Chapter 1265 : Clash of Immortal Swords and Divine Thunder

"Ding."

The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss erupted with a dazzling light, transforming into a brilliant stream of Sword Qi [sword energy] that descended beside Eldrin Chen and began to orbit him ceaselessly.

Gazing at the faintly trembling Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, Eldrin Chen spoke with a placid expression, "Then, as you wish!"

As his words fell, Eldrin Chen flicked his sleeve. With a deafening roar, a resplendent bolt of Five-Colored Divine Thunder [Divine Thunder embodying the five elements] crashed down, striking directly at the head of Su Wei Ancient Ancestor.

"Five Elements Divine Thunder?"

Su Wei Ancient Ancestor's expression turned solemn in an instant. He hurled the celestial halberd in his hand into the vast sea, then clasped his palms together, channeling his true power. With a metallic shriek, he condensed a terrifying blade of Sword Miasma [a lethal, condensed energy of sword intent and baleful aura]!

The might of this Sword Miasma was unparalleled. It cleaved through the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder in a single instant, its residual force continuing unabated as it slashed toward Eldrin Chen.

"The Great White Metal Immortal-Slaying Sword Miasma!"

Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted slightly as he recognized the origin of this Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power cultivated by immortals].

This Divine Ability was Su Wei Ancient Ancestor's signature technique. Legend held that in ancient times, Su Wei Ancient Ancestor had gathered Western Pole Metallic Essence [a rare metallic spiritual ore from the Western Pole] and Baleful Qi [a malevolent, destructive energy] from the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, fusing them with the marrow of Venus [the Metal Star, Venus] to forge and refine it into this ultimate art. The complete novel can be found at audi0-n0vel.c0m.

From the moment this Divine Ability manifested into the world, it possessed an edge sharp enough to slay immortals and execute gods. A single wisp of its Sword Intent could World Creation, capable of quelling the great calamities of a myriad worlds.

This Su Wei Ancient Ancestor had cultivated the Dao for millions of years, having weathered several Great Tribulation and slain three powerhouses of the Half-Step Earth Immortal level. One among them had met their end precisely beneath this very World-Opening Divine Ability.

It could be said that the might of this Divine Ability ranked among the most formidable even amidst the pantheon of World-Opening Divine Ability techniques.

"What a viciously sharp sword miasma!"

As the 'Great White Metal Immortal-Slaying Sword Miasma' cleaved towards him, Eldrin Chen could not help but murmur a word of admiration.

With a mere gesture of his hand, two resplendent immortal pearls soared into the sky. They intertwined, giving birth to a protective aura of Yin-Yang energies that cascaded down, intercepting that brilliant sword miasma.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he summoned forth the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand to press down with overwhelming force.

The Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand possessed the profound mysteries of Primordial Unity Qi, combining the effects of suppression and sealing. As it descended with a thunderous roar, it was like a colossal hand capable of overturning the heavens to subdue all beneath it.

Facing such an assault, the Su Wei Ancient Ancestor stood utterly unflinching. From above his head flew a Treasure Mirror belonging to Glaze, erupting with a light that rivaled the sun to clash against the firmament, blocking Eldrin Chen's strike.

This mirror was named the Celestial Wheel Mirror, once the signature treasure of the Human Race Half-Step Earth Immortal, Celestial Wheel Daoist.

One million years ago, Celestial Wheel Daoist was slain by Su Wei Ancient Ancestor, and thus the Celestial Wheel Mirror fell into the hands of Su Wei Ancient Ancestor.

Witnessing the formidable power of the Celestial Wheel Mirror, Eldrin Chen's expression remained utterly unperturbed.

Without a moment's pause, he acted again. He summoned the Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine light embodying the five elements, capable of capturing and suppressing all things] to envelop the Celestial Wheel Mirror, instantly seizing control of this Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords transformed into dazzling Sword Qi [condensed sword energy] that surged forth, cleaving directly towards the head of Su Wei Ancient Ancestor.

"Die!"

As the two Supreme Grade Immortal Swords descended upon him, Su Wei Ancient Ancestor let out a furious roar. He once more produced an ancient token engraved with dense immortal patterns, then manifested his White Tiger True Form [the primordial, true physical form of the White Tiger lineage] to meet the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords head-on.

That token was also known as the Heaven's Might Command [a command token that channels celestial authority to empower the user's physical form]. It was the third Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure of the White Tiger Ancient Ancestor. This treasure was not adept at offense or defense, but it could be fused with one's Immortal Physique [a cultivator's immortal-grade physical body] to significantly augment its power.

The White Tiger True Form of Su Wei Ancient Ancestor had already been cultivated to the Heaven-Opening Realm [a profound realm of physical cultivation]. Yet, under the amplification of the Heaven's Might Command, the might of his physical body still increased by more than thirty percent.

Such a formidable physique originally possessed the power to World Creation [a metaphor for strength capable of splitting heaven and earth]. After being amplified by thirty percent by the Heaven's Might Command, it became powerful enough to rend a Primordial Desolation Dragon bare-handed and cleave a Nine Heavens Deity [a deity of the highest heavens] in two. Even an Earth Immortal Progenitor would have to retreat before such might.

Even the formidable power of the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords actually struggled to suppress the peerless World-Opening True Body [a true physical form of ultimate power, said to rival the force that created the world] of Su Wei Ancient Ancestor.

"A Six Tribulation Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has survived six heavenly tribulations and stands at the threshold of true Earth Immortality], their methods are truly extraordinary!"

Eldrin Chen nodded, his estimation of the Su Wei Ancient Ancestor rising considerably.

No wonder it was said that any Six Tribulation Half-Step Earth Immortal possessed combat power that could, with great effort, rival a true Earth Immortal Level [a foundational immortal realm]. Unless their Mana [the refined spiritual energy used to power divine abilities and treasures] was completely exhausted, they would face even an Earth Immortal Progenitor [an Earth Immortal who has founded a lineage] without a trace of fear.

The power displayed by this Su Wei Ancient Ancestor was indeed formidable. Were they outside the Zhou Heavenly Stars Grand Formation, Eldrin Chen doubted he could be certain of slaying him.

But now, trapped within the grand formation, the ancient ancestor was nothing more than a cornered beast, fighting a desperate, futile battle.

Eldrin Chen possessed the Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest known quality within the Immortal realm], the Primordial Green Lotus Platform. His reserves of Mana were more than twice as vast as those of the Su Wei Ancient Ancestor. All he needed to do was outlast his foe, to drag the battle on until the Su Wei Ancient Ancestor's Mana was spent. That moment would herald the ancient ancestor's doom.

For while the Su Wei Ancient Ancestor's World-Opening True Body [a divine ability that manifests a primordial, world-sundering physical form] was mighty, every activation of the Heaven's Might Command, every unleashing of his various Divine Ability [supernatural techniques powered by cultivation] and Immortal Treasure [enchanted artifacts used by immortals], consumed his precious Mana.

Once his Mana was utterly depleted, relying solely on the raw power of his World-Opening True Body would, at best, elevate him to the level of a Five Tribulation Half-Step Earth Immortal. He would stand no chance against Eldrin Chen.

"Yet I cannot afford to drag this out either,"

Eldrin Chen thought, his gaze sweeping the surroundings. He saw that the battles between Verdant Consort, Stella, and the others against the three True Dragon [a dragon of pure, ancient lineage] Ancient Ancestor were still locked in a tense stalemate.

The duel between Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have partially transcended mortality] could be described as perilous in the extreme.

To prevent his companions from suffering injury or even the risk of falling [dying in battle], he resolved not to prolong the struggle any further.

With a mere gesture, the Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl [a mystical orb embodying the opposing forces of Yin and Yang] above his head intertwined and crashed down with thunderous force, aimed directly at Su Wei Ancient Ancestor.

"Now!"

As the Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl descended upon him, Su Wei Ancient Ancestor felt not alarm but grim satisfaction. Channeling his Immortal Essence [the purified energy of an immortal], he caused the boundless sea to erupt with a blinding radiance.

A dazzling, resplendent halberd of celestial light shot forth from the ocean depths, streaking directly toward Eldrin Chen.

"Beware!"

The hearts of the onlookers clenched. This radiant halberd was none other than the Su Wei Heaven's Halberd [a divine weapon of immense power], hurled by Su Wei Ancient Ancestor.

Seeing Eldrin Chen deploy the Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl, the ancient foe had seized the perfect moment to strike, propelling the Su Wei Heaven's Halberd with lethal intent toward Eldrin Chen. *Whoosh!*

As the Su Wei Heaven's Halberd cleaved through the air toward him, Eldrin Chen appeared to have anticipated its arrival all along.

With a single step, he shifted away, the Su Wei Heaven's Halberd [a supreme-grade immortal weapon] grazing past him by a hair's breadth.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he activated the Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl [a powerful magical treasure embodying the forces of yin and yang] to press down, smashing Su Wei Ancient Ancestor and sending him flying, blood spraying from his mouth.

"A petty trick. Did you think you could deceive me?"

Eldrin Chen murmured. In that instant, the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords [a pair of legendary swords] merged as one, unleashing a dazzlingly brilliant sword aura that cleaved downward, piercing straight through Su Wei Ancient Ancestor's chest.

Yet, contrary to all expectation, Su Wei Ancient Ancestor ignored his own defense entirely. He once again channeled the Su Wei Heaven's Halberd, reversing its trajectory to descend from the Nine Firmaments [the highest heavens] and crush down upon Eldrin Chen.

"Hmm?"

Facing this strike, Eldrin Chen was initially unconcerned. The Su Wei Heaven's Halberd was merely a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest classification of immortal weapon]. Even with its wielder's full power behind it, his Primordial Chaos True Aura [a divine protective aura born from primordial chaos] should have been more than sufficient to withstand the blow.

Even if its power proved unexpectedly great and the Primordial Chaos True Aura was breached, his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a physique tempered to near-invulnerability within primordial chaos] would have nothing to fear from such an attack.

Yet, as the Su Wei Heaven's Halberd descended, a sliver of perilous intuition stirred within him.

In the space of a single breath, Eldrin Chen chose not to meet the blow head-on. Within his dantian [the core energy center of a cultivator], the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a treasure capable of manipulating space] rotated faintly. Instantly, it carried him through the Boundless Void [the endless expanse of nothingness between realms], retreating a distance of one million Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters].

Only at that moment, as he turned back, did he perceive the heavens and the earth shudder with a profound tremor. Find thousands of chapters at audio-novel.com (official site).
