Chapter 1681 : Lyra (Person Name) Breaks Through

"Ah—"

In an instant, the Elder of the Purple Flame Clan let out a wretched scream as his very soul was shattered on the spot.

It all happened so abruptly. Before anyone could react, they realized the Elder of the Violet Flame Clan had been utterly annihilated, his soul scattered to the winds.

The remaining members of the Nether Dragon Clan and the Celestial Immortal of the Eternal Sun Ancient Clan, the Suns, were inwardly startled, instantly retreating into the depths of the void.

Eldrin sealed the void with the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, only to discover that the Sun Clan Celestial Immortal—aided by an profoundly mysterious treasure talisman—had already escaped with Sun Qian, vanishing beyond the boundaries of the Yin-Yang Void Realm into the vast expanse of heaven and earth.

That Nirvana Dragon Celestial Immortal also sought to flee, but the Myriad Spirits Ancestor entangled him for a fleeting moment, causing him to miss the critical opportunity to escape.

In that fleeting moment, Eldrin and Daoist Xuan Qi closed in simultaneously, completely cutting off any chance for him to escape.

In that moment of despair, the Celestial Immortal of the Nether Dragon Clan roared in fury, "Ah, Xuan Qi, you vile brat! How dare you scheme with such treachery!"

"Ridiculous."

Elder Xuanqi let out a cold sneer, his gaze profound as he declared, "With the enmity between our 2 clans spanning thousands of years, did you truly believe I would genuinely cooperate with you?"

As the words fell, Daoist Xuan Qi stepped forth and soared into the air, forcing the Celestial Immortal of the Nirvana Dragon Clan into a continuous retreat.

At this moment, with the betrayal of the Celestial Net Ancient Sect, the outcome of this war was no longer in doubt.

The Nephilim Dragon Celestial Immortal held out for less than a 100 moves before being surrounded and slain by the trio in the Void Heaven. As for the Quasi-Celestial Immortals of the 3 great factions, aside from a portion of the human race, the rest were nearly exterminated to the last.

"It's over."

After the great battle concluded, Eldrin slowly let out a breath.

He ordered his men to gather the spoils of war, a faint smile gracing his lips as he surveyed the overwhelmingly victorious battlefield.

After the great battle concluded, Eldrin finished surveying the battlefield and discovered he had obtained over 1 billion Immortal Origins, countless Dao Origins, and rare materials beyond measure.

Among them, the most precious were the 6 Innate Treasures.

And these 5 treasures were respectively the Nirvana Dragon Immortal Armor, the Innate Purple Flame Sword, the Purple Brilliance Heavenly Blade, the Purple Jade Immortal Vessel, the Scale-Reversal Ancient Sword, and the Coiled Dragon Ancient Pearl.

Among these treasures, the Nirvana Dragon Immortal Armor, the Primordial Purple Flame Sword, the Violet Jade Immortal Vase, and the Coiled Dragon Ancient Pearl were all lower-grade Primordial Treasures.

The remaining Violet Firmament Blade and the Reverse Scale Ancient Sword were both mid-grade innate treasures of astonishing power.

In addition, there were 2 Primordial Dao Sources, both items of extraordinary value.

With such astonishing gains, Eldrin naturally had no intention of hoarding them all for himself.

He retrieved all the treasures and said with a gentle smile, "Everyone has contributed significantly in this great battle. Let us distribute these Innate Treasures according to your merits."

Hearing this, no 1 present voiced any objections.

This time, the betrayal by the Ancient Celestial Sect led to the enemy's complete collapse, and the military merits were naturally immense.

Seeing this, Daoist Xuan Qi directly chose the Violet Radiance Heavenly Blade, a mid-grade innate killing treasure.

Elder Wanling selected the Violet Jade Immortal Kettle and a strand of Dao Origin. The Violet Jade Immortal Kettle was a supreme treasure for personal protection, while the innate Dao Origin’s value was beyond question.

The remaining individuals, seeing this, likewise exchanged for the items they desired.

The Chen Immortal Clan also reaped immense rewards, obtaining 3 treasures—the Coiled Dragon Ancient Pearl, the Reverse Scale Ancient Sword, and the Primordial Violet Flame Sword—along with the remaining fragment of the Dao Origin.

As for the Dragon Nirvana Immortal Armor, it was exchanged by the Lihyan Deity.

By the time the treasures had been mostly distributed and the crowd dispersed, Eldrin gathered with the members of the Chen Clan.

He handed the Innate Purple Flame Sword to Yan Zi Ji, then spoke, "This time, we have completely taken control of the Western Mist Divine Abyss Sea and obtained countless resources. The grand formation for our breakthrough can now begin its planning."

Everyone was taken aback by these words. Chen Qiyuan couldn’t help but speak up, “To set up an array that can assist your breakthrough, we would need at least 9 Innate Treasures and 80-1 Taiyi Immortal Treasures, not to mention countless lower-tier treasures beyond measure.”

"And even if it were just the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea alone, I fear the power it could gather would hardly suffice to encompass your breakthrough, would it?"

Eldrin nodded, yet replied with a faint smile, "Though a breakthrough remains out of reach for now, it is never too early to lay the groundwork."

"Moreover, I can first use the Western Aura Divine Abyss Sea as the foundation to attempt setting up a minor formation, aiding Lyra (Person Name) in prematurely breaking through to the 3 Primordial Unity Foundation realm."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Similar to Eldrin, Lyra's foundation was also excessively formidable.

Those who tread into such forbidden realms would find it immensely more difficult to break through the perfection of the 3 Primordial Unity Foundations.

For them, what was needed to break through the 3 Taiyi Foundations was not auxiliary treasures like the Innate Taiyi Elixir, but rather artifacts and domains that could help them fully master their own essence.

Understanding this, they knew it was indeed time to prepare for Eldrin's breakthrough.

Kael fell into a brief contemplation before speaking, "Then how should we proceed from here?"

"I have deduced the formation diagram. Arrange your personnel and deploy the formation according to this layout."

Eldrin smiled faintly as he spoke, then produced an array diagram and laid it before the crowd.

With the formation diagram in hand, the Abyssal Sanctuary immediately sprang into action. Aside from those striving to establish their 3 Primordial Unity foundations, all other members swiftly mobilized.

Countless immortals began forging array artifacts, while untold numbers more traversed the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea, surveying locations for array deployment and identifying the formation cores.

Thus time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, 3 1000 years had passed.

Eldrin used 3 Innate Treasures (Magic Treasure), 40-9 Taiyi Immortal Treasures (Magic Treasure), along with tens of thousands of Heaven-Opening Treasures (Magic Treasure) and countless immortal treasures as formation anchors to set up a super array spanning the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

Once the grand formation was laid, Lyra stepped directly into it and began her secluded cultivation to break through to the 3 Taiyi Foundations realm.

Eldrin sat in solemn vigil outside the grand formation, personally safeguarding the ritual. In what seemed but a dazed moment, 1 1000 years had drifted by like fading incense smoke.

Until this day, when the light within the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea trembled violently, an unprecedented radiance erupted, then slowly receded into nothingness.

Eldrin raised his head and saw Lyra, clad in a flowing gown, step gracefully from the formation. 1 divine halo after another shimmered around her, illuminating the heavens like a peerless celestial maiden descending to the mortal realm, her radiance transcendent.

"You've broken through."

Eldrin murmured softly, a glimmer of delight flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, even Eldrin sensed a trace of pressure emanating from Lyra.

As 1 who had opened 12 celestial layers, Lyra had now forged the foundation of the 3 Primordial Energies. Though it would be presumptuous to claim she transcended the Forbidden Domain, she could be considered a nearly invincible existence within it.

Including the innate spiritual power she had converted through the lotus platform, Eldrin even suspected that Lyra's current strength might have already surpassed Level 3 of the Celestial Immortal realm.

"Hmm."

Lyra gave a slight nod, stepped forward to stand before him, and said, "With this breakthrough, even if we encounter another siege by Celestial Immortal mighty figures, I can lend you a hand."

My head is killing me today, and I feel these 2 sections read rather monotonously. But with this splitting headache and my mind all muddled, I'll simplify this part of the plot for now. I'm going to sleep.
