Chapter 1519 : Confrontation at the Immortal Phoenix Star

What Eldrin Chen did not know was that the 'Seven-Colored Heaven-Scrolling Ribbon' in the hands of Glazed Divine Lord had been obtained from a Celestial Immortal Great Power of the Immortal Clam Clan. Its power ranked it as a masterpiece even among lower-grade Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [a weapon forged by an immortal at the Primordial Unity realm].

Regardless, with this Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon suppressing the enemy, the threat from the Formation [a structured arrangement of energy for defense or attack] was finally and completely neutralized.

They could finally free their hands and devote their full strength to confronting the forces of Ancient Immortal Phoenix Star.

At the very moment the group charged into Ancient Immortal Phoenix Star, the powerful beings upon the Ancient Star finally reacted.

"Audacious! Who dares invade the Immortal Phoenix Imperial Star?"

In that instant, a majestic and overwhelming aura surged from the heart of Ancient Immortal Phoenix Star.

Immediately following, a man clad in snow-white robes ascended into the sky with a single step. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a palm strike to suppress the intruders.

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed. He instantly channeled the Primordial One Limitless Rule [a supreme law of boundless power] to meet the strike head-on. Yet, he felt a world-shattering force crash into him, sending him hurtling backward. A bone-piercing, supremely cold energy invaded his organs.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen's Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique of near-absolute resilience] was far too Extraordinary. The Five Divine Deities [the five divine spirits residing within his body, each governing a fundamental element] within him stirred into action simultaneously. The Chaos Mist [primordial, formless energy capable of erasing all things] within him ground the invading energy to nothing, expelling and refining the Supreme Cold Energy.

"Beware! This is the Ice Phoenix Indestructibility Body [an immortal physique embodying the unyielding cold of the primordial ice phoenix], wielded by a cultivator of the Primordial Unity Realm!"

After steadying himself, Eldrin Chen channeled the Rule of Life [a profound law governing vitality and restoration] to mend his wounds while calling out a warning.

Upon hearing this, Violet Mystery Path Master immediately abandoned any thought of a direct clash. Instead, he summoned his Lifebound Supreme Treasure [a cultivator's most intimately connected and powerful artifact], the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder Sword [a sword imbued with the divine power of violet heavenly thunder], to confront the foe.

The Ice Phoenix Indestructibility Body [one of the nine supreme physiques of the Immortal Phoenix lineage, granting near-unbreakable resilience and control over ice] is one of the nine supreme physiques of the Immortal Phoenix [a mythical avian of immense power and longevity]. Cultivated to the Primordial Unity Realm [a high stage of cultivation where one's essence, energy, and spirit are perfectly unified], such a physique allows one to dominate others of the same realm.

Violet Mystery Path Master's foundational cultivation art, the Primordial Unity Foundation [a technique focused on achieving perfect unity of one's core being], is aligned with the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder Path Principle [the dao principle of devastating violet heavenly thunder]. His physical body remains a relative weakness, naturally unable to withstand a direct confrontation with such an Immortal Phoenix Indestructibility [a state of near-perfect durability and resistance to harm] physique.

Fortunately, his Lifebound Supreme Treasure, the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder Sword, harbors a Slaughter [an aura or power embodying pure, annihilating destruction] force so potent it could shake the heavens and make ghosts weep—a power sufficient to threaten the Ice Phoenix Indestructibility Body.

Seeing the situation, Eldrin Chen immediately summoned the Ancient Crimson Dragon Cauldron [an ancient cauldron artifact with the power to suppress and refine] to press down from above, coordinating with Violet Mystery Path Master to jointly suppress the Ice Phoenix Great Emperor.

"Hmm?"

Facing two opponents alone, the Ice Phoenix Great Emperor immediately felt the pressure mounting.

A slight frown creased his brow as he glanced towards his Ice Phoenix Sky-Freezing Wheel [a wheel-shaped weapon that unleashes freezing power capable of chilling the sky]. He saw it was being utterly suppressed by the Seven-Colored Heaven-Scrolling Ribbon [a magical ribbon artifact that can unfurl to envelop the heavens], completely at a disadvantage.

To make matters worse, almost at the same moment, Exquisite Jiang and the other eight Earth Immortal [immortals who have attained mastery over the earthly realm, a powerful stage of cultivation] launched their assault, surrounding and attacking him from all sides.

Fortunately, at the same time, the Phoenix Clan on Ancient Immortal Phoenix Star reacted. Over two hundred Demon Race Sages [powerful demonic beings] soared into the sky, charging towards this battlefield.

"Perfect timing."

"My warriors, follow your Emperor to annihilate the invaders!"

Seeing reinforcements arrive, Ice Phoenix Great Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of these Immortal Phoenix Demon Sage were only at the early or middle stages of the Eighth Rank [a demonic cultivation rank], their combat power somewhat weaker than that of an Earth Immortal. However, among them were also more than twenty Demon RaceGreat Sage [a powerful demonic rank] at the late World-Opening stage.

An assault by so many World-Opening-level powerhouses was enough to cause significant trouble for the group.

Yet, seeing this, Eldrin Chen felt a slight sense of reassurance. He glanced at Exquisite and the others before speaking. "Leave these to you. End it swiftly."

"Understood."

Understanding his intent, Exquisite Jiang and the others immediately surged forward to engage these powerful Immortal Phoenix Clan Demon Sages.

The primary objective of their expedition was the Inner Pill [a condensed core of demonic essence] of these Immortal Phoenix Great Sage. Now, with the opportunity presenting itself, they all unleashed their attacks without hesitation.

After merely a dozen swift exchanges, Exquisite Jiang and her companions had already slain thirty Immortal Phoenix Demon Sage [powerful demonic beings of the phoenix lineage], including six that were at the Great Sage [a powerful demonic cultivation realm] level.

"How can these outsiders be so formidable?"

In the brief span of their clash, the heart of Ice Phoenix Great Emperor sank like a stone.

Judging by the auras displayed by Exquisite Jiang and the others, most were only around the sixth or seventh level of Earth Immortal [a mid-tier immortal realm]. By the standards of the Solar Realm Small Universe [a minor cosmos], this would equate to a top-tier Saint or the Great Sage realm.

Yet the combat prowess they exhibited far exceeded all expectations.

Within the Netherworld Small Universe [a minor cosmos of darkness and death], the late eighth stage is termed Great Sage, while the peak of the eighth stage is called a Quasi-Emperor.

But the strength shown by each of them now was, at minimum, comparable to the peak of the eighth stage—the Quasi-Emperor level of this world.

The root cause lay in the fact that the Small Universe [a minor, self-contained cosmos] lacked the World-Opening [the foundational method to open one's inner world] technique. The Saint Realm [a cultivation realm in this minor cosmos] cultivators of this world were significantly weaker than their Earth Immortal counterparts of the same tier.

While Ice Phoenix Great Emperor, as one of the Ten Directions Great Emperors [the ten supreme rulers of this minor cosmos], wielded partial authority over the Small Universe and possessed combat power nearly on par with a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator halfway to becoming a true celestial immortal], the ordinary demon sages could not achieve such a feat.

"Cleave them!"

Even as the Ice Phoenix Great Emperor pondered, Exquisite Jiang fought one against three, holding off three Quasi-Emperors of the Immortal Phoenix Clan.

She unleashed her Divine Ability and wielded her Immortal Treasure to strike in all directions. Seizing an opening, she suppressed a foe with the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron and, in the blink of an eye, crushed one of the Immortal Phoenix Clan Quasi-Emperors into oblivion within the void.

Seeing the battle turn increasingly dire, a look of grave seriousness finally settled upon the Ice Phoenix Great Emperor's face.

He defended with all his might against the combined assault of Eldrin Chen and the Violet Mystery Path Master, then ignited a spiritual talisman to send a message out into the ether.

"..."

Meanwhile, in the boundless void far away, a woman clad in a violet gown frowned slightly, as if sensing something.

A young maiden by her side noticed and inquired, "Saintess, what is it?"

The violet-gowned woman shook her head and spoke, "The Celestial Being [a cultivator who has ascended to the celestial realm] Resonance Talisman has been ignited."

The maiden's expression turned profoundly grave. "When you left that Celestial Being Resonance Talisman on the Ancient Immortal Phoenix Star, you warned them never to ignite it unless faced with a mortal crisis."

"Indeed."

The woman in the violet skirt gave a slight nod, her gaze turning slightly cold as she spoke, "I shall see for myself who dares to lay a hand on someone marked by my Immortal Phoenix Grotto-Heaven."

With those words, the violet-robed woman prepared to depart.

Yet, in the very next instant, she halted, her expression turning grave as she looked deep into the void.

There, amidst the boundless heavens and earth, a majestic figure holding a war spear strode through the air.

And from another direction, an ancient mirror suppressed the Nine Heavens Above, radiating a light that illuminated the Myriad Heavens.

"The Antiquity-Tracing Spear [a legendary spear said to pierce through the annals of time], the World-Severing Mirror [a divine mirror rumored to be able to sunder worlds],"

the violet-skirted woman uttered slowly, her eyes darkening. "Two of the three Great Emperor-level figures of this realm's Human Race have been dispatched today for me alone. They certainly think highly of this seat."

"It seems the one who acted has long since calculated everything."

Above the Void Heaven, beneath the desolate ancient mirror, a figure sat cross-legged amidst a sky full of Starry River.

Endless streams of time flowed around this person, who seemed to be seated at the very end of the River of Space-Time [the conceptual flow of time and space]. It was as if they were meditating within the Future Space-Time, casting their gaze across an immeasurably vast expanse of years.

"The Yuezhuo [a legendary avian creature, said to be one of the Five Phoenixes from beyond this realm], is said to be one of the Five Phoenixes from beyond this realm."

"With your power, it is sufficient for the two of us to join forces."

The majestic figure wielding the Antiquity-Tracing Spear also strode forward, his form shrouded in layers of mist, exuding an aura of profound antiquity.

He seemed to have stepped forth from the distant Antiquity-Tracing era, descending along the River of Space-Time [the metaphysical flow of time and space], intent on vanquishing a formidable foe of unparalleled might.
