Chapter 1305 : The Violet Firmament's Descent

A Six Tribulations Immortal is no ordinary being. Even among the nine Half-Step Earth Immortals of the Demon Race, only two were Six Tribulations Immortals.

The fall of such a six-tribulation Demon Immortal [a demonic being who has ascended to immortality] instantly shifted the tide of this battle.

With Heaven Wind Path Master and Exquisite Jiang now freed to act, the situation for the Demon Race took a sharp turn for the worse.

Not long after, the Azure-Scaled Dragon Serpent and the Ironclad Crocodile Dragon fell under the combined assault of the group. The remaining five Half-Step Earth Immortals of the Demon Race were now isolated and overwhelmed, fleeing in disarray.

Watching the battle collapse into chaos, the Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch's expression turned icy. He could no longer afford to hold back. With a surge of power, he summoned a divine weapon wreathed in violet lightning and hurled it down from the Nine Heavens.

This divine weapon was named the 'Violet Firmament Thunder Dragon Mace'. Its form resembled a coiled True Dragon [a primordial dragon of immense power], its entire body carved with the dao patterns of a Purple Thunder Dragon. It was the Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch's sole Innate World-Opening Treasure [a supreme treasure born from the chaos of creation].

This was a Mid-Grade World-Opening Treasure. When wielded by the Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch, its might surpassed even the Lingering Sun Heavenly Wheel by a significant margin.

Now, as it descended with thunderous force, it struck the Lingering Sun Heavenly Wheel and sent it flying back violently. The impact also sent Sun Consort reeling through the air, blood spraying from her wounds.

"Disaster!"

Seeing this, the hearts of the allied cultivators sank. If Sun Consort were to be defeated and fall, then even if they managed to annihilate the remaining Demon Race forces, they would likely still face a grim fate of defeat and death. Find thousands of chapters at http://www . audio-novel.com.

Seeing the situation turn dire, they could no longer afford to pursue the complete annihilation of the Demon Race and the Half-Step Earth Immortals. One after another, they moved to lend Sun Consort a hand.

The Heaven Wind Path Master swiftly summoned his Lingering Sun Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda [a mighty pagoda artifact capable of suppressing the heavens], blocking a strike from the Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch.

Exquisite Jiang also disengaged, unleashing her Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a cauldron artifact imbued with the power of a crimson dragon to suppress worlds] against the Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch. Forced to divert his remaining strength to defend, this finally relieved the pressure on Sun Consort.

Seizing this precious moment of respite, Sun Consort finally caught her breath, a flicker of lingering fear crossing her features.

Her momentary distraction over the death of her comrade had thrown her into disarray. Had it not been for the timely aid of the others, she would have suffered a grievous blow.

"We cannot continue fighting like this,"

Eldrin Chen surveyed the overall battlefield, his heart sinking slightly.

Having fought to this point, although Sun Consort had not sustained any mortal wounds, her spiritual energy reserves were already more than half depleted.

In contrast, the Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch possessed a vast Inner World [the personal microcosm within a high-level cultivator] and had accumulated World-Opening Power [the primordial force used to create and sustain an Inner World] over many years, far surpassing Sun Consort. He could still fight for a considerable time.

If the battle dragged on, even with the assistance of Exquisite Jiang and the Heaven Wind Path Master, Sun Consort would likely be no match for this Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin Chen swept his gaze around, seeking a method to break the deadlock.

This Tai You'ao [a powerful demonic cultivator] was difficult to deal with, and the Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch was even harder to slay. He decided to seek his breakthrough from the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons and the White Nether Patriarch.

"This White Nether Patriarch, it is said, was transformed from a Bone Nether Serpent [a serpentine demon born from cursed bones and nether energy]. His cultivation has also reached the Third Level Earth Immortal realm. He will likely be difficult to kill."

"The Five Elements Heavenly Dragons each command one of the Five Elements Power. When they join forces, they form a Five Elements cycle, a self-perpetuating rule. Not only is their spiritual energy [the vital energy that flows through all living things] inexhaustible, but their combined might is in no way inferior to a World-Opening Treasure."

"An ordinary Earth Immortal would find it hard to slay them, but perhaps I can deal with them."

In the span of a lightning flash, a strategy crystallized in Eldrin Chen's mind.

In that fleeting instant, Eldrin Chen struck out with a palm. From within his Five Viscera [the five core organs in traditional Chinese medicine], the power of a Supreme-Grade Earth Vein erupted forth. A torrent of majestic Metallic Gold Power sent Tai You'ao flying backward.

Having struck a blow against Tai You'ao, Eldrin Chen did not press the advantage. Instead, he used the momentum to propel himself backward, charging straight toward the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons.

"You dare!"

Seeing Eldrin Chen charge at the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons, Tai You'ao immediately disengaged to lend his support.

Yet, with seamless understanding, Earth Spring Patriarch [a powerful cultivator patriarch] disengaged and stepped forward, exchanging opponents with Eldrin Chen.

"Clang—"

In that instant, Eldrin Chen met the charge with a sweeping motion of his sleeve. The Celestial Abyss Twin Swords [a pair of legendary divine swords] instantly merged, transforming into a single World-Opening [a supreme cultivation realm] sword energy that cleaved downwards, aimed directly at the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons [five ancient dragons embodying the five primal elements].

With the level of spiritual power Eldrin Chen now commanded, the might unleashed by this Sky-Severance Sword Union [a supreme sword technique] was truly staggering. Even an Earth Immortal Patriarch [a patriarch who has attained the Earth Immortal realm] would not dare receive it head-on, let alone these Five Elements Heavenly Dragons.

The Five Elements Heavenly Dragons exchanged a glance, then moved with perfect synchronicity. Together, they summoned forth five resplendent Immortal Sword [divine swords wielded by immortals].

Each of these five Immortal Sword was a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest grade attainable by immortals]. Under their combined control, the swords fused into one, transforming into a single Five-Colored Heavenly Wheel [a divine wheel radiating the power of the five elements] that clashed fiercely with the Celestial Abyss Twin Swords.

"The Five-Colored Heavenly Wheel?"

The moment he saw the Five-Colored Heavenly Wheel, a flicker passed through Eldrin Chen's eyes, followed by a cold, derisive smile.

Having fought this great battle to this point, he had already discerned the full extent of the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons's techniques. His strike now was launched with absolute confidence.

In that same breath, Eldrin Chen swept his sleeve once more. A dazzling, colorless Immortal Radiance [the radiant light emitted by immortal beings] shot into the sky, firmly capturing and immobilizing the Five-Colored Heavenly Wheel.

"Disaster!"

Seeing this, the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons [five colossal dragons embodying the five fundamental elements] felt their hearts lurch, a silent cry of alarm echoing within.

Alas, it was too late. While they, the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons, possessed the combined power of the Five Elements [the five fundamental forces of nature: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth], the Five-Colored Divine Light [a divine radiance capable of suppressing all five elements] was specifically designed to counter all Five Elements phenomena. In essence, they were utterly and perfectly countered by Eldrin Chen.

With one move seizing the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel [a mystical wheel artifact channeling the power of the five elements], Eldrin Chen swept his sleeve and unleashed another palm strike to suppress them. A sky-obscuring, earth-shrouding Primordial One Energy Grasping Hand [a colossal hand of condensed primordial energy] cleaved downwards, forcing the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons into a desperate, full-power defense from the very first clash.

"BOOM—"

Immediately following, a blindingly brilliant Five-Colored Divine Thunder [a thunderbolt imbued with the destructive essence of all five elements] struck with devastating force. It shattered the five dragons' protective spiritual barriers, sending them reeling through the air, blood spraying from their wounds.

"My life ends here!"

With the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons Formation [a powerful battle formation conjuring the five elemental dragons] broken, the dragon heart within him lurched. Without their formation, the combined combat power of the five was merely at the level of a Four Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived four heavenly tribulations], utterly incapable of standing against Eldrin Chen.

They watched as Eldrin Chen strode forward, an unstoppable force. The Metallic Gold Power [the pure, destructive essence of the Metal element] from his lungs surged into his fist. With a single punch, he reduced one of the five dragons, the Azure Dragon [the dragon representing the Wood element], to fragments.

Among the Five Elements, Metal overcomes Wood. This Azure Dragon was of the Wood element. Facing Eldrin Chen's full-power strike, saturated with boundless Metallic Gold Power, it was instantly annihilated, its form dissolving back into the primordial Dao [the fundamental principle and path of cultivation].

"Ah!"

With one of the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons slain, the tide of battle shifted instantly.

None had anticipated that Eldrin Chen's methods would be so overwhelmingly domineering, his timing so swift and ruthless, striking before anyone could even react.

He had merely unleashed three Divine Ability—the Primordial One Energy Grasping Hand, the Five-Colored Divine Light, and the Five Elements Divine Thunder—without even resorting to a World-Opening Treasure, and had already suppressed and slain the Five Elements Heavenly Dragons.

This left everyone utterly astonished; even Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch could no longer remain seated calmly.

"This youth's combat prowess... I fear it has already entered the domain of an Eight Tribulations Immortal," he murmured, a flicker of awe in his eyes.

Nether Grand Austerity's heart was shaken with shock, his gaze burning with intense scrutiny.

One must understand that an Eight Tribulations Immortal was far, far beyond what a Seven Tribulations Immortal could be compared to.

If a Seven Tribulations Immortal could face a first-level Earth Immortal without fear, even possessing the potential to slay one, then the combat strength of an Eight Tribulations Immortal ranked among the very pinnacle even within the ranks of Early-stage Earth Immortal cultivators.

The Path Source [the condensed essence of one's cultivated path] within such an Immortal was more precious than that of many Earth Immortal Patriarch. If he could slay a single Eight Tribulations Immortal, he estimated he would have at least a fifty percent chance of breaking through into the realm of a Ninth Rank Immortal.

"Slay!"

After a moment of stunned shock, Nether Grand Austerity grasped that the situation had shifted.

With a flick of his sleeve, he gathered the full might of his World-Opening cultivation base and unleashed it. A boundless tide of World-Opening power surged forth, smashing into Earth Spring Patriarch and sending him flying through the air, coughing up blood.
