Chapter 1479 : Clash of Immortals and Ancient Treasures

Considering this, Eldrin Chen spoke: "Since the Ghost Immortal [a spectral cultivator of immense power] will be dealt with by the Divine Spirits [deities of supreme power], then the remaining hundred or so Earth Immortals [immortals who have mastered the earthly realm] can be handled by the Imperial Lords [supreme rulers within a cultivator's inner world] residing within our Earth Immortal Worlds [inner worlds cultivated by Earth Immortals]."

"We eleven Earth Immortals have all opened Ninefold Heavens [the highest tier of inner heavens] or higher. We can dispatch at least a hundred Imperial Lords at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a realm just below full Earth Immortal]."

"With their strength, combined with the power of you nine Late-Stage Earth Immortals [Earth Immortals at the peak of their realm], and the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Grand Formation [a grand formation of pure yang and heavenly fire], it should be sufficient to deal with over a hundred Ghost Cultivators [cultivators who follow a spectral, yin-aligned path] of the Earth Immortal Realm."

Hearing this, Sky Abyss Daoist frowned slightly and said, "What about the remaining four True Spirits [manifestations of pure spiritual essence and power] and the Abyssal Sea Pearl [a supreme defensive treasure forged from the essence of the abyssal sea]? Are you two truly confident you can handle them?"

Eldrin Chen pondered briefly before replying, "The Abyssal Sea Pearl is a supreme defensive treasure; its offensive power is inferior even to a top-grade Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a treasure of legendary power capable of parting the heavens]. Lyra Jiang can use the Black Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a mighty cauldron artifact imbued with black dragon power] to hold it off for a time." "As for me, I will wield the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron [an ancient cauldron artifact of crimson dragon origin] to break their formation and contend with the four True Spirit Phantoms [phantasmal projections of True Spirits]. That should be manageable."

He continued, "Rest assured, within this Yin Plane Microcosm [a miniature universe dominated by yin energy], there are no Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasures with spatial attributes."

"With my mastery of the Spatial Law [the fundamental law governing space] and the Heaven-Fleeing Shuttle [a magical shuttle capable of incredible speed], even if the tide of battle turns against us, I am quite confident in my ability to fight our way out." His words brought a measure of calm to the group. This Yin Plane Microcosm represented a great opportunity. As long as an escape route remained, a calculated risk was acceptable.

Having reached this conclusion, Sky Abyss Daoist declared, "In that case, let us act."

"Then let us concentrate our force and breach a single point."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. Then, harnessing the power of the Spatial Law and the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a treasure capable of manipulating the void between yin and yang], he led the group deeper into the heart of the Stygian River Star System [a star system named for the mythical river of the underworld].

Unbeknownst to them, they had traversed the outer grand formation and arrived within one of the four Ancient True Spirit Domains—the Tengshe Ancient Domain.

Gazing at the dim ancient star before them, Eldrin Chen spoke: "Among the four ancient True Spirit [primordial spiritual beings of immense power] within this Minor Universe, the Kui Ox possesses boundless strength, the Dragon Turtle boasts peerless defense, and the Great Roc commands the ultimate speed under heaven. "Only the Tengshe [a mythical serpent demon], renowned for its insidious nature, can manipulate a person's Soul Spirits [the spiritual essence of one's being]. It is the most sinister and unpredictable existence among the four great True Spirit."

"Although what we face here is merely a projected phantom of the Tengshe, it remains a formidable foe. We must first breach this Ancient Domain before we can effectively confront the other three grand formations."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, their expressions turning grave.

Then, Ancient Ruins Yin Lord produced a somber Ancient Bell and addressed the Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality] and Divine Spirits [deified beings of great power] about to join the battle: "This bell is named the Soul-Suppressing Bell [a magical treasure that calms and protects the soul], a treasure I specifically borrowed. It possesses the wondrous ability to shield the Nascent Soul Immortal Embryo [the nascent spiritual core of an immortal]."

"Once the battle commences, you must remember not to stray beyond the range of the Soul-Suppressing Bell, lest you meet with misfortune."

The assembled Divine Spirits nodded in understanding. Seeing this, Eldrin Chen wasted no further words and led the group forward using the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void.

As they reached the periphery of the Tengshe Ancient Domain, they discovered that the Void Power [power related to spatial manipulation] around the Tengshe Ancient Star had congealed and stagnated. Clearly, a Spatial Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact that controls space] was sealing the Void [the spatial dimension or void].

With no other choice, Eldrin Chen halted outside the Tengshe Ancient Star and declared, "Begin the assault."

In that instant, a thunderous roar erupted from the Void. Thousands of Divine Spirits unleashed their power simultaneously, channeling countless Immortal Treasure [treasures wielded by immortals] and Divine Ability [supernatural powers of divine beings] in a devastating barrage aimed at the Tengshe Ancient Domain.

Simultaneously, the several Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has attained the Earth Immortal realm, a powerful existence] unleashed their World-Opening Power [a divine ability of immense destructive force capable of splitting worlds] in a horizontal assault. In the blink of an eye, the Tengshe Ancient Star was struck so fiercely it teetered on the verge of collapse.

"Hiss—"

The moment the Tengshe Ancient Star was attacked, its sentient consciousness immediately sensed it.

In that instant, an ethereal Tengshe [a mythical winged serpent demon beast] soared into the sky, its gaze filled with boundless Baleful Qi [a malevolent and destructive form of spiritual energy] locking onto Eldrin Chen.

"What formidable presence."

Eldrin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He instantly sensed that this Tengshe projection was unnaturally powerful.

He stepped forward and, with a casual lift of his hand, brought a palm strike crashing down, sending the soaring serpent flying backward. Yet, he faintly perceived a potent and bizarre energy attempting to corrode his Divine Soul [the highest form of a cultivator's spiritual essence and consciousness].

Eldrin Chen immediately activated his Indestructible Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit [a supreme Dao Fruit embodying the unyielding and primordial essence of chaos], dissolving this powerful, sinister force. He could not help but remark with surprise, "Merely a phantom projection, yet it possesses such potent Divine Soul-assaulting power."

"The true body of such an Ancient True Spirit Beasts [a primordial beast of immense power and spiritual nature] within the Yang Plane Microcosm [a minor world or dimension of pure Yang energy] must undoubtedly be far beyond the mere Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm]."

"Roar—"

Even as his thoughts flickered, the Tengshe [a mythical winged serpent] unleashed a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

With that sound, a soul-shaking Rule Power [a power derived from comprehending the fundamental laws of the cosmos] washed through the starry void. For a moment, the Divine Souls [the spiritual core of a deity] of the several thousand Divine Spirits [deities who have ascended beyond the Earth Immortal realm] present grew hazy and unfocused, plunging them all into a state of stunned stupor. Fortunately, at this critical juncture, the tolling of a bell rang out.

The Ancient Ruins Yin Lord activated the Soul-Suppressing Bell, its ancient chimes resonating to shield the Soul Spirits [the combined essence of soul and spirit] of the assembled forces.

Seeing everyone jolt back to awareness, the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord immediately spoke, "Act swiftly!"

As his words fell, the group began to attack relentlessly, aiming to shatter the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [a powerful defensive array that draws upon the power of mountains] protecting the Tengshe Ancient Star as quickly as possible. Yet, at that very moment, the Earth Immortal [cultivators who have achieved immortality tied to the earthly realm] experts from the Yin Plane Microcosm [a pocket dimension aligned with Yin, the passive, dark, and feminine principle] had already reacted.

The fabric of space within this Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws] was not as sturdy as that of a true Immortal Domain. Even Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality] could tear through the void here. As ripples of Void [the concept of emptiness and spatial manipulation] power surged, one Netherworld Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal aligned with the underworld] and Ghost Immortal [immortals who ascended via the ghostly path] after another charged forth. Nearly a hundred Earth Immortal Ghost Progenitor [powerful ghostly Earth Immortals] tore through the void to arrive. The Kui Ox [a legendary one-legged ox demon], the Great Roc [a mythical giant bird of prey], and the Dragon Turtle [a hybrid beast with the shell of a turtle and the head of a dragon] also surged forward immediately, seeking to join the Tengshe and form the Four Spirit Ancient Formation [an ancient array harnessing the power of four mythical beasts].

From the distant heights above, the Abyssal Sea Pearl descended with boundless, crushing might.

"Kill!"

In that instant, the battle erupted.

Lyra Jiang channeled her power into the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron, meeting the boundless, oppressive force of the Abyssal Sea Pearl head-on.

The Earth Immortal Progenitor [powerful cultivators who have attained the Earth Immortal realm] and over one hundred Imperial Lord [a title for powerful cultivators] also engaged in a great confrontation with the Netherworld Ghost Immortal [immortals who have cultivated through ghostly or netherworldly paths].

"Boom!"

High above in the Firmament [the highest heavens], Eldrin Chen stood alone against four True Spirit [powerful spiritual entities]. He suppressed the Kui Ox [a mythical one-legged ox demon] with the Earth-Fortress Sovereign Bell [a mighty bell-shaped treasure], while his Heavenly Separated Twin Swords [a pair of legendary swords] clashed with the Great Roc [a gigantic mythical bird of prey] and the Dragon Turtle [a powerful hybrid beast].

Furthermore, he used his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique forged from primordial chaos] to restrain the Tengshe [a mythical flying serpent], preventing the four spiritual beasts from combining into the Four Spirit Grand Formation [a powerful formation requiring four specific spiritual beasts].

After more than thirty exchanges within this grand formation, Eldrin Chen surveyed the battlefield. He realized Lyra Jiang's Mana [the spiritual energy used to power techniques and treasures] was ultimately slightly insufficient, and her Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron [an ancient cauldron treasure] was no match for the Abyssal Sea Pearl [a powerful pearl treasure]. She was now at a disadvantage.

In the more distant Void [the empty space between realms], a great number of Ghost Immortal [immortals of the ghostly path] were continuously tearing through the Void to arrive.

"We cannot be drawn into a protracted battle,"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, finally resolving to shatter the formation completely.

He activated his Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand [a divine ability to grasp and control with primordial chaos energy] to pin down the Tengshe, then summoned a dazzlingly brilliant Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron [an ancient cauldron treasure]. With a swift motion, he ensnared the Tengshe within the ancient cauldron. "No!"

Witnessing this, a Ghost Progenitor [a progenitor-level ghost cultivator] at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] was startled. He immediately unleashed a ghostly talisman, manifesting a Netherworld Black Dragon [a black dragon from the netherworld] to suppress Eldrin Chen.

This shadowy Black Dragon [a powerful draconic entity] possessed an aura comparable to a Late Stage Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has reached the advanced stage of the Earth Immortal realm], and its combat prowess seemed to rival even that of a Ghost Progenitor [a supreme being among spectral entities] who had attained Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal realm]. Clearly, it was one of the trump cards of this Yin Plane Microcosm [a small, self-contained world suffused with Yin energy].

"A Primordial Nether Dragon?"

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned forth the Great Annihilation Heavenly Dragon Talisman [a powerful talisman embodying the destructive power of a celestial dragon].

In a Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time], a blazing fire-dragon surged into being, intercepting the path of that Primordial Nether Dragon [an ancient dragon born from the primordial energies of the Netherworld]. Continue your cultivation journey at site: audio-novel.com.
