Chapter 1687 : Imperial Son's Defeat

The latest URL: www.ishuquge.la Witnessing this, the Son of the Great Darkness Emperor flicked his sleeve once more, unleashing a wave of black radiance that surged through the cosmos, homing in on Eldrin (Person Name). It was the arcane-level divine ability, ‘Black Calamity Heaven-Sundering Light’.

Eldrin, however, showed no trace of fear. Shielding himself with the Primordial Chaos Aura, he countered with a sweep of his sleeve, unleashing the Ethereal Cosmos Sword Qi of the Great Empyrean.

In such haste, they had already exchanged over 30 moves, and Eldrin had gained absolute dominance.

Clang—

After several dozen exchanges, a clear, melodious sword cry rang out as Eldrin (Person Name) employed the Chaos Soldier Creation Art, manifesting 9 ancient weapons that tore through the sky, nearly shattering every bone in his opponent’s body.

"Impossible!"

The Son of the Great Darkness Emperor revealed an incredulous expression. Having never once been defeated by a foe of the same realm throughout his entire life, he never imagined he would be bested by Eldrin (Person Name) in less than a 100 moves.

At this thought, he exclaimed with immense shock and fury, "Who exactly are you? Which ancient sect of the human race do you hail from as a direct descendant?"

"I am the 1 who will kill you."

Eldrin spoke calmly, then pressed down with a single palm, once again sending his opponent flying with a spray of blood.

This son of the Great Cang Black Emperor truly lives up to his status as a scion of the Great Cang Divine Clan. Having stepped into the forbidden realm of combat prowess, even 3 or 4 ordinary 3 Taiyi Foundation experts joining forces would likely struggle to match him.

But with this level of combat prowess, he could barely match Lyra (Person Name), let alone confront Eldrin (Person Name).

It must be understood that Lyra's cultivation of the 12 Heavenly Layers was, in theory, the pinnacle of forbidden realms. Yet having only established the foundations of the 3 Primordial Energies, the cosmic essence within her remained insufficiently accumulated, and her spiritual power had yet to reach completion.

A few more years, and once Lyra (Person Name) has refined enough Primordial Peaches, allowing her origin essence and spiritual power to accumulate to absolute perfection—while continuously tempering her flawless Triple Primordial Unity foundation—there will still be immense potential for further growth.

At this moment, the Crimson Emperor of Taicang saw clearly that he was no match for Eldrin (Person Name), and fully grasped the gravity of the situation.

He had no time to deal with the foe before him, so he soared across the heavens and joined forces with the Son of the Great Abyssal Black Emperor to hold off Eldrin (Person Name).

Lyra and her companions, including Qing Ji, had initially prepared to intervene, but a single glance from Eldrin conveyed his intent, and they immediately understood.

They immediately freed their hands and engaged the half-step Celestial Immortals of the Demon and God races.

Eldrin faced 2 opponents alone, yet even under the assault of 2 adversaries from the forbidden realms, he showed not the slightest hint of falling at a disadvantage.

Logically speaking, all who had stepped into the forbidden realm possessed combat prowess of comparable magnitude—how could any truly be considered weaker than another?

Yet the combat prowess Eldrin displayed now completely overturned everyone's understanding. Fighting alone against 2 Half-Step Celestial Immortals, not only did he not fall into disadvantage, he battled with near-manic ferocity.

After nearly a 1000 exchanges of fierce combat, Eldrin forced back the Crimson Imperial Scion of Taicang with his Chaos Heavenly Halberd before unleashing his ultimate technique.

In the blink of an eye, the Howling Wind God-Slaying Gourd shot forth, a blade radiance of absolute annihilation piercing through heaven and earth to bore through the center of the Great Cang Black Emperor’s Heir’s brow.

"Pfft—"

The Son of the Great Azure Black Emperor instantly spat blood, his very soul cleaved in 2.

Yet in that very instant, an ancient pearl within his soul shattered, causing his Primordial Immortal Embryo to mend itself anew.

"Not good."

In that instant, the face of the Crown Prince of the Vast Azure Dark Emperor turned deathly pale.

In that very instant, had it not been for an innate mystical treasure within him taking the lethal blow in his stead—shielding his primordial true spirit and halting the corrosion of the innate killing intent—he would have already perished.

Let's go!

In an instant, the Twin Emperors of Taicang could no longer afford to continue the battle and immediately fled into the depths of the void.

This scion of the primordial god clan was truly extraordinary. Even though Eldrin had long deployed the Yin-Yang Void Mirror, using the power of an innate treasure to seal the space, the 2 of them still tore through the void and vanished in an instant.

"What a pity."

Seeing this, Eldrin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He did not press the pursuit, instead continuing to channel the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to envelop the celestial realm. The great battle still raged on.

After the Twin Emperors of Taicang and the 2 Guardian Deities of the Taicang Divine Clan departed, the war plunged into utter disarray.

The other half-step Celestial Immortals from the demon and god races also sought to flee when they saw the tide turning, yet alas, they possessed no means comparable to those of the Great Luo Ancient Sect.

The group pursued and slew relentlessly for what felt like an eternity. In the end, they had eliminated 1 100 and 30-7 Half-Step Celestial Immortals. Only the core disciples of the 6 ancient sects and a handful of other Half-Step Celestial Immortals managed to escape with their lives.

After the great battle concluded, the Heavenly Maiden of Taibai hosted a grand banquet for all within the Taibai Mountain Range.

Since the demise of the Chief Swordmaster of the Taibai Grotto-Heaven, the Celestial Maiden of Taibai has ascended to lead the Taibai Grotto-Heaven.

Now, the Celestial Maiden of Taibai had also cultivated the foundation of the 3 Taiyi. She personally hosted a banquet for everyone, her face radiant with joy as she said.

"This time, I am truly indebted to you for your assistance, Fellow Daoist. My gratitude knows no bounds."

Everyone’s faces lit up with a hint of joy.

Daoist Zixuan shook his head and spoke with a tone of regret: "What a pity. Though we failed to capture the Twin Sovereigns of Taicang, we still managed to detain 9 of the 3 Taiyi cultivators."

The First Holy Son of the Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven gave a faint smile and said, "Figures like the Twin Imperial Sons of Taicang and the direct descendants of ancient sects possess extraordinary protective measures from the very start. Ending their lives is by no means an easy task."

The others also nodded in agreement. In this battle, they had slain 1 100 and 30-7 Half-Step Celestial Immortals, yet among them, only 4 possessed the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation.

Especially those direct descendants of the ancient sects, who had witnessed the Crown Prince of Taicang tear through the void and flee at the first opportunity, barely any of them perished in the heavenly tribulation.

At this thought, the Fengyun Daoist of Fengyun Dao Palace declared, "In the Dao Tribulation, 1 must slay a cultivator of equal rank, or several slightly weaker experts, to resolve the calamity."

"After this crushing defeat, those who have gained some insights will likely enter seclusion to cultivate until they reach the Celestial Immortal Realm, no longer involving themselves in the tribulations."

"Yet those who have not severed their tribulations may well become trouble in the future."

Chen Qiyuan’s gaze flickered faintly as he nodded calmly and said, “Should they dare return, we shall simply cut them down again.”

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but feel a subtle flicker in his gaze.

In recent years, after the Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance successively vanquished formidable foes, they seized countless amounts of refined gold and arcane silver.

Seizing this opportunity, Chen Qiyuan refined and absorbed countless amounts of mystic gold and secret silver. His physical defense had now reached a level where he could withstand direct strikes from mid-grade Taiji Immortal Artifacts. It seemed he was not far from shattering some fundamental limit and stepping into a forbidden realm.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin turned his gaze to the assembly and declared, "With the twin scions of Taicang now routed, the tribulation that plagued the Western Pole Celestial Domain has reached its end."

"Next, it is time to sweep through the Western Extreme Heavenly Domain."

As Eldrin's words faded, the human race immediately set out to sweep across the 6 Western Heavenly Domains.

Amidst the Dao Tribulation, those who had yet to face their calamity found no path of escape. As the human race swept across the realm, the divine and demonic races of the Western Polar Heavenly Domain crumbled like mountains toppling—their forces utterly vanquished in mere centuries.

Apart from those who had successfully weathered the tribulation, the celestial beings, deities, and spirits of the Western Polar Heavenly Domain were nearly wiped out—at least 70 to 80 percent had fallen.

After this battle, Eldrin discovered that the immortal spiritual energy between heaven and earth throughout the 6 Western Heavenly Domains had surged by nearly tenfold.
