Chapter 1330 : Lyra (Person Name) Emerges from Seclusion

"Could I, as I am now, stand against the Master of the 1000 Dragons Lake?"

Sensing the power within himself, Eldrin fell into brief contemplation before shaking his head moments later. As the watershed among immortals, Earth Immortals often varied drastically in strength from 1 another.

An ordinary First-Level Earth Immortal would typically only open 2 or 3 layers of the celestial aperture. Even to eliminate a relatively powerful 6 Tribulations Half-Step Earth Immortal, they would need to expend considerable effort.

And those at the late Earth Immortal stage were all powerful beings who had opened at least 5 or 6 layers of celestial realms. Among them, the slightly stronger ones had even opened 7 or even 8 layers.

These individuals possessed the bearing of Celestial Immortal mighty figures, having cultivated at least 2 or more Primordial Foundations. Their Natal Primordial Treasures and divine abilities numbered no less than 2 or 3, making their combat prowess dozens of times greater than that of ordinary early-stage cultivators.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, even if 2 or 3 dozen Earth Immortals at the first level like the Earth Spring Ancestor joined forces, they would still be utterly insignificant when facing a seventh-level Earth Immortal.

Unless a mid-stage Earth Immortal expert stood at the forefront to bear the brunt of the late-stage Earth Immortal Patriarch's overwhelming pressure, even an ordinary First-Level Earth Immortal would likely fail to withstand more than a move or 2 against such a formidable opponent.

“Our encounter at the Azure Stream Ancient Sect was brief, yet I have learned that the Master of the 1000 Dragon Lake once opened 6 layers of the heavens.”

"By that count, he must have not only cultivated 2 Foundations of World Creation, but also possesses 3 or 4 World Creation Treasures and Divine Abilities combined."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his brow growing increasingly heavy with concentration.

A terrestrial immortal at the seventh tier who had opened 6 celestial layers must have been at least a 7 or even 8-tribulation immortal in the past—the most elite talents among all immortals.

When they had just stepped into the first level of Earth Immortal realm, their combat prowess had already approached the mid-stage of Earth Immortal. Let alone now, having cultivated all the way to the seventh level of Earth Immortal.

Even though Eldrin had stepped into the forbidden realm and his power had permanently stabilized at the late-stage Earth Immortal realm, he only possessed a single Mystique-level divine ability. Facing a late-stage Earth Immortal, his methods remained considerably limited.

"His power has stabilized at the Earth Immortal late stage, though he lacks sufficient divine abilities and immortal treasures, and his magical energy remains somewhat sparse." "Nevertheless, having truly stepped into the realm of the Earth Immortal late stage, he now possesses the capacity to hold his own in battle."

Eldrin's mind raced as he continuously assessed the combat capabilities of both sides, attempting to deduce the outcome of this battle. The more he calculated, the more he realized the profound difficulty that lay ahead.

At this moment, he profoundly sensed the overwhelming power of his opponent. Had he not ventured into the forbidden realm, this battle would have held no suspense at all.

At this thought, a growing sense of dread washed over him as he recalled his own audacity from years past—how he had recklessly sought to rescue the Azure River Sect single-handedly.

Within the Verdant Streams Ancient Sect, had Eldrin been even a moment slower, the Primordial Chaos Unitary Qi True Aura would likely have been shattered on the spot, with not a single soul escaping alive.

Back then, Eldrin had yet to set foot in the forbidden realm and did not truly comprehend the might of the seventh level of the Earth Immortal realm. Had he known, he would most likely not have ventured there.

Just as Eldrin's thoughts raced incessantly, a formidable aura suddenly emanated from the adjacent seclusion chamber.

Eldrin could clearly sense that the fifth strand of rule power Lyra had been comprehending had fully taken form. Immediately after, this rule intertwined and cycled with the other 4, ultimately converging into a single, supreme and formidable rule force.

The Great 5 Elements Rule of the Infinite.

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a flicker of delight passing through his eyes.

He hastily suppressed his straying thoughts and rose to look toward Lyra's seclusion chamber. Just as expected, the massive doors rumbled open, and a woman stepped forth—clad in a pristine white gown, her presence transcendent and peerless.

"Husband."

Lyra murmured, a faint smile gracing her lips.

Eldrin smiled faintly and promptly grasped Lyra's hand, saying, "My lady, having comprehended the Primordial Chaos Rules and stepped into the realm of 9 Tribulation Immortals, your path of cultivation shall henceforth be smooth and unobstructed."

"Thanks to your derivation of the Chaos and Infinite Nothingness rules, my love, otherwise I might not have broken through so swiftly." Lyra (Person Name) smiled gently. As her words faded, she lifted her gaze toward the battlefield beyond the Sea of Returning Abyss, her eyes shimmering with subtle light. "Now, it's time for us to join the fray."

"Very well."

Eldrin nodded, then took a single step out of the Return to Ruins Blessed Realm, heading straight for the depths of the Li Fire Abyss.

Meanwhile, within the Eldrin Sea, that brutal battle continued to rage on.

Hundreds of demonic immortals from the demon race, accompanied by hundreds of treasure ships and a 100 million-strong army, relentlessly assaulted the formation, clashing violently against the Cosmic Star Formation.

High in the firmament, a full 4 Earth Immortals at the early stage, 1 at the sixth level, and 2 at the seventh level continuously unleashed their attacks.

Ordinary early-stage Earth Immortals and Half-Step Demon Immortals were nothing to worry about, but with the numerous Earth Immortals of the Abyssal Sea continuously joining the fray, they managed to hold off the enemy’s assault for a time.

However, the master of 1000 Dragon Lake and the Heavenly Prison Flame Lord proved exceptionally difficult to deal with—these 2 seventh-level Earth Immortals were far too powerful.

Even when the master of the Ancient Azure Stream Sect activated the Cosmic Star Formation, wielded the Ancient Bell of Celestial Spheres and the Yin-Yang Immortal-Severing Formation in battle, and even went so far as to summon the Ancient Azure Stream Sword, he could only barely hold back 1 of them.

The remaining individual now had a free hand to continuously assail the Cosmic Star Formation, exerting unprecedented pressure upon it.

"You cannot stop us!"

Amidst the great battle, the Master of 1000 Dragon Lake revealed an icy, stern expression.

With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned an ancient cyan-gold shield to block the Verdant River Ancient Sword, then activated the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase to unleash its light of creation and destruction, causing the Cosmic Star Formation to tremble with scattered radiance.

The Heaven-Prison Flame Lord also struck simultaneously, his Heaven-Prison War Halberd descending with boundless power to suppress everything. "Damn it!"

Seeing this, the Sect Master of Qingchuan Ancient Sect felt his heart sink.

He knew full well that the Abyssal Sea was no blessed paradise like Greenriver. Against a single late-stage Earth Immortal, they might barely hold their ground, but facing the relentless assault of 2 such beings, it was unlikely they could endure for long. The thought made his heart sink slightly, growing ever more somber.

Just as the Heaven Prison Flame Lord’s full-force strike was about to descend, a Primordial Chaos Hand that blotted out the sky soared from the void, actually seizing and suppressing the Heaven Prison War Halberd in its grasp.

Witnessing this scene, the immortals felt a flicker of relief in their hearts, their gazes turning in unison toward the newcomer.

But then Eldrin was seen strolling through the air, arriving with ethereal grace. With a mere flick of his sleeve, he effortlessly restrained the Lord of Heavenly Prison Flame. "So you've truly emerged from seclusion!"

The assembled immortals couldn't help but breathe a faint sigh of relief upon seeing Eldrin's arrival.

Before they could say anything, Eldrin declared, "Leave the Heaven Prison Flame Lord to me. For now, let's focus on holding them off in this battle."

As his words faded, he activated his various divine abilities and immortal treasures, successively countering the myriad techniques of the Celestial Prison Flame Monarch.

"Eldrin, you vile brat! You finally show yourself!"

As Eldrin emerged from seclusion, before the Flaming Prison Monarch could utter a word, an icy voice cut through the air.

The newcomer was none other than Tianyu Zi, a peerless celestial being of the Tianyu Clan. Having fully refined the Dao Origin of the elderly Daoist Qingxuan, he had clearly stepped into the realm of 9 Tribulations Immortals.

After becoming the Patriarch of the Celestial Prison Clan, he emerged as the second 9-Tribulation Immortal within the Celestial Prison Clan of the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea.
