Chapter 829 : The Seed of Creation's Power

The final, hazy seed was one that Eldrin Chen did not recognize, yet he could keenly sense the vibrant, life-giving energy it contained.

"This Jianmu upholds the heavens. Legends even say its core holds the purest Great Dao Power born from the world's creation. If one were to master such a Secret Power [a profound and esoteric cultivation law], their combat prowess would undoubtedly soar to unimaginable heights."

"However, the Pure Yang Flame I cultivate is peerless in its dominance, the Chaos Gold I refine is supreme among all methods for its consolidating effect, and the Myriad Things Earth I command is matchless in its profound depth. It is unlikely this Jianmu could surpass these three, offering me little additional aid."

As this thought flashed through Eldrin Chen's mind, his gaze shifted to the second luminous orb. "This World Tree contains within it the World Great Dao [the supreme law governing worlds and creation]. Cultivated to its ultimate form, it can evolve into a Great Thousand Universe [a vast, multi-layered cosmos]."

"It encompasses all things, a synthesis of myriad Laws of the Dao into one supreme path. Yet..."

He paused, then shook his head. "Yet this path is far too complex and scattered. I already simultaneously command four supreme Secret Power. My combat strength has essentially reached its current limit."

"To pursue this additional path would not only consume a vast amount of my focus and energy, but it may not even synergize effectively with my four existing Secret Power. It is unlikely to bring about a qualitative transformation in my power."

Having cultivated to his present realm, Eldrin Chen's accumulated Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable base of a cultivator's power] was profoundly vast and deep. He possessed sufficient insight and understanding of his own cultivation journey.

Whether speaking of the myriad laws of heaven and earth or the fundamental Great Dao [the supreme, underlying principles of existence], what is truly powerful is never the Great Dao or the Laws of the Dao themselves, but rather the cultivator who masters them.

Some cultivate the Laws of the Dao of worlds, yet halt at the Immortal realm. Others cultivate seemingly insignificant Laws of the Dao, yet refine them to their absolute limit, ultimately making the final leap to forge a Great Dao unprecedented in all of history.

Some possess strength of such magnitude that they cleave the primordial cosmos with the Great Dao of Might, while others, with talent that startles the heavens, directly evolve the Great Dao within the Primordial Chaos to give birth to the Great Thousand Universe.

Thus, while the Laws of the Dao and the Great Dao may differ in potency, each and every Great Dao holds the potential for enlightenment. The ultimate distance one can traverse depends on the individual.

Eldrin Chen now cultivates four distinct Secret Power [profound and unique forces derived from the fundamental laws of reality] simultaneously and stands at the very threshold of comprehending a fifth. Yet, he understands deeply that only by fusing these five Secret Power into a singular, unified whole, achieving that ultimate leap, will he lay the true foundation for his own Great Dao.

If the various forces within myself cannot be woven into a single, unbreakable cord, what use is it to comprehend any more Secret Power?

For him, whether a particular Secret Power is considered strong or weak is irrelevant. What matters is that it does not reject fusion with the other four Secret Power. Beyond that, if it can complement his existing Secret Power, that would be ideal.

With this thought, he turned his gaze to the final source of light—a hazy, indistinct seed. "Merely a seed," he mused, "yet it contains boundless vitality, as if harboring an indomitable force of life."

"For this object to be ranked alongside divine entities like the World Tree and the Jianmu, could it be a manifestation of the innate Life Great Dao?"

"At the dawn of all things, life flourishes. For such a Great Dao to manifest within the mortal realm as a seed is indeed fitting."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself and immediately resolved to contemplate this seed imbued with the power of life.

Among his current four types of Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated by practitioners], the Pure Yang Flame is peerless in its domineering might. The Profound Nether Water is born from innate Lunar Yin Qi [the pure, cold, feminine essence of the moon]. The Chaos Gold possesses a density and purity unmatched under heaven.

The Myriad Things Earth [the divine ability of nurturing all things] is profoundly solid and possesses the wondrous mystery of nurturing all living beings, making it perfectly complementary to this Seed of Life [a primordial seed containing the essence of life itself].

Once these five Secret Power [unique and profound powers derived from fundamental cosmic principles] are successfully cultivated in unison, Eldrin Chen would have a ninety-nine percent certainty of fusing the five forces into one, condensing them into a supreme Mana [the refined spiritual energy wielded by cultivators].

Moreover, this Secret Power contains boundless vitality. Once mastered, Eldrin Chen's lifespan would surge dramatically. Furthermore, the Mana would be imbued with life energy, granting him unparalleled regenerative capabilities.

At that point, even if Eldrin Chen's physical body were destroyed, he could rely on this life force to repair himself, becoming exceedingly difficult to kill permanently.

If Eldrin Chen were to refine his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and true essence of a high-level cultivator], that Primordial Spirit would also possess a trace of near-indestructible power. Ordinary cultivators of the same realm would find it almost impossible to kill Eldrin Chen.

Even a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage [the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm] powerhouse would find it difficult to slay him, for unless they possessed the power to utterly annihilate him in a single blow, destroying his physical body would not be enough to extinguish his Primordial Spirit.

Even sealing him within a Sixth Rank [a rank denoting immense power, often for artifacts or beings] immortal furnace and refining him for ten thousand years with Sixth RankPrimordial SpiritTrue Flame [a pure, potent flame used in alchemy and cultivation] would likely fail to completely refine him.

"A mere sliver of the Life Great Dao [the supreme principle and path governing life itself]. Once this Secret Power is mastered, unless an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] or a Demon God [a powerful demonic deity] uses the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental cosmic laws] to sever me, no one in the Primordial Spirit Realm [the cultivation realm of the Primordial Spirit] will be able to completely destroy me."

The more Eldrin Chen contemplated the Life Arcane Power [the profound and mysterious power of life], the more he understood the profound mysteries of this Secret Power, and a look of ecstatic joy dawned in his pupils.

After an unknowable length of time, he finally succeeded in comprehending the Life Arcane Power, and within his body, a wisp of primordial Life Magical Power [magical power derived from the essence of life] was born.

From this point onward, all he needed to do was continuously convert his Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated by practitioners]; this primordial Secret Power [a profound and unique foundational power] would then take its final form.

"It is done!"

Eldrin Chen's face lit up with joy, and he prepared to seize the moment to convert his Life Magical Power [a divine ability drawing upon the essence of life itself].

Yet, in that very instant, the entire Purple Realm [a mystical cultivation dimension] trembled faintly, unleashing an aura of utterly terrifying power.

In the distant, vast expanse of the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, Jiayu Heavenly Demon [a powerful demonic entity] suddenly wore an expression of sheer terror.

"Demon Venerable, spare—" Find this and other novels at (audio-novel.com).

Before he could finish his plea, Jiayu Heavenly Demon's physical body abruptly exploded, transforming into a cloud of blackish blood mist.

Immediately, that blood mist coalesced into a Blood Curse [a malevolent spell fueled by life essence], forming a venomous force of unparalleled malice that tore through the void, striking directly at Eldrin Chen, who was in secluded cultivation.

"BOOM—"

In the blink of an eye, the Star-Gazing Tower [a mystical pagoda artifact] within Eldrin Chen's body activated autonomously to protect its master, erupting with a radiance of dazzling brilliance.

Yet, before this Blood Curse [a devastating curse fueled by blood sacrifice], the Star-Gazing Tower [a mystical tower for celestial observation] instantly exploded. The Astral Computator of the Great Deduction [a device for complex celestial calculations], the Icy Heart Demon-Subduing Mirror [a mirror that pacifies demons with frost energy], the Stellar Enlightenment Platform [a platform for stellar cultivation insights], and all the various stellar Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts of a spiritual grade] contained within were pulverized into dust by this force.

Not only that, after shattering the Star-Gazing Tower, the Blood Curse continued its relentless assault, its remaining power slashing towards Eldrin Chen with the intent to kill him in a single strike.

At this life-or-death moment, Eldrin Chen decisively halted his ongoing transformation of Life Magical Power [a divine ability that converts life force into magical power]. He immediately and forcefully activated the Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao [a supreme defensive technique of stellar and dualistic energies] to resist.

Yet, in the span of a single breath, the Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao, potent enough to withstand Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core realm of a cultivator] level curses, was torn asunder. Eldrin Chen was instantly struck by a backlash, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"*Cough*—"

In that instant, the Blood Curse slammed into Eldrin Chen's body, sending him flying through the air, blood spraying from his wounds.

"Hmm? The contingency I left in the Purple Realm [a vast and profound cultivation world] has been triggered?"

Simultaneously, far beyond the Purple Realm, within the Boundless Starry Sky [the infinite cosmos], a deity-demon whose form blotted out the heavens and the earth opened its eyes.

Its gaze was icy cold. With a casual gesture, it performed a divination, and its expression instantly darkened. "I used the Immortal-Slaying Blood Curse [a supreme curse capable of slaying even immortals] to eliminate a powerful foe. Even an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] would not dare to face it lightly."

"Although this was cast across the barrier of a Great Realm, I sacrificed a Jiayu Heavenly Demon [a powerful demon race] residing within the Purple Realm. How could it fail to kill even a mere Half-Step Primordial Spirit [a cultivator on the verge of the Primordial Spirit realm]?"

With a frigid expression, the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this world] muttered under his breath. After a moment, he whispered to himself once more, "Fortunately, we have already shattered the foundation for his cultivation of the Five Elements Primordial Chaos [a supreme cultivation art based on the primordial chaos of the five elements]. This should have completely severed his path toward the Primordial Chaos Path [the ultimate Dao of returning to and mastering primordial chaos]." Access the full story on (audio-novel.com).
