Chapter 1868 : Xuanheng Ancient Demon

This world-shaking confrontation erupted as Eldrin (Person Name), wielding the innate spiritual treasure Flying Immortal Zither, stood alone against all challengers. The battle plunged the entire Qingyang Divine Realm into chaos, darkening the skies and obscuring the earth.

Their great war had raged for nearly a 1000 years. By the final battle, all 7 were grievously wounded, and Eldrin too stood with his white robes stained crimson, bearing injuries of catastrophic severity.

Yet at this very moment, Eldrin revealed a smile.

"You have been defeated."

Eldrin spoke slowly, his fingers dancing across the strings of the feixian qin(Magic Treasure). A celestial melody surged across the heavens, striking directly toward the Ancient Bifang Patriarch.

"Ah—"

At the brink of life and death, the Ancient Patriarch Bifang, drenched in blood, descended into madness. He sought to push his bloodline to its absolute limit in resistance. Yet, after a battle lasting over a 1000 years, that single drop of Great Luo True Blood within him was nearly exhausted. How could he possibly withstand the divine power of an Innate Spiritual Treasure?

With a thunderous boom, the corporeal form of the Bifang Demonic Ancestor utterly exploded, its primordial spirit and magical power dissipating into ethereal immortal radiance.

"No—"

Seeing this, the other 6 all revealed expressions of despair.

They never could have imagined that Eldrin's (Person Name) spiritual power would be so profound. Even while channeling the innate spiritual treasure, he could still maintain peak combat prowess after a 1000-year great war.

But now, they had reached the end of their rope—how could they possibly withstand the might of an innate spiritual treasure?

But it was already too late to flee. The grand formation spanning the entire Qingyang Immortal Domain had not only trapped them all, but also severed their retreat completely.

Eldrin remained seated high upon the celestial dome, the innate spiritual treasure in his hand once again surging with divine power of annihilation. Beneath the enchanting strains of immortal melody, the head of the Ancient Ancestor of Polaris exploded, while the Primordial Azure Dragon was torn asunder by ethereal sound blades.

The Ancient God Qinghuan desperately sought to flee at any cost, yet his steps faltered for a moment—and in that instant, the Chaos Heavenly Halberd pierced straight through his chest.

The Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Phoenix and the Ancient Ancestor of the Taihao Clan also descended into madness, yet in the end, they could no longer reverse the inevitable. They were executed by Eldrin (Person Name) in the void above the heavens.

Thus, 7 6-Calamity Ancient Immortals, each possessing a trump card of the Great Luo, had fallen, and this battle finally drew to a close.

"Haa—"

Eldrin let out a slow sigh of relief, realizing that Lyra and the others had completely overturned the situation. Nearly all of the ancient immortals from various races had been decimated, while the Celestial Immortals, Earth Immortals, and ordinary immortals were being relentlessly hunted down by the ancient sects of the human race.

"This battle has finally come to an end."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, a faint smile inadvertently gracing his lips, only to suddenly cough up a mouthful of blood. His face turned deathly pale.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) hurried over to support him, her face filled with utmost concern as she said, "How are you feeling?"

"No matter, I've only sustained some minor injuries."

Eldrin spoke slowly, gathering the Dao Origins of the 7 individuals before remarking, "This great battle has yielded us immense gains. Once we fully assimilate these spoils, my injuries will be completely healed, and my strength is certain to advance by no small measure."

Hearing this, everyone revealed faint smiles and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

But at that very instant, a violent roar echoed between heaven and earth, followed by astonishing transformations across the vast firmament.

Yet within the entire Qingyang Divine Realm, the massive formation began to crumble. A single ‘Black-Crimson Demon Pearl’ emerged at the heart of the earth, while high above in the firmament, a colossal black banner unfurled, shrouding the heavens.

That black-red demonic pearl devoured the blood of the fallen multitudes, while the black banner absorbed the shattered souls of hundreds of millions of immortals from perished races.

Thus, with both forces joining together, they subdued the vast heavens and earth in the blink of an eye, plunging everything into darkness.

"Not good, someone is plotting against us in the shadows."

In that very instant, Eldrin's expression shifted abruptly. Without hesitation, he channeled his energy into the Flying Immortal Zither, aiming to shatter the blood-red formation array and the black banners upon the earth.

But it was already too late. The assailant had clearly been scheming for years, silently seizing control of the Celestial Sun God-Realm’s domain using an Innate Devil Treasure. Over the course of more than 2,000 years of great war, it had absorbed nearly all the lingering souls and blood.

It was already fully formed, and far too late to stop it now.

"Many thanks, young friend, for lending us a helping hand."

At that very moment, a timeworn laughter echoed from the void.

But then, as the black banner absorbed countless remnant souls, an elder clad in gray robes emerged from within.

Elsewhere, from within that Black Blood Pearl, a soul emerged, stepping forth as it molded boundless fresh blood into the form of a handsome man cloaked in black robes.

Primordial Devil Treasure: Banner of 10 1000 Souls, Primordial Devil Treasure: Profound Heng Devil Pearl.

Looking at the 2 figures, Eldrin's expression shifted slightly, his gaze turning solemn as he said, "Xuanheng, the Ancient Demon, and the Ancestor of 10 1000 Ghosts. As expected, you did not perish completely."

The Myriad Ghosts chuckled deeply, stroking his beard as he declared, "Within my Banner of 10 1000 Souls reside hundreds of millions of spirits. Each spirit carries a wisp of my will. So long as a single soul remains unextinguished, I shall never truly perish."

"As long as the Profound Heng Demon Pearl remains indestructible, this venerable 1 shall possess an immortal form. In truth, our patriarch merely utilized their hands to shed his mortal vessel through cosmic severance in the Qingcang Celestial Realm."

Xuanheng, the Ancient Demon, also let out a cold laugh, his gaze indifferent as he remarked, "You don’t actually believe that a dozen or so Ancient Immortal powerhouses, aided by the Heavenly Dao of the Qingcang Immortal Domain, would be enough to utterly annihilate me, do you?"

Eldrin nodded, yet inquired, "The Heavenly Dao of the Qingcang Immortal Domain possesses boundless power, guarded by the 4 Celestial Beasts who suppress all realms. How, then, did you manage to prevent them from intervening?"

"Or perhaps, you have other allies?"

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, then turned his gaze toward the distant void and said, "There is another fellow Daoist present. Since you have come, why bother hiding in secrecy?"

"Fellow Daoist Guixu, your insight is truly remarkable."

At that very moment, the void trembled faintly as a figure clad in dark imperial robes strode forth. His gaze rested on Eldrin with an amused smile.

"It's him."

At that very moment, the Ancient Ancestor of the Great White Cavern Heaven nearby suddenly changed his expression, his face turning profoundly grave as he spoke.

Eldrin (Person Name) froze for a fleeting moment, then turned to the Ancient Ancestor of Taibai Grotto-Heaven and inquired, "Fellow Daoist, you know this individual?"

"Hmm." The Ancient Ancestor of the Great White Grotto-Heaven paled slightly before speaking, "This individual is named the Nether Emperor, the sovereign ruler of the Netherworld within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain. He exists beyond even the ranks of the 10 Yama Kings."

As early as 3 billion years ago, he had already cultivated to the realm of a Seventh Tribulation Ancient Immortal. Back when Fairy Fuyao failed her Great Perfection Ascension, it was because he launched a surprise attack from behind.

Eldrin (Person Name) grasped the general sequence of events upon hearing this.

It turned out that 3 billion years ago, the Fairy Fuyao had shaken the entire Qingcang Immortal Domain with her might. Her cultivation had broken through to the realm of 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal, and she had mastered the authority over the Heavenly Dao of the entire Qingcang Immortal Domain.

At that time, the Ascendant Fairy sought to break through to the Great Luo Realm, harnessing the heavenly power of the Qingcang Celestial Domain to confront her unparalleled adversary from the depths of chaos.

But at this critical moment, the Nether Emperor launched a covert assault and seized half of the authority over the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, causing Fairy Fuyao's breakthrough to ultimately fail.

After that great war, the supreme heavenly domain of the Celestial Realm—Qing Cang Heaven—was shattered. Since then, the authority over the Heavenly Dao of the Celestial Realm could never be unified again, leading to the complete decline of the Celestial Realm. Never again would a 4 Calamities Ancient Immortal ascend from its native soil.

"Lord of the Taibai Sword?"

At that moment, the Nether Emperor also caught sight of the Ancient Ancestor of Taibai Grotto-Heaven. He couldn't help but let out a cold sneer, saying, "3 100 million years have passed, yet you remain at the 4 Tribulations Ancient Immortal realm. Truly, you've made no progress whatsoever."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Taibai Sword paled slightly, yet ultimately fell into silence.

Back in the day, he had departed the Qingcang Immortal Realm shortly after first stepping into Ancient Immortalhood. He later sought refuge with the Great Luo Ancient Sect. However, the path of cultivation beyond Ancient Immortalhood was perilous and arduous, demanding vast resources and exceptional talent to advance even a single step further.

With his mediocre aptitude, he failed to gain the favor of the Daluo Ancient Sect. Each time a kalpic tribulation descended, he had to pay a steep price to seek the sect's protection, causing his cultivation progress to remain sluggish.

In truth, had it not been for his qualification to partake in the 100 Tribulations Rebirth opportunity, the Great Luo Ancient Sect might not have sheltered him for so long.

"This is no time for reminiscing."

Eldrin spoke with an air of detachment, his voice calm yet carrying an undercurrent of solemnity. "I never imagined you would descend into the demonic path as well. If my conjecture is correct, you utilized the authority of the heavenly laws over the Netherrealm to restrain the 4 Guardian Spirits of the Realm from intervening?"

"I have no other choice."

The Underworld Emperor spoke with a detached tone, his gaze profound as he said, "The path of orthodox cultivation is far too arduous. Without sufficient backing to obtain an innate spiritual treasure, it would be wiser to collaborate with Daoist Xuanheng. Seizing the opportunity of rebirth through a 100 calamities, we shall sacrifice this Vast Azure Immortal Domain."

"Using this as material to forge an Innate Devil Treasure could very well become a majestic path forward."

Eldrin finally understood everything upon hearing this.

It turned out that the 3 of them had long since devised this scheme, laying the groundwork for billions of years—all for this very day.

The reason for choosing this moment was that when the Great Divinity Qing Cang was reborn, both the Heavenly Dao and the primordial essence of the entire Qing Cang Immortal Realm were exerting their full power to aid in his revival.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao of Qingcang Immortal Domain could not spare much power. Yet the instant the Great Divinity of Qingcang awakened only to be slain, the entire Heavenly Dao of Qingcang Immortal Domain would suffer a devastating blow—that would be its most vulnerable moment.

When the time comes, they might seize the opportunity to blood-sacrifice all living beings and the essence of heaven and earth, potentially destroying the entire Qingcang Immortal Realm.

Even if the plan were to fail, merely obtaining the corpse of the Great Eldrin and a portion of the Primordial Essence would allow them to forge at least 1 or 2 Innate Demonic Treasures, bringing about a qualitative transformation in their own strength and foundational reserves.

If the plan truly succeeded, they would likely break through to the Great Luo Realm in 1 fell swoop, transcending their destined paths to become legendary Great Luo Demon Monarchs.

"What a cunning scheme."

Eldrin nodded slowly, pressing his palms together in admiration. "With 2 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals and a supreme 7-Calamity Ancient Immortal who commands the Authority of the Netherworld Heavenly Dao—the 3 of you joining forces to weave this grand design over billions of years... there might truly be a chance of success."

"Pity, you have encountered this venerable 1. Your defeat today is preordained."

"Is that so?"

With a cold sneer, a menacing gleam in his eyes, Old Demon Xuanheng spoke, "Had you been at your peak, or had you fully digested the gains from this battle and recovered from your injuries, we might not have been confident in slaying you. But now, severely wounded as you are, what fraction of your strength remains?"

The Myriad Ghosts Old Devil also let out a cold laugh and spoke bluntly, "Enough talk. Let's settle this with action."

As the words fell, the 10 1000 Ghosts Old Demon was the first to strike. In an instant, he brandished the Banner of 10 1000 Souls, unleashing over 10,000 terrifying evil spirits—each 1 shockingly comparable to the realm of Ancient Immortals.

Although these spirits were merely ghost immortals, lacking physical bodies and far inferior in combat power to ancient mighty cultivators, the combined force of over 10 1000 malevolent specters was still earth-shattering—sufficient to effortlessly slay a Seventh Tribulation Ancient Immortal.

At the same time, the Ancient Fiend Xuanheng also made his move, summoning the Xuanheng Demon Pearl to suppress the area, intending to join forces in vanquishing Eldrin (Person Name).

"They are far too powerful, you need not intervene."

Seeing the 2 fiends immediately unleash their Innate Spiritual Treasures, Eldrin dared not show the slightest negligence and swiftly motioned for the others to retreat from the battlefield.

He then activated the Flying Immortal Zither to counter the Banner of 10 1000 Souls, immediately engaging in a fierce battle against Elder Demon Xuanheng. In an instant, a confrontation rarely seen in the mortal realm erupted.

The moment they crossed blows, Eldrin suddenly felt a slight sense of relief.

In that moment, he realized his combat prowess was truly extraordinary. Even while besieged by 2 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals and 1 peak-level 7-Calamity Ancient Immortal, he felt no significant pressure.

After a quick assessment, he roughly gauged his combat prowess and realized that the True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation truly lived up to its reputation as the supreme foundation capable of suppressing all other paths. It was far more formidable than he had ever imagined.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) calculations, once 1 cultivated the True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation, even with cultivation at the First Heavenly Tribulation Ancient Immortal realm, they would possess strength slightly surpassing that of an ordinary 8 Heavenly Tribulation Ancient Immortal.

With the foundation of a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) established, breaking through other Great Luo Heavenly Barriers would further enhance 1's combat prowess.

Under normal circumstances, an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal who has cultivated a single True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation, when combined with means such as an Innate Spiritual Treasure and Great Luo Divine Abilities, would be capable of fighting 1 against 5 when facing ordinary 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortals.

Now that Eldrin had cultivated a True Spirit Divine Soul and achieved 11-cycle magic power alongside an 11-cycle physical body, he could likely contend against 4 or 5 ordinary 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals even without employing his True Spirit supernatural abilities.

If he were to utilize his true spirit abilities and confront the enemy with a dual True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation, his combat prowess would surge yet another significant notch. An 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal would likely not last a 100 moves against him.

Even if the 3 joined forces now, Eldrin could find the opportunity to defeat them 1 by 1 within a 1000 moves if he fought with his full strength.

At this moment, Eldrin was fighting 1 against 3. Though the battle appeared perilous and unpredictable, he had yet to unleash his full strength.

The reason for this was that Eighth-Tribulation Ancient Immortals possessed extraordinary escape capabilities. If they sensed danger and could not be dealt a crippling or fatal blow in a single strike, even being surrounded by 5 times their number of Eighth-Tribulation Ancient Immortals might not be enough to keep them from fleeing.

If the 2 of them were fully committed to fleeing, even Eldrin had no confidence in keeping them both.

At this moment, Eldrin was suppressing his combat power. Though he appeared to be in dire straits under the assault, he was merely waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

The 3 of them continued their fierce battle. After over a 1000 exchanges, Eldrin deliberately revealed a flaw, enduring a direct strike from the Nether Emperor before being trapped by the malevolent spirits of the 10 1000 Soul Banner.

"Perish!"

Seeing Eldrin trapped, the Old Demon Xuanheng let out a loud laugh and summoned his Xuanheng Demon Pearl, hurling it straight toward Eldrin.

The strike of the innate demonic treasure was overwhelmingly terrifying, carrying the crushing weight of a vast primordial continent of chaos. A single blow could overturn the entire celestial realm and reduce an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal to dust.

Yet Eldrin’s eyes lit up as he seized the opportunity to unleash his True Spirit Divine Ability.

In an instant, a colossal hand of chaos that blotted out the skies tore through the void, instantly suppressing the Xuanheng Demon Pearl firmly within its palm. Despite the demon pearl’s frantic struggles, it was powerless to reverse its fate.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the Profound Abyss Demon Pearl being suppressed, the Ancient Profound Abyss Demon felt a surge of terror. Without hesitation, it immediately abandoned the Profound Abyss Demon Pearl and fled for its life.

"What a pity."

Watching him flee, Eldrin was momentarily taken aback. His Chaotic Divine Thunder of Slaughter lay concealed and ready to strike. Had Xuanheng Ancient Demon attempted to reclaim that treasure—even for a single instant—he could have annihilated him in 1 blow.

Failing to kill the Profound Abyss Elder Demon, Eldrin immediately tossed the Chaos Divine Thunder to the Nether Emperor.

Facing such a strike, even after dominating the world for 3 billion years, the Nether Emperor found himself utterly powerless to reverse his fate. In an instant, he was utterly obliterated, reduced to ashes.

"Bzzz—"

At the same time, realizing the peril, the 10 1000 Ghosts Old Demon immediately attempted to retreat and flee. Unfortunately, it was already too late.

But high in the void, a resplendent ancient pearl descended with crushing force, sealing off all paths of retreat.

It turned out Eldrin had planned everything from the start—his initial goal was to suppress the Xuanheng Demonic Pearl, then obliterate the Ancient Xuanheng Demon with Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder.

Another companion innate spiritual treasure, the Guixu Pearl, employed its spatial power to trap the Myriad Ghosts Old Demon, intending to slowly suppress and annihilate him.

At this moment, the Myriad Ghosts Old Demon, trapped by the Return to Ruins Pearl, desperately activated the Banner of 10 1000 Souls in despair. As the souls within the banner continuously merged, they transformed into a colossal ghost-god that blotted out the sky and eclipsed the sun. With power capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, it struck through the void in an attempt to shatter the Return to Ruins Pearl’s seal.

If Eldrin (Person Name) were to stand by idly, there truly might be a chance for him to escape—but how could Eldrin ever allow such a thing?

With a mere flick of his sleeve, the Soaring Immortal Zither stirred up overwhelming waves of sonic blades that swept across all directions, suppressing the sky-obscuring ghostly deity into continuous retreat, utterly shattering his last vestige of hope.

Without the assistance of the Ancient Demon Xuanheng, how could he withstand Eldrin (Person Name) unleashing his full power alone? In merely a few dozen exchanges, Eldrin (Person Name) utterly annihilated his physical form, leaving only a wisp of his shattered soul to flee into the 10 1000 Souls Banner (Magic Treasure), clinging to a wretched existence.

"You cannot escape."

Eldrin spoke slowly. After firmly suppressing the Myriad Soul Banner, he activated the Chaos Grindstone to crush this innate demonic treasure, gradually reducing it to fragments under the relentless pressure.

If it were an Innate Numinous Treasure, Eldrin (Person Name) might have needed to expend considerable effort using the Chaos Millstone to completely eradicate it.

Yet despite the immense power of the innate demonic treasure, its material form was exceedingly fragile. In mere moments, it began to fracture incessantly, while countless malevolent souls trapped within unleashed bloodcurdling shrieks of agony.

"Spare my life!"

At this life-or-death moment, the Ghost Ancestor cried out in despair. Yet Eldrin showed no mercy, his expression frosty as he relentlessly crushed and obliterated this innate demonic treasure.

Meanwhile, the old fiend Xuanheng fled from the heart of the battlefield.

But as soon as he fled, he discovered a sky-obscuring sword formation descending upon him.

1 100 and 8 Great Yang Golden Bamboo Swords materialized, transforming into the Minor Heavenly Cycle Sword Formation of Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends. In an instant, it sealed the heavens, earth, mountains, and rivers, cutting off his escape route.

The 1 who struck was none other than Lyra. She had refrained from joining the battle precisely to conserve her strength, waiting for the critical moment to cut off his retreat.

"Not good."

A jolt ran through Old Demon Xuanheng’s heart. The sword formation composed of these 108 innate ancient swords possessed power sufficient to suppress even an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal.

Even at his peak, he would have had to tread carefully when facing this sword formation. Now, deprived of the Profound Abyss Demonic Pearl, he was like a tiger with its fangs pulled—his strength diminished by 80 or 90 percent. How could he dare confront it directly?

In the blink of an eye, he immediately turned around and fled back the way he had come.

"You cannot escape."

At that very moment, an ethereal female voice came from behind.

A figure clad in snow-white robes stepped through the void, and with a flick of his sleeve, summoned a massive glacial mountain to crash down upon them.

Primordial Ice Phoenix!

The moment he laid eyes on that figure, Old Demon Xuanheng’s face twisted into a mask of venomous malice.

The 1 who struck was none other than the Primordial Ice Phoenix. The massive glacial mountain range she summoned turned out to be none other than the Fallen Phoenix Ridge—1 of the forbidden lands within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

It turned out that after the battle at the end of the Primordial Era, when the Sacred Ice Phoenix fell, its innate spiritual treasure also shattered into fragments, scattering across the Phoenix Fall Ridge.

Later, the Ice Phoenix Saint Spirit revived and discovered that the innate indestructible radiance of her companion spirit treasure had completely merged with the Fallen Phoenix Ridge. Thus, she laid down a grand domain formation, spending countless kalpas of time to refine the Fallen Phoenix Ridge into her own innate destiny spirit treasure.

At this moment, as the Descending Phoenix Ridge came crashing down, the ancient demon Xuanheng, in utter despair, sought to pay a tremendous price to escape with his life through the Blood Evasion Art.

But at that very moment, a dazzling 9-colored immortal light swept over, firmly trapping him within the void.

"My life is over!"

In that fleeting moment, the ancient demon Xuanheng turned back in despair, only to find that Seraphina Qu (Person Name) had unleashed the 9-Colored Immortal Radiance, severing his last sliver of hope.

Before he could gather another thought, the Ridge of the Fallen Phoenix came crashing down, utterly annihilating both his physical form and spiritual essence.

Yet after this strike, the Ancient Ice Phoenix's expression shifted slightly as she said, "Truly worthy of being a scheming old fiend—he actually has another card up his sleeve!"

"Bzzz—"

Meanwhile, within the Abyssal Refining Prison Sea, a figure clad in black robes suddenly opened his eyes, unleashing an overwhelming aura of supreme power.

Had Eldrin been present, he would have undoubtedly recognized this figure as the very same 'Lord of Black Clouds' who had seized possession of the Master of the Minor Universe all those years ago.

At this moment, the Dark Cloud Demon Lord awoke, unleashing an aura comparable to that of an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal, only for it to plummet instantly to the 7-Calamity level—so unstable that he could barely maintain even that realm.

He took a deep breath and gazed toward the direction of the Qingyang Divine Realm, murmuring, "True Spirit Divine Arts, the Primordial Ice Phoenix, the 9-Colored Immortal Clam, and the Minor Zhoutaiyi Golden Bamboo Sword Formation... I have lost this battle to no shame."

"Fortunately, this old man had long prepared this crucial contingency plan, or I'm afraid today would have left me without even a patch of ground for a burial site."

As the words fell, he did not hesitate in the slightest. With the aid of the Heavenly Dao Source Artifact of the Nether Abyss Purgatorial Sea, he arrived beyond that chaotic embryonic membrane.

Yet the moment he emerged within the chaos, his footsteps faltered slightly, and an unprecedented despair washed over his face.

Yet within that chaos, a massive black True Dragon coiled, its form so immense and boundless that the greater part of its body remained concealed within the chaotic mists. Even the old demon Xuanheng could not discern its true scale.

Chaos Saint Spirit, 8-Calamity Black Dragon.

Xuan Heng, the Elder Demon, spoke slowly, his voice thick with despair. "For billions of years, I have roamed the primordial chaos, confident that my intellect and schemes were unmatched across the ages. Never did I imagine that today, every single path of retreat would be foreseen and sealed by you."

"Alas, to perish by your hand—I, Xuanheng, have no grievances in this defeat."

Meanwhile, a figure clad in snow-white robes strode forth from the void.

He gazed at Elder Demon Xuanheng and spoke with serene finality, "I grant you passage to the heavens."

In an instant, overwhelming Chaos True Fire surged forth, completely annihilating him within the chaos.

After slaying the Elder Demon Xuanheng, Eldrin collected the wisp of Dao Origin and nodded toward the Chaotic Black Dragon. "Ao Hong, you’ve done well."

"Argh—"

Ao Hong let out a dragon's roar, transforming into a small dragon that affectionately circled around Eldrin (Person Name), nuzzling against him before finally disappearing into his sleeve. (End of Chapter)
