Chapter 1670 : Innate Taowu Ancient Sword

Once again dealt a heavy blow, the River Wei Deity showed not a trace of agony, but instead revealed a faint smile.

In that very instant, Eldrin sensed something amiss.

With a flick of his sleeve, he immediately struck out with a palm toward the left, forcefully clashing with a black-robed figure in a direct confrontation.

After 1 exchange, Eldrin retreated 3 consecutive steps, only to see his opponent pressing the attack once more. The Wei River God, disregarding his injuries, also launched relentless assaults in quick succession.

Caught off guard by the sudden ambush, Eldrin had no choice but to parry each strike as it came.

Fortunately, his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was extraordinary. After exchanging a dozen or so moves, he channeled the Taiji Void Cosmos Sword Qi, seized an opening, and grievously wounded the River Wei Deity once more, nearly cleaving him in 2. Only then did he manage to break free.

Only then did Eldrin turn his gaze to the newcomer, his eyes faintly chilling as he spoke.

The Fourth Supreme Elder of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven?

"Indeed, I am Li Qianxing. You may address me as Daoist Qianxing."

The Fourth Supreme Elder spoke, then his expression abruptly shifted. Clearly sensing his own merit had been diminished, he gazed toward the heavens with immeasurable terror.

After a moment of shock, he glared at Weishui Tian Shen (Deity) with furious disbelief and roared, "Weishui, you treacherous cur! You set me up!"

"Hahaha."

The Weishui Heavenly God laughed heartily, his gaze turning icy as he declared, "Since this old man is already on death's doorstep, how could your Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven be allowed to survive unscathed?"

At this point, ignoring Daoist Qianxing's fury, he continued with unruffled composure, "It's useless to debate life and death now. I know since you've entered this tribulation, you must have brought the Decree of Samsara with you."

"Why don't we join forces today to slay this fiend? At the very least, we should severely wound him rather than perish in vain."

Upon hearing this, the complexion of Daoist Qianxing shifted repeatedly.

The moment he stepped into the Dao Tribulation, he knew full well that he would likely perish because of it.

Yet he never could have imagined that he would encounter the protagonist of the Heavenly Dao Tribulation so soon.

At this thought, he took a deep breath and gazed faintly yet profoundly at Eldrin, saying, "I have cultivated arduously for over 60 million years, yet never have I slain a protagonist of the Heavenly Tribulation."

"Since there is no path to survival today, let us perish together."

As the voice of Daoist Qianxing faded, an ancient bamboo scroll slowly unfurled in his hand.

This set of bamboo slips gleamed with a dark golden hue, seemingly forged from the Supreme Immortal Bamboo and imbued with boundless primordial energy. Its surface was carved with thousands of archaic seal characters.

As the ancient script unfurled, 1 dazzling archaic character after another soared forth, transforming into supreme chains of order that shot across the sky, firmly sealing Eldrin in place.

Taihuang Heaven-Sealing Mirror.

"To think the Divine Abyss Cave Heaven would actually be willing to bestow this treasure upon you."

Witnessing this scene, the River Wei Deity couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

For 1 100 and 70 million years, the Divine Abyss Cave Heaven has reigned supreme over the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, its foundations unfathomably profound.

The sect possessed 2 supreme guardian treasures and 7 innate wonders, collectively known as the 9 Celestial Treasures of the Divine Abyss—all artifacts forged to stabilize the sect's cosmic fortune.

Those 2 supreme treasures of the sect, respectively named the 'Abyssal Ancient Cauldron (Magic Treasure)' and the 'Divine Abyss Ancient Sword (Magic Treasure)', were both top-grade Primordial Treasures.

The 7 Great Innate Wonders are all Mid-Grade Innate Treasures. The Tai Huang Heaven-Sealing Mirror before them was 1 of the 7 Great Innate Wonders of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven.

The Imperial Heaven-Sealing Mirror was the most unique among the 7 Treasures, possessing the wondrous ability to seal the heavens—capable of suppressing the spiritual energy and cultivation base surrounding a powerful expert.

Once sealed by this treasure, even a Celestial Immortal would find it nearly impossible to break free, becoming as helpless as fish on a chopping block, utterly at the mercy of others.

The reason the Divine Abyss Cave Heaven brought forth this treasure was to capture the supporting roles during the Dao Tribulation, then hand them over to the First Holy Son for execution.

Thus, Daoist Qianxing could avoid the majority of karmic retribution, granting him a chance to survive.

Yet he could never have imagined that the moment he unleashed this ancient treasure, it would be employed against Eldrin (Person Name), the central figure of this heavenly tribulation.

However, since he had already made his move, Daoist Qianxing could no longer afford to hesitate. With an expression of utmost gravity, he gazed at the Wei River Celestial and declared, "The Supreme Imperial Heaven-Sealing Mirror possesses no power of slaughter. If you harbor any hidden cards, now is the time to reveal them."

Excellent!

The Weishui Heavenly God's expression shifted slightly, then he nodded with utmost gravity.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, he summoned an intensely dazzling black slaughter-sword, cleaving through the air toward Eldrin.

Innate Slaughter Sword.

The moment he laid eyes on the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow ever so slightly.

This sword was wreathed in overwhelming baleful aura, as if it were the most sinister entity between heaven and earth. Its power could be considered the most formidable Eldrin had ever witnessed in his lifetime.

At that very moment, the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits charged forth from afar, his voice grave as he declared, "Beware! That is the Primordial Taowu Sword."

The sword radiated overwhelming ferocity. Even without the warning from the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor, Eldrin had already maintained vigilant defenses against it.

At this moment, hearing the reminder from the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor, Eldrin's expression grew profoundly solemn.

This Primordial Taowu Sword was forged from the skeletal remains of the 'Taowu', 1 of the 4 great Primordial Fierce Beasts.

This sword was an innate weapon of supreme malice, inherently ill-omened from its very origin. Once activated, it would inevitably become tainted by baleful forces.

The River Wei Deity also understood that once this sword was activated, he would likely be tainted by ominous forces. Yet, facing Eldrin now, he had no choice but to channel his full power into driving the blade.

Yet as he continued to channel his power, the sword transformed into boundless, ferocious sword energy that cleaved through the air, as if intent on splitting Eldrin in 2.

"Hmph—"

Facing such a strike, Eldrin’s eyes turned icy cold.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, his Innate Primordial Indestructible Body was pushed to its absolute limit, forcibly withstanding the seal of the Imperial Heaven Sealing Mirror.

He then raised the Chaos Heaven Halberd in his hands, blocking the path of this innate slaughter sword that radiated overwhelming killing intent.

This innate Sword of Taotie was truly extraordinary. Even through the Chaos Heavenly Halberd, a supreme baleful aura relentlessly invaded, seeping into Eldrin's body.

In an instant, streams of ominous energy sought to corrupt Eldrin's Innate Indestructible Body, tainting the power of his physical form.

Fortunately, the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body proved truly extraordinary, capable of suppressing nearly all forms of aberrant energy. Even this ominous force that fell upon Eldrin (Person Name) was instantly refined and purified.

In stark contrast, the Wei River God suffered a backlash from the baleful force. Thick crimson fur sprouted across his body, his face withered and aged visibly before their eyes—a chilling manifestation of an ill-omened twilight.

"What's going on?"

"Why can't we seal away his magic power and physical form?"

Elder Qianxing’s face instantly paled at the sight.

He never could have imagined that the Supreme Emperor's Heaven-Sealing Mirror, capable of sealing even a mid-stage Celestial Immortal, actually failed to restrain Eldrin's Primordial Indestructible Body.

"I shall lend you my aid!"

At that very moment, Lyra and the others finally defeated their formidable foes and rushed to Eldrin's aid.

But then Lyra (Person Name), Qing Ji, and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) launched their assault toward Daoist Qianxing, forcing him to divert his remaining strength to defend himself.

Chen Ethan and the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord, radiating boundless killing intent, joined forces to launch an assault against the Wei River Celestial Divinity.

The Weishui Heavenly Deity, already grievously wounded and further tormented by the backlash of baleful force, found himself utterly suppressed under the combined assault of the 2 opponents.
