Chapter 1655 : I Love Your Impotent Rage

"Unfortunately, you won't get the chance."

Elder Xigeng spoke with detached calm, "Several supreme powers have joined forces to eradicate the nascent Chen Clan in its cradle." To all who witnessed, this confrontation bore not a shred of uncertainty.

No matter how many prodigies and geniuses the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) possessed, it was impossible for them to breach the barrier of the Taiyi Realm and contend against their 17 Half-Step Celestial Immortals. "I adore the sight of your helpless rage."

Just then, the Third Divine Son of the Western Aether Cave Heaven sneered coldly.

The Third Divine Son, with his heroic bearing and towering stature, descended like a celestial demon from the heavens brandishing a divine halberd, striking the mountain-protecting formation until it teetered on the verge of collapse. Though the formation enveloping 8 seas was extraordinary, besieged by 17 half-step Celestial Immortals, it faltered and was breached in mere moments.

The Second Holy Son and his companions were not surprised by this.

17 Half-Step Celestial Immortals struck together, including 5 top-tier Half-Step Celestial Immortals with dual Taiyi foundations. Such a force could hold its ground even against a triple Taiyi foundation, let alone a mere mountain-protecting array.

Within the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, aside from the Great Luo Ancient Sect and the sea territories controlled by the Cave Heaven, no force could withstand their joint assault. Thus, before making a move, they were fully aware that this battle held no suspense.

"Kill them all, vanquish every foe in this single battle."

As the grand formation was breached, the Third Divine Son immediately declared.

In his view, all 5 Dao Origins this time possessed only a single Yi Dao foundation, incapable of aiding him in reaching the Triple Yi Dao Foundation realm. His sole desire now was to swiftly eliminate all adversaries, so he could return to the battlefield and confront the 9 holy sons and daughters of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven. *Boom*

After him, the Second Holy Son, the Western Geng Ancestor, and 14 other Half-Step Celestial Immortals charged in 1 after another, each revealing faint smiles.

Relying on his lightning speed, the God of Annihilating Thunder charged ahead of all others, closing in on Daoist Zixuan with a cold laugh. "Our fated battle ends today. I shall slay you to complete my path to immortality."

Boom

Suddenly, a world-shaking thunderclap erupted between heaven and earth.

Daoist Zixuan swung his sword down with immense force, cleaving through the air and sending the God of Silent Extinction staggering back, blood spraying from the grievous wound.

The God of Silent Extinction, suddenly dealt a heavy blow, spoke with a face full of shock and fury: "Dual Taiyi foundations—the 10-1000-Calamity Sword of the Taiyi Thunder Abyss!" "Indeed."

Daoist Zixuan spoke calmly, the Taiyi Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword gleaming sharply in his hand as he relentlessly drove the Silent Thunder God into retreat.

Seeing this, the Second Holy Son of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven said with a chilling glint in his eyes, "It seems you indeed have secrets concealed. Yet if this is all you possess, defying the heavens remains beyond your grasp."

As the words fell, the second holy son's Lyra (Person Name) Pagoda soared into the air, descending to suppress the crowd.

But in the blink of an eye, Eldrin raised his palm and struck horizontally, sending the Lyra Pagoda flying back in retreat.

"What a formidable physical body."

Watching the Lyra Pagoda (Magic Treasure) being sent flying, the Second Holy Son was utterly astounded. His Lyra Pagoda was a mid-grade Taiyi Immortal Treasure—even an expert with triple Taiyi foundations wouldn’t dare to receive its blow with their bare flesh.

Eldrin, however, had actually achieved this step, truly astonishing him.

In that very instant, an earth-shattering battle erupted between both sides. Those who had anticipated a swift and crushing victory instantly sensed something amiss the moment they crossed blows. This time, the major powers aligned with the Chen Clan had dispatched a total of 17 Half-Step Celestial Immortals, 5 of whom possessed dual Taiyi foundations.

However, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) and their allies not only failed to fall into a disadvantage but instantly seized absolute dominance. In the present-day 8 Seas of the Returning Abyss, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) alone boasted 12 Half-Step Celestial Immortals.

Among the allies, the Blaze God, the Mystic Violet Daoist, the 7 Mystics Daoist, the Abyssal Daoist, and the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord brought the total to a full 18 Half-Step Celestial Immortals.

At this moment, aside from Lyra (Person Name), the other 17 individuals all made their moves, instantly overwhelming the 12 Half-Step Celestial Immortals. "This is bad, we've fallen into a trap."

In an instant, the Third Divine Son sensed that something was amiss.

Everyone’s hearts sank, their once unshakable confidence plummeting to the depths in an instant.

They immediately tried to fight their way back through their original path, only to find the breached gap had already sealed itself.

In the void, Lyra (Person Name) activated 8 Taiyi Formation Flags to seal the heavens and earth, instantly amplifying the power of the entire grand formation by no less than tenfold.

In an instant, 8 supreme pressures descended. The 17 half-step Celestial Immortals felt as if 8 great universes were crushing down upon them. The circulation of their magical power became excruciatingly difficult, and half of their combat strength was suppressed.

"Damn, it's actually a super killing array!"

At the sight of this, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

The Third Divine Son's face darkened. He immediately summoned a spatial-grade, ninth-rank Taiyi Immortal Treasure, intending to tear through the void and escape. Yet he discovered the very fabric of space had solidified like tempered iron—even a ninth-rank spatial treasure couldn't rend it open.

He lifted his head and realized that high in the void, a treasure mirror radiating the light of yin and yang had already sealed the entire expanse of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers. "A Primordial Spatial Treasure."

Witnessing this scene, the Dragon Prince’s face contorted with shock and fury as he cried out in utter terror, "My life is forfeit!"

These individuals were no match for the Chen Clan and their allies to begin with. With their spatial treasures rendered useless, their means of escape severed, and further suppressed by the formation array, they plunged deeper into despair.

Even with Kael and the others suppressing their cultivation to the level of a single Taiyi foundation to conceal their true strength, these opponents stood no chance. In mere moments, blood sprayed through the air as limbs were severed, and some already teetered on the brink of annihilation.

Seeing this, Eldrin immediately spoke up: "Everyone, hold your blades!"

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu and the others froze for a moment, their eyes flickering with realization as they instantly grasped that Eldrin was up to his mischief again.

They were well aware that if everyone fought with their full strength, they could likely eliminate all 17 Quasi-Celestial Immortals in a short time. However, if the Chen Clan truly slaughtered all of them, it would undoubtedly shock the 7 transcendent forces that had entered the tribulation.

At that time, the 7 great powers would either cease sending forces to attack the 8 Seas of the Returning Abyss, or they would form alliances and attempt to join forces to annihilate the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization).

Although the various major factions harbored deep-seated grudges against 1 another, making it unlikely they would unite against the Chen Clan, even if they abandoned their ambitions in the 100 Seas of the Returning Abyss, they would inevitably grow wary of the Chen Immortal Clan.

At that time, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had no choice but to take the initiative to seize the Dao Source, even at the risk of ambushes from major powers.

Even if Eldrin had the confidence to achieve sufficient gains in a single battle, without the support of formations, he would likely pay an immense price—perhaps even losing multiple Half-Step Celestial Immortals in exchange.

After all, defense was always far easier than offense. By Eldrin's estimation, this single 8 Trigrams Grand Formation alone could rival the combat power of a mid-stage Celestial Immortal.

Understanding this, the group immediately reined in their killing intent. Against these 17 half-step Celestial Immortals, they opted to subdue rather than slaughter, forcing their opponents into a relentless retreat. "Damn it!"

Seeing the others suddenly change their tactics, the Second Saint Son immediately sensed something amiss and understood their intentions.
