Chapter 1684 : Prince of Taicang
Either they possess an innate spiritual treasure to stabilize their fortune, or they are backed by a Great Luo-level figure who spares no immense cost to consolidate their destiny.
After much deliberation, Luo Ming still dared not confirm what kind of power lay behind Eldrin.
He and Daoist Xuanqi could not see through Eldrin (Person Name), their expressions growing solemn as they communicated via voice transmission: "In this campaign to conquer the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea, they have fully refined an entire heavenly realm into themselves, and there are suspicions of an Innate Spiritual Treasure (Magic Treasure) stabilizing their destiny."
"If they can truly sweep through the Dao Tribulation and defeat a protagonist of the tribulation, their future will undoubtedly be boundless."
The 2 continued their silent exchange through spiritual sense transmission, and in the blink of an eye, countless emotions surged through their hearts.
At that moment, Eldrin scanned his surroundings and spoke with serene composure, "Since all of you have fully absorbed the gains from our campaign, the time has come to devise our strategy for the 6 Western Celestial Domains."
Everyone had anticipated Eldrin's words.
Now that we have taken control of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, it is indeed time to advance our plans and prepare to sweep through the great realms.
Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Eldrin unfurled a map of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea with a flick of his sleeve. Ripples of emotion shimmered in his gaze as he spoke, "This is the current state of the war across the 6 heavenly domains of the Western Frontier. Take a look, everyone."
As the map of the 6 Western Heavens Domain emerged, the structure of this realm gradually unfolded before them.
Everyone looked up, and after studying the map for a moment, their expressions grew solemn.
The vast Western Extremity 6 Heavens Domains are comprised of 6 major celestial realms: the Pure Yang Heaven Domain, Western Extremity Heaven Domain, Abyssal Prison Refinement Sea, Great Desert Heaven Sand Domain, Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, and 100 Spirits Ancestral Domain.
Among them, the Pure Yang Heavenly Domain stood as humanity's foremost celestial realm. With the Pure Yang Paradise suppressing all malevolent spirits and demons, no other faction dared to instigate tribulation within its borders.
The Abyssal Refinement Sea is the hell of the demonic race, its power unfathomable.
The Great Desert Celestial Sands Domain is a Buddhist orthodox tradition, ranking last in strength among the 6 Western Celestial Domains. For this reason, several Great Luo forces have also established their presence there.
The 100 Spirits Ancestral Domain served as the territory of the immortal fey races. Though these 100 fey clans stood united against the 3 Celestial Courts, the 4 blessed realms within the domain were controlled by different factions, making its internal affairs far from tranquil.
The Western Polar Heavenly Domain was a land where the 3 great cave paradises of humans, demons, and gods coexisted, making it the most chaotic realm among the 6 heavenly domains of the Western Pole.
Amidst this Dao Tribulation, the Western Pole Heavenly Domain was also the most chaotic region. As many as 9 major factions had plunged into the tribulation here, and there was even 1 suspected to be the protagonist of the Dao Tribulation.
To this day since the inception of the Dao Tribulation, the Abyssal Inferno Sea has remained shrouded in mystery among the 6 heavenly domains. Meanwhile, the calamities that befell the 100 Spirits Primeval Domain, the Pure Yang Heavenly Domain, and the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea have all reached their conclusion.
However, the tribulation in the Great Desert Sky-Sand Domain and the Western Polar Sky Domain remained locked in a stalemate.
Especially in the Western Extremity Heavenly Domain, that suspected protagonist of the Heavenly Tribulation from the divine race had displayed a power that nearly crushed all opposition. Even the Great White Grotto-Heaven suffered unprecedented devastation.
The Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven dispatched over a 100 Half-Step Celestial Immortals to reinforce the front lines, yet the situation remained firmly tilted against them.
After reading the intelligence report, everyone fell into contemplative silence.
A moment later, Chen Qiyuan spoke, "In the Western Extreme Celestial Domain, that 1 from the Tai Cang Divine Clan has already united the demon and divine races, forming a sweeping momentum."
Even with the combined forces of the Pure Yang Paradise, the Great White Paradise, and 2 ancient Daolight sects joining hands, they had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage, barely holding on by relying solely on their mountain-protecting grand formations.
"If we do not lend our aid, once that Tribulation Chosen sweeps through the 4 great factions, our situation will only grow more dire."
Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow.
In this tribulation of the Dao, only 5 great Luo ancient sects from the human race within the 6 Western Heavenly Domains had entered the calamity.
Among these 5 great ancient human sects, 1 was an ancient Buddhist sect, which naturally went to stake its claim in the Great Desert Celestial Sands Domain.
Among the other 4 Great Luo Ancient Sects, the Heavenly Luo Ancient Sect and the Eternal Life Sun Clan chose the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea, while the remaining Great Geng Sword Sect and Wind Cloud Dao Palace headed to the Western Extreme Heavenly Domain.
As for the remaining 3 celestial domains—the Abyssal Infernal Sea, the Primordial Domain of 10 1000 Spirits, and the Celestial Domain of Pure Yang—their structures remained relatively stable, offering no suitable openings for strategic maneuvers. Thus, none of the ancient human sects established their presence there.
In contrast, the Western Pole Celestial Domain, where humans, demons, and deities coexist, is far more chaotic than the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.
If that were all, it would be 1 thing. But the most critical matter was that in the Western Extremity Heavenly Domain, a Daluo True Seed of the Taicang Divine Clan had fallen into a heavenly tribulation.
This man's heavenly talent was far too stunning. In his very first battle since entering the tribulation, he suppressed the number 1 divine scion of the Golden Radiance Cave Heaven with a single palm strike.
In the second battle, he defeated the prodigy of the White Tiger Grotto-Heaven in 3 moves, subduing both the White Tiger Grotto-Heaven and 2 direct descendants of the Great Luo Demon Vein.
Chapter 3: With 9 moves, he crushed the Chief Sword Prodigy whom the Great White Grotto-Heaven had placed their highest hopes upon. Later, he single-handedly confronted 9 Saint-level figures from the Great White Grotto-Heaven, the Longblade Sword Sect, and the Cloud-Wind Dao Palace. After a 1000 exchanges, he defeated every last 1 of them.
Even more terrifying was the fact that even a Celestial Immortal from the Taibai Grotto-Heaven, who had struck out in bitter hatred, had ultimately fallen at this individual's hands.
"9 moves to crush the Taiwhite Sword Prodigy—a supreme dual Taiyi foundation—even 9 Saint-level figures joining forces proved no match."
"It appears this Crown Prince of Taicang is most likely 1 of the 10 chosen protagonists of the Heavenly Tribulation."
Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, his expression profoundly grave as he said.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zixuan’s expression also turned somewhat grave.
With their current foundation of 3 Taiyi realms, they were confident they could defeat a joint assault by 9 Saint-level figures, though it would undoubtedly be a pyrrhic victory.
If the opponent wielded a Taiyi Immortal Weapon or had mastered a Mysterious-grade supernatural power, then they estimated they could only defeat 5 or 6 of them.
Yet from the very moment this Crown Prince of Taicang entered the tribulation, he had already displayed an unstoppable momentum that swept all before him. His combat prowess was likely beyond what any ordinary cultivator with 3 Great Unity foundations could hope to match.
At this thought, Patriarch Zixuan mused thoughtfully, "Across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, a Golden Immortal of the Grand Luo may be addressed as an Immortal Lord."
"Yet those qualified to become Celestial Emperors ruling over their own heavenly courts are all beings at the Quasi-Sage realm."
Thus, within the immortal realm, there exist esteemed titles such as Grand Luo Immortal Lord, Quasi-Sage Emperor Lord, and Primordial Chaos Celestial Emperor. Since this Crown Prince of Taicang is revered as an Imperial Scion, his strength is undoubtedly unfathomable.
Hearing this, the Glazed Divine Monarch also spoke with utmost gravity, "Only by stepping into the forbidden realm can 1 earn the right to be revered as an Imperial Scion."
"This person's strength has likely transcended the 9 Tribulations and stepped into the forbidden realm."
Luo Ming gave a slight nod upon seeing this and said, "The Taicang clan traces its lineage back to the God Emperor of Taicang from the Primordial Divine Court."
And that Great Sovereign of the Vast Heavens was 1 of the 9 Divine Sovereigns of the Primordial Divine Court. His cultivation had reached the Quasi-Sage Realm, and he was among the first batch of Primordial Divine Spirits born at the dawn of chaos.
He was a contemporary of the Great Primordial Divine Sovereign, standing as 1 of the most ancient existences among the 3,000 Immortal Domains.
"This individual is a direct descendant of the Tai Cang lineage, and has been conferred the esteemed title of Imperial Scion. Undoubtedly, he is the most exceptional rising star among the Tai Cang Imperial Clan."
