Chapter 1277 : Genesis Spirit

This Earthly Fiend Immortal-Trapping Array condensed the power of 70-2 immortals, and the Netherworld Profound Fiend Force it unleashed was far too astonishing. Even the Quasi-Earth Immortals present, wielding their Heaven-Sundering Treasures, found it nearly impossible to breach such a world-shaking immortal formation.

Not only that, as the immortals of the Setting Sun Blessed Land continuously activated the formation to envelop the area, this very formation kept compressing their living space.

The immortals retreated continuously, only to realize they had unwittingly become trapped within the Celestial Sand Sea.

Further back lay the 3 celestial enclaves, the Yin-Yang Isle, and the 4 Symbols Sanctuary—the very heartlands of their power. Should they retreat further, these 4 core islands would be lost, stripping them of their final bastion of support.

"There is no more room to retreat."

With no room left to retreat, Sun Ji gritted her teeth and declared, summoning the Great Solar Heavenly Ring to fight with the desperation of 1 facing death.

Can Yang, the Ancient 1, let out a cold laugh. With a flick of his sleeve, his life-bound supreme treasure, the Can Yang Tower of Heaven’s Suppression, descended with crushing force. Driven by the power of world-creation, it actually dimmed the radiance of the Great Sun Heavenly Wheel.

When

Another toll of the bell echoed as the Starry Cosmos Ancient Descendant descended like a colossal star, suppressing all in its path. "A handful of Half-Step Earth Immortals with 3 Heaven-Cleaving Treasures dare to challenge a true Earth Immortal?"

Facing such a strike, Patriarch Setting Sun sneered coldly.

But then his words halted abruptly, his expression turning stern and solemn as he rose to his full height.

At this moment, Patriarch Setting Sun strode forward. Clad in crimson-gold imperial robes and a celestial crown, he held the Primordial Heaven-Splitting Pagoda in his hand like a primordial deity patrolling the cosmos, poised to subjugate all immortals and demons across the heavens.

"Do you not know that I am the Heavenly Primordial Ancestor, the very Creator Deity who shaped this cosmos?"

As his voice faded, the Setting Sun Elder flicked his sleeve, manifesting a heaven-shrouding hand that descended with crushing force.

In an instant, heaven and earth trembled as boundless shockwaves swept across the realm. The majestic force shattered everything, sending the Starry Cosmos Ancient Bell flying through the air.

"Pfft."

Elder Tianfeng spat blood as he was sent flying, his injuries growing increasingly severe.

Yet this injury was but a trifle compared to the despair that gripped his heart.

In that instant, the assembled immortals fell into a deathly silence, as an aura of utter despair permeated the depths of the Returning Abyss Sea Domain.

And at that very moment, the 70-2 immortals presiding over the Earth Fiend Immortal Trapping Array advanced completely into the Celestial Sand Sea Domain along with the formation itself.

"Now!" *BOOM*

In the blink of an eye, the light between heaven and earth trembled violently.

Above the 3 immortal isles of Taiwei, Ziwei, and Tianshi in the Celestial Sand Sea, world-shaking immortal light abruptly erupted.

3 dazzlingly resplendent mystic pearls soared into the sky, enveloping the entire Celestial Sands Sea Region—even the Earth Fiend Immortal Trapping Array found itself imprisoned within their radiance.

3 Enclosures Grand Formation, 3 Talents Mystic Pearl?

The immortals of the Setting Sun Sea could not help but show panic upon witnessing this scene.

An immortal recognized the origin of this formation and the Tri-Source Wonder Beads. They could sense that under the suppression of this formation, the Earthly Fiend Immortal-Trapping Formation was cut off from the source of heaven and earth spiritual energy, its power reduced by over 30 percent.

"Do not panic."

The moment he sensed the San Yuan Grand Formation, a trace of solemnity flickered across Patriarch Setting Sun's face.

He lifted his gaze to the heavens, where a figure clad in snow-white robes strode through the void. Behind it trailed the crippled Sunset Heavenly Ark, battered and broken against the dying light.

The Crimson Sun Sky Ark had been locked in fierce combat for over 6 100 years, its reserve energy long since depleted. Now, facing Eldrin's surprise assault, it sustained devastating damage in merely the blink of an eye.

Eldrin paid no further attention to the crippled Sunset Sky Ark, as its combat capabilities had been largely depleted. The Crimson Dragon and Teng Serpent—2 superior ancient vessels—were more than sufficient to handle the aftermath.

His 3 1000 strands of hair flowed freely as he approached in white robes, sword in hand. Calmly regarding the Setting Sun Patriarch, he spoke, "I am Guixu (Cultivator Name), here to invite you to face your heavenly tribulation."

"Ha ha ha!"

Facing Eldrin’s invitation, Patriarch Setting Sun burst into wild laughter.

He let out a hearty laugh, then his expression abruptly sharpened into an icy severity as he spoke with boundless indifference, "Do you know who I am?"

"I am the Creator of the Celestial Remnant Realm, the Divine Being who shaped the heavens and forged the world."

"You wish to make this old man face his tribulation? With your meager strength, a feeble immortal?" "Very well, let this old man witness what means you possess."

As the words fell, Patriarch Setting Sun abruptly took a step forward, already unleashing his Heaven-Splitting Divine Art—the Setting Sun Obscuring the Moon Hand.

Eldrin took a subtle step forward, his palm descending in a forceful chop. The Primal Chaos Qi Grasping Hand transformed into the Primal Chaos Qi Heaven-Splitting Palm, cleaving downward with overwhelming force.

In that fleeting moment, 2 peerless divine abilities collided. As they intertwined, boundless currents swept forth, accompanied by the explosive release of primordial laws. An infinite shockwave erupted, engulfing hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers, causing even the trembling Earth Fiend Immortal Trapping Array to sway violently.

At this moment, all the immortals wore expressions of awe and terror. Though the 2 had merely exchanged exploratory blows, their clash resembled the primordial confrontation between 2 world-forging deities.

Even a Ninth Heaven Celestial would be severely wounded by the residual shockwaves upon approach, their divine forms shattered by the terrifying laws of world creation.

"A strike rivaling that of a 7 Calamities Immortal!"

In the mere blink of an eye during their exchange, Patriarch Setting Sun sensed Eldrin’s extraordinary nature.

A flicker of surprise stirred within him, and he couldn't help but cast a profound glance at Eldrin. His expression growing increasingly solemn, he remarked, "To command 3 types of laws simultaneously—you truly are a nuisance."

"If we allow you to grow further, I fear you would bring calamity upon our Sunset Sanctuary. Today, even at great cost, this old man shall not let you leave here alive."

As the words fell, the Setting Sun Ancestor made his move once more, and the majestic Setting Sun Heaven-Suppressing Tower came crushing down.

Seeing this, Sun Ji was about to activate the Great Solar Heavenly Wheel to assist, but Eldrin stopped her, saying, "I can handle this 1 alone. You go and break the formation first, then come back to aid me!"

"Cauldron, come forth!"

As the words faded, Eldrin let out a resounding cry.

With a deafening roar that split the heavens, the Black Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron in Lyra's hands soared into the sky before descending into Eldrin's grasp.

Then, the cauldron descended with boundless divine might, actually causing the Setting Sun Heaven-Suppressing Tower to tremble slightly. "What a formidable Black Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron."

The Setting Sun Patriarch’s heart skipped a beat, yet a look of pleasant surprise spread across his face.

This Dragonvein Black Gold Cauldron was merely a low-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure, yet its power had already surpassed that of his life-bound supreme treasure, the Sunset Suppressing Pagoda, demonstrating the profound might of this artifact.

At this thought, his craving for the Black Dragon Town World Cauldron grew even fiercer. Without hesitation, he channeled his energy into the Setting Sun Heavenly Wheel to suppress it.

Just as the 2 were locked in combat, the rest of the group had already joined the fray.

The 70-2 immortals of the Setting Sun Blessed Realm activated the Earth Fiend Grand Formation, forcing the myriad immortals of the Abyssal Return Sea into relentless retreat.

However, in a battle at the Half-Step Earth Immortal level, they held an absolute advantage. Lady Sun, Lady Star, Daoist Tianfeng, Lyra (Person Name), and Lady Qing all possessed combat prowess at the Half-Step Earth Immortal level.

The Setting Sun Sea has only 2 half-step Earth Immortal combatants: 1 is Patriarch Oblique Sun, and the other is Setting Sun Master.

After cultivating arduously for over 2,000,000 years, Can Yangzi had broken through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm 3 1000 years ago. Though he possessed the supreme immortal treasure—the 10-1000-Mile Lingering Sun Pearl—his strength remained the most fragile among all Earth Immortals.

The power of Patriarch Oblique Sun was immensely formidable. In his possession were 5 supreme-grade immortal treasures, along with a true dragon avatar that had reached the half-step Earth Immortal realm. His strength ranked among the very pinnacle of 6-tribulation half-step Earth Immortals.

Chapter 1: The Prodigy's Fall The mountain mist coiled like ancient serpents, shrouding the 9 Profound Sect's training grounds in ethereal silence. Ling Xuan stood at the cliff's edge, his white robes fluttering in the dawn breeze, fingers tracing the cracks on his shattered dantian. "30-2 1000 spirit stones," he murmured, the words tasting like ash. "All gone for a single Meridian Restoration Pill." His gaze fell upon the disciples practicing sword forms below. 3 years ago, he'd been their shining hope - the youngest Foundation Establishment cultivator in 5 centuries. Now, at barely 20 years of age, he was relegated to watching juniors surpass him. "Brother Ling." A crisp voice interrupted his thoughts. Su Rong, in her azure dress, approached with a jade vial. "I've brought the Qi Gathering Pills you requested." Ling Xuan accepted the container containing precisely 12 pills. "The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss," he suddenly said, "do you remember how we retrieved it from the Scarlet Abyss together?" Su Rong's smile tightened. "Some memories are better forgotten, Senior Brother." She glanced toward the main peak where Elder Ming Feng resided. "The sect leadership believes... your time would be better spent managing the herb gardens." After she left, Ling Xuan unrolled an ancient parchment. The text described cultivation realms in flowing script: Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Void Tribulation, and the legendary Dao Unity stage. His communicator jade flashed. "All disciples report to the Grand Hall immediately," echoed Elder Ming Feng's voice. "The Heavenly Tribulation approaches for Patriarch Azure Void." Ling Xuan's eyes hardened. He remembered the forbidden scripture hidden beneath his floorboards - the Chaotic Heaven Codex. The text warned of "9 cycles of life and death" before achieving true mastery. "1 100 years," he whispered to the gathering clouds. "The sect has grown stagnant in its ways." Thunder rumbled in the distance, as if answering his defiance. He made his decision.
