyssal 100 Domains to find no significant events occurring within his clan. Without delay, he proceeded directly toward the 7 Domains Alliance.

As far as he knew, the 7 Domains Alliance was still at war with the forces under the Netherworld Sovereign, and the conflict had reached an extremely critical juncture.

For most Dao Integration Sovereigns, this was an exceedingly perilous war, yet it also presented him with a prime opportunity to amass resources.

Chapter 1 The Azure Cloud Sect's outer gate examination had just concluded. Lin Xuan stood silently amidst the crowd, his fingers tracing the worn jade slip in his sleeve—a legacy from his father, who had vanished 3 years ago. The slip recorded a long-lost cultivation method known as the "9 Revolutions Profound Art," but its first step required a rare resource: 100-Year Starlight Grass. "Next! Lin Xuan!" an elder called out, his voice echoing across the mountain plaza. Lin Xuan stepped forward, his gaze calm. He had prepared for this day for over a decade. Though his talent was mediocre, the 9 Revolutions Profound Art promised a path beyond the ordinary. The elder inspected his spiritual roots and frowned. "Fifth-grade spiritual roots... barely passable. You may enter the outer sect, but remember—the cultivation world is merciless. Without resources, even geniuses fade into obscurity." Lin Xuan bowed, his mind already focused on his next move. According to the jade slip, a patch of 100-Year Starlight Grass grew deep within the Misty Rain Valley, a dangerous region plagued by ferocious beasts and treacherous terrain. Many outer disciples had perished there, but he had no choice. 3 days later, beneath a moonless sky, Lin Xuan slipped into the valley. After navigating through winding paths and evading several low-level demonic beasts, he finally reached a hidden cliffside. There, shimmering under the faint starlight, was a cluster of 100-Year Starlight Grass—exactly what he needed. Just as he reached out to harvest it, a cold voice cut through the darkness. "I've been waiting for you, boy." A tall figure emerged from the shadows, clad in black robes embroidered with silver serpent patterns. It was Elder Mo's disciple, Zhang Hu—a notorious bully in the outer sect. Zhang Hu sneered, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "Hand over the Starlight Grass, and I might let you leave with your life." Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed. "Why should I? I found it first." "Because the strong make the rules," Zhang Hu replied, drawing his blade. "And you are weak." A surge of anger rose within Lin Xuan, but he forced it down. Fighting now would be suicide. Instead, he recalled a passage from the 9 Revolutions Profound Art—a technique to conceal 1's presence. "Fine," Lin Xuan said, tossing the Starlight Grass toward Zhang Hu. As Zhang Hu reached to catch it, Lin Xuan channeled his spiritual energy and vanished into the mist. Zhang Hu stared blankly at the empty space where Lin Xuan had stood. "Impossible... How did he disappear?" Meanwhile, Lin Xuan reappeared deep within a nearby cave, his heart racing. He hadn't actually surrendered the Starlight Grass—he had used an illusion technique to swap it with a common herb. The real Starlight Grass was safely stored in his spatial pouch. He took a deep breath and unfolded the jade slip. The characters glowed with a soft light, revealing the next stage of the cultivation method: "Gather the Starlight Grass under a full moon and refine it with the 9 Revolutions Profound Art to awaken the Starlight Body." Lin Xuan smiled. His journey had just begun.
