Chapter 1117 : Divine Eagle's Desperate Flight

"Flee."

The moment the grand formation shattered, a cold dread gripped the heart of Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor.

Seeing the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords Union cleaving down upon him with overwhelming force, he instantly transformed into a streak of rainbow light, darting away towards the outskirts of Immortal Island.

"Wretched fiend, you shall not escape!"

In that very instant, Lyra Jiang flicked her sleeve, unleashing a Five-Colored Divine Radiance that shot forth to envelop the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor.

At this life-or-death moment, the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor had no choice. He recklessly forced his Lifebound Essence Blood [the vital blood essence bound to a cultivator's life force], paying a tremendous price to violently twist his body, narrowly evading the attack by a hair's breadth.

Seeing this, Verdant Consort and the others naturally would not let him escape with his life. They all summoned their Immortal Treasure [a supreme-grade enchanted artifact wielded by Immortals] and unleashed their Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power], launching a barrage of assaults.

For a time, five or six Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality] attacked relentlessly, leaving the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor with nowhere to flee.

The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor managed, by the slimmest of margins, to dodge several Immortal Treasure, but was ultimately pierced by Lila's Frost Soul Chilling Radiance Sword, wounding his Immortal Physique [the immortal body of a cultivator who has ascended].

In that instant, an extreme Yin [the passive, dark, cold principle in nature] and frigid Frost Soul power penetrated to the very marrow, seeming to freeze even his Divine Soul [the elevated spiritual core of an immortal cultivator]. This chapter appears courtesy of audi novel.com.

"Ah!"

As the Frost Soul Law [a profound law of ice and soul] was about to freeze his immortal soul, the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor let out a furious roar. The overwhelming Crimson Flame Qi [a type of spiritual energy imbued with the essence of crimson flame] surrounding his body surged violently, blazing forth as if intending to incinerate the very Firmament [the heavens, the sky] and melt away the power of the frost soul.

Truly worthy of being a peerless Demon Immortal [a demonic being who has ascended to immortality] at the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the final stage before becoming a true immortal], even grievously wounded, he could momentarily suppress the Frost Soul Law.

Having suppressed the Frost Soul Law, the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor instantly transformed into a streak of rainbow light, attempting to flee once more. Alas, it was already too late.

For in the void above, a Primordial Chaos Giant Hand [a divine ability manifesting a colossal hand of primordial chaos] descended, blotting out the sky and eclipsing the sun. Wherever it passed, all things trembled, and the very fabric of heaven and earth was suppressed.

"My fate is sealed!"

The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor felt his heart plummet, knowing he possessed no power left to reverse the heavens.

Without any suspense, the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor was utterly suppressed by Eldrin Chen using the Chaos Grasping Hand [the grasping hand of chaos, another name for the Primordial Chaos Giant Hand]. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his immortal soul was completely extinguished, with only a wisp of his Divine Soul [the divine essence of a soul] entering the cycle of Netherworld Reincarnation [the underworld's cycle of rebirth].

However, the Second Elder of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Clan proved more cunning. Seizing the moment when everyone was focused on besieging the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor, he managed to escape.

Eldrin Chen did not order pursuit, stopping those who wished to give chase. "The Second Elder of the Divine Eagle Clan has cultivated for several hundred thousand years yet remains stuck at the Early Stage Ascendant Immortal Realm [the initial stage of the Ascendant Immortal realm]. This alone shows he is not a threat worth our concern."

"Our most pressing task is to fully secure Crimson Flame Island and establish the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation upon it. That is the proper course."

"Agreed."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately soared onto Crimson Flame Island.

The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Clan had dominated Crimson Flame Island for many years, breeding a population of three hundred thousand pure-blooded descendants of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Clan.

These Crimson Blood Divine Eagle reach Nascent Soul cultivation upon adulthood, and with moderate effort in their cultivation, they can advance to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Their combat prowess ranks among the powerful even within Demonic Beast [powerful creatures that cultivate demonic energy], making them exceptionally gifted.

Furthermore, the Crimson Flame Roc possess the potential for Ascending to Immortality [transcending mortality to become an immortal being], and their flight speed is extremely swift. Whether cultivated as Mountain Guarding Divine Beast [divine beasts tasked with guarding a sect or clan's territory] or used as mounts for one's followers, they are an excellent choice.

Many Nascent Soul Immortal Clan [immortal clans led by a Nascent Soul cultivator] within the Immortal Realm [the realm where immortals reside], or other Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality] factions, would likely be willing to purchase these Crimson Flame Roc.

Since the battle began, many Crimson Flame Roc had escaped, yet over two hundred thousand remained within the Immortal Island [an island inhabited by immortals]. The assembled Immortal naturally would not let them go.

Moreover, upon Crimson Flame Immortal Island, there were also immortal treasures such as the Scripture Repository [a library or vault containing cultivation manuals and scriptures] and the Spirit Medicine Garden [a garden cultivating spiritually potent herbs and plants]. The group was naturally eager to claim them.

Thus, they all took action. Verdant Consort went to secure control of the Scripture Repository, Lyra Jiang headed for the Spirit Medicine Garden, while the rest set about capturing the Crimson Flame Roc.

They labored ceaselessly for the better part of a day, capturing over one hundred thousand Crimson Flame Roc before the situation was finally and firmly stabilized.

During this time, Eldrin Chen deployed a pre-prepared immortal formation upon Crimson Flame Island.

This formation was named the Blazing Flame Heaven-Destroying Grand Formation. It was a High-Grade Immortal Formation he had refined using the Blazing Flame Heaven-Destroying Wheel as its core, held in reserve specifically for use after seizing Crimson Flame Island.

Having been deployed in haste over a single day, the Formation could only muster roughly fifty to sixty percent of its full power, but this was sufficient for the immediate need.

However, as the formation was hastily erected, it would need to be dismantled and meticulously re-established later to unleash its maximum potential.

To return to the main thread, shortly after Eldrin Chen set up the Formation, several imposing figures of the Six Paths realm soared through the skies towards them. Access the full story on audio—novel.com.

At their forefront was a figure clad in crimson battle armor, gripping a spear of divine gold, who descended like a celestial general from the Nine Heavens. This was none other than the Crimson Dragon Scion, whose might shook the Crimson Dragon Sea.

"Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a cultivator of similar attainment], you have arrived a step too late."

Upon seeing the newcomers, Eldrin Chen ascended calmly into the sky to meet them.

The Crimson Dragon Scion's pupils contracted slightly, his gaze locking onto Eldrin Chen with an intensity that held a flicker of overwhelming killing intent.

Yet in the span of a single breath, he reined that killing intent back in.

His gaze swept across the seven Immortals [beings who have ascended to the immortal realm] present upon Crimson Flame Island, his expression icy as he gave a cold snort. Without uttering a single word, he finally turned and departed.

The six Dragon Race [a powerful race of draconic demons] Immortals had arrived swiftly, and their departure was just as abrupt.

Following behind Crimson Dragon Scion, the Crimson Dragon First Prince asked, his face etched with a profound chill, "Father, why did we not attack?"

"Attack? It is not so simple a matter."

Crimson Dragon Scion shook his head, a flicker of apprehension in his eyes. "In the battle today, the Chen Clan alone fielded seven Immortals."

"If we add those who remained to guard Green Chariot Island, the Chen Clan possesses at least eight Immortals."

"Faced with such formidable strength, even a fight to the death would likely end in mutual ruin."

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Dragon First Prince's expression shifted subtly.

The Crimson Dragon Lineage [the lineage and faction of the Crimson Dragon] itself now numbered only seven Demon Immortals [demonic beings who have attained immortality]. In a true confrontation with the Chen Clan, they might not hold the upper hand after all.

Contemplating this, he sighed and said, "Even though the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor [the ruler of the divine eagle demon race] has lost two of his guardian Magical Treasure [enchanted artifacts used by cultivators] and suffered grievous wounds, he was, after all, an existence at the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the final stage before achieving true immortality].

"To think he would fall right before the gates of his own mountain sect, unable to even flee for his life... this truly shows that Eldrin, the Abyss [a title for Eldrin Chen, referencing his profound and unfathomable power] is not to be underestimated."

Speaking to this point, the Crimson Dragon First Prince [the eldest prince of the crimson dragon lineage] continued with a calm expression, "However, the Crimson Flame Golden Scale Armor [a legendary suit of armor forged from golden dragon scales and crimson flame] has been drawing upon the Immortal Source Vein [a primeval ley line of immense spiritual power] for many years and has already repaired some of its damage."

"Perhaps in a few more years, it will be ready to emerge once more."

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Dragon Scion [a title for the son of the Crimson Dragon Ancient Ancestor] could not help but reveal a gleam of sharp light in his eyes.

As the direct son of the Crimson Dragon Ancient Ancestor [the progenitor of the crimson dragon demon lineage], he was the only one in this world who understood the Crimson Flame Golden Scale Armor well enough. He knew this supreme treasure was far more than just a mere Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest classification of immortal-grade magical artifacts].

With this thought, the Crimson Dragon Scion gave a slight nod.

Since matters had reached this point, the two of them did not dwell on the subject any further.

The Crimson Dragon First Prince then seemed to recall something else and proposed, "By my reckoning, it has been over a thousand years since our third brother entered the world. It is time for him to descend the mountain, seek experience, and grasp the opportunity for Ascending to Immortality [the final breakthrough to achieve true immortal status]."

"Agreed."

Crimson Dragon Scion [the title of a powerful dragon descendant] nodded upon hearing this. His third son possessed the constitution of an Acquired Yi Wood Azure Dragon [a powerful dragon lineage associated with the Wood element], a talent and aptitude that could be considered superior even among the Immortal Descendants [descendants of powerful immortal beings].

Yet, as the saying goes, jade must be carved to become a vessel. Relying on innate talent alone merely cultivates a flower within a greenhouse. Only by weathering storms and trials can one truly forge their own strength.

Although Crimson Dragon Scion doted on his child, he also hoped the youth would temper himself through hardship and ultimately achieve Ascending to Immortality [the ultimate goal of cultivation, transcending mortality to become an immortal], thereby becoming a powerful ally who could lend him a hand.
