Chapter 1215 : Clash of Immortal Treasures

The Demon Immortal [a powerful cultivator who has transcended mortality] felt a sudden lurch in his heart, realizing he had chosen the wrong opponent.

In the past, even Eldrin Chen and his companions, wielding the might of several Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of enchanted artifacts used by immortals] along with the power of the World-Opening Treasure [a legendary artifact capable of shaping reality] and the Ancient Bell of the Starry Cosmos [a celestial bell whose chimes can shake the heavens], found it difficult to breach this Crimson Flame Golden Scale Armor [a legendary armor forged from golden scales imbued with crimson flame].

It was only after Xander Dao Chen used his Heavenly Eye [a divine ability granting profound insight and perception] to detect its flaw that they seized the opportunity to slay its wielder. Now, although this Demon Immortal holds a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure, he finds it difficult to shatter this defensive Immortal Treasure [an enchanted artifact used by immortals] in a short time.

For the Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title signifying mastery over void and space], as long as the Crimson Flame Golden Scale Armor remains unbroken, he stands in an invincible position. If he simply endures, he will inevitably defeat the Demon Immortal.

The Demon Immortal understood this as well. With no other choice, he could only relentlessly drive his Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure to bombard downwards, hoping to bypass the Crimson Flame Golden Scale Armor and use its supreme might to crush the Void-Refining Immortal sealed within.

If it were an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] who had just stepped into the Ascendant Immortal [a specific realm within the immortal cultivation hierarchy], they might truly be slain by the residual force of this Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure. However, the Void-Refining Immortal was no easy mark. Having cultivated arduously for over one hundred thousand years, his strength had truly reached the Sixth Level of Immortal Ascension Realm [the sixth tier of the Immortal Ascension cultivation realm].

In a direct confrontation, he would be no match for the Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure. But with the Crimson Flame Golden Scale Armor shielding him, he could withstand its residual shockwaves. The Demon Immortal, however, could only manage a few such devastating blows before his power began to fade. In such a protracted battle, his reserves were unsustainable. After a few exchanges, his Mana [the spiritual energy used to power techniques and treasures] was nearly depleted.

After another hundred or so exchanges, his Mana was ninety percent exhausted. It was only then that the Void-Refining Immortal found an opening to counterattack, finally knocking his foe from the stone pillar.

"Not bad."

Seeing that even the Void-Refining Immortal had secured a spot, Eldrin Chen inwardly let out a soft sigh of relief. This struggle for the right to comprehend the Heaven's Stele [a mystical stele containing profound heavenly insights] could be considered nearly perfect.

Shortly after Void-Refining Immortal [a title for an immortal who refines the void] secured his spot, victors gradually emerged upon the various stone pillars through their contests.

In the span of merely a few days, most of the one thousand pillars had found their masters, with only a dozen or so still being contested.

Eldrin Chen's pillar was among these. His power was so overwhelming that none dared challenge him for it, leaving his pillar among the last to remain unclaimed.

As the number of unoccupied pillars dwindled, an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality, the pinnacle of cultivation] could no longer restrain themselves.

A female immortal clad in yellow robes stepped forward, offering a slight bow with a smile. "This humble one is Aurelia Jiang. Greetings, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator]." "Greetings."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. The woman before him was a Human Race Immortal, her cultivation at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the ninth and final stage of the Ascension to Immortality realm, just before becoming a true Immortal]. With no enmity between them, his demeanor remained cordial.

Seeing this, Aurelia Jiang smiled and said, "Your Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power mastered by high-level cultivators] is extraordinary, Fellow Daoist. I fear I am no match, yet I dare to test myself. I beg your leniency."

"It shall be so."

Eldrin Chen gave another nod. With a sweep of his sleeve, he gestured gracefully. "After you."

"Behold the Supreme Unity Earth Thunder [a divine ability that summons the primordial thunder of earth, representing supreme unity]! Be cautious, Fellow Daoist!"

Aurelia Jiang nodded, offering a word of caution before unleashing a dazzling divine thunderbolt.

As the divine thunder descended, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with a subtle light. With a snap of his fingers, the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique harmonizing the five elements and pure yang energy] crackled down, aiming directly for Aurelia Jiang.

Yet, the power of Aurelia Jiang's Supreme Unity Earth Thunder [a profound earth-attribute thunder technique] proved unexpectedly formidable. In the blink of an eye, it coalesced into a formidable Sword Qi [a sharp, condensed energy blade] force, cleaving through and dispersing the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.

Not stopping there, the residual power of the thunder-turned-sword surged onward. Transforming into a brilliant arc of lightning Sword Qi, it shot forth with relentless force, aiming straight for Eldrin's brow.

However, in that fleeting instant, it was halted by a barrier of Primal Chaos True Aura [a defensive energy field of unified primordial forces].

"A remarkable Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power or technique]," Eldrin remarked.

Having blocked this thunderous Sword Qi with his Primal Chaos True Aura, Eldrin Chen could not help but voice his admiration.

Aurelia Jiang could only shake her head with a wry smile. "And yet, it still falls short against you, Brother Daoist." She then explained, "This Divine Ability of mine possesses two forms. The first is called the Supreme Unity Earth Thunder, while the latter is known as the Supreme Unity Earth Thunder Sword Qi [the sword energy manifestation of the Supreme Unity Earth Thunder]. Between the two, the former's power is merely that of an ordinary Great Divine Ability [a high-tier supernatural power] at the Sky-Reaching Realm [a high cultivation stage]. The latter, however, ranks among the pinnacle of Heaven-Piercing Divine Ability [the highest category of divine powers], its might not far from your own Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder."

Though she understood she was no match for Eldrin Chen, Aurelia Jiang was not yet ready to concede.

She soared into the heavens, summoning a resplendent Immortal Sword [a sword forged with immortal power]. Then, she unleashed a torrent of Dao Fruit [the condensed essence and culmination of one's cultivation path] power. In that instant, vast Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles and rules of the Great Dao] intertwined with her Dao Fruit, merging inseparably into the brilliant Immortal Sword.

In the span of a single breath [a very brief moment], the resplendent Immortal Sword radiance surged, transforming into a blade of dazzling, peerless thunder.

"Fellow Daoist, taste this strike of mine."

As the words fell, the brilliant Immortal Sword cleaved down with overwhelming force, as if intending to split Eldrin Chen's brow asunder.

"An amplifying Divine Ability [a supernatural power cultivated by immortals]?"

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly. This technique fused the cultivator's Sword Qi [sword energy] Divine Ability with their own Immortal Sword, merging them into one to vastly augment the weapon's destructive power.

Now, with this descending strike, its force had escalated to a level approaching a blow from a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest rank among immortal artifacts]. This novel is serialized on audio-novel dot com. Visit for updates.

"Dual Dao Fruits [a profound cultivation achievement signifying mastery over two fundamental Daos], delivering a strike comparable to a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure."

"A pity. Before this seat, you should not have revealed your Magical Treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators]."

Eldrin Chen mused inwardly, a sigh escaping him as he acknowledged the endless stream of formidable talents in the world. This Aurelia Jiang had possessed a genuine hope of securing a spot. Yet, hesitation had stayed her hand until now. Facing Eldrin Chen, she would likely have to depart with nothing but regret.

"*Whoosh—*"

Then, as Eldrin Chen made his move, he channeled the Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine light embodying the five elements] which swept across the Firmament [the heavens, the sky], instantly ensnaring that resplendent Immortal Sword [a sword forged and wielded by an immortal]. Despite the Immortal Sword's frantic struggles, it could not break free.

Seeing her Lifebound Immortal Sword [an immortal sword bound to its wielder's life force] subdued, Aurelia Jiang's expression shifted slightly as she said, "I concede, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator]. Please return my Immortal Sword."

"Go."

Eldrin Chen offered a faint smile and casually dispersed the Five-Colored Divine Radiance.

Only then did Aurelia Jiang let out a sigh of relief, a trace of lingering fear in her voice. "Thank you for your mercy, Fellow Daoist."

"There is no need for such formalities."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, his expression calm. "Your amplification Divine Ability [a supernatural power or technique] is quite extraordinary. It must be considered a unique skill even within the Ascension Immortal Realm [the realm of cultivation where one ascends to immortality]."

"You flatter me."

Aurelia Jiang smiled slightly before explaining, "In my youth, I obtained a secret method that can transform the Supreme Unity Earth Thunder [a divine thunder technique of supreme unity with the earth] Divine Ability into the Supreme Unity Earth Tribulation Sword Miasma [a sword miasma imbued with the power of earth tribulation], which can then be attached to an Immortal Sword to augment its power."

"However, such an esoteric art requires the Divine Ability to be compatible with the Immortal Sword. Otherwise, it may instead damage the Immortal Sword's potency."

"Moreover, the cultivation method is exceedingly demanding, and those who can successfully cultivate it to the Immortal realm are exceedingly few."

"I understand."

Eldrin Chen nodded. In truth, he coveted this secret art greatly.

However, such a technique was undoubtedly one of Aurelia Jiang's most closely guarded trump cards, making it highly unlikely she would part with it.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen filed the matter away in his mind and said no more.

Seeing this, Aurelia Jiang cupped her hands in salute, then withdrew and descended from the stone pillar. Not long after she left, another figure ascended to the platform.

The newcomer was clad in a black robe, his entire being radiating a terrifying aura of Baleful Qi [a malevolent and destructive form of spiritual energy]. Even his brow and gaze carried an indescribable ferocity.

"Such potent Baleful Qi [a malevolent and destructive form of spiritual energy]. Could this person be..."

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly as he spoke thoughtfully, "Celestial Prison Race [a race or faction known for their connection to imprisonment and baleful energies]?" This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel .c om.
