Chapter 998 : Chaos and Calamity Clash

"Cleave—!"

In that instant, Eldrin Chen erupted with his full power.

He was seen using his physical body to withstand the Demonic Abyss [a realm of pure demonic energy and corruption], forcibly unleashing the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [a supreme cultivation art harnessing the boundless power of primordial chaos] in a devastating downward slash.

The Calamity Demon God [a powerful demonic entity embodying calamity itself], caught off guard by the ambush, tried to block the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law, only to realize he had no Immortal Rank Demonic Treasure [a treasure forged by demons, equivalent to an immortal's artifact] to protect himself.

In his haste, he could only activate a Demonic Path Divine Ability [a powerful supernatural technique of the demonic path] to shield his body. Yet, it could not withstand the might of the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law, and was shattered in the blink of an eye.

Countless Law Divine Chains [chains of solidified divine law] flooded the void. The Law Power [the fundamental power of cosmic laws] of Primordial Unity [a divine ability representing the unified origin of all things] swept through everything, actually causing the Demon God [the collective term for powerful demonic deities] to cough up blood and be sent flying.

Immediately after, the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords merged in an instant, transforming into a single, resplendent beam of immortal light that slashed down, piercing straight through his physical form.

"Aaaargh—!"

Suddenly suffering such a grievous wound, the Demon God let out a cry of agony.

Yet, this fiend truly lived up to being a Nine Heavens Demon God [a demon god of the highest order, whose power rivals the heavens]. Even after taking such a heavy blow, he had not yet reached his absolute end. This chapter is provided by audio . novel . com. Support the original.

He gathered his immense true power, forcibly expelling the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords. The boundless power of the Demonic Abyss [a realm of pure demonic energy] surged down once more, shielding his form.

"Wretched fiend, meet your end!"

Seeing the Demon God [a supreme realm of demonic cultivation] grievously wounded, Eldrin Chen pressed his advantage, launching a relentless assault towards the Calamity Demon God.

Yet, this Demonic Abyss proved worthy of its status as a Supreme Grade Postnatal Demon Treasure [a top-tier demonic artifact forged after the dawn of creation]. Its defensive capabilities ranked among the pinnacle even amongst Immortal Treasure [artifacts wielded by Immortals], frustrating Eldrin Chen's attempts to find an opening to breach its defenses.

"Cleave—!"

Fortunately, at that very moment, the battle on the other flank finally reached its climax.

Lyra Jiang, who had already held the upper hand while dueling Arachne, the Demon God alone, found her position solidified as the Heavenly Scar [a fissure in reality] stabilized, allowing Verdant Consort to free her hands.

Instead of turning her might upon the Calamity Demon God, she pivoted and charged towards Arachne, the Demon God, intent on aiding Verdant Consort in eradicating this blight.

Though Arachne, the Demon God was trapped at the early stage of the Demon God realm and unable to advance further, she was, after all, a Demon God who had attained her Dao hundreds of thousands of years prior. In theory, even two or three early-stage Ascension Immortal Realm Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality] joining forces would struggle to slay her.

Yet, neither Verdant Consort nor Lyra Jiang were ordinary opponents. Lyra Jiang, having obtained the Primordial Chaos Water [a primordial spiritual essence of water], possessed strength likely rivaling a mid-stage Ascension Immortal.

The Verdant Consort was not the slightest bit weaker. Having cultivated the Immortal Physique [a supreme physical constitution that transcends mortality], the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality], and the Dao Fruit [the culmination of one's cultivation path, manifesting as a tangible fruit of enlightenment], her combat prowess surpassed even that of an ordinary Third Level Earth Immortal.

Now, with the two of them joining forces, they relentlessly pressed Arachne, the Demon God [a powerful demonic entity associated with webs and miasma], forcing him into a desperate retreat, teetering on the brink of life and death.

"Damnation!"

Realizing he was outmatched, Arachne, the Demon God swiftly scanned his surroundings, only to find that the Calamity Demon God [a demon god embodying calamity and ruin] was barely holding its own, likely incapable of aiding him.

Seeing the situation turn dire, a flicker of retreat stirred within Arachne, the Demon God's heart. No longer willing to continue the fight, he unleashed a resonant slash with his Arachne Sword-Miasma Sword Embryo [a nascent sword weapon infused with the power of sword miasma].

"*Clang—*"

With a single, piercing ring of steel, the sword-light born from the Heaven-Net Sword Miasma [a divine ability that weaves a net of lethal sword energy] illuminated the depths of the Netherworld [the underworld or realm of the dead], its boundless killing intent cleaving through Lyra Jiang's Law Power [power derived from comprehending and wielding a fundamental Law of the Dao].

Seizing this moment, he lunged forward, aiming to break through the encirclement.

"Thinking of fleeing?"

Yet, at that very instant, Lyra Jiang let out a cold laugh. With a flick of her sleeve, a Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a brilliant, five-hued divine light] shot forth, illuminating the Arachne, the Demon God Demon God [a powerful demonic entity] squarely.

This Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a supreme binding technique manifesting as five-colored divine light] is the most potent control-type Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power] in the mortal realm, its might not inferior to an Immortal Rank [the realm of true Immortals] Supreme Great Divine Ability [a pinnacle-level divine power].

Now, with Lyra Jiang personally channeling it, even an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] would pale at its sight. In the span of a single clash, it ensnared Arachne, the Demon God [a powerful demonic deity].

Though the entrapment lasted but a fleeting moment, it was sufficient to decide the battle's outcome.

"Now!"

Seizing the opening, Verdant Consort unleashed her Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword [a divine sword named 'Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea']. The blade transformed into a Nine Heavens [the highest celestial realms] Azure Dragon [a mythical azure dragon] whose roar echoed across the skies, cleaving Arachne, the Demon God in twain at the waist.

His demonic form severed, Arachne, the Demon God let out a piercing shriek. No longer able to resist the Five-Colored Divine Radiance, his physical body and Divine Soul [the immortal spiritual core of a high-level being] were instantly suppressed and drawn into the radiant prison of the Five-Colored Divine Radiance.

For a powerhouse of this caliber, a Nine Heavens Immortal Demons [a demonic being of near-Immortal rank], grievous injury is one matter, but complete annihilation is a far more arduous task.

However, given Lyra Jiang's current cultivation, the Five-Colored Divine Radiance she has perfected is of unimaginable potency. Once Arachne, the Demon God is sealed within its confines, any hope of escape is extinguished forever.

"Arachne—!"

Witnessing Arachne, the Demon God's capture, Calamity Demon God [a demon god embodying calamity] could not contain the wild shift in his expression.

He was never a match for Eldrin Chen to begin with. Now, having lost his greatest source of aid, relying on myself alone, he feared he could scarcely withstand the three of them.

With this thought, he immediately sought to disengage and flee. Yet, the others naturally would not grant him his wish. The three of them moved in concert, surrounding the Calamity Demon God and completely sealing off his path of retreat.

Seeing the Calamity Demon God cornered with nowhere to flee, Eldrin Chen declared with icy detachment, "Calamity, the battle today shall bring our conflict to its conclusion!"

"You wish to slay This Venerable One?"

As the three closed in, the Calamity Demon God sneered, "I am shielded by the Demonic Abyss [a primordial realm of demonic power]. Even a supreme Immortal at the peak of the Sky-Touching Realm could not possibly end this lord's life."

"Though the three of you possess prodigious talent, you have no hope of destroying me!"

With a furious roar, the Calamity Demon God unleashed a torrent of Demonic Abyss power. A surging tide of Demonic Abyss Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles of reality, wielded as power] swept forth, forming an impenetrable barrier around his form.

Eldrin Chen exchanged a glance with the two women, then immediately unleashed a barrage of their most potent techniques.

The Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, the power of the Primordial Law [a supreme cultivation art], the Chaos Grasping Hand, the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords, and the Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword.

One after another, these peerless Immortal Rank techniques erupted, crashing against that Demonic Abyss shield. Yet, they found it still immensely difficult to completely shatter this protective Demonic Abyss.

After seven consecutive days of assault, they realized that even with their combined efforts, they could not breach the Demonic Abyss, and their expressions grew increasingly grave.

Seeing they could not harm their foe, Verdant Consort said with a solemn expression, "This Demonic Abyss truly lives up to its reputation as a Supreme Grade Postnatal Demon Treasure. While its offensive capabilities may be somewhat lacking, its defensive power is likely among the very pinnacle, even amongst Immortal Treasure [enchanted artifacts of immense power wielded by Immortals]."

Hearing this, Lyra Jiang's brow furrowed even more deeply with concern.

Within the Immortal Realm, Immortal Treasure and Demonic Treasure are also known as Acquired Spiritual Treasure and Acquired Demonic Treasure [powerful artifacts forged or refined after the creation of the world, as opposed to those born with it].

Furthermore, Immortal Treasure and Demonic Treasure are further divided into three grades: inferior, middle, and superior. For example, Eldrin Chen's Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss is an inferior-grade Immortal Treasure, while Arachne, the Demon Venerable's Heaven-Net Sword Miasma is a middle-grade Demonic Treasure.

A superior-grade Immortal Treasure is a treasure coveted by many Immortal [beings who have ascended to a higher plane of existence and power]. Generally speaking, only the most elite Immortal at the Sky-Touching Realm [a profound stage of Immortal cultivation] possess one or two treasures of this caliber.

Legend speaks of an even more powerful grade above superior, known as the supreme-grade Immortal Treasure, also called a supreme-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

And the Demonic Abyss held by the Calamity Demon God is precisely one such Supreme Grade Postnatal Demon Treasure.

This treasure was originally the inferior-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure born alongside the primordial world, possessing innate laws and supreme power] named 'Profound Star Abyss'. It was the Companion Spirit Treasure [a treasure born simultaneously with and intrinsically linked to a specific being] of the Innate Divine Spirit [a primordial deity born from the essence of heaven and earth] known as 'Profound Star Deity'.

Alas, during its gestation, that 'Profound Star Deity' fell victim to the machinations of a powerful Demon God, its very foundation corrupted by demonic blood. From this corruption, the Calamity Demon God was ultimately born.

Thus, the Profound Star Abyss [a legendary abyssal treasure] also fell to the Post-Heaven [a state of existence inferior to the innate, primordial state] realm, becoming this Calamity Demonic Abyss [a place of profound demonic calamity and power].

Even so, the grade of this Calamity Demonic Abyss remains at the pinnacle of the Post-Heaven grade. Though its might cannot compare to a World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of primordial creation capable of cleaving chaos and birthing worlds], it can still be called a top-tier defensive Demonic Treasure [a treasure forged or empowered by demonic energies].

If this treasure were to fall into the hands of an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] within the Sky-Touching Realm [the realm where one touches the heavens, a high stage of cultivation], then with the Demonic Abyss hovering above their head, they would be impervious to all techniques and arts. Within the Immortal realm, they would be virtually undefeatable.

Although the Calamity Demon God's [a powerful deity of calamity from the demon race] cultivation was only at the sixth layer of the Ascension Immortal Realm [the realm of ascending to immortality], and thus he could not unleash the Demonic Abyss's full power, he still exhibited signs of being impervious to all techniques.
