Chapter 1299 : A Clash of Immortal Titans

"There is no need for concern."

Eldrin Chen stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his tone brimming with confidence. "With my power, even an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a cultivator who has ascended to the foundational stage of earthly immortality] can be subdued."

Solara's expression was one of urgent anxiety, her voice heavy with gravity. "Your combat prowess is merely that of a Seventh Rank Immortal [a classification for powerful celestial beings]. You fail to grasp that beyond every man lies a greater man, and beyond every heaven, a higher heaven."

"Those Earth Immortal Progenitor who have lived for tens of millions of years are far beyond comparison with an Early Stage Earth Immortal [one newly ascended to the first tier of earthly immortality]. A single Middle Stage Earth Immortal [one who has reached the second tier of earthly immortality] would be more than enough to handle you with ease."

"Hmm?"

Eldrin Chen's expression darkened slightly, yet he replied with a smile. "With the strength of This Sovereign [a formal and powerful self-referential title used by high-ranking cultivators], slaying the two Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators on the very cusp of achieving full earthly immortality] of the Celestial Demon Sea was as simple as turning over my hand. This Sovereign has not been without experience in killing Earth Immortal Progenitor either."

"If the Immortal Maiden [a respectful title for a powerful female immortal] is unwilling to take action, then remain within the Abyssal Sea Region. Watch as I cleanse the Celestial Demon Sea."

"Arrogant fool!"

Solara's countenance shifted dramatically. With a face like a thundercloud, she slammed her cup down and stormed away.

The other immortals present exchanged uneasy glances, their expressions subtly changing. For a moment, they were at a loss for words, uncertain how to mediate between such formidable wills. This chapter appears courtesy of AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.

After Solara departed, the expression on Eldrin Chen's face grew even more somber. He looked at the assembled immortals and declared, "Since that is the case, then let the Three Immortal Maidens of Sun, Moon, and Stars and Fellow Daoist Skywind remain to guard the Abyssal Sea Region."

"The remaining immortals and seventy percent of the Cultivator Army shall accompany me to wage war upon the Celestial Demon Sea."

At his command, the war machine of the entire Abyssal Sea Region roared to life. Countless cultivators were conscripted, millions of Treasure Ships [enchanted vessels used for transportation and warfare] began to assemble, and the Myriad Trillions Army prepared to march upon the Celestial Demon Sea.

Even as the Abyssal Sea Region prepared for war, a protracted and monumental battle continued to rage far beyond the borders of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect.

No fewer than five Earth Immortal Progenitors [powerful cultivators who have attained the Earth Immortal realm] from Thousand Dragons Lake, leading over a thousand Nine Heavens True Dragons [supreme dragon-type demonic beasts] and innumerable legions of dragon-blooded Demonic Tribes [clans or races of demons], were relentlessly assaulting the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect.

This was a collision between two mighty Blessed Lands [regions of immense spiritual fortune and power]. On one side were tens of thousands of Demon Immortals [demonic cultivators who have attained the Immortal realm] and endless hordes of Demonic Tribes. On the other stood a Formation [a complex array of magical energy used for defense or attack] fortified over tens of millions of years. From the outset, the conflict was one of unparalleled ferocity.

The battle had raged for a full four Millenniums [periods of one thousand years]. The bones of the fallen had piled into seas, staining a vast expanse of ocean crimson for countless Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], yet still no decisive victory had been achieved.

Now, just outside the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect, upon the deck of a towering Heaven-Opening Ancient Ship [an ancient, colossal magical vessel], a group of horned figures stood shoulder to shoulder. As they reviewed a piece of intelligence in their hands, grave expressions settled upon each of their faces.

These figures were Earth Immortal True Dragons [True Dragons who have cultivated to the Earth Immortal realm] of the Thousand Dragons Lake lineage, each a supreme powerhouse at the level of a Supreme Ancient Ancestor [the pinnacle of the Ancient Ancestor cultivation realm].

Within the Grand Hall, five figures were present. One sat upon a dragon throne, while the other four were seated on either side, their auras manifesting in hues of crimson, violet, azure, and yellow. They were the four Grand Elders of Thousand Dragons Lake.

Among them, the crimson-robed figure was the First Grand Elder of Thousand Dragons Lake, named 'Blazeforge Ancient Ancestor'. It was said he was born from the transformation of a Primordial Blazing Dragon [an ancient, supremely powerful fire dragon].

At this moment, the Blazeforge Ancient Ancestor set down the letter and sneered coldly, "That junior Eldrin Chen slew four of our Half-Step Earth Immortals [cultivators on the cusp of the Earth Immortal realm] from Thousand Dragons Lake. Instead of staying obediently within the Abyssal Sea Region, he dares to emerge and enter the tribulation?"

"He is truly seeking his own death. This old man will go and behead him immediately." "You must not."

The Violet-Robed Ancient Ancestor seated nearby spoke up at once. This dragon was born from the transformation of Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Jade [a legendary jade imbued with the essence of thunder dragons], innately wielding the power of thunder. His strength was at the Fourth Heaven Earth Immortal [the fourth tier of the Earth Immortal cultivation realm], ranking second among the four great Grand Elders.

His expression was grave, tinged with hesitation as he inquired, "I fear there may be a trap."

"That junior Eldrin Chen slew four of our Half-Step Earth Immortals. He knows full well we would never let such an opportunity to kill him pass. Why, then, would he still make a move?"

Hearing this, the several Earth Immortal Progenitors [powerful cultivators who have ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] all nodded in agreement.

The Blazeforge Ancient Ancestor also furrowed his brow slightly but still argued, "I believe he thinks we are preoccupied with dealing with the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect and lack the strength to act against him."

"Perhaps that is part of the reason."

The Violet-Robed Ancient Ancestor nodded, then continued, "Currently, within the Abyssal Immortal Alliance, there are at least two Earth Immortal-level combatants. We likely cannot spare the hands to deal with him now either."

Blazeforge Ancient Ancestor's gaze flickered, and he spoke without delay: "It is said that Eldrin, the Junior possesses Three Dao Fruits [the condensed essence of one's cultivation path, representing profound attainment], granting him the potential to break through to Ninth Tribulation Immortal [an Immortal who has survived nine Heavenly Tribulations]. This is our best chance to deal with him."

"Regardless, we cannot let this opportunity slip through our fingers,

Therefore, I propose we mobilize a portion of our strength and join forces with several Demonic Tribe factions to strangle him in his cradle."

Having said this, Blazeforge Ancient Ancestor still turned his gaze towards the figure seated at the head of the gathering.

He understood clearly that among those present, the one who truly held the authority to make the final decision was the one seated above them all.

This figure before them was not only the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake, but also a supreme powerhouse at the Seventh Level Earth Immortal [the seventh stage of the Earth Immortal realm, denoting immense power]. Within the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, he was considered a formidable existence. Original publication: audio-novel`com - The source of this chapter.

Contrary to expectations, the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake did not make an immediate decision. After a moment of contemplation, he passed a letter to the others.

Upon opening it, they found it depicted the scene of the disagreement between Eldrin Chen and Solara.

"Hahaha! This Eldrin, the Junior, having merely slain a single Earth Immortal Progenitor [a foundational Earth Immortal ancestor], fancies myself to possess overwhelming strength, fearless of all powerful foes."

"Little does he know the peril of the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic Heavenly Trial]. Even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [one who has nearly ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm] faces the danger of falling, let alone a mere Seven Tribulations Immortal [an Immortal who has survived seven Heavenly Tribulations] like him."

Blazeforge Ancient Ancestor let out a hearty laugh and declared, "With Eldrin, the Junior having left behind the three top-tier combatants of Sun and Moon Star and Skywind the Daoist, his remaining strength is surely nothing to fear."

"When the time comes, I shall personally take action. Killing him will be as easy as turning over my hand."

"Such arrogance deserves to be met with calamity and downfall."

Seeing this, Violet-Robed Ancient Ancestor hesitated slightly and said, "The internal split within the Abyssal Sea Region must be a great secret, one he would guard with utmost secrecy. How exactly did this information leak out?"

Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake responded calmly, "Within the Abyssal Sea Region, there are several Demonic Tribe Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality through demonic cultivation]."

"Among them is a Demon Immortal [an immortal who follows the demonic path] named Peng the Roc Demon Sage. This demon possesses the bloodline of the Primordial Roc [a mythical bird of immense size and power from ancient times] and has simultaneously cultivated both an Immortal Physique [a body refined to the pinnacle, capable of housing immense immortal power] and Laws of the Dao [profound insights into the fundamental principles of reality, granting supreme power]. He possesses the bearing of a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme immortal who stands at the apex of the heavenly realm] and naturally refuses to remain subordinate to another."

"He offered this intelligence as a trade. Upon success, he demands the four Supreme Grade Acquired Spiritual Root [spiritual plants of the highest quality, born from heaven and earth after the primordial chaos] currently held by Abyssal Daoist."

Upon hearing this, the several Dragon Clan Elder Ancestors all breathed a sigh of relief.

That Blazeforge Ancient Ancestor sneered coldly and said, "Four Supreme Grade Acquired Spiritual Root? He certainly dares to make such an exorbitant demand."

"However, if it means killing Abyssal Daoist and overthrowing the Abyssal Sea Region, then four Supreme Grade Acquired Spiritual Root are but a small price to pay."

Seeing this, the Violet-Robed Ancient Ancestor still voiced his concern, "The credibility of this news is only eighty percent."

The Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake observed his reaction, then spoke, "Within the Abyssal Sea Region, there is a True Dragon [a supreme dragon species] born from the transformation of a Yi Wood Azure Dragon True Spirit [a powerful spiritual entity]."

"I once used the Sylvan Azure Dragon Inheritance [a profound cultivation method related to the Azure Dragon] as bait to secretly establish contact with it. I have already inquired about this matter with him, and it is indeed true."

At this point, the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake added, "Early this morning, Netherus sought me out. He wishes to make a move to seize the Dao Source [the primordial source of a cultivator's Dao] belonging to the Abyssal Daoist."

"This...?"

The Violet-Robed Ancient Ancestor's expression shifted slightly. That Netherus was an Eight Tribulations Demon Immortal [a demonic immortal who has survived eight heavenly tribulations], whose strength was already comparable to an Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is rooted in the earth]. If he were to advance further and forge a Nine Tribulations Demon Immortal [a demonic immortal who has survived nine heavenly tribulations], he would undoubtedly become a supreme powerhouse across the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea in the future.

Therefore, the moment Netherus made his request, there was essentially no room left for negotiation in this matter. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio-novel . com.
