Chapter 1484 : The Abyssal Sea Assault

After the trio departed, they returned from the depths of the Yin Plane Microcosm after merely two millennia.

Each possessing combat power at the Late Stage Earth Immortal level and carrying only thirty thousand pieces of Incense Fire Celestial Silver [a special celestial currency], they encountered no significant trouble. Their return brought eighty-three vials of the Galaxy Star-Sand Pill [a pill that replenishes cosmic essence], which greatly alleviated the pressure on everyone.

Eldrin Chen distributed seventy-two of these vials and then spoke, "The coming assault on the Abyssal Sea Abode of Bliss will be our most arduous battle yet."

"First, restore your strength. We shall not engage again until your Heaven and Earth Origin [the foundational cosmic energy within a cultivator] is fully recovered."

Heeding his words, everyone began refining the Galaxy Star-Sand Pill, continuously restoring their Heaven and Earth Origin.

Thus, time flowed on. After three millennia had passed, the group had recovered most of their depleted Heaven and Earth Origin, allowing Eldrin Chen to finally breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Only when everyone had emerged from seclusion did Eldrin Chen turn his gaze towards the location of the Abyssal Sea Abode of Bliss. After a moment of contemplation, he said,

"This Abyssal Sea Abode of Bliss is a Peerless-grade Blessed Land [a land imbued with immense natural spiritual fortune]. Although its power has grown unstable due to the destructive influence of the Heavenly Dao [the Celestial Way, the fundamental order of the cosmos],"

"harnessing it to activate the Abyssal Sea Pearl will likely still make it a formidable foe to overcome."

Qiyuan Chen pondered briefly before speaking, "Regardless, we must try first." "Then let us begin," came the reply. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio—novel.com.

Eldrin Chen gave a solemn nod. At his command, thousands of Divine Spirits [powerful beings who have ascended beyond the Nascent Soul realm] unleashed their attacks in unison.

The sheer power unleashed by so many Divine Spirits was staggering, far surpassing—by many times over—the force Thousand Dragons Lake had mustered when they assaulted the Abyssal Sea Region.

Yet, this overwhelming assault crashed against the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [a powerful defensive array] without causing it any significant strain. "What formidable power the Abyssal Sea Pearl [a legendary defensive treasure from the Netherworld] possesses," someone remarked.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen felt a subtle tremor in the center of his brow.

The Abyssal Sea Pearl was a defensive Netherworld Supreme Treasure [a top-tier treasure of the underworld realms]; its offensive capabilities were virtually nonexistent. Previously, when the formation drove it to attack, it relied almost entirely on brute force, yet it had forced Lyra Jiang to exert her full power to defend with the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron [an ancient cauldron artifact].

Now, with its full defensive might finally unveiled, this ancient treasure revealed its true strength—it was capable of withstanding attacks on the level of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a being on the cusp of true immortality].

Seeing this stalemate, Sky Abyss Daoist could not help but ask, "Can we not use a Spatial Spiritual Treasure [a treasure that manipulates space] to infiltrate their defenses and attack from within?"

Eldrin Chen shook his head. "Within the Abyssal Sea Abode of Bliss [a blessed realm within the Abyssal Sea], there is an Eighth Rank High Grade [a very high grade of power] Celestial God [a divine being] stone acting as a keystone. Empowered by the Formation, it has sealed the surrounding Void [the fabric of space itself]," he explained.

"Without a top-tier Spatial Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade treasure for spatial manipulation] of Eighth Rank Supreme Grade [the highest possible grade], it is impossible for us to infiltrate." Faced with this reality, a frown of concern touched everyone's brows.

After a moment of contemplation, the Sky Abyss Daoist could only declare, "If that is the case, then a direct, forceful assault is our only remaining path."

Once the decision to launch a forceful assault was made, everyone immediately unleashed their full power, channeling the might of the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Grand Formation to release boundless Pure Yang Celestial Flame to incinerate the Abyssal Sea Abode of Bliss.

Lyra Jiang and Eldrin Chen exerted themselves even more fully, summoning forth the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron and the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron to crash down with world-shaking force.

Struck by such a blow, the Abyssal Sea Abode of Bliss finally began to sway and tremble, giving the distinct impression it was on the verge of shattering. "It's still not enough."

Seeing that their power was still somewhat insufficient, Eldrin Chen ordered three World-Ending Cannon to be brought forward.

Each World-Ending Cannon was as massive as a star, its blast comparable to a full-power strike from an Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivator. Their relentless bombardment became the final straw that broke the Abyssal Sea Abode of Bliss.

No one knew how long the battle raged, but with one final, deafening explosion, the Abyssal Sea Abode of Bliss was finally blasted open by sheer force. "The grand formation is broken!"

Witnessing the grand formation's breach, the assembled Divine Spirits erupted in wild elation.

Yet Eldrin Chen sensed something amiss. He looked at the others and spoke with hesitation, "The Abyssal Sea Pearl draws power from a PeerlessBlessed Land [a realm of exceptional spiritual richness and stability]. In theory, its energy should be nearly limitless."

"Even if this PeerlessBlessed Land is somewhat lacking in power, it shouldn't have been breached so quickly," Lyra Jiang murmured, her voice tinged with doubt. "Are you suggesting...?"

"It seems," Eldrin Chen said slowly, his expression turning grave, "that the greater part of this Blessed Land's power was being siphoned away by something else."

"Hmm..."

It seemed to confirm his thoughts. With a world-shaking Dragon's Roar, a primordial Black Dragon coiled upwards from the heart of the Abyssal Sea Abode of Bliss, its body stretching for countless millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters].

Its scales were vaster than stars, its sinuous draconic form entwined around the central black hole of the Stygian River Star System, around which billions of stars seemed to orbit.

"A Primordial Nether Dragon."

Ancient Ruins Yin Lord spoke slowly, his voice tinged with dryness. "A Primordial Nether Dragon that has cultivated the Supreme Unity Immortal Physique. It has long since stepped into the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm."

"Insects." Read the full novel exclusively on audio‑novel.com.

"Was it you who disturbed my slumber?"

At that moment, the Primordial Nether Dragon spoke, the abyssal light gleaming in its pupils casting an aura of dread across the entire Yin Plane Microcosm.

In that instant, everyone understood the origin of this Primordial Nether Dragon.

Revered as the Nether Dragon Great Emperor, it was a Progenitor True Dragon born at the dawn of this universe's creation, a being formed from the Netherworld Origin [the primordial source of Yin and Netherworld energies] of this Yin Plane Microcosm. It was one of the most ancient existences in the cosmos.

It had lived for countless millions of years, from the dawn of antiquity to the present day. Even when the Heavenly Dao [the supreme natural order and law of the cosmos] of the Yin Plane Microcosm [a primordial minor world of Yin energy] collapsed, it had not claimed its life.

"This method has existed since the universe's inception, the Primordial True Dragon [a legendary dragon of the most ancient and purest lineage]."

Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, his eyes blazing like torches as he gazed at the Primordial Nether Dragon [an ancient dragon born from the primordial Nether forces] and said, "Your power appears at its zenith, yet the true radiance of your aura is hollow and unsteady."

"If my guess is correct, after the Heavenly Dao of the Yin Plane Microcosm collapsed, you were already severely wounded." "Your seclusion within the Abyssal Sea Abode of Bliss [a blessed land of cultivation located in a profound sea] was merely to recover from your injuries."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts steadied. They all looked towards the Primordial Nether Dragon, and couldn't help but reveal a flicker of hope and excitement.

If this were a Primordial Nether Dragon at the peak of its power, today they would likely be forced to retreat at best, suffering grievous losses. A slightly worse outcome could see their complete annihilation.

But if it was a severely wounded Primordial Nether Dragon, they at least stood a fighting chance. "ROAR!"

Having its weakness exposed, the Primordial Nether Dragon's pupils emitted a frigid, icy light.

It stared fixedly at Eldrin Chen, then spoke with icy detachment, "Ant, wielder of an Imperial Armament [a weapon of sovereign-grade power], you indeed possess something Valerius [a quality of the peerless hero Valerius]." "Yet you are but at the Great Sage realm. Do you believe that wielding a single Imperial Armament allows you to defy the heavens and slay an Emperor?"

"Today, I shall let you witness what it truly means to be at the Great Emperor realm!"

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar that shook the great cosmos, the Primordial Nether Dragon [a primordial beast of immense power and darkness] swept across the heavens and earth. Its tail coiled, hurling a vast expanse of silver Ronan stars in a devastating strike.

"Incredible power!"

Eldrin Chen channeled his full power into the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron [an ancient, powerful defensive artifact] to withstand the assault. Yet, even with the cauldron's formidable protection, he found it nearly impossible to resist the Primordial Nether Dragon's might. The impact sent him hurtling violently through the void.

Fortunately, aided by the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron, Eldrin Chen managed to block the blow. Though battered, he escaped without suffering any grievous, crippling wounds. Join our community of readers at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.
