Chapter 1117. Slaying the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Emperor
"Run."
The instant the grand formation shattered, Emperor Shen Diao’s heart sank with a thud, his Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) roiling in turmoil.
Watching the Heaven-Uniting Slash cleave down with devastating force, he instantly transformed into a rainbow streak and fled beyond the immortal isle.
"Wretched fiend, where do you think you're fleeing?"
In that very instant, Lyra flicked her sleeve, releasing a 5-colored divine light that shot straight toward the Crimson Flame Qi Divine Eagle Emperor.
At the critical moment of life and death, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Emperor ignored the severe cost of forcibly burning his life essence blood, desperately twisting his posture to narrowly evade the strike.
Seeing this, Qing Ji and the others naturally had no intention of letting him escape with his life. They immediately unleashed their divine abilities and hurled immortal treasures at him.
For a time, 5 or 6 Immortals launched continuous attacks, forcing the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Condor Emperor into a position where escape was impossible.
The Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Condor Emperor narrowly evaded several immortal treasures, only to ultimately have his immortal form wounded by Lila (Person Name)'s Icy Soul Gleam Sword.
In an instant, the ultimate Yin and frigid power of the Frost Essence penetrated deep into his marrow, as if freezing even his very soul.
"Ah!"
Just as the Law of Frost was about to freeze his immortal soul, the Divine Roc Emperor let out a furious roar. The overwhelming Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) around his body surged violently, blazing so fiercely it seemed capable of scorching the heavens and melting the power of frost.
This individual truly lived up to being a peerless demon immortal at the late Ascension stage. Even while grievously injured, they could instantly suppress the Laws of Frost Essence.
Suppressing the Ice Soul Law, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Condor Emperor instantly transformed into a streak of rainbow light and shot forward. Yet, it was already too late.
In the void above, a Primordial Chaos Hand that blotted out the sky descended with overwhelming force, trembling all existence in its path as it suppressed everything between heaven and earth.
"My life is at its end!"
The Crimson Flame Emperor’s heart sank, knowing he no longer possessed the power to reverse the heavens.
Without any suspense, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Condor Emperor was suppressed by Eldrin (Person Name) using the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand. In less than an hour, its immortal soul was utterly annihilated, with only a wisp of divine consciousness descending into the netherworld cycle of reincarnation.
Fortunately, the Second Elder of the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Clan seized the opportunity and fled while the others were besieging the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Emperor.
Eldrin stopped the few who wished to give chase and said, "The Second Elder of the Divine Roc Clan has cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years yet remains stuck at the early stage of Ascending to Immortality. It’s clear this individual is not worth our concern."
"At present, our priority is to completely secure Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Island and establish a proper Mountain Protection Array there."
"Very well."
Hearing this, the crowd immediately flew onto the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Island.
The Crimson Flame Roc tribe had dominated Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Island for generations, breeding 300,000 pure-blooded Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) roc descendants.
These Crimsonblood Divine Eagles possess innate talents that allow them to reach the Nascent Soul realm upon maturity. With minimal cultivation effort, they can advance to the Spirit Soul realm, ranking among the most formidable combatants within the demon beast hierarchy.
Moreover, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle possesses the potential to ascend to immortality, with an exceptionally swift flight speed. Whether nurtured as a guardian beast of the mountain or employed as a mount under 1's command, it stands as a remarkable choice.
Many Primordial Immortal clans and immortal factions in the immortal realm would likely be eager to purchase this Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) divine sculpture.
Since the war began, many Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagles had escaped, yet over 200,000 remained within the immortal isles. The assembled immortals would naturally not let them slip away.
Moreover, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) immortal isle housed numerous celestial treasures such as the Scripture Depository and the Spirit Herb Garden, leaving the group utterly captivated.
Thus, everyone sprang into action. Qing Ji secured the Scripture Pavilion, Lyra headed for the Spirit Herb Garden, while the rest went to capture the Crimson Flame Qi Divine Eagle.
They had been hard at work for the greater part of the day, and only after capturing over 100,000 Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagles did they finally manage to fully stabilize the situation.
During this time, Eldrin deployed a long-prepared immortal formation upon the Crimson Flame Qi Island.
This formation was known as the Blazing Heaven-Devouring Array, a superior immortal formation he had refined using the Blazing Heaven-Devouring Wheel as its foundation. He had been reserving it precisely for deployment after conquering the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Island.
In just a single day's time, the hastily arranged formation could barely unleash 50 to 60 percent of its potential power, yet it would suffice for the moment.
However, this formation was hastily set up after all. It would need to be dismantled and rearranged later to unleash its full potential.
To return to our story, shortly after Eldrin laid down the formation, 6 majestic figures were seen soaring through the skies.
At the forefront stood a figure clad in crimson battle armor, gripping a divine spear of vermilion gold. He descended through the heavens like a celestial general patrolling the 9 Skies—none other than the renowned Red Dragon Child, whose name shook the Crimson Dragon Sea.
"You are a step too late, fellow Daoist."
At the sight of the approaching figure, Eldrin ascended to the heavens with unshakable calm.
A flicker of overwhelming killing intent flashed within Crimson Dragon Child's eyes as his pupils contracted slightly, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Eldrin (Person Name).
But in the blink of an eye, he withdrew his killing intent.
His gaze swept across the 7 immortals on Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Island before he let out an icy snort. Without uttering a single word, he turned and departed.
6 Dragon Immortals arrived swiftly and departed just as quickly.
The Crimson Dragon Crown Prince followed behind Elder Crimson Dragon, his expression icy as he inquired, "Father, why did you not strike?"
"Taking action is far from that simple."
Chilongzi shook his head, a trace of apprehension flickering in his eyes. "In today's battle alone, the Chen Family has produced 7 Immortals."
"If we include those stationed on Qingyuan Island, the Chen Clan has at least 8 immortals."
"With such formidable power, even if we fight to the death, I fear we'd only end up with mutual destruction."
Upon hearing this, the Eldest Prince of the Crimson Dragons complexion shifted almost imperceptibly.
The Crimson Dragon lineage currently has only 7 demon immortals. A direct confrontation with the Chen Family would likely fail to secure an upper hand.
At this thought, he sighed and said, "Even though the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Emperor lost 2 of his signature magic treasures and suffered severe injuries, he remains an existence at the late Ascension to Immortality stage.
"To think he actually fell right before his own sect's gates, unable to even manage an escape. This truly shows the Abyssal Return cannot be underestimated."
At this point, the Eldrin Great Crown Prince spoke with a calm expression, "However, after drawing from the immortal source vein for many years, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Golden Scale Armor has restored some of its damage."
"Perhaps in a few more years, it will be time to emerge into the world."
Upon hearing this, a glint of sharpness flickered in Elder Red Dragon’s eyes.
As the legitimate son of the Crimson Dragon Ancestor, he was the only person in this world who possessed sufficient understanding of the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Golden Scale Armor, knowing full well that this supreme treasure was far more than merely a top-tier immortal artifact.
At this thought, Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but nod in agreement.
With matters having reached this point, the 2 of them ceased further discussion on the issue.
The Crimson Dragon Crown Prince seemed to recall something and proposed, "By my reckoning, it has been over 1 1000 years since Third Brother emerged into this world. It is time for him to descend the mountain to temper his skills and seek that chance of attaining immortality."
"Agreed."
Chilongzi (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this. His third son possessed the constitution of an Acquired Yi-Wood Azure Dragon, with talent and aptitude that could be considered top-tier even among the immortal descendants.
As the saying goes, jade must be carved to become a vessel—relying on talent alone merely cultivates a flower in a greenhouse. Only by weathering storms can 1 truly strengthen oneself.
Although Redscale Dragonlord doted on his child, he still hoped the boy would temper himself through trials to attain immortality and become his right-hand aide.
