Chapter 1305 : The Violet Firmament's Descent

A Six Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived six heavenly tribulations, a pinnacle existence] is no ordinary being. Even among the nine Half-Step Earth Immortals [cultivators on the verge of becoming true Earth Immortals] of the Demonic Tribe, only two were Six Tribulations Immortals.

The fall of such a Six Tribulation Demon Immortal [a demonic cultivator who has survived six heavenly tribulations] directly altered the tide of this battle.

With Skywind the Daoist and Lyra Jiang now freed from their engagements, the situation for the Demonic Tribe swiftly deteriorated.

Not long after, the Azure-Scaled Dragon Serpent and the Ironclad Alligator Dragon perished under the combined assault of the allied forces. The remaining five Demonic Tribe Half-Step Earth Immortals found themselves unable to hold the line, utterly routed and fleeing in disarray.

Witnessing the battle's collapse, the Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Ancient Ancestor [an ancient progenitor of the Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon lineage] finally cast aside all restraint. His expression turned frigid as he summoned a divine weapon wreathed in violet lightning and hurled it down from the Nine Heavens [the highest celestial realm].

This divine weapon was named the Violet Firmament Thunder Dragon Mace. Its form resembled a coiled True Dragon, its entire body engraved with intricate Dao Patterns [mystical inscriptions embodying the principles of the Dao] of purple thunder dragons. It was the sole Innate Heaven-Opening Treasure [a supreme treasure born from primordial chaos, capable of cleaving heaven and earth] possessed by the Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Ancient Ancestor.

This was a Mid-Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure. When wielded by the Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Ancient Ancestor, its might surpassed even that of the Duskfall Celestial Wheel by a significant margin.

Now, as it descended with cataclysmic force, it sent the Duskfall Celestial Wheel flying backward and struck Solara with devastating power, causing her to cough blood and be sent hurtling through the air.

"Disaster!"

Seeing this, the hearts of the allies sank. If Solara were to be defeated and fall, then even if they managed to annihilate the remaining Demonic Tribe forces, they would likely face utter defeat themselves. Continue your cultivation journey at audi0-n0vel.c0m.

Seeing the situation turn dire, they could no longer afford to completely annihilate the Demonic Tribe and the Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has partially transcended the mortal realm but not fully ascended to Earth Immortal]. They all swiftly intervened to lend Solara a hand.

That Skywind the Daoist promptly summoned his Duskfall Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda [a pagoda-shaped magical treasure capable of suppressing celestial forces], blocking a strike from the Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Ancient Ancestor.

Lyra Jiang also disengaged, unleashing her Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a cauldron artifact empowered by a crimson dragon's essence to stabilize realms] against the Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Ancient Ancestor, forcing him to divert his remaining strength to defend. This finally relieved the pressure on Solara.

Seizing this precious moment to catch her breath, Solara finally regained her composure, a flicker of lingering fear crossing her features.

Her momentary distraction over the death of her comrade had thrown her formation into disarray. Had it not been for the swift aid of the others, she would have suffered a grievous blow.

"We cannot continue fighting like this," she declared.

Surveying the overall battlefield, Eldrin Chen felt a subtle weight settle in his heart.

Though Solara had not sustained any mortal wounds in the battle thus far, her reserves of Mana [the spiritual energy used to power magical arts and techniques] were already depleted by more than half.

In contrast, the Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Ancient Ancestor possessed vast Heavenly Layers [the foundational layers of power within a high-level cultivator's dantian or spiritual core]. The World-Opening Power [a primordial divine ability used in the creation or stabilization of worlds] he had accumulated over countless years far surpassed Solara's reserves, allowing him to fight on for much longer.

If the battle dragged on, even with the assistance of Lyra Jiang and Skywind the Daoist, Solara would likely prove no match for this Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Ancient Ancestor.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin Chen surveyed his surroundings, seeking a method to break the deadlock.

This [a powerful demonic cultivator] was difficult to deal with, and Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Ancient Ancestor was even harder to slay. He decided to seek a breakthrough by targeting the Five Elements Celestial Dragons and Ancestor White Nether.

"This Ancestor White Nether, it is said, was transformed from a Bone Serpent of the Nether [a spectral serpent born from netherworld energies], and his cultivation has also reached the Third Level Earth Immortal [a high stage of Earth Immortal cultivation]. He will likely be difficult to kill."

"The Five Elements Celestial Dragons each command one of the Five Elements Power [the fundamental forces of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth]. When they join forces, they form a Five Elements cycle Rule [a self-sustaining cycle of elemental energies], making their Mana [spiritual energy for casting arts] inexhaustible and their combined power no weaker than a World-Opening Treasure [a legendary artifact of immense power]."

"An ordinary Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] would find it hard to slay them, but perhaps I can deal with them." In the span of a lightning flash, Eldrin Chen had formulated a strategy in his heart.

In that fleeting instant, Eldrin Chen unleashed a palm strike. From within his Five Viscera [the five internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine], the power of a Supreme Grade Earth Vein [a pinnacle-grade spiritual land formation] erupted forth. A torrent of majestic Geng Metal Power [the sharp, unyielding power of the Metal element] sent Taiyou Ao flying backward.

Having struck a blow against Taiyou Ao, Eldrin Chen did not press the advantage. Instead, he used the momentum to whirl away, his killing intent now aimed at the Five Elements Celestial Dragons.

"You dare!"

Seeing Eldrin Chen charge toward the Five Elements Celestial Dragons, Taiyou Ao immediately disengaged to provide support.

Yet, with perfect tacit understanding, Earth Spring Ancient Ancestor stepped forward, exchanging opponents with Eldrin Chen.

"Clang!"

In that instant, Eldrin Chen swept his sleeve forward. The Heavenly Separated Twin Swords instantly merged, transforming into a single strand of World Creation Sword Qi [a condensed blade of sword energy] that cleaved downwards, aimed directly at the Five Elements Celestial Dragons.

With the Mana [spiritual power and cultivation level] Eldrin Chen now possessed, the might unleashed by the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords Union was truly staggering. Even an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a cultivator who has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] would not dare to receive it head-on, let alone these Five Elements Celestial Dragons.

The Five Elements Celestial Dragons exchanged a glance, then moved with flawless synchrony. Together, they summoned five dazzling Immortal Sword [swords forged with immortal power].

Each of these five Immortal Sword was a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest quality within the Immortal Treasure grade]. Under their combined power, the swords fused into one, transforming into a single Five-Colored Celestial Wheel that clashed fiercely with the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords.

The moment he saw the Five-Colored Celestial Wheel, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and a cold sneer touched his lips.

Having fought this great battle to this point, he had already discerned the full extent of the Five Elements Celestial Dragons's techniques. His strike now was made with absolute confidence.

In that same breath, Eldrin Chen unfurled his sleeve once more. A blinding, colorless immortal light soared into the sky, firmly capturing and holding the Five-Colored Celestial Wheel in its grasp.

"Disaster."

Witnessing this scene, the Five Elements Celestial Dragons felt their hearts lurch, a silent cry of alarm echoing within.

Alas, it was too late. Their Five Elements Celestial Dragons nature, which harmonized the Five Elements [the five fundamental energies of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth], was fatally countered by the Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine light that suppresses the five elemental forces]. They were utterly and completely restrained by Eldrin Chen.

With one move seizing the Five Elements Celestial Wheel, Eldrin Chen swept his sleeve and unleashed another palm strike to suppress them. A sky-obscuring Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand [a colossal hand formed from primordial chaos energy] cleaved downwards, forcing the Five Elements Celestial Dragons into a desperate, full-power defense from the very first clash.

"BOOM!"

Immediately following, a blindingly brilliant Five-Colored Divine Thunder [a thunderbolt imbued with the power of the five elements] struck with devastating force, shattering the dragons' Protective Aegis [a defensive energy shield] and sending them reeling through the air, blood spraying from their wounds.

"My life ends here!"

With the Five Elements Celestial Dragon Grand Formation broken, the hearts of the five dragons plummeted. Without their formation, their combined combat power was merely at the level of a Four Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived four heavenly tribulations]. How could they possibly withstand Eldrin Chen now?

They watched as Eldrin Chen strode forward, an unstoppable force. The Geng Metal Power [the potent, sharp energy of Geng Metal, one of the heavenly stems] from his lungs surged into his fist. With a single punch, he reduced one of the five dragons, the Azure Dragon, to a cloud of dissipating fragments.

Among the Five Elements, Metal overcomes Wood. This Azure Dragon was aligned with the Wood element. Facing Eldrin Chen's full-force strike, saturated with boundless Geng Metal Power, it was instantly vanquished, its form dissolving as its Dao extinguished.

"ARGH!"

With one of the Five Elements Celestial Dragons [powerful dragon-like demonic beasts embodying the five elements] lost, the battlefield's balance shifted instantly.

None had anticipated that Eldrin Chen's methods would be so overwhelmingly domineering, nor that his timing would be so swift, ruthless, and precise—too fast for anyone to react.

He had merely unleashed three Divine Ability [supreme supernatural techniques]: the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand, the Five-Colored Divine Radiance, and the Five Elements Divine Thunder. Without even resorting to a World-Opening Treasure [a legendary artifact of immense power], he had already suppressed and slain the Five Elements Celestial Dragons.

This left everyone utterly astonished. Even Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Ancient Ancestor could no longer remain seated calmly.

"This youth's combat prowess... it seems he has already stepped into the realm of an Eight-Calamity Immortal [an immortal who has survived eight heavenly tribulations]," Netherus thought, his heart shaken, his eyes burning with intense light.

One must understand that an Eight-Calamity Immortal was far, far beyond comparison with a Seven Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived seven heavenly tribulations].

If a Seven Tribulations Immortal could face a First Level Earth Immortal [the foundational stage of Earth Immortal cultivation] without fear, even possessing the potential to slay one, then the combat strength of an Eight-Calamity Immortal ranked among the very pinnacle even within the ranks of Early Stage Earth Immortal [cultivators in the early phases of Earth Immortal cultivation].

The Dao Source [the condensed essence of one's cultivated Dao, the source of an immortal's power] within such an Immortal was more precious than that of many Earth Immortal Progenitor [ancient, foundational Earth Immortals]. If he could slay a single Eight-Calamity Immortal, he would have at least a fifty percent certainty of advancing into the Ninth Rank Immortal [the ninth and highest rank of immortal, having survived nine tribulations] realm.

"Kill!"

After that momentary shock, Netherus understood the situation had changed.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, he gathered the full might of his World Creation [the foundational power used to create and sustain a cultivator's internal world] cultivation base. An immense surge of this primordial force erupted forth, striking Earth Spring Ancient Ancestor with such devastating power that the ancient one was sent reeling through the air, coughing up great gouts of blood.
