Chapter 1541 : Yin Yang Crucible
It turned out that this treasure was fully named the Primordial Yin-Yang Dao Unification Gourd (Magic Treasure), born from the intertwining of the cosmic Yin and Yang energies and the Primordial Qi during the genesis of this universe. As a treasure formed at the dawn of creation, it possessed neither offensive capabilities nor defensive properties, yet it harbored within it the fundamental power of the Primordial Dao.
Legend has it that within this artifact lies a universe in microcosm. Refining it allows 1 to synchronize with the cosmic Dao, temporarily elevating 1’s cultivation base, magical power, immortal physique, and Dao fruit by a minor realm.
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor's avatar, bolstered by the Primordial Yin-Yang Unity Vase, experienced an unprecedented surge in magical power, immortal physique, and Dao fruition. It underwent a great metamorphosis unlike any before, unexpectedly gaining a touch of primordial profundity.
"Not good!"
Understanding the profound mysteries within the Innate Yin-Yang Cauldron of Unity, the group was instantly struck with immense shock, their faces revealing unparalleled terror. Unfortunately, by the time they realized it, it seemed already too late.
"Slaughter All Mortals."
Suddenly, the Celestial Emperor's avatar let out a furious roar.
He merged his being with the cosmic power of the Great Dao, harnessing boundless dao principles to strike across all directions. Unleashing a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering supreme demonic art, it was unexpectedly a Mystic-grade demonic supernatural power.
With but a single strike, he utterly obliterated a Half-Step Celestial Immortal. "God-Slaying Execution."
As the Celestial Emperor’s incarnation roared, another demonic divine ability descended, utterly annihilating the Southern Marsh Deity—a being with dual Taiyi foundations. Witnessing this scene, the crowd trembled with a mix of shock and terror, their hearts stirring with thoughts of fleeing for their lives.
At that very moment, the Myriad Spirits Ancestor abruptly made his move. He channeled the Myriad Laws Wonder Tree, causing it to blossom into countless wondrous techniques that surged forward, intercepting the Heavenly Emperor’s avatar’s full-force strike.
After completing this step, his expression turned gravely solemn as he declared, "The power of an innate treasure is immense. Even at full strength, he can sustain it for no more than a quarter of an hour. If we unite our efforts, we will surely hold him at bay."
Yinghuang Nü and the others immediately activated their Great Immortal Artifacts to block the assault, their expressions still gravely solemn as they declared, "Everyone, the cosmos is on the verge of being refined into nothingness. Fleeing now would only grant us a fleeting respite."
"Our only recourse is to join forces and slay it."
Hearing this, the others also recognized the soundness of their reasoning and immediately summoned their boundless divine powers and world-sundering treasures to resist the Heavenly Emperor’s incarnation. As the group prepared for a desperate battle, the expression on the Heavenly Emperor’s incarnation grew solemn.
After all, he was merely an incarnation. Though empowered by the Primordial Yin-Yang Cauldron of Unity, his combat prowess had reached the early-stage Celestial Immortal realm. Yet he possessed no Primordial Treasure, not even a reliable Taiyi Immortal Weapon to wield.
Relying solely on physical strength and divine abilities to contend against dozens of Half-Step Celestial Immortals, and even a being like the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor, was truly a bit of a stretch.
At this moment, the life-or-death determination of the assembled experts imposed immense pressure upon the Heavenly Emperor's avatar. Witnessing this, the Heavenly Emperor's avatar gazed upon the 2 Great Primordial Unity foundations with eyes that grew even colder.
Among all the powerful figures present, those wielding the Taiyi Immortal Artifacts posed the greatest threat to him.
Among these beings wielding the Taiyi Immortal Weapons, the Ancestor of Myriad Spirits possessed spiritual power as profound as an early-stage Celestial Immortal, making him an extremely difficult target to eliminate. In contrast, several Divine Sons and Daughters from the mystic realms were existences he had far greater confidence in suppressing.
With this thought, the Celestial Emperor's incarnation gritted his teeth, enduring the combined strike of the crowd as he charged toward Ruo Jinyao Shenzi (Divine Son). "I shall slaughter every last god."
"Not good."
Witnessing the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation charging forth, Divine Son Jinyao's face drastically changed. He immediately activated the Taiyi Essence Gold War Halberd to block the assault.
But the Celestial Emperor's incarnation let out a cold laugh. With a single palm strike, he sent the Taiyi Essence Gold War Halberd flying, then summoned a sword energy that pierced through the Golden Radiance Divine Son's brow. "Ah—"
A wretched scream tore through the air as Divine Son Jinyao was sent flying, blood spraying from his lips. The primordial spirit between his brows began to dissolve into specks of light, gradually merging with the Great Dao as it scattered across heaven and earth.
In this moment, the peerless Divine Son, who had shaken the 6 Western Heavenly Domains and was hailed as 1 most likely to ascend as a Celestial Deity, thus met his demise within the miniature cosmos. Simultaneously, Eldrin (Person Name) covertly activated the Yin-Yang Void Mirror through the power of the formation, drawing the Taiyi Essence Gold War Halberd into the treasured mirror. "Annihilate All Mortals."
With a single move, he annihilated the Golden Radiance Divine Son. The Celestial Emperor’s incarnation then channeled another profound divine art to confront the foe.
His profound-level divine ability was exceptionally powerful, much like Eldrin's Primordial Chaos True Qi, and was divided into 2 moves. Among them, "Slaughter All Mortals" was a marvelous technique for mass destruction—a single strike could divide into tens of thousands of lethal swords to confront the enemy.
'Slaying the Celestials' condenses boundless baleful aura into a single point, transforming it into a peerless killing sword capable of severing divine beings.
At this moment, the Celestial Emperor's incarnation unleashed the Annihilate All Mortals, Sweeping the 6 Realms technique. Billions of sword auras inundated the boundless void, suffocating the numerous Earth Immortals. In a single strike, dozens of Earth Immortal Patriarchs perished.
Slaughter blotted out the starry skies; blood and qi churned through the celestial river.
An unprecedented battle erupted with unparalleled ferocity. Deep within the cosmos, the combatants unleashed an ancient conflict of such magnitude that it nearly shattered the entire starry expanse. As time wore on, several Half-Step Celestial Immortals successively fell in battle, while those who remained bore injuries almost without exception.
As the fierce battle grew increasingly intense, the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits exchanged a glance with the Grand Void Saint Son, then finally gritted his teeth. "Face your doom, fiend!"
In the blink of an eye, the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits gave a sharp nod. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a blinding ray of 9 Heavens Immortal Light that tore through the void. As this divine radiance emerged, an endless river of celestial brilliance flooded the boundless starry expanse, crashing down upon the incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor to suppress it.
"10 1000 Aeons of Emptiness?"
The moment he laid eyes on this celestial river of light, Lord Black Cloud's gaze darkened slightly, revealing a trace of solemn gravity.
For over 80,000,000 years, the Venerable Soul-Sovereign had shaken the heavens and earth with his might. He possessed 3 Supreme Primordial Treasures: the Soul-Sanctifying Vial (Magic Treasure), the All-Artifacts Divine Tree (Magic Treasure), and the Eon-Void Blade (Magic Treasure). Among these 3 treasures, the Eon-Void Blade stood paramount, an object that had long festered in Lord Blackcloud's thoughts like a thorn of dread.
But when he saw the Sword of 10 1000 Aeons’ Emptiness, he couldn't help but sneer coldly, "Refined through the Supreme Immortal Light, no wonder it serves as your trump card. Pity I was long prepared for this."
As the words fell from Darkcloud Demon Lord’s lips, he summoned boundless black clouds to envelop his form—this was none other than his innate divine ability, the ‘Black Miasma Cloud Barrier’.
This Black Miasma Cloud Barrier was also a Mysterious-grade divine ability, cultivated from boundless baleful energy.
Under the empowerment of the Primordial Yin-Yang Union Vessel, the Dark Cloud Demon Lord channeled his innate magic power, sufficient to withstand assaults from primordial-grade treasures. The Myriad Spirits Ancestor’s Myriad Aeons of Emptiness, forged through the refinement of the Taiyi Immortal Light, stood as a mid-grade Taiyi immortal treasure.
This treasure could materialize and vanish at will, wielding immense power that should have been enough to threaten even a Celestial Immortal. Yet now, it still failed to breach the Shroud of Black Miasma. "Now."
At that very moment, within the Netherworld Microcosm, Eldrin (Person Name) declared in a resonant voice.
Taoist Zixuan immediately activated the Li Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword. In that instant, amplified by the formation, the sword erupted with world-shaking, slaughterous sword qi.
It shone upon the entire cosmos like the first light at the dawn of the universe, carrying an aura of annihilation that could obliterate all things, and shot straight toward the Celestial Emperor’s incarnation. "Oh no."
