Chapter 2170 : Breaking Through the Chaos Lord

Vast and boundless, infinite and immense.

Even for the Arch-Emperor of Limitless, traversing the boundless chaos without prior preparation would prove exceedingly difficult in a short span of time.

Though Hong and Luo’s desperate sacrifice ended in their utter annihilation—body perished and cultivation eradicated—it ultimately bought Eldrin (Person Name) a considerable amount of time.

By the time the Lord of Destruction and his cohorts arrived at the edge of the Primordial Chaos Realm, Eldrin had already reached the most critical juncture of his breakthrough. Having accumulated sufficient power, he stood poised to ascend to the heavens in 1 decisive surge.

Slaughter them—

The moment he arrived at the Primordial Chaos Realm, the Lord of Destruction immediately launched a fierce assault against it, only to be firmly blocked by the Chaos Infinite Grand Formation.

Meanwhile, the obstructionist faction’s overlords, such as the 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor and the Chaos Spirit Venerable, had also arrived, intercepting numerous powerful experts from the opposing side.

As for the killings and conflicts in the outside world, Eldrin remained utterly unmoved.

Because of Eldrin(Person Name) and Luo(Person Name)'s intervention, his breakthrough had now reached its final stage. During this period, these people would find it nearly impossible to breach the Hongmeng Secret Realm(Mystical Realm).

"Hong, your master will not let your demise be in vain."

At this moment, Eldrin slowly opened his eyes. The Primordial Immortal Tower and his 9 divided souls completely merged with his original primordial spirit, ultimately transforming into an ethereal phantom clad in snow-white robes.

In an instant, Eldrin's primordial spirit soared into the sky. The primordial qi of the entire Primordial Chaos Realm, and even the boundless chaos beyond, was drawn into the primordial spirit like moths to a flame.

Boom—

Until the very moment when Eldrin’s primordial spirit underwent its ultimate transformation, evolving into the supreme Wuji Primordial Spirit.

Then, his primordial spirit slowly descended, merging completely with his true form and transforming into a peerlessly elegant white-robed banished immortal.

Then the white-robed banished immortal stepped forth, emerging from the Primordial Realm into the chaotic desolate sea.

"Limitless Primordial Spirit, Sovereign of the Soul Path."

The Primal Ancestor of 10 1000 Demons murmured slowly, a look of extreme apprehension crossing his face: "He succeeded!"

"Succeed or not, this Seat shall cut him down once more today!"

The Lord of Purgatory, however, snorted coldly and immediately steered the Purgatory Sword to slash forward.

The Overlord of Purgatory's strike, infused with the boundless power of the Great Dao of Purgatory, unleashed a divine might that shook the annals of history, seeking to utterly cleave Eldrin (Person Name) into oblivion within the primordial chaos.

Yet in the face of this strike, Eldrin’s expression remained as placid as still water.

With a sudden sweep of his sleeve, he channeled the epoch-shaking power of his primordial spirit, instantly piercing through the Chaos Dao Sea and awakening a supremely noble Great Dao.

This grand avenue was vast and boundless, like an incomparably noble Purple Gold True Dragon, yet also resembling a peerless immortal sword that had pierced through the annals of time, containing an unimaginable, ultimate power.

Yet it was bound by strands of the Limitless Dao, each 1 coiling around it like chains of iron, suppressing it so thoroughly that it could never awaken. This imprisonment had persisted through countless kalpas.

At that moment, as an overwhelming surge of primordial spirit energy—the most formidable force imaginable—swept through, it stirred this supreme Great Dao from its slumber. United as 1, they unleashed a transcendent power that would reverberate across countless millennia.

In an instant, the Violet-Gold True Dragon shattered the chains of the Great Dao, transforming into a peerless immortal sword that pierced through the boundless Sea of Dao and materialized in Eldrin’s (Person Name) hand.

"The True Form of the Great Dao, the Sword of Immortal Ascension!"

Witnessing the oncoming force, the Netherworld Monarch's expression shifted abruptly, his face instantly turning grave with unprecedented solemnity.

The Path of Immortality is, in its essence, the Great Dao of flawless and boundless perfection. Empowered by Eldrin’s current mastery as the Sovereign of the Soul Path, its might had surged—far more than doubling in potency.

Clang—

In an instant, the legendary immortal sword surged through all directions, empowered by Eldrin's supreme cultivation as it cleaved downward, erupting into a cataclysmic collision with the Infernal Sword.

In but a single clash, the Lord of Purgatory was sent flying backward, sword and all, a supreme sword scar piercing through his chest, leaving him grievously wounded.

"The Great Dao of Immortals, the Soul Dao Reigns Supreme."

"Dual Limitless Foundations... to think they could be this terrifying?"

Witnessing the Infernal Lord being severely wounded in a single strike, the other presiding masters present instantly revealed expressions of profound horror.

It must be understood that the cultivation of the Lord of Purgatory had reached the pinnacle of creation, standing merely a step away from the top-tier Sovereigns. Even paramount rulers like the Primordial Devil Progenitor and the Ancestor of All Demons would find it difficult to defeat him in a single move.

Yet such a figure had been severely wounded by Eldrin (Person Name) in a single move, leaving them utterly astonished.

"Nameless, cease your insolence!"

Witnessing Eldrin (Person Name) vanquish the Lord of Purgatory in a single strike, the gathered Chaos Overlords erupted in fury.

In an instant, the 3 supreme overlords—the Primordial Devil Ancestor, the Heaven-Annihilation Overlord, and the Heaven-Plunging Overlord—closed in from all sides.

They gazed coldly at Eldrin, until finally, the eyes of the Ancestor of 10 1000 Demons glinted with frost as he spoke, "To think you actually succeeded. But today, we shall still settle this once and for all."

Eldrin stood serenely in the void, his snow-white robes billowing like frozen mist. He resembled an ancient immortal sovereign poised at the heart of chaos, gazing down upon foes from all directions with transcendent disdain.

"Let the destruction come. You are no match for this seat."

"Arrogant."

The Heaven-Slaying Sovereign was enraged beyond measure. He immediately mounted his Annihilation War Halberd and soared into the sky, charging directly toward Eldrin to suppress him.

Yet Eldrin remained utterly unmoved. With a flick of his sleeve, he harnessed the Great Dao of Immortality, swiftly manifesting a supreme true form that swept across the 6 directions. The sheer force sent his opponent flying backward violently.

It was evident that although both were supreme Infinite Dominators, the Heaven-Slaughter Dominator ultimately fell short against Eldrin (Person Name), who possessed dual Infinite Foundations.

"Ah—"

After dozens of consecutive exchanges, the Lord of Celestial Annihilation was forced back repeatedly, finally unable to resist glancing at the Primordial Devil Progenitor and the Lord of Heavenly Descent beside him. "Both of you," he uttered, "join forces with me to suppress this foe."

"We are here to aid you."

Witnessing this, the Primordial Devil Progenitor and the Fallen Heaven Sovereign immediately summoned their Chaos Divine Artifacts, soaring through the skies as they launched a joint assault toward Eldrin.

It must be admitted that the combined might unleashed by the 3 supreme overlords could truly be described as earth-shattering and unprecedented. Even Nameless in his prime would likely have viewed it with considerable apprehension.

Yet the present Eldrin felt not a trace of fear, nor did he have any interest in prolonging this entanglement.

Clang—

Eldrin gave a sudden flick of his sleeve, and a great bell of primordial chaos tore through the void, instantly sending the 3 supreme overlords reeling through the air, coughing up blood.

Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Witnessing the birth of the Chaos Bell, a trace of frost flashed in the Destroyer Lord's pupils.

He abruptly maneuvered the Blade of Annihilation in a devastating arc, launching a treacherous strike from behind aimed directly at Eldrin.

The force of this strike was unparalleled, its supreme destructive power sufficient to grievously wound the Primordial Sovereign. Even a peak-level Sovereign would inevitably face the utter annihilation of their physical form.

Annihilation...

As the Lord of Destruction descended, Eldrin wore a grave expression for the first time.

Compared to ordinary Primal Chaos Masters, figures like Destruction and World-Ender are all Heaven-ordained Primordial Chaos Masters.

He was born carrying the Mandate of Heaven, possessing a true Half-Step Primordial foundation. His strength far surpassed that of the top-tier Dominators of the same realm, not to mention he wielded the Chaos Supreme Treasure renowned for its unparalleled lethality.

Facing such a formidable foe, Eldrin did not show the slightest negligence. With a sudden flick of his sleeve, he uttered a soft incantation.

Cauldron, descend—

In an instant, within an unknown rift in spacetime, a Chaos Great Cauldron trembled violently before breaking free, enveloped by the power of the Immortal Dao and the Soul Dao.

He leaped out of the boundless spacetime and emerged within this chaos. With a thunderous crash, he slammed into the Blade of Annihilation, forcibly jolting the Lord of Destruction back 3 full steps.

"Hiss—"

After the Lord of Destruction was repelled, he instantly drew a sharp, cold breath.

He cast an extremely wary glance at Eldrin and finally spoke in an icy tone, “Nameless, when I later set foot into the Half-Step Primordial Chaos, you shall be the first I utterly annihilate.”

As the words faded, the Lord of Annihilation unleashed a single strike that pierced the heavens, vanishing instantly into the boundless chaos.

Witnessing this, the other Rival Faction overlords also revealed deeply wary expressions before leisurely vanishing into the depths of the primordial chaos.

In response, Eldrin did not pursue the attack. With the opponent on guard, attempting to suppress and eliminate a Chaos Dominus would be as difficult as scaling the heavens.

Even if his primordial spirit could be annihilated, given the cultivation level of the Chaos Lord, revival would hardly be a significant ordeal.

At this thought, Eldrin stored away the Chaos Bell and Chaos Cauldron before rising to address the presiding masters of the Guardian Faction. "My gratitude for your assistance, fellow cultivators. I owe you a favor."

Upon hearing this, all the Chaos Rulers revealed faint smiles.

Seeing this, the Chaos Spirit Sovereign couldn't help but smile and say, "Congratulations on your revival and return, Fellow Daoist. It seems our Pathguard Sect can finally stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Pathobstruct Sect from now on."

"Indeed, indeed. Not only has Daoist Nameless returned from his slumber, but he has also established the foundation of a Soul Dao Sovereign. From now on, those obstructionist Sovereigns likely wouldn’t dare to act so recklessly."

All the Chaos Masters present exchanged faint smiles, each revealing a flicker of exhilaration.

After exchanging brief pleasantries with the assembly, Eldrin saw the various overlords off, retaining only the 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor.

He ushered the 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor into the Chaotic Realm before speaking, "All these years, you've shouldered the burden alone. It must have been arduous for you."

"Alas."

The 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor let out a faint sigh before speaking, "Back then, I was hindered by the Annihilation Elder and couldn't lend you a hand, Senior. I am truly ashamed."

"Between you and me, there's no need for such formality. Let us interact as peers."

Eldrin shook his head, exchanged a few more pleasantries with him, and inquired about the recent circumstances of Black Abyss and Chen Xianzhu.

Upon learning of their origins, the 9-Cycle Dao Ancestor sighed with emotion, "Who would have thought that my 2 disciples share such a profound connection with you, esteemed 1."

"With their innate talent and potential, they may very well ascend to the Half-Step Limitless Realm in time."

Eldrin gave a slight nod and said, "I would appreciate it if you could keep an eye on things for me. I shall pay a personal visit in a dozen or so days."

"Very well." The 9-Cycle Dao Ancestor smiled, rising to his feet. "When the time comes, I shall prepare my humble abode to welcome you."

After bidding farewell to the 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor, Eldrin personally journeyed into the depths of the chaos, arriving at the very place where Luo and Hong had fallen.

Yet he spared not the expenditure of his primordial Dao essence, channeling the boundless Immortal Dao to thoroughly revive Luo from within its depths.

Master.

After Luo came to, his first sight was of Eldrin. Overwhelmed with joy, he immediately prostrated himself and said, "Congratulations, Master, on your return to the Realm of Limitless Unity."

Arise.

Eldrin waved his hand calmly, then activated his supreme cultivation art to reconstruct the destroyed Chaos Realm. Yet regrettably, Hong within the realm still showed no signs of revival.

This drew a faint sigh from him. Though his current cultivation could be described as comprehending the workings of creation—capable of establishing 3,000 primordial immortal realms in a single Eldrin (Person Name), and even restoring destroyed primordial chaos realms—there were ultimately limits to what he could accomplish.

Hong had risked everything in this desperate gamble to draw attention, ultimately leading to his complete Dao collapse and physical demise. Even with Eldrin's current cultivation mastery, it would be nearly impossible to revive and bring him back.

"My foolish child."

Eldrin (Person Name) let out a soft sigh, then tore through the primordial chaos with Luo, returning to the Primordial Hongmeng Secret Realm.

After returning to the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm, Eldrin gathered the various Supreme Rulers under his command and spoke calmly, "My ascension to the Realm of Dominance is truly a joyous occasion worthy of celebration."

"After 1 100 20-some kalpas, it happens to coincide with my million-kalpa longevity. Let us hold the Grand Ceremony of Infinity alongside it."

"We obey."

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and dropped to their knees in reverence.

Eldrin said nothing to this, merely waving a hand to signal the others to depart.

A moment later, the crowd dispersed 1 after another, leaving only a handful of individuals behind—Lyra (Person Name) among the few who remained.

"You don't seem too happy."

Seeing that Eldrin showed no sign of delight, Lyra couldn't help but ask with concern.

Eldrin nodded slightly, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "I had thought that by returning to the Realm of Boundless Infinity, I would be able to control everything."

"Yet as it stands, it seems there are things even I cannot accomplish."

Lyra understood he was reminiscing about Hong, and comforted him gently, "You needn't grieve. I believe Hong would be immensely comforted to see you return to the state of Wuji."

"Moreover, I believe that if you become strong enough, you might be able to change everything. Rather than drowning in sorrow here, it would be better to focus on your cultivation."

"Hmm."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, calming his emotions before entering seclusion to consolidate his cultivation.

After returning to the seclusion chamber, Eldrin began to examine his own cultivation level.

This time, his breakthrough allowed his soul cultivation to step into the realm of Chaos Dominance, bringing about a transformation in strength that could be described as defying the heavens.

He was already at the quasi-Sovereign level, yet not only did he ascend directly to the Sovereign Realm in a single step, but he also advanced straight to the mid-stage of the Sovereign Realm. The distance to becoming a top-tier Sovereign was now no longer far off.

Not only that, after breaking through to Soul Dao Sovereign, Eldrin also effortlessly reclaimed the authority over the Immortal Dao, propelling him directly to the pinnacle strength of a supreme Infinite Sovereign.

It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin (Person Name) was able to force the Annihilation Sovereign and others into a startled retreat.

Having cultivated 2 Paths of Limitless Dao and mastered 2 Chaos Supreme Treasures, Eldrin was now beyond the reach of any siege.

Even if all the masters of the Path-Obstructing Faction joined forces to besiege him, they could at most force Eldrin to retreat into the chaotic borderlands—there was no possibility of suppressing and slaying him again.

However, the Pathguard Sect also had no small number of sovereigns; they would never allow them to besiege Eldrin (Person Name) all at once.

Under such circumstances, retreat was their only option, knowing full well they could do nothing to Eldrin.

"My current cultivation and combat prowess are on par with the Lord of Destruction and the Lord of Apocalypse."

"However, with 2 Chaos Supreme Treasures in hand, I can barely manage to suppress these 2 by a slight margin."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then surveyed the foundations of his being, forming a clear plan for the path ahead.

Since his soul cultivation had already achieved a breakthrough, the next step in his plan should be to master the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos and forge the Body of Primordial Chaos.

Chapter 1 The biting northern wind swept across the mountain range, howling like countless vengeful spirits. Snowflakes danced wildly in the air, blanketing the jagged peaks in a layer of pristine white. At the edge of a precipitous cliff stood a young man, his blue robes tattered and stained with blood, flapping violently in the gale. "Lin Feng, hand over the Heavenly Profound Art, and we might spare your miserable life!" A man in black robes shouted, his voice cutting through the wind like a sharp blade. Behind him stood over a dozen cultivators, their eyes gleaming with greed. Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a cold smile curling his lips. "The Heavenly Profound Art has been passed down through my lineage for 10 1000 years. Did you really think you could seize it with mere numbers?" He slowly raised his right hand, where spiritual energy began to coalesce into a dazzling sphere of light. The falling snowflakes vaporized instantly upon contact with the glowing sphere, creating a shimmering halo around him. "Arrogant fool!" The black-robed man sneered, raising his hand to signal the others. "Attack together! He's already exhausted his spiritual power!" Over a dozen magical treasures lit up simultaneously—flying swords, mystic mirrors, and golden bells—all aimed at the lone figure on the cliff edge. The combined spiritual pressure caused the very air to tremble. Just as the cultivators were about to unleash their assault, Lin Feng suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes sharp as daggers. "You want the Heavenly Profound Art? Then have a taste of its true power!" He slammed his palm onto his own dantian, and a brilliant golden light erupted from his body. The cultivators watched in horror as Lin Feng's aura skyrocketed, his spiritual power multiplying exponentially in an instant. "This... this is impossible!" The black-robed man stammered, his face pale. "He's burning his life essence!" Lin Feng laughed heartily, the sound echoing through the mountains. "Since you're all so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" A colossal golden seal materialized in the sky, its surface covered in mysterious ancient runes that pulsed with overwhelming power. As the seal descended, the very space around it seemed to distort and warp. The cultivators desperately tried to flee, but found their movements hindered as if trapped in deep mud. Their panicked screams were abruptly cut off as the golden seal came crashing down. When the light finally faded, the cliff edge where Lin Feng had stood was now empty, with only a bottomless chasm remaining. The blizzard continued to rage, as if nothing had ever happened there. Far away, in a remote mountain village, a young man suddenly opened his eyes. "Where... where am I?" He looked down at his pale, slender hands, his mind in turmoil. "Wasn't I supposed to be dead?" Memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave—both his own and those belonging to another person. After a long while, he finally came to a realization. He had transmigrated.
