Chapter 1221. Water Vein Blessed Land

Contemplating the terrifying nature of this Primordial Desolate Spirit, Eldrin's expression grew increasingly grave.

Such an entity is the ultimate malevolence of heaven and earth, far surpassing ordinary demon immortals and divine spirits. To face it would invite unfathomable peril.

"This boundless black serpent likely possesses strength comparable to a half-step Earth Immortal."

Eldrin spoke, his expression turning profoundly grave.

The 6 Stars Immortal also shifted his expression slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Such a malevolent creature would likely be difficult to handle. Should we retreat for now and gather the immortals of the Celestial Alliance to besiege it together?"

"Not so hasty. Let's test its methods first."

Eldrin shook his head and spoke.

With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the Tianli Twin Swords, unleashing 2 resplendent arcs of sword energy that tore through the air as they descended upon the boundless black serpent.

"Hiss!"

As the 2 immortal swords came slashing down, the black serpent let out a piercing hiss. Its massive dark tail swept across with overwhelming force, actually sending the Celestial Li Twin Swords flying away through the air.

Not only that, but the serpent’s tail, after repelling the Celestial Li Twin Swords, continued its sweeping assault with undiminished force, surging toward Eldrin (Person Name).

The 2 evaded under the immense pressure of the boundless heavy water, only to see the serpent's tail carve out a vacuum of bubbles within the depths, violently shaking the Endless Abyss.

The 6 Stars Immortal seized the moment to summon his immortal sword and strike down, only to find that the serpent’s tail erupted in a shower of sparks upon impact, leaving behind nothing but a faint white mark.

"What a formidable physical body!"

The Sixfold Star Immortal was inwardly astounded, his voice grave and solemn as he declared, "This obsidian serpent, subjected to the crushing weight of the Abyssal Reflux Waters, has endured pressure equivalent to hundreds of millions of tons upon every single scale. Tempered over tens of millions of years, it has long become utterly indestructible."

"Let alone you or me, I'm afraid even a half-step Earth Immortal might not be able to slay him."

"Let me give it a try!"

Hearing this, Eldrin did not retreat further.

With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned a pillar of 5-colored divine light that pierced the heavens and enveloped the earth, descending upon the boundless black serpent.

This black serpent was born from the abyssal water miasma of the Returning Abyss, existing in that formless void. By nature, it was inherently restrained by the 5-Colored Divine Light.

Yet when Eldrin (Person Name) channeled the 5-Colored Divine Light onto the black serpent, it felt as though he were attempting to restrain a primordial savage bull with a single rope—utterly incapable of completely subduing it.

In just a few breaths' time, the black serpent tore through the 5-Colored Divine Light and broke free from its confines. From its pupils—larger than the sun—a divine radiance burst forth, shooting toward the 2 figures.

"Damn, it's the Black Fiend Divine Light!"

Eldrin's expression abruptly shifted. With a reflex-like motion, he activated the Yin-Yang Polarity Beads, summoning opposing auras of yin and yang to envelop both of them in a protective barrier.

In an instant, the Black Fiend Divine Light slammed into the Yin-Yang Dual Qi, erupting in a violent collision that even caused the Yin-Yang Polarization Pearl to tremble.

"What a formidable divine ability."

After blocking this strike, Eldrin began to maneuver evasively, yet his expression grew exceedingly grave.

The innate divine ability of this boundless black serpent, "Black Miasma Divine Light," was immensely powerful, already touching the realm of world-sundering divine powers. Its speed could truly be described as chasing the stars and pursuing the moon. Even a Ninth-Level Ascendant Immortal, if struck by it, would likely be forced into reincarnation.

If not for the protection of the Yin-Yang Polarity Pearl, Eldrin would have been in grave danger of being severely wounded by a single strike.

"Wretched fiend, perish!"

Blocking the strike of the Boundless Black Serpent, Eldrin did not retreat. Instead, he once again channeled the Celestial Li Twin Swords, manifesting a brilliant sword aura that slashed toward the Boundless Black Serpent.

This time, Eldrin activated the dual swords in unison. In an instant, they erupted with a dazzling sword radiance of unparalleled lethality, striking the black serpent's scales with the speed of lightning.

That strike finally pierced the Black Serpent's scales, yet Eldrin turned and departed without uttering a single word.

"Retreat, now!"

Eldrin (Person Name) let out a resounding cry and departed with the 6 Stars Immortal (Person Name).

It turned out that with the combined power of the Heavenly Union, his sword strike had merely shattered a few of the black serpent's scales, leaving behind several shallow wounds.

This injury was neither light nor heavy for the Black Serpent. Unless Chen Eldrin launched hundreds or even thousands more attacks, or struck its vital spot directly, it would be utterly impossible to slay the creature.

The Heavenly Separation Sword Meld was currently Eldrin's most powerful attack, yet it consumed an immense amount of magical power. With the immortal energy currently circulating throughout his body, supplemented by the Mystic Water Azure Lotus Throne, he could theoretically execute several dozen consecutive melds.

However, limited by the immortal sword's power, it could only be activated a dozen or so times within a short period, lest its blade be damaged.

Thus, relying solely on the combined power of the Heavenly Union was far from sufficient to slay this boundless black serpent.

If he were to strike with all his might at the vital spot 7 inches below its head, he might barely manage to slay it—but this obsidian serpent would never allow him to strike its weakness unchallenged.

Under its counterattack, I'm afraid even the Yin-Yang Dual Polarity Pearls cannot hold out much longer.

Therefore, Eldrin understood that relying solely on the strength of the 2 of them would likely be insufficient to subdue the Boundless Black Serpent, and he immediately made the decisive choice to withdraw.

With their level of cultivation, defeating the Boundless Black Serpent might prove difficult, but escaping with their lives was hardly challenging.

They flew all the way out of the Abyssal Chasm, and after pursuing them for a short while, the black serpent gave up the chase.

For beneath the sea surged boundless heavy waters, and moving against their flow was inherently arduous. Its form was too vast and boundless, and the pressure it had to endure to swim upstream far surpassed what the 2 of them could bear.

Thus, from the very moment the Boundless Black Serpent was born, it had never left the depths of the Returning Abyss.

To get back on track, Eldrin and the 6 Stars Immortal continued their ascent. After flying for what seemed like an eternity, they finally traversed the Boundless Sea Abyss and emerged beyond the Chasm of No Return.

"Husband."

Seeing them emerge, Lyra and Qing Ji immediately walked over.

Finding them unharmed, Lyra asked, "What is the situation inside?"

"Not good."

Eldrin (Person Name) wore a grave expression as he relayed the news of the Boundless Black Serpent and the supreme-grade water vein to the 2 individuals.

After hearing this, both of them wore extremely grave expressions. Qingji couldn’t help but remark, “That black serpent coiling around the supreme-grade water vein must be cultivating by harnessing the power of water essence it inhales and exhales.”

"We intend to seize the supreme-grade water vein, which has forged an irreconcilable feud between us and it."

Lyra also gave a slight nod and suddenly inquired, "You mentioned that at the location of the supreme-grade water vein, there exists a hazy realm enveloped and coiled by that Dark Serpent?"

"Mm." Eldrin nodded, recalling the sights he had witnessed earlier, then spoke: "It was a vast, mist-veiled realm stretching over a million li, yet coiled by those black serpents, we couldn't glimpse its full expanse."

At this point, Eldrin's expression changed abruptly, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "You mean..."

"Hmm."

Lyra nodded, her expression turning exceedingly grave as she said, "A supreme-grade water vein can scarcely form a world of its own. Yet reaching this stage of world derivation—even if it hasn’t become an Earth Immortal blessed land—means it’s not far from transforming into 1."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions shifted abruptly, revealing a mix of shock and delight.

The value of a Terrestrial Immortal's blessed paradise is such that any immortal would go mad with desire for it. Even a Terrestrial Immortal Ancestor would covet it beyond measure.
