Chapter 1270 : Desperate Battle, Divine Mist Requiem

Even an ordinary early-stage Earth Immortal would have been subdued and defeated by him, let alone a mere half-step Earth Immortal like Daoist Tianfeng.

But then, the Setting Sun Patriarch made his move with earth-shattering force. The boundless power of world creation within his inner world erupted, instantly flooding into the Wheel of the Setting Sun.

In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Sunset Heavenly Wheel struck out violently, actually sending the Starry Cosmos Ancient Bell flying backward.

At the same time, Patriarch Setting Sun seized the moment to strike. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the Setting Sun Heavenly Wheel to suppress his foe, its edge slicing ruthlessly across Daoist Skywind’s waist and abdomen.

"Ding—"

A chorus of metallic clangs erupted as the Setting Sun Heavenly Wheel struck against Elder Skywind’s black armor, sending dazzling sparks flying in all directions.

This boundless black scale armor was forged by the Heavenly Flame Ancestor using black serpent scales fused with vast amounts of 9 Nether Darksteel. Its sturdiness far surpassed that of its original form, capable of withstanding assaults from supreme-grade immortal treasures. It served as the Wind Daoist's ultimate protective treasure.

"Hmm?"

Seeing that his first strike had failed to subdue the enemy, Patriarch Setting Sun let out a faint exclamation of surprise. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned another resplendent immortal sword and sent it slashing through the air.

The true dragon’s entire body is a trove of treasures. In the past, Eldrin (Person Name) slew the Crimson Dragon’s (Spiritual Beast) past incarnation, thereby obtaining several supreme-grade immortal treasures (Magic Treasure).

Even back in the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, Patriarch Setting Sun had destroyed a supreme-grade immortal treasure of defense, the 'Sunfall Celestial Orb'.

Yet now, he still possessed several supreme-grade immortal treasures in his hands: the Crimson Dragon Immortal-Slaying Sword, the Crimson Dragon Heaven-Piercing Halberd, the Setting Sun Heavenly Wheel, and others. Along with a True Dragon Avatar, the current supreme-grade immortal treasure in his grasp was none other than the Crimson Dragon Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure).

But when the Scarlet Dragon Immortal-Slaying Sword came slashing down, its cold gleam caused the Boundless Black Scale Armor to shimmer faintly, yet it could never cleave through this supreme-grade immortal armor.

"What a fine treasure!"

Seeing that he could not break through this supreme-grade immortal armor, Elder Xiyang was not alarmed but overjoyed. Without hesitation, he exclaimed with fervent admiration, "Master, do not destroy this precious armor!"

"Hmph—"

Hearing this, Patriarch Setting Sun furrowed his brow slightly. Having lost his life-preserving treasure, the Setting Sun Heavenly Pearl, he had now set his sights on this supreme-grade immortal armor.

With this thought, the Setting Sun Patriarch suppressed his intention to strike down Daoist Tianfeng with the Wheel of the Setting Sun. Instead, he flipped his hand and manifested a colossal palm that blotted out the sky, pressing down to suppress his foe.

This is the Heaven-Sundering Divine Ability ‘Crimson Sun Veiling Moon Hand’, 1 of the supreme techniques wielded by Patriarch Crimson Sun. When unleashed by him, its power rivals that of a Heaven-Sundering Treasure.

Such a supreme divine ability instantly forced Daoist Tianfeng into an absolute disadvantage.

"Pfft—"

Elder Tianfeng was sent flying, blood spraying from his lips, yet he desperately mustered his immortal essence. With every ounce of his power, he drove the Heaven-Cleaving Treasure to strike at the 2, determined to avenge the hundreds of millions of slaughtered souls of the Liu Immortal Clan.

Yet at that very moment, a crimson figure soared through the heavens and earth. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a blinding scarlet radiance that shot forth like a piercing nail.

"Not good."

In the blink of an eye, Daoist Tianfeng felt a chill pierce his brow, and his heart sank with a sudden dread.

The newcomer was none other than the Second Primordial Spirit and True Dragon Incarnation of Daoist Waning Sun. The treasure he unleashed was known as the Crimson Dragon Soul-Piercing Needle.

This treasure was forged from the fang of the Crimson Dragon Ancestor, refined to a fineness akin to a single strand of hair. Infused with myriad profound barrier-piercing principles, it possesses the remarkable ability to breach any defense by concentrating force on a single point—making it the bane of all protective treasures and bodyguard divine abilities.

Now, as the Second Spirit of Daoist Canyang summoned this treasure, it instantly shot toward the center of Daoist Tianfeng’s brow. Even the Boundless Black Scale Armor would likely be unable to withstand it.

Such a supreme immortal treasure, its power pales in comparison to peer-grade immortal treasures, with destructive force that might only rival a mid-grade immortal treasure. Yet should it pierce through the Black Scale Armor, then Daoist Tianfeng would face the peril of annihilation.

As Elder Tianfeng was a single-Dao Fruit Immortal who cultivated an immortal body, the immortal fetus within him was far less powerful than those of immortals who cultivated Dao Fruits and laws.

Even after he attained immortality and reforged his foundation, his Primordial Immortal Embryo could only rival the early stage of Ascension.

Such a feeble primordial spirit would likely be shattered into nothingness upon being struck by this Crimson Dragon Soul-Piercing Needle.

In his haste, Daoist Tianfeng sought to evade, but under the crushing force of the Crimson Sunset Moon-Veiling Hand, it was already too late.

"My life is at its end!"

As the Crimson Dragon Soul-Piercing Needle drew closer, his heart sank with a sudden thud, and a flicker of regret flashed through his mind.

If only he had heeded Eldrin's warning back then, he would have long since taken his core clansmen of Golden Core realm and above to seek refuge in the Abyssal Sea, instead of facing this near-annihilation of his clan.

"I rue the day I did not heed Eldrin's counsel."

Just as the Heavenly Wind Daoist was overwhelmed with regret, he noticed a graceful figure appearing before him.

The newcomer was none other than his Dao Companion, Shenwu (Person Name). Appearing without warning, she summoned her protective immortal treasure, the Divine Mist Bracelet (Magic Treasure), to block the Scarlet Dragon Soul-Piercing Needle.

But the Divine Mist Immortal Locket was merely a high-grade immortal treasure, so how could it possibly withstand the Scarlet Dragon Soul-Piercing Needle? It was instantly pierced through, and the remaining force continued unimpeded, striking directly into the center of Divine Mist Fairy’s brow.

"Pfft—"

Pierced by the Crimson Dragon Soul-Piercing Needle, the Divine Mist Fairy let out a piercing shriek, yet still mustered her formidable soul power to forcibly restrain the needle's advance.

The Divine Mist Fairy was a Dao Fruit Immortal, her cultivation having reached the seventh level of Ascendant Immortal realm. Yet, she could only barely withstand the Soul-Piercing Crimson Dragon Needle with her soul force.

Even so, before this supreme immortal treasure specifically designed to subdue the soul, Divine Mist Fairy found herself cornered with no way out.

She burned the power of her immortal fetus at all costs, pouring everything into blocking the Crimson Dragon Soul-Piercing Needle, letting out a cry of utter despair.

"Husband, flee, now!"

"Ah—"

Seeing that Mistress Shenwu had blocked this strike herself, Daoist Tianfeng had completely lost his mind.

With a furious roar, he channeled the power of the Creation Treasure, even burning his own vital essence to push this divine artifact to its absolute limit.

In an instant, heaven and earth trembled, mountains and rivers quaked, as if the entire world were on the verge of collapse.

The ancient bell that blotted out the sky released a primordial chime, its boundless shockwave shattered everything, instantly pulverizing the Crimson Sunset Eclipse Hand.

Madam!

Once freed, Daoist Tianfeng immediately rushed toward Mistress Shenwu.

Yet they discovered that Divine Mist Fairy's divine soul had already burned out. As the boundless rules of heaven and earth intertwined and descended, her peerlessly beautiful figure transformed into a shower of shimmering rain, scattering amidst the cosmos.

Go...

At the moment of her demise, the Divine Mist Fairy uttered her final words.

At that moment, Daoist Tianfeng finally emerged from his frenzied rage.

Tears welling in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and clutched the Starry Cosmos Ancient Bell, soaring toward the boundless expanse of the distant sea.

"There's no escape!"

With an icy expression, the Setting Sun Patriarch spoke coldly. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned his Lifebound Heaven-Cleaving Treasure, the ‘Crimson Sun Suppressing Heaven Pagoda,’ and brought it crashing down.

In the distant sea, 9 immortals from the Crimson Sun Blessed Land held formation flags, activating a world-shaking celestial array that sealed off the entire expanse of water. The last path of survival seemed completely severed.

Yet at that very moment, Daoist Tianfeng gritted his teeth and with a flick of his sleeve, summoned a dazzling ancient talisman.

"Damn it!"

The moment he laid eyes on this ancient talisman, Patriarch Setting Sun sensed imminent peril. Without a second thought for the supreme-grade immortal armor, he immediately channeled the power of his Setting Sun Heavenly Wheel to strike down with a devastating slash.

But it was ultimately too late. Once activated, the ancient talisman erupted with boundless immortal light, and in that instant, countless void materialized. Carrying Daoist Tianfeng across hundreds of millions of miles through mountains, rivers, and void, it vanished from the Sunset Sea.
