Chapter 1447 : A Treacherous Alliance Forged

The Eighth Rank High-Grade Spatial Supreme Treasure [a supreme artifact of unparalleled spatial power] held immense value. While it might not quite rival a World-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure capable of cleaving open a new world], its worth far exceeded that of an ordinary High-Grade World-Opening Treasure [a high-grade treasure used for world creation] 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, Violet Mystery Path Master hesitated.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke immediately: "Time is of the essence. With Lunar Crow Patriarch lurking, we could be surrounded by the Lunar Crow [a demonic avian species associated with lunar energy] horde again at any moment."

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

Hearing this, Violet Mystery Patriarch fell into silent contemplation.

He glanced into the depths of the void and pondered aloud: "That Lunar Crow Old Freak cost me a top-grade World-Opening Ancient Ship [an ancient vessel artifact used for traversing and opening new realms]. This enmity is irreconcilable; only his death can quell the hatred in my heart."

"Even if I do not seek to kill him, as one with the potential to reach the Celestial Immortal Realm [the realm of a true celestial immortal], I would be his primary target for encirclement and slaughter."

"A fair duel would be one thing, but this person is treacherous and cunning. He hides in the shadows, refusing to engage directly, instead using endless swarms of Lunar Crow Fire Crow [a fiery variant of the Lunar Crow demon beast] to besiege me. It is utterly despicable and venomous."

As these thoughts flickered through his mind, Violet Mystery Patriarch finally resolved himself: "Though this is our first meeting, I perceive in your bearing the demeanor of one from our righteous path." This content originates from audi0-n0vel.c0m. Please respect copyright.

"Today, this old man will take a risk and trust you, Fellow Daoist. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen could not help but smile and say, "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. You will not be disappointed."

As he spoke, Eldrin Chen used the Void Space Rule [a profound law governing the fabric of space] as a veil, quietly drawing the Spatial Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade artifact that manipulates space] belonging to Violet Mystery Patriarch into his Elixir Field [the core energy center within a cultivator's body] to refine it.

This treasure of Violet Mystery Patriarch was named the 'Realm-Sky Pot' [a pot that contains a miniature world within]. It was a Spatial Spiritual Treasure [a high-level artifact with spatial properties] of the Eighth Rank High-Grade [a classification denoting extremely high power and rarity], containing within it a Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power] capable of sealing the very fabric of heaven and earth.

With Violet Mystery Patriarch 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 magical inscriptions], it was sufficient to activate the treasure's power.

Seeing this was done, Eldrin Chen immediately stored the treasure away and flew with the others towards the distant void.

Yet, after flying for a long while, the Lunar Crow Patriarch still had not appeared, causing a thread of anxiety to weave through the group.

Violet Mystery Patriarch frowned slightly, unable to resist asking, "Could it be that Lunar Crow Patriarch is afraid and dares not block our path?"

"I doubt it,"

Eldrin Chen spoke up, then gazed into the depths of the void. There, beyond the endless expanse of heaven and earth, an uncountable swarm of Lunar Crow Fire Crow [demonic crows wreathed in dark, cold flames] blotted out the sky as they surged forward.

In the distant void, vast swarms of Lunar Crow Fire Crow [a type of demonic crow that wields both lunar and fire energies] converged from all directions, threatening to engulf the entire expanse of heaven and earth.

"These demonic crows…"

A Patriarch of the Eighth Level Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has reached the eighth stage of the Earth Immortal realm] swallowed hard, his face turning slightly pale. The number of Lunar Crow [demonic crows associated with lunar power] was far beyond mere hundreds of thousands.

Violet Mystery Path Master and the other Earth Immortal Great Perfection [cultivators at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm] also wore grave expressions. The solemnity in their eyes betrayed a lack of the calm they outwardly projected.

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

As the endless tide of demonic crows surged to surround them, Eldrin Chen spoke decisively and was the first to shoot forward.

The others followed swiftly, aiming to escape through the gap in the encirclement before it closed.

With the flight speed of these Earth Immortal [powerful immortal cultivators], they would undoubtedly have escaped the closing ring of crows had there been no interference.

Just as they were about to slip past the encirclement, billions of dark crow-shaped sword energies erupted from the void, slashing madly towards the assembled Earth Immortal Patriarch [venerable leaders of the Earth Immortal realm] in an attempt 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 instantly summoned the Realm-Sky Pot, which manifested a vast void realm to seal off this expanse of space.

In a flash, an area spanning millions of Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] was enveloped, forcing a figure piloting a treasure shuttle into the open.

"Trouble!"

The heart of Lunar Crow Patriarch [a powerful demonic cultivator associated with lunar and crow energies] sank. He immediately tried to activate the Heaven-Piercing Shuttle [a supreme escape technique] to flee, only to find he could not tear through the solidified void. The complete novel can be found at audio-novel .c om.

And in that same moment, the other Earth Immortal Patriarch [a cultivator who has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm, a major power] who had been lying in wait sprang into action.

Violet Mystery Path Master was the first to strike. He instantly channeled a blinding arc of lightning—the legendary Violet Heaven Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique of devastating purity].

In a Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time from Buddhist cosmology, less than a second], the blast sent Lunar Crow Patriarch hurtling backwards, utterly destroying a top-grade World-Opening [the realm of a cultivator capable of creating minor worlds] Demonic Treasure [a powerful artifact forged and used by demonic cultivators] with its overwhelming force.

Before Lunar Crow Patriarch could even regain his bearings, Breaker the True Lord made his move. Soaring into the air, he thrust forward with a mighty war spear in hand.

The Lunar Crow Patriarch sought to evade, but suddenly heard a series of melodious chimes. A wave of mental disorientation washed over him, making it difficult to control his magical power. By the time he regained his senses, it was already too late.

Seizing the opportunity, Breaker the True Lord drove his spear through the Lunar Crow Patriarch's physical body, inflicting a grievous, crippling wound.

"Agh!"

The Lunar Crow Patriarch let out a wretched scream, only then realizing the Beautiful Female Immortal had activated a small, delicate bell that had ensnared his soul for a fleeting moment.

That small bell was named the Nine Nether Abyssal Soul-Snatching Bell [a bell that can pull a cultivator's soul from their body], an exceptionally unique High-Grade World-Opening Treasure [a top-tier magical artifact forged by a World-Opening realm expert] specifically designed to counter a cultivator's Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, housing their consciousness and power]. 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 it if they were not careful.

Now gravely wounded, the Lunar Crow Patriarch was seized by terror. Abandoning any thought of further ambush, he instantly discarded his physical form and fled for his life using his Primordial Spirit housed within a Demonic Embryo [a sinister vessel used to protect and nourish a demonic cultivator's spirit].

Yet, with several dozen Earth Immortal Patriarch [Earth Immortal realm patriarchs] present before him, how could they possibly allow his escape?

In the blink of an eye, the several dozen Earth Immortal [Earth Immortal realm cultivators] acted in unison, completely sealing off all his avenues of retreat.

The Lunar Crow Patriarch, in a final desperate struggle, tried to activate several of his World-Opening [World-Opening realm] grade Demonic Treasure [demonic artifacts] to blast through the encirclement. However, Eldrin Chen and Exquisite Jiang used their Five-Colored Divine Light [a divine ability that can seize and nullify magical treasures] to seize two of the World-OpeningDemonic Treasure.

Although the remaining treasures were Extraordinary, the Violet Mystery Path Master was even more so. As a thunder cultivator who also specialized in countering Demonic Cultivator [cultivators who use demonic and unorthodox methods], the threat posed by the Violet Mystery Path Master to Demonic Cultivator far exceeded that of an ordinary Earth Immortal Great Perfection.

Over these years, he had repeatedly ventured into the Nether Abyss Purgatory Sea [a vast and perilous sea of purgatorial flames within the Nether Abyss]. The Violet Mystery Path Master even possessed a battle record of single-handedly defeating a siege by five Demonic Cultivator [cultivators who draw power from demonic or malevolent sources] at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm].

Now, deprived of the Heaven-Piercing Shuttle [a divine ability or artifact capable of piercing through the heavens], the Lunar Crow Patriarch stood no chance against the Violet Mystery Path Master relying solely on his own power.

Enraged and filled with hatred, the Violet Mystery Path Master unleashed a relentless assault. Within the span of three moves, he shattered three of the Lunar Crow Patriarch's Demonic Treasure [treasures imbued with demonic power]. Finally, he activated the 'Violet Mystery Demon-Slaying Sword' and utterly annihilated the Lunar Crow Patriarch.

"Finally slain."

With the death of the Lunar Crow Patriarch, everyone present let out a deep sigh of relief.

This Lunar Crow Patriarch, relying on the Heaven-Piercing Shuttle and some underhanded method, had nearly caused the humiliating demise of dozens of Earth Immortal Patriarch. His tactics were utterly despicable.

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

After swiftly collecting the fallen patriarch's treasures, Eldrin Chen retrieved the Realm-Sky Pot [a magical vessel capable of containing realms]. It was then he realized they were completely surrounded by a vast swarm of Lunar Crow Fire Crow [demonic crows wreathed in lunar fire].

Fortunately, they had come prepared. The Violet Mystery Path Master summoned a spatial-tearing treasure, instantly ripping through the void and carrying the entire group away to safety. Published by audio-novel . com. All rights reserved.
