Chapter 1599 : Taiyou Zhenhu

The Grand Nether True Howler Clan.

Gazing at the distant pack of Netherbeasts, a trace of solemnity surfaced on Eldrin's face.

Before them stretched a vast horde of Netherfiend Beasts, numbering well over a 100 in total.

Eldrin gazed into the distance and discovered that these Netherbeasts fed on boundless nether energy and malevolent aura, making their strength exceptionally formidable.

"3 are at the Taiyi Realm, while the rest are all existences of the Earthly Immortal Realm."

Lyra said calmly, recognizing the origins of these ancient beasts.

Seeing this, Eldrin spoke up, "With the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void sealing the void, Kael, Lyra, and Seraphina Qu—the 3 of you hold back the beast horde. The rest of you, make this quick. Kill the 3 Taiyou Zhenhao of the Great Unity Realm."

"Very well."

After finalizing their tactics, everyone sprang into action instantly.

But then Eldrin sealed the heavens and earth with the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void. Chen Qiyuan, Chen Ethan, Yan Zi Ji, Lila, and Qing Ji immediately charged toward the 3-headed Primordial Nether Hounds.

In the blink of an eye, all 400-plus Netherworld True-Prowlers sensed something amiss and charged forth with boundless ferocious aura.

The strength of these Netherworld True Howlers was at least comparable to Half-Step Earth Immortals, with many among them rivaling the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm. With a full 4 100 Netherworld True Howlers now joining the fray, they were enough to shift the tide of the battlefield.

Fortunately, everyone was already prepared. Lyra immediately activated the Primordial Chaos Earth Plate, a Creation Treasure, manifesting a grand formation that blocked over a 100 Netherworld True Howlers.

As 1 who had opened 12 celestial layers, Lyra's strength after breaking through to the half-step Celestial Immortal realm had long been comparable to dual Taiyi foundations.

Simultaneously suppressing over a 100 True Howlers, he still had strength to spare to summon the Great 5 Elements Pure Yin Divine Thunder, blasting downward and mercilessly reducing 20-some True Howlers to calamity ashes.

Kael and Seraphina Qu likewise demonstrated extraordinary mastery. As Kael activated the Triple Demon Soul-Severing Sword Array, it instantly enveloped over a 100 Netherbeasts, reducing countless of them to calamity ashes in mere moments.

Seraphina Qu’s 7 Extremities Spirit-Slaying Sword transformed into an endless, radiant sword array of 7 colors, instantly reducing countless ancient Netherbeasts to ashes.

Witnessing this scene, Eldrin realized the 3 were more than capable of holding off these Netherbeasts, and immediately charged toward the heart of the battlefield.

Among these 3 Ancient Taiyi Beasts, 2 possessed combat prowess comparable to a Single Taiyi Foundation, while the leader even rivaled an existence with a Dual Taiyi Foundation.

With the strength of Chen Qiyuan, Chen Ethan (Person Name), Yan Zi Ji, Lila (Person Name), and Qing Ji, any 1 of them could easily suppress these 2 ancient beasts with single Taiyi foundations. Only their leader was beyond their ability to contend with.

Yet as beings who had opened the 9 Heavens, even if they could not prevail, they still possessed the power to stand their ground in battle.

At this moment, Qing Ji, who had opened 10 celestial layers, intercepted the leader of the Taiyou Zhenhou, while the other 4 were jointly besieging 2 ancient beasts with single Taiyi foundations.

Clearly, the 2 ancient beasts with single Taiyi foundations were far from their match. In less than 10 moves, they had already sustained significant injuries.

Eldrin did not contend with them for opponents, instead plunging straight into the heart of the battlefield and charging toward the leader of the Grand Abyssal Howler.

"Roar—"

Seeing Eldrin approaching, the Taiyou True Howl's eyes turned frenzied as it charged toward him with overwhelming killing intent.

Eldrin remained utterly unmoved. With a mere lift of his hand and a palm strike descending like divine punishment, he sent the Taiyou Zhenhou flying backward.

With a single strike, Eldrin advanced with the Taiyi Adamantine War Halberd in hand. Channeling the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand, he seized the Taiyou Zhenhu and struck again, sending the beast hurtling through the air while spraying blood.

This time, the Great Nether True Howler suffered shattered leg bones, clearly sustaining no minor injury.

"Argh—"

The Grandvoid True Howl's eyes burned crimson, brimming with boundless killing intent as rampant, overwhelming baleful energy surged around its entire form.

In that instant, it erupted in fury, steadying itself with near-feral intensity as it lunged toward Eldrin. *Boom—*

A deafening explosion erupted as Eldrin strode forth with the Great Yin Heaven Halberd in hand, striking his foe once more and sending them hurtling through the air, blood spraying in their wake.

"A Netherbeast comparable to dual Taiyi foundations—it doesn't seem all that impressive after all?"

Eldrin spoke calmly, "This Netherworld True Hou is indeed formidable, capable of tearing apart a Half-Step Celestial Immortal with its bare claws. Yet its physical strength ultimately cannot compare to the Supreme Primordial Indestructible Body."

More importantly, Eldrin held the Taiyi War Halberd in his hand,

With their combined power, even a top-tier half-step Celestial Immortal could be slain, let alone a Netherbeast that lacked protective treasures and whose abilities fell short of its half-step Celestial Immortal peers.

But Eldrin struck again and again, each blow carrying the force of a collapsing sky, beating the Taiyou Zhenhou back step by step.

In just over 60 exchanges, he pinned the Taiyou Zhenhou in the void with his Great Yang Auric Gold War Halberd.

After slaying the Taiyou Zhenhu, Eldrin withdrew the Taiyi Jingjin War Halberd, a faint smile surfacing in his gaze.

He had a general grasp of his current strength. Even without resorting to trump cards like his innate treasures, he estimated he could defeat a Half-Step Celestial Immortal with dual Taiyi foundations within a 100 moves.

If the opponent possesses a trump card like a Taiyi Immortal Weapon, 3 100 moves should still suffice.

At this thought, Eldrin scanned the battlefield and noticed the other 2 Nether-Treading True Howlers had already been surrounded and slain by the 4 cultivators. Hundreds of Nether-Treading Howlers had also been routed and slaughtered.

Seeing this, Eldrin drew out the Nether Miasma contained within the Darkwraith Howler and discovered a total of 2 strands—both of the purest grade.

Chen Qiyuan and the others extracted the turbid qi from the other 2 Netherbeasts, discovering they were also 2 strands of Netherworld Turbid Qi. Unfortunately, 1 of them was not pure enough. "3 strands of supreme purity Netherworld Turbid Qi, plus the earlier 1, make 4 strands in total."

Gazing at the 3 streams of Netherworld Turbid Qi, Lila (Person Name) could not help but exclaim with delight.

Seeing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) couldn't help but ask, "With 3 strands of Heavenly Purity Qi in our possession, these 4 strands of Netherworld Turbid Qi are more than sufficient. Should we return now?"

Chen Ethan, driven by his ambitious and adventurous nature, immediately declared, "The Pristine Nether Miasma is exceedingly rare. If we could obtain a few more strands, we might well be able to exchange them for several threads of the Pure Yang Aether."

"And how could 1 ever have too many of those Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pills (Spiritual Object), which aid us in comprehending the Dao principles and supernatural powers?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) also fell into a pensive silence.

The current Chen Immortal Clan is no ordinary Half-Step Celestial Immortal force. With 9 powerful Half-Step Celestial Immortals in their lineage, this level of strength is sufficient to suppress even those with Triple Great Unity foundations. They should possess the capability to acquire more Netherworld Turbid Qi.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke up, "Let's observe a while longer. If the situation turns unfavorable, we can always escape using the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void."

Eldrin’s words settled the matter, and he led the group deeper into the Netherworld. They fought their way into the heart of the void, where they soon encountered another ancient Netherbeast tribe.

The clan possessed only 2 ancient beasts at the Taiyi Realm, which were swiftly slain by the group. They obtained 2 more strands of Netherworld Turbid Qi, yet only 1 of them proved usable.

Their strength was indeed formidable. As they pressed onward, they successively vanquished 5 more packs of Netherbeasts.

These 5 ancient Netherbeast clans collectively possessed a total of 12 Netherbeasts at the Taiyi Realm stage, among which only a single 1 had achieved the Dual Taiyi Foundation.

A total of 13 strands of Nether Miasma were obtained, yet only 8 met the standard of Ultimate Purity Nether Miasma.

Adding the 5 Nether Miasma they had obtained earlier, they now possessed a total of 13 Nether Miasma.
