Chapter 1130. Bloodfiend Demonship
3 100 years—to mortals, this span might seem an eternity.
Yet for an immortal, it was but a brief period of secluded cultivation.
Eldrin and the Skywind Daoist possessed immense patience. Having concealed themselves within the meteor for over 3 100 years, they finally witnessed the arrival of the pivotal moment.
On this day, a treasure ship forged of Dark Mystical Ice emerged from the depths of the endless void and entered the Bloodspring Demon Realm.
Immediately, the Bloodspring Demonic Realm sprang into action. Thousands of treasure-laden ships surged forth, launching a fierce assault toward the celestial body.
These treasure ships numbered in the hundreds of thousands, with even the lowest-grade vessels reaching Tier 5, while nearly a 1000 had attained the prestigious Tier 6.
Yet, this alone was not enough to unsettle the 2. What truly made them tense were the 2 sky-obscuring treasure ships, each spanning tens of thousands of miles.
The 2 treasure ships were both colossal beyond measure. 1 was an immortal vessel forged from Dark Profound Ice, its grade reaching as high as Mid Immortal Rank—a veritable mid-grade demonic treasure.
The other vessel was completely transparent, with bloody qi swirling inside, emanating an overwhelming aura of baleful energy.
A war demon vessel forged of Dark Profound Ice.
"That crimson treasure ship, could it be forged from Blood Fiend Devil Crystal (Magical Material)?"
The moment he laid eyes on the 2 treasure ships, Daoist Tian Feng's expression subtly chilled.
Upon hearing this, Eldrin's expression turned extremely grave. Both of these war treasure ships were formidable weapons of mass destruction.
That Dark Profound Ice Vessel was of a slightly lower grade, yet it could rival a mid-grade immortal-class treasure ship. If several 100 1000 demonic cultivators were to jointly channel their power into it, it would likely unleash a force comparable to the Ninth Level of Ascension.
The Scarlet Treasure Ship proved superior, most likely a supreme treasure that Patriarch Bloodspring had researched and refined for over a decade.
This was a top-grade war demon vessel, and if pushed to its limits, its power would likely rival a half-step Earth Immortal's full-force strike.
This treasure ship possesses immense power, and if used to assault a mountain-protecting grand formation, it should be capable of unleashing boundless miraculous effects.
Fortunately, while this treasure was immensely powerful, it lacked flexibility. It was perfectly suited for dealing with stationary targets like a mountain-protecting array, but using it against a cultivator at the late Ascension stage was like employing a cannon to kill a mosquito—hardly an appropriate choice.
At this thought, Eldrin felt slightly reassured inwardly, yet he smiled and remarked, “A top-grade immortal-class war treasure ship—that Bloodspring Old Demon has truly spared no expense.”
"Indeed." Daoist Tianfeng gave a nod. "Had we not come, the Blood Spring Old Demon might well have succeeded in seizing this ancient site."
The resources consumed in forging a war treasure ship were at least 3 to 5 times greater than those required for immortal treasures of the same tier.
Such a precious and weighty treasure could not be successfully forged even by the present-day Chen Clan of the immortal realm, a testament to its extraordinary rarity.
In all likelihood, Bloodspring Elder Devil had probably expended over half of his lifelong accumulation to forge this supreme-grade immortal vessel.
"Bzzzz—"
As the 2 were speaking, a soft hum suddenly echoed from the void.
Eldrin looked up and saw several figures emerging from the 2-colored treasure ships.
From the crimson treasure ship emerged 4 True Demons. The leader, clad in blood-red robes, had reached the pinnacle of the ninth layer of True Demon realm. Of the remaining 3, 1 possessed a cultivation base at the fifth layer of Ascension realm, while the other 2 had barely stepped into the early stages of Ascension.
From the dark and shadowy Profound Ice Demon Vessel on the right emerged 3 figures. 2 of them had merely reached the early to middle stages of Ascension, yet the leader’s aura was no weaker than that of Skywind Daoist.
2 Ninth-Level True Demons?
Elder Tianfeng was somewhat taken aback, his gaze revealing a trace of solemnity.
He knew perfectly well that the 4 figures emerging from the blood-red treasure ship were undoubtedly disciples of the Blood Spring Demon Sect, with the leader being none other than the Blood Demon Ancestor.
However, the 3 figures aboard the Netherdark Profound Ice Demon Vessel defied all his expectations. After all, a Ninth Ascension Realm cultivator was more than enough to sway the course of battle.
Eldrin’s expression shifted slightly as he took an involuntary deep breath. “The Bloodspring Old Fiend has no confidence in completely breaching the ancient ruins of Cangling Ancient Star,” he said. “Seeking assistance was entirely expected.”
"I should have seen this coming."
Elder Tianfeng’s expression turned grave as he couldn’t help but ask, “2 Ninth-Level True Demons, along with 5 other True Demons joining the fray—not to mention the support of 2 Immortal Realm war demon vessels.”
"This level of power is far too formidable. I fear we may ultimately fail to pull the chestnuts out of the fire."
Eldrin furrowed his brow slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "After all, the Stellar Ruins are ancient ruins of the Earth Immortal level. No 1 truly knows how profound their depths might be."
"However, to prevent the demonic race from swiftly taking control of the situation, we must infiltrate the heart of the stars and seek the perfect moment to strike."
"There's no other way."
Elder Tianfeng nodded. Originally, they had planned to conceal themselves beyond the stars, waiting until both sides within were locked in mutual destruction before moving in to claim the spoils.
But now, sensing that the Starfolk might not hold out much longer, they decided to infiltrate the ancient star themselves, ready to play the oriole stalking the cicada at the critical moment.
After deciding to infiltrate the ruins, the 2 immediately concealed their auras and continued waiting for the perfect moment to sneak in.
They did not have to wait long. With a single command from the Bloodspring Ancestor, hundreds of millions of demonic beings, accompanied by countless treasure ships blanketing the sky, launched their assault on the Cangling Ancient Star.
The 2 immortal-class war demon vessels unleashed their full assault, causing the protective formation above the ancient star to tremble on the verge of collapse.
The Star Formation atop the Star Ruins was already incomplete, and after holding for merely a few days, it was torn open with a massive breach.
Then, countless treasure ships swarmed in, and several Eldrins also charged into the fray.
"Let us depart."
Eldrin (Person Name) opened his mouth, preparing to follow closely behind and enter.
Elder Tianfeng, however, shook his head and pulled Eldrin toward a different direction.
He journeyed to the other side of the Cangling Ancient Star, channeling his magic seal to tear but a single fissure in the stellar array.
Then he stroked his long beard and laughed heartily, "This Star Formation was laid down by the ancient Eldrin Court. At its peak, not even a Ninth-Level Earth Immortal elder could breach it."
Fortunately, the formation was now dilapidated, leaving behind numerous irreparable gaps.
"This gap was concealed by my spell back then, to serve as the entry point for the next embedding. Now, as expected, the time has come to put it to use."
Eldrin nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Back in the day, the Cangling Ancient Star suffered devastating blows, leaving its Void Placenta Membrane and Stellar Grand Formation severely damaged and full of holes, much like a piece of cracked porcelain. There were quite a few entrances similar to this 1.
However, the Star Spirit lineage would not leave these entrances unguarded. The larger ones were heavily defended, while even the smaller ones were carefully monitored. It would be nearly impossible for them to enter without being detected.
With this entrance, they saved themselves a great deal of trouble, significantly reducing the likelihood of being discovered.
"Time waits for no 1. Let us enter."
The 2 of them firmly suppressed their auras and stepped through the entrance into the Cangling Ancient Star. As expected, the Star Spirits did not detect their presence.
Eldrin immediately concealed himself within the void, then swept his gaze across the surrounding mountains, rivers, and heavens. In mere moments, he detected a pervasive aura of devastation.
