Chapter 2164 : Half Step into Wuji

This was not Eldrin's first time refining the Limitless Immortal Pill, yet his expression remained incomparably grave.

After all, it was the Nameless Dao Ancestor, not his true self, who had originally refined the Limitless Immortal Pill. Thus, he proceeded with utmost caution this time.

Time flew like an arrow, and before anyone realized it, several kalpas had passed. It wasn't until much later that Eldrin (Person Name) suddenly emerged amidst a thunderous explosion, letting out a breath as he brushed dust off his soot-streaked face.

"Failed."

Gazing at the charred remains of the Phoenix Flame Cauldron before him, a wry smile crept across Eldrin's face.

Since acquiring the Nameless 1's memories, his mastery over the 100 arts of cultivation had reached unimaginable heights. Yet this was the first time he had failed in pill refinement.

Fortunately, this alchemy failure gave Eldrin a deeper understanding of the Primordial Fire Vein, significantly increasing his confidence in succeeding during the next attempt.

"Just a little bit off. I need to better control the intensity of the flames."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then tidied the alchemical furnace and readjusted the Great Chaos Formation before commencing the refinement of the Wuji Immortal Pill once more.

Sure enough, this alchemy session proceeded in an orderly manner. Though there were several close calls that nearly ruined the batch, his exceptional pill-refining skills managed to salvage the situation each time.

Until this day, as the alchemy cauldron erupted with resplendent immortal radiance, a final dazzling Limitless Immortal Pill emerged within the primordial chaos.

"Success."

Gazing upon the Limitless Immortal Elixir before him, Eldrin felt a subtle sense of reassurance settle in his heart.

Beside them, Cang, Hong, and the others immediately turned to Eldrin (Person Name) with joyous surprise, congratulating him: "Congratulations, Master! With the successful refinement of the Limitless Immortal Elixir, there is hope for your cultivation base to be restored."

"Just a step ahead, nothing more."

Eldrin spoke unhurriedly, his voice flowing like a tranquil stream, before stating, "When this master recovers his cultivation, you may yet have a sliver of opportunity to tread the path of the Boundless."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, a faint smile gracing their lips.

They knew their master all too well—if given the chance, their mentor would undoubtedly guide them to step into the realm of Dominance.

Moreover, as the sole individual in the current chaos capable of refining the Limitless Immortal Pills.

If even their own master could not help them break through, then who else could possibly assist them in transcending to the Dominator realm?

"Very well. I shall now enter seclusion for cultivation. All of you shall stand guard outside and protect my meditation."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and immediately assumed solemn expressions as they began to guard Eldrin’s meditation.

Seeing this, Eldrin promptly replaced the formation's core, using the Qiankun Creation Cauldron as the stabilizer before readjusting the entire Chaos Flame Formation.

After completing all this, Eldrin stepped directly into the Qiankun Creation Cauldron and began his secluded cultivation to break through to the Half-Step Limitless Realm.

As a Dao Field of the Dominator level, the Chaos Flame Earth Veil possessed supreme profundity. Breaking through to the Half-Step Boundless Realm here could increase 1's chances of success by 30 percent.

Of course, this was all contingent on being able to withstand the searing burn of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Flame.

The Primordial Immortal Flame could incinerate all things. An ordinary top-tier Unity Supreme Being, if their physical body wasn't sufficiently robust, would likely be refined into scattered ashes on the spot.

Eldrin happened to possess an exceptionally powerful physical body, thus showing no fear toward the tempering of the Limitless Immortal Flame.

He continuously channeled the Qiankun Creation Cauldron, summoning boundless and infinite immortal flames to temper the Chaos Primordial Dao. Unbeknownst to him, Eldrin’s 5 Chaos Daos began to show faint signs of merging.

With unwavering resolve, he forged the third supreme Dao.

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then resolutely consumed the Limitless Immortal Pill and began merging the third supreme dao.

Breaking through to the Half-Step Wuji realm using the Limitless Immortal Pill was truly a grievous waste of celestial treasure. Had Eldrin not been incapable of cultivating a Supreme Primordial Spirit, he would never have been willing to squander such precious resources so recklessly.

Yet 1 had to admit, the Peerless Immortal Elixir truly possessed heaven-defying efficacy.

As Eldrin continued his refinement, the medicinal efficacy of the Limitless Immortal Pill gradually took effect, causing his 5 Chaos Daos to slowly converge into 1.

Time flowed ceaselessly onward until, at a certain moment, the third supreme Great Dao of ultimate power finally completed its formation in its entirety.

Boom—

With a deafening roar, Eldrin slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile immediately gracing his lips.

He simultaneously harnessed 3 supreme Daos, instantly sensing a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering power surge forth—far more than merely several times stronger than before his breakthrough.

"What formidable power."

Eldrin murmured softly. Having stepped into the half-step Boundless Realm of the Great Dao, he discovered his power had undergone a tremendous enhancement.

He had a feeling that with the power of the Great Dao alone, he had already transcended the Half-Step Limitless Realm, equivalent to a peerless sovereign who had forged the foundation of a Dominator.

"My strength will not stop here."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then began to merge with the Primordial Chaos Qi.

The Great Dao of Primordial Chaos had now reached a state where no further advancement was possible. Only by refining the Primordial Inception Qi could it achieve ultimate perfection.

Thus, Eldrin continuously refined the Primordial Inception Qi. After refining a total of 15 strands of Primordial Inception Qi, his Great Dao of Chaotic Infinity finally reached its limit.

And upon reaching this realm, Eldrin discovered that his power of the Great Dao had transcended all known limits, ascending to an unimaginable ultimate domain.

After establishing the Dominance Foundation, the power of the Great Dao—despite having reached a near-impenetrable bottleneck—had once again doubled in strength.

"Now, I have transcended even the realm of the Supreme Sovereigns."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, a faint trace of wistfulness coloring his expression.

The reason for saying this is that his power had completely transcended the realm of the Paramount Sovereigns.

Even if 7 or 8 peerless supremes joined forces and brought superior-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures with them, they would stand no chance against him.

Even Eldrin felt as though his Great Dao of Primordial Chaos had surpassed a certain extreme, exerting an overwhelming suppression over ordinary Supreme Great Daos.

This power seemed to transcend all Daos, faintly carrying a trace of aura capable of suppressing the myriad Daos.

As the former Primordial Chaos Sovereign, Eldrin was all too familiar with this power.

To suppress all Daos with a single Dao—this is the most precise description of the Limitless Great Dao, an insurmountable chasm of absolute extremes.

The Great Dao of Limitlessness?

"No, it still seems far from complete, yet there is already a trace of the Boundless Phenomenon."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly before speaking with measured deliberation, "This realm would be more aptly termed as a Quasi-Infinite Domain, or perhaps a Quasi-Sovereign Realm."

As he spoke, Eldrin gained a clearer understanding of his own capabilities.

With his current strength, it was still impossible for him to confront the Wuji Dominus, but perhaps he could withstand a single strike from the Wuji Dominus without perishing.

This marked a monumental breakthrough, bringing Eldrin 1 step closer to the requirements for cultivating the Supreme Primordial Spirit.

Most crucially, refining a Chaos Supreme Treasure required cultivation at the Primordial Zenith level. With Eldrin now possessing a trace of the Primordial Zenith aura within his Great Dao of Chaos, he might barely qualify to attempt refining such a treasure.

Getting back to the story, Eldrin did not delay after completing his breakthrough in cultivation.

Emerging from his secluded cultivation, he summoned 9 individuals, including Seraphina Qu (Person Name).

After numerous fierce battles, the 9 individuals had seized vast cultivation resources. Now, they had each forged 9 Chaos Immortal Sanctums, standing not far from breaking through to the Half-Step Limitless realm.

At that moment, Eldrin saw the 9 individuals and spoke, "Your foundations have been sufficiently consolidated. This Chaos Fire Vein is a treasured cultivation ground—why not seize this opportunity to make your breakthrough?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the few lit up with smiles.

Chen Xianzhu gave a slight nod and said, "Our foundations have been sufficiently tempered. Now that we've obtained the Minor Wuji Elixir, it is time to break through our cultivation realms."

"I will stand guard for you."

Eldrin declared, then immediately directed the assembly to step into the Chaos Fire Vein 1 by 1, commencing their breakthrough toward the Half-Step Realm of Boundlessness.

Given the cultivation base and physical fortitude of the 9 individuals, they still found it somewhat difficult to endure the incineration of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Flame.

Fortunately, Eldrin could harness the power of the grand formation and the Qiankun Creation Cauldron to regulate the intensity of the Primal Chaos Immortal Flames, keeping it precisely within a controllable range.

Thus, this breakthrough ultimately passed without any true danger, and in the end, they both smoothly cultivated the third Supreme Immortal Treasure.

After cultivating the third Supreme Immortal Vault, the 9 individuals experienced another tremendous surge in power, each reaching the pinnacle of the Half-Step Limitless realm.

This was still because their Supreme Immortal Domain had not yet reached perfection. Once the Supreme Immortal Domain attained its consummate state, their overall combat prowess would experience a tremendous leap forward.

At that level, their individual combat prowess would likely be comparable to that of a Dominator's foundation.

Of course, the resources required to perfect the Supreme Immortal Realm were truly staggering. Even with the empowerment of 3 Supreme Immortal Treasures, achieving completion was far from an overnight endeavor.

Eldrin paid it no mind, directly bestowing upon each of them 9 strands of Primordial Genesis Qi before stating, "The Supreme Immortal Vault holds extraordinary potential, yet it cannot directly lead 1 to the realm of Dominator."

"You have built your foundation with the Primordial Inception Qi, forging the cornerstone of a Dominator. In the days to come, you may yet grasp a fleeting chance to ascend to Dominatorhood."

Hearing this, everyone began to grasp the path to supremacy through the Dao of Self-Offering.

With only the Supreme Immortal Vault and Supreme Immortal Domain, 1 could theoretically step into the Dominator Realm after breaking through to the Limitless Immortal Vault and Limitless Immortal Domain, though it would only grant entry into the initial stage of the Dominator Realm.

And if 1 cultivates both the Wuji Immortal Canon and the Wuji Immortal Domain, they shall be able to set foot in the realm of the supreme overlords.

At this thought, everyone retrieved their Primordial Chaos Primordial Qi and bowed in gratitude for his bestowal of the opportunity to attain dominion.

Eldrin waved his hand, signaling everyone to refine the Primordial Beginning Qi. Only after they had fully assimilated it did he unravel the formation to release them from seclusion.

After establishing their Ruler Foundation, the strength of the 9 individuals increased significantly once more, barely allowing them to set foot in the realm of the supreme and unparalleled.

This gave Eldrin (Person Name) renewed confidence for the upcoming journey to the Primordial Lands.

Yet he did not depart at once. Standing within the primordial expanse, he began to contemplate the path of cultivation that lay ahead.

After cultivating the third supreme Dao, his mastery of the Great Dao had already reached its limit. Even if he were to practice other supreme Daos, it would not bring any significant improvement.

To make another breakthrough in his strength, he would need to cultivate a third Supreme Divine Form.

Yet he had yet to even cultivate his ninth ultimate divine form—how could he possibly achieve the third supreme divine form?

"This is the dao field of the Primal Sovereign. Let this ninth ultimate divine form be rooted in the Primal Dao."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, gaining a flicker of insight regarding the selection of the ninth Great Dao Divine Form.

However, to cultivate the Primordial Dao, 1 required Primordial-attributed Chaos Spirit Treasures. Secondly, 1 needed to comprehend the Primordial Dao itself. Eldrin still had to seek out a Primordial Object to establish his Primordial Foundation.

If the opportunity permits, obtaining the Primordial Sovereign's legacy and acquiring the Chaos Bell as a blueprint would undoubtedly be the optimal choice.

Without wasting another moment, he promptly tidied up the Chaos Formation and set off toward the depths of the Primordial Lands.

Next, Eldrin led the group deeper into the primordial lands, where they discovered vast quantities of rare and peerless treasures, even obtaining numerous supplementary ingredients for the Limitless Immortal Pills.

Unfortunately, the primary ingredient, the Limitless Flower, was exceedingly rare and nearly impossible to find in this world. Eldrin (Person Name) himself had only 3 blossoms remaining in his possession and had yet to discover any new Limitless Flowers.

During their treasure hunt, they once again stumbled upon another Chaos Earth Vein. Unfortunately, most of the treasures within these earth veins had already been plundered, leaving only a scarce few precious artifacts behind.

"It seems the various dominant powers are not without their capable individuals."

Watching several Primordial Dao Sanctums being thoroughly plundered, Eldrin could not help but remark with deep emotion.

However, this was well within expectations. If he could have a treasure-hunting mouse to seek out treasures, it was hardly impossible for other dominant forces to possess something of the same caliber.

Under such circumstances, it seemed inevitable that the precious treasures within the secret realm would be completely plundered.

Thinking of this, Eldrin wasted no more time and immediately had the treasure-seeking rodent lead him toward the heart of the Primordial Lands.

This time, traveling at full speed, the group soon arrived at the heart of the Primordial Lands.

"Is this the core of the Primordial Land?"

Eldrin (Person Name) looked up and saw, at the very heart of the vast primordial land, a magnificent ancient divine mountain standing tall between heaven and earth.

The mountain range stretched into an endless expanse, emanating a supreme and oppressive aura that suffocated all living beings at its foot. It was as if a peerless sovereign sat in meditation upon the summit.

"It is the Primordial Divine Mountain."

Gazing upon the majestic mountain range before him, Eldrin spoke slowly, his eyes inevitably reflecting profound solemnity.

The others also looked up, their expressions instantly turning grave.

The Primal Divine Mountain was the very cradle where the Primal Overlord gestated—a supreme Chaos Dao Field of unparalleled rarity since time immemorial. Had the Primal Overlord not perished during gestation, this place would undoubtedly stand as 1 of the mightiest holy lands in the Chaos realm today.

The fall of the Primal Sovereign also left behind the legacy of opportunities within the Primal Divine Mountain. Its depths may be filled with countless rare fortunes, perhaps even the key to breaking through to the Chaos Sovereign realm.

This time, most of the Half-Step Wuji experts who came to the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm were likely drawn by the opportunities within the Primordial Divine Mountain.

However, seizing the opportunity to become the Supreme Ruler was no easy task.

Eldrin scanned his surroundings and realized that numerous powerful figures had already gathered outside the vast expanse of the Primordial Divine Mountain.

Among them, there were over 2 100 experts at the Half-Step Wuji realm alone. These powerful figures were all Half-Step Wuji Ancestors from various major factions, and they could largely be divided into 3 major factions.

These 3 factions were the Pathguard Sect, the Pathobstruct Sect, and a coalition of neutral factions with the conservative wing of the Pathobstruct Sect.

Among them, the Pathguard Sect was formed by an alliance of over 80 Half-Step Infinite Realm experts and 7 major factions including the 9 Revolutions Ancestral Court and the Spirit Venerate Holy Land.

This lineage boasted 13 peerless supremes, with the Cosmic Supreme of Huang and the Sacred Land of the Spirit Sovereign leading their ranks.

The Cosmic Supremacy was a being who had attained the Dao through the Chaos Spiritual Root known as the 'World Ancient Tree.' His power ranked tenth on the Peerless Supremacy List, placing him just below the Primordial Ancestor. His strength could truly be described as unfathomable.

The Path-Blocking Faction numbered only 50-some members, yet none should underestimate these 50 individuals. Most were direct descendants or subordinate forces of the Destruction Overlord and the World-Annihilating Overlord—each 1 a fanatical entity akin to madmen.

这五十余人实力大多踏足了顶尖无极领域，主宰层次的绝世至尊也有十二人，整体实力比起护道派都是不遑多让。

Among the Path-Blocking Faction, Annihilator and the True Monarch of Ruin stood supreme.

The 2 ranked first and second respectively on the Peerless Supreme Leaderboard, their strength on par with the Emperor's, even slightly surpassing him by half a measure.

The Neutral Faction and the Path-Blocking Conservatives also possessed formidable strength, with the number of Half-Step Wuji experts across these 2 branches exceeding 1 100.

Among them, the neutral faction boasted over 40 Half-Step Infinity experts, led primarily by the Celestial Roc Sovereign and the Kunyu Sovereign under the command of the Ancestor of 10 1000 Demons, alongside the Myriad Crows Sovereign serving under the Ancient Crow Emperor.

Although these 3 had not made it into the top 10, their strength was not far from those who had, making them the cream of the crop among the peerless supreme beings.

Of course, the neutral faction possessed more than just these experts. However, most of the Chaos Sovereigns among them preferred seclusion, with many unwilling to involve themselves in worldly affairs. Thus, they refrained from intervening in this opportunity.

However, among the Path-Blocking Sect, the conservatives had dispatched quite a few Half-Step Wuji experts—over 60 of them, to be precise.

Among them, the 'Weeping Blood Demon Venerate' under the command of the Chaos Devil Ancestor stood as the foremost. This lineage comprised multiple dominant sacred lands, boasting as many as 10 peerless Venerates.

If Eldrin hadn't single-handedly annihilated the 3 great sacred lands including Minghuangzi and slain 4 peerless supremes in that battle, this faction's power would have been even more terrifying.

Beyond these major powers, the loose cultivators under Eldrin and the 7 Realms Alliance could also be considered a distinct faction of their own.

However, most rogue cultivators were solitary and lacked support, fighting alone. Without a powerful backer, the majority dared not venture into the Primordial Lands.

Even if they had entered the Primordial Realm, most chose to lurk in the shadows, waiting to play the oriole stalking the cicada. Thus, the number of visible participants was significantly fewer.

If not for the lineage of Eldrin, the 7 Domains Alliance alone would be like a single log trying to prop up a crumbling roof against these formidable powers.

"You're quite prompt."

As Eldrin was lost in thought, a voice echoed from the distant void.

Eldrin (Person Name) looked up and saw that the speaker was none other than the Tear-Blood Demon Venerable.

The Weeping Blood Demon Lord cast his gaze towards Patriarch Cang and the others, a cold smirk playing on his lips as he remarked, "So the 7 Domains Alliance has arrived as well. But why have you brought along so many unfamiliar faces?"

"Is this your trump card? Yet with merely this level of power, you still cannot stand against us."

Cang Zu let out a cold sneer and spoke calmly, "There's no need for Your Excellency, the Demon Venerable, to trouble yourself."

"Bloodweep Demon Venerable, is this the legion under the command of the Primordial Demon Ancestor?"

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but murmur inwardly, a trace of cold detachment rising within him.

The Chaos Demon Ancestor, also known as the Primordial Progenitor of Demons, pioneered the demonic path of cultivation. His power had ascended to the pinnacle realm of the Infinite Sovereign, establishing him as 1 of the most formidable Chaos Sovereigns within the primordial chaos.

If there was anyone in the entire chaos who posed the greatest threat to the nameless 1 of old, it was this Ancestor of 10 1000 Demons.

Chapter 1 The biting northern wind swept across the mountain peaks, carrying with it flurries of snow that danced in the air. Lin Xuan stood at the edge of the cliff, his white robes fluttering violently in the gale. His gaze was fixed upon the distant horizon, where the last rays of the setting sun were being devoured by the encroaching darkness. "1 100 years," he murmured, his voice barely a whisper yet carrying the weight of a millennium. "1 100 years, and I remain trapped at the ninth level of Qi Refinement." His fingers tightened around the jade slip in his hand—the Cloud-Severing Sword Art he had risked his life to obtain from the Ancient Ruins of the Fallen Star. Countless disciples of the Azure Mist Sect had coveted this very technique, yet none had succeeded in deciphering its mysteries. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his spiritual sea. The demonic mark on his left arm began to glow with an eerie crimson light, pulsating like a living heart. It had been 3 years since the incident at the Blood Demon Abyss, yet the curse showed no signs of weakening. "Brother Lin!" A clear voice called out from behind. Yun Mengxi approached, her steps light as falling petals. In her hands, she carried a jade box exuding a faint spiritual energy. "I've brought you the 9 Revolutions Soul-Cleansing Pill. It should help suppress the demonic energy within you." Lin Xuan accepted the box with both hands. "Thank you, Junior Sister Yun. This pill must have cost you at least 50,000 spirit stones." Yun Mengxi shook her head, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "What are a few spirit stones between fellow disciples? The sect competition is in 7 days. With your current condition..." Before she could finish her sentence, a sharp whistle cut through the air. A fiery red sword light descended from the sky, landing heavily before them. The figure standing atop the sword radiated an overwhelming aura. "Eldrin!" Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed. The newcomer sneered, his gaze sweeping over Lin Xuan with undisguised contempt. "Still stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refinement? What a waste of the sect's resources. That Cloud-Severing Sword Art would be better off in my hands." Yun Mengxi immediately stepped forward. "Senior Brother Eldrin, please mind your words!" "Words?" Eldrin laughed coldly. "The weak don't deserve to possess such treasures. Hand over the sword art, and I might consider letting you participate in the sect competition with some dignity." Lin Xuan's expression remained calm. He slowly raised his right hand, spiritual energy beginning to swirl around his fingertips. "If you want it, come and take it." Eldrin's face darkened. The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss in his hand burst into flames. "You seek death!" Just as the confrontation was about to escalate, a deafening roar echoed from the distant sky. The clouds parted to reveal a massive flying shuttle approaching at incredible speed. Emblazoned on its side was the emblem of the Azure Mist Sect—3 swirling clouds. "All disciples, return to the main hall immediately!" A powerful voice resonated through the mountains, carrying an authority that brooked no disobedience. "The Secret Realm of the Fallen Moon has opened!" Lin Xuan and Eldrin exchanged a glance, the tension between them momentarily forgotten. The Secret Realm of the Fallen Moon—a place where countless cultivators had found their destiny, and where even more had met their end. A faint smile touched Lin Xuan's lips. Perhaps this was the opportunity he had been waiting for.
