Chapter 1579 : Slaying the Dragon

The Demon Lord possessed numerous supreme demonic treasures such as the 3 Demons Slaughtering Immortals Sword Array, the Banner of 10 1000 Souls, and the Bell of 10 1000 Demons. Any 1 of these could be considered extraordinarily powerful. If that were all, it might have been manageable, as the group was no pushover either. The most critical issue was that the Demon Lord was now overwhelmingly powerful, his strength comparable to an Earth Immortal who had survived 8 heavenly tribulations. If a cultivator with a single Taiyi foundation could be considered a 4-tribulation Earth Immortal, then 1 with a dual Taiyi foundation would be at the 7-tribulation Earth Immortal level, while a triple Taiyi foundation would place them in the 9-tribulation Earth Immortal realm. The Demon Lord's power, rivaling an 8-tribulation Earth Immortal and even half-stepping into the 9-tribulation domain, far surpassed that of dual Taiyi foundation cultivators. He could effortlessly suppress 7 or 8 single Taiyi foundation experts by himself. If not for Eldrin and the others' extraordinary abilities, even 5 ordinary half-step Celestial Immortals would have already been defeated by now. At this moment, Eldrin and Xuan Yu Immortal were jointly resisting the Banner of 10 1000 Souls and the Bell of 10 1000 Demons, with Qing Ji and 3 others activating primordial treasures to assist. Yet, they still couldn't gain the upper hand. Seeing they couldn't suppress the Demon Lord, Eldrin's expression grew increasingly grim, and he finally decided to hold nothing back. With a sweep of his sleeve, he produced a dazzling auric battle spear, radiating overwhelming power, and fiercely pressed toward the Demon Lord. "A Taiyi Immortal Weapon?" The Demon Lord's expression darkened slightly. With a flick of his sleeve, he activated the Bell of 10 1000 Demons to deflect the Galaxy Star Sand Sword and moved to suppress Eldrin. Knowing his magical power was insufficient and that even summoning the Auric Taiyi Battle Spear might not withstand the mighty Bell of 10 1000 Demons, Eldrin charged forward with the spear in hand. The deities within his 5 viscera unleashed their power simultaneously, divine might sweeping through the void as he struck the Bell of 10 1000 Demons with tremendous force. "Boom—" A deafening roar echoed as the Bell of 10 1000 Demons was sent flying, its ancient chime resonating through the cosmos. Eldrin was thrown backward, countless streams of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. "The path of physical sanctification?" Witnessing this, the Demon Lord immediately recalled the Bell of 10 1000 Demons and pressed down on Eldrin once more. The bell chimed profoundly, like a primordial clock from the dawn of the universe descending. The terrifying shockwaves pierced through the very void itself. Eldrin channeled all his power into the Auric Taiyi Battle Spear to resist, his eyes blazing with intense light. With another sweep of his sleeve, he merged the Sky-Severing Twin Swords seamlessly. With a sharp clang, he sent the Bell of 10 1000 Demons flying again. "Good opportunity." Seizing the moment Eldrin blocked the bell, Xuan Yu Immortal's eyes blazed with immortal light. He activated the 9 Heavens Galaxy Star Sand Sword, splitting it into countless star sand sword energies that surged through the infinite dimensional void, forcibly annihilating nearly half of the myriad demonic souls within the Banner of 10 1000 Souls, finally turning the tide slightly. "Roar—" Just then, a dragon's roar reverberated through the void. From the endless emptiness, a colossal dragon brimming with boundless baleful aura tore through dimensional space, arriving in this infinite void. It was the Primordial Desolate Dragon, who had torn through the void to locate the Demon Lord's breakthrough site. Arriving with immense killing intent, it immediately lunged at Lila and the others, intent on devouring them. "Not good, it's the Primordial Desolate Dragon!" At this critical moment, Eldrin's expression changed drastically. He activated the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand to restrain the Primordial Desolate Dragon. The Demon Lord pressed his advantage, continuously driving the Bell of 10 1000 Demons toward Eldrin, forcing him into retreat while laughing maniacally, "You will all die!" "Oh no." Xuan Yu Immortal's heart sank. He hurriedly summoned the Starry Feather Fan to block the Bell of 10 1000 Demons but was instantly forced into retreat. The Demon Lord's current magical power was too immense, and with the Banner of 10 1000 Souls and the Bell of 10 1000 Demons as his ultimate weapons, even Xuan Yu Immortal's exceptional talent couldn't match the Demon Lord's peerless might. 6 of his 9 avatars had already been destroyed. Seeing the dire situation, Seraphina Qu, while fending off countless demonic cultivators with her 7 Extremities Soul-Slaying Sword, said with grave seriousness, "Focus on the main enemy. Leave the Banner of 10 1000 Souls to us." Upon hearing this, Qing Ji, Yan Zi Ji, and Lila activated their primordial treasures, actually managing to suppress the severely damaged Banner of 10 1000 Souls slightly. Seeing this, Xuan Yu Immortal finally freed up some energy. Gathering the 9 Heavens Galaxy Star Sand Sword, he focused entirely on resisting the Ancient Bell of 10 1000 Demons. Meanwhile, Eldrin finally took a deep breath and extricated himself from the pincer attack. With a sweep of his sleeve, he brandished the Auric Taiyi Battle Spear and engaged the Primordial Desolate Dragon in fierce combat. Rather than relying heavily on magical power, Eldrin leveraged his powerful physical body to wield the Taiyi Immortal Weapon, engaging in an epic duel with the Primordial Desolate Dragon. On 1 side was the physically invincible Primordial Desolate Dragon, on the other was the unprecedented Chaos Indestructible Body. Their clash was earth-shattering from the very start. "Rumble—" As they continued to exchange blows, unprecedented roars echoed through the dimensional void. The endless emptiness was split asunder, filled with boundless chaotic energy. The power of dimensional space decayed, giving birth to 1 vast primitive world after another, each spanning hundreds of millions of miles. In an instant, these nascent worlds were reduced to dust, obliterated by the aftershocks of their battle, leaving nothing behind. "Kill!" After over a 100 exchanges, Eldrin fought with near madness but realized he still couldn't overcome the Primordial Desolate Dragon. Understanding that his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body alone couldn't completely destroy the dragon, Eldrin could no longer afford to worry about magical power consumption. He fiercely merged the Sky-Severing Twin Swords into a single, ultimate strike that pierced the Primordial Desolate Dragon's body, leaving a deep gash on its reverse scale. Immediately after, with another sweep of his sleeve, Eldrin summoned a dazzling ancient sword that soared into the air. The sword, golden in hue, radiated boundless imperial aura. As Eldrin channeled his power, it emitted a light that illuminated the entire cosmos, ultimately transforming into a sword beam that struck precisely on the damaged scale. This single strike forcibly split the reverse scale, causing it to detach from the Primordial Desolate Dragon's body. "Die now!" In a flash, Eldrin mustered all his strength and hurled the Auric Taiyi Battle Spear, aiming for the vital spot 7 inches from the reverse scale. The spear pierced straight through the Primordial Desolate Dragon. "Roar—" The Primordial Desolate Dragon let out a cry of agony, thrashing violently. But with its vital spot damaged, it was ultimately beyond saving. Eldrin drove the Sky-Severing Twin Swords deep into the wound along the gash. As brilliant sword beams erupted from within its body, he delivered the final, fatal blow, completely slaying the Primordial Desolate Dragon. "Ah, you deserve death!" The Demon Lord was utterly astonished that Eldrin, in a mere flash, had successively deployed the 'Human Emperor Sword,' the merged Sky-Severing Swords, and the Auric Taiyi Battle Spear to completely slay the Primordial Desolate Dragon. Although the Primordial Desolate Dragon's combat power was only equivalent to a single Taiyi foundation, its physical body was nearly indestructible. Even a dual Taiyi foundation expert would find it extremely difficult to destroy it completely without a lethal Taiyi Immortal Weapon. The Demon Lord had assumed that even with a Taiyi Immortal Treasure, Eldrin couldn't possibly eliminate it so quickly. He never imagined that Eldrin actually possessed 2 full Taiyi Immortal Weapons.
