Chapter 1236. 1000 Streams Daoren

As the words faded, Eldrin (Person Name) activated the Dao of Yin-Yang Stars, deducing through the power of the celestial constellations.

In the blink of an eye, he sensed a surge of baleful energy permeating the heavens and earth. A faint, sinister aura veiled the void, yet its source remained elusive to his sight.

"Could it be due to the approaching great calamity, stirring the tribulation qi between heaven and earth?"

"Something's not right."

Eldrin murmured softly, a trace of contemplation lingering in his heart.

He calculated repeatedly, vaguely sensing a familiar aura within the baleful energy. Moments later, his pupils contracted slightly as he suddenly recalled something.

"This aura, it's the Heaven Fiend Clan!"

A faint stir arose in Eldrin’s heart as he finally confirmed the origin of this aura.

He relayed this news to the 2 women. After hearing it, Lyra (Person Name) furrowed her brows and said, "The Heaven Slaughter Clan ranks first among the 7 Great 100 Spirit Immortal Races of the Western Mist Divine Abyss Sea. Could it be that they will intervene in this battle?"

"Not necessarily." Eldrin(Person Name) pondered for a moment before shaking her head. "The Heaven Fiend Clan(Organisation) was born from calamity energy. Perhaps they seek to harness the cataclysmic qi of the collapsing Earth Immortal Realm(Cultivation Realm) to enhance their cultivation."

"Perhaps that is the case."

Eldrin spoke, then added, "My Pure Yang Celestial Fire is highly effective in suppressing the Sky Fiend Clan. Should we encounter them, it would be far simpler to handle."

At this point, Eldrin felt slightly reassured.

However, he had the foresight to send back a letter through mystical means, instructing several immortals from his clan to arrive with the Heavenly Dragon Subduing Demons Sword Formation and conceal themselves beyond the Scarlet Sun Sea, ready to facilitate their escape at a critical moment.

With this step accomplished, Eldrin (Person Name) strode into the core region of the Crimson Sun Sea.

Chapter 1 No sooner had Eldrin stepped into the core region of the Crimson Sun Sea than he sensed several overwhelmingly majestic auras.

There were roughly a dozen or so majestic auras, 8 of which remained at the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, while 4 had already transcended beyond—clearly, these were 4 Earth Immortal Elders.

Especially among those 4 auras, 1 was exceptionally powerful, blazing like the sun in the highest heavens, overshadowing the presence of all others.

"What an overwhelmingly powerful aura."

Like a heavenly sun, majestic and grand, his aura was second only to Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin pondered inwardly, his gaze involuntarily drifting toward the figures silhouetted against the celestial dome. A faint crease etched itself between his brows.

A total of 12 figures stood, each holding their own ground. Eldrin had roughly deduced their origins—these individuals were all supreme powerhouses from the Sea of Western Qi and Divine Abyss.

Among these individuals, on the left stood an elder and a youth. The youth was the Setting Sun Ancestor of the Fading Sea Sect, while the old man was the Slanting Sun Ancestor—a Fifth Tribulation Immortal.

3 figures stood to the right, led by a woman whose graceful posture and full-figured beauty marked her as an enchanting demoness.

Though he did not know her name, Eldrin could tell from her bearing alone that she must be the Earth Immortal Matriarch of the Fire Phoenix lineage—a peerless demon immortal of Phoenix Roost Sea, whose veins carried the purest phoenix blood.

Eldrin recognized 1 of the 2 figures behind her—a woman clad in azure robes, Seraphina Qu, who was none other than the Azure Phoenix Maiden who had participated in seizing the fourth-level Heaven-Pillar all those years ago.

After all these years apart, the Verdant Phoenix Fairy had already broken through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, proving herself to be a truly unparalleled prodigy.

The other individual was unknown to Eldrin, yet he roughly understood that this person was a half-step Earth Immortal ancestor of the phoenix clan.

Ahead of them stood several figures from the Azure Stream Ancient Sect, an Earth Immortal blessed realm of the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas.

The Azurestream Ancient Sect, ranked third among the 100 Rivers of Flowing Time, had dispatched no fewer than 4 Immortals this time. Leading them was 1 of the sect's Grand Elders, whose cultivation had reached the profound Third Level of the Earth Immortal realm.

The remaining 3 had all reached the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, each possessing extraordinary strength.

And the last 1 was that figure, resplendent as the heavenly sun. His aura was as overwhelming as the scorching sun in the highest heavens. Merely standing there in silence, he already overshadowed the presence of the other several Earth Immortals.

The Supreme Elder of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, Elder 1000 Streams (Person Name), was said to have reached the seventh level of the Earth Immortal realm. Only second to the master of the Meteor Paradise and the Glazed Divine Lord, he ranked as the third most powerful expert across the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas.

Eldrin murmured under his breath, his expression turning profoundly solemn.

Legend has it that Daoist Qianliu had lived for over 30 million years. Even the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace addressed him as Patriarch, a testament to his exalted status.

Such a supreme Earth Immortal at the seventh level of Ascendant Immortal realm had personally arrived at the Crimson Sun Blessed Land. With his mere presence alone, he made the 3 other Earth Immortal Patriarchs turn grim-faced.

The Supreme Elder of the Azure Stream Ancient Sect cast a glance at Elder 1000 Currents, his expression shifting slightly as he remarked, "I never imagined that 1 of your esteemed stature, Daoist 1000 Currents, would deign to compete with us for this Earth Immortal blessed land."

"Ha ha ha."

Daoist Qianliu laughed heartily, turning his gaze towards Phoenix Roost Sea's Fire Phoenix Fairy as he said, "The Phoenix Roost Sea is 1 of the blessed lands for demonkind in the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea. Have you not also traversed hundreds of millions of miles across mountains and rivers to be here?"

The voluptuous immortal from Phoenix Roost Sea remained unmoved. She cast a glance at the Azure Luan Immortal beside her before speaking calmly, "The collapse of this Crimson Sun Earthly Paradise and the reemergence of the Crimson Sun Blessed Realm into the mortal realm owe much to the contributions of my junior disciples. It is only natural that we claim our share of the spoils."

"That makes sense."

Elder Thousandstreams nodded slightly, then stroked his beard and said, "To be perfectly frank, our Flowing Fire Star Palace has set its sights on this Crimson Sun Blessed Realm. However, this old man is not completely unreasonable."

"If you are willing, esteemed guests, to leave this Crimson Sun Blessed Land to our Flowing Fire Star Palace, then all the treasures within this sanctuary shall be ceded to you."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted slightly.

To be fair, the most valuable aspect of this Crimson Sun Blessed Land is naturally the blessed land itself.

The combined value of the Creation-Divining Artifact within and the legacy of the Crimson Sun Blessed Land likely pales in comparison to half of this realm’s worth. By claiming the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, the Flowing Fire Star Palace has taken the lion’s share of this blessed realm’s treasures.

With this thought in mind, the others turned their gazes toward Phoenix Fairy.

Fengqi Sea was a top-tier power in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, boasting several Half-Step Celestial Immortals among its ranks. With the support of the Immortal Phoenix Paradise from the 10-1000 Demon Ancestral Domain backing it, its strength far surpassed that of the Flowing Fire Star Palace.

"Alas, the Phoenix Fairy of Flames shook her head calmly and said, 'In that case, I shall leave it for you, Fellow Daoist.'"

Hearing this, everyone felt a hint of regret in their hearts, yet they understood it was only natural.

The cultivation base of Phoenix Fairy was only at the mid-stage Earth Immortal realm, far inferior to that of 1000 Streams Daoist. Moreover, the Phoenix Roost Sea lay beyond the Seventh Layer Sea, making it unwise to provoke the local power of the Flowing Fire Star Palace for such a distant cause.

Having grasped this point, everyone fell silent, tacitly accepting the outcome.

Seeing this, Elder Qianliu smiled and said, "Since you all agree, I hope that when the blessed realm reappears, you will show some restraint in your competition and refrain from shattering our blessed realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into a hushed silence.

Beside them, Eldrin, who had been observing from the sidelines, also felt a subtle shift in his gaze.

Since none of the current Earth Immortal blessed realms had any objections, as a mere Half-Step Earth Immortal, he naturally had no room for negotiation either.

For him, even if he obtained the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, he would never be able to defend it. Thus, it was never his goal from the very beginning.

With this thought, Eldrin settled in to wait with a tranquil heart.

No 1 knew how much time had passed when a faint tremor rippled through the void, and a brilliant fissure slowly began to tear open.

"The heavens and earth crumbled."

"Blessed Land... is about to reappear in the mortal realm!"
