Chapter 1533 : Kui Ox Divine Drum

Coupled with the support of the companion Great Immortal Artifact, Kui Bull Heavenly Drum, he even gained the qualification to contend against top-tier experts with 3 Great Immortal foundations.

Such earth-shattering combat prowess left everyone present in awe. Among them, only the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor remained as steadfast as Mount Tai, whereas even the Liyan Divine Spirit dared not confront him directly.

"Wretched fiend, cease your impudence!"

Seeing the Thunderfire Kui Bull descend into a frenzied rage, the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits finally furrowed his brow slightly and resolved to unleash his full power.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, a palm descended to suppress all beneath. A colossal hand, vaster than the entire starry river, pressed down with world-shattering might capable of erasing all existence. Despite the Raging Thunderfire Kui Bull’s frenzied resistance, it remained utterly unable to break free.

"Perfect timing."

Witnessing the might of the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor, who single-handedly suppressed the frenzied Thunderfire Kui Bull, the crowd instantly revealed expressions of delight. Without hesitation, everyone unleashed their signature techniques in a fierce assault, striking the Thunderfire Kui Bull with a barrage of attacks.

"Moo"

In an instant, the roar of thunder surged through the 6 directions.

The Thunderfire Kui Bull, enraged by the pain, unleashed a cataclysmic power. In an instant, it shattered the colossal hand of 10 1000 spirits and, harnessing boundless dao principles, summoned an endless sea of lightning that drowned the entire starry expanse.

"Not good."

Witnessing the Thunderfire Dull Bull’s desperate strike, Eldrin’s expression turned slightly cold.

In haste, he unfurled the Primordial Chaos Qi True Aegis, shielding those around him, while the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor and the others also exerted their full strength to withstand the boundless power of the annihilating thunderbolts.

The boundless cataclysm of thunder drowned the starry expanse, its fury enduring for what felt like countless epochs. When at last all fell into stillness, Eldrin discovered the entire firmament had been shattered through.

At the location where the Thunderfire Kui Bull had been, only the skeleton of a primordial colossal beast remained. "It's dead."

Eldrin took a deep breath, only then realizing that his magical power had been depleted by nearly half.

The nearby immortals were also faring poorly. The Blaze Deity and Daoist Zixuan had sustained minor injuries, while earthly immortals like Lyra (Person Name) appeared notably pale, their combat strength visibly diminished.

Only the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor remained unshaken, appearing completely unscathed. "Fortunately, no 1 was harmed."

Seeing that no 1 had fallen, Eldrin took a deep breath.

He said nothing more and instructed everyone to gather the remains of the Thunderfire Rhombus-Ox.

They did not immediately head for the Kui Bull Blessed Land, instead concealing their auras as they stood amidst the starry void, quietly waiting for something. Sure enough, not long after, several figures tore through the void, emerging from the depths of space.

Eldrin cast a glance and realized they were all beings at the half-step Celestial Immortal realm, clearly drawn by the intensity of the great battle. Originally, every 1 of them had come hoping to seize a share of the spoils.

But when they spotted the Myriad Spirits Ancestor and the Life Sovereign, along with hidden experts like the Glazed Divine Lord—all Half-Step Celestial Immortals concealing their true identities—they wisely cupped their hands in salute and withdrew.

After sending away 7 or 8 half-step Celestial Immortals in succession, Eldrin waited a while longer until it became clear no more would arrive. Only then did he declare, "The troubles have been dealt with. Now it's time we divide the spoils."

Elder Wanling gave a slight nod and said, "In that case, let us proceed inside and take a look." With those words, he strode toward the Kui Bull Blessed Land, soon arriving at its deepest reaches.

Within this blessed land, the group searched around and soon discovered numerous treasures of immense value, including top-tier supreme celestial treasures. Before long, they all sat cross-legged within the Kui Ox Blessed Land, their faces glowing with profound delight.

"The spoils from this venture are all here. Some of these treasures can enhance our combat strength and should be distributed first to bolster our capabilities." Within the grand hall, Eldrin (Person Name) produced the various treasures, his expression placid as he spoke.

Everyone nodded in agreement, their gazes involuntarily drawn to the array of treasures before them.

This time, after 2 great battles in the Ancient Domain of Life and the Ancient Domain of the Kui Bull, the treasures they had seized could be said to be exceedingly abundant. Among the various rare curios obtained, there were 2 Supreme Unity Treasures: the Supreme Unity Immortal Fruit and the Kui Bull Heavenly Drum.

There are 4 Primordial Chaos Treasures: the Primordial Chaos Gourd, the Heaven-Ascending Pure Qi, the Tumultuous Heaven Axe of Dangkang, and the Southern Li Fire Essence. Among them, the Primordial Chaos Gourd is a supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), whose value rivals even that of the Great Unity Rare Treasures.

In addition, there were 2 physical bodies at the Taiyi realm, each capable of yielding at least several types of eighth-tier supreme-grade materials such as 'Inner Core,' 'Leather,' and 'Bones.'

And the number of treasures further down was simply staggering.

Eldrin understood how precious these treasures were and spoke up, "The Myriad Spirits Ancestor has contributed the most, so it is only fitting that the Ancestor makes the first selection."

Wanling Laozu (Person Name) shook his head and spoke, "You have shown me kindness. Consider today's battle as my way of repaying the favor. I shall not take these treasures."

"How could this be?"

Eldrin shook his head and quickly replied, "Our Patriarch possesses the greatest combat prowess and has contributed the most."

"If not for your intervention, we would likely have had to pay a tremendous price to defeat the Thunderfire Kui Bull, let alone intimidate the lurking villains and secure the treasure." "Indeed." Daoist Zixuan also nodded in agreement before speaking. "You should claim the treasure first."

Hearing this, the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits finally gave a slight nod.

Unexpectedly, he directly took the Primordial Qi Gourd and said with a smile, "This Primordial Qi Gourd Tree is a supreme-grade Heaven-Opening Spiritual Root. Should it ever develop spiritual awareness, it may very well ascend to become a mighty Celestial Immortal."

"Even if it fails, it should still give birth to a Chaos-Birth Supreme Treasure, which would be quite a remarkable artifact."

At this point, the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits declared, "The Life Empress and I shall claim this artifact. The remaining treasures shall be divided amongst yourselves—this old man has no more use for them."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, understanding that the Myriad Spirits Ancestor was deliberately conceding benefits to them.

The Myriad Spirits Patriarch should have already cultivated 3 Grand Unity foundations, so the Grand Unity Immortal Fruit would be of little use to him. Moreover, the Thunderbull Divine Drum was fundamentally incompatible with his attributes. Nevertheless, it remained a treasure of the Grand Unity tier.

Although the Qi Calabash was a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), both nurturing sentient intelligence and ascending to become a Primordial Ancient Tree were as difficult as scaling the heavens. Crossing this chasm would be no easy feat.

Seeing this, Eldrin turned his gaze toward the remaining treasures.

Among the remaining treasures, the Great Immortal Peach of Primordial Unity and the Heavenly Drum of the Kui Bull were undoubtedly the most precious. However, this time, the contenders included luminaries such as the Glazed Divine Lord, the Flame-Severing Deity, and the Mystic Violet Daoist. These 2 peerless artifacts of Primordial Unity would scarcely suffice for distribution among such esteemed figures.

After much deliberation, Eldrin spoke: "The distribution of various treasures should prioritize enhancing our strength first."

"In my view, the Thunderbull Heaven Drum contains the Dao principles of thunder and lightning. It would be best to first entrust it to Fellow Daoist Zixuan for refinement. As for the Southfire Essence, it should be given to Fellow Daoist Liyan to elevate it into his Lifebound Treasure." Upon hearing this, both the Liyan Divine Spirit and Zixuan Daoist gave slight nods of agreement.

Seeing this, Eldrin spoke up once more, "Fellow Daoist Zixuan has obtained the Taiyi Immortal Artifact. Its value far exceeds his contributions, so he will need to make some compensation in the future."
