Chapter 978 Annihilating Demons with a Flick

"We shall obey the command!"

Chen Ethan and the others nodded, immediately accepting the command before departing.

After the group had departed, Eldrin smiled and said to Seraphina Qu beside him, "2 vile fiends have plagued the Violet Realm for years. I doubt these young men have the confidence to overcome them."

"They are considered old acquaintances from back in the day. I intend to go personally and eradicate them all."

"You mean..."

Seraphina Qu's eyes flickered slightly before she spoke, "The 5 Poisons Young Master and that Glacier Old Demon?"

"Exactly!"

Eldrin nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Within the Purple Realm, there were once many demonic spirits, yet after years of great wars, numerous early-generation demonic souls had already perished in the cataclysm.

In the early years, the only demons and monsters with the power to wreak havoc upon the world were the Great Roc Demon Sage, the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor, the 5 Venoms Patriarch, the Blood Demon Patriarch, and that accursed Black Lotus Demonic Seed.

In recent years, the Blood Demon Patriarch, the Black Lotus Demon Ancestor, and even that Black Dragon Demon Ancestor have all been completely eradicated by Eldrin.

The Roc-Demon Sage rendered immense service during the great calamity, and the 5 Poisons Ancestor also contributed significantly. Naturally, Eldrin would not take action again.

The remaining demonic souls posed no threat whatsoever to Eldrin (Person Name).

That 5 Poisons Young Master had attained the Dao for over 3 1000 years, yet only recently broke through to Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm). As for the Glacier Ancient Demon, despite having attained his Primordial Spirit for more than 7 1000 years, his current cultivation remained merely at the fifth layer of Primordial Spirit. To him, this was nothing remarkable.

However, these 2 individuals had once held some grudges against Eldrin. At that time, Eldrin had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and both of them had attempted to bully the weak by leveraging their superior cultivation against him.

That was especially true for the Glacier Fiend. Back in the Celestial Mountain Immortal Abode, he had joined forces with the Wang Clan Patriarch to launch a surprise attack, causing Eldrin (Person Name) no small amount of trouble.

If not for the timely support from Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) back then, Eldrin (Person Name) would have suffered a major defeat in that battle.

Now that Eldrin (Person Name) had finally found a rare moment of leisure, it was only natural for him to settle old scores.

At this thought, Eldrin said with a smile, "The 5 Venoms Young Master has been hiding in the 100 Venoms Mountain Range all these years, sheltering under the 5 Venoms Old Ancestor’s wing. There’s no way he can escape."

"I'm heading to the Northern Glacial Plains first to take down the Glacier Fiend Elder."

Deep within the arctic tundra of the extreme north.

The world was vast and boundless, cloaked in endless white snow.

Within this eternally frozen glacier, it has been a forbidden realm of heaven and earth since time immemorial.

As early as several 1000 years ago, this glacier was home to primordial spirit demonic cultivators such as the Ancient Glacier Fiend and the Snow Soul Fiend, whose prestige could be said to be utterly unrivaled.

In those days, the 2 fiends of Glacier and Snow Soul plagued the world, running rampant across the polar ice plains without restraint. Countless cultivators were refined by them into demonic treasures.

For thousands of years, Eldrin had risen from the chaotic world, and since then, the Kunpeng lineage had lain dormant in the depths of the Northern Ming Sea, no longer contending for this realm of the extreme northern icy plains.

Moreover, with the demise of the Snow Soul Old Demon in the great calamity, the sole remaining Glacier Old Demon grew even more fearful of causing chaos.

The Glacier Old Demon, wary of Eldrin's formidable reputation, once sought refuge with the extraterrestrial demon gods, hoping to borrow the power of the outer demons to fend off Eldrin.

Alas, though formidable, that Eldrin (Person Name) led his followers to annihilate the extraterrestrial demons in merely a 1000 years. Only 1 or 2 managed to flee for their lives, yet they could no longer pose any meaningful threat.

After the annihilation of the Demon God, the Ancient Glacier Demon was seized with overwhelming terror. It is said he fled deep into the primordial wilderness at the edge of the world, desperate to escape the pursuit of Eldrin (Person Name).

Little did he expect that he had never even caught Eldrin’s (Person Name) eye. At that time, Eldrin (Person Name) was preoccupied with enhancing his own power to prepare for the next Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss, and could not even spare the effort to hunt him down.

The Glacier Old Demon had concealed himself in the remote edges of heaven and earth for over a 1000 years. Upon realizing that Eldrin (Person Name) showed no intention of settling accounts with him, he stealthily returned to the extreme northern glaciers. There, he remained self-confined for thousands of years, never to emerge again.

"Why do I have this heart-pounding, soul-shaking feeling?"

That day, as the Glacier Elder Demon cultivated within the glacial depths, a sudden inexplicable dread seized him—an overwhelming premonition of calamity descending upon him.

His heart inexplicably skipped a beat as he instantly sensed grave danger. In that very moment, he shot skyward, seeking to tear through the void and make his escape.

"It's too late!"

Just then, a gentle voice drifted over.

In the blink of an eye, the void seemed to freeze at the sound, as a brilliantly dazzling sword light swept forth.

Before this overwhelming power, the millennia of bitter cultivation that the Glacier Old Demon had painstakingly accumulated were torn asunder in an instant, as easily as a blade slicing through parchment.

He didn’t even have time to activate his myriad demonic treasures and supernatural abilities. The Glacier Iron Corpse, which he had relied upon to dominate the world, never had the chance to be summoned before his head was severed.

"What a swift sword!"

Before his final breath, the thoughts of the Glacier Old Demon flashed through his mind.

His head flew into the void, only to glimpse the snow-robed figure treading across the sky—from beginning to end, it never so much as glanced his way.

"He has attained immortality?"

The Glacier Old Devil was bewildered, but before he could find an answer, his primordial spirit had already been annihilated by the sword intent.

Eldrin strolled forth, his expression remarkably serene. To him now, slaying a Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage demonic cultivator with a single strike of his sword was no longer a feat worthy of pride.

His footsteps landed within the glacier old demon's cave abode, yet Eldrin's brow twitched slightly as he summoned a demonic sword. "It seems this journey holds some unexpected gains."

"This is..."

Gazing at the demonic sword, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) felt a flicker of recognition in her eyes and couldn't help but chuckle. "To think it was actually them."

Before them lay the renowned demonic path's ultimate treasure, the Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure). From within it emanated a wisp of aura from a heavenly demon beyond this realm, which felt strikingly familiar to both of them.

This aura could be considered an old acquaintance—it originated from the Demon Clan's Holy Maiden, who had once been a formidable rival to Eldrin (Person Name).

In the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm over 2 1000 years ago, this Demon Saintess had caused immense trouble for the Nascent Soul Dao Lords of the Violet Realm, nearly breaching the outer 4 Symbols Star Palaces.

Had it not been for Eldrin's (Person Name) heroic efforts turning the tide, the Violet Realm might never have survived that great calamity back then.

At this thought, Eldrin shook his head with a faint smile. "When we shattered the extraterrestrial demons back then, only 2 Nascent Soul demonic cultivators managed to escape with their lives."

"1 was the Demon of Wind and Thunder Wings, and the other was this Saintess of the Demon Clan."

"The Demon Clan's Holy Maiden has a close connection with the Outer Realm Demon God. Since there is a wisp of her aura within the Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure), it is time to capture her."

At this point, Eldrin immediately retrieved the supreme treasure Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and activated the Great Deduction of Yin-Yang Stars Dao to begin tracing the aura of the Demon Clan's Saintess.

But a mere moment later, he let out a soft exclamation of surprise, then put away the Celestial Mechanism Tower and declared, "Finally, I’ve found you."

As the words faded, Eldrin wasted no time. He immediately tore through the void and departed—heading precisely toward the Eastern Wastelands.

No 1 knew how much time had passed before Eldrin returned to the Eastern Wastelands. Gazing upon the towering forbidden realm before him, he could not help but let out a sigh.

"I still remember that year, atop this Divine Fall Ridge, was where the Eldrin and I first met."

Little did I expect that upon returning to this familiar place today, it would be for the purpose of vanquishing demons and eradicating evil.
