Chapter 1867 : Alone Against the Crowd

At the same time, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) also approached and couldn't help but ask, "What should we do next?"

Eldrin cast a glance toward the Nether Abyss Purgatorial Sea and the Myriad Ghosts Frozen Cavern, then remarked calmly, "The 2 big fish haven't yet come ashore. If we reveal our strength now, I fear we might startle them away."

Hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) furrowed her brow slightly and said, "If they refuse to emerge, waiting indefinitely would be troublesome. To prove your path to the Great Luo, you require the Great Luo Wind Vein—and it is precisely within the Immortal Ruins Ancient Land, destined to descend in 1 100 1000 years."

"That is indeed true." Eldrin nodded, then continued, "What they scheme for is nothing more than the opportunity of the 100 Tribulations Rebirth."

"I shall grant them this chance, letting those tribulation-takers from the ancient sects fall like rain, hastening the revival of the Great God Qingcang."

As the words faded, Eldrin said with a light laugh, "Some grievances should be settled today."

"Pass down the order. Have them make their move."

At Eldrin's command, the war machine of the Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance roared to life.

The entire Immortal Alliance dispatched over a 100 Celestial Immortals and a dozen or so Ancient Immortals, their might sweeping invincibly across the vast expanse of the 6 Western Celestial Domains.

The great demon clans and the divine race's blessed sanctuaries crumbled overnight. In but a fleeting moment, the entire Western Polar 6 Heavenly Domains underwent a cataclysmic upheaval.

The White Tiger Grotto-Heaven, the Golden Radiance Grotto-Heaven, the Celestial Kettle Grotto-Heaven—1 after another, the grotto-heavens of the demon and god races were besieged and annihilated. In but a short span of time, dozens of Celestial Immortals had fallen.

What left Eldrin regretful was that the true powerhouses of the major grotto-heavens—those from the Great Luo Ancient Clans or the Divine Court and Demon Court—had vanished.

"He's quite the swift runner."

After sweeping through the 6 western celestial domains, Eldrin glanced at the battle report in his hand, his brow subtly furrowing.

The Pure Yang Patriarch, who had allied with the Return Abyss Immortal Alliance, grew somewhat concerned and could not help but remark, "Both the Ancient White Tiger Patriarch and the Golden Radiance Patriarch are experts at the 5 Calamities Ancient Immortal realm. Their escape from the Western Extremity's 6 Heavenly Domains may well bring unforeseen troubles."

"Fear not, the 100 Tribulations Rebirth opportunity lies before them—they will not abandon it."

Eldrin (Person Name) calmly set down the intelligence report and inquired, "How many people do we have now?"

Lior (Person Name), who was responsible for organizing intelligence, glanced at the report in his hand and said, "Our Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance now boasts over 3 100 Celestial Immortals—including the blessed cave heavens from the 6 Western Heavenly Domains and the 100 spirit races that have sworn allegiance to us."

"However, the number of Ancient Immortals fell somewhat short, with only 3 individuals cooperating with us."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. Among the 6 celestial domains of the Western Extremity, only 3 ancient immortal great powers had formed alliances with the Chen Immortal Clan.

The 3 individuals were none other than Patriarch Pure Yang, the ancient patriarch of the Great White Grotto-Heaven, and the third—Tai Cang Di Yang, the foremost Divine General under Eldrin’s command. As for the other ancient immortals and mighty figures who had returned, none had yet entered the tribulation within the Western Extremity’s 6 Heavenly Domains.

At this thought, Eldrin paused briefly with a thoughtful expression, then remarked with a subtle, ambiguous smile, "Though over a 100 ancient immortals have returned to the Qingcang Immortal Realm, only 1 has come back to the Western Extremity's 6 Heavens Domain. It seems they all regard me as their foremost adversary."

The onlookers nearby furrowed their brows slightly upon hearing this.

Seeing this, the Ancient Ancestor of the Taibai Grotto-Heaven stroked his long beard and said, "When you suppressed Patriarch Di Nie all those years ago, you demonstrated strength that overpowered all rivals. Naturally, they wouldn’t dare come to the 6 Western Heavens Domain to partake in the tribulation."

Seeing this, Taicang Diyang looked at Eldrin (Person Name) and asked, “In your opinion, what should we do next?”

"Muster the armies and prepare for war. Then we march upon the Central 7 Heavens Domain."

Eldrin declared decisively. Given his current strength and foundation, within the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, only the Ancient Demon Xuanheng and the 10 1000 Ghosts Ancestor could make him take things seriously.

As for the others, none were worth his excessive attention. Rather than wasting time on intricate schemes, it was better to crush all opposition with overwhelming force.

On this point, the others actually had no objections either. However, Patriarch Chunyang was somewhat concerned and spoke up, "What about the Abyssal Inferno Sea? Should we take some precautions?"

"No need."

Eldrin shook his head and spoke calmly, "Should that Ancient Demon awaken, none present would be able to withstand it."

"If He does not emerge, the others are hardly worth concern. We need only leave a few Celestial Immortals to maintain the Void Abyss Heavenly Formation."

Hearing this, the Pure Yang Patriarch fell silent for a moment before ceasing all further inquiries.

With Eldrin's command, the Abyssal Immortal Alliance began further war preparations. This time, they mobilized the entire power of the 6 Western Celestial Domains, consolidating nearly 2 100 Heavenly Immortal experts while activating a war machine involving hundreds of millions of Immortals and Earth Immortals.

This was an all-out war. Dozens of human clans and hundreds of immortal spirit tribes had dispatched over half of the forces they had accumulated throughout an entire kalpa.

Such a war could be considered an epic battle even in the immortal realms, occurring only once in a kalpa's span of time. For immortals, it would be regarded as a legend in its own right.

After all, even Earth Immortal Patriarchs rarely live through the duration of a single kalpa.

To personally witness such a cataclysm now filled the immortals with both exhilaration and dread—exhilaration at the astonishing opportunities presented by the Tribulation, and dread because since ancient times, over 90 percent of immortals who encountered it had perished.

This is the great Dao of the celestial cycle, governing whether the primordial qi of the immortal realm can be restored—a fundamental principle that prevents the immortal realm from descending into an age of spiritual decay. Without the protection of a Great Perfected Golden Immortal, no celestial being could dare defy it.

In truth, even a Celestial Immortal's chances of surviving the Tribulation Transcendence were no greater than 30 percent.

This time, the Western Qi Divine Abyssal Sea witnessed tens of thousands of vessels setting sail, as countless immortals boarded the Heaven-Opening Ancient Ships and even the Taiyi Ancient Ships.

Eldrin gazed upon the countless immortals and ancient vessels before him, letting out a soft sigh. "Who knows how many of them will survive this kalpic tribulation," he murmured.

With a faint sigh, a trace of compassion flickered in the eyes of the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor. "Since ancient times, those who have survived the kalpic tribulations have been exceedingly few. It can truly be called a fate of 9 deaths and 1 life."

"If we are defeated, I fear they will be completely annihilated. But if we achieve total victory, perhaps more than half of them might survive."

Eldrin fell silent, knowing full well that during the Tribulation, these low-level immortals had no means of controlling their own destinies.

What truly determines success or failure are these Celestial Immortals and even the ancient Immortal Elders. In truth, even the Celestial Immortals are merely larger pawns in the grand scheme.

As for the low-level immortals, they were but ants drifting with the tide, clinging to the hope that the mighty ones they followed could crush the formidable foes within the calamity—only then would they have a greater chance of survival.

At this thought, Eldrin (Person Name) let out a soft sigh before speaking. "They will come to understand they did not pledge their loyalty to the wrong person."

"Waaah—"

A horn blast resounded as millions of ancient vessels finally began to advance.

1 after another, the Heaven-Cleaving Ancient Ships pierced through the skies, heading toward the Central 7 Heavens. The grand army journeyed for hundreds of years before finally arriving at the Central 7 Heavens.

Their blades were aimed directly at the Sunfire Godrealm, joining the fray at the very heart of its most pivotal battlefield.

At this moment, the Azure Sun Divine Realm had long become the most fiercely contested battlefield in the Vast Azure Immortal Domain. Dozens of celestial sanctuaries—including the Violet Tenuity Dao Palace, Azure Sun Grotto-Heaven, Grand Luminescence Ancient Clan, and Vermilion Bird Demon Tribe—had gathered here, with over 800 Celestial Immortals locked in monumental combat.

Even the Ancient Immortal Patriarchs had gathered over 50 in number, making this the undisputed primary battlefield of the Azure Heaven Immortal Domain.

This time, the Void Return Immortal Alliance launched their assault, directly breaking through layer upon layer of battlefields as they advanced straight toward the core of the Solaris Divine Realm. Along their path, they obliterated dozens of immortals.

But just as Eldrin approached the heart of the battlefield, the void suddenly trembled, and 30-some figures tore through the air, materializing right before him.

The newcomers were none other than over a dozen Celestial Immortals from the Taixu Grotto-Heaven. Leading them were the Master of Taixu Sword and Jiang Daoxu, accompanied by several unfamiliar ancient Human Race Celestial Immortals.

The Grand Void Swordmaster spotted Eldrin (Person Name) and urgently called out, "Halt! It's a trap ahead!"

"Oh?"

A flicker of astonishment surfaced between Eldrin's brows.

But at that very moment, the void trembled violently as streams of light tore across the heavens.

A full several 1000 Heavenly Immortal mighty experts, with over a 100 Ancient Immortal patriarchs positioned across all directions, had completely encircled them.

Even more astonishing was the fact that across the vast Expanse of the Azure Sun, a heaven-shrouding array diagram soared into the sky. Countless immortal mountains erupted with peerless celestial light, converging to form a grand formation that sealed the entire celestial realm.

"It's too late for escape now."

In the void of the heavens, a golden sun rose, radiating a brilliance that illuminated all realms.

That was Patriarch Dienye, whose frigid gaze fell upon Eldrin as he uttered in an abyssal tone, "Fellow Daoist of the Returning Abyss, to have cultivated to such heights over these 10 million years—you are indeed the most unparalleled prodigy among humankind ever witnessed in the Vast Azure Immortal Domain."

"Yet Heaven envies the gifted. Today shall be your final hour."

Meanwhile, high up in the void, the Eldrin (Person Name) from the Azure Sun Divine Clan stood poised in mid-air. His gaze descended like a scorching sun from the highest heavens, carrying both awe and regret as he remarked.

"He is indeed a rare genius of the ages. A pity he was not born of our Azure Sun Divine Clan, or this old man would have spared no effort to protect him."

"These mountains are honored to serve as your final resting place. After today, I shall rename this mountain range the Immortal's Fall Ridge."

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

Not far away, the Ancient Azure Dragon of the True Dragon Clan also nodded in agreement, exclaiming in admiration, "In my view, this Fallen Immortal Ridge is destined to become 1 of the great forbidden lands of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain."

"Damn it."

Seeing the group surrounded, the disciples of the Taixu Grotto-Heaven instantly paled. Even the other ancient human immortals exchanged uneasy glances, their expressions shifting with clear hesitation.

It was not that they were not powerful enough, but the sheer number of adversaries at this moment was overwhelming—over 1 100 ancient immortal mighty ones. It was clear they had schemed for years, all to bring about Eldrin's demise.

"Crack, crack, crack."

Yet just as the crowd was gripped with terror, Eldrin broke into a smile and began to applaud.

He surveyed his surroundings, counting them 1 by 1: "Eldrin (Person Name), Ancient Patriarch Qingyang (Person Name), Ancient Patriarch Bifang (Person Name), Ancient Patriarch True Dragon (Person Name), Ancient Patriarch Immortal Phoenix (Person Name), Ancient Patriarch Taihao (Person Name)—for 6 ancient immortals who have weathered 6 heavenly tribulations to jointly besiege this venerable 1 is... understandable."

"Yet the Purple Empyrean lineage is a branch of humanity's Violet Palace Sect. Why must you seek this seat's demise as well?"

The Ancient Ancestor from the Violet Star Cavern cast a frigid gaze upon Eldrin, his eyes glimmering with profound depth as he spoke, "Your potential threat is far too great. Should you be allowed to mature during this tribulation, how could an opportunity like the 100 Calamities Rebirth ever fall to 1 such as I?"

Beside them, an ancient immortal from the Void-Severing Sect let out a bitter chuckle upon witnessing this, then remarked to Eldrin, "The Great Luo Immortal Lord of the Ziwei Sect, Daoist Ziwei, cultivates none other than the Great Dao of Ziwei."

His life and death were entirely in the hands of the Astral Sovereign, so how would the experts under his command dare to defy a true descendant of the Verdant Sun Divine Clan?

"So that's how it is."

Eldrin nodded slightly before speaking, "7 Sixth-Tribulation Ancient Immortals, 121 Ancient Immortal Patriarchs, 3,400 Celestial Immortal powerhouses—along with the experts deployed by the major ancient sects and the 2 Heavenly Courts—should have all gathered by now, I presume?"

Seeing Eldrin remain perfectly composed, the various powerful experts all wore slightly chilly expressions.

The gaze of Patriarch Dienye turned slightly cold as he spoke, "You remain so composed—surely you are waiting for the Ancient Ancestor Changqing and the human forces such as the Great Yang Imperial Clan? Unfortunately, none of them will make it here."

"Even with help, it would be useless."

The Patriarch of the Bifang Clan sneered coldly, his gaze radiating murderous intent. "Even if they could bypass the grand formation—which they cannot—and all arrived here today, you would still be doomed. With the combined might of our 2 Heavenly Courts, 13 ancient clans, and 30-6 ancient sects united against you, your fate is sealed."

"Let's begin."

Boom—

As his voice faded, Patriarch Bifang unleashed his full power. A dazzling immortal lamp shot forth, casting brilliant streams of primordial divine fire that cascaded down, seeking to reduce everyone to ashes.

The True Dragon, Immortal Phoenix, Emperor Nirvana, and other Ancient Ancestors, witnessing this, likewise unleashed their overwhelming divine abilities and ancient treasures, pressing down upon the crowd with immense force.

Eldrin, however, remained utterly composed. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the Chaos Heaven Halberd and swept it across all directions, single-handedly confronting 7 6-tribulation Ancient Immortals.

The moment the battle began, the 7 great 6-calamity ancient immortals paled in shock. They realized that even with all 7 of them joining forces, they held not the slightest advantage against Eldrin. Instead, they were forced into relentless retreat under his onslaught.

The True Dragon Ancient Ancestor was sent flying, coughing up blood from just a casual strike by Eldrin. In utter terror, he cried out, "Disaster approaches! His power has likely reached the realm of a 7 Calamities Ancient Immortal. We cannot oppose him by force."

Patriarch Dijie’s expression shifted slightly. The gap between a 7 Tribulations Ancient Immortal and a 6 Tribulations Ancient Immortal was as vast as an unbridgeable chasm. Without resorting to the trump cards bestowed upon them by their respective factions, even if the 7 of them joined forces, they would stand no chance against a single 7 Tribulations Ancient Immortal.

However, the trump cards bestowed upon them by the Celestial Court and the ancient sects were far too precious—barely potent enough to threaten an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal. Not only did activating them come at an immense cost, but they were also crucial assets in their quest to seize the opportunity of the 100-Calamity Rebirth.

Now that the Great Deity Qingcang has yet to awaken, why would they resort to using it so hastily?

At this thought, Patriarch Dìniè immediately declared, "Suppress him with the formation. Mobilize the power of the entire celestial realm and focus it all upon him alone."

"Very well."

As the words faded, countless fiend immortals and divine spirits began activating the grand formation. The overwhelming formation diagram unleashed its world-shaking divine power, pressing down upon Eldrin with crushing force.

Under such immense pressure, even Eldrin furrowed his brow slightly, yet it relaxed in but an instant.

Under the pressure of such a formation, even an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal would have their strength suppressed by 30 percent. Yet, for 1 who possessed dual True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root), it posed little strain.

Even so, Eldrin pretended to have 30 percent of his power suppressed, holding back a fraction of his strength when he struck.

In truth, Eldrin had not unleashed his full power, for the might of his True Spirit Primordial Soul was far too overwhelming. Had he channeled its entirety into his physical form, it would have been sufficient to suppress all other laws with a single path, erupting with world-shattering divine power that none but an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal could withstand.

The reason for this was that Eldrin feared scaring off the Elder Demon Xuanyan and the Ancestor of 10 1000 Ghosts, while also intending to seize this opportunity to scheme against these 2 demons.

Eldrin alone withstood the full pressure of the formation arrays while locked in a stalemate against the 7 great 6-tribulation ancient immortals. Meanwhile, the rest of the allied forces finally gained some advantage on the other battlefields.

Having mastered the divine ability of the Patriarch rank, Lyra (Person Name) unleashed the Great 5 Elements Pure Yin Divine Thunder with a single strike. The attack instantly annihilated 7 Ancient Immortal powerhouses, among whom was even a 5-tribulation Ancient Immortal.

The crowd was so terrified that they defended with all their might. Over 30 Ancient Immortal Ancestors joined forces, all for the sole purpose of engaging Lyra (Person Name) in an all-out battle.

Seraphina Qu was also exceptionally formidable. Her 7 Ultimate Spirit-Severing Sword had already evolved into the 9 Ultimate God-Severing Sword. This set of innate ancient treasures possessed lethality rarely seen throughout the ages, with its arrayed formation unleashing power comparable to 30-6 supreme-grade innate Taiyi Golden Bamboo Swords.

Relying on this sword formation, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) single-handedly battled over 20 ancient immortal experts, and even faintly gained the upper hand.

The other members of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) also unleashed their formidable might, sweeping through the battlefield with the Great Solar Golden Bamboo Sword Formation (Magic Treasure). Each of them possessed combat prowess comparable to that of ancient immortals who had weathered 5 or 6 heavenly tribulations, gradually tipping the scales of the battle in their favor.

"How is this possible?"

"How could they possess so many Great Yang Golden Bamboo Sword Arrays?"

Witnessing the ancient mighty immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) unleashing their overwhelming power, everyone present was struck with utter astonishment.

At this moment, everyone present was stunned, for the Supreme-Grade Eldrin Gold Bamboo was exceedingly rare. Generally speaking, even if 1 were to cultivate over a 100 million Jade Marrow Golden Shoots, it might not be possible to nurture a single Eldrin Gold Bamboo.

And the Supreme-Grade Eldrin Gold Bamboo was truly a 1-in-a-1000 existence even among all Eldrin Gold Bamboos.

If that were the only issue, given the profound foundations of the various great Luo Ancient Sects, it might not be impossible for them to cultivate a vast quantity of supreme-grade Great Yi Gold Bamboo.

It can deploy the Great Firmament Golden Bamboo Sword Formation, which demands an extremely high affinity with the Great Firmament Golden Bamboo.

Generally speaking, ordinary scattered pieces of supreme-grade Taiji Gold Bamboo could at most be assembled into a Taiji Gold Bamboo Sword Formation composed of 9 bamboo swords. Although such a sword formation possessed extraordinary power, it still hadn't undergone a qualitative transformation.

Only when the Golden Immortal Bamboo shares similar age, identical planting grounds, uniform cultivation methods, and proximate ascension timelines can their Dao patterns and primordial essence align closely enough to form a sword formation of over 9 Golden Immortal Bamboo Swords.

Under such circumstances, only the 3 great Celestial Courts could cultivate a sufficient number of Great Firmament Golden Bamboo Sword Arrays.

The immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) might have been able to produce 1 or 2 sets of the supreme-grade Taiyi Golden Bamboo Sword Arrays, but presenting over a dozen large-scale Taiyi Golden Bamboo Sword Arrays at once truly far exceeded their expectations.

With the aid of the numerous Great Yin Gold Bamboo Sword Formations, coupled with the combat prowess of Lyra (Person Name) and Seraphina Qu (Person Name)—2 ancient immortals who had weathered 7 heavenly tribulations—the tide of battle unexpectedly began to turn in their favor.

Even though the allied forces of the demon race, divine race, and 100 Clans boasted over 1 100 Ancient Immortals—holding an absolute numerical advantage—they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. 1 by 1, Ancient Immortal elders began to fall.

This was only because Eldrin and Lyra, among others, were holding back their true abilities. Otherwise, had they unleashed their True Spirit Divine Powers, the 9-Colored Immortal Light, or the Celestial and Earthly Fiend Golden Bamboo Sword Formation, it would have taken but a moment to eradicate all these ancient immortal ancestors.

Yet even with the 3 holding back, the scales of this war kept tipping back and forth.

The great war had lasted a mere 1 1000 years when the ancient immortals who had begun besieging them had already fallen by more than half. Among them, the 7 great 6-calamity ancient immortals were each gravely wounded.

It was only then that they finally sensed something amiss, snapping back to reality from the overwhelming tide of murderous intent.

The Ancient Ancestor Dì Niè cast a glance at Eldrin (Person Name), his gaze brimming with murderous intent as he declared, "Esteemed colleagues, matters have reached this juncture. We can no longer afford to hold anything back."

"If you wish to scheme for the opportunity of 100 Calamities Rebirth, you should first slay this man and survive this battle before anything else."

"Very well."

The Ancient Ancestor of the Violet Star Dao Palace was the first to speak. With a furious roar, the 6-calamity ancient immortal unleashed an ancient celestial talisman, pressing it down toward Eldrin (Person Name) with overwhelming force.

"Great Luo Ancient Talisman?"

Eldrin's face shifted slightly, his expression instantly turning both shocked and furious. "To resort to external aids—such dishonorable conduct is utterly contemptible!"

This Great Luo Talisman was personally forged by a Great Luo Golden Immortal, sealed within it a sect master-level divine ability of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Though it possessed only 10 to 20 percent of its peak power, it could still be considered peerless throughout the heavens and the earth, potent enough to threaten even an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal.

As the words fell, Eldrin (Person Name) unleashed his full power, summoning his innate spiritual treasure—the Feixian Qin (Magic Treasure)—and plucking strings that released transcendent sonic blades to block the strike.

"Damn, an innate spiritual treasure?!"

At this moment, the others all paled slightly, their faces revealing utter terror. Several among them were about to retreat and flee for their lives.

But at that very moment, the Golden Crow of Imperial Nirvana noticed blood trickling from the corner of Eldrin’s mouth. Unable to contain his ecstasy, he exclaimed, "He hasn’t fully refined the Innate Spiritual Treasure yet! He isn’t a true 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal!"

Lord Bifang was both shocked and overjoyed, immediately exclaiming wildly, "An unrefined innate spiritual treasure—this might be our greatest fortune yet."

"Make haste and strike."

In an instant, everyone ceased holding back, unleashing their hidden trump cards 1 after another.

But then, the Ancient Ancestor of Ziwei activated the Great Luo Ancient Rune once more. The Golden Crow Ancestor summoned a Great Luo Restrictive Artifact—the Golden Crow Wheel. Meanwhile, the Bifang Ancestor ignited a single drop of Great Luo True Blood bestowed by the Bifang Great Emperor, temporarily elevating his cultivation by 1 minor realm.

With the power of a 6 Calamity Ancient Immortal, activating the contingency left by a Great Luo Golden Immortal required an immense sacrifice. Regardless of the battle's outcome, their combat prowess would be drastically diminished thereafter, and they would be unable to unleash such power again for a long time.

However, no matter what, with these methods at their disposal, their strength was no longer what it had been.

It could be said that at this moment, each of the 7 6-Tribulation Ancient Immortals had elevated their combat prowess to the realm of 7-Tribulation Ancient Immortals, with their offensive power alone even approaching that of 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortals.

With the combined strength of these 7 individuals, they could sweep across the entire Qingcang Immortal Realm unchallenged.

Even if the old devil Xuanheng and the Ghost Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits were to awaken and return, they would still be utterly wary when facing the combined might of these 7 individuals, having yet to regain their full strength.

Eldrin faced the 7 opponents before him, sensing a sliver of pressure—yet it was nothing more than this.

At this moment, Eldrin assessed the combat prowess of the group and realized that by unleashing his True Spirit divine ability, he could effortlessly subdue them all.

However, Eldrin (Person Name) refrained from doing so, for if he were to unleash his full power, those 2 would likely flee at once.

"The Great Dao's contingency plan—truly, you are worthy of being called the Great Luo Ancient Clan."

"In that case, let us battle with our full strength."

At this moment, Eldrin also revealed a trace of fighting spirit.

Clad in robes as white as snow, he sat cross-legged high above the clouds, the Soaring Immortal Zither resting across his knees. He faced the 7 supreme beings who had ventured beyond and returned to the Vastheaven Immortal Realm across hundreds of kalpas—yet his composure remained unshaken, a tranquil lake reflecting the tempest.

A world-shaking duel, 1 that would shake the Firmament Immortal Domain and dazzle the next 1 100 kalpas, erupted into its ultimate climax.

Starting today, we're entering the climax of the Heavenly Tribulation. I've specially updated with a 6,000-word chapter, and I'll try to maintain this 6,000-word chapter length going forward. Let's get some engagement, everyone!
