Chapter 1687 : Clash of Primordial Heirs

Latest Website:

Eldrin Chen showed not a trace of fear. With the Primordial Unity Qi [a supreme defensive technique that forms an impenetrable shield of primordial energy] protecting his body, he flicked his sleeve and countered with the Supreme Unity Ethereal Void Sword Qi [a peerless sword art that unleashes sword energy capable of cleaving through the void itself].

In this hasty exchange, they clashed over thirty times, and Eldrin Chen had already seized overwhelming dominance.

"Clang—"

After several dozen more exchanges, a clear and melodious sword cry rang out. Eldrin Chen used the Primordial Chaos Weapon-Derivation Art [a divine art that manifests ancient weapons from the chaos of creation] to materialize nine primordial weapons that cleaved through the sky, striking his opponent until his bones were nearly shattered to pieces.

"Impossible!"

Onyx Imperial Son of Tai Cang wore an expression of utter disbelief. He had never been defeated by a peer in his entire life. He never imagined that in less than a hundred moves, he would already be outmatched by Eldrin Chen.

At this thought, he spoke with immense shock and fury, "Who are you? From which Ancient Sect [a venerable and powerful cultivation sect with a history spanning millennia] of the Human Race do you hail as a direct lineage disciple?"

"I am the one who will end you."

Eldrin Chen spoke calmly, then pressed his palm down in a crushing motion, sending his foe flying once more, blood spraying from his mouth. Continue reading this story at site: audio-novel.com.

This Onyx Imperial Son of Tai Cang truly lives up to his status as an Imperial Son of the Tai Cang Divine Clan. Having stepped into the Forbidden Realm [a legendary state of combat prowess surpassing conventional realms], his battle strength is such that even three or four ordinary Triple Taiyi Foundation [cultivators who have established three flawless Taiyi-grade foundations] joining forces might not necessarily be his match.

However, with only this level of power, I'm afraid he merely approaches Lyra Jiang in strength, let alone being able to contend with Eldrin Chen.

One must understand, Lyra Jiang opened the Twelfth Heaven [the twelfth and highest tier of the foundational Heavens], which in theory represents the pinnacle of the Forbidden Realm. Now, having just established her Triple Taiyi Foundation, her Cosmos Primordial Source [the foundational, primordial energy source of one's inner world] has not yet accumulated sufficiently, and her Mana [the refined spiritual energy used to cast techniques] reserves are also not yet full.

Wait a few more years. Once Lyra Jiang refines enough of the Innate Peach of Immortality [a legendary spiritual fruit that grants longevity and profound cultivation benefits], and her Primordial Source and Mana reserves are completely filled to perfection, and she continuously tempers her three Taiyi Flawless Foundation [a perfect, unblemished cultivation foundation], she will still have immense potential for further growth.

At this moment, seeing his comrade was no match for Eldrin Chen, the Crimson Imperial Son of Tai Cang understood the gravity of the situation.

He could no longer afford to deal with his current opponent. He crossed the Firmament [the celestial vault or sky] and came to join forces with the Onyx Imperial Son of Tai Cang to jointly withstand Eldrin Chen.

Lyra Jiang and Verdant Consort and the others initially prepared to intervene and block him. However, after catching Eldrin Chen's glance, they instantly grasped his intent.

They immediately freed their hands and turned to face the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the very threshold of the Celestial Immortal realm] from the Demon and Divine Races.

Eldrin Chen, Fighting One Against Two, faced the assault of two Forbidden Realm experts, yet showed not the slightest sign of falling into a disadvantage.

Logically speaking, as beings who have all stepped into the Forbidden Realm, their combat strengths should be relatively close. Who among them is truly that much weaker than another?

Yet the combat prowess Eldrin Chen displayed before their eyes shattered everyone's preconceptions. Fighting alone against two Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivators on the very threshold of ascending to true immortality], he not only held his ground but fought with a ferocity bordering on madness.

After nearly a thousand exchanges in their fierce three-way battle, Eldrin Chen used his Chaos Heaven Halberd to force Crimson Imperial Son of Tai Cang back, then unleashed his ultimate killing move.

In a single Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time], the Gale God-Slaying Gourd shot forth. A blade-light of pure slaughter pierced through the Heavenly Layers [the stratified realms of heaven] and drilled straight through the glabella [the point between the eyebrows, a vital spiritual center] of the Onyx Imperial Son of Tai Cang.

"Pfft—"

The Onyx Imperial Son of Tai Cang instantly coughed up blood, his Divine Soul [the spiritual core of a high-level cultivator] cleaved cleanly in two.

Yet, in that same instant, an ancient pearl hidden within his sundered Divine Soul shattered, causing his Nascent Soul Immortal Embryo [the nascent soul, the embryonic form of an immortal's true spirit] to miraculously mend itself.

"Disastrous!"

In that moment, the face of the Onyx Imperial Son of Tai Cang turned deathly pale.

Had it not been for that single Innate Strange Treasure [a treasure born of heaven and earth with unique, often life-preserving properties] within him taking the death-blow for him, shielding his Natal True Spirit [one's inborn, fundamental spirit] and halting the corrosive advance of the Innate Slaughter Aura [a primordial aura of pure annihilation], he would have already perished.

"Withdraw!"

In an instant, the Twin Imperial Sons of Tai Cang could no longer afford to fight and immediately fled deep into the Void [the formless, empty space between dimensions].

These Primordial Divine Clan Imperial Son [heirs of an ancient divine lineage] were indeed extraordinary. Even though Eldrin Chen had long since laid down the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a treasure that seals space with the power of yin and yang], using the might of an Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the primal forces of the world] to lock down the Void, the two still managed to pierce through the Void and escape in a flash.

"A pity."

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen could not help but sigh inwardly.

He did not continue the pursuit, instead focusing on channeling the Yin-Yang Void Realm to envelop the celestial domain. The great battle still raged on.

After the Twin Imperial Sons of Tai Cang and the two guardian Celestial God [a powerful deity-level cultivator] of the Tai Cang Divine Clan departed, the war tipped completely out of balance. The story continues at audio-novel`com.

Other Demon and God Races Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivators on the very cusp of achieving true immortality], seeing the situation turn dire, also sought to flee for their lives. Unfortunately, they lacked the profound methods of such a Great Luo Ancient Sect [an ancient and supremely powerful sect].

The allied forces pursued and hunted for a long time, ultimately slaying one hundred and thirty-seven Half-Step Celestial Immortal. Only the core direct disciples of the six great Ancient Sect and a handful of other Half-Step Celestial Immortal managed to escape with their lives.

Once the great battle concluded, the Great White Celestial Maiden hosted a feast for everyone within the Great White Mountain Range.

Ever since the fall of the Great White Grotto-Heaven Chief Sword Scion [the foremost sword prodigy of the Great White paradise], this Great White Celestial Maiden had become the chief successor of the Great White Grotto-Heaven.

Now, Great White Celestial Maiden had also successfully cultivated the Triple Taiyi Foundation [a supreme foundational stage representing the unity of essence, energy, and spirit]. She personally hosted a banquet for everyone, her face beaming with joy as she spoke.

"This time, I am truly and deeply grateful for your assistance, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator]."

Everyone smiled slightly, a shared sense of satisfaction evident on their faces.

Zixuan the Daoist shook his head, a trace of regret in his voice. "A pity. We failed to eliminate the Twin Imperial Sons of Tai Cang, and nine other Triple Taiyi Foundation cultivators managed to escape."

The First Holy Son of the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm of pure yang energy] offered a faint smile. "Figures like the Twin Imperial Sons of Tai Cang, or the direct heirs of an Ancient Sect, possess extraordinary means of self-preservation from the very start. Eliminating them is no simple feat."

The others nodded in agreement. In this battle, they had slain one hundred and thirty-seven Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivators on the very threshold of the Celestial Immortal realm], yet among them, only four possessed the Triple Taiyi Foundation.

In particular, those direct heirs of the Ancient Sect. Seeing the Tai Cang Imperial Son shatter the Void [a profound spatial art] to flee, they had all escaped with their lives at the first opportunity; scarcely a single one had perished in the tribulation.

Considering this, the Wind Cloud Dao Scion from the Wind Cloud Dao Palace spoke. "Within the Dao Tribulation [a karmic trial ordained by the Dao], each individual must slay a peer of equal strength, or several slightly weaker powerhouses, to resolve their portion of the calamity."

"Those who suffered this great defeat, if they managed to claim any victories, will likely enter seclusion to cultivate until they reach the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of Celestial Immortals], withdrawing from the tribulation's entanglement."

"But for those who failed to sever their karmic debt... I fear they will become a lingering trouble in the days to come."

Qiyuan Chen's gaze flickered slightly as he nodded calmly and said, "If they dare to return, we shall simply continue to annihilate them."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen could not help but feel a subtle shift in his gaze.

Over these years, after the Abyssal Immortal Alliance [a powerful coalition of immortal cultivators] successively vanquished great foes, they seized an incalculable amount of Refined Gold and Arcane Silver [a rare and precious spiritual metal].

Seizing this opportunity, Qiyuan Chen refined and absorbed a vast, immeasurable quantity of Refined Gold and Arcane Silver, causing his Physical Body [the fortified physical form of a high-level cultivator]'s defensive power to reach a level where it could withstand direct blows from a Mid Grade Taiyi Immortal Weapon [a powerful immortal-grade weapon]. It seemed he was not far from breaking through a certain limit and stepping into the Forbidden Realm [a legendary and nearly unattainable state of physical cultivation].

With this thought, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze to the others and declared, "With the Twin Imperial Sons of Tai Cang [the twin heirs of a powerful celestial emperor] now defeated and in retreat, the tribulation befalling the Western Pole Celestial Domain [one of the major celestial realms] has come to an end."

"Next, it is time to sweep across the Western Pole Celestial Domain."

As Eldrin Chen's words fell, the Human Race immediately set about sweeping across the Six Celestial Domains of the Western Pole [the collective name for the six major realms of the Western Pole].

Within a Dao Tribulation [a cosmic calamity ordained by the Heavenly Dao], those who had not yet become Tribulation-Bearer [individuals fated to shoulder the brunt of a cosmic calamity] could find no refuge. As the Human Race swept across the land, the forces of the Demon and God Races [the collective term for demonic and divine beings] in the Western Pole Celestial Domain collapsed like a mountain of defeated soldiers. In a mere few hundred years, they were utterly swept away.

Aside from those who had already fulfilled their destined role in the tribulation, the Demon Immortal [immortal-level demonic cultivators] and Divine Spirits [deified beings of immense power] of the Western Pole Celestial Domain were nearly emptied out, with at least seventy to eighty percent having perished.

Through this great war, Eldrin Chen discovered that across the entire Six Celestial Domains of the Western Pole, the concentration of Immortal Spirit Qi [the highest grade of spiritual energy, vital for immortal cultivation] between the Heavenly Layers [the stratified planes of existence within the celestial realms] had surged by nearly tenfold.
