Chapter 1518 : Raid on Phoenix Star

Seeing this, the Lord of the Ancient Ruins spoke, "Since the opening of the Microcosmos, both the dragon and phoenix clans within it have already withdrawn to the Phoenix Star Domain and the Crimson Dragon Star Domain."

"Even with our combined strength, it would be difficult to breach the guardian formations of 2 star domains in a short time. Might we request assistance from the human cultivators of this universe?"

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly before stating, "I shall personally seek an audience with the Celestial Sorrow Emperor. Since he has already agreed to cooperate with us, he will likely consent to our demands."

Determined to take action against the Ice Phoenix and Crimson Dragon bloodlines, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately dispatched an envoy to the Emperor's Star Nebula.

As anticipated, the Heaven-Mourning Human Sovereign agreed to his request, pledging to lend aid at the crucial moment.

Receiving the response from the Heaven-Mourning Mortal Sovereign, Eldrin immediately gathered everyone and set off for the Phoenix Star Domain.

To achieve victory in a single decisive strike, the group mobilized nearly all their forces, leaving only Daoist Jiuxu to guard the formation.

Among the dispatched powerhouses, there stood 2 at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm: Daoist Zixuan and Divine Lord Liuli.

Moreover, after Eldrin's breakthrough, with the 3-rune Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, now in his grasp, his overall combat prowess had likely brushed against the threshold of the Great Unity Realm.

The combat force at the Earth Immortal Perfection stage consisted of 4 individuals: Lyra (Person Name), Qing Ji, Seraphina Qu (Person Name), and Daoist Tianyuan. Among them, Lyra (Person Name), empowered by the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron, possessed strength equivalent to 3 Earth Immortal Perfection cultivators combined.

The remaining 8 Earth Immortals at the eighth-level combat strength consisted of 5 individuals: Kael (Person Name), Chen Ethan (Person Name), Chen Qiyuan, Yan Ziji, and Lila (Person Name).

This gathering of such formidable strength was almost equivalent to the foundation of 4 or 5 single-Dao Fruit Taiyi cultivators.

Observing the formidable experts around him, Eldrin felt considerable confidence in conquering the Phoenix Nebula.

Leading the group through the void, he soon arrived beyond the Nebula of the Immortal Phoenix. "This is the place."

Gazing upon the Starry Phoenix Domain before him, Eldrin’s eyes slowly opened, a trace of solemn contemplation flickering within them.

In the Phoenix Star Domain, countless stars were enveloped by formation arrays, clearly indicating the Phoenix Clan held profound hostility toward these outsiders.

After observing for a moment, the Glazed Divine Monarch’s eyes flickered slightly as he said, “Within this Celestial Phoenix Nebula, there once existed a supreme-grade blessed land of unparalleled quality.”

"Fortunately, the cosmic origin has been mostly depleted, and the Phoenix Ancient Star has already fallen to the rank of a superior blessed land. If we launch a forceful assault, we still stand a reasonable chance of breaching its defenses."

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly before speaking, "This formation of the Divine Phoenix Nebula harnesses the power of nearly half the Divine Phoenix Galaxy, far surpassing the Netherworld Microcosm Array of old."

"If my predictions are correct, they have already made contact with the Phoenix Heavenly Grotto."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s brows furrowed deeply.

The Starry Phoenix Nebula alone did not intimidate them. However, the Yuè Zhuó Phoenix Maiden of the Starry Phoenix Grotto-Heaven was a perfected Earth Immortal with dual Taiyi foundations, and she most likely possessed a Taiyi Immortal Artifact(Magic Treasure) safeguarding her destiny.

With such a supreme expert, coupled with the Ice Phoenix Empress of the Celestial Phoenix Nebula, they would likely suffer a devastating defeat if a true confrontation were to erupt.

After much deliberation, Eldrin spoke: "The Violet Phoenix Maiden is currently plundering the stars. The Ancient Emperor and Future Emperor of the human race in this realm will also intervene to prevent them from receiving reinforcements."

"So the Immortal Phoenix Grotto-Heaven and the demon race may not be able to provide reinforcements in a short time."

"But we must still make this quick, to avoid a direct confrontation with the Phoenix Fairy Grotto."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Daoist Zixuan stroked his long beard and spoke, "The Immortal Phoenix Nebula has only recently made contact with the outside world. Its current formation has undergone few modifications, so its power remains far from formidable."

"Let's charge straight in and make this quick."

As the words fell, the group concealed their auras with the Art of Deceiving Heaven, then slipped into the Phoenix Star Cloud using a spatial spiritual treasure.

After stepping into the Phoenix Nebula, they discovered that the Phoenix Demon Saint had already departed for the Ancient Phoenix Star, and not a single 1 of the Phoenix Great Saints had emerged.

"Quite adept at conserving 1's strength."

Unable to locate the Great Phoenix Sage, Eldrin furrowed his brow slightly.

He had originally thought that if he could find any late Foundation Establishment stage Immortal Phoenix Great Sages in the outer regions, he would simply slay a few and leave.

Now that their expectations had come to naught, they had no choice but to risk infiltrating the Phoenix Ancient Star for a decisive confrontation.

The group pressed onward, arriving unwittingly before the Ancient Phoenix Star. Eldrin gazed at the celestial body ahead, his brow furrowing slightly.

Witnessing this, Lyra (Person Name) could not help but speak up, "Within this ancient star, a spatial supreme treasure (Magic Treasure) anchors the formation, making it impossible for us to infiltrate."

"The only course now is to storm the Ancient Star by force."

Daoist Zixuan also gave a slight nod before speaking, "This Ancient Star Formation is formidable, and with the Ice Phoenix Empress guarding it, even with our combined strength, breaching it within a short time would be difficult."

"However, with our combined strength in a surprise assault, it should be sufficient to tear open a breach and enter."

Eldrin gave a solemn nod, his expression grave as he regarded the Glazed Divine Lord. "Let us breach the gap together. Once we enter, I must trouble you to hold off the formation arrays and buy us time to defeat the Ice Phoenix Emperor."

"Very well."

The Glazed Divinity's expression remained serene as he accepted this task.

Seeing this, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately joined forces with the others, launching a combined strike against the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Star Formation.

In that fleeting instant, dozens of star-shattering attacks tore across the void, instantly ripping apart the colossal Immortal Phoenix Ancient Star Formation.

"Let's do this."

Eldrin (Person Name) had barely landed when he led the crowd charging into the Ancient Phoenix Star.

In an instant, the formation array of the Ancient Phoenix Star stirred to life. A frost-wheel resembling a coiled phoenix descended with crushing force, unleashing a blinding immortal radiance that slashed toward the crowd.

Frostwind Heaven-Solidifying Wheel (Magic Treasure)

Eldrin's brow furrowed slightly, a trace of solemnity clouding his features.

The Ice Phoenix Sky-Condensing Wheel is 1 of the Divine Artifacts of this realm, a companion Divine Artifact to the Ice Phoenix Great Emperor. It is said to have been born from the authority of this universe, possessing immeasurable power.

At this moment, amplified by the formation's power, his full-force strike descended with crushing pressure—even an ordinary Half-Step Celestial Immortal would likely be unable to withstand it.

Fortunately, Glazed Divine Lord was no ordinary being, having opened 8 layers of celestial domains—a talent no weaker than that of the Extinction Thunder God or the Lord of the Celestial Prison Clan.

Facing such a strike, the Glazed Divine Sovereign flicked his sleeve and summoned a dazzling 7-colored silk ribbon.

With a sweep of its silken sleeve that unfurled across the heavens, it seized the Ice Phoenix Frost Sky Wheel, rendering the divine artifact completely immobile.

Taiyi Immortal Weapon.

Seeing the 7-colored silk subduing the 'Ice Phoenix Condensing Heaven Wheel', Eldrin was inwardly startled. He never expected that Sovereign Liuli actually possessed another Taiyi Immortal Artifact.

It must be known that the Divine Lord of Ye Ruins of antiquity, relying on his 9-Layered Heavenly Foundation and the Great Emptiness Sword of the Ruinous Heavens, had secured the 30-seventh position on the Primordial Genesis Ranking of the Qingcang Immortal Domain, surpassing 90-8 percent of all Quasi-Earth Immortals.

Thus, the vast majority of those with dual Taiyi foundations might not even possess a single Taiyi Immortal Weapon in their hands.
