Chapter 902 Invincible in the Mortal Realm

But lo, a hand that blotted out the skies swept across the horizon, obliterating all in its path as it seized the Demon-Subduing Furnace in its grasp.

The Colossus held up the heavens, its hands cradling the sun and moon.

This scene resembled a demon god plucking stars and seizing the moon, with the Demon-Subduing Furnace looming like a celestial sun, utterly suppressed beneath that colossal palm.

Eldrin stood like a divine deity, suppressing the Demon-Subduing Furnace in his grasp. Despite its furious struggles and the descent of a 100 laws upon it, the furnace remained completely unscathed.

"Although the Demon-Subduing Furnace is extraordinary, it cannot protect you!"

With a single palm suppressing the Demonic-Subduing Cauldron, Eldrin spoke calmly before sweeping his sleeve out once more.

But lo, thunderous radiance shimmered in waves as 1 heavenly tribulation blast after another descended from the firmament. Like the primordial chaos divine lightning that cleaved heaven and earth, they struck directly toward the 9 Nether Demon Lord.

"Ah!"

At the critical moment of life and death, the 9 Netherworld Demon Venerable struggled with all his might, employing every means to resist, yet was still sent flying, coughing up blood.

Refusing to accept his fate, he summoned 1 demonic treasure after another to clash against heaven and earth, determined to fight Eldrin to the death. He even attempted to tear open the Great Cosmos Vase and break free.

Alas, it ultimately proved to be a futile effort. Eldrin's current cultivation could truly be described as having attained the pinnacle of cosmic artistry.

Even if he could not compare to the likes of the Palace Master who cultivated both the Dao Fruit and the Laws—a formidable half-immortal—he was by no means inferior to ordinary Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm).

With such formidable power, the 9 Serenities Demon Venerable was utterly powerless to resist.

Although the Demon-Subduing Crucible was a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, it was suppressed by the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand, unable to buy him the opportunity to break free.

However, such a supreme demonic cultivator was truly extraordinary. Even though his strength was no match for Eldrin (Person Name), it took 10 exchanges before he was forced on the defensive, leaving him with only the capacity to parry.

From that moment on, there was no turning back the tides of fate. After exchanging over 60 moves, the 9 Nether Demon Sovereign could resist no longer. He was utterly incinerated into karmic ashes by Eldrin’s Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.

A wisp of remnant soul still sought to flee, yet it was hopelessly trapped within Lyra's 5-Colored Divine Light, extinguishing any last chance of escape.

With his last breath, the 9 Netherworld Demon Lord cast a gaze of boundless hatred toward Eldrin, his face contorted into a vicious snarl. "Eldrin, you insignificant whelp! Though I fall today, I shall merely be the first to tread the path—you will follow soon enough."

"Previously, you had yet to forge the Primordial Chaos Foundation, so His Majesty the Demon God did not pay much attention to you."

"You have now become a grave threat to His Majesty the Demon God. Even at immense cost, he will spare no effort to eliminate you."

"Hahaha, this venerable 1 shall await you on the Path of Netherdark."

After quietly listening to the 9 Nether Demon Lord finish speaking, Eldrin's expression remained utterly composed.

He gazed calmly at the Nether Demon Sovereign, his expression frosted with cold resolve as he declared, "Should I venture into the Netherworld, I shall slay you once more!"

"You... insolent fool!"

The 9 Netherfiend Sovereign’s expression shifted abruptly, but before he could utter another word, Eldrin reduced him to ashes with the Purifying Sun Celestial Flame.

Witnessing Eldrin slay the 9 Nether Demon Lord, the human race’s various Primordial Spirits immediately revealed expressions of ecstatic joy.

This 9 Abyss Demon Lord had long been a grave threat to the human race, his power nearly invincible within the Divine Soul Realm. Now that Eldrin (Person Name) had vanquished him here, the cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss finally drew to a close.

In stark contrast to the ecstasy of the human race, the various primordial souls of the demonic clans had long sensed the situation turning dire and began to flee in a frantic, desperate scramble.

The group immediately seized the chance to crush the defeated foe, pursuing them all the way beyond the Zhou Tian Constellation Islands until over half of the demonic cultivators' primordial spirits had been annihilated.

When the war finally came to an end, the allied forces had slain over 20 more Outer Realm Demons, leaving only 20-some demons who managed to escape.

The number of these demonic beings was still considerable, but with only 1 or 2 remaining at the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm), they no longer posed a critical threat to the cultivators of the Violet Realm.

After this great victory over the demonic forces, everyone returned to the Zhoutian Star Islands, each face brimming with exhilaration.

Lin Tianqi gazed at Eldrin with a profoundly complex expression. "Merely 6 100 years have passed, yet I never imagined your cultivation would advance with such meteoric speed, Fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist, the might of these 2 divine abilities of yours can truly be called peerless in this world, surpassing even the attainments of the former Emperor Jiang."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Although the former Emperor Jiang had also cultivated the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder and had even reached the Grand Completion realm, its power rivaled that of immortal-grade divine abilities.

However, judging by the unleashed power and effects, it fell far short of the might displayed when Eldrin (Person Name) channeled its energy.

Back when Emperor Jiang was merely at the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage, he could already unleash the might of the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder with a power rivaling that of a half-immortal.

其原因也很简单，姜皇只悟出了三种秘力，法力虽然远超同阶，但是比起Eldrin (Person Name)的混元法力还差得远。

At this thought, Lin Tianqi couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile and said, “All my life, I have devoted myself to the way of the sword. I once believed my combat prowess was unparalleled in this world and that I possessed a sliver of qualification to attain immortality.”

"Now that I have met you, Fellow Daoist, I realize how far I fall short of your mastery."

"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist."

Eldrin stood quietly in the void, shaking his head with a faint smile.

He cast a glance at the assembled crowd, then cupped his hands in a respectful salute and said, "This time, I owe our success to the assistance of every 1 of you. This debt of gratitude is etched firmly in my heart."

"You flatter me."

Hearing this, everyone smiled faintly. Judging by the current circumstances, as long as Eldrin did not meet an untimely demise, he would most likely ascend to immortality in the future.

By establishing a favorable connection with a future immortal in advance and later requesting an immortal’s mark, even if 1 passes away and descends into the Netherworld, the rulers of the underworld would likely show deference out of respect for the immortal.

Eldrin was well aware of what everyone was thinking.

He merely smiled faintly, then spoke: "The Starfall Archipelago has been occupied by demonic cultivators for 6 100 years. Now is precisely the time to rebuild from the ruins."

"In the coming days, I shall restore the spiritual veins of this floating isle and purify the Demonic Fiend Qi (Spiritual Root) that taints its soil. I humbly request your assistance in this endeavor."

"We are well aware."

Everyone quickly nodded, clearly already taking Eldrin as their leader.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly and said, "Then I shall trouble you all."

After the various Dao Lords had departed, Lyra and several other dao companions approached, their eyes tinged with crimson.

Seeing the excitement on their faces, Eldrin was also filled with longing. He quickly grasped their hands and said, "All these years, my ladies have endured countless hardships."

Lyra said nothing, merely gripping his hand tightly as if unwilling to ever part with him again.

Eldrin spent a tender moment with her, and after a long while, he held Lyra close and said, "My cultivation has advanced significantly this time. I'll need to consolidate my gains in the coming days."

"The remaining demonic cultivators are no longer a concern. From now on, within the Violet Realm, we shall no longer have to live in constant fear."

Hearing this, the group let out sighs of relief. For years, the impending calamity had weighed heavily on their hearts.

Now Eldrin's cultivation had reached the pinnacle of this realm. Though the threat of extraplanar demons still loomed in their hearts, within the Violet Realm at least, they no longer had to live in constant fear.
