Chapter 773 : Clash of Primordial Solar Flames

In a single Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time from Buddhist cosmology, less than a second], the two Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure collided. The boundless power of the vast sea intertwined with the Primal Radiance True Flame, creating a momentary stalemate.

Seeing his trump card also failing to gain the upper hand, Primal Radiance the Path Lord's gaze turned slightly cold. "The Sea-Calmer Divine Pearl is indeed Extraordinary, but you are merely a newly ascended Primordial Spirit. What other means do you have to oppose this old man?"

"Golden Crow Spirit-Refining Flame."

As the words of Primal Radiance the Path Lord fell, he once more gathered his Primordial Solar Magical Power to activate a Primordial Solar Divine Ability, manifesting in the void a divine bird bathed in golden flames.

After an Infant Soul True Lord breaks through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, their Innate Great God Ability undergoes a transformation based on its latent potential, with a certain possibility of advancing to the level of a Primordial Solar Great God Ability.

There are three key factors determining whether a cultivator's Innate Divine Ability can ascend to the Primordial Solar level. The first is foundation; the more powerful the Primordial Spirit and the more profound the cultivator's foundation, the greater the chance of the Innate Divine Ability advancing.

The second factor is potency. The greater the depth and power of the Innate Great God Ability, and the loftier its conceptual framework and potential, the higher the likelihood of it reaching the realm of a Primordial Solar Divine Ability.

The final factor is cultivation. If the Innate Divine Ability does not successfully advance during the breakthrough to Primordial Spirit, then the Primordial Spirit Path Lord must expend vast amounts of time in continuous deduction and refinement to eventually elevate it to the Primordial Solar Realm.

Primal Radiance the Path Lord's foundation was merely average among Primordial Spirit cultivators. Upon his ascension to Primordial Spirit, none of his three Innate Great God Ability had advanced.

For the two thousand years after achieving his path, he devoted himself day and night to comprehending and deducing his Innate Divine Ability, only then managing to elevate it to the Primordial Solar Realm. Enjoyed this chapter? Read more at audio-novel.com.

This Divine Ability was named the Golden Crow Spirit-Refining Flame [a divine technique of immense power], the innate Primordial Solar Great God Ability [a supreme technique born from one's very soul] cultivated by Primal Radiance the Path Lord. Its might could incinerate all things; even a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a master who has forged their Primordial Spirit, the spiritual core of a cultivator] would not dare face it head-on.

"A formidable Divine Ability," Sea-Calmer Path Master remarked with calm admiration.

As Primal Radiance the Path Lord unleashed the Golden Crow Spirit-Refining Flame, Sea-Calmer Path Master merely gave a faint sigh of praise. With a flick of his sleeve, he released a stream of deep azure True Water [water imbued with profound spiritual essence], which transformed into a deluge to meet the oncoming flames.

This Divine Ability was one of Sea-Calmer Path Master's Innate Great God Abilities [supreme techniques inherent to one's nature], named the 'Vast Sea Void-Sweeping Water' [a divine water technique of oceanic scale].

This water was boundless and vast; a single drop could expand into an entire ocean, capable of submerging vast stretches of heaven and earth, and scouring away a cultivator's physical body and spiritual soul.

It was said that even a true great power, if struck by this water, would find their flesh, blood, and soul utterly dissolved into nothingness.

Now, as this 'Vast Sea Void-Sweeping Water' cascaded down, it instantly transformed into a sky-obscuring tsunami. It crashed against the Golden Crow Spirit-Refining Flame, its overwhelming force actually dimming the blaze's radiant glory.

"A Primordial Solar Divine Ability [a divine technique of the highest solar order]!"

Primal Radiance the Path Lord's expression shifted dramatically, his heart sinking like a stone.

Only now did he grasp the true difficulty of dealing with Sea-Calmer Path Master. Having just broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, he had already succeeded in advancing his Innate Divine Ability [a divine technique born from one's innate constitution]. Sea-Calmer Path Master was far more formidable than he had ever imagined.

Eldrin Chen, observing from the sidelines, found this outcome entirely reasonable. Before his breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], Sea-Calmer Path Master Varen Wei had already mastered Arcane Power [a profound and esoteric supernatural ability]. Furthermore, his foundation had been tempered by a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a sacred artifact imbued with the pure essence of the primordial sun]. His inherent reserves were naturally beyond comparison to an ordinary Primordial Spirit Cultivator.

With a foundation as solid as his, it was almost a foregone conclusion that upon breaking through to the Primordial Spirit realm, he would be able to leverage the realm's feedback to evolve his innate Dao patterns and advance a single Innate Primordial Solar Divine Ability [a divine power born from one's core, aligned with the primordial sun's essence].

Seeing that Sea-Calmer Path Master Varen Wei and Primal Radiance the Path Lord were locked in a stalemate, the Master of Featherflight Pavilion, standing nearby, spoke with a chilling gaze. "Today marks a joyous occasion for our Three Veins Immortal Alliance. If you withdraw now, there is still time to avoid further conflict."

"If you refuse to leave, do not blame us for resorting to overwhelming numbers."

"With just you?" Primal Radiance the Path Lord retorted, his voice dripping with scorn.

After parrying another assault from Sea-Calmer Path Master Varen Wei, Primal Radiance the Path Lord's eyes turned icy. "While this is somewhat unexpected, the lot of you are still insufficient!"

"BOOM—"

From the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome of the sky], a dazzling stream of sword light descended like a falling star, its edge aimed directly at the gathered cultivators.

The sword's aura surged like a tidal wave, as if a meteor from the Nine Heavens [the highest celestial realms] had been forged into a blade. Its sharpness seemed utterly unstoppable, causing even Sea-Calmer Path Master Varen Wei's expression to shift.

"Now!" he shouted, the command slicing through the tense air.

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted abruptly. Without hesitation, he summoned forth the Heavenly River Positive Water Sword to parry the incoming strike.

Simultaneously, Verdant Consort sprang into action. Her Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword swept forth with overwhelming force, barely managing to deflect that dazzling blow.

Only then did the onlookers clearly see what had arrived. It was an Immortal Sword that blazed with the molten light of Flowing Fire.

"The Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword! It's him!"

The Master of Featherflight Pavilion's expression darkened slightly as he recognized the newcomer's origin.

This Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword was the Lifebound Immortal Sword of Rising Sun Path Lord, its grade having reached the realm of a Mid-Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure. Its power far surpassed that of ordinary Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel.com (official site).

At this realization, many faces turned grave. For a Primordial Spirit Path Lord of this level, where the sword was, the master was also present. Since his Lifebound Immortal Sword had arrived, it was almost certain that Rising Sun Path Lord himself was already here.

This indeed proved true. Rising Sun Path Lord appeared, his long robes flowing, three thousand strands of dark hair bound by a crown as he calmly strode through the air.

"Cleave—"

Without another word, the moment he arrived, Rising Sun Path Lord commanded the Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword to strike again. This time, the blow sent both the Heavenly River Positive Water Sword and the Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword flying back.

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted slightly. This was not only due to the insufficient power of the two sword strikes but also related to the opponent's formidable cultivation base [the foundation of a cultivator's power, derived from their spiritual energy].

With the cultivation base of Rising Sun Path Lord at the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage [the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, where one's spiritual core gains significant power], when he wielded the Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword, it was estimated that even a great power at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit Realm [a cultivator on the verge of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit realm] would be unable to withstand a single clash. That they could rely on the Primordial Solar Immortal Sword to hold their ground was already a remarkable feat.

Seeing the situation turn dire, the Master of Featherflight Pavilion immediately intervened, finally managing to restrain the Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword.

Sensing the Master of Featherflight Pavilion's move, the Rising Sun Path Lord's gaze sharpened slightly. With an expressionless face, he stated coldly, "Featherflight, your path to enlightenment was hard-won. Why seek your own demise?"

"No need for further words."

As the Master of Featherflight Pavilion's voice fell, he unleashed a dazzling sword radiance that shot forth to strike.

The Featherflight Pavilion possessed an ancient legacy. Although it had never produced a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a Path Lord who has reached the Primordial Spirit realm], it still safeguarded a profound Primordial Solar Great God Ability [a supreme divine technique of immense power].

This Divine Ability [a supernatural technique mastered through cultivation] was named the 'Soaring Immortal Feather-Transformation Sword Energy'. The Master of Featherflight Pavilion had regrettably failed to master it while at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit Realm, but after two hundred years since his breakthrough into the Primordial Spirit realm, he had finally grasped this formidable Divine Ability.

"Overestimating your strength."

Seeing the Master of Featherflight Pavilion still intent on attacking, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Rising Sun Path Lord. With a flick of his hand, he summoned forth two more Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts imbued with the essence of the primordial sun].

Of these two Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme treasure forged from the essence of the primordial sun], one was named the 'Rising Sun God Furnace'. This was a Sixth Rank Mid-Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure. This treasure served as an alchemical Treasure Furnace [a specialized furnace for refining pills and artifacts], yet it also possessed formidable offensive and defensive capabilities. It was the ultimate protective treasure of Rising Sun Path Lord.

The other was named the 'Void-Suppressing Vase'. This treasure's grade was merely that of a lower-grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure.

Forged from Void-Suppressing Divine Iron and fused with a Fifth Rank Void Gem, this vase could contain all things between heaven and earth. Even a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator whose spiritual core has ascended to its primordial form] would find it nearly impossible to escape if ensnared within its depths.

"Disaster," the thought struck them.

The Rising Sun Path Lord had already pushed them to their limits with just one Innate Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure. Now, with the unleashing of this second Spiritual Treasure, a sense of immense, palpable danger washed over Zhongran.

Kael Chen and Exquisite Jiang acted in swift succession, channeling the Azure Abyss Sword and the Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword to meet the onslaught. Yet, they were forced into a relentless, step-by-step retreat under the overwhelming pressure.

Just as the situation seemed most dire, the Teleportation Formation [a magical array for instantaneous travel] within the Featherflight Pavilion flared to life. A figure emerged from its shimmering light. This novel is serialized on AUDIO-NOVEL.COM. Visit for updates.
