Chapter 1779 : Clash of Ancient Powers

"Perish!"

At the very instant the Crimson Flame Ancient Ancestor fell, the Giant Axe True Lord unleashed an Ancient Void Talisman [a powerful talisman that seals space], instantly locking down the Void [a spatial technique] where Eldrin Chen stood.

Almost simultaneously, the Heaven-Cleaving Great Axe [a legendary axe of immense power] descended with a thunderous crash, shattering the Primordial Chaos True Aegis [a supreme defensive technique born from primordial chaos] with brute force.

Fortunately, the Half-Step Patriarch Grade Divine Ability [a divine ability nearing the power of a Patriarch] proved its extraordinary nature. Although the Giant Axe True Lord shattered the Primordial Chaos True Aegis, he was instantly hurled back by the explosive backlash.

"Eldrin, the Abyss, meet your end!"

In that very moment, Divine Abyss Daoist seized the opportunity to strike.

Behold! The Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron [an ancient cauldron containing the power of countless abysses], the Divine Abyss Ancient Sword [an ancient sword forged in the divine abyss], and the Mysterious Immortal-Slaying Sword Talisman [a mysterious talisman designed to slay immortals]—several trump cards soared into the sky together. A deluge of Celestial God [a high cultivation realm] energy surged forth to suppress and annihilate Eldrin Chen.

"Disaster!"

The Celestial Maiden [a female cultivator of celestial beauty and power] felt her heart lurch, her face etched with profound shock, yet she found herself utterly powerless to intervene.

Watching as the three ultimate trump cards crashed down upon Eldrin Chen, Divine Abyss Daoist's face contorted into a mask of wild, triumphant glee. The complete novel can be found at audio-novel-dot-com.

To slay Eldrin Chen, this time he even staked his Bodyguard Supreme Treasure, the Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron [an ancient cauldron artifact of immense power], all to utterly sever Eldrin Chen's lifeline.

In his view, even a Seventh Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the seventh heavenly realm] who had cultivated a Great Perfection Immortal Physique [a physique perfected for immortality] would likely be shattered to pieces by such a strike, let alone Eldrin Chen, a mere Early Celestial Immortal Realm [an immortal in the early stages of the Celestial Immortal realm].

"The authority over the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea shall belong to this old man."

"Hahaha…"

Divine Abyss Ancient Ancestor [an ancient progenitor associated with the divine abyss] roared with laughter, but his expression suddenly twisted violently.

For there, at the heart of the raging chaos, a strand of Ethereal Void Sword Qi [sword energy that cuts through the void] cleaved through the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], piercing straight through Divine Abyss Ancient Ancestor's chest before he could react.

"Pfft—"

Instantly, Divine Abyss Ancient Ancestor's laughter was cut short.

He stared in disbelief ahead. Within the turbulent Primordial Chaos, Eldrin Chen stood firm in the Central Realm [the central plane of existence], one hand supporting the ancient Divine Abyss [the divine abyss] cauldron. A Divine Abyss Ancient Sword [an ancient sword from the divine abyss] was embedded in his body, while he gripped a Chaos Heaven Halberd [a halberd born of chaos and heaven].

Eldrin Chen's Physical Body [his corporeal form, refined through cultivation] bore only two sword scars, the wounds clearly not severe.

The most grievous wound was inflicted by the Primordial Qi Immortal-Slaying Sword Talisman [a talisman that unleashes sword energy imbued with primordial Qi to slay immortals]. This strike was potent enough to cleave a Perfected Celestial Immortal True Body [a perfected physical form achieved by celestial immortals] in two, yet it failed to deliver a fatal blow to Eldrin Chen.

Though the Divine Abyss Ancient Sword [an ancient sword of immense power] was embedded in Eldrin Chen's shoulder, it was clamped tight by his muscles, failing to reach the bone marrow by even a hair's breadth.

"Impossible!"

Divine Abyss Ancient Ancestor [an ancient progenitor of immense power] wore an expression of utter disbelief. His all-out strike was powerful enough to severely wound an Eighth Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the eighth heavenly realm]. How could Eldrin Chen, bereft of his Primordial Chaos True Aura [a protective aura of primordial chaos energy], possibly withstand it?

Before he could ponder further, Eldrin Chen crossed his Heavenly Separated Twin Swords [a pair of legendary swords] to block the Heaven-Cleaving Great Axe [a giant axe capable of splitting the heavens] of the Giant Axe True Lord. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, his Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand [a giant hand formed from primordial chaos energy] tore through the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], descending with a force meant to annihilate all.

"Flee, now!"

At this critical juncture between Life and Death [a state or technique concerning the fundamental forces of life and death], Divine Abyss Daoist ignored his own mortal wound, desperate to pull back and escape with his life.

Yet, in that very instant, a vast white silk ribbon pierced the Primordial Chaos, ensnaring him within its folds and severing his last hope for survival.

"My fate is sealed."

Terror gripped the heart of Divine Abyss Daoist, but there was no time for further thought. In a flash, he was crushed by the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand, pulverized into a cloud of ash and oblivion.

After slaying Divine Abyss Daoist, Eldrin Chen casually suppressed the Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron and the Divine Abyss Ancient Sword, then gave a nod to the Celestial Maiden.

Those in the Late Heaven Immortal Realm possess formidable life-preserving methods. Had the Celestial Maiden not trapped Divine Abyss Daoist with her Frost Soul Immortal Ribbon earlier, there was a fair chance he could have escaped.

The Celestial Maiden gave a slight nod of her own and retrieved her Frost Soul Immortal Ribbon, turning her gaze to Eldrin Chen. "How are your injuries?" she inquired.

"Nothing serious,"

Eldrin Chen replied calmly. Within him, his Chaos Qi [the primordial, formless energy from which all things are born] washed over everything, refining all the foreign energies and Dao Principles [the fundamental laws and truths of the universe]. Under the restorative power of his Rule of Life, his wounds began to visibly heal at a remarkable pace.

Only then did Eldrin Chen turn his attention towards the Depths of Chaos. He saw that the Five Veins Spear God was now completely suppressed by the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion, while the Giant Axe True Lord was fleeing deeper into the Depths of Chaos.

After consuming the Chaos Demon Pill, the Giant Axe True Lord's combat power rivaled that of an Eighth Heaven Immortal. With Eldrin Chen's current strength, the hope of slaying him in a direct confrontation was slim to begin with.

Moreover, with the foe single-mindedly focused on escape, even a cultivator at the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm might not have absolute certainty of cutting him down.

"Let us cut off the Five Veins Spear God's retreat,"

Eldrin Chen stated with calm resolve, then surged forward in pursuit of the Five Veins Spear God.

The Five Veins Spear God had already expended a tremendous amount of Mana [the spiritual energy used to fuel spells and techniques], and having been grievously wounded by a sneak attack, he had long been pushed to his absolute limit under the relentless pursuit of the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion.

Previously, he had managed to struggle on by relying on the cover of the Ninth Rank Chaos Ancient Ship. However, with the fall of the Divine Abyss and the other three Late Heaven Immortal Realm [a high-level immortal cultivation stage] experts—three dead and one fled—that Ninth Rank Chaos Ancient Ship had also fled to save itself.

Now, with his retreat cut off by Eldrin Chen and the Celestial Maiden, he had finally reached the end of the road for a fallen hero.

After one final, desperate strike, he met his end beneath the combined might of the Horizon Sea Twin Swords.

"Three hundred million years of bitter cultivation, three desperate struggles through the Calamity Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial faced by cultivators]... in the end, it was all for nothing."

"Over these years, I have been responsible for the deaths of millions of disciples and followers. Perhaps dying by your hands today is my just retribution!"

In his final moments, the Five Veins Spear God let out a bitter laugh and unleashed his last attack, before ultimately being utterly annihilated by the corrosive power of the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], his essence scattering back into the boundless Primordial Chaos.

After the Five Veins Spear God had completely perished, the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion glanced at Eldrin Chen and remarked, "I never imagined that in this battle, you would single-handedly slay three Seventh Heaven Immortal [a powerful immortal cultivation stage]. Truly, your methods are formidable."

"You flatter me,"

Eldrin Chen replied with a modest smile before continuing, "Their Mana was already severely depleted, and they were further suppressed by the Primordial Chaos. It was only under those conditions that my ambush succeeded."

"Moreover, in this battle, Celestial Maiden [a title for a powerful female immortal] also contributed significantly."

Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion [a title for a powerful cultivator] nodded upon hearing this. He knew that the key to Eldrin Chen's victory in this battle was the successful ambush that killed Void-Sundering Sword Immortal [a title for a formidable sword cultivator].

Otherwise, facing four opponents alone—even if they were not at their peak condition—Eldrin Chen's foundation would not have been sufficient for victory. The best outcome would have been for him to hold out until he could kill Five Veins Spear God [a title for a master spearman] and free up his hands.

As for the success of the ambush, Celestial Maiden's use of the Frost Soul Immortal Pear [a rare spiritual plant] to bind the Lifebound Immortal Sword [a sword magically linked to its wielder's life force] of Void-Sundering Sword Immortal also played a considerable role.

Thinking of this, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion smiled and said, "Let us first take stock of our gains."

"Very well."

Eldrin Chen nodded and immediately began gathering the spoils of the battle together with the others.

Soon, they had collected the numerous resources. However, instead of dividing them immediately, they proceeded into the Chaos Nine Dragons Nest [a mystical site formed by chaotic energies and nine dragon auras].

Upon entering the Chaos Nine Dragons Nest, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion exclaimed with pleasant surprise, "What a treasure!"

Eldrin Chen was also slightly taken aback. He hurried forward to look and discovered that within the Chaos Nine Dragons Nest lay a vein of metallic ore shaped like a Black Dragon [a powerful dragon-type demonic beast].

"It is Chaos Divine Material [a primordial material of supreme quality, born from the chaos of creation], Chaos Black Dragon Iron [a legendary ore said to be forged from the essence of a primordial black dragon]!"

Celestial Maiden murmured, her eyes alight with a flicker of pleasant surprise.

This Chaos Black Dragon Iron, legend holds, was formed from the metamorphosis of Dragon-Patterned Black Gold [a supreme-grade immortal metal], one of the Nine Heavens Immortal Gold [the nine legendary metals of celestial origin].

That Dragon-Patterned Black Gold contains innate dragon-patterns, with Great Dao Laws [the fundamental principles of the cosmos] naturally inscribed within. Possessing an indestructible and eternal nature, it is the supreme divine material for forging Immortal Treasure [weapons and artifacts of immortal-grade power], its rank being at the very least Supreme Grade Immortal Gold [the highest grade of immortal metal].

The Dragon-Patterned Black Gold vein before them had been nurtured within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], tempered day and night by Chaos Qi [the primordial, undifferentiated energy of creation]. Its grade had undergone a qualitative transformation, becoming a Ninth Rank [the pinnacle rank, representing supreme quality] Peerless [a grade beyond compare] Chaos Divine Material—'Chaos Black Dragon Iron'.
