Chapter 900 : Forging Primordial Chaos

Having grasped his own predicament, Eldrin Chen immediately resolved to attempt the refinement of Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi [the primordial mother-energy from which all other energies are born].

This Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi is the progenitor of all energies under heaven, its profound applications and mysteries ranking among the pinnacle of the mortal realm. To artificially refine it was naturally an endeavor of immense difficulty.

Even with Eldrin Chen's current Mana [a cultivation realm representing immense spiritual power and comprehension], he held no certainty of success in its creation.

Fortunately, the Immortal Refining Flame [a divine flame capable of refining even immortal substances] contained within the Demon-Slaying Crucible was now astonishingly potent, its power rivaling that of a Demigod Ancestor who had comprehended an illusory Flame Law.

As the surging Immortal Refining Flame poured down, it gradually began to refine and fuse the five types of Pure Yang Mother Qi [pure yang foundational energies] within Eldrin Chen's body.

Thus, another Jiazi-time [a cycle of sixty years] slipped by. On this day, Eldrin Chen opened his eyes. Sensing a swirling mass of energy within him, shimmering with five-colored radiance, a brilliant light flashed in his gaze.

"Success!"

Eldrin Chen was overjoyed. With the aid of the Immortal Refining Flame, he had succeeded in refining the Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi.

With this crucial catalyst in hand, he now possessed absolute confidence in cultivating his Primordial Chaos True Qi [a supreme energy of primordial chaos] to its grand perfection.

Suppressing the elation in his heart, he swiftly began to calm and assimilate the Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi, gradually drawing his Mana back into the Creation Azure Lotus Platform [a mystical platform for cultivation and enlightenment]. He feigned the appearance of one whose spiritual power had been greatly depleted. Dive deeper into the Dao at audio-novel dot com.

"Everyone, press on with greater effort. That whelp Eldrin, the Abyss is nearly drained of his Mana [the spiritual energy used to fuel magical arts]."

"If we persist for just a few more days, we are certain to refine him into a mere pile of tribulation ashes."

Perceiving that Eldrin Chen's Mana [the spiritual energy used to fuel magical arts] was growing ever more feeble, the gathered Demonic Cultivator [practitioners who use malevolent and corrupt methods to gain power] revealed expressions of manic delight.

At the command of Netherdeep Demon Venerable, they began to frantically intensify their output of Mana [the spiritual energy used to fuel magical arts], aiming to muster their strength in one final push to utterly refine Eldrin Chen into tribulation ashes.

Within the conflagration, Eldrin Chen, trapped amidst the Immortal Refining Flame [a legendary divine flame said to be capable of refining even immortals], felt his heart swell with increasing joy.

These Immortal Refining Flame [a legendary divine flame said to be capable of refining even immortals] were potent enough to melt a Demi-Immortal [a cultivator who has transcended mortality but not yet achieved full immortality], yet they struggled to truly extinguish him. As the saying goes, what does not kill you only makes you stronger.

The combined efforts of several dozen Heaven-Demon [powerful demons of celestial origin] channeling their Daoist arts to refine him were, in fact, silently assisting Eldrin Chen in condensing his Mana [the spiritual energy used to fuel magical arts]. It was like a blazing forge tempering true gold, relentlessly honing his physical body.

Thus, time flowed swiftly by, and in what seemed like a blink, another full Jiazi-time [one Jiazi-time equals sixty years] had passed.

On this day, Eldrin Chen finally succeeded in completely refining the Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi [the primordial breath of creation from which all things originated], bringing his Primordial Chaos True Qi [a supreme divine ability manifesting the pure power of primordial chaos] to a state of Great Perfection.

"With this Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power or technique] reaching the Great Vehicle [the highest stage of mastery for a divine ability], once I break through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage [the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, where one's spiritual core is fully formed], I shall be truly invincible within the Primordial Spirit Realm [the cultivation realm focused on nurturing one's primordial spiritual core]!"

Sensing the Primordial Chaos True Qi [the foundational chaotic energy of creation] circulating within him, Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, a tempest of battle intent flashing in his eyes.

Having advanced, the power of this Primordial Chaos True Qi now rivaled that of the legendary Immortal Rank Divine Abilities [divine powers of celestial grade]. Both the 'Primordial True Aegis' [the Primal Shield of Truth] and the 'Chaos Grasping Hand' [the Hand that Seizes Chaos] had transcended the mortal plane's limits.

Coupled with the 'Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder' [the Supreme Thunder of the Five Elements and Pure Yang], Eldrin Chen now possessed nearly three ultimate techniques whose might was comparable to Immortal Rank Divine Abilities.

True Immortal Rank Divine Abilities involve the power of the legendary Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality]. They can only be mastered after one has comprehended these Laws of the Dao or after Cultivating Dao Fruit [attaining the Fruit of the Dao, a supreme cultivation achievement].

Within the current Purple Realm, those few Demigod Ancestor [cultivators at the Demi-Immortal stage] have only grasped Illusory Law [illusory, incomplete facets of the true Laws]. Even if their sects possessed legacies of Immortal Rank Divine Abilities, it would be impossible for them to achieve complete mastery.

They could only use the power of Illusory Law to comprehend mere fragments, a far cry from the world-shaking potency of Eldrin Chen's Lifebound Divine Ability [a divine ability intrinsically bound to one's life and cultivation].

Now, wielding these three Divine Ability [powerful supernatural techniques] and possessing a physical body cultivated to Nascent Soul Great Perfection, Eldrin Chen estimated his combat power had surpassed that of most Ninth Layer Nascent Soul cultivators, placing him on par with the Netherdeep Demon Venerable [a title for a powerful demonic cultivator], who had also dual-cultivated body and Mana [the spiritual energy used for cultivation and magic].

Furthermore, if Eldrin Chen were to break through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage, his reservoir of Mana would be sufficient to rival a Ninth Layer Nascent Soul cultivator.

At that point, augmented by these three heaven-and-earth-shaking Immortal Rank Divine Abilities, he would face no equal within the Primordial Spirit Realm. Even if a Demigod Ancestor were to appear, they might not necessarily emerge victorious against him.

"If I were to make my breakthrough now," he mused, "my Mana would surge by at least half. Channeling that into my Divine Ability would bring about a transformation in power as profound as heaven overturning earth."

"Not quite a Demi-Immortal, yet surpassing one."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, but then quickly shook his head.

If he were to break through now, his combat power would indeed shake heaven and earth, and he would be confident of escaping the confines of the Demon-Slaying Crucible.

However, with the Demon-Slaying Crucible restraining him, even if Eldrin Chen managed to break free, he feared he would not have enough time to slay Netherdeep Demon Venerable.

This demon's combat prowess was nearly unrivaled within the Ninth Layer Nascent Soul realm. Even Tianqi the Dao Lord could only barely hold his own against him. Apart from Eldrin Chen, likely no one else had the certainty to end him.

Furthermore, if allowed to flee, he would pose a significant future threat. Find this and other novels at (audio-novel.com).

With this thought, Eldrin Chen suppressed the desire to break through and shatter the furnace from within. Instead, he reined in his killing intent and feigned a gradual weakening of his Mana [the spiritual energy used to power magical arts].

Witnessing Eldrin Chen's aura grow fainter and fainter, Netherdeep Demon Venerable could not help but exclaim with glee, "You wretched child, Eldrin, the Abyss! What does it matter if your flesh is imperishable or your Mana [the spiritual energy used to power magical arts] is vast as the sea?"

"Beneath the power of this Demon-Slaying Crucible, even true Immortals and Demons would have to retreat. It will surely refine you into ashes of the heavenly tribulation!"

As his words fell, Netherdeep Demon Venerable immediately began channeling the Treasure Furnace [a powerful artifact furnace used for refining and forging], heedless of the immense drain on his Mana [the spiritual energy used to power magical arts].

Within that Treasure Furnace [a legendary artifact capable of refining and forging supreme treasures], a dazzling, resplendent light erupted, manifesting countless billions of fragmented flames of Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles that govern reality and cultivation]. These flames surged towards Eldrin Chen, seeking to refine him into nothing but ashes of the heavenly tribulation.

Faced with such overwhelmingly potent flames of Laws of the Dao, Eldrin Chen could only muster every ounce of his cultivation power to resist, putting on a convincing display of a desperate, arduous struggle.

Thus, time flowed swiftly by, and in the blink of an eye, several decades had passed.

Time accelerated its relentless march, and the appointed span of two hundred years vanished as swiftly as a fleeting dream.

Having been suppressed within the Demon-Refining Furnace for two full centuries, the various powers of the Purple Realm [a vast and powerful cultivation realm] gathered as promised beyond the borders of the Star Archipelago [a celestial chain of islands].

This assembly was not merely the few dozen Nascent Soul Dao Lord [powerful cultivators who have formed their Nascent Soul and comprehended profound Dao principles] from two centuries prior. It now included many Primordial Spirit [cultivators who have ascended beyond the Nascent Soul realm, condensing their spiritual essence into a Primordial Spirit] who had recently emerged from their secluded cultivation.

Among their ranks were two supreme beings at the Ninth Layer Nascent Soul [the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul realm, one step from Primordial Spirit]: Lin Tianqi, the Sword Saint of the Eastern Wastes and the Lord of the Separated Flame Hall.

The combined number of Primordial Spirit from the human and demon races now exceeded sixty individuals. Though this still fell short of the realm's former zenith of power, it signified that the Purple Realm had recovered more than half of its former strength.

"For your righteous intervention in this battle, esteemed Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for fellow cultivators], this humble one offers her deepest gratitude on behalf of my Husband,"

Verdant Consort spoke from amidst the gathered crowd, her gaze sweeping over the assembly before she offered a slight, graceful bow.

Upon hearing this, everyone returned the courtesy. The Lord of the Separated Flame Hall smiled faintly and said, "Eradicating the Heaven-Demon [a powerful celestial demon] is our duty. You are too courteous, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator]."

"Enough, no need for further pleasantries."

Clad in black robes and holding his longsword, Lin Tianqi, the Sword Saint of the Eastern Wastes arrived, his expression calm as he gazed towards the Cosmic Star Archipelago. "With Eldrin, the Abyss's fate unknown, we cannot afford to delay any longer."

The assembled Dao Lord [a title for a supreme master of the Dao] all nodded in agreement. The Demon-Subduing Divine Monk examined the Heaven-Demon Grand Formation [a grand defensive array of immense power] and asked, "This formation possesses extraordinary might. Do you have confidence in breaching it, Fellow Daoist?"

"No."

Lin Tianqi shook his head. This formation was woven with the combined strength of the entire Demon Race, with the Demon-Slaying Crucible [a legendary artifact of immense power] serving as its Formation Eye [the core and most critical node of a formation]. Not even a Demigod Ancestor [a cultivator who has transcended the Nascent Soul realm, approaching immortality] could be certain of breaking it.

Although his offensive prowess was unparalleled among Primordial Spirit [Nascent Soul] cultivators, he dared not claim to rival a Demigod Ancestor.

Seeing his uncertainty, Haoyuan the Dao Lord nodded and spoke, "In that case, leave this task to us elders."

With those words, Haoyuan the Dao Lord immediately stepped forward. Read the full novel exclusively on audio . novel . com.
