Chapter 1587 : Ancient Sect's True Legacy
Eldrin murmured softly, a trace of surprise in his voice as he spoke.
Within this Jia Wood Blessed Land before him, someone was currently breaking through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm. Unbeknownst to himself, he had seemingly become another's Dao-Blocking Tribulation.
"Is this the will of Heaven?"
Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, his gaze drifting toward the depths of the void beside him.
In the boundless void, 3 figures emerged 1 after another: a woman of unparalleled grace and beauty, a valiant youth clad in cyan-gold battle armor, and a man enveloped in shimmering golden radiance.
The cultivation of all 3 had reached the Great Perfection stage of the Earth Immortal realm, yet the aura radiating from them was terrifyingly powerful—so much so that even Eldrin could sense a faint trace of threat.
The 3 of them also noticed Eldrin, and all of them revealed looks of astonishment.
As if sensing Eldrin’s extraordinary aura, the youth clad in battle armor spoke up, “Your bearing is remarkable, friend. You don’t seem to be from the Great Barren Heavenly Domain?”
Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly, but he offered no reply.
The valiant youth observed this and spoke indifferently, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need for concern. I am ‘Heaven’s Severed Spine’ of the Azure Firmament Ancient Sect, hailing from beyond the Vast Azure Immortal Domain."
"Fellow Daoist, I perceive an extraordinary aura about you, suggesting you are 1 of our kind. Most likely, you too have come seeking the opportunity of rebirth through a 100 tribulations. Hence, I wished to make your acquaintance."
Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) cast a glance at the other 2, his brow slightly furrowing.
He had a feeling that all 3 of them might be top-tier prodigies who had stepped into the forbidden realm.
Such paragons are rare across the ages, and those capable of cultivating to the Ninth Level of Earth Immortal are even more exceptionally scarce. 1 could say that scarcely a few emerge even over a million or 10 million years.
The simultaneous appearance of 3 individuals at this moment was truly beyond all expectations. Yet, if these figures hailed from beyond the Azure Vast Immortal Domain, then it seemed everything could be reasonably explained.
The woman of unparalleled grace also cast a glance at Eldrin, a trace of solemnity flickering in her eyes before she spoke with detached calm, "We have arrived at the Vastsky Immortal Realm precisely to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm in this world, thereby seeking the opportunity for 100 Tribulations Rebirth."
"This time, I seek to seize a supreme-grade blessed land, all for breaking through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm—so I may better strategize for the Celestial Immortal opportunity when the Heavenly Tribulation descends."
"The opportunity for rebirth through a 100 calamities is still distant. Since we have no conflict at present, why not join forces to secure this blessed land first, and then discuss its distribution?"
Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) largely understood that these individuals had all come for this supreme-grade blessed land.
With this thought, Eldrin’s brow furrowed slightly. Breaking through to the half-step Celestial Immortal realm would severely deplete the spiritual energy of his blessed land.
If only 1 person were to break through, the earth vein could gradually recover. But if 3 or 4 Half-Step Celestial Immortals were to ascend in quick succession, even a supreme blessed land would be unable to withstand it.
By then, this blessed land would inevitably suffer a drop in grade, rendering it unusable for cultivating the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.
At this thought, a faint glimmer flickered in Eldrin's eyes as he instantly decided to claim this ley line for himself. However, these Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage from the Great Luo Sect undoubtedly possessed unfathomable strength and profound foundations. Thus, Eldrin refrained from acting rashly.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he spoke calmly, "Let us join forces to dismantle this formation. As for the distribution of spoils, we shall settle that after conquering it."
"Very well—"
No sooner had the words fallen than the figure wreathed in golden radiance made his move.
With a mere flick of his sleeve, a blinding golden light—sharp enough to sever gold and jade—swept forth, carrying the power to obliterate all in its path. It tore through the air and struck the Mountain Protection Array with overwhelming force, rattling the very foundations of the Jia Wood Blessed Land to the brink of collapse.
Golden Radiance Sundering Heaven Art.
"Are you from the Golden Spirit Ancient Clan?"
Eldrin narrowed his eyes, instantly recognizing the man's origins.
Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but reveal a trace of astonishment. The Golden Spirit Ancient Clan was 1 of the 100 immortal races, a lineage born from the primordial essence of celestial metal.
It is said that the progenitor of this lineage was a being transformed from the first innate golden stone between heaven and earth, whose seniority was astonishingly ancient—enough to engage as peers with the ancestral Dao founders and immortal sages.
The Great Luo Ancient Clan was exceedingly rare in number, yet every single member of the Golden Spirit Ancient Clan stood as a pinnacle race with unparalleled physical divinity.
这一族的金芒分天术，乃是一道教 主级神通的简化版，其威力在玄妙级神通之中都算强大。
This member of the Golden Spirit Ancient Tribe before him, whose cultivation had merely reached the Ninth Level of the Earth Immortal Realm, was actually able to unleash the Golden Radiance Heaven-Parting Art. This demonstrated that both his talent and bloodline were exceptionally rare even among the Golden Spirit Ancient Tribe, granting him the potential to glimpse the Great Luo Realm in the future.
"What a formidable ancient clan."
Eldrin also sensed the extraordinary power of this individual. The bloodline of the Golden Spirit Ancient Race was truly remarkable—though his cultivation was merely at the Great Perfection stage of the Earth Immortal realm, the combat prowess he displayed had already brushed against the threshold of the Half-Step Celestial Immortal domain.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, even Seraphina Qu's (Person Name) offensive prowess might not gain the slightest advantage over this individual.
Within the current Chen Immortal Clan, aside from Eldrin, only Lyra—who had created a Mystique-level divine ability—could steadily outmatch this individual.
"Boom—"
In the brief moment Eldrin was lost in thought, the other 2 also sprang into action. Duan Tianji, gripping the Severing Heaven War Halberd, and the peerless woman, wielding a dazzling Immortal Sword, both unleashed combat prowess rivaling that of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal. Their attacks converged upon the ancient grand formation in a torrent of devastating force.
Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) did not hesitate any longer and immediately moved to break the formation.
To avoid exposing his identity, Eldrin did not summon his life-bound treasure. Instead, he gripped the Taiyi Refined Gold War Halberd and shattered the formation through sheer physical force alone.
"What a formidable physical form, strong enough to wield a Taiyi Immortal Artifact."
Seeing Eldrin's extraordinary methods, the gazes of all 3 individuals sharpened slightly.
The man known as Severed Heaven’s Backbone pondered inwardly, then transmitted a voice message to the woman beside him: "Such physical strength is among the finest even among the Great Unity Immortal Physiques. I wonder which Great Luo Ancient Sect’s descendant he truly is."
The woman pondered slightly before speaking, "I cannot see through him. This person possesses heaven-deceiving secret arts and is guarded by innate treasures that stabilize his destiny. We cannot deduce his karmic ties." Seeing this, Duan Tianji’s gaze turned frosty as he said, "Within this earth vein, only 3 Half-Step Celestial Immortals can achieve successive breakthroughs in a short time. In the end, 1 among us will inevitably be eliminated."
"Boom—"
As the hearts and minds of the assembly wavered in turmoil, the void trembled violently, and the entire mountain-protecting formation shattered.
Several guardian deities of the divine clan witnessed this and immediately fled in utter terror, leaving only the Eastern Jia Wood Divine Spirit still secluded within the meditation chamber, striving for a final breakthrough.
Seeing this, Duan Tianji sneered coldly, "A mere Ninth-Level Earth Immortal dares to occupy a supreme-grade blessed land? You're truly courting death."
"Die!"
As the words faded, Duan Tianji summoned a Celestial Halberd that pierced through the void, forcibly shattering the final layer of the cavern abode’s grand formation. He surged toward the Eastern Jia Wood Deity, who was in secluded cultivation.
"Pfft—"
Halfway through his breakthrough, he was forcibly interrupted. The Eastern Armor Wood Deity immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
A look of utter despair flashed across his face before he shot a venomous glare at the crowd. He attempted to tear through the void and escape using his spiritual treasure, but did they truly believe they could simply let him flee?
Eldrin did not make a move, yet the others each employed their own methods.
But then, that peerless beauty activated a supreme treasure to seal the void, while the other 2 unleashed Mysterious-grade divine abilities to strike horizontally.
In just a few exchanges, this peerless deity who had once dominated entire regions and opened the 9 Heavens met his bitter end at the hands of a mere handful of opponents.
