Chapter 1265 : Taibai Gengjin Soul-Severing Sword-Sha

"Ding."

The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) erupted in a dazzling radiance, transforming into a brilliant sword aura that descended beside Eldrin (Person Name), whirling around him in an endless spiral.

Eldrin gazed at the faintly shimmering Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, his expression serene as he spoke: "As you wish, then!"

Welcome, Eldrin. With a flick of his sleeve, accompanied by a deafening roar, a resplendent 5-colored divine thunder descended, striking directly at Patriarch Suwei’s head.

5 Elements Divine Thunder?

Suwei the Patriarch’s expression abruptly turned solemn. He cast the Heaven-Slaying Halberd in his hand into the churning sea with a thunderous crash, then pressed his palms together, gathering his spiritual power. With a resonant ring, he condensed a blade of earth-shattering sword-qi!

This sword aura possessed unparalleled might, instantly cleaving apart the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder. Its residual power continued unabated, slashing directly toward Eldrin (Person Name).

Great White Gold-Wrought Immortal-Slaying Sword Aura!

Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly as he recognized the origin of this divine ability.

This divine ability was the signature technique of Patriarch Suwei. It was said that in the past, the patriarch extracted the Gengjin Evil Qi from the western extremity of the Qingcang Immortal Realm and fused it with the essence of Taibai Gold to forge this power.

Upon its emergence, this divine power possessed an edge keen enough to slay immortals and vanquish gods. A single wisp of its sword intent could cleave heaven from earth and quell the great calamities of a 1000 realms.

Patriarch Suwei had cultivated the Dao for several million years, having weathered numerous great tribulations and slain 3 experts at the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm. 1 of them had met their end precisely under this Heaven-Sundering Divine Ability.

It can be said that the might of this divine ability ranks among the most formidable of all the world-sundering supernatural powers.

"What formidable sword aura!"

As the 'Great White Gold Severing Immortal Sword Aura' swept toward him, Eldrin could not help but let out a soft sigh of admiration.

With a mere gesture of his hand, 2 resplendent immortal pearls soared into the sky, intertwining to manifest the primordial energies of yin and yang. A shimmering curtain of astral force descended, intercepting the brilliant yet lethal Sword Malevolence.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed the Primordial Chaos Grasp to suppress everything below.

The Chaos Primordial Grasping Hand possessed the profound mystery of the primordial chaos energy, embodying both suppression and sealing effects. As it descended with overwhelming force, it was like a colossal hand overturning the heavens, seeking to subdue all in its path.

Faced with such a strike, Patriarch Suwei stood unwavering and fearless. A Lustrous Treasure Mirror soared above his head, radiating dazzling immortal light that swept across the heavens, blocking Eldrin’s (Person Name) attack.

This mirror, known as the Heavenly Cycle Mirror, was once the signature treasure of the Heavenly Cycle Daoist—a Half-Step Earth Immortal of the human race.

1 million years ago, the Celestial Wheel Daoist was slain by Patriarch Suwei, and thus it ultimately fell into Patriarch Suwei's possession.

Witnessing the formidable power of the Heavenly Cycle Realm, Eldrin remained utterly unfazed.

Without a moment's hesitation, he struck again, summoning the 5-Colored Divine Light to envelop the Celestial Cycle Mirror, instantly seizing control of this supreme-grade immortal treasure.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the Tianli Twin Swords transformed into dazzling sword energy that surged forth, slashing towards Patriarch Suwei’s head.

Slay

As the 2 supreme-grade immortal swords came slashing down, Patriarch Suwei let out a furious roar. He immediately summoned an ancient token engraved with countless immortal patterns, then revealed his True Form of the White Tiger to confront the Heaven-Severing Twin Swords.

That token was also known as the 'Heaven's Might Decree'(Magic Treasure), the third supreme immortal treasure of the White Tiger Patriarch. While it held no particular prowess in offense or defense, it could be fused with an immortal body to enhance its majestic power.

Patriarch Suwei had cultivated his White Tiger True Body to the Heaven-Opening Realm, yet under the amplification of the Heavenly Might Decree, his physical strength surged by over 30 percent.

With such a formidable physical body, it already possessed the power to cleave heaven and earth. After being amplified by 30 percent through the Heavenly Might Decree, it became strong enough to tear apart primordial ancient dragons barehanded and strike down divine beings of the 9 heavens. Even an Earth Immortal Patriarch would have no choice but to retreat.

Even the might of the Heavenly Li Twin Swords could barely suppress the overwhelming Primordial Chaos True Body of Patriarch Suwei.

"A 6-Calamity Half-Step Earth Immortal truly possesses extraordinary methods!"

Eldrin nodded, his estimation of Patriarch Suwei rising considerably.

No wonder it was said that any 6 Tribulations Half-Step Earth Immortal barely possessed combat power at the Earth Immortal level. Unless their magical power was completely depleted, they would fear nothing even when facing an Earth Immortal Patriarch.

At this moment, Patriarch Suwei was displaying truly extraordinary power. Were they outside the Zhou Heavenly Star Formation, Eldrin (Person Name) would likely have no confidence in slaying him.

Yet now, trapped within the great formation, he was merely a cornered beast fighting desperately.

Eldrin possessed the Primordial Azure Lotus Platform, an ultimate immortal treasure. His magical power was more than twice as profound as Patriarch Suwei's. As long as he could stall until Patriarch Suwei exhausted his magic energy, it would spell the patriarch's doom.

After all, although Patriarch Suwei’s Primordial Chaos True Body was immensely powerful, whether it was activating the Heavenly Might Decree or unleashing his myriad divine abilities and immortal treasures, all of it still consumed a considerable amount of spiritual power.

By the time his magical power was completely depleted, relying solely on the strength of his Primordial Chaos True Body, he could at most rival a half-step Earth Immortal who had undergone 4 or 5 heavenly tribulations. He was certainly no match for Eldrin.

"Yet there is no more time to delay."

However, after surveying his surroundings, Eldrin noticed that Qing Ji and Xing Ji, along with the others, were still locked in a stalemate against the 3 True Dragon Elders.

A duel between Half-Step Earth Immortals could truly be described as perilous beyond measure.

To prevent the others from getting injured or even facing the peril of falling, he decided not to drag this out any longer.

He made a subtle pointing gesture, and the Yin-Yang Polarization Pearl above his head intertwined as it crashed down, heading straight for Patriarch Suwei.

"Now!"

Seeing the Yin Yang Dual Pearls hurtling towards him, Patriarch Su Wei felt not fear but delight. With a sudden surge of immortal essence, a blinding celestial radiance erupted across the boundless sea in the blink of an eye.

A blindingly brilliant heavenly halberd erupted from the depths of the sea, shooting directly toward Eldrin.

'Oh no!'

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat—the resplendent heavenly halberd was none other than the Suwei Heavenly Halberd hurled by Patriarch Suwei.

Now, seeing Eldrin summon the Yin-Yang Polarity Beads, he seized the perfect moment to strike. With a swift motion, he channeled his power into the Suwei Heavenly Halberd and launched it straight at Eldrin. *Whoosh—*

As the Plain Splendor Sky Halberd tore through the air toward him, Eldrin appeared to have anticipated this long ago.

With a single step, he shifted away, narrowly evading the Suwei Heavenly Halberd by a hair's breadth.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he activated the Yin-Yang Polarity Pearl to suppress his foe, smashing Patriarch Suwei until he coughed blood and was sent flying backward.

"A mere trifling trick, did you truly believe you could deceive this venerable 1?"

Eldrin whispered, and in that fleeting moment, the Heaven-Sundering Twin Blades merged instantly, erupting with a dazzling Sword Gang that cleaved downward, piercing through Patriarch Suwei’s chest.

Yet unexpectedly, Patriarch Suwei abandoned all defense, focusing solely on offense. He once again channeled his power into the Suwei Heavenly Halberd, reversing its descent as it descended from the highest heavens to suppress Eldrin (Person Name).

"Hmm?"

Facing this strike, Eldrin initially paid it no mind. The Plain Might Heaven Halberd was merely a top-tier immortal treasure; even if it were a full-force blow descending upon him, his Primordial Chaos Qi True Aegis would be more than sufficient to withstand it.

Even if its power proved unexpectedly immense, and the Primordial Chaos Qi True Aura was shattered, his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body remained impervious to this strike.

Yet as the Suwei Heavenly Halberd descended, it stirred a faint sense of peril within him.

In the blink of an eye, without even crossing blades with them, Eldrin felt the Yin-Yang Void Mirror in his dantian rotate ever so slightly. In an instant, it carried him through the boundless void, retreating a million miles away.

Only then, as he turned back, did he realize the heavens and the earth had abruptly shuddered.

Chapter 1: The Awakening In the depths of the 9 Serenities Mountain Range, a youth clothed in tattered blue robes sat cross-legged upon a moss-covered boulder. His name was Lin Xuan, once the most promising young master of the Lin Clan, now a mere Qi Refinement third layer cultivator struggling at the bottom of the cultivation world. "3 years..." Lin Xuan murmured, his fingers tracing the faint scar on his wrist where his spiritual roots had been severed. "3 years since I fell from genius to trash." The mountain breeze carried the faint scent of spiritual herbs, stirring memories of his past glory. He remembered the day he single-handedly defeated over a dozen demonic beasts during the clan's hunting ceremony, his Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) blazing like a crimson phoenix across the sky. Suddenly, a brilliant flash of light descended from the heavens, striking the ancient boulder before him. Where the lightning touched, intricate patterns began to glow with an ethereal blue light, forming what appeared to be an ancient formation circle. "Could this be..." Lin Xuan's eyes widened as he recognized the symbols from forbidden texts he'd studied in the clan's library. "The legendary Heavenly Thunder Baptism?" Without hesitation, he stepped into the formation. Electric currents surged through his meridians, purging the impurities that had accumulated over years of failed cultivation. The pain was excruciating - like thousands of needles piercing every acupoint simultaneously - yet he gritted his teeth and endured. When the light finally faded, Lin Xuan found his damaged spiritual roots miraculously restored. More astonishingly, a mysterious jade slip had materialized within his consciousness, its surface inscribed with the words: "9 Revolutions Heavenly Art - First Revolution: Thunder Genesis." A deep voice echoed from the forest beyond. "Well, well... if it isn't the Lin Clan's discarded young master." A tall figure emerged from the shadows, his crimson robes embroidered with the flaming phoenix emblem of the Murong Clan. "I never expected to find the legendary inheritance here of all places." Murong Feng (Person Name) smiled coldly, his hand already resting on the hilt of his sword. "Hand over the inheritance, and I might consider letting you die painlessly." Lin Xuan rose slowly, his newly restored spiritual energy circulating through his meridians. "The Murong Clan's young master, reduced to scavenging for scraps? How the mighty have fallen." Before Murong Feng could retort, Lin Xuan moved. His form blurred as he executed the basic movement technique he'd practiced countless times, but now enhanced by the mysterious art. Thunder crackled around his fists as he struck - not at Murong Feng, but at the ground between them. The earth shattered, sending shockwaves that forced Murong Feng back several steps. "Impossible! Your cultivation was destroyed!" "Some things," Lin Xuan said calmly as blue lightning danced around his fingertips, "cannot be destroyed by mere mortal means." High above in the clouds, an elderly figure concealed within a spatial fold nodded approvingly. "The prophecy begins... The Heavenly Thunder Sovereign has returned."
