Chapter 1571 : A Fleet Shattered by a Single Palm

That was an immense and boundless fleet, with a full eight Heaven-Opening Ancient Ship [legendary vessels capable of traversing the void] cleaving the heavens. Upon them surged the auras of several dozen beings comparable to Earth Immortal Progenitor [a powerful Earth Immortal cultivator who has founded a lineage], and among them, three auras even brushed against the threshold of the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm].

"At least forty-some Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has attained the Earth Immortal realm, transcending mortality] realm members of the Demon Race [a race of powerful, often malevolent, beings], and even three at Earth Immortal Great Perfection."

Lord of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace [the sovereign ruler of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace] furrowed his brow slightly, then looked towards Eldrin Chen and asked, "Their strength is not weak. Should we delay a while longer? There should still be many Immortal [beings who have ascended to the true Immortal realm] from the Upper Realm who have not yet descended."

"If we could have a few more Late Stage Earth Immortal [Earth Immortals in the advanced stages of their cultivation] descend, our chances would surely increase." "There is no need for such trouble."

Eldrin Chen spoke with detached calm, then with a flick of his sleeve, brought a palm crashing down in suppression.

In that fleeting moment, boundless Chaos Miasma [the primordial, formless energy from which all creation emerged] converged, coalescing into a colossal hand that blotted out the sky and seized one of the Heaven-Opening Ancient Ship.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed as that Ancient Vessel [an ancient, magically fortified ship] was instantly shattered into oblivion.

Upon that Ancient Vessel, several Earth Immortal Progenitor roared and struggled in defiance, yet they could not withstand even a single breath of time before being utterly annihilated, reduced to ashes of calamity.

Eldrin Chen's sudden strike caused both sides to shudder in astonishment, utterly failing to anticipate that his power could reach such terrifying heights. The story continues at audio . novel . com.

"How dare you!"

Ambushed, the Starry Sky Demon Race reacted swiftly.

In an instant, several dozen Earth Immortal [powerful cultivators who have transcended mortality and attained a profound connection with the earth] from the Demon Race surged forth, charging together towards Eldrin Chen.

Yet, Eldrin Chen stepped forward, meeting three foes with a single palm, and did not yield an inch of ground.

"Incredible..."

Witnessing this, Lord of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace could not help but draw a sharp, cold breath.

A flicker of shock crossed his face as he murmured in disbelief, "Legends spoke of him battling Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] cultivators even when he was merely at the Middle Stage Earth Immortal. I dismissed it as mere exaggeration."

"Who could have imagined that now, having stepped into the Late Stage Earth Immortal, his combat prowess has grown only more terrifying."

"To contend against three Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivators with the cultivation of the Eighth Level Earth Immortal... Truly, he is a Supreme [a title for a peerless genius] who has stepped into the Forbidden Realm [a legendary state of power beyond normal cultivation limits]."

"Kill—!"

After a moment of stunned silence, the assembled cultivators immediately sprang into action.

The moment they moved, everyone was startled anew, for the combat prowess displayed by the ten Earth Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to the terrestrial immortal realm] of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance far exceeded their expectations.

Although they had long known the members of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance possessed extraordinary strength, the instant they unleashed their power, it still left the onlookers utterly astounded.

They saw Verdant Consort and Nyssa Qu instantly step into the void, charging towards the strongest cluster of Late Stage Earth Immortal [cultivators at the peak of the terrestrial immortal realm] among the several dozen Demon Race [a race of powerful, often malevolent, spiritual beings] Earth Immortal.

Though they were merely two individuals, they held back nearly ten Late Stage Earth Immortal, even seizing an overwhelming advantage.

Yvonne the Violet Consort and Lila flanked the battle, sealing the retreat of the Demon Race to prevent their escape. Yet, these two also displayed combat power rivaling that of Earth Immortal Nine Layers [the ninth and final layer of the terrestrial immortal realm], effortlessly slaying several Earth Immortal Progenitor [venerable ancestors among terrestrial immortals].

As for Lin Tianqi, the Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title signifying mastery over void essence], Demon-Subduing Divine Monk, Master of the Dao Palace, and Dorian Ji—these five, though their strength was somewhat lesser, still ranked among the pinnacle of Middle Stage Earth Immortal [cultivators in the middle phase of the terrestrial immortal realm], gaining significant upper hands against their Demon Race foes.

Witnessing this, Lord of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace felt a tremor of shock in his heart. At this moment, he faintly sensed that even if he faced Yvonne the Violet Consort or Lila alone, he likely stood no chance of victory.

"Within this Abyssal Immortal Alliance, their Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable foundational cultivation base of a cultivator] is actually so formidable," he murmured inwardly.

"They have each opened at least six Seventh Heaven [a specific layer within the higher cultivation heavens], with several having even opened eight Ninefold Heavens [the legendary nine-layered celestial realm]. Could they be disciples from some supreme and peerless orthodox lineage?"

"Indeed, unless it is a lineage of that Supreme Dao tradition, what other power could cultivate so many top-tier Heaven's Chosen [individuals blessed with extraordinary talent and destiny] all at once?"

Lord of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace was utterly shaken in his heart. Not daring to hesitate in the slightest, he immediately began to unleash his attacks, slaying the formidable enemies one after another.

The three Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] Demon Race were being suppressed by Eldrin Chen. Although the remaining Demon Race were numerous, they had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position.

On the side of the Frontier Star Domain, there were a full five combatants with Earth Immortal Great Perfection strength. Such a vast numerical disparity rendered this conflict utterly devoid of suspense.

Not long after the great battle commenced, the Demon Race began to fall in great numbers.

During this time, they wished to flee for their lives. However, under the covert spatial sealing of Eldrin Chen's Yin-Yang Void realm [a profound cultivation art that manipulates the principles of Yin, Yang, and Void], they possessed not the slightest possibility of escape.

Thus, after merely several Shichen-time [a conventional time unit equal to two hours], more than forty Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of Earth Immortals] demons had been utterly annihilated.

"Ah, I dare not!" "Jareth has misled me!"

Seeing that the tide of battle was irreversible, the sole remaining Earth Immortal Great Perfection Demon Race roared with fury, his expression one of utter despair.

In truth, even before the great battle, the Starry Sky Demon Race had conducted some reconnaissance on the Frontier Star Domain.

At that time, the vanguard of the Starry Sky Demon Race dispatched only a single Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the terrestrial immortal realm] demon for the initial probe. This was done to prevent excessive losses and, secondly, to gather intelligence on the Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and ascended to the celestial realm] forces from the upper world residing within the Frontier Star Domain.

After their reconnaissance, the vanguard of the Starry Sky Demons concluded that this Frontier Star Domain likely harbored only one or two upper-world Patriarchs at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] level.

Furthermore, they reasoned that the upper-world Patriarchs of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace [the Dao Palace of the Great Wilderness, a major cultivation sect] might not even dare to descend and confront the impending cataclysm.

Thus, the Starry Sky Demon Race mobilized a vast force of Demon Race [demonic beings who cultivate through unorthodox and often destructive means], dispatching three Earth Immortal Great Perfection experts. They went so far as to bring forth a Heavy Treasure [a category of immensely powerful magical artifacts] to ensure their assault's success.

They believed this plan was foolproof. Yet, they could never have anticipated the terrifying strength hidden within the Frontier Star Domain.

By all logic, a minor star domain such as this should have produced, at most, one or two upper-world Patriarchs at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection level. Finding even one would have been considered extraordinarily fortunate.

But this time, a full six combatants with power equivalent to the Earth Immortal Nine Layers [the ninth layer of the Earth Immortal realm, one step below Great Perfection] had descended. Furthermore, there was Eldrin Chen, whose might was at least comparable to three Earth Immortal Great Perfection experts. This completely disrupted the Starry Sky Demon Race's carefully laid plans.

"You have disrupted the Demon Lord's designs! You all deserve death!"

Consumed by shock and fury, the Earth Immortal Great Perfection Demon Race expert descended into a frenzy.

With a roar that shook the void, he drew a blood-crimson demonic sword from behind his back.

That demonic sword brimmed with boundless Baleful Qi [a malevolent and destructive form of spiritual energy]. As it was drawn, an endless Blood Sea [a sea of blood, a common motif representing immense slaughter] surged upwards, and a sky-obscuring Karmic Malignancy Light [a baleful radiance born from accumulated negative karma] enveloped the boundless Starry Sky Great Universe.

In that instant, a terrifying spectacle manifested within the starry void: a sky-filling Blood Sea, the corpses of myriad beings strewn about, and the mournful wails of countless spectral entities.

"Trouble!"

Lord of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace's heart lurched, and he cried out in alarm, "Be careful, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a cultivator of similar standing]! That is the Demonic Path's Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a legendary artifact of the highest order, said to possess power capable of cleaving the heavens], the Blood Demon Soul-Slaying Sword [a supremely evil sword forged from the blood and souls of countless beings]!"

"What a vile blade."

Eldrin Chen felt a chill pierce the space between his brows. The moment this sword appeared, even he sensed a palpable threat.

Legends spoke of the Blood Demon Soul-Slaying Sword as the most sinister sword of the Demonic Path. Its forging required "the blood of Hundreds of Millions of Living Beings [an incalculable number of sentient lives] and the spirits of ten thousand races," combined with "the souls of a hundred spectral entities."

Once completed, the sword could steal the heart and soul of its wielder, its slaughtering power sufficient to butcher even immortals and deities. Yet, such an evil weapon bore a great flaw.

It was said the sword devoured its masters; only those with immense willpower and an unshakable mind could hope to control it.

Otherwise, they would have their consciousness seized by the evil blade, becoming nothing more than a sword-slave to the Blood Demon Soul-Slaying Sword.

Yet, as the Demon Race warrior brandished the Blood Demon Soul-Slaying Sword, his pupils were instantly dyed a crimson red, a clear sign that his consciousness had been utterly stripped away.

"You forced my hand!"

The Starry Sky Demon Race warrior roared, a torrential killing intent surging forth to engulf the heavens as he cleaved down towards Eldrin Chen with overwhelming force. This content originates from AUDIO-NOVEL.COM. Please respect copyright.
