Chapter 1414 : Ambush in the Endless Void

"Impossible," Eldrin Chen shook his head and spoke, "We have prepared for this battle for less than three days, and the lower-ranked Immortal [a being who has ascended to a higher plane of existence through cultivation] only learned of it today."

"Even if someone wanted to leak the information, it couldn't possibly have reached them this quickly."

Hearing this, the others present also nodded in agreement.

Everyone seated here was trustworthy; nurtured by the Immortal Alliance, they had transcended the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial faced by cultivators to ascend to immortality] and achieved Ascending to Immortality [the process of becoming an immortal], making it fundamentally impossible for them to betray the Immortal Alliance.

Moreover, they had all sworn Heavenly Dao Oath [a binding vow sworn upon the Heavenly Dao, the cosmic law, with severe consequences for breaking it], and their communication tools had been confiscated.

Under such circumstances, even if a message were sent, the Alligator Clan could not possibly have received it so swiftly.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen performed a mental calculation, confirming no anomalies before stating, "They have most likely gone out to ambush Immortal Alliance cultivators. We need only wait here."

And wait the immortals did, for three full days.

After those three days, Eldrin Chen finally detected a faint, elusive ripple of Void [the primordial emptiness or spatial void, often a medium for powerful techniques] energy.

There, within the Endless Void, a strange object was seen navigating through a Void Seam [a fissure or thin boundary within the fabric of the Void], making its way towards the Immortal Island. Published by audio-novel[dot]com. All rights reserved.

"Be cautious," Eldrin Chen spoke, channeling the full power of the Yin-Yang Void Realm to suppress all spatial fluctuations and auras.

At that very moment, several figures emerged from the Void Seam. Seven Demonic Tribe Earth Immortal Progenitors stepped forth, and a member of the Alligator Clan spoke with evident displeasure, "The cultivators of the Abyssal Sea Realm grow more cowardly by the day."

"In years past, we could still feast upon Demi-Immortals from time to time. Now, we scarcely even encounter Nascent Soul Cultivators."

Dragon Lord of Wei Sea also gave a slight nod and added, "The Human Race possesses Dao Ancestor Immortal Sages, their flesh and blood containing a trace of Dao essence [the fundamental principle or path in Chinese philosophy], making them natural Dao Bodys."

"Even their common mortals hold Dao essence within their flesh, a potent tonic for beings like us. A pity the quantity is far too meager."

"The numbers of mortals under these Nascent Soul Immortal Clans are pitifully small. A single Immortal Island holds merely a few trillion souls—hardly enough to whet the appetite."

Dragon Lord of Wei Sea shook his head, his eyes glinting with cold indifference. To an existence such as his, trillions of mortals combined were but insignificant ants, unworthy of his genuine interest.

With this thought, Dragon Lord of Wei Sea continued, "I have heard that within the Abyssal Sea Realm, there are hundreds of millions of cultivators, and common folk beyond counting."

"If they were all devoured, my cultivation might advance a fraction, allowing me to break through to the Eighth Level Earth Immortal realm sooner."

Seeing this, the Great Wilderness Alligator Clan [a powerful clan of demonic cultivators descended from ancient alligators] frowned slightly and said, "The Human Race has the Celestial Court [the supreme governing body of the heavens, overseeing all realms] patrolling the myriad heavens. Fellow Daoist [a respectful term used between cultivators], you should still be cautious."

"It matters not," declared the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea [a powerful dragon sovereign ruling over the Wei Sea], his voice brimming with absolute confidence. "Our Dragon Race Progenitor Dragon is a Celestial Emperor of the Demon Court [the counterpart to the Celestial Court, ruling over demonic and bestial races]. Here in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [a vast and perilous sea region in the western part of the world], our Dragon Race also has the True Dragon Grotto-Heaven [a sacred and powerful pocket realm established by ancient True Dragons] anchoring the Cosmos."

"What can they possibly do to me for devouring a few mere mortals of the Human Race? I fear nothing. Who dares to slay me?"

As he spoke these words, the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea swelled with immense pride, his demeanor radiating an aura that regarded all heroes under heaven as mere ants.

"I dare!"

Then, from within the Void [the formless, empty space between realms], a majestic figure strode forth. With a flick of his sleeve, a blinding bolt of thunderous light cleaved downward, striking toward the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea in the blink of an eye.

"Trouble!"

The Patriarch of the Alligator Clan [the supreme leader of the Great Wilderness Alligator Clan] felt his heart lurch. He immediately sought to lend aid, only to find several formidable attacks already converging upon myself. Forced to prioritize his own survival, he hastily withdrew to defend himself.

Caught completely off guard, the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea reacted in shock, hurriedly summoning his Lifebound Supreme Treasure [a cultivator's most powerful artifact, fused with their life essence], the 'Wei Sea Celestial Pearl' [a divine pearl embodying the power of the Wei Sea], to shield his body. Yet, in that very instant, it was seized away by a Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a supreme divine technique manifesting as a radiant light of five colors].

Immediately after, the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea was sent flying backward by the five-colored thunderous radiance, suffering grievous wounds in an instant. His combat prowess was diminished by more than thirty percent.

Only at this moment did ten figures of imposing and majestic aura descend from the heavens, each one an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a cultivator who has ascended to the foundational stage of earthly immortality].

Furthermore, several Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators on the very cusp of achieving earthly immortality] and over a hundred Immortal [cultivators who have attained the first major stage of immortality] appeared, wielding Formation Flags [enchanted banners used to set up and power magical arrays] that enveloped the heavens and the earth.

"Flee, now!"

Witnessing this scene, the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan felt his heart lurch with dread.

He hastily summoned his Void [a profound cultivation art related to spatial manipulation] treasure, the 'Single Breath Sky-Fleeing Pearl' [a pearl that allows its user to traverse vast distances through the void in a single breath], intending to tear through the Void and escape.

Yet, high in the Firmament [the vault of heaven], the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void [a mystical mirror that governs the principles of light, shadow, and space], empowered by the Spatial Law [the fundamental Dao principle governing space and dimension], unleashed boundless Void Power [a spatial force that can isolate and lock down an area] that sealed everything shut.

This Single Breath Sky-Fleeing Pearl was merely a Low Grade World Creation Treasure [a lower-tier treasure capable of minor world-shaping effects], fundamentally no match for the Mid-Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [a mid-tier treasure of world-shattering power] that was the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void. Moreover, with Eldrin Chen channeling it through his comprehension of the Spatial Law, the treasure's efficacy had risen to rival that of a High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [a supreme-tier treasure of immense destructive and spatial power]. With space utterly locked down, Eldrin Chen stepped forward calmly. Clad in a simple White Robe, his body surged with billowing Primordial Chaos [the primeval, undifferentiated state from which all creation emerged] aura. He resembled a peerless Immortal King patrolling the heavens, or a Celestial Emperor descending upon the mortal realm. Find thousands of chapters at audio_novel.com.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, a torrential wave of Primordial Chaos Aura [the raw, creative-destructive energy of the primordial universe] swept forth. A single palm strike sent the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea flying once more, his body exploding in a shower of blood and flesh.

"Aaaagh!"

Spitting blood as he was sent hurtling through the air again, the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea wore a look of utter terror. "Who are you?" he cried out. "Why are you attacking me?"

In that moment, Dragon Lord of Wei Sea could scarcely believe it was Eldrin Chen who had struck.

"Did you not vow to feast upon the Human Race?"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, his expression serene as he declared, "I am the Human Race."

With those words, he empowered his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body with supreme Rule Power [the authority to command fundamental cosmic laws]. Each stride carried boundless, world-shaking might as he traversed the heavens. His majestic, overwhelming aura pressed down upon the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea, leaving the dragon lord gasping for breath.

The Patriarch of the Alligator Clan witnessed this and wished to intervene, to offer aid, yet found himself utterly unable to disengage.

Lyra Jiang, Verdant Consort, Nyssa Qu, Sky Abyss Daoist, Ancient Ruins Yin Lord, Lila, and Yvonne the Violet Consort—these seven had joined forces, their combined assault driving him back step by step. It was not that the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan was weak, but rather that his opponents possessed truly heaven-defying combat prowess.

Lyra Jiang alone was a foe requiring his full concentration and effort to overcome. The combined might of Nyssa Qu and the Verdant Consort already demanded his utmost caution.

This was to say nothing of the four other combatants—Sky Abyss Daoist, Ancient Ruins Yin Lord, Lila, and Yvonne the Violet Consort—each wielding power comparable to the Earth Immortal Sixth Layer [the sixth stage of the Earth Immortal cultivation realm].

With such a formidable alliance of seven, they could contend not merely with an Eighth Level Earth Immortal, but even with a weaker practitioner who had reached Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal realm].

Besieged by this terrifying host of powerful enemies, the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan was left with strength enough only for self-preservation.

With this thought, he turned his gaze towards the five Earth Immortal [powerful cultivators who have ascended to the terrestrial immortal realm] at his side. After all, they still possessed the combat strength of five Earth Immortal. If these five could be the first to break the deadlock, perhaps they still had a chance to turn the tide of this battle.

Yet, a single glance at their situation sent a jolt of dread through his heart.

Those five Middle Stage Earth Immortal [Earth Immortals who have reached the intermediate stage of their realm] were indeed extraordinary, but their opponents were even more formidable.

Among those five Earth Immortal, three were respectively held at bay by Skywind the Daoist, Earth Spring Ancient Ancestor, and Six Stars Immortal.

Another was besieged by a group of seven Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators on the very cusp of breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm], including Master of the Dao Palace, Lin Tianqi, and Six Stars Celestial Prison, and could not possibly extricate himself.

The remaining and strongest among them, a fifth-layer Earth Immortal from the Wei Sea Dragon Palace, was blocked by Caelan Chen wielding eighteen Vast Sea Divine Pearl [divine pearls containing the boundless power of the ocean]. Not only was he held back, but he was even faintly being pushed into a disadvantageous position.

"Could this youth be another Ninth Tribulation Immortal [an Immortal who has survived the legendary Ninth Heavenly Tribulation]?"

The Patriarch of the Alligator Clan felt a shock in his heart, and his spirit sank even deeper. It was at this very moment that a pivotal battle high in the Firmament [the highest vault of the heavens] reached its conclusion.

Even at the peak of his power, the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea likely would not have been a match for Eldrin Chen, let alone now, having lost his Bodyguard Supreme Treasure [a paramount protective artifact] and already grievously wounded by a sneak attack.

Witness then, as Eldrin Chen unleashed his full might. Each move carried a crushing, overwhelming momentum, leaving the Dragon Lord no room to flee. After a mere thirty-seven exchanges, Eldrin Chen had utterly vanquished and slain the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea amidst the vast expanse between heaven and earth.
