Chapter 1447 : A Treacherous Alliance Forged

A Spatial Supreme Treasure of the Eighth Rank High Grade is of extraordinary value. While it may not quite match a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, its worth surpasses that of an ordinary High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure by several times.

Their acquaintance was not deep; she did not even know Eldrin Chen's true identity. If she entrusted the treasure to him and he deceived her, the loss would be catastrophic.

With this thought, Zixuan the Daoist hesitated.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke immediately: "Time is of the essence now. With Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor watching us like a tiger, we could be surrounded by the Yin Crow horde again at any moment."

"If Fellow Daoist cannot make a decision, it is still timely for us to flee separately now."

Hearing this, Zixuan the Ancient Ancestor fell into deep contemplation.

He glanced into the depths of the Void and pondered aloud: "That Yin Crow Ancient Fiend cost me a top-grade Heaven-Opening Ancient Ship. This enmity is irreconcilable; only his death can quench the hatred in my heart."

"Even if I do not seek to kill him, as one with the potential to reach the Heaven Immortal Realm, I remain his primary target for encirclement and slaughter."

"A fair duel would be one thing, but this individual is treacherous and cunning. He hides in the shadows, refusing to engage directly, instead using endless swarms of Yin Crow Fire Crow to besiege me. It is a tactic of utmost malice and cruelty."

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Zixuan the Ancient Ancestor finally resolved himself: "Though this is our first meeting, I perceive in your bearing the demeanor of one who walks the righteous path." Continue reading this story at *audio-novel.com*.

"Today, this old man will take a risk and place my trust in you, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator]. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator]. You will not be disappointed."

As he spoke, Eldrin Chen used the Void Law [a profound law governing emptiness and space] as a veil, secretly drawing Zixuan the Ancient Ancestor's Spatial Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade treasure of spatial manipulation] into his dantian [the core energy center in a cultivator's lower abdomen] to refine it.

This treasure of Zixuan the Ancient Ancestor was named the 'Realm-Sky Pot'. It contained a world within itself and was an Eighth Rank High Grade Spatial Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure of spatial nature]. Within it resided a Divine Ability [a powerful supernatural technique] capable of sealing the Void [the fundamental principle of emptiness and space] of heaven and earth.

With Zixuan the Ancient Ancestor personally relinquishing control, Eldrin Chen did not take long to preliminarily refine this Realm-Sky Pot. Although he had not touched its core Dao Patterns [the fundamental patterns of the Dao, the cosmic principle], it was sufficient to activate the treasure.

Seeing this was done, Eldrin Chen immediately withdrew the treasure, and together with the others, flew towards the distant Void [the fundamental principle of emptiness and space].

However, after flying for a long while, the Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor still had not appeared, causing anxiety to stir within everyone's hearts.

Zixuan the Ancient Ancestor frowned slightly and could not help but ask, "Could it be that the Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor is afraid and dares not block our path?"

"I doubt it."

Eldrin Chen spoke, then looked deep into the Void [the fundamental principle of emptiness and space]. There, beyond the endless expanse of heaven and earth, he saw a boundless, overwhelming tide of Yin Crow Fire Crow [demonic crows of shadow and flame] surging forth.

In the more distant Void [the formless space between realms], vast swarms of Yin Crow Fire Crow [demonic crows wreathed in shadow and flame] converged from all directions, seeming intent on shrouding the entire heavens and earth.

"These demonic crows…"

An Eighth Level Earth Immortal Ancient Ancestor swallowed hard, his complexion turning slightly pale. The number of these Yin Crow [shadow crows] was far from mere hundreds of thousands; they numbered in the millions.

Zixuan the Daoist and the other few cultivators at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] also wore solemn expressions. The gravity in their pupils betrayed that the calm on their surface was merely a facade.

"Before the crows fully encircle us, we break through from the left flank."

Seeing the endless tide of demonic crows closing in, Eldrin Chen spoke decisively and was the first to surge forward.

The others followed swiftly, aiming to slip through the gap in the encirclement before it sealed shut.

With the flight speed of these Earth Immortal [powerful cultivators who have transcended mortality and anchored their power to the earth], they would undoubtedly have escaped the closing net of crows had no one intervened.

Just as they were about to clear the perimeter, from within the Void erupted billions of black-crow-shaped Sword Qi [projected blades of condensed spiritual energy]. They rained down in a frenzied assault upon the gathered Earth Immortal Progenitor [venerable Earth Immortals], seeking to force them back.

"We've been waiting for you!"

"Now!"

In that very instant, a dazzling light erupted from the eyes of Eldrin Chen.

With a flick of his sleeve, he suddenly summoned the Realm-Sky Pot [a supreme spatial treasure], which manifested a Void [a profound spatial law] domain to seal off this entire expanse of Void [empty space].

In the blink of an eye, the entire expanse of millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] of Void [empty space] was enveloped, forcing a figure piloting a precious shuttle into the open.

"Disaster!"

The heart of Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor [a powerful, shadowy demonic cultivator] sank. He immediately tried to activate the Heaven-Fleeing Shuttle [a legendary artifact for swift escape] to flee, only to find he could not pierce through the congealed Void [spatial fabric]. The story continues at audio novel.com.

And in that same moment, the other Earth Immortal Progenitor [powerful cultivators who have ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] who had been lying in wait made their move.

Zixuan the Daoist [a Daoist master renowned for his mastery of thunder arts] was the first to strike, instantly unleashing a blinding arc of lightning—the legendary Violet Firmament Divine Thunder [a supreme heavenly thunder technique].

In a Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time from Buddhist cosmology, less than a second], the Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor was sent flying backward, a top-grade World Creation [a realm of immense power] Demonic Treasure [an artifact forged with demonic energy] utterly shattered by the tyrannical force of the thunder.

Before the Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor could even react, Broken Cauldron True Lord [a True Lord known for his indomitable will and martial prowess] made the second move, soaring into the air with a battle spear in hand and thrusting it forward.

The Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor sought to evade, but suddenly heard a melodious ringing of a bell. A wave of mental disorientation washed over him, making it difficult to control his own Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by practitioners]. By the time he regained his senses, it was already too late.

Seizing the moment, the Broken Cauldron True Lord drove his spear through the Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor's physical body, inflicting a grievous, crippling wound.

"Agh!"

The Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor let out a wretched scream, finally realizing that the Beautiful Female Immortal had activated a small, delicate bell, ensnaring his Divine Soul [the spiritual core of a cultivator] for a fleeting instant.

That small bell was named the Nine Nethers Soul-Snatching Bell, an exceptionally unique High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact capable of opening pathways to higher realms] specifically designed to counter a cultivator's Primordial Spirit [the foundational spiritual essence of a being]. Even a powerhouse at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] could be caught off guard and fall victim to its power.

Now gravely wounded, the Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor was seized by terror. Abandoning any thought of further ambush, he instantly discarded his physical shell, fleeing for his life with his Primordial Spirit housed within a Demon Embryo [a demonic vessel for housing a spirit].

Yet, with several dozen Earth Immortal Progenitor [powerful cultivators at the Earth Immortal stage] present, how could they possibly allow his escape?

In the blink of an eye, the several dozen Earth Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] acted in unison, completely sealing off all paths of retreat.

The Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor, in a final, desperate struggle, attempted to activate several of his top-grade World Creation [a concept related to the power of creation and shaping reality] Demonic Treasure [demonic enchanted artifacts] to blast through the encirclement. However, Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang used their Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine ability manifesting as radiant light of five colors] to seize two of the World Creation Demonic Treasure.

Although the remaining treasures were formidable, Zixuan the Daoist was even more so. As a thunder-aligned cultivator—a path that inherently counters Demonic Cultivator [practitioners who follow demonic cultivation methods]—the threat Zixuan the Daoist posed to Demonic Cultivator far exceeded that of an ordinary Earth Immortal Great Perfection.

Over these years, he had continuously ventured into the Nether Abyss Purgatory Sea. Zixuan the Daoist even possessed a battle record of single-handedly defeating a siege by five Earth Immortal Great Perfection Demonic Cultivators.

At this moment, without the Heaven-Fleeing Shuttle, Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor relying solely on his own power was no match for Zixuan the Daoist.

Enraged and filled with hatred, Zixuan the Daoist struck relentlessly. Within a mere three moves, he shattered three of Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor's Demonic Treasures. Finally, he channeled the 'Zixuan's Demon-Slaying Sword' to utterly annihilate his foe.

"Finally, he is slain!"

With Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor slain, everyone let out a deep sigh of relief.

This Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor, relying on the Heaven-Fleeing Shuttle and some treacherous method, had nearly caused the ignoble demise of dozens of Earth Immortal Progenitors. Such underhanded tactics were truly despicable.

Now, having found their chance for vengeance, they struck with their full might. Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor did not even last ten breaths under their combined assault, finally allowing them to vent their pent-up fury.

After swiftly collecting the treasures of Yin Crow Ancient Ancestor, Eldrin Chen retrieved the Realm-Sky Pot. Only then did he realize they were completely surrounded by countless Yin Crow Fire Crows.

Fortunately, they were prepared. Zixuan the Daoist summoned a treasure capable of piercing through space, instantly tearing through the Void [the empty space between dimensions] and carrying them all away to safety. Find this and other novels at site: audio-novel.com.
