Chapter 1278 : Sun Moon and Stars Convergence

Even so, under the siege of five Half-Step Earth Immortals from the Abyssal Sea Region, they still possessed no means to retaliate.

The true trouble was the Earth Fiend Grand Formation. This formation was difficult even for a true Earth Immortal to breach in a short time. Relying solely on the Immortals of the Abyssal Sea was utterly insufficient to withstand it. Even if all the Half-Step Earth Immortals joined forces, breaking through it swiftly would be a formidable challenge.

Furthermore, driven by the Immortals of the Dusk Sun Sea, this grand formation continuously assailed Lyra Jiang and the others, hindering their efforts to slay Setting Sun Ancient Ancestor and his comrades.

It was at this critical juncture that a powerful aura erupted from within Lunar Immortal Island. Luna, the Consort had broken through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm over thirty years prior, but had been consolidating her cultivation, striving to accumulate her Mana [the spiritual energy used to power spells and techniques] to the level befitting the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm.

Currently, her Mana reserves had only reached the halfway mark. Yet, faced with this dire emergency, she could no longer afford the luxury of further consolidation.

Seeing the situation, Lyra Jiang called out urgently, "Elder Solara, that Earth Fiend Grand Formation must be breached with all haste." "Leave it to us!"

Solara, upon hearing this, exchanged a glance with Stella and Luna, the Consort. With flawless synergy born of long partnership, they acted in unison.

The three of them wielded the power of the Sun and Moon and the Starry Dao Rule [the cosmic principle governing the stars]. By joining forces, they could unleash the Divine Ability known as the Sun, Moon, and Stars Three Lights [a radiant convergence of solar, lunar, and stellar energies], a technique specifically designed to counter and dismantle all manner of Restrictive Formations and Formations.

As the three immortals channeled their power, the light of the Sun and Moon and stars shone upon the Earthly Fiend Immortal Formation. This celestial radiance began to erode the formation's incredibly dense Nine Nether Profound Fiend [a profound and malevolent energy from the deepest netherworld] aura, causing it to grow increasingly thin and attenuated.

Judging by this momentum, it seemed it would not be long before the light of the Sun and Moon and stars pierced completely through the Earthly Fiend Immortal Formation, striking down the cultivators who presided over the Formation. For uninterrupted reading, go to audio-novel.com (official site).

"This is bad."

Seeing the situation turn dire, Setting Sun Daoist and Duskfall Scion sought to intervene. Yet, under the relentless pressure exerted by Lyra Jiang, Verdant Consort, and Skywind the Daoist, they found it impossible to break free and lend aid.

High upon the Nine Firmaments, Duskfall Ancient Ancestor's expression shifted sharply. Without hesitation, he channeled his power into the Duskfall Celestial Wheel hovering above his head, commanding it to descend with crushing force, intent on obliterating the group below.

This Duskfall Celestial Wheel was a Mid-Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [a supreme artifact capable of cleaving the heavens]. Among those present, aside from the few who possessed their own World-Opening Treasure [an artifact of primordial creation], none could withstand its might. A single strike would be enough to annihilate even a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator on the very cusp of attaining Earth Immortal status].

Eldrin Chen would not allow such a fate to come to pass. As he poured his profound cultivation base into the formation, the Three Enclosures Immortal-Burial Formation [a legendary formation designed to entomb even immortals] erupted with ever more dazzling radiance.

The Triad Wonder Pearls [three divine pearls of immense power] unleashed boundless divine light, transforming into three resplendent celestial orbs that spiraled and intertwined. Together, they formed an inescapable prison of starlight, firmly locking down the earth-shattering World-Opening Treasure.

"How dare you!"

Witnessing his Duskfall Celestial Wheel ensnared, Duskfall Ancient Ancestor's face turned icy with fury.

With a furious sweep of his sleeve, he summoned forth the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a mighty cauldron imbued with the power of a crimson dragon to suppress realms], commanding it to descend and crush the opposition, still determined to break the siege for his allies.

Yet, Eldrin Chen was prepared. From above his head surged a blinding immortal light, and an ancient, awe-inspiring mirror soared into the sky. It unfurled a radiant beam that enveloped the descending Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron, halting its devastating advance.

The Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void [a profound artifact capable of reflecting and manipulating fundamental forces], having integrated the World-Opening Treasure [a primordial artifact of creation] and the Great Void Condensed Jade [a jade of immense spatial density], though still merely a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure at the pinnacle of immortal-grade artifacts], possessed power far surpassing ordinary treasures of its rank. Furthermore, it inherently countered all manner of Immortal Metals and Divine Materials [legendary ores and materials used in crafting supreme artifacts]. Thus, for a time, it managed to restrain the Dragon's Might Black Gold Cauldron [a mighty cauldron artifact forged with draconic power].

"Damnation!"

Witnessing how tenaciously Eldrin Chen resisted, Duskfall Ancient Ancestor let out a furious roar.

After a moment's hesitation, he swept his sleeve, manifesting a vast expanse of Boundless Void [an endless, formless expanse of nothingness]. "This is..."

Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback. Peering beyond the Void [the primordial state of emptiness], his gaze fell upon an immeasurably vast world.

The world floated within the Void, its expansive lands stretching for countless hundreds of millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters]. At the Four Extremities [the four cardinal boundaries of the world], four colossal Heaven's Pillar [mythical pillars said to hold up the sky] propped up the heavens.

Within this world, billions upon billions of mortals and cultivators pursued their paths. Furthermore, majestic immortal palaces drifted amidst the Nine Heavens Above [the nine celestial realms above the mortal world].

At that very moment, the many figures secluded within those immortal palaces opened their eyes in unison. "The great Creator God, the Progenitor of Immortals who performed the World Creation [the act of creating a world], summons us."

"He faces a formidable foe and requires our aid."

Within the palaces, several dozen figures exchanged hushed words, their expressions turning grave. Each possessed an extraordinary aura, yet their origins and statuses were all distinct.

Among them, some were deities birthed at the very dawn of this world's World Creation [the primordial act of forming a cosmos], beings of innate and supreme existence at the Ascension to Immortality Realm [the realm of true immortality].

Others were of the Human Race [the collective of humankind], born in later ages, who cultivated their way step by step to the Ascension to Immortality Realm [the realm of true immortality], becoming the wielders of this great world's authority over the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles that govern reality]. Yet what they shared was this: they were all born of this realm, beings nurtured over millions of years within this Earth Immortal World [a world anchored by an Earth Immortal, a lower-tier immortal realm].

Compared to Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality] from the outside world, the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles that govern reality] they commanded were anchored within this very world. Their combat prowess held little difference from that of external Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality].

Yet, should this Earth Immortal World [a world anchored by an Earth Immortal, a lower-tier immortal realm] be shattered and destroyed, their power would vanish into nothingness alongside the world's ruin.

Now, sensing the summons from the World-Creating Deity, the assembled immortals and deities all turned their gazes towards the two figures upon the high platform.

Within the immortal palace stood two figures of boundless majesty. One was the incarnation of this world's Heavenly Dao Deity, wielder of the authority over this realm's Firmament [the vault of heaven, the celestial dome]. His cultivation had reached the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a pinnacle state just below the full Earth Immortal realm], making him the Sovereign Emperor of all deities in this world.

The other was a mortal who had achieved Ascending to Immortality [the process of transcending mortality to become an immortal], commanding the rules of this world's earth. He too had attained the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a pinnacle state just below the full Earth Immortal realm] and was known as this world's King of Immortals [a title for a supreme ruler among immortals].

Surveying the gathered divinities, the Sovereign Emperor of Deities spoke, "The divine decree of the World-Creating Deity cannot be defied. We shall march forth to battle."

"Even if aiding Him to vanquish this formidable foe costs us our lives and erases our very Dao, we would face that fate a hundred times without regret."

The King of Immortals [a title for a supreme ruler among immortals] also nodded, his expression grave as he stated, "We immortals and deities are the very wellspring of the World-Creating Deity's power. He would not call upon us to act unless the moment was truly critical."

"Since we have now taken the field, this battle is certain to be perilous beyond measure. It would be wise for all of you to proceed with utmost caution."

As the words fell, King of Immortals was the first to soar into the sky, already following the world's connecting passage to step beyond the bounds of the great realm.

Before King of Immortals could even react, a bolt of Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique born from the primal chaos at the dawn of creation] struck from beyond the heavens.

He hastily summoned a supreme treasure to block it, yet felt a cataclysmic force surge against him. Instantly, he was sent flying through the air, blood spraying from his mouth.

"*Cough*—"

After violently expelling a mouthful of blood, King of Immortals finally looked with immense shock towards the one who had struck.

He beheld a figure clad in a White Robe as pure as snow, channeling power into an ancient cauldron forged from Dragon-Patterned Black Gold [a legendary metal bearing the natural patterns of dragons] to suppress the very heavens and earth. This cauldron clashed against an ancient pagoda that radiated with World-Initiating Qi [the primordial energy used to shape the cosmos at the beginning of time].

"It's a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a legendary artifact of supreme power capable of cleaving open the heavens]—the Duskfall Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda!"

King of Immortals was utterly astounded, his heart trembling with awe as he thought, "The Duskfall Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda... legends say it was the treasure used by the great deity of creation for World Creation [the act of forging a new world from the formless void]."

"For this cauldron to clash with the Duskfall Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda without being at a disadvantage... it must undoubtedly also be a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure."

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, King of Immortals suppressed his injuries, a tremor of lingering fear coursing through him. "I, who bear the title King of Immortals, am a Dao Ancestor [a supreme progenitor of a cultivation path] within a major realm," he reflected.

"I considered myself a formidable power even beyond the Void [the primordial emptiness from which all things emerge]. Yet, I never imagined I could be grievously wounded in a single exchange." "That divine thunder which struck me... could it possibly be the legendary Chaos Divine Thunder [primordial thunder born from the chaos before creation]?"

"Boom!"

While the King of Immortals was reeling in shock, the battle high in the Firmament [the highest vault of heaven] raged on unabated.

Eldrin Chen watched as several dozen celestial beings surged forth from the Duskfall Great World, immediately sensing the gravity of the situation. Without hesitation, he summoned and unleashed the Five-Colored Divine Thunder [a divine thunder technique embodying the power of the five fundamental elements].

He had expected this strike to annihilate them with ease. To his surprise, the newcomers possessed considerable strength, managing to withstand the blow without perishing.

"World Creation [the act of forging a new world from chaos] gives birth to myriad lifeforms. The most exceptional among them grasp the Heaven and Earth Law [the fundamental laws governing heaven and earth] and even the authority over cosmic rules, rivaling celestial beings and even Half-Step Earth Immortals [cultivators on the cusp of attaining true Earth Immortal status]. Is this the Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound, unshakable bedrock of power] of an Earth Immortal Progenitor [the founding ancestor of an Earth Immortal lineage]?"
