Chapter 1239 : The Crimson Sun's Veiled Heart

Regarding this, Eldrin Chen did not hesitate either. He immediately headed towards the core of the Blessed Land [a region of profound spiritual energy and natural wonders, often a cultivation paradise].

The three of them soared through the Void [the empty space between realms or dimensions] and soon arrived at the location of the Crimson Sun Blessed Land's core.

It was a magnificent and vast volcano, towering like a pillar reaching for the heavens. Within it flowed crimson magma. A semi-transparent, scarlet light barrier, shaped like an immense inverted bowl of Glaze, enveloped the entire structure.

"The Crimson Sun Profound Heaven Formation,"

Eldrin Chen murmured, his gaze turning grave.

This Crimson Sun Profound Heaven Formation was a peerless Formation [a mystical array or defensive barrier powered by spiritual energy and specific patterns] laid down during the prime of the Crimson Sun Blessed Land. Several Earth Immortal Progenitor [cultivators who have ascended to a profound, earth-bound immortal realm] had joined forces, using the Fire Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated fire-attribute spiritual energy] of the Crimson Sun Blessed Land as its foundation.

This formation condensed the power of the entire Blessed Land, granting it extraordinary defensive capabilities. If an Earth Immortal Progenitor were presiding over it, even an existence at the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm might struggle to breach it.

However, currently, this formation lacked an Earth Immortal Progenitor to guard it, greatly diminishing its power. If the assembled Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators on the very cusp of the Earth Immortal realm] joined forces, they likely stood a fair chance of breaking through.

When Eldrin Chen arrived, he found that fifteen Half-Step Earth Immortal had already gathered there. Among them were Ancient Ancestor from various major Earth Immortal Blessed Land, as well as lords of individual domains from the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas.

"Although the Fire Vein within this Crimson Sun region holds so many treasures, with this many Half-Step Earth Immortal present, obtaining them will likely be no easy feat." Experience the full epic at audio-novel*com.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Eldrin Chen's gaze sharpened with solemn intensity.

At that very moment, from high above the Endless Void, the Azure Simurgh Immortal Maiden of the Phoenix Clan spoke with a cool, detached tone, "Since all have assembled, let us not waste any more time."

"The Earth Immortal World [a higher plane of existence for powerful cultivators] is on the brink of collapse. It is paramount that we join forces to breach this Formation [a powerful array or defensive barrier]."

Yet, the gathered Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have nearly ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] remained unmoved, each clearly intent on conserving their strength for the coming struggle over the treasures.

It was then that a man clad in fiery crimson Daoist robes gave a slight nod, his expression turning frosty as he declared, "I understand your calculations. Yet, all present are paragons who have cultivated for countless years. Who among us can truly outmaneuver the other?"

"Rather than waste our time in this stalemate, let us combine our efforts and shatter this Formation with all haste."

"Let my words be clear: should anyone here dare to hold back their strength, they shall face my wrath without mercy."

Upon hearing this, the complexions of the several Earth Immortal Progenitor [foundational ancestors of the Earth Immortal realm] shifted subtly.

The speaker was known as the Mulberry Flame Daoist, hailing from the Mulberry Flame Sea Region and reigning as the undisputed master of the Mulberry Flame Sea itself.

This figure had weathered six Great Tribulation [cataclysmic trials of heavenly retribution], ranking him among the top three supreme Half-Step Earth Immortal within the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas. He even held the potential to ascend to the revered status of a Seven Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived seven heavenly tribulations]. Thus, his words commanded immediate and grave attention from all present.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen's eyes also flickered slightly. After a brief moment of thought, he spoke, "Since that is the case, let us proceed."

Upon hearing his words, the eyes of the assembled immortals all shifted subtly.

Eldrin Chen was the master of the Abyssal Sea. Though his fame was relatively recent, it was already formidable.

Previously, they had looked down upon Eldrin Chen, believing his dominance over the Abyssal Sea was only possible because the region lacked any powerhouse at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm.

However, in a recent battle, Eldrin Chen had defeated a Half-Step Earth Immortal in mere exchanges and seized a priceless Immortal Scripture, which naturally drew their full attention.

"He is a peerless Heaven's Chosen, likely one who has laid the foundation of Three Dao Fruits to unleash such awe-inspiring, immortal-slaying combat prowess."

Setting Sun Ancient Ancestor murmured, his gaze growing increasingly somber.

Yet, a moment later, he reined in his killing intent and stated calmly, "The three Fellow Daoist speak wisely. With a treasure land before us, we must unite our efforts."

"Should anyone dare shirk their duty in this battle, do not blame us for being ruthless."

With several combatants possessing the power of a Six Tribulation Half-Step Earth Immortal voicing their stance, the remaining Half-Step Earth Immortal cultivators felt a measure of reassurance settle within them.

They exchanged a brief, wordless glance, then nodded in unison. "It shall be so," they affirmed.

"Then let us begin."

Mulberry Flame Daoist spoke, and with a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a fiery Divine Ability. It manifested as a sky-filling shower of Crimson Radiance Immortal Flames, descending like countless fiery-red mulberry leaves. They crashed against the Formation, erupting into wave after wave of rippling energy.

Seeing this, the other Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have partially transcended mortality but not yet fully ascended to Earth Immortal status] hesitated not a moment. They too unleashed a dazzling array of Immortal Treasure [powerful artifacts forged with immortal power] and Divine Ability [supernatural techniques powered by profound cultivation]. Their combined assault rained down, causing the Formation's protective radiance to tremble and flicker chaotically.

The full-powered onslaught of a Half-Step Earth Immortal is, in raw force, nearly indistinguishable from that of a true Earth Immortal Progenitor [a fully ascended immortal who has forged their own internal world]. The key difference lies in the lack of an Earth Immortal World [an internal realm that provides boundless power] and its inexhaustible Mana [spiritual energy] reserves, rendering them incapable of sustaining such a furious battle for long.

Now, with over a dozen Half-Step Earth Immortal striking with their full might, the effect was scarcely different from a dozen Earth Immortal Progenitor joining the fray. In mere moments, the mighty Mountain Guardian Grand Formation was battered to the brink of collapse, teetering precariously. This chapter is provided by audi0-n0vel.c0m. Support the original.

"BOOM!"

With a deafening, earth-shaking roar, the Formation was finally breached by sheer force, revealing the power-saturated Volcanic Immortal Spring [a sacred spring within a volcano, imbued with immortal energies] it had guarded.

And within that Volcanic Immortal Spring, one after another, dazzling Immortal Treasures [artifacts of immense power, forged or refined by immortal beings] shimmered into view. They blazed with a divine, eye-searing radiance, their collective glow so brilliant it resembled a field of stars—a veritable constellation of power.

For a moment, every single Half-Step Earth Immortal present was struck dumb, utterly captivated by the sight.

The treasures that have accumulated and been nurtured within a Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a sacred realm cultivated by an Earth Immortal] over tens of millions of years are of a truly staggering magnitude.

With just a fleeting glance, Eldrin Chen saw three or four Eighth Rank Heaven-Opening Immortal Treasure [supreme artifacts of the eighth rank, capable of splitting the heavens] within these volcanic springs, and more than twenty Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the pinnacle grade of immortal artifacts].

The remaining Immortal Treasures and Spiritual Object [enchanted objects imbued with spiritual power] numbered in the hundreds, each one radiating a dazzling immortal light.

"The Volcanic Immortal Spring [a spring of immortal energy within a volcano], the very place where the Crimson Sun Celestial God was nurtured in ages past."

"True Source Crimson Flame Stone, Crimson Jade Immortal Marrow, Verdant Flame Immortal Metal, Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, Nine Heavens Divine Flame Jade…"

The assembled immortals murmured the names of these Immortal Treasures and rare objects, their hearts swelling with ever-greater ecstasy.

The True Source Crimson Flame Stone, Crimson Jade Immortal Marrow, and Verdant Flame Immortal Metal were all eighth-rank World Creation [pertaining to the creation or fundamental principles of a world] rarities, materials capable of forging World-Initiating Immortal Treasure [artifacts of power sufficient to initiate a world's creation]. Even an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a progenitor-level Earth Immortal, a being of immense power] would be driven to madness for them.

The remaining Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure were also treasures of soul-shaking value. Any single one obtained by the Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have nearly ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] present would significantly augment their combat prowess.

With such treasures laid bare before their eyes, their hearts surged with unparalleled joy.

The Mulberry Flame Immortal [a cultivator who has achieved immortality] immediately took a step forward, transforming into a crimson streak of Swiftflight Light [a high-speed flight technique] and soaring towards the location of the Fire Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated fire-attribute spiritual energy].

The other immortals, witnessing this, wasted not a moment. They frantically activated their Escape Art Divine Ability [a mystical technique for swift movement or teleportation] and surged toward the Fire Vein within the Blessed Land [a region of concentrated spiritual energy and natural wonders].

Eldrin Chen moved among the crowd, but a sudden, overwhelming sense of wrongness struck him—a lethal danger was approaching.

"Danger! Fall back, now!"

In that fleeting instant, Eldrin Chen felt the deadly peril closing in.

Acting on pure reflex, he grabbed Lyra Jiang and Verdant Consort and propelled them backward in a violent retreat. Simultaneously, he summoned the protective aura of the Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl [an enchanted artifact embodying the balance of opposing cosmic forces] and unleashed his Primordial Chaos True Aura [a defensive technique channeling the primordial, unformed essence of creation].

By then, the Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have nearly ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] also sensed the impending doom. They immediately employed their own diverse methods to shield themselves before fleeing madly into the distance.

Yet, for some, it was already too late. A deafening roar erupted from within the Void [the empty space or the concept of primordial nothingness].

At the very core of the Blessed Land, a blinding torrent of radiant light exploded forth. In that same moment, the towering, cloud-piercing volcano detonated, unleashing a boundless sea of flame.

"BOOM—"

Instantly, an infinite tide of fire surged outward, a conflagration capable of scorching the heavens themselves, swallowing everything in its path. Your portal to cultivation novels: audi0-n0vel.c0m.
