Chapter 1116. Xuan Yin Limitless Pearl

That sun was far too dazzling. Even the Palace Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace, who had reached the early stage of Ascension, found its radiance overwhelming, an incandescent glare that made her instinctively avert her gaze.

Eldrin stood poised in the void, his gaze profound as abyssal depths, calmly observing the sun-like entity. He discerned it was an immortal furnace wreathed in the celestial fire laws of Xavier.

Xavier's Celestial Flame Furnace.

Eldrin’s gaze flickered slightly as he saw Xavier’s Celestial Fire Furnace erupt with resplendent immortal light, unleashing a wave of celestial flames intense enough to scorch immortals and demons alike.

Facing such a strike, even the Eldrin Xuanwu’s expression shifted drastically. The might of this celestial fire was overwhelming—if he were struck head-on, he would likely be incinerated into ashes of calamity on the spot.

Eldrin stood there in serene stillness, enveloped by 3,000 strands of immortal qi, like an ancient Celestial Sovereign poised between heaven and earth.

"Stay calm, continue breaking the formation."

Eldrin spoke softly, the immortal mark between his brows gleaming with radiant light. An ancient bell, emanating an aura of primordial antiquity, rose from above his head, cascading countless streams of chaotic qi to shield everyone present.

Beneath the protection of this astral shield, even the legendary Xavier (Person Name) Celestial Flames—said to incinerate immortals and demons alike—proved utterly powerless, leaving the group completely unscathed.

Blocking Xavier’s celestial fire with the Earth Sovereign Bell, Eldrin’s gaze nevertheless revealed a trace of solemn focus.

This Xavier Heavenly Fire Furnace was a top-grade immortal treasure, capable of accumulating the power of the 9 heavens' sun and transforming it into the overwhelmingly potent Xavier Heavenly Fire.

This treasure accumulates 1 strand of Xavier (Person Name) Celestial Fire every 1,100 years, with a maximum capacity of storing 9 strands within the Xavier (Person Name) Celestial Fire Furnace.

Driven by the grand formation, each strike of the Xavier Heavenly Blaze Formation rivaled the full-force blow of a cultivator at the 8th or 9th tier of Ascension.

His own Earth Sovereign Bell had already depleted a significant amount of its power after blocking a single strike, yet this treasure could still unleash 8 streams of Xavier (Person Name) Celestial Flames—truly a force to be reckoned with.

"Without a celestial-class treasure ship to break the formation, it's rather troublesome indeed."

Eldrin murmured softly, his thoughts drifting to the time he had obtained the skeletal remains of the Flying Serpent.

If we could use the skeletal remains of a Tengshe as the keel to forge a top-grade immortal-class treasure ship, and gather over 1,000,000 cultivators at or above the Golden Core realm to operate it, breaking through the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Island's mountain protection array would likely be far simpler.

"Once we occupy the Tiansha Islands, we must begin crafting the superior-grade treasure ship."

With these thoughts in mind, Eldrin continued channeling his energy into the Earthen Sovereign Bell, resisting the scorching celestial flames unleashed by Xavier.

"Damn it."

Seeing that he could not break through the Earth Sovereign Bell, the expression of the Crimson Flame Roc Emperor grew increasingly icy.

He channeled all his power into the Xavier Heavenly Fire Furnace, unleashing 3 streams of Xavier Heavenly Fire that surged toward Eldrin in a blazing torrent.

Simultaneously channeling 3 streams of Xavier's Celestial Flames had already reached the absolute limit of what the Crimson Flame Qi Divine Condor Emperor could accomplish.

Such power would likely make even a perfected Immortal at the Great Perfection of Ascension turn and flee, yet Eldrin’s expression remained unaltered.

Eldrin channeled all his immortal energy into the Earthen Sovereign Bell. The colossal bell resonated with sonorous chimes, unleashing countless streams of primordial golden light that barely withstood the force of the 3 heavenly flames.

Yet even so, the Earth-Sovereign Bell had already exhausted its power, its radiance dimmed by 9 layers.

Eldrin understood that this innate immortal treasure had suffered a loss in power and would require a millennium of recuperation to restore its full might.

Even so, Eldrin was thoroughly satisfied, for an ordinary superior-grade defensive immortal treasure could at most withstand 2 strikes of Xavier's Heavenly Fire of such magnitude.

My own Earth Sovereign Bell could withstand 4 strikes, which was not only due to the superior Dao patterns and formations within it, but also related to the scales of the Primordial Desolate Dragon.

The scale of that Primordial Desolation Dragon possessed exceptional resistance to all manner of natural laws. By integrating it into the Earthen Sovereign Bell, the defensive capabilities of this defensive immortal treasure were significantly enhanced.

"Hahaha! Without your supreme defensive treasure, let's see how you withstand this!"

At that very moment, a cold sneer echoed through the void.

But the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Emperor sneered coldly, immediately channeling his power once more as 3 columns of Xavier (Person Name) Heavenly Fire came crashing down.

The Crimson Flame Emperor knew that Eldrin still possessed the protective divine ability Primordial Chaos True Qi. However, having witnessed the defensive power of Primordial Chaos True Qi, he concluded it was merely comparable to a Mahayana-level immortal art and could not withstand 5 strands of Xavier’s Celestial Flames.

Yet in the face of this strike, Eldrin (Person Name) remained unperturbed.

Deep within his brow, a brilliant azure pearl soared into the sky, unfurling a watery curtain that blotted out the heavens and shielded everyone beneath its expanse.

The 3 streaks of Xavier's celestial fire struck the water screen, only to be extinguished instantly, leaving behind mere ripples upon its surface.

"This is..."

"Ultimate Immortal Treasure?"

Divine Roc Emperor revealed a look of utter shock, his face filled with disbelief.

How precious are supreme-grade immortal treasures? Their power is at least several times greater than that of high-grade immortal treasures. In the entire Crimson Dragon Sea, only Crimson Dragon Master possesses the Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword (Magic Treasure).

Relying on the mountain-protecting formation laid down with the Crimson Dragon Flame Heaven Sword, Crimson Dragon Master once even withstood an assault from a half-step Earth Immortal Patriarch, demonstrating the immense value of such a supreme treasure.

Little did he expect that Eldrin now possessed a supreme immortal treasure, instantly plunging him into utter despair.

Eldrin paid no heed to the Azure Roc Emperor's astonishment regarding the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root).

Before him lay a supreme-grade immortal treasure, yet it was only the 'Yin Pearl' of the Dual Polarity Pearls, known as the 'Profound Yin Limitless Pearl'. In his possession remained its counterpart—the 'Profound Yang Dual Polarity Pearl'.

If both Yin-Yang Polarity Pearls were activated simultaneously, Eldrin estimated that even a half-step Earth Immortal Patriarch would find it nearly impossible to harm him before his immortal essence was depleted.

He summoned only the Profound Yin Infinite Pearl for 2 reasons: first, this single treasure sufficed to deal with the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Condor Emperor; second, he sought to avoid revealing his wealth and drawing covetous eyes from others.

Nevertheless, with the activation of the Profound Yin Limitless Pearl (Magic Treasure), they had already secured an invincible position.

The Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Emperor revealed a look of utter despair. Gritting his teeth, he unleashed the final 2 Xavier (Person Name) Heavenly Flames, yet they failed to harm the assembled cultivators in the slightest.

"It's over."

Seeing that he could not harm the group, the Second Elder of the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Clan felt his heart sink, a flicker of retreat surfacing in his eyes.

His gaze swept the surroundings, and the thought of fleeing took root. He couldn't help but say to the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Emperor, "If we scatter and escape now, there might still be a sliver of hope."

"No!"

The Divine Eagle Emperor's face twisted into a savage expression as he roared with fury, "Both the Returning Abyss and the Heavenly Abyss possess the divine ability 5-Colored Divine Light, enough to restrain you and me."

"With 7 Immortals surrounding us, our chances of escaping are less than 1 in 10."

"Let us hold out a little longer. If we can just endure 3 more days, Eldrin will surely arrive with reinforcements, and we shall have a sliver of hope."

The Divine Roc Emperor's eyes flickered with a trace of chill as he spoke of this.

Both were immortals, yet their circumstances differed vastly. The Second Elder had merely reached the early stage of Ascension. Even if he escaped, he posed no significant threat to the Chen Family.

However, the Crimson Flame Roc Emperor possessed a cultivation at the late Ascension stage. If he were to escape, he would undoubtedly become a dire threat to Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location).

Therefore, the Crimson Flame Emperor was well aware that if they scattered and fled, all 7 pursuers would likely target him alone. In that scenario, his chances of escape were slim, whereas the Second Elder might grasp a sliver of survival.

At this thought, the Divine Condor Emperor gnashed his teeth and declared, "Pass down the order: everyone must contribute their spirit stones. We shall spare no expense to activate the immortal formation at all costs—we must hold out until reinforcements arrive."

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, a full day and night had passed. The 7 immortals, including Eldrin, relentlessly assailed the grand formation, gradually depleting a significant portion of the power within Xavier’s Celestial Fire Formation.

Though it could hardly be called teetering on the brink, its power had already diminished by 30 to 40 percent.

"Only 6 or 7-tenths of its power remains, but that should be more than sufficient."

Eldrin spoke with an air of detachment, then with a flick of his sleeve, the Heaven-Severing Twin Swords soared forth. In an instant, they merged into a single, resplendent blade of light that descended with devastating force.

Under that single flash of sword light, Xavier’s Heavenfire Formation shattered in response, cleaved cleanly in 2.
