Chapter 1621 : A Grotto-Heaven Awaits in the Void

After resolving to seize the Zephyr Grotto-Heaven, Eldrin Chen immediately began preparations. Considering this was, after all, a Grotto-Heaven [a superior, self-contained pocket dimension within the cosmos], the Chen Immortal Clan prepared to go all out.

Eldrin Chen roused Kael Chen, Ethan Chen, and Qiyuan Chen from their secluded cultivation, and also summoned his five Dao companions [spouses bound by a shared cultivation path].

A total of nine Half-Step Celestial Immortals [cultivators at the pinnacle of power just below true immortality] set out together. Under Eldrin Chen's leadership, they traversed the dimensional void until they finally located the Zephyr Grotto-Heaven.

"It is here," he said.

Gazing at the Dimensional Void before him, Eldrin Chen remarked with a faint smile.

The others looked up and saw, within the boundless expanse of dimensional space, a deep azure, spherical pocket dimension drifting and floating.

This spherical space was only the size of a single Earth Immortal World [a world governed by an Earth Immortal cultivator]. Within the endless Dimensional Void, it was utterly insignificant. Without an accurate Dao Marker [a mystical object that resonates with and guides one to a specific location or treasure], finding it in the infinite, trackless void would be a task akin to scattering a single grain of sand across an entire great world and then asking a mortal to locate it.

At this thought, a wave of profound satisfaction washed over the group.

The nine of them observed the Zephyr Grotto-Heaven, beginning to study its hidden mechanisms.

After a long moment, Lyra Jiang spoke. "The Formation [a complex array or magical trap] within this Zephyr Grotto-Heaven appears to be the legendary Zephyr Annihilation God-Slaying Grand Array [a supreme defensive formation harnessing the annihilating power of the celestial winds]."

"If a Heavenly Immortal Paragon were personally powering it, then even an existence at the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm would find it difficult to breach in a short time."

Kael Chen also gave a slight nod and then spoke, "There is no Heaven Immortal presiding over the Formation, but from the aura I sense within, it seems there are five Half-Step Celestial Immortal."

"If they stubbornly resist, even a great power at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm would need tens of thousands of years to break through." Hearing this, the expressions of those present grew slightly solemn.

If even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon could not breach it directly, then even if the nine Half-Step Celestial Immortal of the Chen Clan joined forces, it would likely still take tens of thousands of years.

Considering this, Nyssa Qu pondered briefly before speaking, "We could utilize the Yin-Yang Void Realm to force our way directly into the Grotto-Heaven [a self-contained pocket dimension of immense spiritual power] and exterminate those five Half-Step Celestial Immortal of the Gale Wind Divine Race."

Upon hearing this, the others' expressions shifted subtly, and they fell into deep thought.

Ethan Chen shook his head, speaking with grave seriousness, "If we charge into the Formation [a complex array or defensive barrier powered by spiritual energy] without first breaking it, we will be suppressed by the power of both the Grotto-Heaven and the Formation. At best, we would only be able to exert half our strength."

"If the Zephyr Grotto-Heaven still holds a hidden trump card at that moment, we could suffer severe losses."

It was at this moment that Eldrin Chen, who had remained silent until now, spoke. "Do not worry. Leave the Grotto-Heaven's grand defensive formation of the Zephyr Grotto-Heaven to me." He paused, his gaze firm. "You focus your full power on suppressing and slaying those five Taiyi Realm cultivators from the Gale Wind Divine Race."

Hearing his words, the others could not help but let out a collective sigh of relief.

If Eldrin Chen could withstand the suppression of the Formation, then relying solely on the pressure from the Zephyr Grotto-Heaven, they should be able to unleash eighty percent of their strength. That should be sufficient for this strike.

Thinking this, Lyra Jiang spoke, "Then let us act."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. He handed the Gale God-Slaying Gourd to Lyra Jiang as a precaution, then activated the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void to pierce through the Void. In an instant, he transported everyone directly into the Gale Wind Abode of Bliss.

"BOOM—"

At that very moment, the Gale-Severing Divine Formation activated autonomously. A blindingly brilliant radiance surged upwards. Looking out, the group saw a small bell, shining like the Great Sun in the sky, descending to suppress them.

"The Gale-Soul Suppressing Bell?"

Eldrin Chen spoke calmly, then stepped forward, ascending into the heavens. With a single palm strike, he met the Wind Soul-Suppressing Bell's descent head-on.

Instantly, a tremendous collision erupted between them. A shockwave of staggering magnitude rippled outwards in all directions, cleaving the very sky nearly in two.

The Gale-Soul Suppressing Bell was indeed extraordinary. As a mid-grade Grand Unity Immortal Treasure, its power, amplified by the Formation, even surpassed that of a Low Grade Innate Treasure by a fair margin.

Had Zephyr, the Celestial God personally presided over the formation, this treasure's might would have been sufficient to suppress and slay even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon.

Although Zephyr, the Celestial God was not personally channeling it at the moment, the power of the Gale-Soul Suppressing Bell was still astonishingly formidable. It could easily suppress and slay a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, and only a Heavenly Immortal Paragon could withstand it. Though Eldrin Chen had not yet reached that paragon realm, his Taiyi Primordial Indestructible Physique was perfected, and his combat prowess already brushed against the domain of a Heaven Immortal. Furthermore, he possessed an innate and extreme counter to wind-attribute treasures like the Gale-Soul Suppressing Bell.

Therefore, when he unleashed his full power, he not only avoided falling into a disadvantage but completely overwhelmed the Gale-Soul Suppressing Bell.

"*Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—*"

Simultaneously, Zephyr Grotto-Heaven finally reacted.

Hundreds upon hundreds of figures soared into the sky. Among them, five stood out with extraordinary bearing, all having cultivated to the Primordial Foundation realm. The leaders of the two possessed cultivation bases comparable to the Dual Taiyi Foundation. One of them swept his gaze over the intruders, his expression shifting as he demanded, "Who are you, to dare invade our Zephyr Grotto-Heaven?"

"Attack!" Seeing Eldrin Chen holding the grand Formation at bay, Lyra Jiang and the others did not hesitate for a moment. They immediately surged forward to engage. The story continues at site: audio-novel.com.

Zephyr Grotto-Heaven was not lacking in power. It housed tens of thousands of Divine Spirits and several hundred powerful Divine Spirits who had reached the Earth Immortal Realm.

However, without the suppression of the grand Formation, the invaders showed no fear. They launched their assaults, and a great battle erupted against the deities of Zephyr Grotto-Heaven.

In an instant, Kael Chen made his move. He summoned the Three Demons Immortal-Slaughtering Sword Formation, its killing intent materializing into a crimson web of sword-light that instantly intercepted the combined assault of hundreds of Earth Immortal cultivators.

Lyra Jiang [the Immortal Maiden Lyra Jiang] deployed a set of Taiyi Eight Trigrams Formation Flags [the Supreme Unity Eight Trigrams Formation Flags], single-handedly suppressing the siege of tens of thousands of Divine Spirits [spiritual beings who have ascended to a divine state].

In recent years, after the Eight Trigrams Ancient Tree [the Ancient Tree of the Eight Trigrams] advanced to become a Grand Unity Immortal Root [a root of supreme unity with immortal properties], it bore eight portions of Taiyi Origin Fruit [Supreme Unity Origin Fruits], all of which were precious Taiyi Rare Treasure [rare treasures of the Supreme Unity grade].

Lyra Jiang [the Immortal Maiden Lyra Jiang] refined them into this set of 'Taiyi Eight Trigrams Formation Flags' [Supreme Unity Eight Trigrams Formation Flags]. When combined, their power was even comparable to a single Low Grade Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the primal chaos of heaven and earth]. As Lyra Jiang [the Immortal Maiden Lyra Jiang] continuously channeled her power, the formation not only held back the siege of tens of thousands of Divine Spirits [spiritual beings who have ascended to a divine state], it even began to suppress the countless Formation [magical arrays and defensive barriers] within the Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm, a pocket dimension of profound spiritual energy].

With these troublesome Divine Spirits [spiritual beings who have ascended to a divine state] and Formation [magical arrays] out of the way, the remaining five Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivators on the very cusp of ascending to true immortality] were formidable, but the group felt no fear.

Verdant Consort [the Verdant Consort] and Nyssa Qu [Nyssa Qu] made their move, each intercepting one Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivator on the very cusp of ascending to true immortality] who possessed a Dual Taiyi Foundation [a dual Supreme Unity cultivation foundation]. Their power had grown significantly over the years; even facing opponents with such a foundation, they did not immediately fall behind.

Seeing this, Qiyuan Chen [Chen Qiyuan], Ethan Chen [Ethan Chen], Lila [Lila], and Yvonne the Violet Consort [Yvonne the Violet Consort] immediately launched a joint assault on the three Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivators on the very cusp of ascending to true immortality] who possessed a Single Taiyi Foundation [a single Supreme Unity cultivation foundation].

All four were top-tier Heaven's Chosen [individuals blessed by heaven with exceptional talent] who had opened the Ninefold Heavens [the Nine Layers of Heaven, representing the pinnacle of potential]. Even though they were suppressed within the Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm], able to wield only eighty percent of their strength, they were not opponents any ordinary Single Taiyi Foundation [cultivator with a single Supreme Unity foundation] could hope to match.

From the moment the battle was joined at that spot, the three Taiyi Realm [Supreme Unity Realm] Divine Spirits [spiritual beings] found themselves at a disadvantage.

"Slay them!" The fierce battle erupted, and the group displayed astonishing combat prowess.

Qiyuan Chen [Chen Qiyuan] transformed into his Indestructible Golden Body [an Unbreakable Golden Physique], blazing like a scorching sun from the Nine Heavens [the Nine Layers of Heaven] as he bore down upon a powerful foe. With sheer force, he tore open the Supreme Unity Immortal Physique [an immortal physique of the Supreme Unity grade] of one Taiyi Realm [Supreme Unity Realm] Divine Spirits [spiritual being].

"Aaaargh—"

With his Supreme Unity Immortal Physique [a legendary body constitution of perfect unity and immense power] shattered, the Taiyi Realm [a high cultivation realm] Divine Spirits [powerful spiritual beings] let out a shriek of agony and immediately sought to flee for his life.
