Chapter 1777 : Banner of Dutian Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root)

"Hahaha! A mere Fourth Heaven Immortal, yet in possession of such a priceless treasure. It seems this venerable ancestor's fortune has arrived today."

The Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Ancestor roared with laughter. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned a crimson banner, unleashing a torrent of True Flame that surged forth.

This small banner, known as the Dutian Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Banner, was a top-grade innate treasure of the fire attribute that the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Ancestor had acquired at a steep price.

This banner can unleash innate Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) fire, which most effectively counters immortal treasures of ice and water attributes.

Yet beneath the raging inferno’s scorching blaze, the barrier formed by the Taihan Snow Lotus rippled faintly.

"It can be broken!"

At the same time, Divine Abyss Daoist and Giant Axe True Monarch struck simultaneously. The Ancient Sword of Divine Abyss and the Heaven-Cleaving Giant Axe tore through the vast primordial chaos as they assaulted the barrier.

For a moment, the Great Cold Snow Lotus flickered between existence and extinction, teetering on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, the Celestial Maiden couldn't help but voice her concern, "This is bad. My spiritual power is insufficient. Facing the assault of 3 opponents, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out much longer."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Ancestor laughed maniacally, pushing the All-Heaven Blazing Banner in his hand to its limits. As torrential flames surged forth, he arrogantly declared, "You're merely at the Fourth Heavenly Immortal Realm—your spiritual power can never match ours."

"Even with a Quasi-Primeval Ancient Treasure protecting you, how long could you possibly hold out?"

The muscular Giant Axe True Monarch swung his massive axe, its blade cleaving through the chaotic energies and sending shockwaves across the 8 directions, like a primordial deity splitting heaven and earth at the dawn of creation.

Every strike of his cleaved through the primordial chaos, carrying an oppressive force that sought to annihilate all existence. His gaze, profound and unreadable, rested upon the Celestial Maiden as he spoke.

"Surrender the supreme treasure and accept my enslavement contract, and I may grant you a reprieve from death."

Clang—

Just then, a voice drifted over.

Eldrin expanded the Earthen Sovereign Bell to assist the Celestial Maiden in blocking the assault, then with a flick of his sleeve, summoned the Heaven-Severing Twin Swords. The interweaving blades crisscrossed through the air, deftly restraining the lethal techniques of the crowd and allowing the Celestial Maiden to feel the pressure diminish significantly.

Although the 3 possessed extraordinary strength, they found themselves momentarily unable to break through the 2 opponents' techniques, leaving them utterly astonished.

"Merely at the early stage of Celestial Immortal, yet possessing such methods."

The Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Ancestor's gaze turned icy as he instantly pushed the Dutian Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Banner in his hand to its limits.

"Not only that," he added, turning to the Divine Abyss Elder, "Fellow Daoist, you must unleash your full power. Otherwise, once the Spear God is defeated, the 2 of us will have no choice but to flee for our lives."

It turned out that even at this stage of the battle, Daoist Shenyuan had only employed the Ancient Abyssal Sword in combat, yet to unveil his ultimate trump card—the Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron.

In his view, once the Daoist of the Divine Abyss summoned the Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron (Magic Treasure), this Extreme Cold Snow Lotus (Heavenly Treasure) would undoubtedly shatter in response.

Once deprived of this supreme protective treasure, Eldrin and the Celestial Maiden—both at the early to middle stages of Celestial Immortality—could be effortlessly subdued with a single hand.

However, Daoist Shenyuan, who was well aware of Eldrin's strength, did not believe that a single Shenyuan Ancient Cauldron alone could defeat the enemy.

He took a deep breath and declared resolutely, "Everyone, if we wish to slay this fiend, we cannot hold back in the slightest."

"Whatever trump cards you've been keeping up your sleeve, now is the time to unleash them."

As the words fell, Daoist Shenyuan flicked his sleeve and summoned a dazzlingly brilliant small sword.

But the small sword swelled with the wind, instantly transforming into a sky-obscuring, sun-blotching sword aura that slashed out, piercing toward the barrier formed by the Eldrin Snow Lotus.

Profound Qi Immortal-Slaying Sword Talisman.

Witnessing this scene, everyone present was momentarily stunned.

This Profound Qi Immortal-Slaying Sword Talisman was a unique talisman treasure, forged from a fraction of the origin essence of the lifebound immortal sword of the Profound Qi Sword Immortal—1 of the 10 Great Sword Immortals of the Frigid Immortal Realm.

This talisman can be used 3 times, with power comparable to a full-force strike from an Eighth-Level Celestial Immortal. It was acquired by Daoist Shenyuan at great cost.

This item was originally prepared to deal with a late-stage Celestial Immortal primordial beast. However, since the leader of the Primordial Dragonwolves had been severely wounded by the Ancient of the Distant Shores, the battle proceeded more smoothly than anticipated. Thus, he had preserved it for future use.

At this moment, to deal with 2 early to mid-stage Celestial Immortals, Daoist Shenyuan actually deployed such a trump card he had kept in reserve. This greatly surprised Patriarch Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) and Giant Axe True Monarch.

"Be careful."

Just as the crowd was struck with astonishment, the light screen formed by the Arctic Snow Lotus finally gave way under the relentless assault and shattered with a resounding crash.

Eldrin acted decisively, summoning the Primordial Chaos Qi True Aura to block the coordinated assault of the crowd.

Clang—

With a single move blocking the assaults of several top-grade Innate Treasures, Eldrin ceased all concealment. With a sweep of his sleeve, he unleashed the Chaos Soldier-Forging Art.

In an instant, 9 primordial Chaos Weapons soared into the sky—ancient cauldrons, immortal bells, divine furnaces, celestial blades, pagodas, immortal swords, archaic mirrors, divine spears, and heavenly halberds—all erupting with overwhelming chaos energy to suppress all directions.

Although the Chaos-Derived Arms Art was merely a Mysterious-class divine ability, the power it unleashed within the chaos proved unexpectedly formidable.

Eldrin could sense it clearly—the very moment the Chaos-Forged Armament Art manifested its divine weapon, boundless chaos energy surged into its form, amplifying the might of his Dao supernatural power by more than 50 percent.

In an instant, 9 Chaos Ancient Soldiers soared into the sky, each 1 materializing like primordial treasures that suppressed the 8 directions. They erupted into a staggering collision with the 3 cultivators’ divine weapons and ancient artifacts.

"What formidable divine power."

Giant Axe True Monarch summoned his colossal axe, sweeping across all directions in a fierce clash against the 9 primordial chaos armaments. The earth-shaking collisions reverberated through the cosmos as he ruthlessly shattered 3 of the chaos armaments—the Celestial Blade, the Immortal Slaying Sword, and the Pagoda of Treasures.

Yet Eldrin merely flicked his sleeve, and the celestial blades, immortal swords, and divine pagodas manifested once more, descending flawlessly to continue their suppression.

This shocked him beyond measure, his gaze filled with profound alarm as he uttered, "The Chaos Attribute Divine Art this person cultivates is far too compatible with the chaotic energy streams, allowing them to unleash power far surpassing their own cultivation level."

"Chaos Attribute Divine Power..."

At this moment, everyone present felt utterly astonished.

It must be understood that Chaos-attribute divine abilities were exclusively wielded by the Divine Kings of the Primordial Era, the Great Emperors of the Demon Race, and the Quasi-Sage Emperors of the Human Race.

As for beings like Divine Kings, Great Emperors, and Quasi-Sages, they have all surpassed the Great Luo Golden Immortals, mastered fragments of the authority over the Chaos Great Dao, and taken half a step into the realm of Chaos—transcendent existences beyond compare.

As a Chaos Divine Ability that only such figures could cultivate, it demonstrated just how rare Chaos-attributed divine abilities truly were.

This divine ability of the Chaos attribute manipulates the ultimate energy of the boundless void. Not only does its power far surpass that of ordinary divine abilities, but it also remains completely unimpeded within the chaos itself.

Though merely at the early Celestial Immortal stage, Eldrin had cultivated a Chaos-attributed divine ability. It seemed he had only grasped the faintest traces of it, far from unraveling its essence, yet this alone would likely astonish countless Great Perfected Golden Immortals.

"This child must not be allowed to live!"

In the flicker of a thought, the 3 exchanged a glance.

The Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Ancestor took a deep breath and declared resolutely, "Esteemed colleagues, if you possess any trump cards, now is the time to unleash them without reservation."

"Then let's begin."

The Giant Axe True Monarch finished speaking and immediately retrieved a crimson pill, swallowing it in 1 gulp.

The moment he swallowed that elixir, Giant Axe True Monarch let out an agonized roar. His innate true form, already coiled with bulging muscles, swelled instantaneously, transforming into a supreme figure akin to a primordial chaos fiendgod.

"Die!"
