Chapter 1531 : Ancestral Wrath and Celestial Clash

The Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor [a primordial being embodying countless spirits] still wished to aid her in tearing through the Void [the fabric of space itself], but how could the likes of Phoenix Maiden [a powerful cultivator with phoenix lineage] and the others allow him to succeed? They immediately activated their various Grand Unity Immortal Treasure [supreme immortal-grade artifacts] to suppress him.

Ancestor Western Geng [an ancient patriarch from the west] even unleashed the Primordial Unity Ancient Talisman [a primordial talisman of unified power], forcing the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor to focus on defense. "Troublesome."

Seeing the Life Empress [the sovereign ruler embodying the essence of life] in peril, a flicker of coldness passed between the brows of the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor, and for the first time, a trace of killing intent surfaced on his perpetually serene face. Yet, just as he was about to unleash his thunderous wrath, he reined that intent back in an instant.

A peculiar glint flashed in his eyes. Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, he channeled the Myriad Laws Wondrous Tree [a magical treasure shaped like a tree, embodying countless natural laws] to strike. The Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural technique] of Ten Thousand Laws erupted once more at full force, an endless tide of Great Divine Ability [a supreme-level supernatural power] drowning everything.

The Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor possessed Mana [spiritual energy used for cultivation and magic] of profound and boundless depth. Beneath the Celestial Immortal Realm [the realm of true celestial immortals], he was hailed as the foremost in Mana profundity within the entire Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [the vast immortal realm where the story is set].

With such immeasurably profound Mana, further amplified by the Myriad Spirits Purifying Vase [a vase-shaped treasure that purifies and empowers spiritual energy] to enhance the might of his Divine Ability, a single strike nearly tore through billions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] of the vast starry void, pressing down upon over a dozen Demonic Tribe [a powerful race of demons] Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivators at the peak below the true Celestial Immortal realm] until they could scarcely breathe.

"Now!"

And in that very instant, Eldrin Chen seized the opportunity.

With a flick of his sleeve, he activated the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a treasure capable of manipulating the void through the principles of Yin and Yang] to rend the sealed Void. Then, in another sweeping motion, he unleashed the Five Elements Annihilation Divine Ability [a divine ability harnessing the destructive power of the five fundamental elements] in a cleaving strike aimed directly at Bixie the Great Emperor [a Great Emperor of the mythical Bixie creature].

Divine Lord Glaze [a divine lord associated with glazed artifacts] and Zixuan the Daoist [a powerful Daoist cultivator] also sprang into action. With sweeping gestures, they launched one devastating attack after another, each aimed at the nearest Half-Step Celestial Immortal. Enjoyed this chapter? Read more at audio-novel .c om.

That Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of ascending to true immortality] was a divine beast of the Ancient Era [a primordial epoch of the world], the "Dang Kang" [a mythical beast of auspicious omen], who had taken human form and cultivated an immensely powerful Supreme Unity Immortal Physique [a legendary body refinement art that unifies all energies into one]. Yet, even he suffered a grievous setback when suddenly ambushed by three other Half-Step Celestial Immortal.

The assault was too sudden. "Dang Kang the Ancient Ancestor" [the venerable progenitor of the Dang Kang lineage] had no time to react. In an instant, a blow pierced through his brow, shattering his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and seat of consciousness for a high-level cultivator]. Seeing the roadblock eliminated, the Life Empress seized the moment, darting forward to reunite with the others.

"Let's go."

High upon the Firmament [the highest layer of the sky, bordering the void], the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor witnessed this and immediately called out in a loud voice.

Eldrin Chen gave a curt nod. With a wave of his hand, he collected the remains of Dang Kang the Ancient Ancestor, then instantly activated the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a supreme treasure capable of manipulating the boundaries of reality] to tear through the Void [the formless emptiness between dimensions] and depart.

As they fled, the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor brandished the Myriad Laws Wondrous Tree [a divine tree that embodies and commands countless natural laws]. With a single sweep, a myriad of Divine Ability [supreme techniques born from comprehending a Great Dao] surged forth like a tidal wave, blocking the pursuit of their foes. Then, with effortless grace, he soared into the heavens and vanished.

"Hahaha! This ancestor takes his leave!"

After the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor departed, only his hearty, triumphant laughter lingered in the air.

Watching them escape so effortlessly, the top-tier powerhouses of the Demonic Tribe [a major faction of powerful demonic cultivators and beings] all wore expressions of deep displeasure. "We underestimated the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor," one of them muttered, voice thick with frustration.

The Yuè Zhuó Phoenix Maiden [a noble phoenix-blooded cultivator] spoke slowly, her face etched with grave solemnity. "He lives up to his ranking as second on the Heaven-Opening Ranking [a celestial ledger that ranks the most powerful beings below the Heavenly Immortal realm]. His combat prowess now approaches that of a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a peerless expert among true Heavenly Immortals]." "Indeed," the True Dragon Crown Prince nodded in agreement, though a thread of unwillingness colored his tone. "His direct killing techniques may not be the absolute pinnacle, but his abilities for mass combat and area control are truly... Valerius."

"Had it not been for the Myriad Laws Wondrous Tree [a legendary treasure capable of manifesting countless profound laws and techniques] manifesting its myriad wondrous techniques, and had we faced a different existence at the third Primordial Foundation [the foundational stage of primordial cultivation, representing immense power], it might not have been able to hold back so many of us Half-Step Celestial Immortals [cultivators who have ascended to the threshold of true immortality]."

Ancestor Western Geng [a venerable and powerful ancient ancestor] let out a cold snort and spoke, "Other third Primordial Foundation existences, while their group combat abilities may be inferior, possess killing power far surpassing that of Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor [an ancient progenitor whose power stems from harmonizing with countless spirits]."

"Had we faced Blackcloud Demon Monarch [a demonic sovereign of immense and terrifying power] or that other one again today, we might have been able to slay the Life Emperor [a sovereign whose authority is tied to the very essence of life], but the price we paid would have been devastating." Upon hearing this, the group could not help but reveal expressions of solemn gravity.

The Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor's Mana [the refined spiritual energy used to power techniques] is profound and vast, yet lacks a domineering, razor-sharp edge. While the Myriad Laws Wondrous Tree possesses the Supreme Mysterious Profound [a supreme and profoundly mysterious divine ability], its capacity for slaughter is also insufficient, making it difficult to easily annihilate Half-Step Celestial Immortals.

Therefore, the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor is supremely powerful in large-scale battles, yet its methods of direct execution lack that final, decisive sharpness.

Had they faced a peerless killer like the Blackcloud Demon Monarch today, even in victory, their triumph would have been purchased with unimaginably grievous losses.

The Phoenix Maiden [a noble and powerful being of phoenix lineage] also nodded, yet her expression held a trace of hesitation as she said, "I observed that while the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor's killing power may be lacking, it seemed to be holding something back." "During the battle just now, I even sensed a flicker of lethal threat."

Upon hearing her words, everyone present fell into a heavy silence.

After a moment, the Earth Sovereign [a sovereign whose power is rooted in the essence of the earth] spoke with a contemplative expression, "This plan has failed. We were unable to preemptively eliminate the threat of the Spirit Race [a race of beings composed of or closely attuned to spiritual essence]. Should we proceed with the next phase of the plan as intended?"

The gathered demon race powerhouses exchanged glances upon hearing this, many among them seemingly unaware of the deeper scheme unfolding behind the scenes.

In the end, it was True Dragon Crown Prince who spoke: "Within a Minor Universe [a self-contained, smaller cosmos], only two Universe Origin Supreme Treasure [supreme artifacts born from the universe's primordial essence] can be nurtured—one of Creation and one of Annihilation."

"Among the three races—Human, Demon God [a powerful demonic cultivator], and Divine—one faction must be eliminated. The Ethereal Void Holy Son of the Human Race is the foremost talent our race has produced in countless millennia, a thorn in the side of the Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme immortal being]."

"Therefore, the Heavenly Immortal Paragon backing us have already negotiated terms with several Grotto-Heaven [celestial paradises] of the Divine Race. After we join forces to eradicate the Human Race, we shall each claim one Primordial Source [the fundamental origin of all things] treasure."

"Upon success, the Universe Origin Supreme Treasure will belong to the Heavenly Immortal Paragon behind us. All remaining spoils shall be ours, myself included; they will take not a single coin." Thus did True Dragon Crown Prince calmly unveil the conspiracy woven by the Divine Race and the Demonic Tribe within this Minor Universe.

It turned out that for this expedition into the Minor Universe, the Heaven Immortal [a celestial immortal] backing the Divine Race and Demonic Tribe had long been in collusion. Their aim was to seize the chance to slay the Ethereal Void Holy Son, that peerless Heaven's Chosen [one favored by destiny] of the Human Race who had reached the Twelfth Heaven [a profound cultivation stage], and simultaneously claim an Innate Treasure [a treasure born with the universe] for themselves.

Their original plan was settled: let the Demonic Tribe first purge the Spirit Race [a race of nature spirits] as a troublesome element. Once Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor and the Spirit Race were eliminated, they would then unite to deal with the Human Race of this realm. Experience the full epic at audio - novel . com.

To prevent the Human Race from detecting their alliance, the Divine Race did not intervene in this battle, merely standing guard in the shadows against any human movement.

Their scheme seemed flawless, awaiting only the exit of the Spirit Race before joining forces against the Human Race. Facing a Fighting One Against Two [a desperate battle against two opponents], the humans' fate would be sealed.

Yet, who could have foreseen that the first step of their plan would go awry?

Understanding the cause and effect, the expressions of all the half-step Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivators on the verge of becoming celestial immortals] grew grave.

That Nanxu Deity [a powerful deity from the southern regions] drew a deep breath and then spoke: "Our original plan was to first annihilate the Spirit Race [a race of beings composed of pure spiritual energy], and then deal with the Human Race."

"After the Human Race and the Spirit Race were eliminated, we would then seize the Four Spirits Star Domain [a starry realm guarded by four cosmic spirits], locate that Celestial Emperor [the supreme ruler of this universe] and slay him, and finally, when the universe faced its end, claim the Universe Annihilation Supreme Treasure [a legendary artifact born from the destruction of a cosmos]."

"Although the plan has not been fully realized, it is fortunate that our collaboration with the Divine Race [a race of powerful, god-like beings] remains undisclosed."

"Next, we shall proceed with the plan to attack the Four Spirits Star Domain, first slaying those four Universe True Spirit [primordial spiritual entities that embody fundamental cosmic forces], and then seek an opportunity to join forces with the Divine Race to cripple the Human Race, or perhaps eliminate Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor."

The assembled Demonic Tribe [a tribe or faction of powerful demons] powerhouses nodded upon hearing this. That Celestial Ruins Ancient Ancestor [an ancient progenitor from a celestial ruin] drew a deep breath and declared, "If that is the case, then let us prepare to act."

Once the various Demonic Tribe factions had steeled their resolve, they immediately prepared to move against the four Universe True Spirit dwelling beyond the boundless heavens. "......"

At the same moment, Eldrin Chen appeared with his companions just outside the Boundless Starry Sky [the infinite expanse of stars and void].

Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor followed closely behind. He cast a glance at Eldrin Chen, Divine Lord Glaze, and the others, then spoke, "I never imagined that the ones to aid me this time would be the few of you." This content originates from audio . novel . com. Please respect copyright.
