Chapter 1167. Defying the Heavens to Slay an Immortal

Meanwhile, atop the Violet Radiance Divine Isle, 2 figures stood side by side.

A figure clad in jade immortal robes, crowned with a divine coronet, exuded an aura of supreme nobility that cascaded around them.

Another figure wore the "Purple Heaven Corona of the Glittering Stars", draped in imperial robes embroidered with violet patterns. His entire body bathed in endless arcs of violet lightning, and with every flicker of his gaze, an aura of primordial creation seemed to permeate the void.

These 2 individuals were 2 deities of the God Clan, respectively the Violet Radiance Deity and the Azure Radiance Deity.

The Amethyst Deity’s expression shifted with a tinge of complexity as he sighed involuntarily. “2 pure-blooded true dragons—1 skinned and tendons ripped, the other scaled and bones gouged out. That Patriarch of the Returning Abyss truly sired a remarkable daughter.”

"Yes."

The Emerald Radiance Deity also nodded and then spoke, “Back then, the eldest son of the Abyss slaughtered many of our divine descendants, including 1 Divine Scion.”

"Now there's another Chen Xianqing. If he's allowed to mature, he'll likely become quite the nuisance."

As the 2 were conversing, a streak of spiritual light shot through the distant void.

The Divine Sovereign of Azure Radiance took it and glanced over it, then spoke, "Vermilion Dragon Child has sent word. He is willing to offer a piece of top-grade immortal treasure—the Amethyst Radiance Thunder Dragon Jade—in exchange for our aid in blocking the forces of 6 Stars, Celestial Feather, and Flowing Void Islands."

"Oh?"

The Amethyst Deity’s eyes gleamed with divine light as he shook his head and sighed. “If I refine the Amethyst Thunder Dragon Jade, I have a 50 percent chance of breaking through to the ninth level of Ascension.”

"The price offered by this Elder of the Crimson Dragon truly leaves me unable to refuse."

Within the Celestial Sand Archipelago, heaven and earth were enveloped in profound silence.

Upon learning that Chen Xianqing had slain 2 Eldrin (Person Name), Lyra (Person Name) and the others could no longer remain idle.

Realizing the situation had escalated, Qingji and Lyra (Person Name) immediately sent word to Immortal Liuchen (Person Name) and the others before setting off to find Chen Xianqing (Person Name).

They searched for several days and finally found Chen Xianqing on a nameless islet deep within the Celestial Sands Archipelago.

As Lyra (Person Name), Qing Ji, Yan Zi Ji, Lila (Person Name), and Li Huang approached, Chen Xianqing remained oblivious to the gravity of the situation.

She raised the dragon soup, grinning cheekily as she said, "Mother, I've slain 2 evil dragons that were wreaking havoc."

"Preposterous."

Qing Ji’s expression shifted wildly as she grabbed Chen Xianqing’s arm and urged, “Come home with Mother, now!”

"I'm not going back."

Chen Xianqing shook his head resolutely, his tone exceptionally stubborn as he declared, "That calamitous dragon wreaks havoc across the lands with storms and floods. While you all fear Chi Longzi and dare not act, this child holds no terror of her."

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) immediately spoke up, "Let's not waste any more time. We should return to Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) first."

As soon as the words fell, several figures moved to forcibly take Chen Xianqing away.

"Thinking of going back now? I'm afraid it's too late!"

But just then, a cold voice echoed through the void.

7 figures tore through the void and landed, blocking the path ahead.

"Chilongzi."

The moment she saw the newcomer, Lyra's expression shifted imperceptibly. This time, the ones who had arrived were actually 7 Dragon Clan demon immortals.

Among the 7, the strongest was Eldrin (Person Name).

Among the remaining 6 individuals, 3 were at the middle stage of Ascending Immortality realm: the Crimsonblood Serpentdrake, the 9-Headed Hydradrake, and the Voidblack Draconic Serpent.

These 3 dragon clansmen at the Ascension Realm's middle stage, descendants of the former Crimson Dragon Ancestor, all possessed formidable power.

The remaining 3 demon immortals were not to be underestimated either. Led by the Eldrin (Person Name), they all possessed early-stage Ascension Realm cultivation.

With Eldrin now absent, among the maidens who had arrived, only Lyra possessed the strength of the late Ascendant Immortal realm. Qing Ji had surpassed the sixth level of the Ascendant Immortal realm by a small margin, yet she had not reached the late stage of Ascendant Immortal cultivation.

Not long after Li Huang, Yan Zi Ji, and Lila (Person Name) had made their breakthroughs, although both Lila (Person Name) and Yan Zi Ji possessed Celestial Immortal foundations, they were only marginally stronger than those at the third level of Ascendant Realm.

"Can't take them head-on."

In the blink of an eye, Lyra sensed the disparity in their strength and immediately declared, "Do not engage head-on. We retreat for now."

In the blink of an eye, the group decided to retreat while fighting. Qing Ji enveloped Chen Xianqing and prepared to withdraw.

Yet Eldrin (Person Name) remained unperturbed, his gaze icy as he declared, "There is no escape."

As the words fell, Eldrin (Person Name) arrived wielding the Crimson Dragon Shocking World Halberd (Magic Treasure), descending with a force that seemed to sweep away all in its path to suppress his opponent.

Lyra knew she was no match for him, yet she had no choice but to grit her teeth and press forward, channeling her innate immortal treasures like the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword to confront him.

She had also cultivated a Primordial Chaos foundation, her mana comparable to the Eighth Heaven of Ascension. Yet, she lacked a formidable treasure in her grasp, and her divine abilities fell somewhat short. Facing the Crimson Dragon Ancestor, she soon found herself at a disadvantage.

Though Lila and the others possessed remarkable strength, they found themselves utterly overwhelmed when confronted with such circumstances.

"Why haven't 6 Stars and Purple Flame arrived yet?"

Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, a trace of anxiety flashed in Jiang Ling's eyes.

At that very moment, a cataclysmic battle erupted in the distant void. Faintly visible across millions of miles of mountains and rivers, several colossal figures collided with world-shattering force.

Boom—

Chilongzi swept his Crimson Dragon Startling World Halberd across heaven and earth, its overwhelming might sweeping through all directions, forcing Lyra into relentless retreat.

Watching the confrontation erupt in the distance, he remarked coldly, "The 1 you're waiting for... I'm afraid they won't be coming."

Witnessing this scene, Lyra staggered back, her heart sinking further as she saw the bloodshed.

If they hadn't brought Chen Xianqing along, they might have had a chance to retreat unscathed. But now, with Chen Xianqing in tow, escaping would likely come at a tremendous cost.

Qing Ji gritted her teeth, single-handedly holding back 3 mid-Ascension realm experts—the Crimsonblood Dragon Serpent, the 9-Headed Hydra, and the Voidblack True Dragon—before hurling Chen Xianqing away.

"You go first, we must withdraw swiftly."

No!

Chen Xianqing’s face was now pale. Mischievous as she was, even she couldn’t help but show anxiety as she watched her several mothers being forced into steady retreat.

Gripping the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) spear, she clenched her jaw and declared resolutely, "I too can lend you my aid."

Boom—

Amidst the chaotic battle, a dazzling immortal light shot across the sky, striking Chen Xianqing and sending him flying backward.

The Crimson Dragon Crown Prince approached, gripping his war spear, his expression icy as he declared, "The divide between immortals and mortals is as vast as an unbridgeable chasm."

"To defy the Immortals and Demons of the 9 Heavens with a mere mortal body is nothing but a fool's delusion."

"You possess remarkable talent, yet you are merely courting death."

"I don't believe it!"

Chen Xianqing let out a resentful roar, unleashing his Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) immortal silk and Primordial Chaos Golden Hoop in succession. His Pure Lotus World Body surged to its absolute limits as he, a mere mortal, sought to defy a true dragon.

Alas, she was ultimately too young, having yet to cultivate the Laws, Dao Fruits, or an Immortal Physique. Her cultivation remained at the half-immortal realm, and despite possessing a foundation that astonished the world, she could scarcely contend with the Crimson Dragon Crown Prince.

The Crimson Dragon Crown Prince possessed cultivation at the Second Level of Ascendant Immortal realm, with both his immortal essence and true form incomparably powerful. Each strike carried world-shattering force, and within moments, he had thoroughly devastated Chen Xianqing.

"Die!"

The Crimson Dragon Crown Prince spoke with icy detachment, his battle spear cleaving through heaven and earth as it swept forward with an imperious might, seeking to pierce through Chen Xianqing in a single strike.

Not good.

Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Qing Ji and the others felt their hearts sink as they immediately prepared to intervene.

Yet they themselves were already struggling to stay afloat—how could they possibly spare the strength to protect Chen Xianqing?

"My life is at its end!"

Chen Xianqing's face turned deathly pale, a trace of despair flickering in his eyes.

At that very moment, the sky suddenly blossomed with boundless Buddhist radiance, as a golden-haloed figure descended, treading upon the void.

The newcomer was draped in a kasaya, traversing boundless realms in a single step to arrive directly before them, 1 hand seizing the War Spear of the Crimson Dragon Crown Prince.
