Chapter 2167 : Perfect Body, Annihilating Enemies with a Flick

It also possesses remarkable compatibility. Using this as a foundation to merge various forms of primordial chaos would significantly increase the success rate.

Even when cultivating the Formless Divine Form, having the Primordial Divine Form as a foundation for harmonization could increase the chance of success by 30 percent.

"The 9 Ultimate Divine Forms have finally been completely mastered."

Eldrin murmured softly under his breath, eventually retrieving that peerless Profound Fruit once more.

Breaking through to the Half-Step Realm of Infinity with the Primordial Chaos Fruit was truly an extravagant waste of such a priceless treasure. Yet at this moment, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest.

After all, when he had previously cultivated the second Supreme Divine Form, hadn't he also used the Wuji Mystic Fruit?

Merge—

But then Eldrin, with all his might, urged the myriad divine forms, slowly merging the Chaos Great Cauldron, the Primordial Ancient Bell, and the Cosmic Dial into 1.

Originally, the Primal Heaven Dial was the most difficult ultimate divine form to integrate. Fortunately, after Eldrin refined the Immaculate Blossom, the foundations of his being had imperceptibly aligned to a far greater degree.

At this moment, with the Primordial Divine Form serving as the foundation for integration, the difficulty of the fusion process immediately decreased by more than 1 level.

As the Limitless Mystic Fruit was consumed, the 3 foundational pillars continuously merged into 1, ultimately transforming into a supreme and peerless divine form—the Chaos Primordial Cosmic Cauldron.

Gazing at the primordial cauldron before him, a faint smile surfaced on Eldrin's face.

This supreme divine form simultaneously embodied the profundity of 3 great chaotic divine forms, while amplifying their power approximately threefold.

Not only that, the immense enhancement brought by his breakthrough allowed Eldrin's physical cultivation to completely transcend its limits, reaching a realm beyond ordinary comprehension.

"With my current physical strength alone, I should be able to rival a supreme sovereign."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, yet even such a monumental advancement still failed to satisfy him.

He continued to refine Primordial Chaos Qi to fortify his foundation. After expending 9 strands of Primordial Chaos Qi in succession, his entire foundation finally underwent a complete transformation, evolving into a Dominator’s Foundation.

Eldrin rose to his feet and channeled energy through his supreme physical form, discovering that his bodily strength had undergone yet another monumental transformation.

In terms of offensive power alone, he might still fall short of the Quasi-Sovereign realm by half a step, yet his defensive capabilities, vitality, and speed had already fully ascended into the Quasi-Sovereign domain.

Having cultivated the same 9 ultimate divine forms, Eldrin's physical combat prowess surpassed the Emperor's by more than just severalfold.

The reason for this was not only that Eldrin's 9 supreme divine forms had grown more powerful, but crucially, through refining the Fruit of Life, the Fruit of 5 Elements, 2 pieces of Infinite Immortal Iron, and other peerless treasures, he had shattered the inherent limits of the supreme divine forms.

It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin's 3 supreme divine forms were able to transcend the ultimate divine forms, possessing a wisp of the boundless divine form's essence.

"Now, with the dual foundations of my physical body and the Great Dao both reaching the Sovereign realm, the power I've consolidated is beyond compare to what it once was."

"This power might have barely grazed the edges of the Infinite Realm, though it still falls short of a true Infinite Sovereign."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then retrieved the Chaos Heavenly Halberd. His gaze swept over the companions beside him as he declared, "Everyone, the time has come for us to clear the battlefield."

With those words, Eldrin rose directly and strolled toward the Primordial Immortal Pond.

Meanwhile, the Primordial Immortal Pond was still engulfed in a climactic battle. The 3 trials of the Chaos Bell proved extraordinarily arduous.

在场一百余位盖世天骄，其中如今普通半步无极大多被淘汰了，就连顶尖半步无极都所剩无几，只剩数十位绝世至尊称雄。

Among the gathered heroes, the most formidable were figures such as Huang, the Annihilator of Heirs, and the Tear-Soaked Devil Venerable. Yet even they were not without rivals.

For this Primordial Chaos Secret Realm held no small opportunity, as several Half-Step Infinite cultivators had gathered sufficient Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi here, forging their Ruler Foundations to step into the realm of peerless supremes.

Some experts who had not been particularly outstanding in the past now erupted with astonishing brilliance, among whom were those capable of directly confronting the 3 supreme powerhouses.

Of course, it was also possible that they usually concealed their true abilities deeply, never revealing their genuine methods.

Now came the trial of combat, where they must determine the strongest among them—the 1 worthy to face the final test of the Chaos Bell.

"This is rather troublesome."

Seeing that neither could gain the upper hand, Destruction Child finally lost his patience. He turned to Tearblood Demon Lord and declared, "As fellow followers of the Path of Hindrance, our struggle is meaningless."

"Now that the Crown Prince of the Netherworld and his followers have fallen, and the True Monarch of Annihilation has perished by unknown hands, continuing our struggle would only allow the Guardian Faction to reap the benefits."

Upon hearing this, the Weeping Blood Demon Lord felt rather tempted.

After all, the Obstructive Path faction had split into 2 opposing camps and suffered significant losses in strength. The neutral faction had sent too few supreme overlords this time, and neither side alone could withstand the pressure of confronting the Guardian Path faction.

Under such circumstances, joining forces to eliminate the champions of the Guardian Faction in advance is indeed the optimal choice.

But the Tear-Stained Devil Sovereign did not immediately agree. Instead, he turned to Huang and the others, saying, "Brother Huang, if you relinquish the Chaos Bell, we can join forces with you to deal with these madmen of the radical faction."

"You should understand that the Chaos Bell falling into the hands of us conservatives is far better than it ending up with these radicals."

"Hah—"

The Emperor gave a cold laugh and spoke calmly, "Hand over this treasure to us, and it may yet shelter your path to enlightenment."

Tear-Blood Demon Lord's pupils turned frosty as he immediately declared, "It seems you are unwilling to cooperate."

As the words fell, the Weeping Blood Demon Venerable and Mie Shi Zi (Person Name) joined forces, instantly launching an assault toward the Guardian Faction.

In an instant, the 2 major factions within the Path-Obstructing Coalition joined forces, and even the neutral faction subtly contemplated expelling the Path-Protecting Coalition—the most powerful force among them.

A 3-on-1 siege erupted in an instant.

Though the Guardian Sect was immensely powerful, they were ultimately struggling to hold their ground against the siege of countless heroes.

From the very start of the great war, their top-tier Half-Step Eldrin cultivators began falling 1 after another. Even their supreme Venerables sustained severe injuries in succession, appearing as though they would inevitably collapse sooner or later.

Just as the guardians of the Dao were beginning to despair, dozens of powerful figures surged forth from the Primordial Purple Mist at their rear.

The 7 Domains Alliance, along with 9 supreme powerhouses including Seraphina Qu (Person Name), launched a surprise attack on the rear flank of Mie Shi Zi (Person Name) and his allies. In an instant, 2 of the supreme powerhouses were utterly obliterated, their forms exploding into nothingness.

"A bunch of rogue cultivators, how dare you!"

Witnessing the loose cultivators from the 7 Domains Alliance and other factions dare to attack, the Tear-Blood Demon Lord instantly revealed a look of thunderous fury.

In an instant, over a dozen supreme masters soared into the sky, launching a sweeping assault toward the crowd. Leading them was none other than the Purgatory Supreme.

The mighty peerless supreme being lunged forward, unleashing an invincible aura from the very start. He erupted with a transcendent strike nearly rivaling the top 10 on the Supreme Leaderboard, yet what awaited him was the Chaos Heavenly Halberd.

"Pfft—"

A Chaos Heaven Halberd tore through the sky, brazenly thrusting straight toward the chest of the Purgatory Supreme.

In that instant, the Infernal Sovereign channeled all his power into the Infernal Blade to block the strike. Yet, in the blink of an eye, his weapon was sent flying, and his physical body instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

In but a single clash, this formidable expert ranked among the top 20 on the Supreme Venerable List was shockingly obliterated in the Void Heavens.

"Bzzz—"

At the same time, a snow-robed figure could be seen strolling into view.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he walked forth serenely, treading upon the void. Behind him, boundless light of primordial chaos shone through, while his immense shadow veiled the entire earth. An intangible sense of oppression settled over the hearts of all present.

"It's him."

Weeping Blood Demonic Sovereign was utterly incredulous, a trace of incomprehensible disbelief flashing across his expression.

With a single move, he vanquished a supreme sovereign—a feat nearly impossible to achieve. Even Mie Shi, ranked first on the Sovereign Ranking, could not accomplish this, falling far short of such power.

Since time immemorial, only 1 kind of person has ever achieved this.

That was the Primordial Chaos Sovereign. Only a true Chaos Sovereign could suppress and slay a peerless supreme being with a single move, leaving them no chance to even retaliate.

"Impossible! It's fake, all of it is fake!"

"Beneath the Sovereigns, I reign supreme. How could there exist 1 mightier than I?"

The Annihilation Child let out a world-shaking roar, suddenly maneuvering the Annihilation Heavenly Blade to slash across the sky.

Facing such a world-shattering strike, Eldrin remained utterly unperturbed. With a casual lift of his hand, he caught the supreme divine weapon of slaughter between 2 fingers.

"Ah—"

The Annihilation Heir roared with madness. The Heaven-Sundering Annihilation Blade erupted with world-ending radiance that sought to eradicate all existence, desperate to cleave Eldrin (Person Name) into oblivion. Yet, it still could not harm even a single hair on his head.

Eldrin stood calmly against the heavens, 1 hand resting behind his back. Between his fingers, he firmly clamped the Annihilation Heavenly Blade, forcing the divine weapon—once brimming with boundless world-ending power—to wail and fade into feebleness.

"If your father were the 1 to wield it, I might have to tread carefully."

"Yet you are still far too weak. You cannot even unleash 30 percent of this divine weapon's power, yet you dare raise your blade against me?"

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, his voice ultimately icy as he declared, "You shall also receive a blade from this sovereign."

As the words fell, Eldrin flicked his finger, sending the World-Ender Heavenly Blade flying from the Annihilator's grasp. In 1 fluid motion, he seized the weapon and swung it forth.

In an instant, boundless world-ending power surged across the firmament, striking directly toward the Annihilator.

Clang—

Facing such a strike, Mie Shi Zi froze in place, utterly terrified.

It was not that he did not wish to evade, but the power of this blade shook the ages, transcending all laws of the heavens, carrying an indomitable aura of the primordial chaos.

The Path of Limitless, suppressing all paths with 1, reigning supreme over the myriad ways of the cosmos.

"Primordial Chaos power... you are..."

At the final moment, the Annihilation Child desperately let out a desperate wail, only to find that no sound could escape his lips—not even the slightest movement was possible.

With a strike of power that annihilated all existence, Mie Shi, ranked first on the Peerless Supreme Leaderboard, was utterly vanquished by the edge of the Primordial Immortal Pond—without even a shred of resistance.

"Go. Now."

At this moment, all the supreme masters present snapped back to reality.

The Tear-Blooded Demon Venerable, the Heaven Roc Supreme, the Kun Universe Supreme, and other peerless Supremes instantly shot into the air, immediately fleeing madly into the distance as if possessed.

Alas, before the power of Wuji, it was ultimately futile to reverse the heavens' decree.

Eldrin brandished the Cataclysmic Celestial Blade, unleashing its full tenfold power through boundless means. Countless blades of apocalyptic destruction surged through the cosmos, instantly annihilating dozens of peerless supremes.

In the end, only a handful of top-tier Supreme Elders, along with those peerless experts who had wisely retreated upon sensing the impending danger, managed to escape.

"Beneath the Inviolable Zenith, all are but ants!"

Witnessing all his foes bowing in submission, Eldrin could not help but let out a soft sigh.

It must be admitted that the Wuji Overlord truly possessed heaven-defying power. An insurmountable chasm lay between him and even a peerless supreme being—a distinction as vast as clouds and mud. To say all beneath the Wuji realm were mere ants would be no exaggeration.

He had now cultivated 2 great Quasi-Dominance foundations, his strength already surpassing that of a Quasi-Dominance cultivator. Yet, he had not truly stepped into the realm of the Limitless.

Yet even so, the gap between him and a supreme sovereign was as vast as the distance between clouds and mud. Even if countless supreme sovereigns stood against him, they would possess not the slightest power to resist.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He turned to look at the crowd, only to see the heroes of the Guardian Faction all wearing expressions of utter disbelief, every 1 of them gazing at him with incredulous wonder.

As his gaze swept over them, the peerless supremes of the Guardian Faction prostrated themselves in unison, speaking with utmost reverence: "We pay homage to our senior, and congratulate you on attaining the realm of Dominance."

Arise.

Eldrin shook his head without offering any explanation, calmly sweeping his sleeve to lift the crowd to their feet.

Seeing the fear in everyone’s hearts, Eldrin turned his gaze to Huang and declared, “Your master was both my mentor and my friend—thus, you are, in a way, half a disciple of mine.”

"Do not worry, I will not make things difficult for you."

Huang Yi was momentarily stunned, then suddenly exclaimed with elated surprise, "Could it be that you are the..."

"Hmm."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, then rose to his feet and gazed upon the Chaos Bell. "You are masterless now," he declared. "Henceforth, would you be willing to follow me?"

"So it is the Dao Ancestor of Immortals in person. My apologies for the lack of respect."

The Chaos Bell hovered briefly in the air before transforming into a miniature bell of profound yellow, descending gently into Eldrin's palm.

Eldrin stowed away the Chaos Bell and, with a flick of his sleeve, drew numerous rare treasures from the Primordial Immortal Pond. He casually bestowed them upon the Paragon of the Guardian Faction—1 portion for each.

"Many thanks for the reward, Dao Ancestor."

All the prodigies present hurriedly expressed their gratitude, their faces lighting up with joy. Given Eldrin's current level of power, he could easily claim all the treasures within the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm for himself.

Under such circumstances, being granted a share of these treasures could already be considered a worthwhile journey for them.

Eldrin accepted their gratitude with serene composure, his voice calm as he declared, "This Primordial Realm shall serve as my sanctum. Once you have claimed your treasures, depart at once."

"We understand."

Everyone nodded and immediately cupped their hands in salute before departing 1 after another.

In response, Eldrin communicated with the Chaos Bell, expelling everyone except those from the 7 Realms Alliance, then concealed the Primordial Secret Realm once more within the chaos.

After completing all this, Eldrin gathered all the treasures seized from the others.

After a thorough inventory, Eldrin discovered they had slain 30-6 supreme venerables in this battle and seized 20-7 supreme-grade chaos spirit treasures.

In addition, there were 7 stalks of Wuji Immortal Elixir (Celestial Herb), 13 portions of premium Chaos Spirit Treasures (Heavenly Material), and various other premium Chaos Marvels (Heavenly Material) numbering in the hundreds.

"The gains from this battle are truly substantial."

After taking stock of the treasures, Eldrin bestowed some of the rare curios upon the members of the 7 Realms Alliance, though he retained the greater portion for himself.

He then dismissed the crowd to pursue secluded cultivation, before arriving at the edge of the Primordial Immortal Pond with 13 close confidants including Seraphina Qu (Person Name).

At this moment, the Primordial Immortal Pond was brimming with numerous peerless treasures, among which were quite a few of the most precious top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures.

Among them were 3 Limitless Flowers, 2 Limitless Mystic Fruits, and some immortal herbs required for the cultivation of the Limitless Sovereign.

Moreover, the pool of Primordial Immortal Liquid within this immortal pond was an unparalleled treasure for cultivation.

The so-called Primordial Immortal Elixir was fundamentally woven from the Wuji Immortal Elixir and the Primordial Dao, further coalesced from the essential origin left behind by the fallen Primordial Sovereign.

This primordial immortal liquid was a substance of utmost purity from heaven and earth, likely an unparalleled treasure for cultivation even to a Wuji Overlord.

"With these Primordial Immortal Liquids, both my Great Dao and physical cultivation can advance directly to the consummate perfection."

A faint smile tugged at Eldrin's lips as the thought whispered through his mind.

He cast his gaze toward Seraphina Qu and the others before speaking, "You may enter the Primal Immortal Pond for secluded cultivation. Remember to refine your Supreme Immortal Domain to perfection at the earliest opportunity."

"Understood."

Everyone nodded and stepped into the Primordial Immortal Pond with joyous anticipation.

This Primordial Immortal Pond was supreme cultivation resources for them, so naturally they had no reason to refuse.

As the others departed, Eldrin retrieved the Chaos Bell and spoke, "Fellow Daoist, would you assist me in refining this artifact?"

"By all means." The Bell of Chaos spoke, then said with a sigh, "I have waited through countless kalpas beyond reckoning, and have finally awaited your arrival."

"Wait for me through hundreds of millions of kalpas?"

A flicker of confusion surfaced in Eldrin's (Person Name) eyes.

The Chaos Bell nodded slightly before speaking, "When the Primordial Ruler fell, he glimpsed a fragment beyond the River of Time and learned that an indescribable existence in the future would require my assistance."

"The moment I saw you sweeping through the champions, I knew you were the 1 spoken of by my master."

Eldrin nodded slightly and spoke, "Should I ever set foot in that realm, I will naturally aid in your master's revival."

The Chaos Bell remained silent, devoting all its power to assist Eldrin in mastering his own essence.

With Eldrin's current level of magical power, refining the Chaos Bell was actually somewhat challenging. Fortunately, with the assistance of the Chaos Bell itself, the process proceeded as smoothly as water flowing downhill.

After an unknowable span of time had passed, Eldrin finally achieved preliminary refinement of the Chaos Bell, enabling him to unleash a fraction of its power.

After refining the Chaos Bell, he wasted no time and immediately entered the Primordial Immortal Pond, beginning to refine the Primordial Immortal Liquid to mend his own foundation.

"He has awakened."

Just as Eldrin was in secluded cultivation, an icy voice echoed from within the chaotic desolate sea.

The thoughts of a group of Chaos Overlords intertwined, each revealing expressions of extreme apprehension and solemnity.

Yet there were those who showed no fear, sneering coldly as they spoke: "So what if He returns? Our current strength is already beyond compare to what it once was."

"Even if he were to regain his full cultivation, we would not fear him in the slightest."

The other Chaos Rulers also nodded slightly, a glimmer of comprehension dawning in their eyes.

In the ancient days, the reason why the Nameless Dao Ancestor was revered as the foremost among the Chaos Overlords was not merely due to his mastery over the Chaos Prime Treasure—the Cauldron of Primordial Chaos—but also because he was the very first supreme Chaos Overlord to emerge from the primordial chaos.

However, the current Way-Blocking Sect was no longer what it used to be in terms of strength.

In theory, within a single Chaos Epoch, a maximum of 3,000 Chaos Overlords may emerge, and as many as 9 'Pseudo' Half-Step Hongmeng realm powerers could be born.

Yet their Path-Blocking Faction persistently obstructed the Dao, leaving fewer than 1 100 individuals who had attained mastery within the primordial chaos.

Chapter 1 The biting mountain wind whipped across the cliffside, carrying with it the scent of pine and damp earth. Lin Chen gritted his teeth, his knuckles white as he gripped the rough stone ledge. Below him, a sea of clouds churned, obscuring the treacherous depths of the ravine. He had been climbing for what felt like an eternity, his body pushed to its absolute limit. "Just a little further," he whispered to himself, the words snatched away by the gale. "The legacy of the Fallen Star Sage must be within reach." His robes, once fine but now tattered and stained with dirt and sweat, flapped wildly around his frame. He was a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator, barely having condensed his spiritual sea. This trial by ascent was meant for those far stronger, but desperation was a powerful motivator. His clan's fate, the scorn in his cousin's eyes, the whispered insults of "waste"—all of it fueled his stubborn ascent. Finally, his numb fingers found purchase on a flat, smooth surface. With a final, grunting heave, he pulled himself over the edge and collapsed onto a small, hidden platform. He lay there for a long moment, chest heaving, his entire body screaming in protest. The spiritual energy within his dantian was nearly depleted, a faint, flickering ember. Pushing himself up onto his elbows, he surveyed the platform. It was unnaturally smooth, as if carved by a giant's hand, and led to the mouth of a cave shrouded in a faint, shimmering mist. An ancient, powerful aura emanated from within, making the very air hum. "This is it," Lin Chen breathed, a spark of hope igniting in his weary heart. He staggered to his feet and ventured inside. The cave was vast and surprisingly luminous. Soft light emanated from glowing moss clinging to the walls. In the center of the main chamber sat a skeletal figure in the lotus position, clad in robes that had somehow withstood the ravages of time. A simple spatial ring adorned 1 bony finger. With a reverent bow, Lin Chen approached. As his fingers brushed the ring, a surge of spiritual energy coursed through him, warm and invigorating. A jade slip materialized in his hand. He pressed it to his forehead, and a flood of information entered his mind. It was the cultivation manual, the "Fallen Star Codex." His eyes widened as he comprehended its profound mysteries. But more than that, his spiritual sense probed the spatial ring itself. His breath hitched. Inside was a fortune beyond his wildest dreams. Neatly stacked piles of spirit stones glittered—32,000 of them, a king's ransom for a lowly disciple like him. Dozens of jade vials contained pills radiating potent energy; he recognized some as Foundation Establishment Pills, priceless treasures that could guarantee a breakthrough. There were also several magical artifacts, their auras sharp and dormant, including a sleek black flying sword and a set of shimmering defensive talismans. But 1 item drew his attention above all others. It was a small, unassuming bronze mirror, its surface clouded and etched with strange, spiraling patterns. It felt... ancient. Incomplete. As his consciousness touched it, a strange resonance echoed deep within his soul, a faint, almost imperceptible pull. He had no way of knowing that this mirror, the "Heavenly Dao Mirror (Magic Treasure)," was far more than it appeared. It was a fragment, 1 of 9 scattered across the myriad realms since time immemorial. Legends whispered that should the 9 ever be reunited, they would form a key—a key capable of challenging the very fabric of the Heavenly Dao itself. For now, it was merely a curious artifact accompanying a vast inheritance. Tucking the mirror away with the rest of the treasures, Lin Chen's expression hardened, his previous despair replaced by a steely resolve. Clutching a mid-grade spirit stone in his palm, he began to absorb its pure energy, following the esoteric pathways described in the Fallen Star Codex. The energy swirled within him, faster and more violently than ever before. The air in the cave grew thick, and outside, the wind howled with renewed fury. Dark clouds began to gather above the mountain peak, swirling into a vortex. Crackling arcs of lightning danced within them. Lin Chen looked up, sensing the terrifying pressure building. A bitter, determined smile touched his lips. "A Tribulation? So soon? Very well. Come then!" He rose to his feet, the newly acquired flying sword materializing in his hand. His eyes, once filled with defeat, now shone with a fierce, unyielding light. He would face this trial head-on. His new path began now.
