Chapter 1484 : Netherdragon Emperor
After the 3 departed, they returned from the depths of the Nether Cosmos after merely 2 1000 years.
They all possessed combat prowess at the late-stage Earth Immortal realm and carried only 30,000 units of Devotional Silver each, thus encountering no significant troubles. Upon their return, they brought back 80-3 bottles of Galactic Starfall Elixir, finally allowing the group to substantially alleviate their pressure.
Eldrin distributed 70-2 bottles of the Galaxy Starfall Elixir and declared, "The assault on the Abyssal Sea Blessed Realm will be our most arduous battle yet."
"Regain your strength first. It's not too late to resume the battle once the essence of heaven and earth has been restored."
Hearing this, the assembly immediately began refining the Galaxy Starfall Pills, continuously replenishing the power of their World Origin.
Thus time flew by, and 1 100 years had passed. Only when the group had recovered more than half of their depleted origin essence did Eldrin (Person Name) finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
When the others emerged from seclusion 1 after another that day, Eldrin finally gazed toward the location of the Abyssal Sea Blessed Land and murmured thoughtfully:
"This Nethersea Blessed Land is a supreme-grade sanctuary, though now, affected by the destruction of the Heavenly Dao, the energy within has grown highly unstable."
"However, using this to activate the Abyssal Pearl would likely still prove difficult to handle."
Chen Qiyuan (Person Name) pondered briefly before speaking, "Regardless, we should try first before making judgments." "Then let's begin."
Eldrin nodded slightly. With a single command from him, several 1000 deities moved in unison to take action.
So many deities striking together unleashed a truly astonishing might—far surpassing, by several times over, the power displayed when 1000 Dragons Lake attacked the Return to Ruins Sea.
Yet such a formidable strike, when it landed upon the mountain-protecting formation, failed to exert any significant pressure. "What a powerful Abyssal Pearl."
Witnessing this scene, a faint tremor passed through Eldrin’s brow.
This Nether Sea Pearl was a supreme treasure for defending against the netherworld, yet its offensive power could be said to be virtually nonexistent. Previously, when driven by the grand formation, it had relied almost entirely on brute force to smash its targets, forcing Lyra (Person Name) to fully activate the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron just to withstand it.
Now, under its full defensive power, the true might of this ancient treasure was finally revealed—capable of withstanding attacks at the half-step Celestial Immortal level.
Witnessing this scene, Daoist Tianyuan couldn't help but remark, "Can't we activate spatial spiritual treasures to infiltrate and deal with them?"
Eldrin shook his head and spoke, "Within the Blessed Land of the Abyssal Sea, there exists a supreme-grade, eighth-tier Heaven-Suppressing Divine Stone. Empowered by formation arrays, it seals the void."
"Without a top-tier spatial treasure of the eighth rank, it would be impossible for us to infiltrate undetected." Seeing this, everyone's brows furrowed slightly.
The Daoist of the Abyss pondered briefly before responding, "If that's the case, we have no choice but to launch a direct assault."
Once the decision to launch a forceful assault was made, everyone immediately unleashed their full power, channeling the might of the Pure Yang Celestial Flame Array to release boundless pure yang flames, engulfing the Serene Sea Blessed Land in an inferno.
Lyra and Eldrin unleashed their full power, summoning the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron and the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron, which descended with boundless world-shaking force.
Struck by such a blow, the Abyssal Sea Blessed Land finally began to sway unsteadily, giving off a sense that it might shatter at last. "Not enough yet."
Seeing that their strength was still somewhat insufficient, Eldrin ordered his men to bring forth 3 Annihilation Cannons.
The world-obliterating cannons were as massive as stars, each blast rivaling a full-powered strike from a Great Perfection Earth Immortal. Their relentless bombardment became the final straw that crushed the Abyssal Sea Blessed Realm.
No 1 knew how long the battle had raged, but with 1 final earth-shattering roar, the Abyssal Sea Blessed Realm was forcibly torn open. "The grand formation is broken."
Watching the grand formation being breached, all the deities revealed expressions of ecstatic joy.
Eldrin, however, sensed something amiss. He gazed at the crowd and hesitantly remarked, "The Abyssal Pearl draws power from a supreme blessed realm. In theory, its energy should be nearly limitless."
"Even if the power of this supreme blessed land is severely depleted, it shouldn't fall so quickly." Lyra murmured, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "Are you suggesting..."
Eldrin murmured slowly, his expression extraordinarily grave. "It seems that over half of this blessed land's energy has been drained away by something else."
"Intoning"
As if confirming his thoughts, a deafening dragon's roar echoed through the heavens. From the heart of the Abyssal Sea Blessed Realm, an eternal black dragon spanning hundreds of millions of miles coiled upward in an ancient, spiraling ascent.
Its scales were vaster than the stars, its serpentine dragon form coiled around the central black hole of the Styx Galaxy, as if hundreds of millions of stars revolved around it.
Primordial Netherdragon.
The Ancient Ruins Yin Sovereign slowly spoke, his tone somewhat parched, "A primeval underworld dragon that has cultivated the Taiyi Immortal Body, already half a step into the Celestial Immortal realm."
"You ants."
"Was it you who disturbed my slumber?"
At that very moment, the Primordial Netherdragon slowly opened its maw, its pupils radiating an abyssal glow that cast dread across the entire nether cosmos.
In that very moment, the assembly comprehended the origins of this Primordial Netherdrake.
It was revered as the Netherdrake Emperor, a Primal True Dragon born at the dawn of this universe’s creation. Forged from the nether essence of this underworld microcosm, it stood as 1 of the most ancient existences in the cosmos.
It had lived for countless millions of years, enduring from the dawn of antiquity to the present day. Even when the Heavenly Dao of the underworld cosmos collapsed, it had failed to claim its life.
"This method has existed since the dawn of the universe, the Primordial True Dragon."
Eldrin spoke slowly, his eyes blazing like torches as he gazed at the Primordial Netherdrake. "Your power appears to be at its zenith, yet the purity of your aura is utterly unsubstantial."
"If I'm not mistaken, you were severely wounded after the collapse of the Heavenly Dao in the Netherworld Small Universe," "Lurking within the Blessed Land of Abyssal Seas is merely for the purpose of recovering from your injuries."
Hearing this, everyone felt reassured and turned their gazes toward the Primordial Netherdrake, their faces lighting up with delight.
Had it been a primeval Netherdragon in its prime, today's encounter would have forced a retreat at best, with the most favorable outcome being heavy casualties, while the slightest misstep could have led to the entire force being annihilated.
Yet if it was a severely wounded Primordial Netherdragon, they at least stood a fighting chance. 「ROAR!」
Seeing through its facade, the Primordial Netherdragon's pupils emitted a frigid, piercing light.
He stared fixedly at Eldrin, then spoke with chilling indifference, "An ant wielding an Emperor's Weapon—you do possess remarkable qualities." "Yet you remain merely a Great Sage. Did you believe that by commanding a single Emperor's Weapon, you could defy the heavens and challenge an Emperor?"
"Today, I shall show you what it truly means to stand at the realm of a Great Emperor!"
Boom
With a roar that shook the great cosmos, the Primordial Netherdragon swept across heaven and earth, its tail coiling up a river of galactic stars as it struck forth.
"So powerful!"
Eldrin poured all his power into the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron, yet even with its divine protection, he found himself utterly overwhelmed by the might of the Primeval Netherdrake. The impact sent him hurtling backward through the air.
Fortunately, with the aid of the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron, Eldrin managed to block this strike without suffering severe injuries.
