Chapter 1519 : Confrontation at the Immortal Phoenix Star
What Eldrin Chen did not know was that the 「Seven-Colored Heaven-Scrolling Ribbon」 in Divine Lord Glaze's hand was bestowed by a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme cultivator who has ascended to the highest echelons of the Immortal Realm] of the Immortal Clam Race. Its power ranked it as a masterpiece even among Low Grade Supreme Unity Immortal Weapon [the lowest tier of the most powerful immortal weapons, forged with supreme unity principles].
Regardless, with this Taiyi Immortal Weapon [an immortal treasure of the Supreme Unity grade] suppressing it, the threat from the Formation [a complex array of magical symbols and energies designed for defense, attack, or other purposes] was finally resolved completely. They could finally free their hands and devote their full efforts to confronting the Ancient Immortal Phoenix Star.
At the very moment the group charged into the Ancient Immortal Phoenix Star, the powerful beings upon the ancient star finally reacted.
"Audacious! Who dares invade the Immortal Phoenix Imperial Star?"
In a Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time from Buddhist cosmology, less than a second], an immensely majestic aura surged upwards from the Ancient Immortal Phoenix Star.
Following closely, a man clad in snow-white White Robe [a white robe] ascended into the sky with a single step. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a palm strike to suppress the intruders.
Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed. He immediately channeled the Primordial Chaos Limitless Rule [a supreme cultivation art governing the boundless principles of primordial chaos] to meet the strike with a palm of his own. Yet, he felt a world-shaking force crash into him, sending him hurtling backwards. A piercingly cold energy invaded his organs.
Fortunately, Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a physique tempered to near-invulnerability by primordial chaos] was exceedingly Valerius [powerful]. The Five Divine Spirits [five divine spiritual entities residing within his body, each representing a fundamental element or principle] within him stirred their Mana [spiritual energy used to power spells and techniques] in unison. Instantly, a surge of Chaos Miasma [a corrosive and primal energy born from chaos] ground all foreign energies to nothing, expelling and refining that extreme cold.
"Beware! This is the Ice Phoenix Indestructible Body [a legendary physique as resilient as immortal ice, said to be inherited from ancient phoenixes] of the Taiyi Realm [the Supreme Unity Realm, a pinnacle stage of cultivation]!"
Having stabilized his form, Eldrin Chen circulated the Rule of Life [the fundamental Dao principle governing vitality and restoration] to heal his injuries while raising his voice in warning. Join our community of readers at audio–novel.com.
Upon hearing this, Zixuan the Daoist immediately abandoned the notion of a direct clash of force. Instead, he channeled his Innate Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure to counter the assault.
The Ice Phoenix Indestructible Body is one of the legendary Nine Phoenix Constitutions. Cultivating such a physique to the Taiyi Realm grants one the power to dominate their peers within the same cultivation realm.
Zixuan the Daoist's Primordial Foundation is built upon the Violet Firmament Divine Thunder Dao Principle. His Physical Body remains a relative weakness, naturally ill-suited for a head-on confrontation against an Immortal Phoenix's indestructible form.
Fortunately, his Lifebound Supreme Treasure, the "Violet Firmament Divine Thunder Sword", possesses slaughtering power so immense it could startle the heavens and make ghosts weep—a force potent enough to threaten even the Ice Phoenix Indestructible Body.
Seeing this, Eldrin Chen immediately summoned the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron to press down with its immense weight, coordinating with Zixuan the Daoist to suppress the Frost Phoenix Great Emperor.
"Hmm?"
Faced with Fighting One Against Two, the Frost Phoenix Great Emperor immediately felt a surge of pressure.
A slight frown creased his brow as he glanced towards his Ice Phoenix Heaven-Freezing Wheel, only to find it completely overwhelmed and at an absolute disadvantage, relentlessly suppressed by the Seven-Colored Heaven-Scrolling Ribbon.
To make matters worse, almost simultaneously, Lyra Jiang and the other eight Earth Immortal [powerful cultivators who have attained the Earth Immortal realm] joined the fray, launching a coordinated assault against him.
Fortunately, at that very moment, the Phoenix Race forces stationed on Ancient Immortal Phoenix Star reacted. Over two hundred Demon Race Sages [powerful demonic cultivators] soared into the sky, charging towards the heart of the battlefield.
"Perfect timing."
"My sons, follow your Emperor to annihilate the invading foe!"
Seeing the reinforcements arrive, Frost Phoenix Great Emperor finally let out a sigh of relief.
Most of these Immortal Phoenix Demon Sage were only at the early or middle stages of the Eighth Rank, their combat power somewhat weaker than that of an Earth Immortal. Yet, there were still over twenty Demon Race Great Sages among them who had reached the Heaven-Opening Late Stage.
An assault by so many Heaven-Opening Rank powerhouses was enough to cause significant trouble for the group.
However, seeing this, Eldrin Chen felt a slight sense of reassurance. He glanced at Lyra and the others before speaking, "Leave these to you all. End this swiftly."
"Understood."
Lyra Jiang and the others understood his intent. They immediately surged forward to engage these Immortal Phoenix Race Demon Sages.
The primary objective of their journey was precisely the Inner Core of these Immortal Phoenix Great Sage. Now that the opportunity presented itself, they did not hesitate to strike.
In the span of a mere dozen clashes, Lyra Jiang and her companions had already slain thirty Immortal Phoenix Demon Sage, among them six Great Sage Rank Phoenix.
"How can these People from Beyond the Realm be so formidable?"
After merely a few moments of clashing, the heart of Frost Phoenix Great Emperor sank like a stone.
Judging by the auras displayed by Lyra Jiang and the others, most were only at the sixth or seventh level of the Earth Immortal realm. By the standards of the Yang Plane Microcosm, this would equate to the level of Top-Rank Sages or the Great Sage Realm.
Yet the combat prowess they exhibited far exceeded all expectations.
Within the Yin Plane Microcosm, those at the Eighth Rank Late Stage are called Great Saint, while those at the Eighth Rank Great Perfection are termed Quasi-Emperor powerhouses.
But now, every single one of them displayed strength at least comparable to the Eighth Rank Great Perfection—the Quasi-Emperor Rank of this world. For uninterrupted reading, go to audio—novel.com.
The root cause of this disparity lay in the fact that the Minor Universe lacked the Heaven-Opening Method [a supreme cultivation art that opens the path to the heavens]. The Saint Realm cultivators of this world were significantly weaker than their Earth Immortal counterparts of the same rank.
As one of the Ten Direction Great Emperors, Frost Phoenix Great Emperor wielded a portion of the Minor Universe's authority, granting her combat power nearly on par with a Half-Step Celestial Immortal. However, ordinary Demon Sages [powerful demonic cultivators] could not achieve this.
"Cleave!"
Even as these thoughts raced through the mind of Frost Phoenix Great Emperor, Lyra Jiang was already engaging three Phoenix Race Quasi-Emperor [Phoenix Clan cultivators at the Quasi-Emperor rank] single-handedly.
He saw it unleash the Divine Ability Immortal Treasure to strike across all directions, finally seizing the opportunity to suppress a formidable foe with the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron. In the span of a few breaths, a Phoenix Race Quasi-Emperor was crushed into oblivion within the Void [the formless, boundless expanse between realms].
Seeing that continuing the battle in this manner would likely lead to an unfavorable turn, a look of grave seriousness finally surfaced in the heart of Frost Phoenix Great Emperor.
He defended with all his might against the combined assault of Eldrin Chen and Zixuan the Daoist, then ignited a Spirit Talisman [a paper charm imbued with spiritual power to convey messages or trigger effects] to send the news out.
At the same moment, far within the Endless Void, a woman clad in a violet long skirt frowned slightly between her brows, as if sensing something.
A young maiden by her side, noticing this, could not help but ask, "Saintess, what is it?"
The Violet-Skirted Woman shook her head and then spoke, "The Heaven-Man Resonance Talisman [a talisman that creates a resonance between heaven and man, used for urgent long-distance communication] has been ignited."
The maiden's expression turned profoundly grave. "When you left the Heaven-Man Resonance Talisman on the Ancient Immortal Phoenix Star, you warned them not to ignite it lightly unless faced with a Life and Death [a crisis of mortal peril] crisis."
"Indeed."
The Violet-Skirted Woman gave a slight nod, her gaze turning icy. "I shall see for myself who dares to move against those my Immortal Phoenix Grotto-Heaven [a blessed paradise realm associated with the Phoenix] has set its sights upon."
As her words fell, the Violet-Skirted Woman prepared to take her leave.
Yet in the next instant, she halted once more, her expression turning grave as she gazed into the depths of the Void [the formless, primordial emptiness that precedes existence]. There, amidst the boundless Heavenly Layers [the stratified celestial planes of reality], a majestic figure wielding a battle spear strode through the void towards her.
And from another direction, an ancient mirror hovered high above the Nine Heavens Above [the highest celestial realms], radiating a light that illuminated all the heavens. "The Antiquity-Piercing Spear [a legendary spear said to pierce through the ages] and the World-Severing Mirror [a divine mirror rumored to have the power to sunder worlds]," she murmured.
The Violet-Skirted Woman spoke slowly, her eyes darkening. "For this one person, the Three Human Great Emperors [the three supreme sovereigns who rule over humanity in this realm] have dispatched two of their number today. They truly honor This Sovereign [a formal title used by a supreme ruler or deity]."
"It seems the one who set this in motion has calculated everything perfectly."
High upon the Void Heaven [a celestial domain of pure emptiness], beneath the desolate ancient mirror, a figure sat cross-legged amidst a sea of shimmering starlight. This was Ronan.
An endless flow of time swirled around this person. He seemed to be seated at the very terminus of the River of Time and Space [the metaphysical stream that carries all of existence from past to future], as if meditating from within a future era, casting his gaze across an immeasurable span of years.
"The Yuezhuo [a mythical, noble phoenix-like bird], is said to be one of the legendary Five Phoenixes from Beyond the Realm [a group of five supreme phoenix progenitors from outside the known cosmos]."
"With power such as yours, it warrants the two of us joining forces."
The majestic being holding the Spear of Antiquity also advanced, his form shrouded in layers of mist, exuding an aura of profound antiquity.
He seemed to have stepped forth from the distant Antiquity Era [a primordial epoch lost to time], descending along the River of Time and Space [the metaphysical stream that carries all of existence from past to future] with the sole purpose of vanquishing a peerless adversary.
