Chapter 1415 : The God-Slaying Dagger's Descent

From beginning to end of this battle, the Dragon Lord of Wei Sea was utterly powerless to resist, being suppressed and slain within mere moments.

High upon the Firmament, witnessing this scene, the Celestial Alligator Ancient Ancestor was inwardly shaken by Eldrin Chen's combat prowess. Yet, by this point, any thought of escape was already too late.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, Eldrin Chen unleashed the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand [a divine technique that seizes and suppresses with the power of primordial chaos], which pressed down with overwhelming force, leaving the foe no choice but to defend with his full might.

Simultaneously, Lila, Yvonne the Violet Consort, Sky Abyss Daoist, and Ancient Ruins Yin Lord [a powerful entity associated with ancient ruins and the Yin aspect] freed their hands and joined forces to encircle and slay the five Earth Immortal Progenitor [a cultivator who has attained the Earth Immortal realm, a high level of power] from the Demonic Tribe.

"The situation is dire."

Seeing this, the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan felt his heart sink. He understood that if this continued, the five Earth Immortal Progenitor of the Demonic Tribe would likely be executed before long.

By that time, facing the combined assault of ten Earth Immortal Progenitor, he would stand not a sliver of hope for survival.

At this thought, the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan gritted his teeth fiercely and immediately declared, "This Sovereign [a formal and arrogant self-referential title used by powerful cultivators] will fight you to the death!"

He was seen deliberately taking a blow from Eldrin Chen's blade, enduring the grievous, blood-spurting wound to unleash a dazzlingly brilliant flying dagger artifact. With a fierce motion, he sent it slashing towards Verdant Consort.

"Beware! It's the God-Slaying Flying Dagger [a legendary magical weapon famed for its ability to slay even deities]!" This content originates from audi novel.com. Please respect copyright.

Witnessing this scene, Eldrin Chen cried out in alarm.

The treasure unleashed by the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan was a unique and extraordinary artifact. This treasure, named the God-Slaying Flying Dagger, was a supreme treasure born from the World-Opening Spiritual Root known as the God-Slaying Treasure Tree.

Nurtured by the World-Opening Spiritual Root, this artifact could continuously store World-Opening Power [the primordial force that shaped the cosmos] within itself. In theory, the limit of the power it could unleash was often far greater than its apparent grade.

This particular God-Slaying Flying Dagger before them appeared to be at the Initial Entry Eighth Rank High Grade level. Yet, the power contained within it was utterly staggering, sufficient to rival a full-force strike from a cultivator at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection realm.

Such power was enough to slay immortals and vanquish deities, capable of annihilating even a Late Stage Earth Immortal with a single blow.

Of course, this treasure had its flaw. Each time it was activated, it would consume all the energy stored within. Thereafter, it required nurturing for over ten thousand years to recover its power.

Therefore, while this extraordinary artifact possessed immense destructive might, it held only a single strike's worth of power, serving solely as a trump card held in reserve for a desperate moment.

Recalling the terrifying nature of this artifact, Eldrin Chen hesitated not a moment. He immediately unleashed the Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine light capable of sealing and suppressing all things], seeking to bind and lock down that flying dagger. Yet, the dagger proved truly extraordinary. Even the Five-Colored Divine Radiance could not fully suppress it; after a mere instant of stagnation, it shattered the binding and broke free.

Fortunately, that fleeting moment of delay provided Verdant Consort with a sliver of opportunity to survive.

Behold, Verdant Consort swiftly withdrew, her form blurring as she narrowly evaded the certain death promised by the God-Slaying Flying Dagger's lethal strike.

Yet this retreat granted Patriarch of the Alligator Clan an opening. Witnessing the God-Slaying Flying Dagger unleash its peerless might, it instantly pierced through the grand formation.

Thereupon, the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan transformed into a streak of Swiftflight Light and shot forth, escaping beyond the confines of the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation.

"You cannot flee."

Eldrin Chen murmured. Suppressing the Single Breath Sky-Fleeing Pearl with the Yin-Yang Void Realm, he then transformed into a stream of radiant light and gave chase.

The Patriarch of the Alligator Clan's flight speed was formidable to begin with. Now, burning his own vital essence and World CreationPrimordial Source in a desperate bid for survival, the velocity of his Swiftflight Light increased by another thirty percent. At such extreme speed, even ordinary Earth Immortal cultivators of the eighth or ninth layers would find catching him no easy feat.

However, Eldrin Chen had cultivated the Five-Colored Aurora. Wielding the power of his Mysterious Profound-grade Escape Art Divine Ability, he traversed the heavens and earth of the Endless Void in an instant. It was not long before he caught up to the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan.

"Eldrin, the Junior, must you truly pursue a fight to the death with This Sovereign?"

Seeing he could not shake Eldrin Chen, the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan roared in furious indignation.

As his words fell, he gripped a massive spear and struck out horizontally, engaging Eldrin Chen in battle while continuing his flight, attempting to hinder his pursuer's advance.

Thus began a chase, one fleeing, the other pursuing. Unbeknownst to them, they had already crossed countless hundreds of millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] of ocean. This pursuit, this hunt, stretched on for decades.

By the time the pursuit reached this point, Lyra Jiang and the others could no longer keep up. The Patriarch of the Alligator Clan continuously expended his Primordial Source [the foundational life-force of a cultivator] and Lifebound Essence Blood [vital blood essence tied to one's life force] to flee, yet he could never outpace the speed of the Five-Colored Aurora.

Only when his Primordial Source was depleted by more than half did he realize he still could not shake the pursuit of Eldrin Chen.

"Our base flight speeds are nearly equal. Yet, my Orthodox-grade Escape Art Divine Ability [a supreme movement technique], now mastered, can accelerate me twelvefold. By consuming double the Mana [spiritual energy used to power techniques], and even sacrificing my essence blood and Primordial Source, my escape speed increases by another thirty percent. That makes a total of sixteen times my normal flight speed!"

"With such speed, even a powerhouse at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] would find it difficult to catch me."

"Could this man's speed truly surpass that of a Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivator?" The Patriarch of the Alligator Clan was inwardly shocked. He was sacrificing his essence blood and Primordial Source to flee. By all logic, even a Earth Immortal Great Perfection expert should have lost him by now, or simply given up the chase.

Yet, Eldrin Chen had pursued him relentlessly. Though Eldrin's face seemed somewhat pale, he clung to the trail without faltering. Continue reading this story at audio‑novel.com.

What the Patriarch did not know was that Eldrin's Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine movement ability] was a Profound Grade Divine Ability [a supreme-tier technique], granting a full twenty-fivefold increase in flight speed.

The Five-Colored Divine Radiance was Eldrin's Lifebound Divine Ability [an innate ability tied to one's very being]. As long as he did not overexert this Divine Ability, the Mana consumption for maintaining it was minimal, even when channeling it at several times its normal power.

Thus, while he appeared to be straining every fiber to keep up, Eldrin was in fact merely shadowing his prey, letting the Patriarch exhaust himself.

Eldrin still retained the greater part of his Mana. His plan was to force the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan to bleed his essence and Mana dry in his desperate flight. He would wait until the Patriarch's reserves were utterly spent before delivering the final blow.

In this way, they avoided the danger of the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan fighting like a cornered beast, which could have inflicted severe injuries upon themselves.

"Now, my vital essence and my Primordial Source [the foundational energy of heaven and earth] are severely depleted. I cannot continue to expend them like this."

Seeing that he could not shake off Eldrin Chen, the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan hardened his resolve. With a cold, grim expression, he thought, "This man has just broken through to the First Layer Earth Immortal [the initial stage of the Earth Immortal realm]. No matter how potent his Mana [the refined spiritual energy used by cultivators for spells and techniques] is, it cannot surpass mine.

"After chasing me for so long, how much combat strength can he possibly retain?"

With this thought flashing through his mind, the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan ceased his flight.

He summoned his great spear, sweeping it across the eight directions, and then conjured a Heaven-Cleaving Great Axe [a mighty axe said to possess the power to cleave the heavens], bringing it down in a furious slash, intending to fight Eldrin Chen to the death.

Yet Eldrin Chen merely let out a cold laugh. With a flick of his sleeve, a beam of Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine light composed of five colors, representing the five elements] shot forth, ensnaring the Heaven-Cleaving Great Axe and pulling it into his grasp.

"A fine treasure. But it is mine now." *Thud*

Before the battle had even truly begun, he had lost a High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [a top-tier magical artifact of immense power]. The Patriarch of the Alligator Clan nearly choked on a surge of rebellious blood, barely suppressing it.

Overwhelmed with bitter resentment, he gripped his great spear tightly and launched a fierce horizontal strike, not daring to let this weapon leave his hand for even a moment.

Eldrin Chen let out a cold sneer. The Primordial Chaos Qi [the primordial, undifferentiated energy from which all things originate] around him surged mightily. His Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique said to be forged from the essence of primordial chaos, granting near-absolute resilience] carried a world-shaking momentum, crushing everything in its path and forcing the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan into a desperate retreat.

In all fairness, the combat prowess of the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan was truly extraordinary. The spear and axe in his hands were both supreme treasures of terrifying power; even an existence at the Earth Immortal Nine Layers [the ninth and final stage of the Earth Immortal realm, one step below becoming a true Celestial Immortal] would not dare to face them head-on.

Such combat strength was not necessarily half a step weaker than Eldrin Chen's own.

Yet Eldrin Chen possessed the Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine ability that manifests as a five-colored light capable of capturing and suppressing all things]. Nothing born of Heaven and Earth Five Elements [the five fundamental elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth that constitute all matter in the cosmos] could escape its grasp. Before the battle had even truly begun, he had already seized the Heaven-Cleaving Great Axe, stripping away thirty percent of the Patriarch of the Alligator Clan's offensive power. With such a handicap, what suspense could possibly remain in this clash? Your portal to cultivation novels: audio-novel . com.
