Chapter 1089. Embracing the Void with Yin and Yang

"Excellent!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Immortal Qingshu summoned a celestial blade and unleashed a strike—it was actually a superior-grade immortal treasure.

The blade's edge shone with dazzling sharpness, actually forcing the Teng Snake into a full defensive stance.

"To think that Brother Qing Shu is actually peerless with both blade and sword."

The Flower Fairy let out a silvery laugh. With a flick of her sleeve, she summoned a pink silk immortal treasure, which swept toward the Ancient Celestial Serpent and coiled tightly around its midsection.

The others exchanged a glance and instantly, with tacit understanding, launched their attacks in unison.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

The old monk summoned a string of golden prayer beads. The beads spun in an endless cycle, instantly locking around the Tengshe's throat.

Zhenyuzi let out a cold snort. 2 chains soared through the air with a metallic clatter, piercing straight through the Tengshe’s wings and firmly binding it in place.

Seeing the winged serpent writhing in agony, Eldrin summoned the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand. With a single palm strike, he seized the serpent precisely at its seventh inch, finally subduing the creature.

Excellent!

"Then let this old man test whether he can break these Golden Scales of the Teng Snake."

Seeing the Teng Snake temporarily subdued, the Daoist of Remnant Heaven finally let out a hearty laugh and activated his own divine ability.

He abruptly channeled his magic, and in an instant, his mangled left leg swelled violently, transforming into a colossal divine-demon foot that blotted out the sky as it descended to crush the Teng Snake.

"This is!"

Witnessing this scene, Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly, a trace of gravity coloring his expression.

At this moment, he finally understood that the Crippled Daoist's left leg wasn't naturally disabled—it was the result of cultivating a divine ability.

This Daoist Cantiān had ruthlessly refined various secret elixirs into his left leg using his own immortal essence. Through years of accumulated effort, he ultimately forged a left leg of unparalleled power.

The power contained within his left leg was far too immense, and the cultivation process so excruciatingly brutal, that even his own body could not endure it—ultimately leaving him with a crippling disability.

Yet after paying such a tremendous price, the crippled Heavenly Daoist cultivated this left leg into something truly extraordinary.

He was only at the Eighth Level of Ascension, yet the power unleashed by this Shattered Heaven Divine Leg surpassed even that of the Ninth Level of Ascension, rivaling 70 percent of the might of a top-grade immortal treasure.

Boom—

Just as Eldrin was lost in thought, the Heaven-Shattering Demonic Foot descended with a thunderous crash, stomping fiercely upon the Flying Serpent’s physical form.

Such a formidable strike finally pierced the Teng Snake's defenses, forcibly stomping it until blood seeped out. Many of its scales, forged as if from immortal gold, were torn away.

The Sky-Snake roared in agony, a thunderous cry of pain.

With an unprecedented surge of strength, it erupted into a violent struggle. The Flower Fairy’s pink silk ribbons, only of mid-grade immortal rank, were the first to give way—snapping apart into several pieces on the spot.

Then the old monk’s 6 prayer beads exploded 1 by 1. Even Eldrin’s Primordial Chaos Giant Hand and Zhen Yu Zi’s chains could no longer restrain him, allowing him to break free.

"Not good!"

Everyone’s expressions shifted slightly. Eldrin and Zhen Yu Zi seized the opportunity, striking almost simultaneously.

Zhenyuzi abruptly unleashed a long spear, forcefully piercing through the Tengshe at its damaged scales.

Eldrin's Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss followed in its wake, piercing through the wound into the serpent's body. The overwhelming pure yang Li fire sword energy raged uncontrollably within.

"Argh—"

The immortal sword pierced into its body, causing the Teng Snake to twist and roar in agony. It began to writhe and tumble incessantly across the heavens, its anguished cries echoing through the skies.

Yet within its physical form, the overwhelming sword energy and blazing flames continued to spread, ultimately striking directly at its 7-inch vital point.

Crack!

A piercing shriek echoed as the sword truly pierced the Tengshe's heart. The serpent wailed in agony before crashing heavily to the ground, its last breath fading into silence.

Witnessing the demise of the Tengl Snake, Immortal Qingshu approached with a faint smile and remarked, "That Tengl Snake possessed strength rivaling the Ninth Level of Ascension. For you, my worthy brother, to slay it with a single strike of your sword truly commands my admiration."

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly, vaguely sensing that Immortal Qingshu was standing a bit too close. He instinctively retreated half a step without a sound and said, "This victory was not mine alone. Everyone here contributed significantly."

"If not for Daoist Can Tian severely wounding it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found the opportunity to slay it."

"Indeed, that is the case."

Immortal Qingshu turned to Daoist Cantaian and spoke with exceptional courtesy, "For this battle, Fellow Daoist Cantaian deserves the foremost credit."

Yet, the Daoist Priest of the Remnant Heaven wore an expression of wild ecstasy as he gazed at the 2 immortal roots and declared, "Since I am credited with the foremost merit, then swiftly gather the treasures and grant this old man an extra share."

Boom—

At that very moment, the void above trembled violently.

Everyone looked up and saw 2 glowing orbs—1 gold, 1 blue—soaring into the sky before abruptly shooting toward the crowd.

"Damn, it's the Yin Yang Dual Polarity Pearl!"

Immortal Qing Shu exclaimed in astonishment, recognizing the origin of this artifact.

Everyone’s hearts jolted with shock. The Yin-Yang Dual Polarity Pearls were none other than the 2 life-bound immortal treasures once wielded by the revered Yin-Yang Patriarch.

These 2 immortal treasures were both supreme-grade immortal treasures, and just like Eldrin's Celestial Li Twin Swords, they formed a pair of peerless supreme treasures.

It could be said that this object was the ultimate goal of their journey, yet no 1 had expected it would suddenly attack them.

Facing the assaults of 2 supreme-grade immortal treasures, none dared to be negligent. They all unleashed their signature techniques to intercept the attacks head-on.

"Ah—"

But at that very moment, the Daoist of the Remnant Heaven let out a piercing cry of agony.

Eldrin turned to look and only then realized that the Azure Aloof Immortal had suddenly betrayed them. The Celestial Blade and Immortal Sword struck simultaneously, piercing into the Corpse-Heaven Taoist’s physical form.

"Qingshu, why would you..."

Residual Heaven Daoist wore an expression of utter disbelief. He never imagined that after hundreds of thousands of years of camaraderie with Azure Aloof Immortal, the latter would actually ambush him at this critical moment.

Yet, in the end, he was granted no chance for regret. The Celestial Blades of the Heavenly Dao crossed with a deafening clang, severing the life of Daoist Cantiandao amidst the void.

Boom—

At that very moment, the group blocked the assault of 2 supreme-grade immortal treasures. Their gazes snapped toward Immortal Qingshu as they retreated several steps with utmost vigilance.

Before they could utter a word, a resonant hum echoed through the void. Beneath the Yin-Yang Polarity Pearl, a figure bearing the radiance of cosmic duality strode upon the air. The newcomer had crane-white hair and a youthful complexion—an elder with an aura of transcendent grace. He gazed upon the assembly with an amused smile and chanted:

"Bearing Yin and Yang, embracing the Great Void; contemplating life and death, the Dao returns to Oneness."

In life, he was supreme among immortals; in death, he reigns paramount over ghosts.

"I am Bo Taixu, once known by the Daoist title of Yin-Yang Patriarch. Greetings, young friends."

Yin-Yang Ancestral Master!

Everyone stared at the figure before them, their hearts seized with terror as expressions of utter horror dawned on their faces.

Yin-Yang Ancestor had been dead for over a million years—how could he suddenly return to life? Yet aside from him, who else could so effortlessly command the Yin-Yang Dual Polarity Pearl?

Eldrin took a careful look, his pupils contracting repeatedly as a flicker of shock and suspicion flashed across his eyes.

Ghost cultivator.

Zhen Yu Zi seemed to have noticed it as well, and couldn't help but take a deep breath before saying.
