Chapter 1775 : The Spear God's Stolen Dao

"His actions are not exactly... honorable?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's gaze flickered subtly.

Celestial Maiden saw his reaction and nodded, continuing, "The Five Veins Spear God's innate talent was never exceptional. It took him three hundred million years to reach his current cultivation level. His achievement relies not just on fortune and arduous training, but more so on a method of... seizing the Dao."

"Seizing the Dao?"

Eldrin Chen was taken aback by this term.

Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion also nodded, his gaze turning distant as he explained, "The Five Veins Spear God has a habit of taking on many disciples. He specifically seeks out those with Five Spiritual Roots [a rare and balanced spiritual aptitude encompassing all five elements] to be his successors."

"Once these disciples cultivate until their latent potential is exhausted, he slays them during their Dao Tribulation [a heavenly trial faced when advancing one's cultivation path]. He does this to seize their Dao Source [the condensed essence of one's comprehension of the Dao] and use it to deepen his own understanding of the Path of the Five Elements."

"It is said that over the hundreds of millions of years since he attained the Dao, he has taken in over several hundred thousand disciples. Nearly all of them have been hunted and slain by him to steal their Dao. This is how he cultivated his way to the Eighth Heaven Immortal realm."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's expression darkened, a chill settling in his eyes.

In the struggle for the Great Dao [the supreme, fundamental truth of existence], slaying a rival during Dao Tribulation to claim their Dao Source could be seen as a harsh but accepted part of the contest. There was little room for blame in such a direct clash. For more chapters, visit audio . novel . com for the complete novel.

After all, within the tribulations, whether it is an honorable and upright battle or employing schemes to hunt down one's foes, it ultimately comes down to a fair contest of skill and strength.

However, recruiting disciples only to treat them as cultivation resources is an act too vile and sinister, one that is despised by the world.

"Although this Five Veins Spear God lacks high moral character, having attained the Dao through the Five Spiritual Roots [a rare and balanced spiritual root endowment], his strength is truly not to be underestimated."

"He is among the foremost of those in the Eighth Heaven Immortal [the eighth major stage of immortal cultivation] realm. Even I can only defeat him; I have no certainty of being able to suppress and slay him."

The Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion spoke, his gaze revealing a trace of solemnity.

Eldrin Chen nodded upon hearing this, then looked towards the other three individuals. Seeing this, the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion continued.

"Among the remaining three, the elder clad in flame-patterned Daoist robes is named Crimson Flame Ancient Ancestor. He cultivates the Capital Heaven Crimson Flame Fire [a supreme divine ability of crimson flame], and the Burly Man wielding the giant axe is the Giant Axe True Lord. He follows the Flesh Sanctification Path [a cultivation art focused on refining the physical body to sanctity] and has achieved the Great Completion Innate Physique [a perfected innate physical constitution]."

"However, the strength of these two is merely that of ordinary Seventh Heaven Immortal [the seventh major stage of immortal cultivation]. With your power, you should be more than capable of handling them."

"The only one who poses a true threat is that youth enveloped in swirling Sword Intent [the conceptual essence and willpower focused through a sword], whose Dao title is Void-Sundering Sword Immortal. Although he has only just entered the Seventh Heaven Immortal realm, he walks the path of the Ultimate Slaughter Sword Dao [a sword cultivation art dedicated to the ultimate principle of slaughter]. In terms of pure killing power, he rivals even those at the Eighth Heaven Immortal level."

Mentioning this, the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion's eyes flashed with a hint of Baleful Qi [a malevolent and destructive energy] as he said, "When they ambushed me previously, the Five Veins Spear God was responsible for the frontal assault, while the other three surrounded and pinned me down."

"The strike that truly inflicted grievous wounds upon me was a treacherous blow delivered by that individual."

"Once the great battle commences, we must prioritize capturing him."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's gaze shifted towards the Void-Sundering Sword Immortal.

After a moment of contemplation, Eldrin Chen spoke: "Sword Immortals of the Ultimate Slaughter Sword Dao [a sword cultivation path focused on absolute annihilation] school possess peerless offensive power, yet their defensive capabilities rank among the lowest for their realm."

"A single successful ambush strike would be sufficient to end their life."

Having said this, Eldrin Chen looked at the Celestial Maiden and said, "To ensure a single, fatal strike, I request your assistance."

"Agreed."

The Celestial Maiden gave a slight nod. Beings like her, who cultivated the Ice Dao Principle [the fundamental law of frost and stillness], while their offensive prowess might be slightly less overwhelming, possessed control abilities that were first-rate within their realm.

Witnessing this, the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion also spoke: "Then let us await our moment and strike, ensuring a single, decisive kill."

With these words, they all turned their attention back to the central battlefield of the Central Realm.

At this moment, the battle within the Central Realm [the central and most stable region of the cosmos] remained locked in a state of fierce and protracted struggle.

The Five Veins Spear God was locked in a furious duel with the leader of the Chaos Dragon-Wolf [a powerful primordial beast born from chaos, with traits of both dragon and wolf], yet it was clear the Chaos Dragon-Wolf had been forced onto the defensive.

This Chaos Dragon-Wolf leader possessed an exceptionally potent bloodline. Though its cultivation was only comparable to a Seventh Heaven Immortal [the seventh major stage of immortal cultivation], its true combat prowess within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, turbulent void from which all creation emerged] was such that it could rival even an Eighth Heaven Immortal [the eighth major stage of immortal cultivation].

In contrast, the Five Veins Spear God was suppressed by the Primordial Chaos, his strength reduced to merely sixty or seventy percent of his peak. By all logic, he should have been unable to subdue this Chaos Dragon-Wolf.

However, the Chaos Dragon-Wolf leader had been locked in combat with the Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor for tens of thousands of years and was already grievously wounded by him. Now, besieged by both the Five Veins Spear God and the Ninth Rank Superior Grade Chaos Ancient Ship [a supreme-grade ancient vessel forged from chaos materials], it was clearly at the end of its strength, like a spent arrow from a powerful bow.

Besides its leader, this Chaos Nine Dragons Nest [a legendary lair formed from the essence of nine chaos dragons] was home to thirteen other Chaos Dragon-Wolf. This content originates from http://www . audio-novel.com. Please respect copyright.

Yet, by this stage of the great battle, several of these beasts had been hunted down, leaving only seven Chaos Dragon-Wolf remaining.

Among the surviving seven, three were Ninth Rank Middle Grade [the middle tier of the ninth major cultivation rank] Chaos Dragon-Wolf. However, they too bore significant injuries and failed to gain the upper hand against the Divine Abyss Daoist and his three companions.

"It seems that, without our intervention, this group might actually achieve victory,"

Eldrin Chen murmured, his expression turning slightly solemn as he spoke.

The two nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Although the Chaos Ancient Beast possessed formidable combat prowess within the Primordial Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation], the five opponents were, after all, all beings of the Late Celestial Immortal Realm [the late stage of Celestial Immortal cultivation].

If the fierce battle were to continue indefinitely, the five might sustain significant injuries, but it was highly probable that these Chaos Dragon-Wolf [a primordial beast with traits of both dragon and wolf] would ultimately be completely slain.

"Let us continue to wait," they decided.

Seeing that neither side had detected their presence, the three settled in like anglers on a steady platform, awaiting the conclusion of the conflict.

Thus, time flowed swiftly. More than twenty thousand years passed in the blink of an eye before the battle finally began to reach its turning point.

"BOOM—"

Within the void, Divine Abyss Daoist and Crimson Flame Ancient Ancestor each intercepted a Chaos Dragon-Wolf of the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm [the middle stage of Celestial Immortal cultivation].

Meanwhile, Giant Axe True Lord, gripping his Innate Giant Axe [a primordial axe born of heaven and earth], swept across all directions. With his power alone, he held back the assaults of the remaining five Chaos Ancient Beast, including even that ancient beast second only to the Chaos Dragon-Wolf pack leader. This created the perfect opening for Void-Sundering Sword Immortal.

"SHIIING—"

A supremely sharp sword cry rent the air as Void-Sundering Sword Immortal unleashed a full-powered slash. With that single stroke, he instantly beheaded the Chaos Dragon-Wolf whose power rivaled a Sixth Heaven Celestial Immortal [a Celestial Immortal who has ascended to the sixth of the celestial heavens].

"This single sword strike surpasses even my own Heavenly Separated Twin Swords Union by a notable margin,"

Eldrin Chen murmured, his gaze sharpening with newfound respect for the Void-Sundering Sword Immortal.

It was a staggering feat. The power of Eldrin Chen's Heaven-Severing Twin Swords Union was already comparable to that of a High-Grade Innate Treasure [a supreme treasure born of nature, possessing immense innate power]. Further amplified by the Chaos Yin-Yang Sword Art [a profound sword technique that harnesses the primordial forces of chaos and duality], its lethality was potent enough to threaten an Eighth Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the eighth of the nine celestial heavens] and even wound one at the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm].

For this person's single sword strike to surpass that by another degree meant even a Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm would dare not face it head-on. No wonder he had managed to severely injure the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion.

"Perish now—!"

Seizing the opening, the Giant Axe True Lord launched a fierce counterattack. The colossal axe, forged from Chaos Divine Material [a primordial ore of divine quality born from chaos], cleaved through the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] with a force that shook the very foundations of space. In one devastating swing, he annihilated another Chaos Dragon-Wolf [a ferocious ancient beast born of chaos, with traits of both dragon and wolf] at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm.

In the span of a few breaths, two of the Chaos Dragon-Wolf had been slain. The tide of battle turned violently, leaving the remaining five Chaos Ancient Beast [ancient beasts originating from the primordial chaos] in a perilously precarious position.

The most critical factor was that the Giant Axe True Lord and the Void-Sundering Sword Immortal were now free to act, a development that would utterly destabilize the entire battlefield.

True to form, the two powerhouses struck in swift succession. Within moments, three Chaos Ancient Beast at the Ninth Rank Low Grade [the initial stage of the ninth rank, a measure of power for ancient beasts and demons] were cut down. Only the two Chaos Dragon-Wolf at the Ninth Rank Middle Grade [the intermediate stage of the ninth rank] remained, locked in a desperate struggle. Experience the full epic at *audio-novel.com*.
