Chapter 1162 The Ultimate Ancient Beast

Eldrin understood how troublesome the Starry Sky Ancient Beast could be, a faint frown creasing his brow.

He gazed at the Starry Sky Ancient Beasts, his expression turning gravely solemn. "These creatures dwell in colonies," he remarked. "As a rule, the greater their numbers, the more formidable their Beast King becomes."

"This herd of ancient beasts numbers in the thousands—their Beast King must be truly extraordinary."

Boom—

At these words, Eldrin’s gaze pierced through the heart of the beast horde. There, at the core where countless Void Ancient Beasts converged in formation, 2 sky-shrouding ancient creatures came roaring forth.

They were vaster than a primordial continent, the smaller 1 spanning a staggering 8,000,000 li, while the largest likely stretched over 10 million li. Their twin pupils blazed with the radiance of twin suns.

"A Void Ancient Beast spanning over 10 million li—it must have already reached the pinnacle of ascension."

"Even 1 spanning 8 million li would likely possess strength at the late Ascendant Immortal stage."

Eldrin murmured, his expression growing increasingly grave.

The Void Ancient Beasts were incomparably massive. A single ancient beast at the Perfected Immortal realm often possessed destructive power far surpassing that of a Ninth-Level Immortal Ascension cultivator.

Such ancient beasts were far less agile than Immortals. In a 1-on-1 fight, an Immortal at the 9th Layer of Ascension would have no fear of them, yet would find it difficult to slay them.

Yet they were far too immense, each strike possessing the power to overturn the heavens. Their strength and destructive force far surpassed that of immortals of the same realm. Should they seek to destroy a Great 1000 World, even a Ninth-Celestial Ascension cultivator would be utterly incapable of holding them back.

Without Eldrin (Person Name), relying solely on the current Violet 7 Immortal and the remaining 3,000-some Primordial Spirit Dao Lords, it would be nearly impossible to hold back this beast horde.

"Even a Ninth Celestial Ascension cultivator, augmented by the power of the Violet Realm, might not withstand this tribulation of heavenly ascension."

Eldrin murmured, then sighed and said, "The Astral Ancient Beast can devour the very essence of worlds. If allowed to breach the Violet Realm, it would inevitably disrupt the heaven and earth's ascension, bringing an irreversible catastrophe to all living beings."

"Go swiftly and summon all the Dao Lords of the Violet Realm. We must hold the Starry Sky Beasts beyond the Violet Boundary at all costs."

"I understand."

The Lord of the Dao Palace nodded, and with a flick of his sleeve, sent a streak of spiritual light flying into the Violet Realm.

For the ascension of the Violet Realm, the various sacred lands had already been preparing for many years.

At the command of the Dao Palace's master, over 3,000 Nascent Soul Dao Lords soared into the sky, while dozens of Pure Yang Treasure Ships advanced along the Path to Immortality.

When all had assembled, Eldrin finally spoke: "Leave the Great Perfection Stage of Ascension starry ancient to me. The rest will be up to you."

The Violet 7 Immortals nodded in unison. Kael (Person Name) inclined his head slightly and declared, "Rest assured, with the 7 of us joining forces, we should be more than capable of holding off a single cultivator at the peak Ascension stage."

"Then let us strike with full force."

Eldrin's words faded as he transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky.

In an instant, he pierced through the endless void and charged into the horde of Starry Sky Ancient Beasts.

That day, Li Shuangjian danced through the battlefield with peerless grace, decimating dozens of starry sky ancient beasts in mere moments before setting his sights upon the primordial beast monarch spanning millions of miles.

"Roar——"

The Starry Sky Ancient Beast possessed no spiritual wisdom, yet it held an instinctive awareness of imminent danger.

Sensing Eldrin's arrival, the Ancient Beast King let out a world-shaking roar and charged with annihilating force, its strike crashing against the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

"Clang—"

A series of metallic clangs rang out as the Heaven-Sundering Twin Swords struck the ancient beast's scales, erupting in a shower of dazzling sparks.

In that instant, Eldrin's pupils turned icy cold. The Sky-Severing Twin Swords were a pair of superior-grade immortal blades—even a Half-Step Earth Immortal wouldn't dare confront them directly. Yet they couldn't even injure this Ancient Star Beast.

"This Starry Sky Ancient Beast's physique is likely no weaker than the Indestructible Golden Body, rivaling even a Great Perfection Saint Body."

Eldrin couldn't help but murmur under his breath, his expression growing solemn.

In the celestial realms, both the Indestructible Golden Body and the 9 Heavens Sacred Physique excel in defensive prowess. Once cultivated to perfection, 1 could withstand direct strikes from superior-grade immortal artifacts.

The scales of this starry sky ancient beast were as if forged from immortal gold, their defensive power actually surpassing that of these 2 supreme constitutions, clearly indicating a formidable opponent.

At this thought, Eldrin’s gaze turned icy as he declared, “An ordinary Ninth-Level Ascension cultivator might be helpless against you, but that does not include me.”

"Clang—"

In an instant, Eldrin’s Celestial Separation Twin Swords merged into 1, transforming into a blazing white sword-light that descended with a slash.

Such a dazzling and unparalleled sword radiance instantly obliterated everything, allowing him to stand once more upon the body of the Starry Sky Ancient Beast.

This time, the Immortal Golden Scales could no longer hold firm. A corner was forcibly cleaved open, leaving behind an indelible sword scar.

"Argh!"

The Ancient Beast King roared in agony, surging up with earth-shattering fury. Unleashing a torrent of overwhelming force, it shattered several colossal stars with its devastating charge.

Eldrin dodged the strike, finally allowing a faint sigh of relief to escape his heart.

This Starry Sky Ancient Beast possessed immense strength, capable of snapping a Grade-4 Celestial Pillar with a single strike. Even a Half-Step Earth Immortal would likely not dare to confront it head-on. Yet, it harbored a fatal flaw.

It was far too massive, yet compared to an immortal, it was far too sluggish—hardly capable of harming an existence at the late Ascension stage.

Although its vitality was exceptionally tenacious, as long as Eldrin could inflict wounds upon it, he would gradually be able to slay this ancient starry sky beast.

Just be cautious and avoid direct confrontation.

Thinking of this, Eldrin immediately began continuously channeling the Heavenly Union Fusion, relentlessly inflicting wounds upon his opponent.

Though the wounds left behind were not large, each scar measured a mere 10 1000 li in size—utterly insignificant to a starry sky ancient beast spanning tens of millions of li.

Yet in this relentless entanglement, the Starry Sky Ancient Beast's wounds grew ever more severe, until its body was unknowingly covered with 1 fine injury after another.

"Given sufficient time, this Starry Sky Ancient Beast is undoubtedly doomed to perish."

Seeing the Starry Sky Ancient Beast's injuries worsening, he inwardly breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He rarely took the time to survey his surroundings, yet his expression involuntarily tightened.

In stark contrast to his smooth progress, the other cultivators of the Violet Realm found themselves teetering on the brink of peril.

The physical defense of this Starry Sky Ancient Beast was far too formidable. Human cultivators of the same rank found it extremely difficult to breach its defenses, often requiring several individuals to join forces before they could be confident of defeating it.

Whether it was the more than 3,000 Primordial Spirit Dao Lords or the 70-some newly ascended Immortals of the Violet Realm, they all found themselves hard-pressed when confronting these ancient star beasts.

Those Nascent Soul Dao Lords were 1 thing—they had the Pure Yang Spirit Treasures gifted by Eldrin, and dozens of Semi-Immortals wielded exotic treasures from beyond the heavens. Against Starbeasts of the Nascent Soul realm, they still had means to slay them.

However, the 7 Immortals of Kezi found themselves in a predicament—their opponent was the Ancient Beast King at the peak of the Ascension Realm.

As an ancient beast king, its physical body was indestructible; even a top-grade immortal treasure could not inflict fatal wounds upon it. Violet 7 Immortal was simply incapable of subduing him.

Fortunately, the Starry Sky Beasts were far less agile than the cultivators of the Violet Realm, and found it difficult to slay Dao Lords of the same rank. Thus, the battle descended into a state of stalemate.

Yet the current situation was gradually becoming untenable. To the Starry Sky Beasts, a Purple Realm cultivator undergoing ascension was the most delectable advancement nourishment.
