Chapter 1742 : 3 Consecutive Victories

"How could it be so powerful?"

Witnessing the Heavenly Sea God being forced into continuous retreat, the Golden Flame Ancestor was utterly astounded. He realized that if this continued, the Heavenly Sea God might face defeat in less than a 1000 moves.

Thus, with a surge of resolve, he unleashed his ultimate trump card, striking with full force in an attempt to defeat Lyra (Person Name) and shatter the deadlock.

Yet Lyra (Person Name) froze momentarily, her brow furrowed. With a flick of her sleeve, a set of formation flags soared out and enveloped her within the array.

8 Trigrams Formation Banner of the Primordial Chaos!

Golden Flame Ancestor’s heart jolted, a trace of terror flashing across his expression.

After the 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree evolved into an Ancient Primordial Tree, the 8 Trigrams Array Flags had already ascended to the Primordial Realm. The combined power of these integrated array flags now rivaled a slaughter formation at the late-stage Celestial Immortal level.

At this moment, as Lyra deployed this formation against her foe, even the Golden Flame Ancestor was utterly outmatched, defeated in merely over 3 100 moves.

After the defeat of Golden Flame Ancestor, the outcome for Vastsea Celestial God was naturally without any suspense, as he too fell before the combined might of the assembled experts.

"With 2 victories in 3 bouts, the outcome of this sword contest is now beyond doubt."

Seeing the victory in the second sword duel, a faint smile surfaced on Eldrin's face.

Of the 3 sword duels, the first and second are the most crucial. Victory in these 2 contests alone would guarantee the Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance at least a 50% share of the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea.

This third sword duel was merely an added bonus.

Even so, neither side gave up on the final sword duel.

After their final deliberations, the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven and the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven dispatched Daoist Yuanzhi and the Serene Water Celestial. Both were flawless Celestial Immortals with Triple Taiyi Foundations—the former having reached the Fourth Celestial Layer, while the latter was at the Third Celestial Layer.

On the other hand, the Return Abyss Immortal Alliance dispatched 4 Imperial Son-level Flawless Celestial Immortals: Chen Xianqing (Person Name), Ancestor Qing (Person Name), Liyan Shenling (Person Name), and the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord (Person Name).

These 4 individuals were all prodigies of unprecedented talent. Having undergone the 30-3 Heavens Grand Formation to rebuild their foundations, their innate gifts and latent potential were now beyond compare to their former selves. In particular, Chen Xianqing—the fourth maiden—now possessed strength that could rival even Qing Ji herself.

In this clash between the 2 sides, the outcome held no suspense in the end. Chen Xianqing held off Daoist Yuanzhi, while the remaining 3 joined forces to besiege the You Shui Tian Shen. In less than a 1000 exchanges, they had already defeated the You Shui Tian Shen.

The Daoist Eldrin possessed extraordinary combat prowess, yet even he could hardly withstand the assault of 4 opponents. In the end, he had no choice but to retreat in defeat and concede.

After Daoist Eldrin was defeated, Purevoid remarked with a subtle smile, "In this Sword Duel, the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance has achieved 3 consecutive victories."

"However, the 2 great grotto-heavens are also exceptionally powerful. In my opinion, the authority over this Heaven's Dao Source Artifact should be split 60-40. What do you think?"

At this point, Chunxuzi continued: "The Abyssal Immortal Alliance holds 6-tenths. As for the remaining 4-tenths, shall your 2 blessed realms each take half?"

Hearing this, the Heavenly Lord of Western Qi slightly furrowed his brow.

Originally, the God of Western Qi had controlled 60 percent of the authority over the Heavenly Dao Source Artifact. Yet after this battle, only 20 percent remained in his grasp, leaving him deeply resentful and unwilling to accept the outcome.

In his original estimation, he had expected to control at least 40 percent himself, leaving the remainder for the Eldrin Immortal Alliance and the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven.

The expression on Divine Abyss Daoist’s face was equally unpleasant. Unfortunately, having lost this battle to Eldrin (Person Name), he lacked the confidence to refute any further. With a cold snort, he withdrew and departed.

Seeing the Daoist Shenyuan depart, the Heavenly Deity of Western Qi had no choice but to abandon his plans for further contention. After all, without the assistance of Shenyuan Grotto-Heaven, his own power alone was insufficient to challenge the present-day Abyssal Immortal Alliance.

Watching the 2 cave heaven elders depart, Eldrin wore a faint smile as he promptly cupped his hands toward Chunxuzi and said, “My gratitude for your assistance today, Fellow Daoist.”

Chunxuzi gave a faint smile, stroking his beard as he replied, “There’s no need for formalities—it was but a small favor. The reason we secured such a substantial share in this battle lies chiefly in the extraordinary prowess of all fellow practitioners present.”

Eldrin heard this and understood that in this world, strength ultimately dictated 1’s voice. If the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance lacked sufficient power, then even with Pure Emptiness Master’s backing, it might not be possible to secure such a large share.

Of course, the fact that Chunxuzi, acting as the intermediary, managed to transform the imminent clash between both parties into a 3-round sword duel was also a matter of great significance.

Otherwise, given the strength of the 2 great cave heavens—Shen Yuan and Xi Qi—should the 3 sides truly engage in all-out war, both would likely suffer devastating losses.

毕竟归墟仙盟的天仙虽然都是战力非凡，但到底都是新晋天仙，面对两大洞天的几位天仙中后期，根基底蕴终究还是浅薄了一些。

If both sides were to fight with their lives on the line, the early-stage Celestial Immortal cultivation base would ultimately prove somewhat inadequate. In particular, the several Flawed Celestial Immortals would face a high probability of falling.

To return to our story, after defeating the 2 great grotto-heavens, Eldrin and the others stepped into the Abyssal Sea. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before a churning chaotic abyss.

"Is this the Chaotic Abyss?"

Eldrin gazed into the chaotic abyss before him, his expression growing solemn.

Deep within the Abyssal Ocean, an endless chasm tore through the void, stretching into the boundless chaos beyond.

Within the vast Cavernous Abyss, boundless currents of chaotic qi surged and roiled, held at bay beyond the chasm by an immense grand formation.

At the very heart of the grand formation, a resplendent ancient seal floated in rhythmic motion, inhaling and exhaling the boundless primordial chaos, transmuting it into inexhaustible chaotic energy.

"This object is the Heavenly Dao Source Artifact of the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea—the Primordial Chaos Seal."

Gazing upon this Heaven's Dao Source Artifact, the Vastsea Celestial God slowly spoke, a trace of covetousness surfacing on his face.

This Primordial Chaos Seal is the foremost treasure of the Xī Qì Shén Yuān Hǎi (Mystical Realm), ranking among the most supreme innate ancient artifacts. It bears the heavenly Dao authority over the entire Xī Qì Shén Yuān Hǎi. By completely refining it, 1 would gain the empowerment of the entire Primordial Chaos Seal.

If it could refine this object and receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao of the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea, it would possess combat prowess rivaling the Ancient Immortal Realm.

More importantly, the wielder of the Heavenly Dao Source Artifact could anchor their primordial spirit within the ancient seal, granting them a near-immortal and indestructible ability. Even if slain, they could resurrect by drawing upon the power of the Heavenly Dao origin contained within the Xī Qì Shén Yuān Hǎi (Mystical Realm).

Of course, with the Heavenly Dao now dissipating in the Vast Azure Immortal Realm and no Great Luo Golden Immortals guarding it, reviving through the Heavenly Dao Source Artifact has become even more arduous.

Relying solely on the innate power of the Heaven's Dao Source Artifact could, at most, resurrect a person once, as it would deplete over half of its internal essence. To achieve a second resurrection, it would require accumulating energy for at least 1 100 million years.

"This Heavenly Dao Artifact appears to be akin to the supreme treasures of heaven and earth in the Earth Immortal Realm."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, realizing that this Heaven's Dao Source Artifact was likely the ultimate evolution of a supreme treasure of heaven and earth.

Within the 20-4 Heavens of Eldrin's (Person Name) Realm of Returning Abyss, each heaven contains a primordial treasure of cosmic origin, such as the Cavern Abyss Gourd, the Pure Yang Seal, the Stellar Pearl, the Void Cosmos Mirror, the Aurora Vase, and others.

Within these primordial treasures lies the authority over a single heavenly law. By fully refining any 1 of them, 1 could ascend as a Realm Sovereign, wielding combat prowess at the Taiyi realm.

These Emperors had anchored their primordial spirits within their respective Primordial Treasures. Even if they were to fall in the midst of a heavenly tribulation, Eldrin could still consume the essence of the Returning Abyss Heaven to resurrect them.
