Chapter 925 : Confrontation of the Eight Demonic Fiends

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin Chen's heart sank. A crushing, overwhelming pressure surged towards him, and he fully understood the tactics of the Outer Realm Demon God in this battle.

It turned out the Catastrophe Demon God had fused the physical bodies and Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] of eight Demigod Patriarch into one, refining them into eight utterly malevolent Formation Artifact [enchanted objects used to power and control formations].

These eight Demigod [cultivators who have ascended halfway to godhood] thus became like eight Formation Flag [banners that anchor and channel a formation's power], each inscribed by the Outer Realm Demon God with a fragment of its Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths of a cultivator's chosen Dao].

Now, with the eight fiends simultaneously activating these Path Principles, they had combined to manifest a single, devastating demonic Path Principles, aimed at utterly annihilating Eldrin Chen on the spot.

This was a true overt stratagem. Even though Eldrin Chen clearly knew the Eight Demons Immortal Refining Formation [a formation where eight demonic beings combine their power to refine and destroy an immortal] was targeting him, he found himself with no retreat.

He possessed supreme Divine Ability [supernatural techniques] that rivaled true Immortal Rank Divine Abilities, and his physical body was already comparable to a Demigod Patriarch. Yet, at most, he could only contend with two or three such patriarchs simultaneously.

Now, surrounded by eight Demigod Demonic Fiend [demonic cultivators at the Demigod realm], breaking through their encirclement was an exceedingly difficult task.

That alone would have been daunting. While the hope of breaking out was slim, he still had a chance. But the most critical issue was that he could not retreat.

Because the Heavenly Starry Sky Grand Formation protecting the Purple Seal Realm was now incomplete and damaged. It simply could not withstand a formation of this terrifying, immortal-grade power.

If he retreated out of fear, the Eight Demons Immortal Refining Formation would face no opposition within the Purple Seal Realm. It would then easily shatter the Eight Trigrams Treasure Formation and release the Outer Realm Demon God's Second Primordial Spirit [a technique to split one's spiritual core, creating a second, independent consciousness].

By that time, with the Eastern Sovereign's Physical Body and the Eight Demons Immortal Refining Formation assembled, who within the Purple Seal Realm could possibly withstand the Outer Realm Demon God?

Yet, if Eldrin Chen were to block the Eight Demons Immortal Refining Formation and allow himself to be trapped and refined by it, his still-unperfected Primordial One Indestructibility Body likely would not hold for long against the power of the demonic Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths that govern reality and cultivation].

"I am already the strongest in the Purple Seal Realm. If I do not stand forward, who else can withstand this?"

At this critical juncture between life and death, Eldrin Chen halted his steps.

He was seen sitting cross-legged upon the void, circulating his spiritual power to manifest the Primordial One True Aegis [an ultimate defensive technique], resisting the torrential chains of Path Principles.

For a time, chain after chain of Path Principles descended, striking Eldrin Chen's physical form and erupting with the sound of clashing metal.

"*Crack, crack, crack—*"

The Path Principles were like blades scraping bone, ceaselessly assailing Eldrin Chen's flesh.

Even though Eldrin Chen's body had reached the pinnacle of the Mortal Realm and could be considered one of the supreme Demigod physiques in the world, under this relentless onslaught of Path Principles, it too became riddled with countless fissures.

Crimson blood continuously seeped through Eldrin Chen's white robes, a clear sign that even he could not fully withstand this level of Immortal Path Principles [the fundamental laws of the Immortal Path, a higher order of cosmic truth].

If it were an ordinary Demigod Patriarch [a cultivator who has reached the half-step to divinity], even one specializing in physical cultivation, enduring such a Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths of the cosmos] slash would likely be impossible for more than ten breaths.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen's Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique known for its near-unbreakable resilience] far surpassed the physical form of an ordinary Demigod [a cultivator who has reached the half-step to divinity]. Furthermore, the Life Force Magic Power [a profound divine ability that channels vital life energy for healing] within him was constantly repairing his flesh, barely managing to prevent his body from collapsing instantly.

Yet even so, he had suffered an unprecedented blow and was uncertain how long he could hold on.

"Husband!"

In the distance, Exquisite Jiang was terrified. She couldn't help but rush forward, frantically attacking the Formation [a structured array of energy used for defense, attack, or other purposes].

It was Eldrin Chen who resolutely shook his head. Gritting his teeth, he declared with unwavering firmness, "Do not worry. I possess the Primordial One Indestructibility Body. Though it is not yet perfected, it will not be easy for them to cut me down."

At that moment, however, the Outer Realm Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this world] high in the Nine Heavens Above [the highest celestial realm] sneered coldly. "A mere Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core realm of a cultivator] dares to resist the power of Path Principles Power? It is nothing but an ant trying to hold up the sky. Let us see how long you can last."

"Slash!"

As the Outer Realm Demon God's words fell, he commanded the eight demonic entities to intensify their Path Principles Power [the tangible force derived from cosmic laws], aiming to utterly annihilate Eldrin Chen, reducing him to ashes of the tribulation.

Witnessing this, Exquisite Jiang and Lila could not help but reveal traces of panic on their faces.

It was Dorian Ji who remained utterly calm, his expression grave as he spoke, "Although the Path Principles [the fundamental laws of cultivation and reality] jointly unleashed by these eight demons is formidable, it is ultimately not an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] making the move. There might still be a flaw."

"If we attack from the periphery, deploying our Near-Immortal Treasures [artifacts of immense power, approaching the level of immortal artifacts], perhaps we can still shake this Formation [a structured array that channels energy for defense or attack]."

"Then let us strike together."

Exquisite Jiang immediately spoke up, summoning the Demon-Slayer Furnace [a legendary furnace artifact] which materialized in the sky, launching a frenzied assault against the eight demons' Immortal-Refining Grand Formation [a grand formation designed to refine even immortals].

Dorian Ji followed closely, unleashing his own Immortal Refining Furnace [a furnace artifact of supreme power]. Heaven Abandoned Lin also swept his sword forward in a mighty slash, striving to relieve some of the pressure on Eldrin Chen.

The combined might of their attacks was such that even a Demigod Patriarch [a patriarch who has reached the half-step to divinity] would not dare face it head-on. Yet, the eight demons' Immortal-Refining Grand Formation possessed earth-shaking, heaven-moving power. Despite the relentless onslaught, the formation stood firm and unyielding.

This stalemate persisted for three months. The allies' attacks remained Impenetrable [unable to breach the defense] against the Formation. Meanwhile, within the formation's core, Eldrin Chen's physical body endured a torment akin to being flayed by a thousand blades.

Terrible wounds continuously tore open across his flesh only to heal, then tear open anew. By now, even the restorative power of his Life Force Magic Power [a profound life-force energy] could not keep pace with the relentlessly deepening injuries.

"Hahaha!"

Witnessing Eldrin Chen's body on the verge of collapse, the Outer Realm Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this realm] let out a roar of maniacal laughter.

He let out a cold, mocking laugh, his voice brimming with boundless arrogance. "That upstart Eldrin, you truly live up to being the Child of Destiny of the Purple Seal Realm."

"But those who fail to ascend to immortality are mere ants in the end. Your day of death has arrived."

As the words of the Catastrophe Demon God fell, he recklessly drove his eight demonic heads forward once more. They manifested divine chains of Path Principles that soared into the sky, slashing down with the unwavering intent to reduce Eldrin Chen to nothing but ashes of calamity.

This seemingly unstoppable assault painted expressions of utter despair on the faces of Exquisite and the others.

"Alas—"

Yet, at that very moment between life and death, a sigh echoed from the depths of the void.

The Boundless Void was torn asunder by a pale, slender hand. A figure clad in pristine white robes stepped forth.

The newcomer wore robes of purest snow, their form shrouded in a halo of ethereal, hazy immortal light. None could clearly discern their supreme countenance, yet all sensed an aura that did not belong to the Mortal Realm—as if a Banished Immortal from the Nine Heavens had descended upon the mortal dust.

"Primordial Era Ice Silkworm."

The moment he laid eyes on the newcomer, even the Catastrophe Demon God was struck momentarily speechless, his expression frozen.

Yet His gaze traversed the boundless void, fixing upon the figure that resembled the Nine Heavens Banished Immortal. A flicker of solemnity, mingled with a cold sneer, appeared in His eyes as He spoke, "Your seventh Nirvana [a profound state of rebirth and transcendence] is not yet perfected. Do you not fear all your previous efforts will be wasted by acting now?"

The Primordial Era Ice Silkworm [an ancient, glacial demonic beast] merely shook its head, its voice frigid and detached. "Even if I refrain, once your Second Primordial Spirit [a powerful spiritual avatar] breaks free, will you grant me another chance for Nirvana?"

"Indeed." The Catastrophe Demon God replied coldly, yet a mocking laugh escaped Him. "A pity your intervention is futile."

"You have not crossed that final threshold after all. You cannot break the Eight Demons Immortal Refining Formation [a legendary formation of immense power]. Your coming here is but a vain sacrifice."

"With my current cultivation, breaking the Eight Demons Immortal Refining Formation is indeed beyond me."

The Primordial Era Ice Silkworm spoke softly, then calmly took a step forward. With each stride, a terrifying aura surged forth, sweeping across the heavens.

As it continued its advance, a gathering Path Tribulation [the heavenly tribulation faced when advancing one's cultivation path] energy coalesced in the sky, ultimately converging into a dazzling expanse of Tribulation Cloud [the ominous clouds that herald a heavenly tribulation].

Witnessing this, the Outer Realm Demon God [a demonic deity from beyond this realm] could not suppress a cry of alarm. "Have you gone mad? With your Nirvana incomplete, attempting to charge the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the realm of true immortality] now is nothing but seeking your own death! You cannot possibly survive the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the cataclysmic thunder tribulation required to ascend to immortality]!"

"I understand."

The Primordial Era Ice Silkworm was utterly calm, its demeanor one of profound and unshakeable serenity.

Behold, He strode through the void step by step, advancing toward the Eight Demons Immortal Refining Formation [a formation designed to refine and consume the essence of immortals] while bringing with Him the boundless Tribulation Cloud [ominous clouds that herald a heavenly tribulation].

"You are mad."

The Catastrophe Demon God [a deity embodying calamity and ruin] was nearly driven to frenzy, his face contorted with utter fury as he roared, "If you dare destroy my Eight Demons Immortal Refining Formation, even if seizing the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the cataclysmic heavenly lightning tribulation] offered a sliver of hope for survival, I shall not leave you with even a shred of life."

"If you withdraw now, I vow you shall depart unscathed."

"You are afraid."

The Primordial Era Ice Silkworm [an ancient, glacial insectoid entity of immense power] spoke with serene composure, its voice resonating with profound acceptance. "By using my own Immortal Ascension Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the ultimate heavenly tribulation one must face to ascend to immortality] to shatter your Eight Demons Immortal Refining Formation, I can save those destined souls of the Purple Seal Realm [a specific cultivation realm or world] from their ordained calamity."

"For such a karmic fruit, even if my fate is ten deaths with no life, it is more than sufficient." This novel is serialized on audio–novel.com. Visit for updates.
