Chapter 1184 : Clash of Immortals for the Crimson Sea

Gazing upon the Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] gathered before him, Eldrin Chen felt a surge of confidence swell within his heart.

This battle would determine the Sovereign [the supreme ruler] status over the Crimson Dragon Sea. Once Crimson Dragon Immortal Island was secured, the Chen Immortal Clan would become the true Sovereign of that vast sea.

At that point, the Chen Immortal Clan would mirror the era of the Crimson Dragon Patriarch, becoming a hegemonic power dominating an entire stretch of ocean.

Therefore, for this decisive conflict, Eldrin Chen had summoned old allies far and wide, and his own forces were mobilized to their fullest extent.

In terms of Immortal of the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the foundational realm for true Immortals], their number alone reached twenty-one.

Among them, those possessing combat power at or above the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier included four individuals: Eldrin Chen, Heaven Wind Immortal, Star Consort, and Exquisite Jiang.

Those at the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm numbered two: Six Stars Immortal and Verdant Consort.

There were even more in the Early Ascendant Immortal Realm and Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm: twelve members of the Immortal Alliance—Violet Consort Yan, Lila, Kael Chen, Lord of the Path Palace, Kunpeng Demon Sage, Earth Mystery Path Venerable, Heaven Abandoned Lin, Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Divine Spirit, Master of Stellar Palace, Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace, Blazing Phoenix, and Black Tortoise Patriarch.

In addition, there were old friends like the couple Heavenly Feather and Violet Flame, and Void-Refining Immortal.

Altogether, this amounted to a full twenty-one Immortal. Even if they were merely twenty-one Early Ascendant Immortal Realm, their combined strength should be sufficient to hold off two or three opponents at the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier. Published by audio-novel[dot]com. All rights reserved.

Among them, they not only possessed the combat power of four Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm, representing the peak of power before the Earth Immortal stage], but they also carried multiple Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of immortal artifacts, possessing immense power]. It was estimated that this force would be sufficient to contend with two or even three Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have partially transcended the Ascendant Immortal realm and touched upon the power of an Earth Immortal].

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen smiled with brimming confidence and declared, "Fellow Daoists, after today's battle, the Crimson Dragon Sea [a vast sea region named for the crimson dragons that once ruled its depths] should welcome a change of masters."

"..."

As his words faded, Eldrin Chen led the group, setting their course directly for the Crimson Dragon Island [the central island and stronghold within the Crimson Dragon Sea].

Before long, they had fought their way to the very heart of the Crimson Dragon Sea, arriving before the formidable Crimson Dragon Island.

Gazing upon the island before them, Heaven Wind Immortal [an immortal whose mastery is associated with the winds of heaven] furrowed his brow slightly and cautioned, "The Path-Guardian Formation [a powerful defensive array designed to protect a vital location or path] surrounding this Crimson Dragon Island is truly Extraordinary [a term denoting something remarkable or beyond the ordinary]. It would be wise for us to proceed with caution."

"Indeed."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, his own brow creasing in thought. The Mountain Protection Formation [a defensive array specifically designed to shield a mountain or island stronghold] enveloping the Crimson Dragon Island was powered by the Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword [a legendary sword artifact imbued with the scorching essence of a crimson dragon].

Amplified by the Formation [a structured arrangement of energy channels and nodes used to create magical effects, from defense to attack], every strike from the Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword possessed force comparable to a full-power assault from a Half-Step Earth Immortal.

Among those present, aside from Eldrin Chen and a select few others, none would be capable of withstanding such a blow.

This caused Eldrin Chen's gaze to darken slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "To break this formation, it would be best to use an ancient war vessel."

"However, since our Chen Clan does not possess one, we can only rely on our own people to withstand it."

Star Consort, however, was brimming with confidence and said calmly, "The Immortal Vein [a vein of concentrated spiritual energy that fuels immortal-level formations and artifacts] on Crimson Dragon Island is merely a high-grade one. At most, it can only sustain nine strikes from the Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword."

"As long as we can withstand those nine strikes, the Formation [a structured arrangement of energy nodes and patterns used for defense, attack, or other mystical purposes] will lose its offensive power, and we can then proceed to dismantle it."

Exquisite Jiang furrowed her brow slightly and could not help but say, "The crucial question is whether our methods can withstand those nine strikes."

"Rest assured, leave the island's protective Formation to me."

As she spoke, Star Consort retrieved a veil of seven-colored mist from her sleeve. "This is the Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal who has attained mastery over earthly energies] grade treasure, the Primordial Unity Seven Mists Veil. It is a supreme protective treasure refined by a Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal lord] from the essence of seven-colored twilight mists."

"With this treasure guarding us, not even a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of becoming a full Earth Immortal] can harm you or me."

As her words fell, Star Consort the Elder took a step forward and unleashed a dazzling ribbon of starlight, slashing it towards Crimson Dragon Island.

"*Hummm—*"

Under attack, the Island Protection Grand Formation of Crimson Dragon Island shimmered with faint, rippling waves of light.

Sensing the dire situation, the Primordial Void Black Dragon [a powerful dragon born from primordial chaos] spoke up with a mix of alarm and fury, "Eldrin Chen, do you truly intend to pursue a path of utter annihilation?"

"Hmph—"

A cold snort was the only reply. Eldrin Chen unleashed the Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique fusing the power of the five elements and the primordial sun], his expression calm as he declared, "When you hunted my child, did you ever consider sparing her life?"

Simultaneously, a full twenty-one Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation] joined the assault. A relentless barrage of Divine Ability [supernatural techniques powered by profound cultivation] techniques and Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts wielded by Immortals] rained down, causing the protective glow of the Mountain Protection Formation [a defensive array shielding the island's mountains] on Crimson Dragon Island to flicker and tremble violently.

"Disaster!" For the best reading experience, visit audio - novel . com.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the Primordial Void Black Dragon's expression shifted slightly.

He immediately turned his gaze towards the depths of Crimson Dragon Island, his voice tinged with panic as he cried out, "Patriarch! A great calamity is upon us!"

"Hold them off for now. I will be there shortly."

A voice, calm and measured, drifted from within the Immortal Isles [a cluster of islands inhabited by Immortals], seeming to bolster the Primordial Void Black Dragon's resolve.

He swept his gaze over the group, gritted his teeth, and declared, "Daring to come to my Crimson Dragon Island, today I will surely slay you all."

"Clang—"

As his words fell, a clear, resonant hum of a sword rang out.

Eldrin Chen saw a dazzling Immortal Sword soar into the sky. It was a celestial sword of Path Principles [the fundamental laws of the cosmos and cultivation], blazing with brilliant Crimson Flame [a divine fire of immense power].

That Immortal Sword shone with a majestic, overwhelming heavenly might as it descended, cleaving through the air with the force of a World-Opening Celestial Immortal Sword [a legendary sword said to have the power to split the heavens and cleave the earth].

"Get behind me!"

Star Consort immediately commanded. The Primordial Unity Seven Mists Veil [a supreme defensive treasure] in her hand swelled instantly, transforming into a vast, sky-shielding curtain of light that expanded through the void, enveloping everyone and blocking the strike of the World-Opening Celestial Immortal Sword.

Taking this blow, Star Consort paled slightly, a flicker of surprise crossing her face as she said, "For the Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword [the Crimson Dragon's legendary flaming sword] to possess such power... it seems that Crimson Dragon truly was on the verge of World-Opening [the legendary realm of creating one's own world] in its time."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen asked with concern, "Are you alright? Can you still hold?"

"Do not worry," she replied. "This Primordial Unity Seven Mists Veil is a supreme treasure of the Earth Immortal [a high realm of cultivation, one step below true divinity] realm. This sword cannot breach its Impenetrable [an ultimate defensive technique] defense."

Speaking to this point, Verdant Consort [a powerful female immortal] added with a slightly somber expression, "However, my spiritual power [the energy cultivated by immortals] may be insufficient. I fear holding back all nine sword strikes will be somewhat difficult."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke up, "I shall have several other fellow cultivators assist you. Their combined efforts should prove of some use."

As his words fell, Violet Consort Yan and Lila along with several other Immortal [beings who have ascended to a higher state of existence through cultivation] stepped forward. They began to assist Star Consort in channeling energy into the Primordial Unity Seven Mists Veil [a powerful defensive artifact that conjures seven layers of mystical mist].

The others, witnessing this, immediately resumed their assault, determined to breach the grand protective formation [a complex array of energy channels and runes for defense or attack] surrounding Crimson Dragon Island.

"Damnation!"

As the relentless barrage continued against the formation, the countenance of the Primordial Void Black Dragon [an ancient and powerful dragon born from primordial chaos] grew increasingly grim.

The reserves of Immortal Essence [the purest form of energy used by high-level immortals] within Crimson Dragon Island were insufficient. Faced with the combined might of the attackers, the defenses would inevitably be shattered sooner or later.

Realizing this, he immediately activated the Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword [a legendary sword that harnesses the power of the crimson dragon and the scorching sun], drawing upon the formation's power to unleash another devastating slash.

The Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword drew upon the Primordial Solar [the fundamental energy of the primal sun] from heaven and earth. It could condense a single strand of Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword Qi [the sword's unique, concentrated energy] only once every ten thousand years, with a maximum capacity of just nine such strands.

Now, under the assault of the coalition, the Primordial Void Black Dragon had no choice. He activated the sword and struck down again and again. After unleashing nine consecutive slashes, the weapon's formidable power was finally exhausted.

"This is bad..."

Seeing that nine consecutive sword strikes had failed to wound the group, the Primordial Void Black Dragon could not help but reveal a look of utter despair.

On the other side, Star Consort withdrew the Primordial Unity Seven Mists Veil with a pale face, forcing a bitter smile as she said, "My spiritual energy is completely depleted. From here on, you must rely on yourselves."

"Rest assured. Watch us break this formation."

With those words, Eldrin Chen used the Bulwark Earth Sovereign Bell to shield everyone and began relentlessly assaulting the grand Mountain Protection Formation of Crimson Dragon Island.

The Mountain Protection Formation on Crimson Dragon Island was a Supreme-Grade Immortal Formation. In principle, even an Earth Immortal Patriarch would find it difficult to breach. Unfortunately, the Immortal Vein [a vein of concentrated spiritual energy] beneath this place was depleted, unable to sustain the full power of the Formation [a structured array of energy used for defense or attack] for long.

Under their relentless assault, the formation's radiant glow finally began to dim.

After the group had besieged it for seven days and seven nights, Eldrin Chen, seeing the formation's light grow perilously faint, finally unleashed his full power with a decisive sword strike.

The Celestial Abyss Twin Swords merged in an instant, transforming into a searing white blade of light that descended. With a final, resounding crack, the Mountain Protection Formation shattered. The story continues at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.
