Chapter 829. Seed of Life, Demon God's Backup Plan

He did not recognize the final ethereal seed, yet he could sense the vibrant life force brimming within it.

This World Tree holds up the heavens, and it is even said to contain the purest power of the primordial creation within it. Should a cultivator succeed in refining this arcane force, their combat prowess would undoubtedly be elevated to extraordinary heights.

"However, my Pure Yang Flame is peerless in its dominance, the Golden Core Refinement stands supreme among all cultivation methods, and the Primordial Earth's profound depth remains unmatched. Even this World Tree cannot surpass these 3, thus offering me limited assistance."

A thought flashed through Eldrin’s mind, and then he turned his gaze to the second sphere of light. "The World Tree contains the Great Dao of Worlds. Cultivated to its ultimate extent, it can evolve into the boundless universe."

"It encompasses all things, a path that synthesizes the myriad laws of the universe, yet..."

His words paused, then he shook his head and continued, "But this path is far too fragmented. I already command 4 supreme arcane forces simultaneously—my combat prowess has long reached its absolute limit."

"Further pursuing this path would not only consume a great deal of my energy, but it may not even complement the 4 secret forces, nor bring about a qualitative transformation in my strength."

Eldrin had cultivated to her current realm, accumulating a foundation that could be considered profoundly vast. She had gained sufficient insight into her own path of cultivation.

Be it the myriad laws of heaven and earth or the fundamental Great Dao, what has always held true power is not the Dao itself, but the cultivators who master its principles.

Some cultivate the laws of the world, yet remain confined to the realm of Immortals; others hone trivial principles, refining them to perfection before making an ultimate leap to forge an unprecedented Great Dao.

Some possess boundless strength, using the Great Dao of Might to cleave open the primordial chaos of the universe, while others astonish even immortals with their genius, directly deriving the Great Dao to evolve myriad realms amidst the chaos.

Thus, although the Laws and Great Daos differ in strength, every path can lead to enlightenment—how far 1 ultimately travels depends solely on the individual.

Eldrin now cultivated 4 esoteric forces simultaneously and was even on the verge of comprehending a fifth. Yet he understood deeply that only by merging all 5 powers into 1, achieving that ultimate leap, could he lay the foundation for his Great Dao.

If the various energies within me cannot unite as 1, what use is there in comprehending even more arcane forces?

To him, it mattered not whether this secret power was strong or weak—what truly counted was that it did not reject the fusion with the 5 secret forces already within him. If, beyond that, it could complement his own power, then that would be ideal.

With this thought, he turned his gaze to the final source of light, observing the hazy seed. "Just a single seed, yet it contains boundless vitality, as if imbued with an indomitable life force."

"Could this object be ranked alongside divine artifacts such as the World Tree and the Jianmu? Could it be the manifestation of the Primordial Life Dao?"

"In the dawn of all things, vibrant with life, this great Dao evolved amidst the mortal dust, becoming a seed—truly fitting."

Eldrin murmured softly, immediately deciding to contemplate the seed imbued with the power of life.

Among his 4 types of spiritual power, the Pure Yang Fire could be called peerlessly dominant; the Profound Abyssal Water was born of innate Lunar Yin Qi (Spiritual Root), while the Primordial Chaos Gold boasted the world's most refined condensation.

The Primordial Soil of All Things possesses immense profundity and the wondrous ability to nourish all existence, forming a mutually enhancing synergy with this Seed of Life.

Once these 5 esoteric forces were cultivated simultaneously, Eldrin would have a 90-9 percent certainty of merging them into 1, refining them into a supreme strand of magical power.

Moreover, this arcane force contained boundless vitality. Once mastered, Eldrin's (Person Name) lifespan would surge dramatically, and his magic power would be imbued with life energy, granting him unparalleled restorative capabilities.

By then, even if Eldrin's physical body were destroyed, he could rely on this life force to regenerate autonomously, making it exceedingly difficult to eradicate him completely.

If Eldrin were to refine his Primordial Spirit, it would possess a trace of near-indestructible power, making it nearly impossible for ordinary cultivators of the same realm to kill him.

Even a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) expert would find it extremely difficult to eradicate him completely. Unless 1 possessed the power to annihilate him in a single strike, even destroying his physical form would fail to extinguish his primordial spirit.

Even if he were sealed within a 6-rank immortal cauldron and tempered for 10 1000 years with 6-rank primordial spirit true fire, it would likely be impossible to completely refine him.

"A mere wisp of the power of the Great Dao of Life—once this esoteric force is mastered, unless an immortal or demon deity severs me with laws of providence, no 1 in the Nascent Soul realm can ever truly eradicate me."

The more Eldrin contemplated the secret forces of life, the more he grasped their profound mysteries. An uncontrollable ecstasy flickered within his pupils.

After an unknowable span of time, he finally succeeded in comprehending this secret force of life, giving birth to a wisp of primordial life force within him.

From this point onward, he need only continuously convert his magical power, and this Primordial Secret Force would gradually take form.

"It's done!"

A flicker of delight crossed Eldrin's face as he prepared to seize the moment and convert his life force into mana.

Yet in that very instant, the entire Violet Realm trembled faintly, unleashing an aura of incomparable terror.

In that distant and boundless Eastern Sea cultivation world, the Eldrin Heavenly Demon suddenly revealed a look of terror.

"Spare me, Demon Venerable..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kaya Demon’s physical form abruptly exploded, transforming into a mist of black blood.

Then the blood mist instantly coalesced into a blood curse, forming a vicious force of unparalleled malice that tore through the void, shooting straight toward Eldrin (Person Name) who was in secluded cultivation.

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, the Star-Viewing Tower within Eldrin’s body activated automatically to protect its master, radiating a brilliance of unparalleled splendor.

Yet before this blood curse, the Star-Gazing Tower instantly exploded. The Astral Computator of the Great Deduction (Magic Treasure), the Ice Heart Demon-Subduing Mirror, the Stellar Enlightenment Platform, and all the other astral spirit treasures within were instantly pulverized into dust by this force.

Not only that, but after shattering the Star-Gazing Tower, the blood curse continued its relentless trajectory toward Eldrin, aiming to strike him down with a single, fatal blow.

At such a critical moment of life and death, Eldrin decisively halted the continued conversion of life force into mana, immediately forcing the Great Deduction of Yin-Yang Star Dao to its limits in resistance.

But in the blink of an eye, the Great Derivation Yin-Yang Star Dao—capable of resisting soul curses—was torn asunder. The backlash struck Eldrin instantly, blood trickling from the corner of his lips.

"Pfft—"

In an instant, the blood curse struck Eldrin's body, sending him flying through the air, blood spraying from his mouth.

"Hmm? The contingency I left in the Violet Realm has been activated?"

At the same time, far beyond the Violet Realm in the boundless starry sky, a deity-demon that blotted out the heavens opened its eyes.

His eyes gleamed with a cold light. With a casual flick of his fingers, his expression instantly darkened. "I have slain powerful foes with the Immortal-Slaying Blood Curse—even immortals would not dare face it lightly."

"Although this was performed across the boundaries of realms, we did blood-sacrifice a Jiyu Heavenly Demon from the Violet Abyss. How could it fail to eliminate even a Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm)?"

The Extraterrestrial Demon God whispered with an icy expression, then murmured moments later, "Fortunately, we have already shattered his foundation of forging the 5 Elements Primordial Chaos, completely cutting off his path to the Primordial Chaos Dao."
