Chapter 1319 : Life and Death Rescue

Millions of treasure ships and billions of demonic creatures continued their relentless assault on the grand formation. Earth Immortals like the Frigid Frost Chi, the 5-Clawed Golden Dragon, and Patriarch Yan Ao likewise unleashed their attacks without cease.

Even the master of 1000 Dragon Lake and the Heavenly Prison Flame Lord had already joined the fray, relentlessly assaulting the Greenriver Ancient Sect’s grand formation in an attempt to completely shatter this defensive array.

"We can't hold on much longer."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his gaze fixed upon a majestic ancient vessel.

It was an ancient ship of immense proportions, its entire structure forged from divine metal and sacred wood, with 3 pitch-black cannons mounted on its deck.

These 3 colossal cannons were truly extraordinary, each spanning a full million miles in length. Forged entirely of dark gold, they exuded a terrifying and overwhelming aura of slaughter.

Such a world-destroying cannon represented the foundation of 1000 Dragon Lake, and the amount of Mystic Gold Treasure Material consumed by each cannon was astronomical.

To forge these 3 Annihilation Divine Cannons, the 1000 Dragon Lake spent tens of millions of years and exhausted the profound gold deposits of dozens of major worlds just to gather the necessary materials, a testament to their immeasurable value.

Such immense expenditure naturally forged a cannon of astonishing power, said to be revered as the World-Annihilating Cannon, capable of obliterating an entire Earth Immortal realm with a single strike.

Eldrin had seen it clearly moments before—each blast from those 3 colossal cannons was comparable to a strike from a late-stage Earth Immortal. The threat they posed to the Greenriver Ancient Sect’s mountain-protecting grand formation even surpassed that of the 1000 Dragons Lake Lord and the Flamedread Prison Sovereign.

"Ancient Ark of Creation, Annihilating Cannon of Apocalypse."

"Such a colossal cannon, if left intact, I fear even the Cosmic Star Formation Array would be unable to withstand it."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his eyes flickering with a trace of gravity.

His heart stirred slightly, and he immediately activated the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to conceal his presence, silently darting toward the Heaven-Splitting Ancient Vessel.

At this moment, both sides were locked in intense combat, their attention wholly fixed upon the Qingchuan Ancient Sect's crumbling Mountain Protection Array.

Amidst the boundless energy fluctuations unleashed by the great battle, even the 2 late-stage Earth Immortals—masters of 1000 Dragons Lake—failed to perceive that Eldrin (Person Name) had already drawn near the Heaven-Sundering Ancient Vessel.

They never could have imagined that even while aboard the Primordial Heaven-Opening Ark, someone would dare approach the sacred vessel right under their very noses.

We're here!

Soon, Eldrin arrived beside the Primordial World-Splitting Ark. At this moment, if he were to launch a sudden assault, he had at least a 90 percent certainty of dealing a crippling blow to this ancient vessel with a single strike.

However, Eldrin did not make a move. The mountain-protecting formation of the Azure Stream Ancient Sect was already on the verge of collapse.

The entire reserve of spirit veins, spirit stones, and immortal sources of the Qingchuan Ancient Sect had been depleted. Even if he were to destroy this Heaven-Splitting Ancient Vessel, the Qingchuan Ancient Sect would still be unable to withstand the assaults of the Master of 1000 Dragon Lake and the Blaze Lord of Heavenly Prison.

At this moment, making a move would surely alert the master of the 1000 Dragons Lake and the Flame Lord of the Celestial Prison, causing him to miss the opportunity to rescue the several Earth Immortals of the Qingchuan Ancient Sect.

So Eldrin waited, biding his time for the perfect moment to strike. 1 whole sexagenary cycle had passed in his vigil.

Until 1 jiazi later, when the World-Annihilating Cannon fired a sudden blast, the mountain-protecting formation that the Azurestream Ancient Sect had maintained for tens of millions of years could ultimately hold no longer, shattered by that earth-shattering strike.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Azure River Blessed Land quaked violently, the immortal isle spanning hundreds of millions of miles was shattered, and countless fissures tore through the entire celestial island.

Within the vast Qingchuan Ancient Sect, over 30 percent of the surviving low-level cultivators perished under this single strike.

"Ah... All of you deserve to die!"

Suddenly, an anguished roar of utmost sorrow erupted from within the Cyanstream Ancient Sect.

The Lord of the Azure River Sect charged forth with grief and fury, wielding the sect’s ultimate treasure, the Azure River Ancient Sword, to sweep across all directions. He sought to carve a path of escape with this supreme-grade Heaven-Cleaving Treasure.

In an instant, the sword aura swept across the celestial river between heaven and earth. Demonic immortals spilled their blood, and hordes of monsters fell like rain—countless demon tribes perished beneath this single strike.

"A mere high-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure dares to defy the natural order?!" "Is this the final legacy of the Azure River Ancient Sect?"

Upon the Heaven-Splitting Ancient Ark, the Heaven Prison Flame Lord thrust with the Heaven Prison War Halberd, blocking the path of the Greenriver Ancient Sect's master.

The Lord of 1000 Dragon Lake let out a cold sneer upon seeing this. He immediately charged forth from the ancient vessel, summoning a treasure vase shimmering with the radiance of Yin-Yang and life-and-death, intent on cutting off the retreat of the Greenstream Ancient Sect’s master.

"Now."

In that very instant, Eldrin seized the opportunity, violently activating the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand to tear open the defensive formation of the Heaven-Splitting Ancient Vessel, critically damaging its hull.

Then, the light of the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) shifted imperceptibly, instantly drawing the 3 Annihilation Cannons (Magic Treasure) into its grasp.

The master of 1000 Dragon Lake was taken aback upon hearing the noise.

He turned back to look, only to find that their sole Heaven-Splitting Ancient Vessel was half-destroyed, and the 3 priceless World-Annihilating Cannons had already been collected by Eldrin (Person Name).

Ancient Vessel of a 1000 Dragons

"Ah, vile fiend, how dare you!"

The Lord of 1000 Dragon Lake let out a shocked cry and struck at Eldrin with a bitter, vengeful blow, but alas, it was already too late.

But then Eldrin expanded his Primordial Chaos True Aura, blocking the strike before charging toward the nearest Earth Immortal of the Azure River Ancient Sect.

"Reinforcements are here!"

In the blink of an eye, the Earth Immortal elders of the Azure River Ancient Sect exchanged a tacit glance. Their eyes fell upon the Yin-Yang Void Mirror hovering above Eldrin’s head, and without a word, they moved in unison to strike him down.

The closest figure was the Second Supreme Elder of the Azurestream Ancient Sect. In but an instant, the 2 had converged, catching the forces of 1000 Dragon Lake completely off guard.

Seeing that there was still time, Eldrin immediately summoned the Primordial Chaos True Aura to its full extent to block the attacks from the crowd, swiftly reaching the Third Supreme Elder of the Azure River Ancient Sect.

"Ah, damn it!"

Watching Eldrin join forces with 2 Earth Immortal patriarchs in quick succession, the master of 1000 Dragons Lake grew visibly anxious and began attacking with his divine abilities at any cost.

Alas, the Primordial Chaos True Aura proved worthy of its reputation as an arcane and supreme divine ability. Driven by Eldrin's (Person Name) rule-based power comparable to that of an Earth Immortal's late stage, even the master of 1000 Dragon Lake found it difficult to breach its defenses in a short time.

Moreover, the 2 Earth Immortals from the Qingchuan Ancient Sect continued to strike, sharing the pressure for Eldrin. For a time, Eldrin actually managed to stabilize the situation.

Clang!

In that fleeting moment, the master of the Azure Stream Sect finally seized the opportunity. With their sect-guarding treasure, the Azure Stream Ancient Sword (Magic Treasure), they cleaved through the assembled heroes and converged with Eldrin (Person Name).

"Fellow Daoist, I beseech you to take action and deliver my disciple Qingxuan!"

The master of the Ancient Azure Stream Sect spoke urgently while channeling energy into the Ancient Azure Stream Sword to withstand the encircling assaults. "Eldrin," he pleaded, "I beg you to extend an invitation to Elder Xuan Dao."

Eldrin (Person Name) understood clearly—the Elder Daoist Qingxuan was an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal from the Ancient Azure Stream Sect who had lived for nearly 8 million years, and he represented the future hope of the Azure Stream Sect.

Unfortunately, Elder Qingxuan had been designated as the final hope of the Ancient Greenwood Sect, positioned furthest from the frontlines to ensure his escape. Now, this very arrangement placed him farthest from the rest of the group.

Regardless, with such a formidable combatant at his disposal, Eldrin had no reason to abandon this opportunity. He immediately charged deeper into the heart of the Qingchuan Ancient Sect.

But at this moment, the demon clan reacted. The masters of 1000 Dragon Lake, the Infernal Prison Flame Lord, the Frigid Abyss Ice Serpent, Patriarch Yan Ao, and the Golden-Scaled 5-Clawed Dragon Ancestor—all Earth Immortals—simultaneously struck, intent on utterly annihilating the group.

Faced with attacks from so many, even with the aid of 3 Earth Immortal Elders, Eldrin felt the Primordial Chaos Unifying Qi True Aura teetering on the brink of collapse.
