Chapter 1032 : Clash of Immortals and Divine Beasts
The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor [the sovereign ruler of the divine eagle demon race] wore an icy expression. With a flick of his sleeve, he immediately summoned and hurled a Crimson Flame Divine Spear [a divine-grade spear blazing with crimson fire] straight at his target.
Simultaneously, the Grand Elder of the Divine Eagle [the most senior elder of the divine eagle clan] transformed into a streak of rainbow light and shot toward the volcano's crater, clearly intending to seize the opportunity to snatch the Pure Yang Fruit [a legendary fruit brimming with pure Yang energy].
"Flee! Now!"
In that very instant, the Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal renowned for his mastery over refining the void] paled, his expression shifting to one of frantic alarm.
With a swift motion of his sleeve, he summoned a divine furnace wreathed in flames and sent it flying forth to intercept the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor.
This divine furnace was named the 'Void-Refining Furnace' [a legendary furnace capable of refining the essence of the void]. It was the Lifebound Immortal Treasure [an immortal treasure bound to its master's very life force] of the Void-Refining Immortal, a treasure cultivated in unison with his very life essence.
Unfortunately, the Void-Refining Immortal had only recently broken through to the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm [the middle stage of the Ascendant Immortal cultivation realm] and had not yet succeeded in elevating this treasure to a higher grade.
In contrast, the crimson flame divine spear was a formidable High Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest grade within the immortal tier]. Judging by its lethal aura, its piercing power was sufficient to transfix both immortals and deities, possessing a terrifying, god-slaying force.
Such a vast disparity in power caused the Void-Refining Furnace to be sent hurtling backward in an instant.
With his Lifebound Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure intrinsically linked to its master's vitality] struck away, the Void-Refining Immortal paled slightly, a clear sign that he had suffered a backlash from the connection being severed. Access the full story on AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.
His face flushed crimson as he forcibly channeled his Immortal Essence [the refined energy of an immortal] once more, determined to block Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor today.
With a single glance, Eldrin Chen understood that Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title signifying mastery over void] was attempting the impossible, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Thus, he took a single step forward, placing himself before Void-Refining Immortal, and with a casual gesture summoned thunder and lightning. A bolt of Five-Colored Divine Thunder [a divine thunder technique imbued with the power of five elements] roared forth to strike.
In the blink of an eye, the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme divine thunder technique of pure yang and the five elements] descended from the sky, striking with such force that it sent the Crimson Flame Divine Spear [a divine spear blazing with crimson flames] flying sideways.
Having accomplished this, Eldrin Chen remained utterly composed. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a radiant divine light of five colors], directing its beam towards the mouth of the volcano.
The Grand Elder of the Divine Eagle, who had just flown towards the volcanic crater intending to seize the Pure Yang Fruit [a spiritual fruit of pure yang essence], found the Five-Colored Divine Radiance enveloping the area. In an instant, every last Pure Yang Fruit was swept away.
Enraged by the theft of the immortal fruit right from his grasp, the Grand Elder of the Divine Eagle trembled with fury, while Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's gaze turned icy and murderous.
Crimson flames of Qi [the vital energy that flows through all living things] swirled around the Emperor's form as an aura of terrifying, soul-chilling power erupted. "You dare divide your attention while facing me?"
"Blazing Fire Heaven-Destroying Wheel!"
With a roar that shook the heavens, Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor shot into the sky, summoning forth a magnificent treasure wheel.
Then, a treasure wheel wreathed in Crimson Flame Qi [a potent spiritual energy imbued with the essence of crimson fire] soared into the sky. It unleashed a torrent of divine flames that cascaded downwards, seeking to suppress Eldrin Chen.
This Blazing Fire Heaven-Destroying Wheel [a wheel-shaped magical artifact of immense destructive power] was exceedingly precious, a High Grade Immortal Treasure [a top-tier artifact of immortal rank] forged by Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor at tremendous cost, capable of unleashing the Crimson Flame Heaven-Scorching Fire [a divine technique of all-consuming crimson flame].
It was said that at the moment of its birth, the cataclysmic divine flames it emitted even annihilated a Great Thousand World [a vast, self-contained realm within the cosmos], earning it the reputation of a world-ender and thus the name 'Heaven-Destroying Wheel'.
Faced with such terrifying heaven-scorching flames, Eldrin Chen's gaze sharpened instantly. He channeled forth his Primordial Chaos True Qi [a supreme defensive technique born from the primordial energies of creation].
The Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural technique] renowned as the foremost defense in the Purple Realm [a major realm of existence] now manifested its power within the Immortal Realm [the realm of immortal beings]. The protective aura of Primordial Unity [the state of perfect harmony with primordial chaos] enveloped everything, remaining utterly unscathed despite the relentless incineration of the Heaven-Destroying Flame.
"A formidable Divine Ability, and such profound Immortal Essence [the refined energy core of an immortal being]," came the grudging acknowledgment.
Seeing his Heaven-Destroying Flame fail to breach the Primordial Chaos True Qi, Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's expression twisted with shock, fury, and a cold sneer.
With a flick of his sleeve, he brandished the Crimson Flame Divine Spear [a divine spear blazing with crimson fire]. With a resonant *clang*, he took a single, decisive step forward, thrusting the spear with peerless, devastating force.
"BREAK—!"
A thunderous explosion echoed. Although the Primordial Chaos True Qi was the premier Defensive Divine Ability [a supreme defensive technique] of the Mortal Realm [the realm of mortal cultivators], and had been elevated by Eldrin Chen to the ranks of Immortal Rank [techniques of immortal grade]...
Even when placed within the Immortal Rank Divine Abilities, it could only be considered superior, not yet having reached the true pinnacle. Furthermore, with Eldrin Chen's Immortal Essence [the refined energy of an immortal] being insufficient, its might ultimately had its limits.
Now, simultaneously assaulted by two High Grade Immortal Treasure [a top-tier enchanted artifact of immortal rank], the Primordial Chaos True Qi [a divine ability manifesting the primal energy of creation] shattered with a resounding crack, instantly torn open.
"Die—!"
Seeing the Primordial Chaos True Qi breached, Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor seized the opportunity. With a furious roar, he thrust his crimson spear, aiming to pierce through Eldrin Chen in a single, decisive strike.
A High Grade Immortal Treasure of this caliber inherently wielded the Crimson Flame Law [a divine law embodying the principle of scorching crimson flame], capable of heaven-rending, earth-sundering destruction. Should it pierce Eldrin Chen's chest, even if he escaped with his life, he would suffer grievous, crippling wounds.

Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title meaning 'Refiner of the Void'] cried out in alarm and fury, wishing to intervene. Yet, locked in combat with the Grand Elder of the Divine Eagle, he found himself utterly unable to disengage in that critical moment.
In that fleeting instant, the void fell into an abrupt, profound stillness.
Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's crimson spear shot forth like a meteor. A cataclysmic tide of heaven-scorching flame swallowed everything, obscuring the scene within from all onlookers.
Yet, after that momentary silence, the vast Celestial Fire [divine flames of heavenly origin] erupted violently outward, revealing the spectacle hidden at its heart.
Within the boundless, surging inferno, Eldrin Chen grasped the Crimson Flame Divine Spear in a single, decisive motion. His physical form became enveloped by an infinite radiance of Primordial Chaos Radiance [a divine light embodying the primordial, undifferentiated state of creation].
Shrouded by this Primordial Chaos Radiance, even as the Heaven-Destroying Flame [a divine flame capable of annihilating celestial realms] and the Heaven-Scorching Law [the Dao principle of incinerating the heavens] assailed his body, he sustained only minor injuries.
"To think of slaying this venerable one? It is not enough!"
In a Ksana-time [an infinitesimal moment], the pupils of Eldrin Chen blazed with light. His Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a physique forged from the indestructible essence of primordial chaos] erupted with a world-shaking radiance, unleashing wave upon wave of the Primordial Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation] aura.
With a savage wrench, he tore the Crimson Flame Divine Spear from his foe's grasp. With a resounding *clang*, he drove it straight through the shoulder of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor.
"Aaaargh—!"
Caught completely off guard, the emperor suffered a grievous wound.
In a fury of shock and rage, the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor revealed his true form. He transformed into a divine eagle whose wings blotted out the sky, its colossal Law Power [the power derived from comprehending and wielding a fundamental law of the Dao] surging forth to drown the world.
This Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor possessed formidable strength. His Immortal Essence [the refined, immortal-grade energy cultivated by high-level immortals] and Law Power were exceptionally potent, and his Heaven-Destroying Flame could incinerate even gods and immortals.
Alas, the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body of Eldrin Chen was far too astonishing. It could suppress all manner of alien Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles that govern reality and cultivation]. Any injuries he sustained were rapidly healed under the bolstering power of the Law of Life [the Dao principle governing vitality and regeneration].
Even in a one-on-one duel, Eldrin Chen harbored no fear of Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor. Now, with the latter grievously wounded due to his own carelessness and his power greatly diminished, the outcome was even less in doubt.
Gripping the Crimson Flame Divine Spear firmly, Eldrin Chen unleashed a relentless barrage of techniques. For a time, his assault drove Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor back step by step.
Having suffered successive heavy blows, Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor could endure no more. His expression turned icy as he finally broke and fled.
Seeing his sovereign flee, Grand Elder of the Divine Eagle wasted no time lingering. In an instant, he too turned and followed in desperate retreat.
With the two great foes departed, Void-Refining Immortal approached. Observing that Eldrin Chen's injuries were not severe, he inquired, "Shall we pursue?"
"There is no need."
Eldrin Chen shook his head, maintaining his firm suppression of the Crimson Flame Divine Spear. His gaze then turned toward the depths of the void.
There, several hidden Immortal [beings who have ascended to a higher state of existence beyond mortality] gave him slight, acknowledging nods before swiftly withdrawing from the scene.
Only after the spectators had all departed did Eldrin Chen fully secure his hold on the spear. "The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor is no weakling," he stated. "While I was confident in suppressing him, ending his life was a certainty beyond my grasp."
Void-Refining Immortal regarded him, a note of complex reflection and admiration in his gaze. "I believed your strength was on par with my own, yet it seems I still underestimated you."
"You flatter me, Senior."
Eldrin Chen shook his head and spoke calmly, "In terms of the depth of my Immortal Essence [the refined energy core of an immortal], I am far inferior to him. As for Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts wielded by immortals] and techniques, I fall even shorter."
"The reason I could prevail today is due to the unique nature of my Immortal Physique [the divinely tempered body of an immortal cultivator], which can counter various heterodox Laws of the Dao [profound principles and powers derived from the fundamental Dao]."
Eldrin Chen spoke with composure, his expression one of serene calm.
His physical body had been tempered by three distinct forces—the Thunder Pool, the glacial ice, and the Galewind's Eye [a mysterious object of immense power]—while his five viscera had absorbed vast quantities of Five Elements Qi [spiritual essence embodying the powers of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth]. The resulting Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique forged from the energies of primordial chaos] possessed astonishing defensive capabilities.
This Immortal Physique countered all manner of heterodox Laws of the Dao. Even the devastating power of the Heaven-Destroying Flame [a divine ability of cataclysmic fiery power] could not inflict serious wounds upon him, a testament to the formidable nature of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.
