Chapter 1115 : Alliance of Immortals and Divine Beasts

Attacking Crimson Flame Island was no trivial matter, and Eldrin Chen was in no hurry to act.

After all, the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor was an existence at the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Isles were guarded by a Mountain Protection Formation. If they could not take it with the force of a Thunderclap, complications were likely to arise.

For the Crimson Dragon Clan would surely not sit idly by and watch Crimson Flame Island fall to the Chen Clan.

Furthermore, for the sake of the Immortal Source Ore share, the Divine Spirit Lineage had already allied with the Demon Race and would likely not remain passive either.

Therefore, before taking action, Eldrin Chen sent word to three Immortal: Heavenly Feather, Void-Refining, and Six Stars.

Once the three arrived at Green Chariot Mountain, Eldrin Chen directly informed them of his plan.

After listening, the Six Stars Immortal paced a few steps, his expression grave. "I can handle the Violet Radiance Divine Spirit," he said.

"But the Crimson Dragon Child is an existence at the Great Perfection of the Ascendant Immortal Realm. Are you confident you can slay the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor before he arrives, or even withstand him?"

Eldrin Chen nodded, his confidence unwavering. "Do not worry. I am more than capable of dealing with that Crimson Dragon Child."

Hearing this, everyone present felt a slight sense of relief. Aside from the Crimson Dragon Child, the current Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Clan was no longer a significant concern. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio-novel*com.

Contemplating this, Void-Refining Immortal stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully, "My Void-Refining Island borders the territory of the Divine Clan. I can hold back the Verdant Brilliance Divine Spirit [a powerful divine entity] for you."

Seeing this, Heavenly Feather Immortal smiled and said, "As for the Crimson Jade Divine Clan [a powerful clan of divine beings], leave them to my wife and me."

"Then I shall trouble you all."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. Since Six Stars Immortal was blocking the Violet Radiance Divine Spirit, and Void-Refining and Heavenly Feather were intercepting the other neighboring Divine Clan forces...

...then for this battle, Eldrin Chen would no longer have to worry about being attacked from the rear. He could focus his mind entirely on confronting the Demon Race.

After concluding the discussions, Eldrin Chen watched the others depart. He then gathered the eight Immortal [powerful cultivators who have ascended to immortality] of the Chen Clan together.

Within the Great Hall, Eldrin Chen surveyed those assembled and began, "This battle will be our first contest for power in the Crimson Dragon Sea since arriving in the Immortal Realm [the higher plane of existence where immortals reside]."

"As the saying goes, if we do not fight, we remain still. But once we fight, we must shatter the enemy with the force of a Thunderclap [a sudden, overwhelming strike]."

"Therefore, for this campaign, I intend to leave only a single Immortal behind. All others shall march forth with our full might."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Exquisite Jiang could not help but ask, "Then who should we leave to maintain the Mountain Protection Formation [a powerful defensive array]?"

"Let Violet Consort guard Spirit Mountain then," Eldrin Chen stated calmly. He continued, "Since Violet Consort has made her breakthrough most recently, it is best for her to first consolidate her cultivation base."

"This..."

Though Violet Consort Yan wished to lend Eldrin Chen her strength, she understood that safeguarding Green Chariot Island was equally crucial.

Considering this, she nodded and said, "Rest assured. With me stationed at Green Chariot Mountain, it will not fall."

"Good. That puts my mind at ease."

With the roles for the campaign and the defenders settled, everyone began refining their Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts wielded by immortals] and preparing immortal-grade talismans, making ready for the coming battle.

Time flowed swiftly, and three months passed, bringing the optimal moment for action.

Thus, on that day, Eldrin Chen led the six Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation] of his clan and journeyed towards Crimson Flame Island, concealing themselves just beyond its shores.

"So this is Crimson Flame Island?"

Gazing upon the island before them, Exquisite Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly, a shadow of solemnity crossing her features.

This Crimson Flame Island possessed a Mid-Grade Immortal Vein [a spiritual energy source of intermediate quality for immortal cultivation]. Furthermore, it was protected by a High-Grade Immortal Formation [a powerful defensive array of the highest mortal tier] known as the Xavier Heavenly Flame Formation. This formation could unleash a devastating attack called the 'Xavier Heavenly Flame' [a divine flame technique named after its creator, Xavier].

The Xavier Heavenly Flame was exceptionally fierce and tyrannical. Even an Immortal [a being who has ascended to the first major stage of immortality] at the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm [the third and final stage of the Ascendant Immortal realm], if trapped within the formation, would be incinerated to ashes.

Considering this, the Black Tortoise Patriarch spoke with utmost gravity, "This Xavier Heavenly Flame is empowered by the Immortal Vein and the grand formation. The Heavenly Flame [a flame of celestial origin and immense power] is virtually inexhaustible."

"With this old one's cultivation level, I fear I wouldn't last even a brief moment before being reduced to tribulation ashes."

"Do not worry."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, his voice brimming with confidence. "As long as you all remain within ten thousand Zhang-length [approximately thirty-three thousand three hundred meters] of me, I can guarantee your safety." Continue your cultivation journey at audio-novel.com (official site).

"Very well."

Hearing this, everyone present let out a slight sigh of relief.

Since Eldrin Chen was confident he could withstand the Xavier Heavenly Flame, the group's apprehensions vanished. No longer concealing their auras, they surged toward Crimson Flame Island with killing intent.

"Now!"

The seven figures soared into the sky. As Eldrin Chen's voice fell, he immediately summoned his Celestial Abyss Twin Swords and slashed towards the Mountain Protection Formation.

The others also sprang into action. Exquisite Jiang's Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword, Verdant Consort's Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword, and Lila's Frost Soul Coldlight Sword all unleashed their radiant arcs in unison.

For a moment, over a dozen Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts wielded by immortals] and Divine Ability [supernatural techniques powered by profound cultivation] bombarded the formation, clashing violently with the Xavier Heavenly Flame Formation and erupting in a cataclysm of searing light.

"Disaster!"

As the Mountain Protection Formation came under sudden assault, two figures deep within Crimson Flame Island snapped their eyes open.

The leader of the two was naturally the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor, while the other was the Second Elder of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Clan.

The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Clan originally had three Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation]. Apart from the Clan Patriarch who was at the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm, the Grand Elder's cultivation was at the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm, and the Second Elder's power was only at the Ascendant Immortal 3rd Tier.

A few years prior, the Grand Elder had perished at the hands of Exquisite Jiang, leaving the Second Elder as the second-in-command of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle lineage.

Now, having just emerged from seclusion, the Second Elder saw Eldrin Chen and the others assaulting the mountain gate. His face paled slightly as he spoke, "Patriarch, that Returning Abyss has actually returned. What should we do?"

"Damnation."

The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's expression also shifted slightly. He had expected Eldrin Chen to settle scores after the fact, given his own past actions against Worthy Verdancy Chen.

Yet, what utterly defied his expectations was that Eldrin Chen had arrived with a full seven Immortals [powerful beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation].

Had it been only Eldrin Chen and Exquisite Jiang, he might have dared to rely on the Mountain Protection Formation [a powerful defensive array] to hold them off. But under the siege of seven Immortals, even the Xavier Heavenly Flame Formation [a formidable defensive array named after Xavier] of Crimson Flame Island would likely crumble.

After all, among the seven, Eldrin Chen possessed combat power rivaling the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm]. The combined strength of the remaining six could likely match another Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier.

After much deliberation, Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor felt a pang of panic. He was still gravely wounded; if the grand formation were breached, he would stand no chance against Eldrin Chen.

In this moment of renewed crisis, the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor drew a deep breath and declared, "Do not fear. This Sovereign has already sent word to Crimson Dragon Child. He will not stand idly by."

"Yes, yes!" The Second Elder's eyes gleamed with sudden hope. "If the mighty Crimson Dragon deigns to intervene, that That upstart Eldrin will surely bite off more than he can chew!"

"Hmm."

The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor responded coolly, his gaze turning icy. "However, the Immortal Spirit Essence [the refined spiritual power that fuels formations and cultivation] reserves of Crimson Flame Island are insufficient. We cannot allow them to continue their assault unchecked."

"Since that That upstart Eldrin dares to lead an attack on my Crimson Flame Island, today they shall taste the true might of the Xavier Heavenly Flame [a devastating divine flame technique]."

As his words fell, Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor [a powerful demonic beast emperor with control over crimson flames] took a single, earth-shaking step and soared into the sky.

He strode across the Heavenly Vault [the vast, celestial firmament above], his expression icy as he looked down upon Eldrin Chen. "You dare to assault my mountain gate today, That upstart Eldrin? Truly, you overestimate your strength."

"Xavier Ascending to Heaven!"

From within the Immortal Isles [a cluster of mystical, floating islands], a brilliant, blazing sun suddenly erupted, its radiance fueled by the Crimson Flame [a divine technique that manifests solar fire]. The story continues at audio-novel.com (official site).
