Chapter 1216 Refining the Tianyu(Species)

"Exactly!"

The visitor nodded, his expression calm as he began to speak.

The Sky Prison clansman possessed an immensely burly frame, with 2 Demon Lord horns sprouting from his head and a pair of crimson bat-like wings stretching from his back. In his hands, he gripped a massive blood-red war blade.

"I have been watching you for a long time."

"Your 5-Colored Divine Light encompasses all 5 elements. As long as it exists within this mortal realm and remains bound by the 5 elements, it can overcome all things and capture any object."

"You also possess a pair of immortal swords of unparalleled lethality. Even if a Ninth-Level Ascension cultivator wielding supreme-grade immortal treasures were to attack, they would most likely be no match for you."

The Sky Prison clansman spoke slowly, his expression 1 of absolute confidence as he stated, "It is a pity that our Sky Prison clan was born from the primordial miasma of heaven and earth."

"The cultivation art you practice and the divine weapons you forge are all condensed from karmic malevolence, existing beyond the 5 Elements. They are your natural bane!"

Eldrin listened quietly, giving a slight nod of approval.

The words of the Sky Prison Clan held true. His 5-Colored Divine Light, which specialized in suppressing the 5 elements, proved utterly useless against this Sky Prison Clan.

Without the 5-Colored Divine Light as his trump card, facing an enemy at the 9th level of Ascension, this battle had indeed become far more unpredictable.

After all, Eldrin currently had no other supreme-grade immortal treasures in his possession for protection.

Even so, he calmly replied, "I have long heard that the Sky Prison Clan is 1 of the 100 Races of Immortal Spirits, and foremost among the 6 great 100 Races of the Western Aura Divine Abyss Sea."

"I have long wished to witness your prowess. Today, I shall seek your guidance."

"Then perish!"

With a furious roar, the Sky Prison clansman unfurled twin wings from his back. In an instant, a tide of overwhelming baleful energy swept across the heavens, bringing him directly before Eldrin in the blink of an eye.

"What domineering baleful aura!"

Eldrin felt a faint chill between his brows. When he lifted his head, he saw the crimson great blade already descending upon him in a vertical slash.

Faced with such a murderous aura radiating from the oncoming opponent, Eldrin remained utterly unshaken.

He summoned the power of the Primordial Chaos and Infinite Nothingness, a torrent of immense force surging through his body. With a sudden motion, he struck out with his palm toward the blood-red blade, only to feel a faint, stinging pain in his hand.

He could feel it—streams of baleful energy had already invaded his palm, ceaselessly corroding his immortal body.

"Hmph—"

Eldrin let out a cold snort. The Primordial Chaos energy within him instantly transformed, erupting as pure yang flames of chaos that surged forth and refined the baleful aura in the blink of an eye.

He then raised his hand and summoned the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure). The Primordial Pure Yang flames surged forth, coalescing into a divine sword of pure yang that descended with overwhelming force, repelling the blood-colored broadsword in a resonating clash.

Not only that, the residual power of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) persisted, forcibly cleaving through the overwhelming sinister energy and striking directly toward the space between the Heavenly Prison race's eyebrows.

Pure Yang Heavenly Flame Law?

The Tianyu clansman roared with fury, a flicker of shock and rage crossing his features.

The Sky Prison Clan, born of the world's baleful energies, possessed strength far surpassing that of immortals at the same cultivation level. Yet they remained most vulnerable to suppression by divine abilities such as the Pure Yang Heavenly Flames and the True Sunfire.

Now, as they witnessed the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire sweeping across the heavens, the Sky Prison Clan could no longer remain idle.

"This individual possesses extraordinary talent and cultivates the Pure Yang Celestial Flame, which is the ultimate bane of our Sky Prison Clan. Should he break through to the Earth Immortal realm, he would likely become a grave threat to our kind."

"The grand scheme of our clan approaches, and sooner or later we must shed all pretense of cordiality with the human race. This man must not be allowed to live!"

In the blink of a thought, the Sky Prison clansman’s killing intent surged to a boil. The Blood Prison Heaven Blade in his hand churned with overwhelming baleful energy, as if poised to cleave apart an entire great world.

Watching the Sky Prison Clan's overwhelming killing intent, Eldrin felt a trace of bewilderment. Their murderous aura seemed far too resolute.

"Perhaps it was born of baleful energy, driven to madness in the heat of battle. Or perhaps... it truly sought my life."

"Regardless of the method, all are merely seeking their own demise."

Eldrin's heart stirred abruptly, and he no longer held back. The Yin-Yang Void Realm, the Earth Sovereign Bell, the Heaven-Sundering Twin Swords—all his treasures were unleashed at once.

With Eldrin's current level of cultivation, even without summoning his supreme immortal treasure, he would effortlessly overpower 2 or 3 ordinary adversaries joining forces against him.

The Sky Prison Clan was also extraordinary. This race was born from the karma of celestial calamity, their bodies brimming with boundless baleful aura. Their combat prowess far surpassed that of demon immortals and divine spirits of the same realm.

Among humans, demons, and deities, only the most exceptional could stand as their equals; ordinary immortals would likely be defeated in 1-on-1 combat.

If not for the fact that the Sky Prison clan was far too few in number and currently lacked a supreme expert at the Heavenly Immortal level to oversee them, it would have been uncertain who truly held sway over the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea.

Thus, when 2 such peerless powerhouses clashed, they plunged into a pinnacle confrontation from the very outset.

This was a true clash of pinnacle masters, where neither side had relied on the power of supreme immortal treasures, showcasing the ultimate combat prowess of the Ascendant Realm.

Eldrin had never once been defeated by a cultivator of the same realm since he began his path of cultivation, and even among Immortal Ascension experts, he had scarcely encountered a worthy rival. Yet now, he faced a warrior from the Sky Prison Clan whose cultivation base surpassed his by 2 whole levels—a master at the peak of the Ninth Heaven of Immortal Ascension. Their battle raged fiercely, stretching over 9 100 exchanges without a clear victor.

"Not quite the foundation of a Great Perfected Being, but it comes remarkably close."

After a full 9 100 exchanges, Eldrin finally gained a slight upper hand, allowing him a rare moment to assess these Sky Prison tribesmen.

This shocked him deeply. If every member of the Celestial Prison tribe possessed such combat prowess, the potential of this bloodline would be nearly unimaginable.

"Wrong."

An instant later, Eldrin regained his composure.

The Sky Prison Clan was born of the world's baleful energies, their power derived entirely from the miasma of heaven and earth and the aura of calamity.

Only when the Great Calamity descends, as the vital energies of heaven and earth wane and boundless baleful qi erupts, plunging the world into chaos, will new Celestial Prison kin be born.

Moreover, the strength of the Tianyu Clan stemmed from the world's baleful energy. For any Tianyu clansman to cultivate, they must harness this baleful energy and even plunge into boundless calamities of slaughter to advance further.

The strength displayed by the Celestial Prison Clan before our eyes suggests they must have committed no small number of atrocities.

"Indeed!"

"Then you deserve to die even more."

Thoughts racing through his mind, Eldrin steeled his resolve to kill.

He no longer held back, allowing the surging Primordial Chaos power to course through his entire being. With each step, he struck out horizontally, sending the Sky Prison clansmen reeling and coughing up blood mid-air.

"Ah..."

The Sky Prison clansmen were sent flying in defeat, their faces betraying traces of disbelief.

He never could have imagined that despite his profound foundation and cultivation 2 minor realms higher, he would still be defeated at the hands of Eldrin.

This struck him as utterly inconceivable, fueling the murderous intent in his heart to burn even fiercer.

He forcibly suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, turned around, and strode beyond the stone pillars, resolved to settle the score with Eldrin another day.

Yet at that very moment, boundless chains of natural law interlaced and descended from the void.

Eldrin unleashed the Primordial Sunfire Law, flooding the void with divine chains of order that sealed all paths and utterly cut off his retreat.

The supreme principle of the Pure Yang Heavenly Flame at the Zenith Heaven Realm was the bane of the Sky Prison Clan. Moreover, as it fused into the Primordial Chaos Wuji Principle, its power far surpassed that of ordinary principles. No matter how relentlessly he assailed it, his efforts proved futile.

Eldrin showed no mercy. He simply channeled the overwhelming Pure Yang Heavenly Flames to refine his opponent, grinding away a protective spiritual light from the Celestial Stele within the man's body. Then, he summoned the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss and swung it down, completely obliterating his opponent's primordial spirit.
