Chapter 1621 : Xunwind Grotto-Heaven

Having decided to claim the Zephyr Grotto-Heaven, Eldrin immediately began preparations. Considering this was, after all, a grotto-heaven realm, the Chen Immortal Clan resolved to deploy their full strength for this endeavor.

Eldrin roused Kael from seclusion, awakened Chen Ethan and Chen Qiyuan, and summoned his 5 Dao companions.

A total of 9 Half-Step Celestial Immortals set out together. Led by Eldrin, they traversed the dimensional void and finally located the domain of the Xunwind Grotto-Heaven.

"This is the place."

Gazing at the dimensional void before him, Eldrin (Person Name) remarked with a faint smile.

Everyone looked up and indeed saw a deep cyan circular space undulating within the endless dimensional void.

This circular realm was merely the size of a single Earth Immortal’s domain—utterly insignificant when cast into the boundless expanse of the dimensional void. Without precise spatial coordinates, locating it within the infinite layers of reality would be akin to scattering a single grain of sand across an entire major world and commanding a mortal to find it.

At this thought, everyone felt quite delighted in their hearts.

The 9 individuals gazed upon the Celestial Wind Cavern and began to discern its hidden mysteries.

After a long moment had passed, Lyra finally spoke, "The formation within this Xunwind Grotto-Heaven must be the legendary Xunwind God-Slaying Grand Formation."

"If a Celestial Immortal expert were to personally activate it, even a mid-stage Celestial Immortal would find it difficult to breach in a short time."

Kael also gave a slight nod before speaking. "There may be no Celestial Immortal presiding over the formation, but judging by the aura within, it appears there are 5 Half-Step Celestial Immortals."

"If they stubbornly resist, even an early-stage Celestial Immortal would need tens of thousands of years to breach it." Hearing this, everyone's expressions grew solemn.

Even a Celestial Immortal expert would be unable to breach it directly. If the 9 half-step Celestial Immortals of the Chen Clan joined forces, it would likely still take them tens of thousands of years to succeed.

At this thought, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) pondered briefly before speaking: "We can utilize the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to forcibly breach the grotto-heaven and eliminate all 5 of those half-step Celestial Immortals from the Zephyr Divine Clan."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted slightly as they fell into deep contemplation.

Chen Ethan shook his head and spoke with utmost gravity, "If we charge into the formation without breaking it first, the combined suppression from the grotto-heaven and the array would limit us to unleashing at most 50 percent of our power."

"If the Zephyr Grotto-Heaven still has a trump card by then, we will likely suffer heavy casualties."

Just then, Eldrin, who had remained silent all this while, finally spoke. "Do not worry. Leave the Cave Heaven Grand Formation of the Whirlwind Cave Heaven to me." He declared. "Focus your strength on suppressing and eliminating those 5 Whirlwind Divine Clan members at the Taiyi Realm."

Hearing this, everyone could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

If Eldrin (Person Name) could withstand the formation's suppression, then relying solely on the suppression from the Xunfeng Grotto-Heaven, they should be able to unleash 80 percent of their strength. This strike ought to be sufficient.

At this thought, Lyra spoke, "Then let's begin."

Eldrin gave a slight nod and handed the Gourd of the Howling Wind That Slays Gods to Lyra as a precaution. Then, he activated the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void to pierce through the void, directly transporting everyone into the blessed land of Xunwind.

Boom—

At that very moment, the Gale-Severing Deity Execution Array spontaneously awakened. A blinding radiance surged into the heavens as a petite bell emerged, hovering like a blazing sun before descending to suppress the assembled cultivators.

Xun Wind Soul-Quelling Bell (Magic Treasure)

Eldrin spoke with an air of detachment, then stepped upward into the heavens. With a single palm strike, he sought to suppress the Zephyr-Swaying Soul Bell (Magic Treasure).

In an instant, a tremendous collision erupted between the 2 sides. An overwhelmingly majestic shockwave surged in all directions, nearly splitting the entire sky in 2.

This Zephyr Soul-Quelling Bell was truly extraordinary. As a mid-grade Taiji Immortal Artifact, its power, when amplified by the formation array, even surpassed that of a lower-grade Innate Treasure by a considerable margin.

If the Wind God of Xun were to personally command the formation, the might of this treasure could even suppress and slay a Celestial Immortal.

Although there was no Wind God personally controlling it at the moment, its power remained astonishingly formidable. It could effortlessly suppress and kill half-step Celestial Immortals, with only true Celestial Immortals capable of resisting it. Though Eldrin had not yet reached the realm of a Celestial Immortal, his perfected Primordial Indestructible Body had already elevated his combat prowess to touch the edges of the Celestial Immortal domain. Moreover, his constitution inherently countered wind-attribute artifacts like the Zephyr Soul-Suppressing Bell to an extreme degree.

Thus, when he struck with full force, he not only avoided being at a disadvantage but completely overwhelmed the Zephyr Soul-Suppressing Bell.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Meanwhile, the Cave of the Celestial Winds finally stirred.

Hundreds of figures soared into the sky, among whom 5 possessed extraordinary bearing—all had established the foundation of Taiyi.

The cultivation levels of the 2 leaders were comparable to dual Great Unity foundations. 1 of them swept a glance over the crowd, his expression shifting slightly as he demanded, “Who are you to dare trespass upon my Zephyr Grotto-Heaven?”

"Attack!" Seeing Eldrin holding back the grand formation, Lyra and the others did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately launching their assault.

The Howling Wind Grotto-Heaven housed no small number of powerful beings, with tens of thousands of divine spirits and over a 100 mighty deities who had reached the Earth Immortal realm.

But without the suppression of the formation, the group showed no fear whatsoever. They immediately took action, erupting into a fierce battle against the deities of the Xunfeng Grotto-Heaven.

Kael instantly made his move, unleashing the 3 Fiends Slaying Immortals Sword Array, which immediately blocked the assault of several 100 Earth Immortals.

Lyra (Person Name) deployed the Grand Yi 8 Trigrams Formation Flags, single-handedly suppressing the assault of tens of thousands of deities.

In recent years, after the 8 Trigrams Ancient Tree advanced to become a Great Immortal Root, it bore 8 Great Immortal Origin Fruits, each a rare Great Immortal treasure.

Lyra refined it into this set of 'Taiyi 8 Trigrams Formation Flags', whose combined power rivals even that of a lower-grade innate treasure. Now, as Lyra continuously channeled her energy, the formation not only suppressed the onslaught of tens of thousands of deities but also overwhelmed countless other arrays within the grotto-heaven.

With those troublesome deities and formations out of the way, the remaining 5 Half-Step Celestial Immortals, though formidable, were met with unwavering fearlessness by the group.

Qing Ji and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) made their move, each intercepting a Half-Step Celestial Immortal with dual Great Unity foundations. Over the years, their strength had grown significantly, and even against opponents possessing dual Great Unity foundations, they managed to hold their ground without falling behind for the time being.

Chen Qiyuan, Chen Ethan (Person Name), Lila (Person Name), and Yan Zijie immediately launched a coordinated assault against the 3 Half-Step Celestial Immortals with single Great Unity foundations.

All 4 were top-tier prodigies who had opened the 9-Layered Heavens. Even though their power was suppressed within the grotto-heaven, limiting them to merely 80 percent of their combat strength, they still far surpassed ordinary cultivators with a single Taiyi foundation.

On the battlefield, the 3 Taiyi realm deities immediately found themselves at a disadvantage.

"Kill!" Amid the ferocious battle, everyone displayed astonishing combat prowess.

Chen Qiyuan transformed into an immortal golden body, radiant as the sun reigning over the 9 heavens, and with overwhelming force tore apart the Taiyi Immortal Physique of a deity at the Taiyi realm.

"Ah—"

His Supreme Immortal Physique was shattered. The deity of the Great Unity Realm let out a wretched scream and immediately attempted to flee for his life.
