Chapter 2163 : Enter the Jar
These 7 individuals were all peerless supremes, counted among the strongest prodigies across the entire primordial chaos, ranking within the top 1 100 of the Supreme Celestial Leaderboard.
Among the 7, the 4 progenitors of the immortal path need no elaboration—Cang, Hong, Luo, and Yuan, 4 peerless supremes of the ages.
These 4 individuals were all beings with heaven-defying combat prowess, each ranking among the top 50 on the Supreme Paragon List.
Among them, Cang wielded the peerless weapon of slaughter, the 'Cangxu 9 Calamities Sword' (Magic Treasure), a set of Chaos Spiritual Treasures comprising 1 superior-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure main sword and 8 mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure sub-swords.
In bygone days, ‘Cang’ relied on the Cangxu 9 Calamities Sword to dominate the primordial chaos, finding no match among his peers. He was ranked ninth on the list of Supreme Paragons.
Hong pioneered the Path of Return and Concealment, becoming the foremost master of the Heavenly Secrets Dao. Since ancient times, he had rarely intervened directly, yet his strategies remained flawless and inexorable. Among all the founding ancestors of immortal cultivation, he stood as the most enigmatic figure.
Yuan was a founding master of array formations, who cultivated a set of 70-2 Chaos Array Banners known as the ‘Heavenly Abyss Earthly Fiend Sage-Shattering Banners’. Each banner ranked as a mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and when deployed, they could refine even a peerless supreme being.
It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin’s power shook the ages, ranking him among the top 10 of the peerless Supreme Ones.
Luo, the Patriarch of Puppets, was said to cultivate a legion of 3,000 Celestial Emperor puppets. When combined with the arts of the Abyss to deploy a grand formation, he could roam the primordial chaos with no match to be found.
However, setting up this formation was extremely intricate, and he alone could not activate it. It could only be used in positional warfare where timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony aligned perfectly.
At this moment, Luo was accompanied by only a dozen puppets. Yet each of these puppets had been forged from vast quantities of premium-grade Chaos Treasures, their cultivation realms rivaling the Half-Step Boundless Realm.
The 3 founders of the path were Xuan (Person Name), Elder Celestial Stele (Person Name), and Ancestral Jade Flute Daoist (Person Name).
Xuan was that woman of unparalleled elegance, the dao companion of ‘Cang’. Her dao title was ‘Primordial Mystic Lady’. She pioneered the path of mystic arts, using the methods of mystic energy to step into the half-step realm of the Infinite.
The Path of Mysteries transcends the established celestial dao, standing as 1 of the mightiest cultivation paths beyond orthodox immortality, its influence spreading boundlessly throughout the primordial chaos.
The ‘Celestial Stele Elder’ was a broken stone stele that achieved enlightenment. Legend has it that it originated from beyond this Chaos Epoch, and upon its fractured surface was carved a scripture that did not belong to this era.
This Celestial Stele was indestructible, as if it had weathered the great tribulation of Chaos Returning to Ruin.
For reasons unknown, the Celestial Stele Elder awakened his spiritual wisdom and thus embarked upon the path of cultivation.
In those days, he often carried the Celestial Stele on his back, traversing the primordial chaos to disseminate the Chaos Scriptures of the previous epoch. Thus, he came to be known as the Old Man of the Celestial Stele, while some addressed him as the Celestial Stele Patriarch.
The last of them, the Jade Flute Dao Ancestor, was said to have been a mere mortal who attained enlightenment through the art of music, pioneering the path of melodic cultivation. His cultivation reached the very threshold of the Half-Step Infinite Realm, and he held a notable rank on the List of Peerless Supreme Masters.
Thus, the sudden assault from 7 supreme overlords instantly struck the Crown Prince of the Netherworld and his followers with terror.
What was most terrifying was that Eldrin had already gained control over the natural grand formation of this chaotic fire vein, transforming it into a super killing array.
4 Ancestors of Immortal Dao, 3 Heroes of Path Creation.
Seeing themselves surrounded, the Crown Prince of Netherrealm finally lost his composure. His face twisted with shock and fury as he spat, "How dare you people of the 7 Realms Alliance besiege us, the chosen of the Sovereign Holy Land?"
"Hah—"
Cang Leng let out a cold sneer, yet paid no heed to the Nether Prince, instead turning his gaze toward Eldrin (Person Name).
Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod before speaking, "Had it not been necessary to capture you, this venerable 1 would not have squandered such considerable time."
"So that's how it is."
Seeing this, the Flaming Prison Heavenly Lord revealed a bitter smile. At this moment, he finally understood everything.
With a treasure-seeking mouse, Eldrin could have headed straight for the Primordial Fire Vein, yet he squandered a great deal of time along the way.
The reason for this maneuver was to buy time, allowing the 7 Realms Alliance to arrive first and set up an ambush, ready to ensnare them the moment they stepped into the trap.
"What a brilliant stratagem of inviting the enemy into a trap."
The 9 Underworld Netherdragon’s expression turned icy as he could no longer restrain his question: “I am deeply curious—what is your true origin, that you command the allegiance of the 7 Realms Alliance?”
"The dead have no need to know so much."
Eldrin flicked his sleeve. Patriarch Cang was the first to stride forth and charge into the heavens, unleashing the 9 Tribulations Sword Formation of the Cangxu to annihilate the Primordial Void Dragon.
Hongzu, Luozu, the Primordial Mystic Maiden, and others likewise soared into the heavens, engaging in fierce combat against the 3 great sacred lands.
Yuanzu further activated the Primal Flame Formation, continuously incinerating the Supreme Elders of the 3 great factions.
This battle held no suspense whatsoever. As Seraphina Qu and the others struck again, it wasn't long before the supreme prodigies of the 3 great factions were utterly annihilated in a single confrontation.
"Ah, I cannot accept this!"
At death's door, the Netherworld Prince's face twisted in despair. He tore through the heavens astride the Nether Emperor's Sword, desperately charging toward Eldrin in a final, futile assault. Yet it was all in vain—like trying to reclaim fallen leaves, he could no longer reverse his doomed fate.
Eldrin seized the Nether Emperor's Sword single-handedly, disregarding its world-rending edge as he forcibly wrenched it away.
"The Boundless Ancient Sword is not meant to be wielded this way."
Eldrin spoke with an unnerving calm, his power firmly suppressing the Nether Emperor's Sword. He then channeled destructive energy into the blade, intent on cleaving the Nether Crown Prince in 2 on the spot.
Then, the overwhelming power of annihilation and the might of slaughter surged forth, completely obliterating Netherprince’s primordial spirit into nothingness.
Thus, the core combat strength of the 3 dominant forces was utterly annihilated in a single battle, with the majority of Half-Step Wuji experts perishing beneath the flame formation of the Primordial Fire Vein.
Eldrin withdrew his hand and turned his gaze toward the 4 Ancestors of Immortal Dao and the 3 Founders of Creation, giving a slight, tranquil nod.
The various Supreme Elders of the 7 Domains Alliance initially paid it no mind, yet in the very next instant, their expressions underwent a startling and drastic change.
Yet the 4 supreme progenitors of the immortal path—Cang, Hong, Luo, and Yuan—suddenly knelt before Eldrin, their voices choked with emotion as they spoke.
"Your unfilial disciple pays homage to his esteemed master!"
"This..."
In that instant, everyone present was stunned speechless. Even the 3 legendary immortals of the celestial path—Primordial Mystic Maiden and her peers—revealed expressions of profound shock.
Before they could regain their composure, Eldrin stood calmly in place, then swept his sleeve to help the 4 rise. "Rise," he said. "These years have not been easy for you."
"Disciple... disciple..."
Cang Zu and the others choked with emotion, and for a moment, they could hardly restrain themselves as tears began to fall.
This left everyone present utterly bewildered, for in their eyes, the 4 Ancestors of the Immortal Path had always been the backbone of the 7 Domains Alliance.
Even as Half-Step Infinity Realm experts, they had always perceived the 4 Founding Ancestors as solemn and unapproachable figures.
Yet now, all 4 of them were shedding tears, leaving everyone momentarily bewildered by this inexplicable sight.
Little did they know, the once-unknown master’s 7 disciples had all been raised by him since childhood—nurtured as though they were his own flesh and blood.
For a long time, the 7 great disciples of Nameless were all direct heirs of the Dominators—and the most elite among them at that.
Within the boundless chaos, there were truly no more than 10 supreme overlords.
Yet the once-unknown Dao Ancestor, whose cultivation ranked foremost among the 10 Great Sovereigns of Chaos and who wielded the Chaos Cauldron—a supreme treasure of primordial chaos—stood as the undisputed paramount power across the boundless void.
As direct disciples of the Nameless, they could rightfully claim to be inheritors of the primordial orthodox tradition of Chaos, with only 1 or 2 forces in existence that could rival their legacy.
Yet when the Nameless Dao Ancestor fell overnight, they became stray curs in the blink of an eye, barely clinging to survival until now only through the covert support of the guardians from the Path-Protection faction.
Seeing their revered master once more, how could they not be overcome with emotion?
"The esteemed mentor of the 4 Patriarchs of the Immortal Path, could it be..."
At the same time, many people snapped back to their senses, their faces instantly paling with terror.
Even Seraphina Qu and the others turned to look at Eldrin in astonishment, their expressions revealing a trace of awe.
"This is a long story..."
Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, realizing there was no need to conceal the truth any longer. He transmitted his voice to briefly recount their experiences.
At the same time, all the Supreme Elders present knelt in reverence. Even the 3 great supremes including the Primordial Mystic Maiden bowed deeply and declared, "We juniors pay our respects to the Nameless Dao Ancestor."
Arise.
Eldrin nodded slightly and helped everyone to their feet.
Seeing that Eldrin offered no explanation, they all revealed expressions of ecstatic delight.
It must be known that the Nameless Dao Ancestor was not only a supreme Chaos Lord, but also 1 who showed the utmost care for younger generations, and the leading figure of the Guardian Sect.
Now that it has fully awakened, does this not signify that the balance within the primordial chaos is about to shift?
And for those at the Half-Step Limitless realm, could they also grasp a sliver of opportunity to break through to the Sovereign stage?
At this thought, they exchanged glances, their eyes alight with joy.
Noticing the expressions of the crowd, Eldrin understood their thoughts and finally spoke, "My injuries have yet to heal, and I require vast resources to restore my cultivation base."
"This opening of the Primordial Chaos Realm is a crucial step for this venerable 1 to restore my cultivation."
"I require your assistance to lend me a hand. Do any of you have objections?"
Hearing this, the crowd fell into hesitation. 1 of the Half-Step Wuji experts couldn't resist speaking up: "The Primordial Purple Qi here... could we take it for ourselves?"
Eldrin understood their thoughts. For those at the half-step to Boundless Realm, the most crucial step was obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi to forge their foundation as a Supreme Ruler.
"Fortunately, the Primordial Purple Qi is of no use to Eldrin either," he spoke up. "You may claim the Primordial Purple Qi for yourselves. How much you ultimately obtain will depend on your own fortunes."
"Then we shall spare no effort in assisting the Dao Ancestor."
All the Quasi-Nirvana Realm experts present spoke up in unison, a trace of pleasant surprise coloring their expressions.
To this, Eldrin waved his hand dismissively, then motioned for the others to withdraw. He led the 4 Ancestors of Immortal Dao and the 3 Heroes of Path Creation into the depths of the Chaotic Fire Vein.
They hastily established a temporary training ground, and then Eldrin began taking stock of the spoils from this battle.
In this battle, their spoils were plentiful, but the most precious among them were 4 top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures.
These 4 treasures were the Nether Emperor's Sword, the Inferno Prison War Armor, and the Shadow Dragon's Thorn, along with numerous other precious Chaos Spirit Treasures—evidently all obtained from their exploration within the Primordial Realm.
Half-Step Infinity Realm could not even unleash the full power of a single top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure, let alone refine a second 1.
As a disciple of Nameless, the Fourth Ancestor of the Immortal Path certainly lacked no supreme-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures. Thus, Eldrin unveiled these 4 treasures before the trio: the Primordial Mystic Maiden, the Ancient Stele Elder, and the Jade Flute Dao Ancestor.
"Hand over the treasures within the Primordial Fire Vein to this venerable 1. As for these artifacts, each of you may claim 1. Any objections?"
The 3 exchanged glances, naturally having no objections. In the end, Elder Tianbei (Person Name) cupped his hands and said, "In that case, we graciously accept."
With those words, the 3 each claimed the 3 supreme-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures—the Nether Emperor's Sword (Magic Treasure), the Blazing Prison Battle Armor (Magic Treasure), and the Nether Dragon's Thorn (Magic Treasure)—before retreating to secluded cultivation to refine them.
Seeing this, Eldrin handed the remaining Taixu Ancient Sword to Jiang Huang. This patriarch cultivated the Taixu Sword Dao, which was remarkably compatible with the Taixu Ancient Sword.
The other treasures were temporarily stored away by Eldrin (Person Name), reserved for refining the Peerless Immortal Elixir.
After distributing the treasures, Eldrin finally turned his gaze to the 4 chief disciples and inquired, "How have you fared these past years?"
Master.
Cang's eyes reddened slightly as he began recounting the events of these years to Eldrin (Person Name).
In those years, when Nameless sought to impact the Mastery Realm, he sensed his breakthrough would not proceed smoothly, and thus dismissed all his disciples.
After the Nameless 1 fell, all of his disciples were hunted down. Of the 3,000 registered disciples, some perished while others fled, soon scattering into the chaos to lie low.
To prevent any potential moles, they rarely contacted 1 another.
Until later, when the Path-Blocking Sect’s methods grew increasingly ruthless, those at the Half-Step Wuji stage within the chaos had almost no chance of breaking through to the Dominator realm.
Countless Half-Step Boundless experts have fallen in their attempts to break through to the Dominator realm, making it increasingly unbearable for the Guardian Path faction's Dominators.
Thus, Cang and the others joined forces once more, reaching out to some of the former rulers who had been on good terms with Nameless. After securing their support, they established the 7 Domains Alliance.
From that day until now, the 7 Realms Alliance has drawn in countless powerful experts from the primordial chaos, all for a sliver of opportunity to break through to the Dominator realm.
After understanding the cause and effect, Eldrin sighed and said, "The karmic debts of the past shall be settled 1 by 1 in due time."
"By the way, where's Xiao Tian?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted slightly.
Cang Wei pondered briefly before letting out a sigh. "Our Third Junior Brother was captured by the Ancestor of 10 1000 Demons and imprisoned in the Abyss of Myriad Demons. It has already been 4 100 million kalpas since then."
Ancestor of 10 1000 Demons.
Upon hearing this, Eldrin's (Person Name) pupils involuntarily chilled with a faint glint of cold light.
The Ancestor of All Demons, also known as the Supreme Ruler of 10 1000 Demons, stood among the 10 paramount sovereigns born of primordial chaos. In terms of cultivation realm alone, he rivaled even the legendary Nameless 1 from ages past.
He created the script of demons and founded the demonic path, standing as 1 of the colossal pillars in the primordial chaos. Today, he is the leading figure among the neutral faction.
At this thought, Eldrin spoke: "When I, your master, once roamed the Chaos, the Ancestor of 10 1000 Demons was merely a rising talent, his cultivation barely having just stepped into the Dominator Realm."
Now, countless kalpas later, who would have thought he would become 1 of the foremost figures commanding reverence in this primordial chaos.
"However, this karmic debt shall be settled by This Seat in due time."
With these words, Eldrin withdrew his thoughts and rose, heading deeper into the Primordial Fire Vein.
As they ventured deeper into the fire vein, they unwittingly gathered a wealth of rare treasures.
It must be admitted that this Chaos Fire Vein truly held boundless opportunities. Heaven-defying celestial flames, nearly impossible to find in the outside world, and rare fire-attributed treasures, scarcely seen even across the primordial chaos, could be found here at almost every turn.
Eldrin (Person Name) had gathered quite a few, unwittingly arriving deep within the primordial fire vein, at the heart of a blazing immortal pool.
Primordial Flame Pool.
Gazing upon the Primordial Flame Pool before them, everyone present revealed expressions of astonishment.
Within the Primordial Flame Pool, there brewed the unparalleled Primordial Chaos Immortal Fire, a flame so potent it appeared almost liquid, possessing the divine might to smelt all of creation.
"This flame can be used to refine the Limitless Immortal Pill, though it requires a grand formation to assist in regulating the fire's power."
Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, his voice calm as he said.
Understanding his meaning, ‘Yuan’ (Person Name) at his side immediately bowed and said, "This disciple will later assist the Master in setting up the formation to refine the Limitless Immortal Elixir once more."
Eldrin gave a slight nod, then turned his gaze back to the Primordial Flame Pool. Within the Celestial Flame Pool, there were dozens of transcendent treasures.
Among the most precious items were a small crimson furnace, a top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure—the Primordial Fire Jade, and a massive fire-red egg covered in Dao patterns.
This egg was covered in phoenix patterns, yet not a trace of vitality remained.
The Heaven-Mandated Ruler born of the Primordial Flame Dao, yet fated to perish alongside the Primordial Sovereign.
Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, a faint trace of wistfulness coloring his expression.
As an existence rooted in the Half-Step Hongmeng Destiny, Nameless was the embodiment of the Chaos Dao, the 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor was born of the Primordial 5 Supremes, and the Primordial Sovereign manifested from the Primordial Dao.
Legend has it that the Primordial Dao could divide into the 5 Elements, thus giving birth to 5 Primordial Element Sovereigns of dominator-level existence. This was an unalterable decree of Chaos Fate.
Alas, even the Primordial Dao Ancestor had fallen, so this 5 Elements Sovereign naturally held not a trace of vitality.
The Primordial Flame Dominator before his eyes should have taken form in the shape of the Primordial Phoenix, yet it had long fallen and transformed into a lifeless fetus.
"Perhaps this is an opportunity for Li Huang."
Eldrin suddenly fell into a brief contemplation, then remarked pensively.
With Li Huang’s foundation, reaching the Dominator Realm was exceedingly difficult. Yet, if she cultivated within this Dominator’s body, absorbing the essence and heavenly mandate of the Flame Dominator, it might not be impossible for her to eventually set foot in the Dominator Realm.
At this thought, Eldrin carefully stored away the Phoenix Fire Egg before gathering all the other rare treasures.
Among these treasures, what Eldrin (Person Name) valued most was this Primordial Flame Jade—a truly extraordinary treasure for cultivating divine abilities, which could later be used to practice the Limitless Divine Art.
This fiery-red small furnace, named the Phoenix Fire Furnace (Magic Treasure), is also a top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure. It contains the primordial Dao of Flames, making it even more effective for pill refinement than the Qiankun Creation Cauldron (Magic Treasure).
Eldrin decided to fully refine the Fire Phoenix Furnace, then had the Abyss assist him in rearranging the Primordial Chaos Flame Formation.
2 formation masters at the Archon level personally arranged the formation. Moreover, Eldrin possessed the complete memories and insights of a top-tier Sovereign. Establishing the Chaos Grand Formation by harnessing the ley lines was as natural as water flowing downhill.
In the end, they used the Fire Phoenix Cauldron (Magic Treasure) as the core to set up an alchemy formation capable of seizing the creation of heaven and earth.
"This formation can boost pill refinement success by 30 percent, almost equivalent to having an Infinite Dominator channeling spiritual power to assist my alchemy."
"With the addition of the superior-grade Fire Phoenix Cauldron (Alchemy Tool) that excels in pill refinement, my success rate for crafting the Limitless Immortal Pill should be no less than 50 percent."
After setting up the formation, Eldrin murmured inwardly. Yet he did not immediately begin refining the Limitless Immortal Pill, choosing instead to warm up by first crafting 9 batches of the Minor Limitless Immortal Pill.
9 consecutive batches of the Limitless Immortal Pills were refined without the slightest mishap, each possessing a potency several degrees stronger than ordinary Minor Limitless Immortal Pills.
Without further delay, Eldrin decisively retrieved the Wuji Flower and various supplementary herbs, commencing the refinement of the 'Wuji Immortal Elixir'.
Chapter 1 The biting cold wind swept across the mountain peaks, howling like countless vengeful spirits. Lin Feng tightened his worn robe, his gaze fixed on the distant mountain gate. Today marked the final day of the Outer Sect disciple assessment—his last chance. "Lin Feng, Foundation Establishment Stage, third level. Failed to meet the standard," announced the deacon elder emotionlessly, his voice echoing across the square. A wave of mocking laughter erupted from the crowd. Lin Feng clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. "Trash like you should just crawl back to the mortal world," sneered a voice. It was Zhao Shan, the current top disciple of the Outer Sect, already at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Lin Feng remained silent, his eyes burning with defiance. He had been stuck at the third level of Foundation Establishment for 3 years while his peers had long surpassed him. That night, as moonlight streamed through the cracks of his dilapidated hut, Lin Feng took out a mysterious black jade pendant left by his parents. A drop of his blood accidentally fell onto it, and the pendant suddenly glowed with a strange light. Countless ancient characters swirled in the air before converging into a stream of light that shot between his eyebrows. A profound cultivation method appeared in his mind—the Heavenly Dao Scripture. "Those who cultivate the Heavenly Dao shall transcend the mundane and achieve immortality," an ancient voice resonated within his consciousness. At that moment, Lin Feng felt the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surge wildly into his body. The barriers that had confined him for years shattered like glass. Foundation Establishment fourth level! Foundation Establishment fifth level! Foundation Establishment sixth level! He broke through 3 levels in succession! The spiritual energy within his body became as turbulent as a roaring river. When he opened his eyes again, dawn was breaking. Lin Feng sensed the immense power coursing through his veins and couldn't help but let out a long roar. The sound echoed between the mountains, startling flocks of birds into flight. "Zhao Shan, just you wait," Lin Feng murmured, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "The competition tomorrow will be your nightmare." He took out the only Spirit Gathering Pill he possessed—a treasure he had saved for 3 years. Now, with the Heavenly Dao Scripture, its efficacy could be maximized. Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng began his second round of cultivation. Spiritual energy gathered around him, forming a faint, visible vortex.
