Chapter 1300 : A Prodigy's Decisive Tribulation

Everyone present understood clearly that once Nether Grand Austerity made a decision, none of those assembled could afford to ignore it.

This was a peerless Immortal who was currently assailing the Nine Tribulations Realm, the most prodigious talent the Crimson Dragon Lake lineage had ever produced.

Should he succeed in his breakthrough, he would at the very least reach the Earth Immortal Great Perfection realm in the future, with hopes of even attaining Celestial Immortal or even the Great Encompassing Realm.

In comparison, even the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake in his time had only possessed the foundation of a Seven Tribulations Immortal, falling far short of such a supreme prodigy.

Contemplating this, the Violet Robe Patriarch sighed, grasping the crux of the matter.

He understood perfectly well that Nether Grand Austerity placed great importance on Eldrin Chen's Path Source [the condensed essence of a cultivator's cultivation path]. After all, Eldrin Chen possessed a Great Encompassing Foundation and the combat prowess of a Seven Tribulations Immortal; his Path Source would be of significant use even to an Eight Tribulations Immortal.

If Nether Grand Austerity obtained it, even if he failed to break through to the Nine Tribulations Immortal realm, his own foundational reserves would be vastly augmented.

Thereafter, his chances of slaying the eight-tribulation ancient immortal of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect and ascending to the Nine Tribulations Immortal realm would increase dramatically.

Setting aside the enmity between their factions, merely this Karma [the principle of cause and effect governing actions and their consequences] meant Nether Grand Austerity would not pass up such a golden opportunity.

Having reached this conclusion, the Violet Robe Patriarch spoke, "Since that is the case, we must exert our utmost effort and mobilize our greatest strength to ensure his demise." Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio–novel.com.

Blazing Austerity Patriarch gave a slight nod, his expression calm as he spoke. "This old one shall make the journey personally and return with his head."

"That is inadvisable!"

Violet Robe Patriarch immediately shook his head and said, "You are the second most powerful combatant of our Thousand Dragon Lake, one of the key foundational strengths suppressing the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect."

"Now, at this critical juncture of the great war, the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect will undoubtedly seek an opportunity to counterattack. They might even ally with neighboring Human Race Blessed Land [a land imbued with potent spiritual energy and fortune] to attack us from both within and without."

"If a mishap were to occur then, allowing the Eight Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived eight heavenly tribulations] of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect to escape, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those present shifted slightly.

With the strength of Thousand Dragon Lake, they were confident they could withstand any counterattack from the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect.

However, if the Eight Tribulations Immortal of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect were to escape, that would spell true disaster.

The foundational power and depth of such an Eight Tribulations Immortal went without saying. Should he advance further to the realm of a Nine Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived nine heavenly tribulations] and successfully break through to the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of an Earth Immortal, a powerful terrestrial deity], he would possess combat power at least equivalent to a Fifth Level Earth Immortal.

By that time, not even the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake would dare claim he could slay him.

If the old immortal of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect were to break through to the Earth Immortal realm with the foundation of a Nine Tribulations Immortal, then even if they managed to annihilate the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect, they themselves would likely face a cataclysmic disaster in the future.

The weight of this internal dilemma was clear to the several Dragon Clan Earth Immortal seated here, who naturally understood the stakes.

Considering this, a Dragon Clan Supreme Elder seated nearby inquired, "What do you propose we do?"

The Violet Robe Patriarch pondered briefly before rising and addressing the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake. "That Returning Abyss Path Master is a Seven Tribulations Immortal. Killing him with certainty will not be easy."

"We would need to assemble a force of at least three Earth Immortal-level combatants, then ambush and trap him within a grand formation. Only then would we have a solid chance of surrounding and eliminating him."

The several True Dragon Patriarch present all nodded slightly in agreement.

The Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake opened his eyes and spoke. "The Verdant Stream Ancient Sect is a formidable foe. We likely cannot spare too many hands."

The Violet Robe Patriarch nodded. After a moment's calculation, he said, "Aside from Tai Ao, we can free up at most one other Earth Immortal Patriarch. Since the Clan Patriarch and Blazing Austerity Patriarch cannot act, I shall go myself."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Dragon Clan members present tightened slightly.

This Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch was a powerful existence at the Middle Stage Earth Immortal level, the third strongest expert of Thousand Dragon Lake. His personal involvement demonstrated the significant threat they perceived from Eldrin Chen.

"That is as it should be."

Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake nodded, quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Blazing Austerity Patriarch was a powerful Earth Immortal of the Sixth Level Earth Immortal [the sixth major stage of Earth Immortal cultivation], his strength second only to Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake himself.

In this great battle, the primary opponents for Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake were the foundational reserves and the Mountain Protection Formation [a powerful defensive array that shields an entire mountain sect] of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect, not the Patriarch of Verdant Stream Ancient Sect.

If Blazing Austerity were to leave, and the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect forcefully activated their grand formation to counterattack, then there would be no one left to restrain the Patriarch of Verdant Stream Ancient Sect.

In that case, the Eight Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived eight heavenly tribulations] of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect would have a great chance of escaping alive. Therefore, Blazing Austerity Patriarch could not easily depart. For uninterrupted reading, go to http://www . audio-novel.com.

Under these circumstances, having the Violet Radiance Thunder DragonPatriarch, a Middle Stage Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal in the middle phase of their cultivation], take action was the optimal choice.

Thinking this, Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake nodded and said, "Remember, your primary mission is not merely to slay That upstart Eldrin. Ensuring Blazing Austerity's safety is of paramount importance."

"I understand."

The Violet Radiance Thunder DragonPatriarch nodded in agreement, then spoke, "However, with just the two of us, there is still a significant chance that That upstart Eldrin might escape. I request that the Clan Patriarch dispatch additional personnel."

The Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake gave a slight nod. With a calm flick of his sleeve, five figures clad in battle armor materialized behind him. They were, unmistakably, five powerful Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have partially transcended the mortal realm but have not fully ascended to the Earth Immortal stage].

"These are..."

The moment they laid eyes on these five, the seated Earth Immortal Patriarch [patriarchs who have fully ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] all experienced a subtle shift in their expressions.

Seeing their reaction, the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake spoke up. "This time, acting on behalf of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace, we secured five slots for the Dragon Transformation Pool. These five Half-Step Earth Immortal were forged in a single batch."

As the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake explained in detail, the several Dragon Clan Patriarch understood their origins.

It turned out these Five Elements Heavenly Dragons were not Half-Step Earth Immortal who had broken through on their own. Instead, they had ascended by relying on the power of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

The so-called Dragon Transformation Pool was the foremost treasure of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace. It was said to be a rare 'Innate Treasure' [a treasure born from the primordial chaos of heaven and earth, possessing innate, profound power] within the Immortal Domain.

That Dragon Transformation Pool possessed no offensive or defensive capabilities. Yet, it was a rare auxiliary supreme treasure. It was said to contain the power of supreme Path Principle [the fundamental laws and principles of the Great Dao], capable of purifying the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, elevating it to the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm.

Generally speaking, most Earth Immortal Patriarch of the Dragon Clan had undergone a baptism in the Dragon Transformation Pool, washing away impure bloodlines to enhance their foundational potential. Only then could they undergo metamorphosis and break through to the realm of World-Opening True Dragon [a pure-blooded dragon of immense power].

However, purifying Dragon Blood within the Dragon Transformation Pool also consumed exceedingly precious energy. Therefore, the slots for the Dragon Transformation Pool were extremely limited. Typically, only True Dragon who had already reached the Half-Step Earth Immortal stage were qualified to compete for a slot.

Currently, these five Dragon Clan Half-Step Earth Immortals were originally merely five Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier cultivators from Thousand Dragon Lake.

They belong to the Five Elements True Dragons [True Dragons embodying the five fundamental elements], their five supreme types of mana can merge into one, granting them combat power rivaling a Half-Step Earth Immortal when they join forces. They are quite renowned within the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake.

However, these five dragons possess only ordinary True Dragon Bloodline and are not considered top-tier among the Nine Heavens True Dragons. They had never managed to break through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

With the eruption of this Great Tribulation, the Lord of Western Abyss Dragon Palace and the Celestial Prison Clan Patriarch joined forces. To compel a Blessed Land [a land imbued with potent spiritual energy and fortune] like Thousand Dragon Lake to contribute its strength, they paid a significant price.

It was precisely because of this Opportunity and Fortune that the Five Elements True Dragons gained the chance to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool [a legendary pool said to catalyze the evolution of creatures into True Dragons]. Seizing this Opportunity and Fortune, they ascended in one fell swoop into the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm. This content originates from audi0-n0vel.c0m. Please respect copyright.
