Chapter 1457 : 9 Heavens Divine Thunder Sword

"We understand."

Upon hearing this, the group nodded with grave expressions.

Seeing this, Eldrin no longer pressed the matter and simply said, "With the acquisition of the Great Unity Immortal Fruit, our gains are already substantial enough."

"From here, we need not take further risks. We can directly slip out of the Abyssal Nethersea."

With those words, Eldrin immediately led the group westward toward the Primordial Sea of Western Mist. Unbeknownst to them, they had already traversed boundless stretches of ocean, drawing ever closer to the Primordial Sea of Western Mist.

Until this day, when they were not far from the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea, they witnessed an earth-shattering battle erupting between heaven and earth.

Dozens of fiendish Dao Earth Immortals were besieging 20-some figures.

"It's them."

Eldrin looked up and immediately recognized the origins of the besieged individual.

The 20-some Earth Immortals now surrounded were precisely those venerable founders who had arrived at the Abyssal Prison Sea alongside Eldrin.

The leaders were none other than Daoist Zixuan, True Monarch Pofu, and Soulsnatcher Fairy.

On the demonic cultivators' side, 6 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage led over 50 other Earth Immortal elders in relentlessly besieging the human Earth Immortals.

From the perspective of the battle, the human race had the peak Earth Immortal Perfection expert, Zixuan Daoren (Cultivator), and thus did not fall into a disadvantageous position.

But the demonic cultivators activated a set of pearl array artifacts, sealing off the retreat path of the human Immortals.

Most crucially, from the distant void beyond, more demonic cultivators continued to arrive as reinforcements.

Seeing this, Qing Ji couldn't help but remark, "They're surrounded. It seems the situation will turn dire if the fight continues."

Lyra (Person Name) also furrowed her brow slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Should we lend a hand?"

Eldrin carefully assessed the situation, realizing that if he did not intervene, the increasing number of demonic cultivators would likely result in the loss of over half the Earth Immortal elders—with the exception of Patriarch Zi Xuan.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin spoke, "As fellow humans who've weathered hardships together, we cannot stand idly by."

Eldrin spoke, then began to carefully survey the battlefield.

He noticed that although there were many demonic cultivators present, they held no overwhelming advantage against the human race.

For the human Earth Immortals who had come here were nearly all at the mid-stage of Earth Immortal realm, and each possessed combat prowess that could be considered formidable among their peers.

Though they were fewer in number, their cultivation levels were higher, and they had all prepared methods specifically designed to counter demonic practitioners. In contrast, these demonic patriarchs possessed lower cultivation bases, and thus the battle did not tip in their favor.

At the heart of the great battle, True Monarch Broken Cauldron and Soulsnatch Fairy each faced a Perfected Earth Immortal at the great circle of completion.

Meanwhile, Daoist Zixuan single-handedly confronted the encirclement of 4 Earth Immortal Perfection demonic cultivators, yet managed to gain the upper hand.

After roughly grasping the battle situation, Eldrin immediately declared, "The Violet Emperor's Divine Thunder of Patriarch Zixuan is the natural bane of all demonic cultivators in this world."

"If we assist him in eliminating 1 person first, it should be enough to create an opening to turn the tables."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Chen Qiyuan’s expression, however, was grave. He murmured contemplatively, "They’ve used Void Treasure Pearls to form an array, sealing both heaven and earth. Even the Heaven-Soaring Shuttle cannot pierce through it."

"If we force our way in, even if we might not break the grand formation, I'm afraid it would be nearly impossible to launch a surprise attack and eliminate even 1 of them."

"Don't worry."

Eldrin (Person Name) declared with unwavering confidence, "As the master of spatial laws, my comprehension of spatial forces far surpasses anything they could ever achieve."

"In the past, I could suppress the Heaven-Fleeing Shuttle with the Boundary Heaven Pot. Today, I shall use this very shuttle to pierce through the Void Grand Array."

With those words spoken, Eldrin observed for a moment longer before selecting the weakest Earth Immortal Perfection demonic cultivator. "This demon's magical power is feeble. If my deduction is correct, he has likely only opened 5 celestial layers."

"In a moment, I will traverse the void with the Sky-Sojourn Shuttle. You must strike with your full power the instant I emerge, ensuring a crippling blow in a single move."

"Very well."

Everyone quickly nodded, a trace of seriousness appearing on their faces.

Seeing everyone’s agreement, Eldrin immediately activated the Sky-Soaring Shuttle (Magic Treasure). In an instant, it transformed into a ripple in the void, darting forth and appearing abruptly amidst the great battle.

In that very instant, everyone made their move simultaneously. In the blink of an eye, treasures like the Solar Oblivion Blade, the Lunar Annihilation Sword, and the Infernal Prison Halberd shot forth in a dazzling display. Even the Great 5 Elements Pure Yin Divine Thunder came crashing down with devastating force.

That demonic cultivator was the weakest among the 6 Earth Immortals at the Perfection Stage. Already bearing the brunt of Patriarch Zi Xuan's assault, he had lost 3 of his prized demonic treasures.

Ambushed by 6 assailants without warning, he was caught completely off guard. Blood sprayed through the air as he was sent flying, nearly half his body shattered on impact.

"Ah—"

The Demonic Path Ancestor let out a wretched scream, instantly overwhelmed with both shock and fury as he desperately attempted to flee. Yet, it was already far too late.

But then Eldrin swept his sleeve, and the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand descended with overwhelming force, instantly suppressing it within the palm of his hand.

In an instant, boundless Primordial Sunfire swept down, reducing it to tribulation ashes in mere breaths.

Pitiful was this demonic lord, who had also reached the pinnacle of Earth Immortal perfection—a supreme patriarch of the demonic path. In a 1-on-1 duel, even Eldrin (Person Name) would not dare claim certain victory over him.

But now, ambushed as he was, he had barely managed to unleash even 30 percent of his combat strength before meeting his end in utter confusion.

"The laws of space are truly remarkable, no wonder they are counted among the supreme principles."

With a single move, he annihilated a Perfected Earth Immortal of the demonic path at the Great Perfection stage. Eldrin felt a surge of satisfaction within. Undeniably, the spatial laws combined with the Pure Yang Celestial Flames rendered his lethality against demonic cultivators far surpassing that of an ordinary Great Perfection Earth Immortal.

Meanwhile, seeing Eldrin (Person Name) slay the demonic path patriarch, the aged Daoist Zixuan immediately revealed an expression of ecstatic joy.

With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned boundless Violet Heaven Thunder that flooded the firmament, forcing the 3 Earth Immortal Perfection fiends into relentless retreat. He then laughed heartily and declared, “Eldrin, your timing is impeccable, my esteemed brother.”

"Today, we brothers fight side by side. We shall make these demonic scoundrels tremble at our very name!"

As his voice faded, Patriarch Zixiao flicked his sleeve and unleashed 9 blinding arcs of lightning that drowned heaven and earth. They coalesced into 9 radiant thunderblades that crisscrossed the skies, their overwhelming divine might sweeping across all corners of the realm.

"Damn, it's the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder Sword!"

At this moment, the demonic path Earth Immortals all revealed expressions of terror.

A man’s reputation, a tree’s shadow—the Taoist Master Zixiao had attained the Dao for tens of millions of years, and his innate divine ability, the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder Sword, shook the world with its might.

This divine power possesses immeasurable might, said to be a simplified version of the profound mystic art ‘10 Directions Annihilation Heavenly Thunder Sword’. It contains the power of 9 supreme divine thunders, hailed as a Half-Step Profound Mystic-level divine power.

Such a world-shaking divine ability, once unleashed, would make even a half-step Celestial Immortal furrow his brow.

In the past, Daoist Zixuan had twice employed this divine ability. The first time, with his cultivation at the Eighth Level of Earth Immortal realm, he slew a formidable foe who had reached the Great Perfection Stage of Earth Immortal.

For the second time, with the cultivation base of a perfected Earth Immortal, he slew another perfected Earth Immortal demonic cultivator.

At this moment, as the Violet Mystic Daoist channeled his power for the third time, the boundless 9 Heavens Divine Thunder coalesced into a sword strike—a cataclysmic tempest of blade-like lightning—descending upon a supreme Earth Immortal who had unlocked 7 celestial layers, now at the pinnacle of Great Perfection.
