Chapter 2174 : Primordial Chaos Realm (Cultivation Realm)【Finale】
Eldrin then began to focus on cultivating the path of Physical Body Sanctification and Soul Dominion, as these 2 disciplines did not occupy slots among the Great Daos.
Thus, through countless millennia, Eldrin's Primordial Spirit Dao had also stepped half a stride into the Primordial Chaos realm.
The 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor benefited from this as well, seizing the opportunity to attain the Half-Step Primordial Chaos realm.
After Eldrin's primordial spirit stepped into the half-step Primordial Chaos realm, he found he could now effortlessly command the Great Dao of Infinity.
Without delay, he thus mastered 30-6 primordial avenues of the Infinite Dao, encompassing the principles of Primordial Beginnings, Space-Time, the Returning Abyss, and the Cycle of Reincarnation, among others.
Thus time flew by, and as the Chaotic Epoch drew toward its end, Eldrin discovered he had unknowingly cultivated 7 half-step Hongmeng foundations.
Among these 7 half-step Primordial foundations, 1 major Primordial foundation was the half-step Primordial primordial spirit.
In addition, there were 6 Primordial Daos: the Dao of Chaos, the Dao of Primordiality, the Dao of Time and Space, the Dao of the Returning Abyss, the Dao of the Primordial Spirit, and the Dao of Self-Devotion.
Having cultivated all 7 foundations to the pseudo-half-step Primordial Chaos realm, even Eldrin’s half-step Primordial Chaos primordial spirit could not fully command them. Thus, he refined several avatars, each attaining the half-step Primordial Chaos realm.
"The 7 great Primordial Foundations are the absolute limit."
"To advance further, 1 must completely merge the 7 Great Primordial Foundations."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, then turned his gaze toward the depths of the chaos.
Unbeknownst to all, chaos had become saturated with calamitous energy, as if the moment of complete annihilation was drawing near once more.
"Chaos is on the verge of annihilation, and the distance to the Returning Abyss is no longer far."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, then gazed at the Li Fire Pearl of the Returning Abyss in his palm. Unbeknownst to him, it had already ascended to become a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
As the ultimate treasure of the Chaotic Returning Abyss, the successful ascension of the Returning Abyss Pearl heralded the definitive end of this chaotic epoch.
At this thought, Eldrin lifted his gaze toward the depths of the chaos, where a cataclysmic roar suddenly erupted, shaking the very foundations of heaven and earth.
Then, 2 figures strolled into view—precisely the Lord of Destruction and the Lord of Annihilation.
The 2 supreme Half-Step Primordials turned their gaze toward Eldrin. The Lord of Destruction sneered coldly, "Nameless Old Man, today marks your final hour."
"You dare."
In an instant, countless figures emerged from the endless chaos.
The Annihilation Sovereign instantly revealed a look of shock, unable to hold back his astonishment as he exclaimed, "1 100 1000 Chaos Sovereigns? How is that possible?"
Both Dominators were utterly astounded, never imagining that this epoch would harbor so many Chaos Dominators.
But in the very next instant, the Lord of Destruction exclaimed with delight, "All beneath Half-Step Hongmeng are but ants. These Chaos Lords are no trouble at all—rather, they are our opportunity."
"We wield the power of apocalypse and annihilation. By eradicating them all, we shall inevitably transcend this Chaotic Epoch, and may even glimpse the supreme Primordial Chaos realm."
With this thought, the God of Destruction immediately took action, summoning his Blade of Annihilation to tear through the void and strike directly at the myriad Chaos Overlords filling the sky.
Elsewhere, the Annihilation Sovereign also activated the Annihilation Mill, pressing it down in an attempt to utterly annihilate Eldrin on the spot.
The instant the 2 made their move, everyone present paled with terror.
Now, as the Chaotic Era drew toward annihilation, the 2 Chaos Overlords, blessed by the Mandate of Heaven, had elevated their cultivation to the Pseudo Half-Step Primordial Chaos.
At this moment, they carried the Mandate of Heaven upon them, capable of slaying even a Pseudo Half-Step Primordial Chaos being face to face.
"Hmph—"
Facing the combined strike of the 2 opponents, Eldrin merely let out a cold snort. With a flick of his finger, he sent both supreme treasures flying backward. The impact forced the 2 Half-Step Primordial experts to cough up blood as they were violently thrown through the air.
Defeated in a single move, the Lord of Destruction revealed an expression of utter disbelief, unable to suppress his shock as he exclaimed in astonishment.
"Impossible! We are both at the Half-Step Primordial Realm, how can you be this powerful?"
"For you were born of the Heavenly Mandate, utterly incapable of comprehending the true essence of the Primordial Chaos."
Eldrin struck in an instant, harnessing the Sacrificial Dao to sweep across all directions. With a single move, he shattered the Destruction Lord’s physical form into fragments.
With another flick of his sleeve, he pressed down with a single finger, crushing the Annihilation Sovereign into a mist of blood.
Then, he activated the Abyssal Pearl to suppress them, drawing both of their primordial souls into its depths and grinding them into nothingness.
After grinding down the 2 formidable foes, Eldrin took the Blade of Annihilation and the World-Devouring Millstone into his hands.
"Congratulations, Patriarch. The Patriarch is invincible."
Witnessing Eldrin vanquish 2 supreme powerhouses, everyone present revealed expressions of astonishment and delight.
Eldrin, however, lifted his gaze toward the boundless chaos. As he watched the vast expanse begin to fracture and dissolve, his expression grew solemn. "All of you should seek refuge in the Land of Remnants to avoid the calamity," he said with grave resolve.
Hearing this, everyone bowed with utmost reverence before setting off 1 after another toward the Land of Remnant Eternity.
The crowd gradually dispersed, until only 4 powerhouses remained. Each of these 4 possessed invincible strength, all having forged a Pseudo Half-Step Primordial Chaos Foundation.
Lyra (Person Name), the 9-Revolutions Dao Ancestor, Seal-Sorrow Sovereign, and Kael (Person Name).
Among them, Script-Sorrow Lord wielded the Great Tome of Dao, a Chaos Supreme Treasure, while Kael (Person Name) commanded the Chart of True Spirit, another Chaos Supreme Treasure.
Both of them were Chosen Ones of this chaotic epoch, originally destined to become Eldrin's (Person Name) dao-companions in the future timeline. They had once reached the pseudo-quasi-Primordial Chaos realm.
In their original fates, both of them fell in battle at the final moment.
Thus, the future Eldrin, while altering his own destiny, inadvertently changed the fates of 2 others.
"Chaos Era Return to the Void, is it truly irreversible?"
At this moment, as the primordial chaos teetered on the verge of annihilation, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but murmur softly, a trace of bewilderment coloring her voice as she asked.
Eldrin shook his head and said, "If I were to set foot in the Primordial Chaos Realm, I could indeed establish an eternal epoch."
"Yet that would be meaningless. The true path of a supreme expert must transcend the Chaos Epoch."
With those words spoken, Eldrin then took out the Blade of Annihilation and the World-Devastating Millstone. Calmly, he said, "Guard me while I focus."
"Excellent!"
Lyra spoke, her expression instantly turning grave.
Eldrin spoke no further and immediately began refining the Annihilation Blade and the Annihilation Millstone. In a short time, he had mastered these 2 branches of the Primordial Chaos Dao, once again cultivating 2 additional half-step Primordial Chaos avatars.
"He has cultivated the 9 great Primordial Chaos foundations."
After cultivating the 9 great Primordial Chaos Foundations, Eldrin rose to his feet, savoring a rare moment of tranquility. He lifted his gaze toward the depths of the chaos, only to discover that most of it had now collapsed into ruin.
Endless power of apocalypse, annihilation, and primordial oblivion surged into Eldrin, continuously amplifying his cultivation base.
"Once I transcend this tribulation and refine the false into the true, I shall be able to charge toward the Primordial Chaos Realm."
Eldrin murmured softly, quietly awaiting the end of the Chaos Epoch.
No 1 knew how much time had passed. When the Chaotic Epoch was on the verge of complete annihilation, myriad streams of Primordial light surged from beyond the endless chaos.
3 supreme figures strolled forth, gazing serenely at Eldrin.
The leader's eyes flickered with a trace of wistfulness as he said, "You have altered your own destiny, growing far stronger than the you bound by fate’s design."
"Fate, tribulation, karma..."
Eldrin (Person Name) murmured slowly, a trace of frost gleaming in his eyes. "So it was you after all."
The Fate Dao Ancestor gave a slight nod, then revealed an expression of extreme apprehension.
He wielded the power of fate, yet under destiny's interference, Eldrin had only cultivated 3 pseudo-Primordial foundations.
Under the desperate protection of pseudo-half-Step Hongmeng cultivators like Lyra, Eldrin sacrificed his 3 pseudo-Hongmeng foundations to forge his True Self, thereby attaining power sufficient to rival all 3 of them.
With such power, once he transcends this chaotic epoch, the 3 of them combined would likely stand no chance against Eldrin (Person Name).
Fortunately, Eldrin had not yet completely transcended this chaotic epoch, leaving them with the possibility of eliminating him.
Thus, joining forces, they manipulated cause and effect, toyed with fate, and laid down calamities, seeking to directly alter Eldrin’s past.
They had laid 3 key pieces: the Calamity Demon God, the Devouring Abyssal Sovereign, and the Lord of Annihilation.
Unfortunately, Eldrin (Person Name) seized the opportunity to strike as well, engaging in a battle of wits with them across the river of time in the past.
He transformed his former self, enabling the 1 he once was to rise from adversity and grow increasingly formidable.
In the end, the Calamity Demon God was vanquished by Eldrin. Though the Devouring Demon Emperor possessed the makings of a supreme ruler, before Eldrin, he could not even raise a single ripple.
The Lord of Destruction, originally the greatest obstacle, was instead exploited by Eldrin to split his primordial spirit. He journeyed back to the primordial era of the Chaos Epoch, cultivating an incarnation as the Nameless Dao Ancestor. This laid the groundwork for his false attainment of the Half-Step Primordial Chaos Primordial Spirit.
It could be said that in the game between the 2 sides, Eldrin (Person Name) achieved an almost total victory.
He directly altered his own fate and tribulations, cultivating a soul that had reached the half-step Primordial Chaos Realm. Thus, he gained mastery over the 9 foundations of Primordial Chaos, wielding power far surpassing what he possessed before reshaping his destiny.
"I have toyed with fate for years, yet never imagined I would ultimately be bested by you in the realm of destiny."
The Fate Dao Ancestor spoke slowly, a faint trace of a sigh coloring his expression.
The Lord of Calamity let out a cold laugh and said, "This may not be a bad thing."
"You in the weave of fate possess but 3 false Primordial Foundations, nearly failing when offering yourself to me."
"Now that you have cultivated the 9 Primordial Chaos Foundations, the difficulty of sacrificing everything to forge your 1 true self has increased by more than a hundredfold."
"Succeed or fail, it all comes down to this final gamble."
Eldrin spoke calmly, ultimately mastering the supreme cultivation physique as he began sacrificing his 8 primordial foundations of Hongmeng, along with the 30-6 supreme paths of Chaos and Wuji.
In an instant, the great Daos of Annihilation, World-Extinction, Return to Ruin, Primordial Chaos, Primordial Beginning, Time and Space, and Samsara—1 after another—merged into Eldrin’s primordial spirit.
All these great Daos, all these foundations, merged completely with Eldrin, seeking to gestate a supreme body of Primordial Chaos.
That nearly all-obliterating force, which sought to utterly annihilate Eldrin (Person Name), was forcibly suppressed by Eldrin (Person Name) himself.
"Stop him!"
The Lord of Calamity spoke, instantly unleashing boundless killing intent.
In an instant, endless threads of destiny, strands of karma, and even the power of heavenly tribulations converged and slashed toward Eldrin, seeking to utterly devour him.
3 supreme half-step Primordial Chaos experts, in their determination to utterly annihilate Eldrin, did not hesitate to destroy 3 quasi-Primordial Chaos treasures: the Thread of Causality, the River of Fate, and the Sword of Tribulation. They unleashed a peerless strike unparalleled throughout all antiquity.
"Hmph—"
Eldrin let out a muffled grunt, yet his flesh began to split apart, crack after crack spreading across it.
Husband.
Lyra's expression shifted slightly as she immediately fought her way out with desperate resolve, stopping at no cost to obstruct the 3 supreme experts.
The other 3 also unleashed their full power, burning their primordial spirits and Great Daos without hesitation, engaging in a desperate struggle against the 3 Half-Step Primordial Chaos experts.
"Yet a mere pseudo half-step into the Primordial Chaos dares to challenge us?"
The Lord of Calamity sneered coldly, summoning a sword intent that soared into the sky, and severed the head of the 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor.
Yet he still let out a roar of unwilling defiance, erupting with a final, desperate cry. At the cost of shattering his own path to the Great Dao, he unleashed a life-or-death strike.
Alas, the strength of these false Half-Step Primordial beings who had yet to transcend the Chaos Epoch ultimately had its limits. They could hardly withstand the 3 true Half-Step Primordials, and after holding out for a time, they were utterly annihilated.
At this moment, Eldrin's physical body had completely fractured, teetering on the brink of absolute demise.
"To sacrifice the 9 Great Primordial Foundations in pursuit of the Singular True Self—such audacious overreach defies all reason."
Seeing Eldrin on the verge of death, the 3 Half-Step Primordial Unity experts sneered contemptuously before launching a devastating slash toward him.
With a thunderous explosion, Eldrin's physical body shattered completely, dissipating into the primordial chaos.
"Hahaha."
Witnessing Eldrin’s complete physical annihilation, the 3 supreme experts instantly broke into triumphant smiles.
They looked toward the spot where Eldrin (Person Name) had been seated in meditation, only to witness an intangible vortex materializing where he had fallen.
This was a Maelstrom of the Returning Abyss, voraciously devouring the very essence of primordial chaos, swallowing entire shattered epochs into its depths.
"Chaos of the Returning Abyss, this is the end of all things, where everything shall cease to exist."
"This time, he was deader than dead."
The Lord of Causality spoke, a faint smile gracing his lips.
Joining forces, they channeled the powers of fate, karma, and tribulation to perform divination. The calculations revealed not a single trace of Eldrin (Person Name) surviving, and they all breathed a sigh of relief at once.
The Lord of Destiny smiled faintly before speaking, "After the Return to Abyss, the Primordial Chaos shall transform into the Primordial Hongmeng. Legends say this time a Hongmeng opportunity will emerge, and perhaps both you and I may tread upon that threshold."
Just as the 3 were overcome with ecstasy, the entire Chaotic Chance Realm dissolved into nothingness, surging into the boundless vortex of the Returning Abyss.
The Master of Fate could scarcely contain his excitement, stroking his beard with trembling fingers as he declared, "The Primordial Chaos is about to manifest. The time has come for us to witness the birth of the Hongmeng."
Under the expectant gazes of the 3, the Abyssal Vortex vanished without a trace, ultimately leaving behind an endless stream of Primordial Purple Light.
Within that overwhelming Primordial Purple Light, a vaguely discernible, indescribable humanoid figure sat cross-legged.
He sat there in meditation, as if he were the origin of all things and the ultimate end of all existence, emanating an indescribable supreme Dao Charm.
He transcended the Dao, transcended matter, transcended chaos.
He had transcended all human-defined philosophies such as fate, causality, time and space, samsara, and tribulations.
Endless Chaos Opportunities, the boundless river of time and space, and infinite power of destiny—all of it swirled within the palm of his hand.
Eldrin rose slowly, his mind opening up hundreds of millions of chaotic realms in an instant, only to let them pass through 3 1000 chaotic epochs in the next thought.
He raised his hand, and within his palm, a minor realm, a major realm, a great chiliocosm, a cosmos, multidimensional spacetime, boundless multiverses, and infinite chaos manifested 1 by 1, transforming into layer upon layer of an exponential tower whose summit could not be seen.
As his gaze fell with favor, an ant grasped the Great Dao, its cultivation stepping into the half-step Primordial Chaos.
In the blink of an eye, all crumbled into dust, like a towering edifice collapsing and vanishing into nothingness.
Survival, procreation, passion, elegy, epic, time, destiny, karma, the Dao…
All the joys and sorrows, partings and reunions in the mortal realm, all things defined and undefinable, gained meaning in the blink of Eldrin's eye, only to lose it again in the next instant.
"To create all, transcend all, reign above all, and command all."
"So this is the Primordial Realm..."
Eldrin murmured softly, lifting his gaze toward the 3 quasi-Hongmeng entities: Fate, Karma, and Heavenly Tribulation.
The 3 of them stood frozen in place, momentarily robbed of all speech. To their utter horror, they discovered the Great Dao they had mastered had vanished.
The River of Fate had ceased to exist, causality no longer governed the world, and tribulations had vanished without a trace.
They trembled, desperate to alter something, only to find their consciousness, physical forms, and everything they were dissolving into nothingness. In the end, it was as if all existence had been erased from reality.
Having eradicated 3 Half-Step Primordial Chaos experts, Eldrin (Person Name) then waved his sleeve, conjuring boundless chaos.
Chaos upon chaos emerged from the primordial ether, 1 by 1, old acquaintances returned from the void.
5 Soul Slaves, the Hidden Return Ancestor, the 9-Soul Celestial Emperor—all his former acquaintances, and indeed every living being from the world he once knew, were revived and returned in that single moment by Eldrin.
Lyra, Kael, Zhuanchou Jun, and the 9 Revolutions Dao Ancestor emerged beside Eldrin, their cultivation realms having reached the transcendent state of Half-Step Primordial Chaos.
A genuine smile graced Eldrin's face for the first time, yet he sighed deeply at Lyra and said,
"All regrets have been mended, all resentments can be undone."
"To command all, to create all, and to transform all."
"Alas, the Primordial Chaos Realm (Cultivation Realm) governs all existence. It is impossible for anyone to break free from its dominion, and no second powerhouse at the Hongmeng Realm can emerge in this world."
