Chapter 1133 : Clash of Immortals and Demons

Simultaneously, seizing the opportunity presented by the three-way great battle, the various Demon Race and the Star Spirit Race had already clashed in a great war upon the Sacred Mountain.

The Star Spirit Lineage, having suffered heavy losses previously, still retained two Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators, granting them the upper hand in strength.

Led by these two Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm powerhouses, the nine Ascension Immortal RealmStar Spirit of the Star Spirit Race joined forces, intending to surround and slay the True Demon.

To wash away their previous disgrace, they had even prepared an Immortal Rank Trapping Formation [a powerful formation designed to trap and isolate enemies], temporarily partitioning this battlefield. They soon pressed the five True Demon into a steady retreat.

With such calculated preparation against an unprepared foe, the Star Spirit Race indeed achieved results; one after another, True Demon fell upon the battlefield.

By the time the two Demonic Ship [warships of the demonic forces] from the Demon Race breached the trapping formation, two True Demon had already perished in the conflict.

The remaining few True Demon, seeing they were no match, hastily fled into the two Demonic Ship, relying on the vessels' power to resist their formidable enemies.

The Demonic Ship proved worthy of their reputation as engines of war; their defensive formations were truly extraordinary. Sheltered by the two ships, they managed to hold off the assaults of the Star Spirit Race.

Moreover, with the aid of these two war-Demonic Ship, even the combined might of the nine immortal deities of the Star Spirit Race found it difficult to inflict the slightest harm upon them.

"It seems this will be a protracted and grueling battle," one might observe. Original publication: audio-novel . com - The source of this chapter.

Eldrin Chen murmured, his serene countenance revealing a trace of solemnity.

This battle indeed unfolded as he had foreseen. The two sides clashed within the void, and in the blink of an eye, the struggle had raged for three full years.

By the end, the Star Spirit Lineage had suffered losses exceeding half its forces, while the Demon Race Army had been decimated, with seven or eight out of every ten warriors slain—a toll both sides found difficult to bear.

"We cannot drag this out any longer."

High in the void, the Blood SpringAncient Ancestor gazed upon the stalemated battlefield, his expression growing heavy with concern.

In this conflict, the Demon Race was fighting on hostile ground. Despite committing their entire race's strength and a vast fleet of Treasure Ship, they had gradually been forced onto the defensive.

Now, nearly nine-tenths of the Demon Race Army and their Demonic Ship had been destroyed. Only two Immortal Rank colossal vessels remained, standing firm as unshakable mountains. Yet, once the Demon Race Army was utterly annihilated, relying solely on those two Demonic Ship would leave them isolated and vulnerable.

After all, the Star Spirit Lineage possessed profound and ancient reserves. It was not impossible that they held a Deep-Seated Foundation [a hidden, ultimate trump card or weapon] capable of breaching even an Immortal RankDemonic Ship.

With this thought, the Blood SpringAncient Ancestor finally spoke, "Brother Frost Malignancy, we must hold nothing back. If we delay further, we risk being surrounded and overwhelmed."

"Agreed!"

Frost Malignancy Elder Demon nodded and immediately spoke, "To slay the Star Deity [a powerful celestial being], we must first shatter the Star Vein [the vital energy channel of a star]."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's expression grew solemn. Having observed the battle for three years, he understood the current state of the conflict all too well.

The true outcome of this war would ultimately be decided by the three supreme Immortals [beings who have transcended mortality] battling high above in the Firmament [the highest heavens].

Both Frost Malignancy Elder Demon and Hemlock the Elder Demon were supreme Immortals at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle of the Immortal Ascension Realm]. Their combat prowess each rivaled that of ten ordinary Immortals, far surpassing any typical Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [cultivator] cultivator.

The Star Deity possessed boundless, formidable power. Though grievously wounded, bolstered by a damaged World-Opening Treasure [a legendary artifact of creation] and the protection of three thousand great stars, it still managed to firmly suppress the two demons.

Logically, this Star Deity, critically injured and on the brink of death, should have long been incapable of taking action. Its ability to fight now was utterly unexpected.

The fundamental reason was that the Star Deity was borrowing a certain power from within the Verdant Spirit Ancient Star [an ancient celestial body] to temporarily suppress its internal injuries.

That power was the Star Vein of the Verdant Spirit Ancient Star, also known as the star's Source of the Stars [the primordial wellspring of stellar energy].

Once deprived of the aid from the Source of the Stars, the Star Deity would be unable to contain its wounds any longer.

At that point, even without the two demons striking, merely by avoiding its desperate onslaught, the Star Deity would perish from the backlash of its failed attempt to break through to the Earth Immortal [a higher, terrestrial immortal realm].

Eldrin Chen could see through this, and the two ancient demons, cunning as they were, naturally could as well.

While fending off the attacks from the Star Deity [the supreme being of the Star Spirit Race], Hemlock the Elder Demon spoke with utmost gravity, "Even at the cost of destroying both Treasure Ship [massive enchanted warships], you and I must shatter the Star Vein [the planet's core spiritual artery]."

"Then let us act."

As the words of the Frost Malignancy Elder Demon fell, the Frost Malignancy Demon Ship surged forth, crushing all in its path like a falling star, charging directly towards the Sacred Mountain [the holy peak of the Star Spirit Race].

Witnessing the Demonic Ship [a generic term for demonic warships] cleave through the heavens, the members of the Star Spirit Race [a race of beings born from stellar essence] paled with horror.

That Sacred Mountain was the very core of the Star Vein on the Verdant Spirit Ancient Star [an ancient planet imbued with verdant spiritual energy]. It was not only the key to the Star Deity's desperate survival but also the very womb from which the Star Spirit Race was born. Original English translation available at www . audio-novel.com.

This lineage could not naturally bear offspring. If the core of the Star Vein were destroyed, the entire Star Spirit Race upon the Verdant Spirit Ancient Star would be rendered barren, never again able to give birth to new star spirits.

"Hold them back!"

The Grand Elder of the Star Spirit Race roared in fury, charging forth with reckless abandon to block the path of the Frost Soul Demon Ship.

Yet both Demonic Ship were weapons of war of the highest order. Even an existence at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle of the Ascension to Immortality realm] would find it difficult, if not impossible, to destroy them.

Although the Star Spirit Race possessed nine Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality and attained immortality], before the Demonic Ship [a colossal vessel powered by demonic energy], they were as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly incapable of halting its advance.

Seeing the situation turn dire, several Star Spirit [celestial beings born from the essence of stars] disregarded their own peril and threw their physical forms before the Demonic Ship, seeking to block it with their stellar bodies.

"Overestimating your strength."

As the Star Spirit confronted the Demonic Ship, Frost Malignancy Elder Demon let out a cold sneer.

Then, from the two Treasure Ship [powerful enchanted vessels], billions of Demon Race [a race of malevolent beings] in unison activated the Formation [a complex array that channels and amplifies energy], unleashing a world-shaking killing array.

In that instant, two Star Spirit were reduced to ashes by a crimson light, and another was cleaved in two by a blade of frosty, malign energy.

The remaining Star Spirit were grievously wounded and fled in utter terror.

"Ah—!"

In the blink of an eye, three Star Spirit had fallen. The Grand Elder of the Star Spirits's face contorted with shock and fury.

Watching the two Demonic Ship press forward relentlessly, his expression shifted from alarm to grim resolve. He finally stepped forward and declared, "Do not retreat! Today, even if we must die, we shall hold back these two Demonic Ship."

As his words fell, Grand Elder of the Star Spirits withdrew a Talisman with a pained expression.

It was an unfathomably profound Talisman, its entire form a dark gold hue, with a surging aura of a Demon Immortal [a demonic being who has ascended to immortality] hidden within.

As Grand Elder of the Star Spirits channeled his power, one rune of law after another blossomed forth, ultimately coalescing into a dazzlingly brilliant sword of heavenly law.

"Disaster! The Heaven-Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword Talisman!"

In that instant, the several True Demon [powerful, high-ranking demons] present all underwent a drastic change in expression, their faces instantly contorting with terror as they frantically tried to turn their Demonic Ship around to flee.

Alas, it was already too late. In a flash, that sword of law annihilated everything in its path, shredding the Frost Malignancy Demon Ship to pieces in the space of a single breath.

Even one of the True Demon aboard was instantly reduced to ashes by the tribulation, not even his Divine Soul [the immortal spiritual core of a high-level cultivator] managing to escape.

This Heaven-Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword Talisman was an ancient Treasure Talisman [a powerful, single-use enchanted seal] from the Demon Race Celestial Court, considered a rather fine treasure even within that august institution.

Generally, only Demon Immortal who had performed great meritorious deeds, or Star Deity and Celestial Generals of the Demon Court at the Earth Immortal [an immortal realm tied to the earthly plane] level, were deemed worthy of being bestowed such a treasure.

This treasure contained within it the Heaven-Opening Rule Power [the primordial power of law used to cleave apart chaos and establish heaven and earth], making it a supreme treasure of the World-Opening Grade [a legendary grade of power associated with the creation of worlds].

In terms of offensive power, the might this treasure can unleash is sufficient to severely wound, or even slay, a Heaven-Opening Ancient Ancestor [a cultivator who has reached the pinnacle of the Ascension to Immortality realm, capable of challenging the heavens themselves].

That Frost Malignancy Demon Ship [a colossal warship forged by demonic powers] was a weapon of war, powered by the combined might of countless millions of Demon Race [a race of beings born from chaos and malevolent energies] channeling a Formation [a structured array that harnesses and amplifies energy]. Its defensive capabilities surpassed even those of a cultivator at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the final stage before transcending mortality].

Yet, when the Star Spirit Race [a celestial race born from the essence of stars] unleashed the Sword Talisman [a talisman containing the condensed power of a divine sword strike] to cleave down, the Treasure Ship [a generic term for a powerful enchanted vessel], along with the countless millions of Demon Race, was utterly reduced to ashes.

"Grand Elder!"

Witnessing the Demonic Ship [a ship crafted and powered by demonic forces] being breached, the various Star Spirit [ethereal beings of stellar origin] had no time for exultation before expressions of anguish twisted their features once more.
