Chapter 1509 : The Voidwalker's Arrival

The individual who arrived from the Ethereal Void Grotto-Heaven this time was its Grand Elder, Voidwalker Dong [Daoist Dong, the Voidwalker], whose cultivation had reached the lofty heights of the Late Heaven Immortal Realm [the advanced stage of the Heaven Immortal realm].

Such power placed him among the top one hundred supreme existences within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, causing the assembled Heavenly Immortal Paragon [Heaven Immortal powerhouses] present to not dare show the slightest negligence.

After all, those capable of stepping into the Late Heaven Immortal Realm were considered pinnacle figures even among Heaven Immortal [Heaven Immortals].

Within Grotto-Heaven [Paradisiacal Realms] such as Western Qi and Divine Abyss, although each possessed multiple Heavenly Immortal Paragon, they each typically had only one figure at the Late Heaven Immortal Realm.

Among the more than two hundred Grotto-Heaven within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, merely over sixty possessed a Late Heaven Immortal Realm Great Power presiding over them. This illustrated just how formidable the power of the present Voidwalker Dong truly was.

More importantly, the Ethereal Void Grotto-Heaven, with its lineage of sixteen Heaven Immortal, ranked among the Ten Great Grotto-Heaven of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain.

Furthermore, the master of the Ethereal Void Grotto-Heaven, Ancestor Ethereal Void [Ancestor Ethereal Void], had cultivated his power to the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the Great Perfection stage of the Celestial Immortal realm], ranking him among the Ten Supreme Powerhouses of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain. His status was second only to those few transcendent ancient Immortal [Immortal] artifacts.

Therefore, witnessing the personal arrival of Voidwalker Dong, these Heavenly Immortal Paragon treated the matter with utmost gravity.

Seeing this, the Great Power from the White Tiger Clan could not help but sneer coldly, "Voidwalker Dong, your Ethereal Void Grotto-Heaven lies far within the Eastern Celestial Domain. I never imagined you would make this journey today."

Upon the Immortal Sword, a man clad in Daoist robes opened his eyes and spoke with detached calm, "I heard this Minor Universe [a small, self-contained cosmos] was on the verge of collapse, so I brought my junior disciples here for a trial by experience. There is no need for surprise, honored guests." Immerse yourself in the complete world at *audio-novel.com*.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the several Heavenly Immortal Paragon [the pinnacle realm of immortal cultivation] turned their gazes towards the figure standing behind Ancestor Voidwalker.

They saw a man of peerless grace, his White Robe [a white robe] pure as snow, his bearing as refined as jade. He stood serenely upon his Immortal Sword [a sword of immortal grade], his expression calm and composed.

With but a single glance, the great power from the True Dragon Grotto-Heaven [a sacred realm of the dragon race] sneered coldly, "So this is the Ethereal Void Grotto-Heaven Holy Son? I have heard he opened twelve heavenly layers upon his breakthrough, hailed as the foremost Heaven's Chosen [a prodigy blessed by heaven] among the Human Race in the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [a vast realm of immortal cultivation] for millions of years."

"You dare let him step into the Minor Universe [a pocket dimension or trial realm]? Are you not afraid he will be strangled in his cradle?" "Hmph."

Ancestor Voidwalker let out a cold laugh and declared, "Who will be the hunter and who the prey within that Minor Universe remains to be seen."

"Rather than worrying over my sect's Holy Son, you should concern yourself with whether your Dragon Race [the race of dragons] Heaven's Chosen can withstand the Ethereal Void Sword Art [a supreme sword technique of the Ethereal Void lineage]." Upon hearing this, the brows of the several Heavenly Immortal Paragon furrowed slightly with a chill.

The Ethereal Void Grotto-Heaven [the Ethereal Void sacred realm] was the premier sword sect of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, and its ultimate technique, the Ethereal Void Sword Art, ranked first among the Ten Great Sword Arts of the domain. It was a supreme, Mysterious Profound-grade special Divine Ability [a supernatural power or technique], its killing power sufficient to sweep across the eight directions.

If the Ethereal Void Holy Son had truly mastered it, it would not be impossible for him, even at the Earth Immortal [an immortal realm tied to the earthly plane] realm, to challenge and slay a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [an immortal who has nearly ascended to the celestial realm]. With this thought, the True Dragon Grotto-Heaven Ancient Ancestor fell silent.

However, from among the White Tiger Clan [the clan of the white tiger divine beast] and the True Dragon Clan [the clan of true dragons], several existences at the level of Divine Son [a prodigious scion of a divine lineage] or Holy Son revealed a fierce killing intent in their eyes, their hearts clearly unconvinced and unyielding.

However, as they had not yet stepped into the Minor Universe [a self-contained, smaller dimensional realm within the greater cosmos], they suppressed the killing intent in their hearts for the moment and refrained from saying anything more. Seeing this, Eldrin Chen did not linger either. With a final glance at the Ethereal Void Holy Son, he vanished into the boundless expanse of heaven and earth.

Shortly after Eldrin Chen departed, the Ethereal Void Holy Son's brow furrowed slightly. He looked in the direction Eldrin Chen had vanished, as if sensing something. Noticing this, Voidwalker Dong could not help but inquire, "What is it?"

"It is nothing."

The Ethereal Void Holy Son shook his head, focusing instead on the subtle changes within his sea of consciousness [the spiritual realm of the mind where thoughts and memories reside].

There, within the depths of his mind, an ancient and unadorned scripture slowly revolved. Beside this ancient tome, an Immortal Sword [a divine blade of immense power, often wielded by immortal beings] hovered, its aura of slaughter and conquest capable of shaking both past and present.

"So it truly is you."

The Ethereal Void Holy Son murmured inwardly. Meeting an old acquaintance after several hundred thousand years should have been a moment of recognition, yet his current circumstances were peculiar, making it unwise to acknowledge the connection openly.

With this thought, he slowly lowered his gaze, ultimately choosing to remain silent.

Eldrin Chen traversed the Void [the empty space between dimensions, a technique for instantaneous travel] and quietly returned to the Yin Plane Microcosm [a pocket dimension aligned with the Yin, or shadowy, aspect of cosmic energy].

Upon arriving at the Yin Plane Microcosm, everyone quickly gathered around him. Zixuan the Daoist could not contain his curiosity and asked, "How did it go?" "Quite a few came this time,"

Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, his expression grave as he said,

As his tale unfolded, the assembled group gradually grasped the scale of the situation this time.

With the opening of the Yin Plane Microcosm [a small, self-contained realm aligned with Yin energy], the number of participants at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm [a realm just shy of true immortality] was close to fifty. The majority were Taiyi Realm [the foundational realm for true immortals] cultivators with a single Dao Fruit [the condensed essence of one's cultivation path], yet there were also over a dozen who possessed Dual Dao Fruits [the rare achievement of condensing two paths into one's foundation].

Most of these individuals were direct descendants of major Grotto-Heaven [a transcendent realm or paradise]. Among them, the Demonic Tribe [a powerful race of demonic beings] claimed three: the current Dragon Crown Prince of the True Dragon Grotto-Heaven, the contemporary Phoenix Maiden of the Immortal Phoenix Grotto-Heaven, Yuezhuo the Phoenix Maiden [a title for a specific, illustrious phoenix maiden], and Ancestor Western Geng from the White Tiger Lineage.

The Human Race also had three representatives: the Great White Celestial Maiden from the Great White Grotto-Heaven, the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven Holy Son, and the Buddha's Child from the Great Desert Celestial Sands Domain.

Likewise, the Divine Race [a race of celestial beings] held three spots: a Divine Son from the Golden Radiance Grotto-Heaven, another Divine Son from the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven, and the Kunji the Divine Son from the Kunxuan Grotto-Heaven. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio-novel . com.

Six others came from less prominent backgrounds, similar to the former Divine Lord Ye Ruins and the Dragon King of the Western Abyss, yet they too possessed the formidable Dual Taiyi Foundation [a foundation built upon two perfected Taiyi paths].

The final participant was the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor, ranked second on the Heaven-Opening Ranking [a prestigious ranking of power] among Ancient Earth Immortal [venerable immortals anchored to the mortal world] within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain. His combat prowess surpassed even those with Dual Taiyi Dao Fruit, placing him in a league of his own.

After hearing this, the group fell into a contemplative silence, their expressions thoughtful.

Zixuan the Daoist's face was etched with deep concern as he finally spoke, "Among the Hundred Clans of Immortal Spirits [a collective term for myriad immortal races], only the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor has come. It seems this time will once again be a chaotic melee between our Human Race and the Demon and God Races."

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly in agreement.

As the three most transcendent superpowers within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, whether it be the Human Race, the Demonic Tribe, or the Divine Race, they are constantly vying against one another.

However, when facing members of the Hundred Spirit Immortal Races [a collective term for numerous minor immortal races and clans], these three major powers often unite first to clear the battlefield, lest the Hundred Spirit Immortal Races seize the advantage in the end.

Over time, with this pattern, whenever such a Minor Universe appears, it is rare for a Heavenly Immortal Paragon from the Hundred Spirit Immortal Races to enter. Precisely because of this, the Hundred Spirit Immortal Races of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain mostly gather together for mutual support within the Hundred Spirits Celestial Domain.

Thinking of this, Ancient Ruins Yin Lord also pondered and said, "The Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor will not act against us. Within this Minor Universe, what we must guard against are the Divine and Demonic Races [the collective term for the Divine Race and the Demonic Tribe]."

"The Demonic Tribe and the Divine Race are not weak, especially those Divine Son and Imperial Son from the various Grotto-Heaven. Any one of them would be a troublesome foe for us."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly once more.

An existence with a Dual Taiyi Foundation possesses combat power sufficient to rival two or three Half-Step Celestial Immortal cultivators with only a single Primordial Foundation.

Both Divine Lord Glaze and Zixuan the Daoist have opened the Eighth Heaven, but even if they join forces, they would likely only be able to contend with a single Imperial Son, and might even be at a disadvantage.

This is because such Grotto-Heaven Holy Sons, while unlikely to possess an Innate Treasure, most probably have a Taiyi Rare Treasure as their trump card. Access the full story on audio - novel . com.
