Chapter 1447 : Plot to Eliminate the Demon

A top-grade eighth-rank spatial treasure was of extraordinary value. While it could not compare to a Heaven-Opening treasure, its worth surpassed that of ordinary top-grade Heaven-Opening treasures by several times.

Their friendship was not deep; she didn't even know Eldrin's true identity. If she handed the treasure to Eldrin and he deceived her, the loss would be immeasurable.

With this thought in mind, Daoist Zixuan also grew somewhat hesitant.

Seeing this, Eldrin immediately spoke up, "Time is of the essence now. With the Shadow Crow Patriarch watching us like a hawk, we could fall into the Shadow Crows' encirclement at any moment."

"If you cannot steel your resolve, Fellow Daoist, we still have time to scatter and flee separately."

Hearing this, Patriarch Zixuan fell into deep contemplation.

He cast a glance into the depths of the void and murmured thoughtfully, "That accursed Shadow Crow has cost me a premium-grade Sky-Sundering Ancient Vessel. This is a feud of the deepest order—only his death can quell the hatred burning in my heart."

"Even if I do not go to kill him, I, who have glimpsed the realm of Celestial Immortality, would still be his primary target for elimination."

"If it were a fair duel, I would have no complaints. But this man is treacherous and cunning. He hid in the shadows without engaging directly, instead unleashing endless swarms of Shadow Crows and Fire Crows to besiege me. Such underhanded and vicious tactics are truly despicable."

Thoughts flickered incessantly in his mind until Patriarch Zixuan finally resolved himself and declared, "Though this is our first meeting, I perceive an aura about you reminiscent of our righteous path."

"Today, this old man shall take a risk and place my trust in you, fellow Daoist. I sincerely hope you will not disappoint me."

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but smile and say, "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist, I won't let you down."

As he spoke, Eldrin used the laws of the void as concealment, quietly drawing the Violet Mystic Elder’s spatial treasure into his dantian to refine it.

The treasure of Patriarch Zi Xuan was known as the Realm-Sky Pot (Magic Treasure). Within it existed a self-contained realm, an eighth-tier, superior-grade spatial spirit treasure. It possessed a divine ability capable of sealing the heavens and the void.

With Patriarch Zixuan personally granting access, Eldrin (Person Name) didn't take long to perform the preliminary refinement of the Realmsky Gourd. Though he hadn't touched its core Dao patterns, it was sufficient to activate this treasure.

Seeing this, Eldrin immediately withdrew the treasure and flew toward the distant void alongside the others.

Yet after flying for a considerable distance, the Shadow Crow Patriarch still had not appeared, leaving everyone increasingly anxious.

A faint frown creased Patriarch Zixuan’s brow as he couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that Patriarch Yin Crow is afraid, and dares not stand in our way?”

"I wouldn't be so sure."

Eldrin spoke, his gaze piercing into the depths of the void. Beyond the endless expanse ahead, countless Shadow Crows and Fire Crows blotted out the sky as they swept forward.

Further in the distant void, vast flocks of Shadow Crows and Fire Crows converged from all directions, seemingly intent on shrouding the entire heavens and earth.

"This demonic crow..."

An Earth Immortal Realm eighth-layer elder swallowed hard, his face slightly pale. This flock of Shadow Crows numbered no fewer than a million.

The perfected earth immortals, including Daoist Zixuan, also wore slightly grave expressions. The solemnity in their pupils seemed to betray the calm they outwardly maintained.

"Break through from the left before the demon crows encircle us."

As endless demon crows swarmed to surround them, Eldrin spoke and was the first to fly toward them.

Seeing this, the crowd swiftly followed suit, soaring into the air in an attempt to escape through the gap that had yet to close completely.

With the flying speed of these Earth Immortals, they could certainly break through before the demon crows completed their encirclement—provided no 1 stood in their way.

Just as they were about to fly past the encirclement, billions of Dark Crow Sword Qi surged from the void, madly slashing toward the seated Earth Immortal Patriarchs in an attempt to force them back.

"I've been waiting for you!"

"Let's move."

At that very instant, a dazzling light suddenly blossomed within Eldrin's eyes.

With a flick of his sleeve, he suddenly summoned the Jietian Pot (Magic Treasure), which manifested a void realm that instantly sealed this expanse of space.

In an instant, the entire expanse of hundreds of millions of miles of void was enveloped, forcing a figure riding a treasure shuttle into the open.

"Damn it."

The Yin Crow Patriarch’s heart sank. He immediately attempted to activate the Sky-Soaring Shuttle to flee, only to discover that he could not tear through the congealed void.

In that very instant, the various Earth Immortal Patriarchs, having long been prepared, sprang into action.

But then, the first to strike was the Violet Mystic Elder. In an instant, he unleashed a blinding arc of lightning—the legendary Violet Heaven Divine Thunder.

In the blink of an eye, the force sent Patriarch Yin Crow flying backward. A supreme-grade Chaos-Opening treasure was instantly obliterated by the overwhelming thunderous power.

Before the Nether Crow Patriarch could react, Breaktide True Monarch made his move. Soaring into the air, he thrust forward with a battle spear in hand.

The Ancestor of the Shadow Crow sought to evade, but a melodious chime suddenly rang in his ears. His mind grew hazy, and he found it impossible to control his spiritual power. By the time he regained his senses, it was already too late.

Seizing the opening, Lord Pofu drove his spear through Patriarch Yin Crow's physical form, inflicting a devastating wound.

Ah.

The Ancient Crow Patriarch let out a piercing shriek, only to realize that the exquisite female immortal had activated a delicate little bell, ensnaring his soul for a fleeting instant.

That small bell was known as the 9 Serenities Soul-Devouring Bell, an exceptionally unique top-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure specifically designed to subdue cultivators' primordial spirits. Even a perfected Earth Immortal expert, if caught off guard, could easily fall prey to its power.

At this moment, Patriarch Darkcrow was severely wounded and immediately felt a surge of terror. Without a second thought for his schemes against the others, he abandoned his physical form and instantly fled using his Primordial Spirit Demonic Embryo.

Yet now, with dozens of Earth Immortals before him, how could they possibly let him escape?

In the blink of an eye, several dozen Earth Immortals struck simultaneously, completely sealing off all paths of retreat.

The Nether Crow Patriarch, in a final desperate struggle, attempted to activate several supreme-grade Chaos-Opening Treasures to break through the encirclement. Yet, Eldrin and Lyra harnessed the 5-Colored Divine Light to seize 2 of those Chaos-Opening Treasures.

While the remaining treasures were extraordinary, the Violet Mystic Daoist was even more so. As a thunder cultivator who also specialized in subduing demonic practitioners, his threat to demonic cultivators far surpassed that of ordinary Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage.

Over the years of repeatedly venturing into the Abyssal Inferno Sea, Daoist Zixuan had even achieved the feat of single-handedly defeating 5 Earth Immortal Perfection demonic cultivators in a joint assault.

At this moment, without the Heaven-Evading Shuttle, the Ancient Crow Patriarch stood no chance against Daoist Zixuan relying solely on his own power.

Taoist Zixuan, enraged and filled with hatred, unleashed a relentless assault. Within just 3 moves, he obliterated 3 of the Shadow Crow Patriarch’s demonic treasures. Finally, he summoned the Zixuan Demon-Slaying Sword and utterly annihilated the Shadow Crow Patriarch.

Finally, it's dead.

After slaying the Yin Crow Patriarch, everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The Yin Crow Patriarch had ambushed them using the Sky-Soaring Shuttle and some underhanded method, nearly causing dozens of Earth Immortal Elders to perish in the most humiliating manner. Such treacherous tactics were utterly despicable.

Seizing this opportunity for revenge, the crowd unleashed their full power. Under their concerted assault, the Elder Yin Crow didn’t even last 10 breaths before falling—finally allowing them to vent their pent-up fury.

After Eldrin claimed the Netherworld Kettle, they realized countless Shadow Crows and Fire Crows had completely surrounded them.

Fortunately, they had come prepared. The Violet Mystery Elder immediately summoned a Void-Piercing Artifact (Magic Treasure), instantly tearing through the fabric of space to carry the entire group away.
