Chapter 698 : Twin Arcane Powers Awaken

Moreover, cultivating both the Heavenly Flame and the True Water Arcane Power [profound supernatural abilities derived from comprehending the fundamental laws of reality] further refined the purity of Eldrin Chen's spiritual power. Its density and potency increased by another thirty percent beyond its previous state.

It must be understood that for the majority of Primordial Spirit Path Lord [cultivators who have reached the Primordial Spirit realm and begun to comprehend the fundamental Paths of reality], mastering a single Arcane Power is often enough to dominate a region. Those capable of wielding two or more such powers are typically supreme beings at the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage or higher.

Take the Long River Path Lord, for instance. He simultaneously commands the Long River Arcane Power of the Water Element and the Setting Sun Arcane Power of the Fire Element.

With these two Arcane Power at his command, augmented by his High Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier enchanted artifact imbued with the power of the primordial sun], the 'Long River Setting Sun Painting', the Long River Path Lord's strength ranks as formidable even among his peers at the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage.

Though Eldrin Chen's cultivation base was merely at the Infant Soul Mid Stage, he could command both the Primordial Solar Flame and Profound Darkness Water Arcane Power. This demonstrated that, aside from the enhancement granted by his Celestial-Mortal Symbiosis [a unique state where a cultivator's mortal and nascent spiritual forms exist in perfect harmony], his comprehension talent was in no way inferior to that of a Primordial Spirit Mid Stage Great Power.

However, cultivating two Arcane Power simultaneously, while granting greater combat prowess, also consumed a cultivator's focus and energy immensely.

After all, the ultimate purpose of comprehending such Arcane Power was to grasp the legendary Path Principles Power [the fundamental laws that govern reality, the comprehension of which is the key to ascension]. Delving into multiple paths would inevitably slow one's progress in Path Principles Comprehension.

For the vast majority of Primordial Spirit Path Lord, focusing on a single Path Principles offered no guarantee of achieving immortality. Attempting to comprehend multiple Arcane Power could instead completely sever their path to ascension.

Only those of truly exceptional, heaven-defying talent could confidently aspire to comprehend multiple Arcane Power and, in one grand leap, cultivate several Path Principles to achieve immortality.

And such an existence, once they ascended, was destined for astonishing future achievements, ranking among the most formidable of their peers even among fellow Immortal. Continue your cultivation journey at audio-novel`com.

Of course, this does not mean that specializing in a single Path Principles [the fundamental laws and principles that govern a specific cultivation path] is inherently weak. There are those who focus on one path and ultimately reach the Great Path [the supreme, all-encompassing Dao], cultivating to the realm of a Great Encompassing Immortal Lord [an immortal lord who has mastered and unified all paths].

Conversely, there are those who cultivate several Path Principles simultaneously, yet ultimately find themselves trapped within the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the realm of a newly ascended immortal], unable to make any further progress.

Although all three thousand Great Path can lead to enlightenment, how far one ultimately travels depends entirely on one's own fortune and innate talent.

Eldrin Chen possessed extraordinary comprehension, further enhanced by the blessings of Celestial-Mortal Symbiosis [a profound state where celestial and mortal energies harmonize within a cultivator]. Now, cultivating two types of Arcane Power [mystical powers derived from profound cultivation principles] simultaneously, his combat prowess increased yet again, filling him with a surge of quiet satisfaction.

After concluding his secluded cultivation and testing his newly refined spiritual energy, Eldrin Chen discovered that both Verdant Consort and Exquisite Jiang were also in seclusion.

Upon inquiring with Lila, he learned that Exquisite Jiang was secluded to refine and absorb the Fire Source Divine Jade [a divine jade containing the primordial essence of fire], while Verdant Consort was digesting the profound insights gained from her thousand-life Reincarnation [the cyclical process of death and rebirth of the soul].

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen chose not to disturb them and began his own period of deep cultivation.

"It is also time to delve into the study of curse arts," he murmured to himself.

Muttering this, Eldrin Chen sought out the curse technique Divine Ability [a supernatural ability granted by profound cultivation] manuals treasured within the family archives.

Having been secretly targeted by curse arts from Demonic Path [cultivation arts aligned with demonic or malevolent principles] Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and highest form of a cultivator's soul] cultivators on two separate occasions, Eldrin Chen resolved to dedicate this period of seclusion to researching curse technique Divine Ability.

Since its rise over eight hundred years ago, the Chen Clan has, along its path, successively toppled several Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Land such as Black Fiend Demon Ridge, Desolate Demon Ridge, and Blood Cavern Island. The number of Demonic Path [the heretical path of cultivation that often employs cruel and bloody methods] cultivators they have eradicated is nearly countless, and naturally, they have also acquired a vast quantity of Demonic Path artifacts and resources.

Among these were numerous Demonic Path Curse Technique [malignant magical techniques that inflict harm from a distance, often requiring sinister components]. Combined with curse arts from the righteous and unorthodox paths, the Chen Clan now possesses a treasury of several hundred scrolls of Demonic Path Curse Technique, with the three most profound among them even reaching the level of Great God Ability [a supreme grade of divine ability, immensely powerful and difficult to master].

These included signature techniques like the 'Black Fiend Entangling Threads Curse' of Black Fiend Old Demon and the Innate Great God Ability Desolation Demon Soul Devourer Curse [a curse that consumes the very soul of its victim, born from the Desolation Old Demon's innate power] of Desolation Old Demon, representing the pinnacle of Demonic Path Great God Ability.

Most of these Demonic Path Curse Technique were exceedingly vile, requiring special Demonic Path treasures or bloody, grotesque materials to enact. As a righteous path cultivator, Eldrin Chen naturally would not practice them directly.

However, setting aside their cruel methodologies, the underlying primal Dao patterns [the fundamental magical scripts that define a technique's nature] and some of their ingenious concepts proved highly enlightening to Eldrin Chen.

He spent over a dozen years in contemplation, thoroughly digesting these Demonic Path Curse Technique, and then began crafting a new curse-type Divine Ability [a supernatural ability derived from cultivation].

"Using primal Dao patterns as the foundation, incorporating the strengths of Demonic Path Curse Technique, and employing both True Water [water of the highest purity and spiritual potency] and Heavenly Flame [a flame of celestial origin, containing immense yang energy] essences as the medium... can I create an Immortal Path [the orthodox path of cultivation aiming for immortality] curse technique of Great God Ability grade?"

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, simultaneously deducing the Divine Ability Dao patterns and channeling the dual essences of True Water and Heavenly Flame to sketch the embryonic form of the curse Divine Ability. Finally, he completed the initial creation of this Divine Ability.

The newly formed Divine Ability was merely at the threshold of the Great God Ability realm. Eldrin Chen continued to refine its Dao patterns, weaving his own insights into its fabric. After nine more years of dedicated effort, he finally perfected this Divine Ability.

"It is done!"

Gazing upon the Divine Ability Dao patterns [the fundamental principles of a divine ability, manifested as intricate spiritual runes] within his body, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a trace of joy upon his face.

The curse technique he had created, the Great God Ability, was a Celestial Mechanism Path [a profound cultivation art focused on manipulating cosmic mechanisms and fate] Great God Ability, and moreover, it was a curse technique Great God Ability specialized in the path of attack and slaughter.

The power of this Divine Ability was in no way inferior to the Great Deduction Heavenly Art or the Stellar Glazed Body; one could say each possessed its own unique strengths and subtleties.

This curse technique was further divided into the Profound Darkness Curse Seal and the Primordial Solar Curse Seal. The Profound Darkness Curse Seal, embodying the ultimate Yin and cold, could freeze all things. The Primordial Solar Curse Seal, however, contained Heavenly Flame Power [the purifying and destructive power of celestial fire] and possessed the ability to incinerate all creation.

When these two curse seals fused into one, they would trigger the 'Polarity Annihilation Fallen God Curse'. Should this curse erupt within a person's body, even a Half-Step Primordial Spirit [a cultivator whose spiritual core has partially transcended to the Primordial Spirit realm] cultivator would likely be unable to withstand it.

However, to unleash the 'Polarity Annihilation Fallen God Curse' to its utmost potential, one needed to directly implant both curse seals into the opponent's body—a feat far from easy to accomplish. The complete novel can be found at https://audio-novel.com.

If this could not be achieved, and Eldrin Chen had to cast the curse solely by channeling his spiritual power from a distance, the technique's potency would be significantly diminished.

Even so, if he could obtain an enemy's essence blood or similar medium to fuel the curse, it was likely that even a Infant Soul Late Stage cultivator would find it impossible to resist. Without superior protective treasures or formidable personal strength, the target would ultimately succumb to a cursed death.

Having successfully created the 'Polarity Annihilation Fallen God Curse', a wave of satisfaction washed over Eldrin Chen.

This curse was not only a potent weapon against powerful foes but also possessed defensive capabilities. Should he ever fall victim to a covert curse attack again in the future, the 'Polarity Annihilation Fallen God Curse' would, to a certain extent, be able to counteract the opponent's sorcery.

The sole drawback is that only a cultivator who has simultaneously cultivated both the True Water [a profound water-based arcane power] and Heavenly Flame [a celestial fire-based arcane power] types of Arcane Power [a unique and potent form of energy manipulation] can master this curse to its ultimate, perfected stage.

With this thought, he cast another inward glance at the divine ability runes of 'Great Deduction Heavenly Art' [a supreme art of cosmic calculation and deduction] and 'Stellar Glazed Body' [a body-forging art that renders the flesh as hard and radiant as glazed stars] within him.

"The Great Deduction Heavenly Art deduces the principles of all things, the Stellar Glazed Body serves as my ultimate defense, and the Polarity Annihilation Fallen God Curse [a curse capable of slaying even fallen deities through the clash of opposing forces] can subdue demons and vanquish evil," he mused.

"Now that my Celestial Mechanism Path [the Path of Heavenly Mechanisms, his core cultivation art] Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power or technique] has reached perfection, can I fuse these three Divine Ability together to create a single, flawless, and world-shaking Divine Ability?"

No sooner thought than done. Having mastered all three of these supreme Great God Ability [a tier of divine abilities of immense power] to their pinnacle, Eldrin Chen found their integration to be a natural and flowing process, guided by his profound comprehension of their intricacies.

After dedicating another decade and more to the endeavor, Eldrin Chen finally succeeded in merging the three Divine Ability into one, forging a Great God Ability that stood at the threshold of the Primordial Solar Grade [a legendary grade of power and technique].

This new Divine Ability combined the strengths of the three supreme Great God Ability, making it a rare Celestial Mechanism [pertaining to the heavenly laws and cosmic workings] Great God Ability even within the vast history of the Purple Seal Realm [a specific realm or world in the cultivation universe].
