Chapter 1531 : Demon God's Scheme

The Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits sought to aid her in tearing through the void, but how would the Phoenix Maidens of the Zeyan lineage allow him to succeed? They immediately activated their myriad Taiyi Immortal Treasures to suppress him.

Patriarch Xigeng even brought out the Ancient Talisman of the Great Yin, forcing Patriarch Wanling to take the defense seriously. "What a nuisance."

Seeing the Life Empress in peril, a flicker of coldness passed between the brows of the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor. For the first time, a trace of killing intent surfaced on his perpetually serene face. Yet just as his thunderous wrath was about to erupt, he reined back the murderous impulse in the blink of an eye.

A peculiar glint flashed in his eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the Myriad Laws Wondrous Tree to strike. Once again, the power of infinite divine abilities erupted at full force, an boundless tide of great supernatural powers drowning all in its path.

The Myriad Spirits Ancestor possessed boundless and profound magic power, acclaimed as the 1 with the most immense spiritual energy beneath the Celestial Immortal realm within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

With such profound and boundless magical power, further amplified by the Myriad Spirit Purification Bottle’s ability to enhance divine abilities, a single strike nearly tore through hundreds of millions of miles of the vast starry expanse, pressing down upon a dozen or so half-step Celestial Immortal demons until they could barely catch their breath.

"Now."

In that very instant, Eldrin seized the opportunity.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, he activated the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to tear open the sealed void, then in the same sweeping motion, summoned the 5 Elements Annihilation Divine Art to strike directly toward the Bixia Emperor.

Liuli Shenjun and Zixuan Daoren also sprang into action simultaneously. With a mere flick of their sleeves, they unleashed 1 devastating strike after another aimed at the nearest Quasi-Celestial Being.

That half-step Celestial Immortal was the transformed form of the ancient divine beast "Dang Kang," having cultivated an immensely powerful Taiyi Immortal Body. Yet, even he suffered a severe setback when suddenly ambushed by 3 other half-step Celestial Immortals.

The sudden ambush caught the "Dang Kang Ancestor" completely off guard. In the blink of an eye, a single strike pierced through his glabella, shattering his primordial spirit. With the obstruction eliminated, the Life Empress seized the moment to soar forward, swiftly reuniting with the group.

"Let's go."

High above in the firmament, when the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits witnessed this scene, he immediately raised his voice and declared.

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod. With a swift motion, he collected Patriarch Dangkang’s remains and immediately activated the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to tear through the fabric of space, vanishing without a trace.

Watching them depart, the Spirit Sovereign of Myriad Beings brandished the Wondrous Tree of 10 1000 Laws. In an instant, countless divine abilities rained down like a celestial barrage, blocking the pursuers' advance. With effortless grace, he then soared into the heavens and vanished.

"Hahaha, this old ancestor takes his leave."

After the departure of the Myriad Spirits Ancestor, only a single thread of unbridled laughter remained.

Watching them depart with such ease, the faces of the top-tier demon race experts darkened. "We've underestimated the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor."

The Mysterious Phoenix Maiden spoke slowly, her expression grave as she declared, "He truly lives up to his ranking as second on the Genesis Ranking. His combat prowess already approaches that of a Celestial Immortal powerhouse." "Indeed," the True Dragon Crown Prince nodded, though a trace of reluctance tinged his voice as he added, "His lethal techniques may not be the most exceptional, yet his area-of-effect abilities are truly extraordinary."

"If not for the Myriad Laws Wondrous Tree deriving its countless sublime techniques, even another being possessing the other 2 types of Great Origin foundations might not have been able to stop so many of us half-step Celestial Immortals."

Lord Xigeng, however, let out a cold sneer before speaking, "The other 3 Taiyi Foundations, though weaker in area-of-effect techniques, possess offensive power surpassing even that of the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor."

"If it were Dark Cloud Demon Lord or that 1 here today, we might be able to slay the Life Emperor, but I fear we would pay a tremendous price." Upon hearing this, a trace of solemnity surfaced on everyone's faces.

Although the Myriad Spirits Ancestor's magical power was vast and profound, it lacked overwhelming sharpness and force. The Myriad Laws Wondrous Tree also possessed unparalleled mysteries, yet it was insufficiently lethal, unable to easily slay a Half-Step Celestial Immortal.

Thus, the Myriad Spirits Ancestor was exceptionally formidable in group combat, yet his methods of slaughter lacked a certain sharpness.

If it had been someone as peerless in slaughter as Eldrin (Person Name), even if they had emerged victorious today, the price they paid would have been unbearably grievous.

The Phoenix Maiden of the Yuè Clan also nodded, yet her expression held a trace of hesitation as she remarked, "Though the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits appears lacking in martial prowess, I sense he is concealing something. During the battle just now, I even felt a flicker of lethal menace."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence.

A moment later, the Earth Emperor spoke with a contemplative expression, "The plan has failed this time. We were unable to eliminate the threat of the Spirit Clan in advance. Should we proceed as planned next?"

The demonic elders exchanged uncertain glances upon hearing this, with many appearing unaware of the scheme unfolding behind the scenes.

In the end, it was the True Dragon Crown Prince who broke the silence, "Within a microcosm, only 2 supreme treasures of cosmic origin can be nurtured—Creation and Annihilation."

"Among the humans, demons, and celestials, 1 faction must inevitably be eliminated. The Taixu Holy Son of the human race stands as the foremost prodigy in tens of thousands of years, a thorn in the eyes of the Celestial Immortals."

"Therefore, the Celestial Immortal powerhouses backing us have already negotiated terms with several divine clans' cave heavens. After we jointly eradicate the human race, each shall claim 1 Primordial Treasure."

"Once the deed is accomplished, the Cosmic Primordial Treasure shall belong to the Celestial Immortals backing us, while all remaining spoils will be ours to keep. They claim not a single coin." The Dragon Prince recounted leisurely, unveiling the conspiracy between the Divine Clan and the Demon Clan within this minor universe.

It turned out that during this journey to the microcosm, the Celestial Immortals behind the Divine Clan and the Demon Clan had long been in collusion. They sought to seize this opportunity to eliminate the Taixu Holy Son—a peerless human prodigy of the Twelfth Heaven—while also aiming to claim their respective shares of the Innate Treasures.

They had already agreed to let the demon race first eliminate the spirit race—this troublesome scourge. Once the 10-1000 Spirits Ancestor and the spirit race were out of the picture, they would then join forces to deal with the human race of this realm.

To prevent the human race from detecting their alliance, the God Clan did not intervene in this battle, merely maintaining covert vigilance against the humans.

Originally, their plan had been foolproof. They only needed to wait for the Spirit Tribe to be eliminated before joining forces to deal with the Human Tribe. With the Human Tribe facing 2 enemies alone, it would inevitably be a hopeless situation.

Yet no 1 could have anticipated that a mishap would occur in this very first step.

After understanding the cause and effect, all the Quasi-Celestial Immortals wore grave expressions.

The God of Nanxu took a deep breath before speaking, "Our original plan was to first annihilate the spirit race, then deal with the human race."

"Once the Human Clan and Spirit Clan are eliminated, we shall seize the 4 Spirits Star Domain, then locate and slay the Celestial Emperor of this universe. When the cosmos faces annihilation, we shall claim the ultimate treasure born of universal destruction."

"Although our plan has not yet come to fruition, fortunately our collaboration with the Divine Clan remains undisclosed."

"Next, we shall proceed with our plan to assault the 4 Spirit Star Domain. First, we slay those 4 Cosmic True Spirits, then seek an opportunity to join forces with the God Tribe—either to deal a crippling blow to the Human Race or eliminate the 10-1000 Spirits Ancestor."

The various demon clan powerhouses nodded upon hearing this. The Ancient Ruins Elder took a deep breath and declared, "In that case, let us prepare to take action."

Having made their resolve, the myriad demon clans immediately prepared to strike against the Primal Spirits of the Fourfold Cosmos beyond the boundless heavens.

At the same moment, Eldrin emerged beyond the Endless Starry Sky with the others.

The Myriad Spirits Ancestor arrived close behind, casting a glance at Eldrin and the Glazed Divine Lord before speaking, "I never expected that it would be the few of you who came to my aid this time."
