Chapter 1496 : Silent Annihilation Sword, Azure Dragon's Demise

"Insolence!"

As Eldrin (Person Name) prepared to face 2 opponents alone, the Azure Dragon Lord summoned the Ancient Azure Dragon Cauldron to suppress him. Meanwhile, the Dark Roc King’s eyes turned icy as he sneered coldly, "Seeking death!"

As the words fell, he unleashed his heavenly blade-like wings in a forceful downward slash, their immense sharpness as if to cleave apart the heavens and the void. Faced with such a surprise assault from the 2, Eldrin’s expression remained unwaveringly calm.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a palm strike that swept horizontally toward the Azure Dragon Ancient Cauldron, sending the sacred artifact hurtling through the air.

"Impossible!"

Witnessing this scene, Azure Dragon Lord’s face revealed an expression of utter astonishment.

To clash against a world-splitting supreme treasure with mere physical strength was nearly a myth. Since ancient times, only those who had cultivated the Great Unity True Body could achieve such a feat.

The sight of Eldrin achieving this feat left Azure Dragon Lord and Dark Roc King utterly incredulous.

Seizing this moment, Eldrin suppressed the backlash within him and abruptly summoned the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron, unleashing its power to suppress the Dark Roc King.

At the critical moment, the Dark Roc King attempted to flee for his life. Yet Eldrin moved faster, channeling the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand to seize the creature and instantly suppress it within the Crimson Dragon Cauldron of World Subjugation.

"Save me."

Suddenly suppressed by the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron, the Dark Roc King let out a cry of despair.

The Azure Dragon Lord sought to intervene, but it was already too late. While channeling the ancient cauldron to refine the Dark Roc King, Eldrin simultaneously engaged the Azure Dragon Lord in combat with his Primordial Indestructible Body.

After merely a few dozen exchanges, the Dark Roc King could no longer withstand the power of the ancient cauldron and was utterly annihilated within the void.

Witnessing the death of the Dark Roc King, a flicker of retreat finally crossed Azure Dragon Lord's mind.

He shot a glance at Eldrin and realized he was no match for the man. Without hesitation, he prepared to disengage and flee. *Clang!*

But at that very moment, from within the endless void, a blindingly brilliant sword aura of annihilation swept across, piercing directly into the soul of the Azure Dragon Lord and obliterating him from existence between heaven and earth.

Then, a figure clad in an imperial robe woven of lightning strode through the air. With a mere lift of his palm, he suppressed the Azure Dragon Ancient Cauldron, then continued forward without so much as a glance at the fallen Azure Dragon Lord’s remains.

He strode to the center of the battlefield, then fixed his gaze on Eldrin and declared, "If I were you, I would step aside now." "Annihilating Thunder God."

The moment he saw the newcomer, Eldrin’s heart sank, and he immediately summoned the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron to shield himself.

This man was none other than the Thunder God of Eternal Silence, a peerless existence who had stepped into the half-step Celestial Immortal realm. Although he had only cultivated a single Taiyi Dao Fruit, his prowess in slaughter ranked among the pinnacle within the Taiyi realm.

With but a single strike, he vanquished the Azure Dragon Lord, revealing the sheer terror of the Annihilating Thunder God's power.

You must understand, although the Azure Dragon Lord was caught off guard and had not recalled the Azure Dragon Ancient Cauldron to protect himself, he was, after all, an existence at the Great Perfection stage of the Earth Immortal realm.

Such combat prowess was actually annihilated with a single strike to the primordial spirit—even an ordinary half-step Celestial Immortal would find this exceedingly difficult to accomplish.

Thinking of this, Eldrin felt a chill in his heart. He glanced at the God of Silent Extinction and asked, "Senior, if you came to obstruct the Dao, why did you slay the Azure Dragon Lord?"

"4 100 1000 years ago, the Dragon King of the Western Abyss pierced through my chest with a single strike. Tell me, should I not have slain him?"

The Silent Thunder God spoke slowly, then gazed toward the secluded meditation chamber of the Violet Mystic Elder and said, "For millions of years, the Violet Mystic Elder has been revered alongside me."

"Today, should he wish to set foot in the Great Unity Realm, he must first pass through my tribulation."

Eldrin nodded, his expression turning extremely grave. "If I were you, I'd be fleeing for my life right now," he said. "With the Azure Dragon Lord fallen, there's no telling if that 1 might cast aside all decorum and intervene personally."

The Silent Thunder God nodded slightly before speaking, "No matter. It would take the Western Abyss Dragon King at least 3 Shichen (6 Hours) (Time & Distance) to arrive here." "As long as you step aside, 1 Shichen (2 Hours) (Time & Distance) is more than enough to eliminate Daoist Zixuan (Person Name)."

Eldrin's expression remained placid as he waved a dismissive hand.

He gestured for everyone to retreat into the formation, then calmly stated, "I have accepted another's commission, and must faithfully fulfill my duty." "If I were to step aside now, my lifelong credibility would be shattered."

"Oh?"

"Do you not know that refusing to withdraw today means making an enemy of me?"

The Silent Thunder God strode forth, treading upon the sea of clouds with sword in hand, as strands of killing intent slowly gathered.

Eldrin understood that the God of Silent Annihilation was gathering sword energy, and a world-shattering thunderous strike was about to descend with devastating force.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin pushed the Earthen Sovereign Bell, the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron, and the Primordial Chaos True Qi to their absolute limits before speaking.

"Your humble servant dares not obey!" Yin

In the blink of an eye, the roar of thunder and the song of the sword echoed in harmony, as a dazzling, peerless sword aura cleaved through hundreds of millions of trillions of li of void, seemingly intent on splitting the entire sea in 2.

In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron was sent flying backward from the impact.

Close behind, the Eldritch Earth Sovereign Bell was split open, a deep sword scar branded upon its surface. The Primordial Chaos Unitary Qi True Aegis, impervious to 10 1000 calamities, was instantly extinguished beneath this single sword stroke.

He swiftly deployed 3 layers of defensive measures, yet the residual force of the attack remained razor-sharp, slashing ruthlessly upon the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body. Alas, such a formidable strike had ultimately reached its limits, failing to pierce through the protective mist enveloping the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.

"Pfft."

Struck by this sword strike, Eldrin (Person Name) spat blood and was sent flying backward, yet he used the momentum to retreat into the Violet Heaven Dao Palace. "Hmm?"

Discovering that his full-powered strike had failed to even graze Eldrin’s physical form, the God of Silent Extinction let out a faint, startled exclamation.

He cast a glance at Eldrin, his pupils involuntarily contracting slightly before he shook his head and remarked, "What a pity. Your physical body is indeed formidable, but cultivating the Taiyi Immortal Body will be a 100 times more difficult for you than for an ordinary person."

"Unless a supreme-grade grotto-heaven spares no expense in supporting you, you have no hope of achieving the Taiyi Immortal Body in this lifetime."

Without a word, Eldrin immediately channeled all his energy into activating the grand formation, summoning the Black Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron to shield the Violet Heaven Blessed Land. Only then did he let out a slight sigh of relief.

The Thunder God of Annihilation before him truly lived up to 1 who had stepped into the Great Perfected Immortal realm. Wielding the power of Annihilation Divine Thunder's Dao principles, his lethal prowess could likely rival that of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal with dual Great Perfected foundations.

Had Eldrin not seized the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss and the Fruit of Myriad Tribulations back then, the likelihood of this individual achieving dual Li Fire foundations would have exceeded 90 percent.

Thus, the current God of Annihilating Thunder must possess at least dual Taiyi foundations. Coupled with the might of the Taiyi Thunder Abyss 10-1000 Calamities Sword, his combat prowess is likely formidable enough to shake the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, establishing him as a peer to figures like Lord Ye Xu.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin pushed the Black Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron to its limits and declared, "With me operating this ancient Black Dragon Cauldron to form the defensive array, I'm afraid even Your Excellency won't be able to breach the defenses of this Violet Heaven Dao Palace."

"Your Excellency, it would be wiser to preserve your strength. I suggest you flee before the Dragon King of the Western Abyss makes his move."

"Is that so?"

The Eyes of the Annihilating Thunder God turned icy as his immortal sword gathered the mists of the 9 heavens, a sword intent that could shake heaven and earth brewing within. "Endure 3 strikes from me, then we shall speak."
