Chapter 1789 : Suppressing the Flamehorn Bovine

At almost the same moment, the 2 Chaos Ancient Ships also launched their attacks. 5 or 6 Annihilation Cannons erupted simultaneously, unleashing their devastating force toward the Chaos Fairy.

This apocalyptic cannon possessed immeasurable destructive power—a single direct strike could grievously wound even a peak ninth-order primordial chaos beast.

Unfortunately, the Chaos Fairy’s form was not large, and unlike the clumsy ancient Chaos Beasts, it moved with the swift agility of an immortal, making it nearly impossible to strike. They could only watch helplessly as the Chaos Fairy evaded the attack.

"This is troublesome."

The 2 Chaos Ancient Vessels failed in their surprise attack, and Eldrin was taken aback.

While setting up the formation, Eldrin suggested they should first cut off 1 of its fingers—using the ancient ship to eliminate or at least severely injure that ninth-grade, top-tier Chaos Flame-Horned Bull.

Unfortunately, the 2 great grotto-heavens were insatiably greedy, insisting on using the Chaos Ancient Ship to gamble on a chance to strike a heavy blow against the Chaos Immortal Spirit.

In their view, if this move succeeded, the battle could be decisively concluded in 1 fell swoop. Even if it failed, the overall situation would remain unaffected.

Although the Primordial Chaos Flame-Horned Ox possessed considerable strength, its power was at most at the seventh or eighth level of the Celestial Immortal realm. In their eyes, it posed no significant threat whatsoever—even if it survived, it could not alter the overall situation.

"What a pity."

Just as Eldrin frowned, the Violet Radiance Daoist sighed softly and said, "Since we failed to eliminate the Chaos Immortal Spirit, we shall proceed with our plan as intended."

As his voice faded, Patriarch Goldenwing was the first to charge into the formation. With a heaven-shaking blade in hand, he swung it down with overwhelming force, striking directly at the Chaotic Immortal Spirit.

Witnessing this, the master of the Skyreach Pavilion and the Violet Radiance Daoist also charged into the formation.

"Boom!"

In that fleeting moment, Golden-Winged Ancestor (Person Name), the Golden-Winged Roc (Spirit Beast), the Lord of the Endless Sea Pavilion (Sect Leader), and the Amethyst Radiance Daoist (Cultivator) joined forces, fiercely engaging the Primal Chaos Immortal Spirit (Mythical Being) in battle.

"Fellow Daoist, let us strike together."

Seeing this, Fairy Qingyan called out to Eldrin and immediately summoned a cyan flying sword, plunging into the formation.

Eldrin could only sigh at the sight before charging into the formation with a hint of vigilance.

Both were late-stage Celestial Immortals, joining forces to battle the Chaotic Flame-Horned Bull. Yet the moment they crossed blows, Eldrin faintly sensed something amiss.

"What immense strength."

Eldrin gripped the 5 Veins Divine Spear, confronting the Chaos Flame-Horned Bull within the primordial void. A mere instant of collision left his limbs tingling with numbness, and his heart sank faintly.

Though the exchange lasted but an instant, Eldrin had already sensed that the strength of the Chaos Flame-Horned Bull had likely reached at least the eighth level of the Celestial Immortal realm.

At that very moment, the remaining 16 primordial chaos beasts also sensed something amiss, charging toward the group trapped within the formation.

"This battle might prove rather troublesome."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then lifted his gaze toward the outer battlefield.

The 9 Celestial Immortals presiding over the formation dared not slack off. They immediately joined forces to activate the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder Annihilation Array. 1 bolt after another of 9 Heavens Divine Thunder tore through the primordial chaos, crashing down upon the horde of primordial chaos beasts.

The power of these divine thunderbolts rivaled that of a late-stage Celestial Immortal. As over 20-some 9 Heavens Divine Thunderbolts descended in succession, 7 or 8 early-stage Celestial Immortal-level primordial chaos beasts were instantly suppressed and slain. The pressure upon the crowd abruptly lessened.

However, the remaining primordial chaos beasts were all powerful creatures of the ninth-rank middle grade, their physical bodies comparable to the perfected innate forms of late-stage Celestial Immortals. Even the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder could not easily vanquish them.

"Roar——"

Just as Eldrin's thoughts wavered, the Chaos Flamehorn Bull went berserk. 1 blast after another of Primordial Chaos True Flame erupted, sweeping across the realm with overwhelming divine power and forcing Fairy Qingyan into relentless retreat.

"Not good."

The Fairy of Azure Mist gasped with a start and immediately turned to the Daoist of Purple Radiance, exclaiming, "My lord, this Primordial Flame Bull is ferocious—none but a consummate Celestial Immortal can withstand it!"

Seeing this, the Violet Radiance Elder couldn't help but slightly furrow his brow.

He realized he had underestimated this Chaos Flame Bull and couldn't help but say, "Hold on a moment longer. I'll have the Ancient Chaos Vessel assist you. Once I've slain the Chaos Immortal Spirit, I'll return to eliminate this scourge."

As the words faded, Elder Ziyao intensified his efforts. 1 Grand Ascension divine art after another shattered the heavens, driving the Chaos Immortal Spirit into steady retreat.

On 1 side, Eldrin and the Cyan Flame Fairy joined forces against the Chaos Flame Bull. As they clashed, they realized this beast was truly unfathomable—even Eldrin found himself under immense pressure.

Fairy Qingyan, possessing only the combat prowess of a seventh-level Celestial Immortal, was naturally no match for her opponent. In less than a 100 exchanges, she was already forced into continuous retreat. Were it not for Eldrin repeatedly extending assistance, she would likely have suffered severe injuries by now.

Fortunately, not only did Eldrin (Person Name) lend assistance, but the 2 Chaos Ancient Ships also aimed their Annihilation Cannons at the Chaos Flame Bull.

Although it was still difficult to slay this late-stage Celestial Immortal primordial beast, it could exert tremendous pressure on the creature, thereby alleviating the burden on the 2 of them.

In the midst of such a fierce battle, hundreds of moves had been exchanged in what felt like a blur, yet neither side could gain a decisive advantage.

Fortunately, as the battle progressed, the scales of victory ultimately tilted in favor of the human race. Although that Chaos Immortal Spirit was immensely powerful—had it been at its peak, perhaps even 5 or 6 perfected Celestial Immortals joining forces would have been unable to slay it—

Yet now, gravely wounded as he was, he found himself at a disadvantage against 4 Celestial Immortals at the peak of perfection joining forces.

Eldrin and Qingyan joined forces. Though Eldrin did not unleash his full power, aided by the Primordial Chaos Ancient Vessel, they fought the Primordial Chaos Blaze-Horned Bull to a stalemate.

The remaining 9 Chaos Ancient Beasts, under the relentless bombardment of the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder Annihilation Array, ultimately began to falter. 1 by 1, the Chaos Ancient Beasts started to fall.

A mere 1 100 years had passed, and the ninth-tier lower-grade Primal Chaos Beasts had already perished completely. After another 5 100 years, even the ninth-tier middle-grade Primal Chaos Beasts began to succumb.

By the time the great war reached its 1-thousandth year, aside from the 2 superior-grade primordial ancient beasts, only the 3 most powerful mid-grade ninth-rank primordial ancient beasts remained standing.

However, judging by the current situation, it seemed these 2 primordial chaos beasts would fall in battle within a 100 years.

"All is proceeding as planned."

Amidst this chaos, the several Celestial Immortals presiding over the formation smiled faintly, their eyes gleaming with subtle amusement.

Given the current situation, once these 2 primordial beasts fall, they would be able to deploy the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder Annihilation Array to hunt down the Chaos Blaze-Horned Ox.

This formation, powered by 9 mid-stage Celestial Immortals, unleashes force nearly equivalent to that of 2 or 3 Great Perfection Celestial Immortals joining hands. When the time comes, the Chaotic Blaze-Horned Ox shall be utterly annihilated, leaving not even a shred of its existence behind.

Once the Chaos Blazing Horned Bull falls, even if that Chaos Immortal Spirit possesses unparalleled combat prowess, it is unlikely to withstand the combined assault of 4 Great Perfection Celestial Immortals and the bombardment of such an array.

"It seems this battle will conclude within 3 1000 years."

In the midst of chaos, the immortals couldn't help but smile faintly. Many had already begun calculating the potential gains from this battle.

Yet at that very moment, Eldrin's brow furrowed slightly as he lifted his gaze toward the depths of chaos.

But the Primordial Chaos Qi surged violently as a heaven-shrouding Primordial Kun-Peng tore through the void. With world-overturning power, it sent everything spiraling into chaos. A single beat of its wings hurled the supreme-grade, ninth-rank Amethyst Radiance Sky-Ship tumbling through the air.

"Not good."

A Celestial Immortal from the Violet Radiance Grotto-Heaven felt his heart drop at the sight, his expression turning exceedingly grave.

Eldrin sensed imminent danger and immediately warned, "The miraculous effects of the ambergris are far too potent. Not only has it drawn the Chaos Immortal Spirits, but even primordial beasts from other distant realms have been lured here."

Upon hearing this, everyone could not help but reveal expressions of utter astonishment.

Eldrin finally understood in his heart that the innate ambergris was truly a double-edged sword. While it could lure the primordial chaos beasts into the trap, it could just as easily attract greater calamities. A single misstep might bring about catastrophic doom.

Seeing this, the Violet Radiance Elder also spoke with an extremely grave expression, "Let the 2 ancient vessels hold off this Primordial Chaos Kunpeng first. We shall deal with them after we slay the Chaos Immortal Spirit."

The 2 Celestial Immortals on the periphery immediately began maneuvering the ancient vessel to entangle the Chaotic Kunpeng upon witnessing this.

This Chaos Roc was also a Chaos Ancient Beast at the late Celestial Immortal stage. Even 2 top-grade, ninth-tier ancient ships fighting against it failed to gain the upper hand; instead, they seemed to be gradually falling into a disadvantage.

A sense of foreboding stirred within Eldrin, yet he knew he must end this swiftly. Holding nothing back, he unleashed the full extent of his true power in a sweeping arc, suppressing the Chaos-Horned Flame Bovine with overwhelming force.

Seeing this, the Violet Radiance Daoist was inwardly startled, his eyes flickering with uncertainty. "This man remains unaffected by the chaos suppression. His combat prowess within the primordial chaos is likely no less than that of a Celestial Immortal at the Great Perfection stage."

"Strike with full force, and swiftly eradicate the Chaos Ancient Beast."

Outside the grand formation, the 9 Immortal Array Masters also unleashed their full power. Not only did they push the formation to its absolute limit, but they also summoned 1 legendary divine weapon after another. These artifacts tore across the heavens and earth with overwhelming force, crashing toward the primordial chaos beast.

Driven by this relentless assault, the 3 primordial chaos beasts—which could have held out for another 100 years—ultimately succumbed. Within mere moments, they were utterly annihilated by the united forces.

After slaying 3 mid-ninth-order primordial beasts, the 9 cultivators disregarded the Primordial Kunpeng lurking at the periphery and immediately summoned the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder to strike the Chaotic Flame-Horned Ox.

With such an array leading the assault, the Chaos Flame-Horned Bull truly could not endure it. Before long, it sustained considerable injuries. Judging by the situation, it would likely be completely annihilated in just 6 100 years.

However, the situation grew increasingly urgent. A mere 1 100 years later, a second Primordial Chaos Beast arrived. Fortunately, this creature's cultivation was only at the early Celestial Immortal realm, posing no significant threat to them.

But ever since this primordial beast arrived, more and more of its kind tore through the void to gather here. By the time over 3 100 years had passed, a dozen or so primordial beasts had converged within this expanse of chaos.

Although the cultivation levels of these primordial chaos beasts were only at the early to middle Heavenly Immortal stage, they exerted immense pressure on both the formation and the ancient vessel.

"If this drags on any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, suppressing the Chaos-Horned Fire Bull with his 5 Meridians Divine Spear before turning to the group. "Fellow cultivators, if we cannot achieve victory swiftly, I fear our lives may be forfeit."

"If you still intend to hold back now, then I shall take my leave."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted slightly. Without Eldrin, a top-tier expert who feared no chaotic suppression, standing at the forefront, their formation would likely be unable to withstand the brute force of the Chaos-Horned Fire Bull.

At that moment, with the formation shattered, they—possessing only mid-stage Celestial Immortal cultivation—would likely struggle to even contend with the horde of primordial chaos beasts outside, inevitably suffering grievous losses.

With this thought in mind, they abandoned all restraint. In an instant, over a dozen profound divine abilities and innate treasures soared through the air—even interspersed with numerous ninth-grade supreme innate ancient talismans—all hurtling toward the Chaos Horned Fire Bull.

Although these profound divine abilities and innate treasures could hardly inflict serious wounds upon the Chaos Flame-Horned Bull, each carried tremendous power. As they bombarded the beast in rapid succession, their collective force suppressed it completely, leaving no room for evasion.

Seizing this opportunity, Eldrin freed his hands and fully unleashed the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, the Ethereal Cosmos Sword Qi of the Primordial Unity, the Celestial Li Twin Swords, and several other divine abilities and immortal treasures, all crashing down with overwhelming force.

The Primordial Blaze-Horned Ox, already grievously wounded by the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder Annihilation Array, could offer no resistance against Eldrin’s full-powered assault.

But the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder first inflicted grievous wounds upon it, then the Ethereal Cosmos Sword Qi of the Grand Unity severed 1 of its thighs, while the Heaven-Sundering Twin Swords pierced deep into its brow.

At last, Eldrin mustered every ounce of his strength, gripping the Void-Sundering Immortal Sword as he tore through the sky and cleaved the head of the Primordial Chaos Flame Bull.

"Moo—"

With the final agonized cry, the Chaos Flamehorn Bull, a creature powerful enough to challenge a Great Perfection Celestial Immortal, ultimately fell beneath the combined assault of the group.

Everyone present drew a sharp breath, their gazes converging upon the Chaotic Immortal Spirit at the heart of the battlefield. Unbidden smiles began to grace their faces.

With the Chaos Flame-Horned Ox gone, Eldrin and the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder Annihilation Array were freed to act. The fate of the Chaos Flame-Horned Ox now seemed all but sealed.

"Chaos Flame Spirit, your end has come."

Daoist Ziyao threw his head back in uproarious laughter. Gripping his Violet Lightning Divine Spear, he soared into the sky, harnessing overwhelming thunderforce to pierce through the primordial chaos and drive the Chaos Immortal Spirit into relentless retreat.

Everyone present also revealed faint smiles.

The Chaos Flame Spirit was born of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Fire, containing within it the supreme principles of flame. Its physical energy rivaled the combined power of several Celestial Immortals at the Great Perfection stage.

Once the origin essence and flesh are fully refined, even a Great Perfection Heavenly Immortal could greatly enhance their foundational reserves. Even if they cannot break through to the Ancient Immortal realm, their strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

If the Purple Firmament Daoist could refine it, his power would undoubtedly advance to the next level, at the very least rivaling the combined strength of 2 Celestial Immortals at the Great Perfection stage.

With this conviction burning in his heart, Daoist Ziyao’s fighting spirit surged to a fever pitch. Wielding boundless divine might, he struck across the 8 directions, suppressing the Primordial Flame Spirit until it could barely hold its ground.

"Human, you deserve to die!"

The Chaos Flame Spirit was nearly driven to madness at this moment. With its limited intelligence, it did not know that Celestial Immortals were suppressed within the chaos, unable to unleash their full power.

In his eyes, these Celestial Immortals were pathetically weak in combat prowess despite being in the same realm. Even if 8 or 9 of them joined forces against him, he could not only rout them utterly but might even succeed in claiming several lives.

For with His cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm, even at his peak strength, He could face 2 Chaos Ancient Beasts alone within the same realm.

It could be said that unless an ancient immortal of great power intervened, he would be virtually invincible among Celestial Immortals.

But now, gravely wounded as he was, even a mere 4 Great Perfection Celestial Immortals dared to hunt him down—this filled him with utter humiliation.

"I refuse to accept this! Every last 1 of you deserves to die!"

As his thoughts wavered, the Chaos Flame Spirit surged with boundless fury into the fray. Its scorching iron staff stirred the very fabric of the 6 directions, defiantly weathering the onslaught of attacks to unleash its ultimate power—a devastating strike aimed directly at the Violet Radiance Daoist.

The Violet Radiance Daoist struggled to defend himself, yet the impact sent him flying backward.

Struck by this enraged blow, a trickle of blood escaped the corner of Patriarch Violet Radiance's lips, clearly indicating he had sustained a rather severe injury.

But he suppressed it instantly, casting a wary glance at the others before saying with feigned nonchalance, "Act quickly, all of you. Let's eliminate this scourge together."

Moving forward, I plan to write chapters with at least 4,000 words each. This way, there will be no need for subdivisions, allowing readers to enjoy substantial chapters in 1 go for a smoother experience, while also maintaining better continuity in my writing. I wonder what everyone thinks about this.
