Chapter 1093 Arduous Battle, Yin Yang Dao Perishes

Heaven and earth roared, all things quaked.

3 supreme immortals clashed together, plunging immediately into the most grueling of battles.

Among the group, Eldrin had cultivated the Primordial Chaos True Qi and the Indestructible Primordial Chaos Body. With the protection of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss and various other divine abilities, his strength surpassed even that of the Ninth Level of Ascension.

Zhen Yu Zi was also exceptionally formidable in strength. With the protection of his supreme-grade immortal treasure, the 7 Ghosts Purgatory Furnace, he was in no way inferior to Eldrin (Person Name).

The Yin-Yang Ancestor was protected by the Dual Polarity Pearl, rendering him nearly impervious to all mystic arts. Moreover, with the Polar Light Sword—a supreme treasure of slaughter—he could be considered virtually unmatched among cultivators of the same realm.

In his prime, even half-step Earth Immortals were far from being a match for Yin-Yang Ancestor.

But now he was merely a Ghost Immortal, his nirvana not yet fully perfected. Despite a fierce battle, he found himself unable to subdue the 2, instead gradually falling into a grueling struggle.

The battle raged on for over 3 months, until all 3 combatants were utterly exhausted, their magical power nearly depleted.

"The spiritual power of these 2 is truly profound."

Seeing that he still couldn't subdue the 2 after all this time, the Yin-Yang Ancestor's expression grew increasingly grave.

As a Ghost Immortal at the half-step Earth Immortal realm, his magical power was far more abundant than the 2 of them. Yet now, it was nearly depleted, with only 10 percent remaining.

With only 10 percent of his magic power remaining, he could barely fight at full strength and could no longer sustain the power of the Yin-Yang Dual Polarity Pearl.

Nearby, Eldrin and Zhen Yu Zi were not faring much better. Zhen Yu Zi had exhausted over 80 to 90 percent of his magical power, and the remaining energy he channeled into the 7 Ghosts Purgatory Furnace could only unleash half of its intended might.

Eldrin's mana had been depleted by 90-5 percent, leaving him with far too little to even activate the dual union of the Sky-Severing Swords. It could be said he was already incapable of continuing the battle.

If they continued to fight, none of the 3 could slay the others—they would only exhaust themselves completely, draining their very souls, essence blood, and even their primordial origin.

By that time, all 3 of them would likely suffer severe depletion of their vital energy, perhaps even forced into a deep slumber to recuperate. Without hundreds of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, they would never fully recover.

Moreover, if all 3 of them were drained and fell into a deep slumber, Yin-Yang Ancestor, as a ghost immortal, would inevitably recover slower than they would.

For this Azure Vault Immortal Realm was no Netherworld, lacking the abundant Yin Ghost Qi needed for his recovery.

At this thought, Yin-Yang Patriarch knew he could delay no longer.

"The mana within us is nearly depleted. If we continue this fight, even at the cost of severely damaging our vital energy, we still won't be able to determine a victor."

"In that case, let us settle this once and for all."

With this thought, Yin-Yang Patriarch's pupils abruptly dilated as a resolute killing intent surged into the heavens.

"Clang—"

In an instant, a divine melody of the Great Dao resonated between heaven and earth.

The Yin-Yang Patriarch channeled all his power into the Yin-Yang Dual Polarity Swords, transforming them into twin auroras that entwined with Eldrin in an eternal dance.

At the same time, behind Yin-Yang Patriarch, the forces of Yin and Yang converged and intertwined. The Dual Polarity Pearls spiraled and gathered, transforming into a wheel of Primordial Chaos of Yin and Yang that violently pressed down toward Zhen Yu Zi.

"The old codger is truly decisive."

Seeing the treasure pearl hurtling toward him, Zhenyu Zi’s face drastically changed.

Yin-Yang Patriarch's Yin-Yang Dual Polarity Pearls were both supreme-grade immortal treasures, and moreover, they were a peerlessly powerful paired set of immortal artifacts.

Such an immortal treasure could naturally be fused together. The combined power of the Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pearls was in no way inferior to the Heaven-Cleaving Treasures wielded by Earth Immortal Patriarchs.

In the past, relying on the Yin-Yang Polarization Pearl and the Yin-Yang Polarization Sword, the Yin-Yang Ancestor had even fought to a draw with an Earth Immortal Patriarch.

Alas, the current Yin-Yang Ancestor existed as a ghost immortal, his magical power and foundation vastly diminished from his prime. He simply couldn't muster the strength to activate the dual fusion of the Yin-Yang Polarization Pearl.

Now, seeing the battle deadlocked, Yin-Yang Patriarch decided to sacrifice millions of years of accumulated Nether Essence to slay Zhen Yu Zi—the 1 who countered him most—and secure decisive victory in a single stroke.

This origin essence was forged through a million years of nirvanic cultivation by the Yin-Yang Ancestor. Once completely depleted, it would require accumulation anew—a process that could never be accomplished without hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years to restore.

Yin-Yang Old Ancestor had paid such a tremendous price to unleash the combined strike of the Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pearl, and its power was naturally incomparably astonishing.

As the Yin-Yang Dual Pearl merged and came crashing down, Zhen Yu Zi’s expression shifted drastically as he urgently activated the 7 Ghosts Purgatory Furnace.

At such a critical moment of life and death, his magical power had already been depleted. Left with no alternative, he could only convert his lifeblood essence into spiritual energy, barely managing to ward off the 7 Phantoms Purgatory Furnace.

A perfect opportunity.

It was at this very moment that Eldrin's gaze abruptly sharpened with chilling intensity.

In order to slay his formidable foe, the Yin-Yang Patriarch employed his ultimate protective treasure—the Yin-Yang Polarity Pearl—as an offensive weapon, finally revealing his most fatal flaw.

Within Eldrin’s dantian, the Lotus Throne of Creation suddenly bloomed with a brilliant radiance, unleashing a torrent of immortal essence.

In an instant, Eldrin's nearly depleted immortal essence was replenished, restoring 40 to 50 percent of his power in mere moments.

"Clang—"

A sword's keen cry pierced the air as the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) and the River of Heaven Water Sword erupted with 10 1000 zhang of brilliant sword radiance.

In an instant, the twin swords merged into 1, transforming into a blazing white sword aura that materialized between heaven and earth.

"Damn it."

Yin-Yang Patriarch’s heart sank. He never expected that at this critical moment when both sides were utterly drained, Eldrin (Person Name) still possessed a hidden lifebound immortal treasure storing immortal essence.

With such a trump card revealed, the combined might of the Heavenly Separation Twin Swords instantly resurfaced in the mortal realm, actually repelling the Yin-Yang Polar Light Sword through sheer force.

This was not due to Yin-Yang Patriarch’s lack of strength, but rather because his spiritual power was nearly depleted. While he could still contend with the Sky-Sundering Twin Swords, he was utterly powerless against the combined might of the Heaven-Sundering Union.

In that fleeting instant, the blazing white sword radiance erupted with unprecedented sharpness, piercing directly toward the Yin-Yang Ancestor.

Time seemed to have congealed into solidity. At this moment, the Yin-Yang Ancestor was channeling all his energy into activating the Yin-Yang Polarization Pearl, utterly incapable of mounting any other response.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling sword radiance pierced through the Yin-Yang Ancestor’s primordial spirit.

"Ha ha ha!"

In the blink of an eye, it was all over.

The soul of Yin-Yang Ancestor was pierced through by the sword aura. The terrifying Primordial Sun Heavenly Flames and sword energy surged straight into his divine soul, as if intent on utterly annihilating him.

His soul was beginning to dissolve into light, wisp by wisp of Netherworld soul force dissipating into the heavens and earth.

For a million years, I sought the path to immortality, contemplating the duality of Yin and Yang to unravel the mysteries of life and death.

"I, who once deemed myself a peerless prodigy, unrivaled across the world, now see it was but a fleeting dream."

Before his end, the Yin-Yang Ancestor appeared exceptionally composed.

A hint of nostalgia flickered in his eyes, mingled with a touch of relief.

A long while later, he gazed profoundly at Eldrin and remarked with a faint, enigmatic smile, “The great Dao demands contention; immortals and demons alike tread upon bones in their ascent.”

"Becoming immortal is easy, but attaining the Dao is hard. The Great Luo contend for the Dao, yet the Sage positions are numbered."

"Today, this old man has fallen upon this path. Yet as you set foot upon this very road, your journey ahead remains fraught with uncertainty and thorns."

"Ha ha ha!"

Yin-Yang Patriarch roared with laughter as his primordial spirit transformed into dancing motes of light, gradually returning to the embrace of heaven and earth.

His gaze rested on Eldrin, a meaningful glint in his eyes as he remarked, "You are all heaven's proud sons. This old man's defeat is no disgrace. Had fate woven our paths differently, we might have even become friends."

“Entering the cycle of reincarnation now, should fate allow it, after tens of millions of years have passed, we shall meet again.”
