Chapter 1091 : Clash of Ancestral Treasures
All present revealed expressions of shock. This Yin-Yang Aurora Sword was the famed supreme treasure of Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor.
The sword's body was forged from a piece of Celestial Foreign Iron. Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor had chanced upon this precious material and used it to forge the Sword Embryo [the nascent form of a magical sword], then refined the North-South Polar Auroras [the primal lights of the celestial poles] from the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain into the blade.
It was said that once forged, this sword was not only peerless in its sharpness, but when activated, it could unleash the power of the Yin-Yang Polar Light [a light capable of severing all things], making it a masterpiece even among Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure.
Now, the Yin-Yang Aurora Sword suddenly blazed to life. In a Ksana-time [an infinitesimal moment], it released a dazzling Yin-Yang Polar Light, cleaving directly towards the assembled cultivators. With a single flash, it bisected the Old Monk at the waist.
"*Clang—*"
At the same moment, the might of Eldrin Chen's Heavenly Separated Twin Swords Union finally succeeded in slaying Sylas Ye, the Immortal.
Turning back, he saw the Old Monk's fate hanging in the balance. Without hesitation, he channeled his power, causing the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords to transform into twin streaks of light that shot forth, aiming a devastating slash at Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor.
"Hmph. A Mayfly trying to shake a mighty tree."
Facing the assault of Eldrin Chen's Heavenly Separated Twin Swords, Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor's expression remained utterly serene.
Behind him, the Yin-Yang Qi [the primordial energies of Yin and Yang] swirled and merged. The Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl transformed into a shield of swirling Yin and Yang, protecting his entire form. He stood unflinching, utterly unfazed by the furious attacks of the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords. This novel is serialized on http://www . audio-novel.com. Visit for updates.
After blocking the others and their attacks, Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor swept his gaze around, and in a single glance, he assessed the three of them.
This Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor was not only astonishingly powerful, but his combat experience was also exceptionally shrewd. In the blink of an eye, he had formulated his strategy.
He once again channeled the Yin-Yang Aurora Sword, transforming it into a dazzling immortal radiance that cleaved towards Flora the Immortal Maiden.
"Fellow Daoists, save me!"
Flora the Immortal Maiden's face was a mask of utter terror. She desperately activated her 'Ninefold Spring Scenery' for protection while frantically retreating.
Eldrin Chen took one look, and his heart sank slightly.
Among the three remaining opponents, Eldrin Chen possessed the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords to guard his path and the Primordial Chaos True Qi to shield his body, making him one of the greatest threats to the Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor.
Zenyu the Prison-Keeper possessed the Prison-Keeping Divine Constitution [a special physique with immense power to suppress and restrain], which was highly effective against Ghost Immortal [a powerful, ethereal cultivation stage]. Furthermore, he had simultaneously comprehended Law Power [the power to manipulate fundamental cosmic laws], marking him as a Heaven's Chosen [a title for a prodigy favored by destiny] figure with a Celestial Immortal Foundation [a supreme foundation for immortal ascension]. The Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor would find it difficult to subdue him as well.
Only Flora the Immortal Maiden's Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound, underlying foundation of a cultivator's power] was slightly weaker, making her the most vulnerable link among the three.
It was clear the Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor intended to eliminate Flora the Immortal Maiden first, before dealing with Eldrin Chen and Zenyu the Prison-Keeper.
Facing such a strike, Eldrin Chen and Zenyu the Prison-Keeper naturally would not let him have his way. Eldrin Chen immediately activated the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand [a divine ability that manifests a giant hand to seize and suppress], seeking to subdue this Immortal Sword [a sword forged by or for an immortal being].
Yet, Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor merely sneered coldly. In an instant, the Yin-Yang Aurora Sword [a sword embodying the polarities of Yin and Yang, capable of splitting into twin auroras] split apart into two streams of polar light, effortlessly slipping free from the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand's suppressive grasp.
"Hmph!"
At that very moment, a cold snort echoed from the void.
Zenyu the Prison-Keeper, understanding the gravity of the situation, dared not delay in the slightest. He instantly summoned his signature Immortal Treasure [a supreme-grade enchanted artifact].
"Clang! Clatter!"
Amidst a cacophony of metallic clashing, the black-gold chains, empowered by countless Law Divine Chains [chains formed from solidified divine laws], instantly multiplied into tens of thousands of black links, surging forth to suppress the Yin-Yang Aurora Sword.
These were the Purgatory Divine Chains [Divine Chains of Purgatory], forged by Zenyu the Prison-Keeper from Netherworld Divine Iron [a rare divine metal from the underworld] and infused with the prison-suppressing Law Power [the power of a fundamental cosmic law]. They were supremely effective at restraining Ghost Immortal [a type of immortal who cultivates through ghostly or spectral means] and Demonic Monsters [monstrous beings of demonic origin].
The myriad divine chains clashed against the two auroras, erupting in shower after shower of sparks. Astonishingly, they managed to blunt a portion of the sword's formidable power.
"The Prison-Suppressing Black Chains."
"Yet this alone is insufficient."
Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor let out a cold laugh. The two beams of Yin-Yang Polar Light [the fundamental energies of Yin and Yang] converged, coalescing into the Yin-Yang Aurora Sword [a divine sword forged from the essence of the cosmic aurora].
Instantly, the might of the Yin-Yang Aurora Sword surged. Wherever it passed, the myriad chains of darkness were severed in an instant.
"Disastrous!"
Witnessing the Yin-Yang Aurora Sword's unstoppable advance, Eldrin Chen's expression tightened slightly. Without hesitation, he summoned forth the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a mystical orb that manipulates the forces of magnetic void].
In that fleeting moment, the Yin-Yang Void Realm erupted with a Yin-Yang Magnetic Light [a restraining light born from primordial magnetic forces], its radiance falling directly upon the Yin-Yang Aurora Sword. Published by audio-novel dot com. All rights reserved.
This Yin-Yang Void Realm contained the power of primordial magnetism, supremely effective at suppressing metal-attribute Immortal Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact]. It also held significant restraining power against Yin-Yang energies. To everyone's astonishment, it managed to lock the Yin-Yang Aurora Sword in place.
"A fine treasure indeed!"
Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor was taken aback, his countenance revealing a trace of gravity for the first time.
Eldrin Chen's Yin-Yang Void Realm was merely a Mid Grade Immortal Treasure [a mid-tier enchanted artifact], yet it was the perfect counter to his own Yin-Yang Aurora Sword.
The grade of the Yin-Yang Void Realm is somewhat low, being merely a Mid Grade Immortal Treasure. Had he been at the peak of his power, a mere mid-grade magnetic-type Immortal Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact used by Immortals] would have been nothing to fear.
But in his current state as a Ghost Immortal [an Immortal who has lost their physical body, existing as a spectral entity], his strength is far from what it once was. Naturally, he dared not treat it as inconsequential.
He forcefully channeled his Netherworld Qi [a potent, shadowy energy from the underworld], and the Yin-Yang Aurora Sword broke free from its restraints. Yet, it did not dare to launch another decisive strike, instead engaging the group in a protracted skirmish.
"My deepest gratitude for your lifesaving grace. This humble one shall surely repay this profound debt in the future."
Having narrowly escaped death, Flora the Immortal Maiden offered lofty words of thanks, yet she did not pause for even a moment, flying swiftly towards the exit of the Immortal Mansion [a celestial abode or palace].
A chill ran through the hearts of the other two. At the critical moment, Flora the Immortal Maiden had abandoned them to save her own skin.
"You cannot escape."
Watching Flora the Immortal Maiden attempt to flee, the Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor let out a cold, mocking laugh.
The immortal souls of the six Immortal [beings who have ascended to a higher state of existence] present were crucial to his completion of Nirvana [a state of perfect enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of rebirth]. He would never sit idly by and let Flora the Immortal Maiden escape.
He had anticipated this. With a flick of his sleeve, the Formation [a complex array or magical diagram] within the Immortal Mansion erupted with overwhelming, heaven-shaking radiance. A torrent of celestial Separated Flame [a mystical, purifying fire] cascaded down from the Firmament [the vault of heaven], ensnaring Flora the Immortal Maiden in an inescapable embrace.
The Immortal Mansion's Formation is the High Grade Separated Flame Immortal Formation. If activated by an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality], it could incinerate even a cultivator at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the peak stage just before full immortality].
Now existing as a Ghost Immortal [an immortal bound to the underworld, weaker than a true immortal], the Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor could only unleash a fraction of its power, insufficient to completely slay Flora the Immortal Maiden, but it was more than enough to block her path of retreat.
Thus, the Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor channeled another Divine Ability [a supreme mystical technique]. The Yin-Yang Immortal Mark [a sigil representing the balance of opposing cosmic forces] between his brows spun ceaselessly, transforming into a curse seal entwined with Yin-Yang Qi [the primordial energy of duality] that shot forth, hurtling directly toward Flora the Immortal Maiden.
"This is the Yin-Yang Life-Death Curse!"
Eldrin Chen's heart clenched with alarm; he instantly recognized the origin of this curse technique.
The Yin-Yang Life-Death Curse was the signature Divine Ability of the Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor, a supremely formidable curse-type Divine Ability.
This Divine Ability had been refined by the Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor to its absolute limit, hailed by the world as a Supreme Grade Immortal Dao Divine Ability [a divine ability of the highest rank within the Immortal Path].
It had already transcended the limits of the Immortal Rank [the standard classification for immortal-level abilities], reaching the level of the Pinnacle of Immortal Ascension [the absolute peak attainable before transcending the immortal realm]. With but the infusion of World-Initiating Qi [the primordial energy that gave birth to worlds], it could rightfully be called a World-Opening Divine Ability [a divine ability powerful enough to cleave open new realms].
The moment he saw this Divine Ability, Eldrin Chen knew that Flora the Immortal Maiden had no hope of survival left.
The Yin-Yang Life-Death Curse was utterly terrifying—not only a devastating offensive technique but also one capable of controlling others.
That Sylas Ye, the Immortal was most likely controlled by the Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor using the Yin-Yang Life-Death Curse [a sinister curse that manipulates the forces of life and death] during the last exploration of the ruins, luring several of them, who lacked powerful backing, from the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the final stage before transcending mortality] to come here.
"Save me, both of you!"
At this moment of life and death, Flora the Immortal Maiden revealed a look of terror. She channeled all her power into the Ninefold Spring Scenery [a magical treasure that manifests nine layers of spring-like scenery for defense] to protect herself while desperately calling for aid from the two.
Unfortunately, this time, neither Eldrin Chen nor Zenyu the Prison-Keeper made a move to intervene.
Watching Flora the Immortal Maiden tread the path to her doom, Eldrin Chen exchanged a glance with Zenyu the Prison-Keeper. In the span of a single breath, they acted in perfect, unspoken unison.
"Boom!"
In that instant, both unleashed their full might simultaneously.
Eldrin Chen poured forth his entire strength, heedless of the drain on his Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by practitioners]. He relentlessly unleashed the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords [a pair of divine swords], the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand [a divine ability that manifests a giant hand of primordial chaos energy], and even the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique harmonizing the five elements with pure yang energy]—all his formidable Divine Ability [supernatural powers and techniques]—in a furious assault upon the Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor.
