Chapter 1671 : The Great Emperor's Celestial Seal

At that very instant, a blinding crimson light shot forth, piercing through the chest of the Wei River Celestial God with overwhelming force. His physical form was utterly obliterated in the violent explosion, leaving only his primordial spirit to escape.

Chen Qiyuan had been locked in fierce combat until now, having already slain 11 half-step Celestial Immortals. Yet he still possessed strength to spare, drawing his bow and firing an arrow that dealt a fatal, devastating blow to the Weishui River Deity in a single strike.

"What a perfect opportunity!"

Witnessing this scene, Eldrin finally seized the opportunity.

With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the Howling Wind God-Slaying Gourd. In the blink of an eye, a flying blade soared across the heavens, completely obliterating the primordial spirit of the Wei River Deity and vanquishing it within the void.

"Alas—"

At the same time, when Daoist Qianxing witnessed this scene, he couldn't help but reveal a look of despair.

He scanned his surroundings and saw that high in the ethereal sky, the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) had already sealed the void.

Chen Qiyuan, Lyra (Person Name), Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Chen Ethan (Person Name), the Nether Sovereign of Ancient Ruins, and the Ancestral Sovereign of Myriad Spirits had already blocked his retreat.

Gazing at Daoist Qianxing, the Myriad Spirits Ancestor spoke with detached calm, "I warned you long ago: by daring to interfere in this tribulation, you have already stepped into calamity's embrace. The Divine Abyss Cave Heaven was destined to face this reckoning."

"Yes."

Daoist Qianxing gave a bitter smile. He scanned his surroundings, then said with a pale face, "So many 3 Taiyi Foundations... No wonder the Return-to-Void Immortal Alliance has become 1 of the protagonists of the Dao Calamity."

"Our Divine Abyss Cave Heaven has met its calamity, and we have lost fairly."

Elder Qianxing slowly drew an ancient sword engraved with constellations, its tip aimed at Eldrin as he declared, "As a Celestial Immortal, I refuse to meet an inglorious end. Will you face me in honorable combat?"

"But—"

Eldrin spoke calmly. As a Celestial Immortal of great power, Daoist Qianxing was a truly peerless figure of his generation. Eldrin was willing to grant him this final battle.

Upon hearing Eldrin's promise, Daoist Qianxing let out a hearty laugh. With the Ancient Sword of Qianxing gripped firmly in hand, he swung it down with overwhelming force. A wave of boundless killing intent swept across the heavens as the blade shot straight toward Eldrin's brow.

A world-shaking battle erupted once more, a fair 1-on-1 duel between the 2, while all others refrained from intervening.

But the moment Eldrin (Person Name) stirred his innate spiritual power, the outcome of this battle was never in doubt.

The great battle raged on for over 3 100 exchanges. Eldrin channeled his Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand, firmly seizing his opponent within his palm before ultimately refining them completely into calamity ashes.

"It's over."

After slaying Daoist Qianxing, Eldrin let out a slow breath, finally gauging the extent of his own power.

By his estimation, the sheer power of his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body alone already surpassed the combat prowess of Daoist Qianxing.

Due to his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body's exceedingly high resistance, Eldrin possessed formidable immunity to divine abilities and immortal treasures of the 5 Elements and 3 Extraordinary Attributes. Even divine techniques and immortal artifacts at the early Celestial Immortal stage could scarcely harm him.

Even the Imperial Heaven-Sealing Mirror could not seal the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, demonstrating its astonishing resistance to all manner of spells, divine powers, and exotic energies.

Although Daoist Qianxing possessed formidable combat prowess, he was utterly incapable of inflicting fatal injuries upon Eldrin. Thus, from the very beginning, this battle held no suspense.

This was merely the innate Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body. If he were to activate his innate mana and the Dao principles of Primordial Chaos, Eldrin's combat prowess would undergo a qualitative transformation.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, if he pushed his combat prowess to the absolute limit, he could barely reach the threshold of the Fourth Heavenly Layer.

Even when converted to the standards of a Flawless Celestial Immortal, it should be comparable to the Third Layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.

"The Dao Tribulation has yet to draw in mid-stage Heavenly Immortals. With my current combat prowess, I dare say that across the entire Vast Azure Immortal Domain, in a 1-on-1 confrontation, I am nearly invincible."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, ultimately storing away the Dao Origin of the Star-Severing Daoist.

After achieving a complete victory, the group briefly cleared the battlefield before redirecting their course to attack the Divine Abyss Sea. They swiftly conquered this maritime territory.

After securing the sea territory, Eldrin invited all the half-step Celestial Immortals into the grand hall.

In the grand hall, Eldrin gazed at the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits and remarked with a faint smile, "We are deeply grateful for your intervention, Senior, holding off Daoist Qianxing for 3 full hours on our behalf."

Nowhere.

Elder Wanling smiled faintly and said, "With your cultivation level, even if Daoist Qianxing is held back, victory should be well within your grasp."

"That's not entirely accurate."

Eldrin shook his head, his expression grave as he said, "If we allow Daoist Qianxing to cross over, though I still have confidence in achieving victory—"

"But if they were to spare even 1 of their own to target our other half-step Celestial Immortals, we would suffer devastating losses."

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.

Both the Weihai Heavenly Deity and the Daoist Qianxing were Third-Level Celestial Immortals. Either of them would require at least 3 or 4 Grand Primordials working in unison to withstand their might.

Even the current Lyra would likely be unable to withstand a Third Heavenly Celestial alone, requiring assistance from at least 1 or 2 3 Taiyi Foundations.

When the time comes, the few with Triple Great Unity foundations will be unable to act, and the rest will face the assault of over 70 Half-Step Celestial Immortals from 2 major cave heavens. The losses will undoubtedly be devastating.

At this thought, everyone offered a slight bow to the Soul Patriarch of 10 1000 Spirits as a gesture of gratitude.

After everyone had expressed their gratitude, Eldrin waved his sleeve, revealing numerous treasures, and declared, "Since the beginning of this war, we have defeated the allied forces of 2 major grotto-heavens and seized countless spoils."

"Lower-tier treasures are still being tallied, but the supreme artifacts of Grade 8 and above have all been gathered here."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gaze at the rare treasure before them with a touch of delight.

In this battle, a total of 70-6 Half-Step Celestial Immortals from the 2 major grotto-heavens took part, yet only 9 managed to seize the opportunity to flee and preserve their lives.

The remaining 60-7 Half-Step Celestial Immortals were all slain by the assembly, including even 2 true Celestial Immortals. The treasures reaped from this battle were naturally unprecedented and staggering.

Among these treasures were nearly a 1000 Chaos Creation Treasures and eighth-grade supreme rarities, with 30-6 Great Immortal Artifacts and Celestial Arms among them.

There were a full 4 Innate Treasures (Magic Treasure), consisting of 2 lower-grade Innate Treasures (Magic Treasure) and 2 mid-grade Innate Treasures (Magic Treasure).

The inferior-grade Primordial Treasures were the 'Qianqing Star River Sword' and the 'Weihai Divine Spear'.

The Mid-Grade Primordial Treasure was the 'Primordial Taowu Ancient Sword', along with that revered 'Tai Huang Heaven-Sealing Seal'.

Eldrin carefully examined several treasures before turning to the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits. "Your efforts in this endeavor have been substantial, Ancestor. You may select 1 Primordial Treasure."

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Spirit Venerable immediately shook his head and said, "The Chen Clan alone claims 80 percent of the merits in this battle. I am unworthy of this Innate Treasure."

Eldrin, however, remained utterly composed and remarked with a faint smile, "Had the Patriarch not bestowed upon me the Primordial Gold of Cosmos back then, I might never have reached where I stand today."

"As he spoke," Eldrin gazed up at the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void overhead, knowing full well in his heart that had this treasure not successfully advanced, their repeated major battles might not have ended in such decisive victories.

The Myriad Spirits Ancestor understood his meaning. After a moment of contemplation, he took the Wei Sea Divine Spear and said, "I shall temporarily claim this treasure. When the day comes to break through and ascend to the Minor Universe Realm, it may help accumulate some foundational strength."
