Chapter 1681 : Betrayal in the Celestial War

"Agh—"

In an instant, Elder of the Violet Flame Divine Clan let out a wretched scream, his soul utterly dispersed on the spot.

It all happened too suddenly. Before anyone could react, they realized the Elder of the Violet Flame Divine Clan had been annihilated, body and soul.

The remaining Celestial Immortal of the Nirvana Dragon Clan and Celestial Immortal of the Sun Clan were both startled. In a flash, they fled deep into the Void [the formless, empty space between realms].

Eldrin Chen attempted to seal the Void with the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, but he saw the Celestial Immortal of the Sun Clan, shielding Qiang Sun, activate an exceedingly Mysterious Profound Treasure Talisman [a powerful, single-use enchanted seal]. Empowered by its might, they instantly escaped the confines of the Yin-Yang Void Realm and vanished amidst the layers of the Heavenly Layers [the stratified celestial planes].

The Celestial Immortal of the Nirvana Dragon Clan also sought to flee. Alas, Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor entangled him for that crucial, fleeting moment, causing him to miss his only chance for escape.

And in that very moment, Eldrin Chen and Xuan Qi the Daoist closed in together, sealing his fate completely.

In his despair, the Celestial Immortal of the Nirvana Dragon Clan roared with fury and shock, "You! Xuan Qi, the Junior! To think you could be so treacherous!"

"Preposterous,"

Xuan Qi the Daoist sneered, his gaze cold and profound. "With the enmity between our clans spanning generations, did you truly believe I would ever genuinely cooperate with you?" Join our community of readers at @udio-novel.com.

As the words fell, Xuan Qi the Daoist stepped forth, soaring into the air, forcing the Celestial Immortal of the Nirvana Dragon Clan into a desperate, step-by-step retreat.

By this moment, with the betrayal of the Celestial Web Ancient Sect, all suspense had utterly drained from this war.

That Celestial Immortal of the Nirvana Dragon Clan held out for less than a hundred exchanges before being surrounded and slain upon the Void Heaven. As for the Half-Step Celestial Immortal powerhouses of the three great forces, save for a few among the Human Race, the rest were almost completely annihilated.

"It is over."

Once the great battle concluded, Eldrin Chen slowly let out a breath he had been holding.

He ordered the spoils of war to be gathered. Gazing upon the scene of total victory, a smile could not help but grace his features.

After the battle ended and the battlefield was fully accounted for, Eldrin Chen discovered they had obtained over one billion Immortal Source [a primordial energy source used by Celestial Immortals], countless Dao Source [a rare substance containing traces of the Great Dao], and a vast treasury of precious materials.

Among these, the most valuable prizes were six Innate Treasure [a supreme class of magical artifact born from the primordial chaos of creation].

These six treasures were: the 'Nirvana Dragon Immortal Armor', the 'Innate Violet Flame Sword', the 'Violet Radiance Heaven-Saber', the 'Violet Jade Immortal Vase', the 'Counter-Scale Ancient Sword', and the 'Coiled Dragon Ancient Pearl'.

Among these treasures, the Nirvana Dragon Immortal Armor, the Innate Violet Flame Sword, the Violet Jade Immortal Vase, and the Coiled Dragon Ancient Pearl were all Low Grade Innate Treasure.

The remaining Violet Radiance Heaven-Saber and Counter-Scale Ancient Sword were both Mid-Grade Innate Treasure [a type of magical artifact born from the world itself, possessing formidable power] of astonishing might.

Furthermore, there were also two Innate Dao Source [a primordial source of the Dao's principles, an item of immense value for cultivation], also objects of extraordinary worth.

Faced with such a staggering haul, Eldrin Chen naturally had no intention of hoarding it all for himself.

He produced the various treasures and said with a smile, "In this great battle, everyone contributed significantly. Let us distribute these Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the world itself, possessing innate power] according to the merits of your deeds."

Upon hearing this, no one voiced any objection.

This time, the defection of the Celestial Web Ancient Sect had been the primary cause of the enemy's rout, so their merit was naturally immense.

Seeing this, Xuan Qi the Daoist directly chose the Violet Radiance Heaven-Saber, that mid-grade innate treasure of slaughter.

Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor selected the Violet Jade Immortal Vase and one Dao Source [a condensed source of the fundamental principles of the Dao]. The Violet Jade Immortal Vase was a Bodyguard Supreme Treasure [a supreme defensive treasure], and the value of an Innate Dao Source went without saying.

The remaining individuals, seeing this, likewise exchanged for the items they desired.

And the Chen Immortal Clan also reaped tremendous gains, acquiring three treasures: the Coiled Dragon Ancient Pearl, the Counter-Scale Ancient Sword, and the Innate Violet Flame Sword, along with the remaining Dao Source.

As for the Nirvana Dragon Immortal Armor, it was taken in exchange by the Separated Flame Deity.

After the treasures were mostly divided and the crowd had dispersed, Eldrin Chen gathered with the members of the Chen Clan.

He handed the Innate Violet Flame Sword to Yvonne the Violet Consort and then spoke, "This time, we have completely secured the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [the vast and perilous sea region of the Western Qi Divine Abyss]. The resources we've obtained are beyond count. The grand formation to aid in the breakthrough can now begin to be planned."

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily taken aback. Qiyuan Chen spoke up, "To set up a formation capable of aiding your breakthrough, it would require at least nine Innate Treasure [treasures born from the primal chaos of heaven and earth] and eighty-one Grand Unity Immortal Treasure [powerful immortal-grade artifacts], not to mention an endless number of lower-grade treasures."

"Moreover, the power that could be gathered from just one Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea alone would likely be insufficient to encompass the needs of your breakthrough, would it not?"

Eldrin Chen nodded, yet replied with a faint smile, "While a full breakthrough is not yet possible, we can certainly begin the preparations in advance." This chapter appears courtesy of www . audio-novel.com.

"Furthermore, I can first use the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea as the foundational field to attempt constructing a smaller-scale formation. This could assist Lyra Jiang in advancing ahead of schedule to the realm of the Triple Taiyi Foundation [a supremely stable and powerful foundational cultivation stage]."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Similar to Eldrin Chen, Lyra Jiang possessed a foundation of equally formidable strength.

For such existences who have stepped into the Forbidden Realm [a legendary and nearly unattainable level of cultivation], the difficulty of achieving a perfect Triple Taiyi Foundation is exponentially greater.

For them, the key to achieving the breakthrough to the Triple Taiyi Foundation [a supreme foundational cultivation stage requiring perfect mastery of one's own power] was not auxiliary items like the Innate Taiyi Pill [a legendary pill that aids in achieving supreme foundational unity], but rather treasures and domains that could help them achieve complete mastery over themselves.

Understanding this, they knew preparations could truly begin for Eldrin Chen's breakthrough attempt.

Kael Chen pondered for a moment before asking, "How, then, should we proceed?"

"I have deduced the formation diagram. Deploy personnel to set up the formation according to it."

Eldrin Chen spoke with a smile, then produced a formation diagram and laid it before the assembly.

With the diagram in hand, the Abyssal Immortal Alliance sprang into action. All except those preparing to attempt the Triple Taiyi Foundation breakthrough threw themselves into the task.

Countless Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality] began forging Formation Tool [specialized artifacts used as nodes in a magical formation], while untold others traversed the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, surveying locations and Formation Eye [the core control points of a magical formation] for the grand array.

Thus time flowed on, and in what seemed a blur, three millennia slipped past.

Eldrin Chen had laid a Grand Supremacy Formation [a formation of ultimate power and scale] across the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, using three Innate Treasure [treasures born of primordial chaos], forty-nine Grand Unity Immortal Treasure [immortal treasures embodying the principle of supreme unity], tens of thousands of World-Opening Treasure [treasures with the power to cleave and shape worlds], and countless other Immortal Treasure [treasures forged by or for Immortals] as its Formation Eye.

Once the grand formation was complete, Lyra Jiang stepped directly into its heart and entered seclusion to forge her path toward the Triple Taiyi Foundation.

Eldrin Chen sat in solemn meditation outside the grand formation, personally safeguarding the process. In what seemed like a fleeting moment, an entire A Millennium Has Passed had slipped by.

Then, on this very day, a brilliant light erupted from within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [a vast and perilous sea in the immortal realm], trembling with unprecedented intensity before slowly receding and converging into nothingness.

Eldrin Chen looked up to see Lyra Jiang step gracefully from the formation's heart, her long gown flowing. Around her, divine halos shimmered, Illuminating All Heavens [a divine ability that radiates light capable of illuminating all realms], making her appear like a peerless Immortal Consort [a title for a supremely beautiful and powerful female immortal] descending to the mortal world, her bearing utterly transcendent.

"You have broken through,"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a glint of joy and anticipation in his eyes.

In that moment, even Eldrin Chen felt a palpable pressure emanating from Lyra Jiang.

As one who had opened the Twelfth Heaven [the twelfth and highest foundational realm in the Celestial Immortal cultivation system], and having now solidified her Triple Taiyi Foundation [an exceptionally rare and powerful triple-layered foundation at the Celestial Immortal realm], Lyra Jiang could not be said to have surpassed the Forbidden Realm [a legendary state of power beyond conventional cultivation realms], but she was undoubtedly a nearly invincible existence within its bounds.

Factoring in the Innate Magical Power [a primordial, heaven-defying power] transformed by her Lotus Platform [a sacred lotus-shaped platform used for cultivation and enlightenment], Eldrin Chen even suspected that Lyra Jiang's current strength might already eclipse that of an ordinary Third Heaven Celestial Immortal [a cultivator at the third major stage within the Celestial Immortal realm].

"Mm,"

Lyra Jiang gave a slight nod, stepping before him. "With this breakthrough," she said, her voice clear and resonant, "should we face another siege by Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a title for a supreme expert among Celestial Immortals], I will finally be able to lend you a true hand."

My head is pounding as if it might split, and these two chapters feel like a mere chronicle of events. But truly, the pain is overwhelming, my thoughts are muddled. I'll simplify this part of the plot. I'm going to sleep now. Find thousands of chapters at audio-novel-dot-com.
