Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 1112: Great Destruction (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

“I’m only here to explore the periphery of the Chaotic Ruins, so I’m not with the other Dao Lords. Daoist Li Guang, Daoist Chen Jing, are you going to explore the depths or have you just come out of the Chaotic Ruins?” Shen Ping asked casually.

Dao Lord Li Guang chuckled and said, “The two of us are preparing to go to the inner region of the Chaotic Ruins to explore and see if we can try our luck to obtain one or two Primordial Chaos treasures. If we have a Primordial Chaos treasure to protect ourselves, we won’t have to worry. By the way, I heard that you obtained the legacy of the master of the Realm Sea Peak and became a Dao Lord in a remote place like the Skyflame Realm. You’re really lucky.”

Dao Lord Chen Jing also said, “That’s right. The master of the Realm Sea Peak is a third-step Almighty. Not to mention the inheritance he left behind, just the Realm Sea Peak has made many Dao Lords envious!”

Shen Ping hurriedly said humbly, “I’m purely lucky. I can’t compare to the strength of the two of you, especially Daoist Li Guang. You have already reached the second step of the Dao Lord Realm. I think you’re not far from the third step!”

Dao Lord Li Guang was very pleased. After all, he was praised by a fellow Dao Lord. Dao Lord Chen Jing said, “Daoist Dao Yan, since we meet outside the Chaotic Ruins, it can be considered fate. Why don’t we have a few drinks?”

Shen Ping said readily, “How can I not accept your invitation?”

After saying that, the three of them arrived at a distant boulder. These boulders are wider than mountains. Even if Shen Ping revealed his Dao Body that was more than a million kilometers long, he was just a small thing compared to the huge rocks. The entire Chaotic Ruins was incomparably vast, so the huge rocks here were naturally huge.

They chose a mountain peak and sat down. A stone table appeared in front of him. There were also three cups of wine on the stone table. Dao Lord Li Guang took out a gourd filled with fine wine and filled three cups. Every cup was filled with the fragrance of wine.

They have drinks. Shen Ping asked, “The two of you should have explored the Chaotic Ruins many times, right?”

Dao Lord Chen Jing nodded. “Yes, quite. I can’t even remember clearly. In the third Dao era after I’ve broken through, I’ve come to the Chaotic Ruins to roam. It’s been almost 5,000 Dao eras since then.”

Dao Lord Li Guang lamented, “I’ve been here for more than 10,000 Dao eras.”

A Dao era is 100 million years. These two dao lords really had a long history. However, this was also the current situation of the Endless Region. Most Dao Lords relied on the accumulation of time to slowly increase their strength. A small number of them encountered great opportunities and could step into the second step within hundreds of Dao eras. But there were very few who stepped into the third step.

For example, the master of Realm Sea Peak was considered the most dazzling person in this era. However, he had also spent more than 1,000 eras to become a third step giant. Dao Lord Li Guang continued, “Unfortunately, roaming the Chaotic Ruins requires not only strength, but also luck. I’ve roamed for more than 10,000 Dao eras and have obtained many rare treasures, but there’s only one Primordial Chaos Treasure.”

Dao Lord Chen Jing glanced at Li Guang. “You’re still considered good. At the very least, you have a Primordial Chaos treasure like a treasure armor. You’re not like me, who had an offensive treasure.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping could not help but ask curiously, “This Primordial Chaos Treasure should have many functions, right?”

The Realm Sea Peak and the Primordial Chaos Ring had many functions. The main thing that stood out was in terms of suppression and protection of true spirits. For example, Realm Sea Peak could also be used as an offensive weapon to smash or stab. It was the same for the Chaos Ring. It could even be turned into a binding type. But it’s weak in all these respects.

Dao Lord Li Guang explained, “Although the Primordial Chaos Treasure does have many functions, it is only useful to those below Dao Lords. For us, the most precious type of treasures are still palace-type or domain-type.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Dao Lord Chen Jing nodded. “Do you know why the five magnates can stand tall in the endless Dao era? It’s because every faction has a palace-type Primordial Chaos Treasure. Such a supreme treasure can successfully survive even when the Chaotic Calamity arrives.”

“Chaotic Calamity?”

“I almost forgot. Dao Yan just became a Dao Lord, so he doesn’t know about this yet.” Dao Lord Chen Jing continued, “The so-called Chaotic Calamity is mainly a huge destruction of the endless world. This destruction bursts from the dark void of the Chaotic Ruins and lastly spreads throughout the entire endless world. It will turn all realms, including countless living beings, into nothingness. Only those who have comprehended more than 60% of the Great Dao Origin can successfully cross it with a palace-type Primordial Chaos Treasure. Currently, only the five magnates in the Endless Region have experienced several chaotic calamities. This is also a calamity for all of us Dao Lords.”

Dao Lord Li Guang sighed. “Although Dao Lords can live forever, it’s not true eternal life. That’s why many Dao Lords keep coming to the Chaotic Ruins to break through the shackles and become Primordial Chaos Realm. Only then can they truly live forever.”

Shen Ping was silent for a moment, “How often does the Chaos Calamity happen?”

“100,000 Dao eras.”

“That’s a long time.”

“100,000 Dao eras may seem like a long time, but it’s very short for us Dao Lords. I only stepped into the second step after experiencing tens of thousands of Dao eras. It’s very difficult to advance to the third step even after tens of thousands of Dao eras. Even if I reach the third step, I have to rely on a palace-type Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasure.”

The advancement of a dao lord was very slow. Even if he could survive one Chaos Calamity, as long as he did not take the last step and reach the Primordial Chaos Realm the next time, the effects of this calamity would become stronger and stronger. This was equivalent to the Three Calamities and Nine Disasters.

Therefore, the longer one lived, the crazier one would be. Especially when the Chaotic Calamity was about to arrive, the entire endless world would go crazy.
