Chapter 1435 : 10 Demon Weapons
With these words, he immediately began setting up the formation.
This blessed land was saturated with Golden Fiendish Qi, making it exceedingly difficult to set up ordinary formations within.
The group gathered materials on the spot, using the metal-attributed mineral veins within the blessed land as a foundation to forge 30-6 immortal treasures. With these treasures serving as formation anchors, supplemented by the Infernal Prison War Halberd, Eldrin set up a rudimentary formation.
With the protection of the formation, everyone immediately felt much safer.
Seeing this, the crowd continued mining the spiritual veins and refining various immortal treasures and formation artifacts, preparing to deploy them into the blessed land as groundwork for its complete refinement.
Only Seraphina Qu did not intervene in these affairs. Having now gathered the final Primal Desolate Spirit Inner Pill, her most pressing task was to advance the 7 Severings Soul-Slaying Sword.
Thus time flowed on, and 3 1000 years passed in the blink of an eye.
Before Eldrin and his companions had even finished forging their immortal treasures and array artifacts, Seraphina Qu had already succeeded in crafting the 7 Annihilations Soul-Severing Sword.
After forging the 7 Severities Spirit-Slaying Sword, Seraphina Qu's power experienced a monumental surge, elevating her combat prowess beyond that of Cyan Princess and reaching heights comparable to a seventh-tier Earth Immortal.
"This 7 Severities Soul-Severing Sword is truly extraordinary."
Noticing the change in Seraphina Qu's (Person Name) power level, Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but feel astonished.
Among his several dao companions, Lyra had opened 12 heavenly layers. Though her current cultivation was merely at the Second Heavenly Layer of Earth Immortal realm, she could contend against experts at the Seventh Heavenly Layer—such talent could truly be called heaven-defying. Qing Ji had opened 10 heavenly layers, also stepping into the forbidden domain. Her strength was sufficient to suppress 2 Sixth Heavenly Layer Earth Immortals simultaneously, yet even this only allowed her to rival about 2-thirds of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Earth Immortal’s power.
Seraphina Qu had only unlocked the 9 Heavenly Layers, and before forging the 7 Extinctions Soul-Severing Sword, her combat prowess was virtually on par with that of Aoi-hime.
Now she had advanced even further, mastering the 7 Extremes Spirit-Severing Sword, her power fully stepping into the Earth Immortal 7th Layer realm.
Because Seraphina Qu's innate divine ability, '9-Colored Immortal Light', was a supremely profound and peerless power of the Mysterious Tier. It was said that in its complete form, it could even rival the divine abilities of a Sect Master.
With the 9-Colored Immortal Light and the 7 Severings Soul-Slaying Sword, supplemented by her protective supreme treasure, the Weihai Heavenly Pearl, Seraphina Qu's combat prowess and techniques were now on par with a seventh-level Earth Immortal. Her only notable shortcoming lay in her slightly inferior magical power.
At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly. "With Seraphina Qu having successfully forged the 7 Extinctions Soul-Severing Sword this time, it seems our chances in the Battle of the Microcosmos will be somewhat greater."
Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this and said nothing more, continuing to refine the immortal treasure formation devices.
Thus another 3 1000 years passed. Just as Eldrin's array artifact was nearing completion, a brilliant immortal light blossomed outside the blessed land, and a figure draped in black robes came striding forth.
"This is..."
After stepping into the blessed land, the visitor immediately sensed something amiss. With a slight change in expression, they headed straight for the core of the sanctuary.
Before long, he spotted Eldrin and the others by the immortal pond.
The moment he spotted the group, the man let out a sinister cackle. "Hehehe, this venerable 1 exhausted countless efforts to severely wound those 2 wretched beasts, never expecting a few fledglings like you would reap the rewards."
"Since you chose to stay, then stay forever."
As the words fell, the elder summoned a Demon-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure) and swung it toward the crowd.
「Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure)?」
Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly, instantly recognizing the origin of this sword.
This Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure) stands as 1 of the most renowned immortal swords across the heavens. In the bygone era of the Violet Realm, this very blade was revered as the foremost among the 10 Great Demon Swords.
This sword was forged using a Heavenly Demon as its core material. As Heavenly Demons are exceedingly rare in the mortal realm, crafting such a blade here presents near-insurmountable difficulties.
However, these Heavenly Demons are found everywhere in the immortal realms, making this sword exceedingly common there.
While common, it does not signify weakness. The Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure) before them had refined 3,000 heavenly demons, and its core sword spirit was an existence at the Earth Immortal realm. Its power had already reached the level of a top-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure.
Eldrin dared not delay, immediately activating the formation to defend himself. The Infernal Prison War Halberd surged upward, clashing with the Heaven-Devouring Immortal-Slaying Sword in a spectacular collision.
In an instant, the blessed land was crisscrossed with sword energy, as boundless baleful aura surged forth.
"Indeed, it's the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm."
Witnessing this scene, Lyra felt the urge to intervene immediately.
However, Eldrin slightly shook his head, stopping her from engaging the enemy.
"Heh heh heh."
Witnessing this scene, the demonic leader revealed a sinister grin and sneered, "6 little brats at the early-stage Earth Immortal realm, relying on nothing but a crude formation—do you truly believe you can stand against me?"
"This war halberd truly possesses remarkable power, ranking as a supreme masterpiece even among Heaven-Splitting Treasures. I presume it was with this very artifact that you ambushed and slain Taihu, wasn’t it?"
"Today, the Patriarch is in fine spirits. Hand over this artifact, and we shall grant you leave to depart. What say you?"
"Hah—"
Eldrin (Person Name) let out a cold sneer. Demonic cultivators were the most untrustworthy of all. If he actually believed the words of this demonic fiend, then his 200,000 years of existence would have been utterly wasted.
Without a word, he continuously manipulated the formation to wield the Blazing Prison War Halberd against the demonic foe.
The strength of this demonic cultivator was indeed as they had anticipated—a Perfected Earth Immortal.
Moreover, judging by his aura and the force of his strikes, he had likely opened 6 celestial layers—though there was no guarantee he wasn’t concealing his true strength.
Against a demonic cultivator like this, even if Eldrin and the others joined forces, they would only stand a fighting chance—perhaps even gain the upper hand—yet they dared not guarantee a complete victory.
Even if they fought a fierce battle, it would likely end in mutual destruction.
Even if they emerged victorious in the end, Eldrin might still lose 1 or 2 of his Dao Companions. And even if this demon were defeated, the few of them would find it nearly impossible to prevent its escape and deliver the final blow.
Therefore, Eldrin (Person Name) gladly used the formation to deplete the demon's mana, biding his time until its power had diminished considerably before striking from a position of rest.
"What a lad."
Seeing that the group remained unyielding, the demonic elder sneered coldly, "Do you truly believe this shabby formation can stop me?"
"Since you are so incorrigibly stubborn, then go to your deaths, all of you."
"When the Patriarch breaks through this grand formation, I shall make you beg for death yet find life beyond your reach."
As the words faded, the demonic fiend relentlessly drove the Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure) against the formation. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned a blood-soaked blade and a crimson sword, slashing through the air toward them.
As the pair of blades descended, Eldrin activated his defensive formation, only to feel an overwhelming wave of baleful energy crashing toward him.
He took a careful look and couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
Good heavens, that blade was the 'Heavenly Demon Blood-Transmutation Saber', and the sword was the 'Blood Sea Infant Soul Sword'—both were among the 10 most infamous demonic weapons renowned throughout the Violet Realm.
In this immortal realm, the Heaven-Sundering Demonic Blade, a peerless demonic weapon of unparalleled rarity in the Violet Realm, seemed as common as the falling leaves in autumn.
A fiend at the Earth Immortal Perfection realm had actually refined 3 Supreme Grade World-Creating Treasures(Magic Treasure)-level demonic weapons simultaneously.
Of course, when demonic cultivators refine demonic treasures, they seldom demand exceptional material quality, relying more on unique sinister energy resources.
Take, for instance, the Demon Blood God Blade, which requires only a demon soul and human essence blood for its consecration. As for the Blood Sea Infant Soul Sword, it imposes no specific demands on materials, but rather necessitates infant flesh, blood, soul essence, and boundless vital blood.
