Chapter 883 : Clash of Primordial Spirits

At this moment, Eldrin Chen's very first move was to seal the void, a clear sign of his lethal intent. It seemed certain that a Primordial Spirit Heavenly Demon would fall today.

Realizing this, the Garuda the Heavenly Demon soared into the air, his expression turning gravely solemn. "Returning Abyss," he declared, "to think your Void Spiritual Treasure [a treasure capable of manipulating spatial forces] has already advanced to the Primordial Solar Realm [a profound stage of cultivation]. You have hidden your true strength well indeed."

"Speak! How many Primordial Spirit Late Stage [cultivators at the peak of the Primordial Spirit realm] have you brought with you today?"

At that very moment, Eldrin Chen strode forward through the air, his gaze calm and unwavering. "To slay you," he stated plainly, "what need have I for the aid of fellow Primordial Spirit Late Stage cultivators?"

"*Screech—*"

As his words faded, the Celestial Abyss Twin Swords descended with a resonant, metallic shriek.

"Arrogant fool!" Seeing Eldrin Chen approach alone, the demon felt a surge of both fury and glee. "To think you can handle this venerable one by yourself? You are not nearly enough!"

With those words, he summoned a small black furnace. The artifact swelled with the wind, unleashing a torrent of demonic flames so fierce that even the Celestial Abyss Twin Swords were forced to halt their advance.

"The Demonic Flame Furnace,"

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly as he recognized the origin of this formidable treasure. The complete novel can be found at audi0-n0vel.c0m.

The Demonic Flame Furnace [a demonic artifact forged in infernal flames], one of the Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a treasure bound to its master's life force] of Garuda the Heavenly Demon [a powerful demon lord], ranks as a Sixth Rank Superior Grade [the pinnacle of the sixth rank of power] artifact. It stands among the most formidable of Sixth Rank Demonic Treasure [demonic artifacts of the sixth rank], its power truly not to be underestimated.

Yet, Eldrin Chen remained unmoved. With a mere flick of his sleeve, a Primordial One Giant Hand [a divine technique manifesting a colossal hand of primordial energy] descended with a thunderous grasp, seeking to seize the Demonic Flame Furnace.

The host of Outer Realm Heavenly Demon [demons from beyond this realm] witnessing this immediately moved to swarm Eldrin Chen, but the Human Race cultivators had already sprung into action in that same instant.

In the span of a lightning flash, a clash of titans erupted.

Exquisite Jiang and Verdant Consort did not immediately aid Eldrin Chen. Instead, leveraging their High Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [high-grade treasures imbued with the power of the primordial sun], they targeted several Primordial Spirit Early Stage [cultivators at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit realm] Demonic Cultivator [practitioners of demonic arts].

With the void sealed, the power of a Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a top-grade treasure of the primordial sun] made dealing with Primordial Spirit Early Stage Demonic Cultivator a simple task, especially since the Human Race forces also held numerical superiority among the Path Lord [masters of their cultivation path].

In barely over ten exchanges, Exquisite Jiang claimed her first Merits [karmic credit for virtuous deeds]. With her Five-Colored Divine Light [a divine ability manifesting light of five colors], she suppressed an Primordial Spirit Early Stage demonic cultivator and funneled him into the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Cauldron [a cauldron for refining with the power of six harmonies and eight desolations] to be refined.

A few moves later, Verdant Consort lived up to expectations. Channeling the Verdant Ruins Vial [a mystical vial], she annihilated another Primordial Spirit Heavenly Demon [a demon at the Primordial Spirit stage] within the void.

Once the two were free to act, the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon line crumbled. In less than thirty exchanges, a staggering five Primordial Spirit Demonic Cultivator [demonic cultivators at the Primordial Spirit stage] had been either suppressed or slain.

"Damnation!"

Seeing the situation turn dire, Garuda the Heavenly Demon who was locked in combat with Eldrin Chen atop Heavenly Vault felt a surge of intense anxiety.

The disparity in combat power between the two sides was vast. With five Primordial Spirit Demonic Cultivator having fallen in succession, he understood that continuing this battle would only lead to increasingly grievous losses.

At this moment, Garuda the Heavenly Demon also began to beat the drums of retreat. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned a pair of pitch-black dragon shears, sending them scissoring towards Eldrin Chen.

"Black Dragon Shears."

In the span of a single breath, Eldrin Chen recognized the origin of this treasure.

The Black Dragon Shears were Garuda the Heavenly Demon's signature magical treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators], the very first supreme treasure he had forged upon his path.

Thousands of years prior, when Garuda was still at the Primordial Spirit Early Stage, he had already refined this treasure to the level of Sixth Rank Superior Grade.

It was precisely a single strike from the Black Dragon Shears that had sheared Azure Abyss Path Lord in two, leading to his demise. Even the Azure Abyss Sword, forged from Primordial Solar Immortal Gold, had been destroyed in that clash.

Now, seeing the Black Dragon Shears transform into two black dragons lunging towards him, Eldrin Chen dared not be careless. He immediately activated the Primordial One True Aegis to shield himself, then transformed into a Thunderclap of Escape Radiance to evade.

Yet, this was merely a feint by Garuda the Heavenly Demon. Seizing the moment Eldrin Chen was dodging, he turned and attempted to flee into the distance.

"This is bad."

Eldrin Chen's expression hardened slightly. He understood that if the Garuda the Heavenly Demon managed to fly beyond the range of the Polarity Void Mirror, slaying it would become an immensely difficult task.

Fortunately, Exquisite Jiang reacted with lightning speed. With a flick of her sleeve, she unleashed a Five-Colored Divine Light [a radiant beam of energy composed of five elemental hues, capable of binding and sealing targets], locking the demon firmly in the void.

"Damn it!"

At this critical juncture between life and death, the Garuda the Heavenly Demon acted decisively. It spewed forth a mouthful of Vital Essence Blood [a cultivator's lifeblood essence, potent but costly to expend], forcibly bolstering its protective Divine Ability [a supernatural power derived from profound cultivation] to withstand the Five-Colored Divine Light.

However, Exquisite Jiang's cultivation base and spiritual power ultimately could not match that of a Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the advanced phase of the Primordial Spirit realm] expert. Furthermore, the Garuda Heavenly Demon's Innate Divine Ability [a supernatural power inherent to a being's bloodline or nature] had been cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm [the pinnacle stage of mastery for a technique or realm]. Against the odds, it managed to wrench itself free from the binding light. Experience the full epic at *audio-novel.com*.

"Wretched fiend, you shall not escape!"

"BOOM—"

Just as the Garuda the Heavenly Demon was on the verge of breaking free to safety, Eldrin Chen roared in fury. He instantly summoned and hurled a bolt of five-colored lightning towards the demon.

The thunderous technique was swift as a flash of lightning. The Garuda the Heavenly Demon simply could not evade it with its speed. In that fleeting, life-or-death instant, the demon desperately tried to activate two of its Demonic Treasure [an enchanted artifact forged or used by demonic beings] in a last-ditch attempt to preserve its life.

Yet all he saw was the Demonic Flame Furnace being suppressed by the Verdant Ruins Vial, and the Black Dragon Shears entangled by the Frost Soul Immortal Ribbon.

Immediately after, a bolt of thunderous light struck, shattering his Great Perfection Realm Pure Lunar Demonic Aegis with a deafening crash. The residual force seared his flesh with agony, and in that instant, his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] was utterly extinguished.

"Excellent!"

Cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm, the Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Thunder was truly peerless under heaven. With a single strike, it completely reduced the Garuda the Heavenly Demon to ashes of the tribulation.

The slaying of such a fearsome and notorious supreme Heavenly Demon greatly boosted the morale of our allies. The Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, however, were utterly terrified, their will to fight shattered. They immediately scattered and fled in all directions.

The pursuit lasted for several days, during which two more Outer Realm Heavenly Demons were slain. Only when the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons fled beyond the area enveloped by the Polarity Void Mirror and tore through the void to escape did this battle finally come to an end.

After the great battle concluded, they did not immediately celebrate their victory. Instead, they seized the moment to begin purging the Star Lake Ancient Domain of the remaining Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.

A group of over ten Primordial Spirit Path Lords, disregarding any concern for face, took action against the Fiend Race cultivators below the Infant Soul realm. Over the course of more than a month, they nearly eradicated every Fiend Race member at the Infant Soul level and above within the Star Lake Ancient Domain.

Once everything was settled, the group gathered on Blood Demon Island, each wearing a smile of satisfaction.

The Vast Abyss Path Lord, his face radiant with triumph, spoke with evident joy, "In this battle, we have slain eight Primordial Spirit Heavenly Demons, including the Primordial Spirit Late Stage Garuda the Heavenly Demon. Henceforth, the Fiend Race will have no choice but to shift from offense to defense."

"Indeed," Sea-Calmer Path Master [the Daoist master of the Sea-Calmer lineage] also nodded, stroking his long beard with a smile. "Currently, the high and mid-tier forces of the Fiend Race [a malevolent race of demons] within the Star Lake Ancient Domain [an ancient, star-reflecting lake region] have been almost entirely purged. The billions of low-tier Fiend Race Army [the demonic army] stationed there have also suffered grievous losses."

"After we regroup and reorganize our forces slightly, we can summon our great army to counterattack the Eastern Sea Cultivation World [the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea], driving the Fiend Race [the malevolent demon race] back into the depths of the Cosmic Stellar Archipelago [a vast archipelago of stellar realms]."

Only after everyone had finished speaking with beaming smiles did Eldrin Chen nod and say with a laugh, "This victory signifies that our Human Race [the human cultivators] have regained control over the situation in the Purple Seal Realm [the Realm of the Purple Seal]."

"For the next three hundred years, unless the demon and monster races unite completely, they will find it difficult to suppress us."

"Even after those three hundred years when the Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable [a powerful demon lord from the Nine Nether Abyss] fully recovers, our Human Race [the human cultivators] will also have Heaven Abandoned Lin [the Sword Saint Lin, abandoned by heaven] and the Master of Solar Fire Hall [the leader of the Solar Fire Hall] restored to the Primordial Spirit 9th Tier [the ninth tier of the Primordial Spirit realm]. We may not necessarily fear that Outer Realm Heavenly Demon [a powerful demon from beyond this realm]."

Upon hearing this, everyone present revealed expressions of joy.

The triumph of this battle allowed the Purple Seal Realm Human Race [the human forces of the Purple Seal Realm] to vent a long-held grievance, sweeping away the despondency of previous consecutive defeats and re-establishing themselves as the most formidable power within the Purple Seal Realm [the Realm of the Purple Seal].

In the time to come, as the many Path Lord [powerful cultivators who have mastered their own Dao Path] of the Human Race [the human cultivators] gradually return to their posts, perhaps before the next Demonic Abyss Cataclysm [a cyclical cataclysm emanating from the Demonic Abyss], they can begin to gradually erode the forces of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon [demons from beyond this realm] within the Stellar Archipelago [the archipelago of stellar realms].
