Chapter 1777 : Treasures Clash in the Celestial Siege

"Hahaha, to possess such Heavy Treasures [exceptionally powerful enchanted artifacts] while only at the Fourth Heaven Celestial Immortal Realm [the fourth major stage of celestial immortal cultivation], it seems Patriarch I am blessed with fortune today."

The Crimson Flame Patriarch let out a booming laugh. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned a small crimson banner, unleashing a torrent of True Flame [a pure, high-level spiritual fire] that surged forward to incinerate everything in its path.

This banner was named the Capital Heaven Crimson Flame Banner. It was a fire-attribute Upper Grade Innate Treasure [a top-tier magical treasure born from innate cosmic principles] that the Crimson Flame Patriarch had acquired at great cost.

This banner could unleash Innate Crimson Flame [a primal crimson fire born from the cosmos], which was supremely effective at countering ice and water-attribute Immortal Treasure [immortal-grade magical artifacts].

Under the onslaught of the billowing True Flame, the barrier formed by the Frigid Heaven Snow Lotus immediately began to ripple and shimmer unsteadily.

"It can be broken!"

Simultaneously, the Divine Abyss Path Master and the Giant Axe True Lord joined the assault. The Divine Abyss Ancient Sword and the World-Opening Giant Axe cleaved through the Vast and Boundless Chaos [the formless primordial chaos], striking directly at the defensive barrier.

For a moment, the light of the Frigid Heaven Snow Lotus flickered erratically, teetering on the verge of collapse under the combined assault.

Witnessing this, the Celestial Maiden [a title for a high-ranking female immortal] could not help but voice her concern with worry: "This is bad. My spiritual power is insufficient. Facing the siege of three opponents, I fear I cannot hold out for much longer."

The Crimson Flame Patriarch roared with maniacal laughter, pushing the Heavenly Flame Banner in his hand to its absolute limit. As surging flames billowed forth, he declared with utter arrogance, "You are merely at the Fourth Heaven Celestial Immortal Realm [the fourth major stage of celestial immortal cultivation]; your spiritual power [the refined energy cultivated by immortals] ultimately cannot match ours."

"Even with a Quasi-Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure of immense power, born close to the dawn of creation] protecting you, how long can you possibly hold out?"

The powerfully muscled Giant Axe True Lord swung his Giant Axe in a devastating cleave. Each blow churned the Chaos Energy Flow [the primordial, undifferentiated energy that existed before the cosmos was formed] and shook the Eight Desolations [a legendary, primordial expanse of desolate lands], the scene reminiscent of a Chaos Fiend [a powerful demon born from primordial chaos] engaged in the act of World-Opening [the legendary feat of splitting primordial chaos to create a new world or realm].

Every strike he unleashed seemed to sunder the Chaos [the state of primordial, undifferentiated existence], carrying an oppressive force that promised utter annihilation. His gaze, dark and profound, fixed upon the Celestial Maiden as he spoke.

"Surrender the Heavy Treasures [treasures of immense weight and power], submit to a soul-binding contract of servitude, and I may grant you your life."

"*Clang!*"

At that precise moment, a resonant chime echoed through the tumult.

Eldrin Chen manifested the Bulwark Earth Sovereign Bell, its protective aura shielding the Celestial Maiden. With a flick of his sleeve, he then summoned the Celestial Abyss Twin Swords. The twin blades danced and intertwined, weaving a net of containment that disrupted the opponents' Slaughter [a divine ability focused on overwhelming offensive power] techniques. The pressure on the Celestial Maiden immediately lessened.

Although the three adversaries possessed Extraordinary strength, they found themselves momentarily thwarted by the combined defenses of Eldrin and the maiden. A flicker of surprise crossed their features.

"Merely at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm [the initial stage of the celestial immortal realm], yet wielding such formidable prowess…"

The Crimson Flame Patriarch's gaze turned icy. He immediately channeled his power to its utmost, pushing the Capital Heaven Crimson Flame Banner in his hand to its absolute limit.

Not only that, he also looked towards the Divine Abyss Path Master and urged, "Fellow Daoist, you must unleash your full power now. Otherwise, once the Spear God is defeated, you and I will have no choice but to flee for our lives."

It turned out that even after fighting this long, the Divine Abyss Path Master had only been using the Divine Abyss Ancient Sword to face the enemy. He had yet to bring out his trump card, the Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron.

In the Crimson Flame Patriarch's view, once the Divine Abyss Path Master summoned the Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron, the barrier formed by the Frigid Heaven Snow Lotus would surely shatter instantly.

Once that protective supreme treasure was gone, the two Celestial Immortals at the early to mid-stage—Eldrin Chen and the Celestial Maiden—would be easily subdued by them with one hand.

However, the Divine Abyss Path Master, who understood Eldrin Chen's true strength, did not believe that a single ancient cauldron from the Divine Abyss would be enough to break the enemy's defense.

He took a deep breath and declared decisively, "Everyone, if we wish to slay this foe, we cannot hold back in the slightest."

"Whatever trump cards you have hidden, use them now!"

As his words fell, the Divine Abyss Path Master flicked his sleeve, unleashing a dazzlingly brilliant small sword.

The tiny sword swelled with the wind, instantly transforming into a heaven-obscuring, earth-veiling sword energy that shot forth, piercing towards the barrier formed by the Frigid Heaven Snow Lotus.

"Primordial Energy Immortal-Slaying Sword Talisman."

Witnessing this scene, everyone present was momentarily stunned.

This Primordial Energy Immortal-Slaying Sword Talisman was a special type of Talismanic Treasure [a powerful, single-use artifact that seals a formidable technique]. It was forged by Primordial Energy Sword Immortal, one of the Ten Great Sword Immortal [a title for supreme masters of the sword path] of the Frigid Immortal Domain, using a fragment of the origin essence from his own Lifebound Immortal Sword [a sword cultivated and bound to a cultivator's very life force].

This talisman could be used three times, and its power was comparable to a full-force strike from an Eighth Heaven Celestial Immortal [a cultivator at the eighth level of the Celestial Immortal realm]. It was an item Divine Abyss Path Master had acquired at great personal cost.

Originally, this treasure was intended to deal with a Late Celestial Immortal Realm Chaos Ancient Beast [a primordial beast born from chaos]. However, because the Chaos Dragon-Wolf Chieftain had been severely wounded by Horizon Patriarch, the battle had proceeded more smoothly than anticipated, so he had held it in reserve.

Now, to deal with two Celestial Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality] cultivators at the early to mid-stage, Divine Abyss Path Master had brought out this trump card he kept for dire emergencies, which greatly surprised both Crimson Flame Patriarch and Giant Axe True Lord.

"Be careful!"

Just as everyone was feeling astonished, the radiant barrier formed by the Frigid Heaven Snow Lotus [a legendary spiritual lotus of extreme cold] finally succumbed to the relentless assault and shattered with a resounding crack.

Eldrin Chen acted decisively, unleashing his Primordial One Energy True Aura [a supreme defensive technique manifesting the primordial energy of creation] to block the combined onslaught of their foes.

"*Clang!*"

Having parried the assaults of several Upper Grade Innate Treasure with a single move, Eldrin Chen no longer held back. With a flick of his sleeve, he manifested the Chaos Weapon Forging Art [a divine art that forges weapons from primordial chaos].

Instantly, ancient cauldrons, immortal bells, divine furnaces, Heavenly Blade, treasure pagodas, Immortal Sword, ancient mirrors, divine spears, and celestial halberds—nine Chaos Ancient Arms in total—soared into the sky. They descended with overwhelming Primordial Chaos Energy [the fundamental, formless energy from which all creation emerged], suppressing the eight directions.

Although the Chaos Weapon Forging Art was merely a Mysterious Grade Divine Ability, its power unleashed within the Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state of existence] proved astonishingly formidable.

Eldrin Chen could sense it—the moment the divine weapons materialized from the Chaos Weapon Forging Art, boundless Primordial Chaos Energy surged into them, amplifying the might of the Divine Ability [a supernatural technique or art mastered through cultivation] by more than fifty percent.

In that instant, nine Chaos Ancient Arms soared forth one after another. Each weapon, nearly as tangible as a true Innate Treasure [a treasure born from nature, possessing immense innate power], pressed down upon the Eight Desolations [a desolate, ancient expanse], clashing violently with the divine weapons and ancient treasures of the three opponents.

"What a potent Divine Ability!"

Giant Axe True Lord channeled his Giant Axe to cleave through the eight directions, engaging the nine Chaos Ancient Arms in a brutal, head-on clash that shook the Six Harmonies [the six spatial directions: up, down, east, west, north, south]. With sheer force, he shattered the Heavenly Blade, the Immortal Sword, and the treasure pagoda—three of the Chaos Ancient Arms.

Yet, with another flick of Eldrin Chen's sleeve, the Heavenly Blade, the Immortal Sword, and the pagoda reformed, descending once more in pristine condition to continue their suppression.

This left him utterly astounded. His gaze filled with shock as he exclaimed, "The Chaos-attribute Divine Ability this person cultivates is far too compatible with the Chaos Energy Flow [the currents of primordial chaos energy]. It can unleash power far exceeding its inherent grade."

"A Chaos-attribute Divine Ability..."

At this moment, everyone present felt an overwhelming sense of astonishment.

It must be understood that Chaos-attribute Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power] are the exclusive domain of Primordial Era Divine King [ancient god-kings from the dawn of time], Demon Race Great Emperor [supreme rulers of the demonic races], Human Race Quasi-Sage Imperial Lord [human lords who have nearly attained sagehood].

Beings such as Divine King [god-kings], Great Emperor [great emperors], and Quasi-Sage [quasi-sages] are existences that have transcended the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [Golden Immortal realm], grasped a portion of Chaos Great Path Authority [the authority over the fundamental laws of Chaos], and stand with one foot already within the Chaos Grade [the realm of Chaos itself].

Given that Chaos Divine Ability [a Divine Ability born from Chaos] can only be cultivated by such figures, it illustrates just how exceedingly rare a Chaos-attribute Divine Ability truly is.

These Chaos-attribute Divine Ability wield the ultimate energies of the Boundless Chaos [the formless primordial void]. Not only is their power far beyond what ordinary Divine Ability can match, but they also suffer no suppression whatsoever within Chaos itself.

Eldrin Chen is merely at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm [the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm], yet he has cultivated a Chaos-attribute Divine Ability. Although it seems he has only grasped the merest wisp of its essence, failing to plumb its profound depths, this feat alone would likely shock many a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [Golden Immortal].

"This youth must not be allowed to live!"

As this thought surged within them, the three exchanged a glance.

The Crimson Flame Patriarch drew a deep breath and spoke decisively, "Fellow cultivators, if you possess any trump cards held in reserve, hold them back no longer."

"Then let us act."

As his words fell, Giant Axe True Lord immediately retrieved and swallowed a crimson pill [a potent alchemical elixir].

The moment the pill was consumed, Giant Axe True Lord let out a roar of agony. His muscles, already corded and powerful, swelled monstrously as his Innate True Body [a cultivator's perfected physical form] erupted with power. He transformed into a supreme, towering figure, akin to a Chaos Demon God [a primordial entity of immense destructive power].
