Chapter 1467 : The End of the Flaming Palace Lord

But he no longer had the strength to turn back. Countless shadow crows had already caught up to him, launching a frenzied assault.

At death's door, the Profound Heaven Patriarch unleashed earth-shattering combat prowess. His peerless celestial sword cleaved through the boundless netherworld, causing thousands of Nether Crows to perish. Yet this was ultimately but the final radiance of a dying ember.

Seizing the opportunity as the Profound Heaven Elder drew numerous Shadow Crows, the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace swung his sword, cleaving through countless dark avians as he charged forward. With a thunderous roar, he glared at the Yang Extreme Elder and the Riverlong Daoist.

"You 2, scatter and flee for your lives if you wish to live."

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Anode and the River Azure Elder felt a chill run down their spines.

The nearest path to the boundary between Yin and Yang lay in this direction. Had they attempted to break through from any other route, their chances of survival would have dwindled into near nothingness.

But now, they had no other choice but to charge out toward both sides.

As the 2 departed, countless shadow crows pursued them, and the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace immediately felt the pressure lessen dramatically.

He immediately unleashed boundless sword energy, the dazzling immortal sword cleaving through all obstacles to pierce the very heart of the endless void.

"Ah—"

At the same moment, the final scream of agony rose from behind.

In the end, the Daoist of Mysterious Heaven was ultimately engulfed by countless shadow crows, and a top-tier Earth Immortal who had once shaken the realms met his end within this forbidden land of shadow crows.

Eldrin concealed his aura as he moved swiftly through the shadows, his eyes calmly observing the scene without the slightest flicker of emotion.

His gaze was fixed intently on the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, finally revealing a trace of chilling intent.

At this moment, Lyra had already positioned herself beside Eldrin. Witnessing the scene unfold, she declared, "We are not far from the boundary between Yin and Yang now. We absolutely cannot allow him to break through this encirclement."

"He cannot get out."

Eldrin spoke up, maneuvering around from the side to position himself directly in front of the Master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace.

No 1 knew how much time had passed, but the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, having exhausted every ounce of strength to cut through thorns and thistles, finally managed to carve a path through countless shadow crows.

Just as he was ecstatic and about to charge out, a colossal Primordial Chaos Hand that blotted out the sky descended, forcing him to hurtle backward in retreat.

With a single strike that forced the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace to retreat, Eldrin stepped back leisurely and spoke indifferently, "Did I permit you to leave?"

"Ah, you deserve to die!"

In that instant, the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace descended into near-madness.

He gathered boundless sword energy, sparing no expense in depleting the very essence of his inner world. With overwhelming divine might, he pierced through the vast expanse of the void, once again tearing open the encirclement.

Yet just as his strike exhausted its force, Eldrin made another move. A 5-colored divine thunder descended, pressing down with overwhelming might and forcing him back.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

In that moment, the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace descended into utter madness, continuously unleashing the power of supreme Dao principles, repeatedly tearing through the encirclement of Shadow Crows.

Eldrin and Lyra would not let him escape. As the Mysterious Sun Heaven-Burial Blade, the Infernal Prison War Halberd, the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, the Great 5 Elements Pure Yin Divine Thunder, and other divine abilities descended upon him in an unending barrage.

The Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace broke through the encirclement 9 times in succession, only to be forced back each time.

In the final stages of the battle, the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace was nearly driven to utter despair. Watching countless Shadow Crows relentlessly pursue him while completely ignoring Eldrin (Person Name), he felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation and frustration.

He cast a deep, lingering glance at Eldrin, his eyes finally reddening as he spoke.

"I want you dead!"

At the final moment, the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace sacrificed his flesh in a blood ritual, even going so far as to offer his Primordial Immortal Embryo to empower his sword. He tore through the endless swarm of shadow crows and charged straight toward Eldrin (Person Name).

This strike was the strongest blow of the Stellar Flare Palace Lord's entire life, possessing an unrivaled, peerless sharpness. Even a Heavenly Immortal, upon witnessing it, would frown slightly and be unwilling to meet this deathbed strike head-on.

Even after piercing through the endless swarm of shadow crows, he still possessed enough strength to slay Eldrin.

Yet faced with such a certain-kill strike, Eldrin revealed a faint smile, for his steps had already crossed into the boundary between Yin and Yang.

With a flick of his sleeve, he instantly manipulated the laws of space, evading this lethal strike by what seemed a hair's breadth—yet was in truth as vast as the distance between celestial shores.

And that single sword stroke tore through the fabric of heaven and earth, pierced the boundaries between Yin and Yang, and forcefully carved a path tens of thousands of miles through countless fire crows on the opposite shore.

Alas, after this final desperate strike, the Primordial Spirit power of the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace was completely exhausted, ultimately causing him to fall and vanish between heaven and earth.

"It is over."

Watching the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace fall, Eldrin let out a heavy sigh of relief.

In a hurried moment, he and Lyra (Person Name) seized 3 treasures of the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace with the 5-Colored Divine Light, then vanished into the void by activating the Yin-Yang Void Mirror.

With the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace and the others no longer drawing attention, Eldrin would become the primary target for the Shadow Crows and Fire Crows if he remained.

After fleeing the 10 1000 Crows Forbidden Lands, Eldrin retrieved several treasures belonging to the Lord of Flowing Fire Star Palace. A faint smile graced his lips as he remarked, "With the demise of the Lord of Flowing Fire Star Palace, a grave threat that has long plagued our hearts is finally eradicated."

Jiang Ling also broke into a smile, letting out a sigh of relief as she said, "From now on, we finally won’t have to live on tenterhooks anymore."

With those words, the 2 flew toward the Sea of Returning Abyss while taking stock of the treasures in their possession.

After the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace fell, the Earth Immortal realm within him teetered on the brink of destruction, and countless treasures emerged at that time.

However, pressed for time, Eldrin only hastily absorbed 3 of the most dazzling treasures.

The 3 treasures were respectively a shattered immortal sword, an ancient celestial scripture, and a dazzling starry bracelet.

Among the 3 treasures, the Shattered Immortal Sword was the life-bound immortal sword of the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, and the sole Chaos Supreme Treasure he had forged.

This treasure is named the Flowing Fire Heavenly Star Sword. At its peak, it possessed the power to cleave through the celestial river of the 9 Heavens. Alas, it was ultimately destroyed by the Dragon King of the Western Abyss.

The ancient scripture was named the Celestial Tome of Stars, a Taiyi-grade cultivation art. This technique had been acquired by the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace at great cost. When cultivated to its ultimate extent, it could forge 3 distinct Taiyi foundations.

Given the current circumstances,

The final piece was a string of star bracelets, woven together from a dozen Star Pearls.

This pearl is named the 12 Eldrin Pearls, a supreme spatial spirit treasure that embodies both the attributes of void and stars.

Its grade was merely that of a top-tier Sky-Opening Treasure, yet when the 12 Time Star Beads were activated, they could tear through the void 12 times in rapid succession, making them the ultimate treasure for preserving 1’s life.

It must be known that Eldrin’s Yin-Yang Void Realm, even after advancing to the eighth-tier middle grade, could only be activated twice within a short period of time.

Meanwhile, the Sky-Soaring Shuttle, designed specifically for traversing the void, could only pierce through spatial barriers 6 times within a short period. Both were far inferior to these 12 Celestial Epoch Pearls.

Moreover, if these 12 Eldrin Zodiac Pearls were arranged into a grand formation, they could stabilize the fabric of space and seal the void, preventing any ambushes from others.

The former master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace used this treasure to deploy a grand formation, which even left the Heavenly Prison Clan Lord helpless despite wielding a spatial treasure of Creation-Grade caliber. This demonstrates the formidable power of this artifact.

Contemplating the profound mysteries of this artifact, Eldrin nodded thoughtfully and said, "The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss cannot be restored in a short time. The Celestial Codex of Starlight shall remain as our clan's foundational heritage for now."

"Only these 12 Eldrin Zodiac Beads, capable of deploying a grand formation to guard against ambushes, are what we urgently need."
