Chapter 1188. Red Dragon Changes Hands, Guixu(Place Name) Sea
Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. If this supreme-grade dragon pearl of immortal treasure level could be refined into an external elixir treasure, it would be capable of storing vast amounts of magical power and immortal essence.
With this treasure in his possession, Immortal Tianfeng had effectively gained several times his original magical power. Combined with the might of the Starry Cosmos Ancient Bell, his strength was likely no less than that of a Quasi-Earth Immortal.
If not for Eldrin's innate immortal treasure, the Primordial Azure Lotus Platform, even he would likely covet it greatly.
Handing the dragon pearl to Celestial Wind Immortal, Eldrin stored away the other treasures: the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, the Crimson Flame Qi, and the Golden Scale Armor.
Of the 2 treasures, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) and the Golden Scale Armor, the latter was severely damaged and would likely prove difficult to restore.
Observing this, Celestial Wind Immortal couldn't help but remark, "With your current cultivation level, Fellow Daoist, restoring this Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Golden Scale Armor would prove rather challenging."
"How about I act as a matchmaker and ask the Heavenflame Eldrin to restore this treasure for you?"
Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily. The fact that Old Ancestor Tianyan had previously restored the Starry Cosmos Ancient Bell for Celestial Wind Immortal indicated a rather amicable relationship between Celestial Wind Immortal and Old Ancestor Tianyan.
Moreover, the Skyflame Patriarch had not coveted this Earth Immortal treasure, which shows that his character could be considered quite commendable.
Had Eldrin been left to seek out a figure like the Celestial Flame Ancestor—a terrestrial immortal—to repair his supreme treasure, he would never have dared. But with the Celestial Wind Immortal acting as an intermediary, he felt a measure of confidence stir within him.
At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but nod and say, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Elder Brother."
You flatter me.
Seeing this, Celestial Wind Immortal smiled and said, "In this great battle, I have obtained a supreme-grade Dragon Pearl. What does lending you some assistance amount to?"
With those words spoken, Eldrin began taking stock of the treasures bestowed by the rain.
Among the remaining treasures, there were still many rare celestial treasures, including 7 or 8 top-grade immortal herbs and precious artifacts.
Star Princess had already obtained a supreme-grade Immortal Treasure Starfruit, yet Eldrin still took a high-grade immortal treasure from his collection and presented it to her.
The remaining Immortal Artifacts were still plentiful. Each of the 20-some immortals who participated in the battle received 1 or 2 artifacts, and everyone’s faces lit up with joyous smiles.
After the treasures had been distributed, Immortal Wind and Star Maiden departed 1 after another.
Eldrin turned to the remaining crowd and declared, "We have seized the Crimson Dragon Island, yet within the Crimson Dragon Sea, several immortal islands belonging to the Divine Clan and the Demon Clan remain unconquered.
"Let's seize this opportunity to take complete control of all the immortal islands."
"Alright."
The immortals nodded in unison, then charged toward the other celestial islands as 1.
Unfortunately, it seemed the Divine Clan had long been prepared. The deities from several of their celestial islands had already fled.
Before parting ways, they scavenged every last rare immortal treasure on the island, leaving only an empty immortal isle for Eldrin.
Eldrin swept through the celestial islands 1 after another, soon arriving at the final isle. His eyes flickered with unconcealed astonishment.
Upon this immortal isle, he had assumed it to be another deserted island, yet unexpectedly, he detected a trace of demonic immortal aura.
At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but ask, "Which immortal island is this?"
"This is the Isle of Wind and Thunder," declared Immortal 6-Chen before continuing, "If my deduction is correct, the 1 residing on this island should be the Stormfire Thunder Ape."
"Oh?"
Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily before remarking, "I've heard that divine ape has cultivated the innate Primordial Windfire Celestial Fiend Body and comprehended the Laws of Thunder. Truly a rare seed of a Celestial Immortal."
"Today, I shall have the chance to witness it firsthand."
As the words faded, Eldrin flicked his fingers with a faint hum. The twin Li Fire Swords of the Returning Abyss converged and swept downward, cleaving through the immortal island's grand formation.
The grand formation was shattered, and the Wind-Fire-Thunder Divine Ape who was in secluded cultivation within was immediately enraged.
But then, a divine ape leaped out with a furious roar, shouting, "Who dares disturb this monkey lord's secluded cultivation? Come forth and meet your doom!"
With those words, he brandished the Wind Thunder Immortal Iron Rod and struck toward the Sky-Severing Twin Swords, actually deflecting the remaining force of the twin swords.
Eldrin’s eyes lit up. Although the residual power of his Heaven-Severing Twin Swords was not at its peak, it was still far beyond what a mid-stage Ascension Realm cultivator could withstand.
This Windfire Thunder Ape, merely at the sixth level of Immortal Ascension, could trade blows evenly with the Celestial Departure Twin Swords—its strength likely rivaled that of the late Immortal Ascension stage.
What a brazen monkey.
Eldrin (Person Name) let out an admiring sigh, sheathed the Celestial Departure Twin Blades, then struck down with a palm strike that carried the force of a thunderbolt.
That wind.
The Fire Thunder God Ape, despite its extraordinary innate talents, was no match for the Great Perfection Primordial Indestructible Body. It was instantly sent flying, blood spraying from its mouth, and pinned down on the Windfire Thunder God Island, unable to move.
Only then did the Wind-Fire-Thunder Ape realize something was amiss and couldn't resist exclaiming, "Who art thou? Why dost thou storm our gates with violence?"
Eldrin smiled faintly, seizing the Wind-Fire-Thunder Divine Ape in 1 swift motion. Gazing at the ceaselessly struggling divine ape in his palm, he remarked.
"I am the Eldrin of the Returning Abyss, the new master of the Crimson Dragon Sea. Today, I have come to settle accounts with this immortal isle."
Hearing this, the Windfire Thunder God Ape’s expression shifted abruptly.
He never expected that after merely a few tens of thousands of years in secluded cultivation, the Scarlet Dragon Sea would undergo such drastic changes.
Glancing around, the Windfire Thunder God Ape realized the tide had turned against him and escape was impossible. He immediately begged for mercy: "Your Excellency's divine might is unparalleled, yet this humble demon bears no grudge against you. I implore you to spare my life and let me depart."
Eldrin smiled faintly, then shook his head and said, "This deity's mission to purge the Crimson Dragon Sea should entail executing all its demon immortals and divine beings. Yet you have truly never incurred my wrath."
"However, by seizing the Priceless Immortal Island, I have forged a karmic bond with you and will certainly not let you depart."
"Very well. Considering your cultivation journey has not been easy, this venerable 1 is reluctant to add more bloodshed to my karma."
"If you are willing to become the Mountain Guardian Spirit of my sect, I shall spare your life."
Witnessing this, the Wind-Fire-Thunder Divine Ape immediately dropped to his knees with a bitter smile and said, "Many thanks for Your Excellency's grace. This humble ape is eternally grateful."
"The boy is teachable."
As the Wind-Fire Thunder God Ape descended, a faint smile graced Eldrin’s lips.
This Windfire Thunder Ape possessed extraordinary innate talent. With proper nurturing, it had a considerable chance of breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm. Even if placed within an Earth Immortal blessed land, it could be cultivated as a guardian divine beast.
To return to our story, after capturing the Wind-Fire-Thunder God Island, all 16 immortal islands of the Crimson Dragon Sea had fallen under humanity's control.
Coupled with the Taiwei Island cultivated by the Chen Family over 10 1000 years, the Crimson Dragon Sea now boasted a full 17 immortal islands. It could be said that the entire Crimson Dragon Sea was firmly under the control of the human race.
To this, the immortals of the Crimson Dragon Sea were utterly delighted.
Eldrin felt profound relief in his heart as well. After returning to Verdant Chariot Mountain, he invited the immortal cultivators of the Crimson Dragon Sea's human race to convene at Verdant Chariot Mountain for discussions.
That day, in the main hall of Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location), over 20 immortals all wore expressions of joy.
The 6 Stars Immortal stroked his beard with a chuckle, unable to resist being the first to speak. "Honored guests, now that the Crimson Dragon Sea has changed rulers, henceforth it ought to be renamed the Abyssal Return Sea.
"Hahaha, indeed, indeed."
Celestial Feather Immortal nodded, then turned his gaze to Eldrin and said, "From this day forth, we shall rely on our esteemed in-law."
"You flatter me. In my ascension to rule over the Abyssal Sea, every 1 of you has contributed no small measure of merit."
Eldrin smiled faintly, then seized the opportunity to say, "Now that I preside over the Abyssal Sea, and our families are bound by marriage ties, why not join the Return-to-Abyss Alliance?"
