Chapter 901 : The Seven Treasures Unleashed

Following closely behind, six more Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a supreme cultivator whose spirit has reached its primordial, foundational state] emerged into the world, including Violet Firmament Path Lord and Solar Fire Path Master.

It turned out that over the past two centuries, the Human Race had scoured every inch of the land. With the combined efforts of multiple Path Lord [a master of a profound cultivation path] in divination and deduction, they had finally pinpointed the location of the seventh treasure gourd.

Now, with all Seven Treasures Gourd [a set of seven mystical gourds, each containing immense power] gathered, seven Primordial Spirit Path Lord led by Demon-Subduing Divine Monk joined forces to activate them. They were now capable of deploying the Seven Treasures Gourd Grand Formation [a legendary formation powered by the seven gourds].

At this moment, the seven Primordial Spirit Path Lord acted in unison. They summoned the Seven Treasures Gourd, sending them soaring into the sky.

Instantly, seven kinds of dazzlingly brilliant auroras cascaded down, merging into a single, heaven-piercing pillar of seven-colored light that slammed violently towards the Demon Heaven Formation [a grand defensive array erected by demonic forces].

This resplendent, world-shaking strike, born from their combined power, was even three-tenths stronger than a full-force attack from a Demigod Patriarch [a patriarch who has touched the threshold of divinity].

"BOOM—"

With a deafening roar, the entire Demon Heaven Formation trembled violently. The vast Cosmic Stellar Archipelago [a constellation of floating islands in the void] seemed to sink slightly under the impact.

Witnessing such a staggering blow, Violet Firmament Path Master felt a mix of satisfaction and regret. "A pity our cultivation bases are uneven, and our spiritual power still falls somewhat short," he lamented.

"If we had nine Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the pinnacle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm] cultivators to anchor the formation, and if the Seven Treasures Gourd were refined into Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [the highest grade of treasures imbued with primordial solar essence], then our combined strike should possess eighty percent of the power of an Immortal's [a being who has ascended to immortality] attack."

The crowd murmured softly, then shook their heads with bitter smiles.

Breaking through to the Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the penultimate major stage of the Primordial Spirit realm] was no easy feat. Among those present, only the Demon-Subduing Divine Monk had attained that level.

The Violet Firmament Path Lord was at the Primordial Spirit 6th Tier [the sixth of nine minor tiers within the Primordial Spirit realm], his cultivation not far behind, but the others still had a long road ahead.

Suppressing his thoughts, the Violet Firmament Path Lord swept his gaze over the assembly and declared, "Esteemed colleagues, let us press on with renewed vigor. Today, we swear to shatter this formation and rescue Fellow Cultivator Eldrin—that is our paramount objective."

"Agreed…"

The several Path Lord [a title for cultivators who have reached the Primordial Spirit realm and established their own unique cultivation path] nodded hurriedly. Those with depleted spiritual power, like the Solar Fire Path Master and other Primordial Spirit Early Stage [the initial major stage of the Primordial Spirit realm] cultivators, promptly consumed Primordial Solar Precious Pill [a high-grade elixir that rapidly restores spiritual energy and vitality] to replenish their reserves. Once restored, they channeled their combined might into another strike from the Seven Treasures Gourd.

At its peak, the Seven Treasures Gourd [a legendary magical treasure shaped like a gourd, said to contain seven distinct divine powers] could unleash a blow possessing eighty percent of an Immortal's [a being who has transcended mortality and ascended to a higher plane of existence] full power.

Now, with their spiritual power uneven and lacking, they could muster less than thirty percent of its potential. Yet even that force was sufficient to severely injure, or even slay, a Demigod Patriarch [a patriarch whose cultivation has reached the half-step to immortality].

After the group consecutively activated the Seven Treasures Gourd for a sixth assault, the Demon Heaven Formation [a formidable defensive array conjured by demonic powers] finally began to dim, its radiance fading and its power diminished by more than half. It was clearly on the verge of collapse.

Yet, at this critical juncture, the weakest among them, such as the Solar Fire Path Master, found themselves unable to continue, their strength nearly spent.

The Solar Fire Path Master's cultivation was only at the Primordial Spirit Early Stage [the initial stage of forming one's spiritual core]. Even after consuming several Sixth Rank Pill [high-grade elixirs] to replenish his spiritual energy, repeatedly activating such a supreme killing treasure would inevitably cause severe damage to his foundational vitality.

Yet, despite this, the Solar Fire Path Master took a deep breath and, with a grimace, spat out a mouthful of Vital Essence Blood [a cultivator's lifeblood essence, refined over years] and converted it into spiritual energy to unleash one final strike.

"BOOM—"

As the seventh stream of seven-colored light descended, the radiant barrier of the entire Demon Heaven Formation [a powerful demonic defensive array] was forcibly torn apart, cracks spider-webbing across its surface.

Seeing this, Heaven Abandoned Lin's eyes flashed with sharp light. A Sword Intent [the conceptual will and power imbued within a sword technique] he had been gathering for a long time rang out with a metallic *shing* as it shot forth, cleaving a tangible breach in the Demon Heaven Formation.

"Attack—!"

In that instant, all the present Primordial Spirit Path Lord [cultivators who have mastered their spiritual core and established their own path] took action, surging towards the Cosmic Stellar Archipelago.

Simultaneously, the Demon-Slayer Furnace suffered a violent backlash, causing it to tremble and shake uncontrollably, unable to stabilize.

"Now is the moment!"

In that fleeting Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time], a golden light flashed within Eldrin Chen's eyes.

In an instant, he rose to his full height. A torrential aura erupted from within him, effortlessly shattering the bottleneck of the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage [the fourth major stage of spiritual cultivation].

Sensing the overwhelmingly potent aura emanating from the Demon-Slayer Furnace [a legendary artifact furnace], the faces of the several Primordial Spirit Demonic Cultivator [demonic practitioners who have reached the Primordial Spirit stage] paled drastically.

"Primordial Spirit Fourth Tier..."

"No, it's more than that!"

In the blink of an eye, Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable perceived Eldrin Chen's spiritual power surging wildly. It broke through the Primordial Spirit 4th Tier [the fourth minor tier within the Primordial Spirit stage] in a flash and advanced even further, reaching the realm of Primordial Spirit 5th Tier [the fifth minor tier within the Primordial Spirit stage].

Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable's heart sank with a thud. He realized he had been outmaneuvered by Eldrin Chen and immediately sought to disengage and flee for his life. The story continues at audio-novel . com.

Alas, by the time this realization dawned, it was already too late. With a deafening roar,

the furnace lid of the Demon-Slayer Furnace was sent flying. A figure clad in snow-white robes, a manifestation of Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural technique], stepped forth from the void. Without a moment's hesitation, it unleashed a sword slash.

"Counter-Scale Sword!"

In that lightning-fast moment, Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable recognized the origin of this sword. He had never imagined that Eldrin Chen, while enduring the Immortal Refining Flame [a flame capable of refining even immortals], still possessed the spare capacity to secretly refine the Black Dragon Spiritual Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact forged from a black dragon's essence].

This Counter-Scale Sword was a Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme artifact imbued with the pure essence of the primordial sun]. Empowered by the vast and surging magical power of Eldrin Chen, its might was in no way inferior to when wielded by the Black Dragon itself.

Just as the Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable summoned a Demonic Treasure [a powerful artifact forged with demonic energy] to block it, Eldrin Chen casually pointed a finger. A cataclysmic bolt of thunderous light surged forth, crashing down upon his foe.

"Ah—!"

A thunderous roar echoed. The Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable let out a wretched scream as he was blasted back several hundred Zhang-lengths [one Zhang-length equals three point three three meters].

His nearly impervious Nine Nether Abyssal Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable, forged in the deepest abyss] was shattered in a single exchange against Eldrin Chen's Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Ability [a supreme divine technique harmonizing the five fundamental elements with the power of the primordial sun]. This outcome far exceeded his direst expectations.

"A Demigod!"

In the span of a single breath, the Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable felt his heart lurch with dread, finally comprehending the terrifying nature of Eldrin Chen.

He had no time to hesitate, his only thought to flee. Yet, Eldrin Chen had anticipated this. The Polarity Void Mirror [a mystical mirror capable of manipulating the fabric of space] soared from above his head, weaving through the void. In an instant, it ensnared the Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable, trapping him firmly within its radiant light.

However, this Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable possessed extraordinary means. He summoned yet another treasure—an ethereal, formless Immortal Sword [a sword of transcendent, immortal-grade power]. With a resonant cry, he slashed out, attempting to forcibly tear a rift through the void itself.

"The Void-Rending Formless Sword."

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed as he recognized the origin of this treasure.

This Void-Rending Formless Sword was a Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade artifact imbued with the essence of the primordial sun], also a Spatial Spiritual Treasure [a treasure capable of manipulating space]. It was once the Sect-Suppressing Supreme Treasure [the ultimate artifact used to protect and establish a sect's foundation] of a holy land within the Purple Seal Realm.

Unfortunately, it later fell into the hands of the Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable during a great war.

This sword could rend the void, ignoring the blockade of Spatial Spiritual Treasure, and possessed a certain ability to stabilize and seal space itself.

Back then, Eldrin Chen had nowhere to retreat and was captured into the Demon-Slayer Furnace [a legendary furnace artifact] by the Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable, largely due to the contribution of this very sword.

Precisely because of this, Eldrin Chen was prepared. In an instant, the Polarity Void Mirror released a beam of Polarity Primordial Magnetism Light [a divine light of opposing primordial magnetic forces], pinning the Void-Rending Formless Sword in place within the void.

"Boom—"

At that same moment, a treasure vase covered in cracks descended from the depths of the void to suppress the area. It was actually the Human Race's paramount treasure, the Great Cosmos Vase.

This Great Cosmos Vase, a paramount treasure of the Human Race, had been cast into the depths of the chaotic void currents during the battle of the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm, suffering unprecedented damage.

Unexpectedly, it had now recovered and returned, brimming with a will to fight and killing intent as fractured as its form, once again sealing the Cosmic Stellar Archipelago. Clearly, it was determined to contribute to this battle, even at the cost of its own disintegration.

"Ah—"

Witnessing the return of the Great Cosmos Vase [a legendary artifact capable of containing vast spaces and energies], which completely sealed off his path of retreat, the Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable was engulfed by a towering wave of hatred.

His eyes burning crimson, he glared at Eldrin Chen with a visage twisted by murderous intent. "You dare block my path, That upstart Eldrin! Do you truly believe this venerable one fears you?" he snarled.

"With the Demon-Slayer Furnace [a supreme furnace artifact renowned for its power to refine and suppress demonic entities] in my possession, not even a Demigod Patriarch could slay me. Today, I shall fight you to the death!"

As his words fell, the Nine Nether Abyssal Demon Venerable channeled his power, commanding the Demon-Slayer Furnace to descend with crushing force. His aim was to desperately suppress Eldrin Chen and seize the slimmest chance for escape.

Eldrin Chen stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his snow-white robes pristine. He advanced with measured steps, his gaze calm as he observed the Demon-Slayer Furnace blotting out the sky. With a gesture of utter serenity, he raised a single hand and pressed down, meeting the cataclysmic descent with unshakable composure. Access the full story on audio-novel`com.
