Chapter 1167 : Reverse Cultivation of Immortals
Meanwhile, atop the Violet Radiance Divine Isle, 2 figures stood side by side.
A figure clad in jade immortal robes, crowned with a divine coronet, exuded an aura of supreme nobility that cascaded around him.
Another figure wore the 'Purple Firmament Crown of Heaven', draped in imperial robes adorned with violet patterns. His entire body bathed in endless arcs of violet lightning, and with every flicker of his eyes, an aura capable of cleaving heaven and earth seemed to permeate the surroundings.
These 2 were divine beings of the God Clan, known respectively as the Amethyst Radiance Deity and the Cerulean Brilliance Deity.
The Amethyst Deity’s expression shifted with a trace of complexity as he sighed softly. “2 pure-blooded true dragons—1 skinned and stripped of its sinews, the other scaled and deboned. That Patriarch of the Returning Abyss truly fathered a remarkable daughter.”
"Yes."
The Azure Radiance Divine Sovereign also nodded and said, “Back then, the eldest son of the Abyss slaughtered not a few of our divine descendants, among them even a Divine Scion.”
"Now there's another Chen Xianqing. If he's allowed to mature, he could become quite the nuisance."
While the 2 were conversing, a streak of spiritual light shot through the distant void.
The Azure Radiance Deity took it and glanced over it before speaking, “Chilongzi has sent word, offering a top-grade immortal treasure—the Amethyst Radiance Thunder Dragon Jade—in exchange for us blocking the paths of the 6 Stars, Heavenly Feather, and Flowing Void Islands.”
"Oh?"
The Amethyst Deity’s eyes gleamed with divine light as he shook his head and sighed. "If I refine the Amethyst Thunder Dragon Jade, I have a 50 percent chance of breaking through to the ninth level of Ascendant Immortal."
"The price offered by this Elder of the Crimson Dragon truly leaves me unable to refuse."
Within the Celestial Sand Archipelago, heaven and earth were enveloped in profound silence.
Upon learning that Chen Xianqing had slain 2 Eldrin (Person Name), Lyra (Person Name) and the others could no longer remain idle.
Realizing the situation had escalated, Qingji and Lyra (Person Name) immediately sent word to Immortal Liuchen (Person Name) and the others before setting off to find Chen Xianqing (Person Name).
They searched for several days and finally found Chen Xianqing on a nameless islet deep within the Tiansha Islands.
Seeing Lyra (Person Name), Qing Ji, Yan Zi Ji, Lila (Person Name), and Li Huang approaching, Chen Xianqing still hadn't grasped the severity of the situation.
She raised the dragon soup, grinning cheekily as she said, "Mother, I've slain 2 evil dragons that were wreaking havoc."
"Nonsense."
Qing Ji’s expression shifted wildly as she grabbed Chen Xianqing’s arm and urged, “Come home with Mother, quickly!”
"I'm not going back."
Chen Xianqing shook his head resolutely, his tone unyielding as he declared, "That calamitous dragon Fengyu wreaks havoc across the land. While you all hesitate to act for fear of Chi Longzi, this child of yours does not fear her."
Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) immediately spoke up, "Let's not waste any more time. We should return to Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location) first."
As soon as the words fell, several figures moved to forcibly take Chen Xianqing away.
"Thinking of going back now? I'm afraid it's too late!"
But just then, a cold voice echoed from the void.
7 figures tore through the void and landed, blocking the path ahead.
"Chilongzi."
The moment she saw the newcomer, Lyra's expression shifted imperceptibly. This time, the ones who had arrived were actually 7 Dragon Clan demon immortals.
Among the 7, the strongest was Eldrin.
Among the remaining 6 individuals, 3 had reached the Middle Ascension Realm: the Crimson-Scaled Wyrm, the 9-Headed Hydra, and the Void-Serpent Dragon.
These 3 dragon clansmen at the Ascension Realm's middle stage, descendants of the former Crimson Dragon Ancestor, each possessed formidable power.
The remaining 3 demon immortals were not to be underestimated either. Led by the Eldrin (Person Name), they all possessed cultivation at the early Immortal Ascension stage.
Now that Eldrin was absent, among the women who had arrived this time, only Lyra possessed Late Ascension Realm strength. Qingji had surpassed the sixth level of the Ascension Realm by a small margin, yet she had not reached Late Ascension Realm prowess.
Not long after Li Huang, Yan Zi Ji, and Lila (Person Name) had made their breakthroughs, although both Lila (Person Name) and Yan Zi Ji possessed Celestial Immortal foundations, they were only marginally stronger than those at the third level of Ascendant Immortal.
"Don't engage head-on."
In the blink of an eye, Lyra (Person Name) perceived the disparity in their strength and immediately declared, "Do not engage them head-on. We must retreat for now."
In the blink of an eye, the group decided to retreat while fighting. Qing Ji enveloped Chen Xianqing and prepared to depart.
Yet Eldrin (Person Name) remained unperturbed, his gaze icy as he declared, "There is no escape."
As the words fell, Eldrin (Person Name) arrived wielding the Crimson Dragon Shocking World Halberd (Magic Treasure), descending with a force that could sweep away all in its path to suppress his foe.
Lyra knew she was no match for him, yet she had no choice but to grit her teeth and press forward, channeling her innate immortal treasures like the Celestial Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword to confront him.
She had also cultivated a Primordial Chaos foundation, with spiritual power comparable to the Eighth Heaven Ascension realm. Yet she lacked formidable treasures in her grasp, and her divine abilities fell somewhat short. Confronting the Crimson Dragon Ancestor, she soon found herself at a disadvantage.
Though Lila and the others possessed remarkable strength, they found themselves utterly overwhelmed when confronted with such circumstances.
"Why haven't 6 Stars and Purple Flame arrived yet?"
Seeing the situation turning dire, a flicker of anxiety flashed in Jiang Ling's eyes.
At that very moment, a cataclysmic battle erupted in the distant void. Faintly visible across millions of miles of mountains and rivers, several majestic figures collided with world-shattering force.
Boom—
With his Crimson Dragon Startles the World Halberd, Patriarch Crimson Dragon swept across heaven and earth. The overwhelming might surged through all directions, forcing Lyra into relentless retreat.
Watching the confrontation erupt in the distance, he remarked coldly, "The 1 you're waiting for likely won't be coming."
Witnessing this scene, Lyra staggered back, her lips stained with blood, her heart sinking deeper by the moment.
If they hadn't brought Chen Xianqing along, they might have had a chance to escape unscathed. But now, with Chen Xianqing in tow, breaking free would likely come at a tremendous cost.
Qing Ji gritted her teeth, single-handedly holding back 3 mid-Ascension realm experts—the Crimsonblood Dragon Serpent, the 9-Headed Hydra, and the Voidblack True Dragon—before hurling Chen Xianqing away.
"You go first, we must retreat swiftly."
No!
Chen Xianqing’s face turned pale at that moment. Mischievous as she was, even she couldn’t help but show anxiety as she watched her several mothers being forced into a steady retreat.
Gripping the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) spear, she clenched her jaw and declared resolutely, "I too can lend you my aid."
"Boom—"
Amidst the chaotic battle, a dazzling immortal light shot across the sky, striking Chen Xianqing and sending him flying backward.
Crimson Dragon Crown Prince gripped his war spear, his expression frosty as he declared, "The divide between immortals and mortals is as vast as an unbridgeable chasm."
"To challenge the immortals and demons of the 9 Heavens as a mere mortal is nothing but a fool's delusion."
"You possess remarkable talent, yet you are merely courting death."
"I don't believe it!"
Chen Xianqing let out a defiant roar, unleashing the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) immortal silk and the Primordial Chaos Golden Ring in rapid succession. His Lotus Purification Body was pushed to its absolute limit, as he sought to defy the heavens and strike down a true dragon with mortal strength.
Alas, she was ultimately too young, having yet to master the Laws, Dao Fruits, or cultivate an Immortal Body. Her cultivation remained at the half-immortal realm, and despite possessing a foundation that astonished the world, she could scarcely contend with the Crimson Dragon Crown Prince.
The Crimson Dragon Crown Prince possessed a cultivation base as high as the Second Celestial Ascension Realm, with both his immortal essence and true form incomparably formidable. Every strike of his carried the power to shatter heavens and obliterate the earth. In mere moments, he had thoroughly devastated Chen Xianqing.
"Die!"
The Crimson Dragon Crown Prince spoke with icy disdain, his battle spear cleaving through heaven and earth as it swept forward with an imperious might, seeking to pierce through Chen Xianqing in a single strike.
"Not good."
Seeing the situation take a dire turn, Eldrin and the others felt their hearts sink, immediately preparing to intervene and offer assistance.
Yet they themselves were already in dire straits—how could they possibly spare the strength to shield Chen Xianqing?
"My life is over!"
Chen Xianqing’s face turned deathly pale, a trace of despair flickering in his eyes.
At that very moment, the horizon suddenly blossomed with boundless Buddhist radiance, as a figure bathed in golden light strode through the void.
The newcomer, draped in a kasaya robe, traversed boundless realms in a single step, arriving directly before them. With 1 hand, he seized the War Spear of the Crimson Dragon Crown Prince.
