Chapter 1944 : 9 Extremes Divine Lord

Thinking of this, Eldrin focused his entire being, awaiting the next opportunity for the Thunder Cannon to strike.

"Bzzz—"

Before long, the Dao patterns on the Primordial Chaos Sky Ship began to emit immortal light as the Thunder Cannons commenced their recharge once more.

At that very moment, Eldrin took a deep breath and decisively activated the Crimson Wolf Ancient Cannon.

Boom—

In that instant, the Thunderclap Cannon and the Crimson Wolf Cannon fired almost simultaneously.

The former struck the grand formation, while the latter instantly blasted against the Primordial Chaos Sky-Ship.

The Primordial Chaos Sky Ship was suddenly assaulted. Before it could even turn its helm, it suffered devastating damage in an instant.

Of the 20-some Chaos Gods aboard the ancient vessel, many reacted swiftly, evading the strike in the first instant. Yet a handful moved a fraction too slow, caught by the residual shockwaves that left them grievously wounded.

"Damn it, it's the Crimson Wolf Cannon."

In that instant, the Chaos Sky Kui Bull soared into the air, covered in dust and grime, its expression twisting with overwhelming fury.

Gripping the Primordial Thunder Spear, his face a mask of shock and fury, he stared at the Chaos Heaven Ancient Vessel. Yet he discovered the vessel was grievously wounded; repairing it would likely consume at least several kalpas.

At this thought, the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull roared with unparalleled fury, "9 Extremes Divine Lord, there's no need for you to hide any longer."

"Today, this venerable 1 shall slay this whelp of the Returning Abyss. Lend me your aid."

"Heh heh—"

Just then, a light chuckle echoed from within the chaos.

But deep within the vast chaos, a peerlessly handsome man in long robes came treading through the void.

Holding a folding fan, he resembled a peerlessly elegant young master. With a casual glance at the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull, he remarked lightly, "Given our cultivation levels, joining forces to deal with a few newly-ascended Great Luo would become the jest of the realms if word spread."

The Primal Chaos Sky Bull did not respond, only replying coldly, "Once we kill them, you and I can turn our forces to attack the Celestial Net Ancient Sect."

"When the time comes and we emerge victorious from the battle, I shall hand over the 'Heavenly Net Creation Diagram' to you."

"Deal!"

The 9 Extremities Divine Monarch snapped his fan shut and immediately agreed without hesitation.

As the words fell, the 2 of them did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately launching their assault on the grand formation of the 7 Immortal Domains.

The strength of an Eighth-Level Great Roaming Immortal was truly formidable. Any 1 of them could take on at least 3 Seventh-Level Great Roaming Immortals simultaneously, and those with exceptionally solid foundations might even contend against 5 at once.

Thus, with 2 supreme Great Luo joining forces, the combat prowess they displayed was destined to be utterly astonishing.

They led over 20 Chaos Fiends, relentlessly assaulting the 7 Immortal Domains Formation, shaking the entire array violently in an instant.

"What formidable power."

Witnessing this scene, the expressions of everyone in the celestial realm shifted subtly.

"It seems this formation is likely unable to hold."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, his expression grave as he said, "Once the formation is broken, the Violet Pole Ancient Phoenix (Mythical Beast) will immediately flee for its life. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be able to lure away the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull (Mythical Beast) and its 7 subordinate Chaos Fiends (Cultivation Entity)."

"However, the remaining 16 Chaos Fiends should by no means be underestimated."

"Remember, your primary strategy in this great battle is to stall. You only need to hold out until the formation is restored, and the entire tide of battle can be reversed."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, fully aware of the gravity of the situation.

Once the formation was broken, not only would they lose the enhancement of the formation, but they would also forfeit the empowerment of the 7 Luminaries Ascension.

On their side stood 15 Great Perfection Golden Immortals, including 3 at the late stage and 1 at the eighth level. In such circumstances, a direct confrontation would undoubtedly be courting death.

Only by stalling until the formation revived would they have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

At this thought, Lyra reminded him, "We could further shorten the distances between the 7 Great Immortal Domains, then position the battlefield near them. My lord can confront that Great Luo Golden Immortal of the eighth level, while we rely on the Immortal Domains for defense."

Moreover, the guardian spirit of the immortal realm, bolstered by the realm's own power, could barely hold its own against an early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The others also nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

The guardian spirits of the 7 Immortal Domains varied in strength, yet bolstered by their respective domains, each possessed at minimum the capability to contend with a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

That was a full 30-5 Guardian Spirits of the Realm. Even if they couldn't defeat a late-stage Great Perfected Golden Immortal by joining forces, they should at least be able to hold off all the early-stage Great Perfected Golden Immortals, significantly reducing their own pressure.

At this thought, Eldrin nodded and immediately declared, "In that case, we shall proceed as planned."

As the words fell, everyone began to further compress the distance between the 7 Great Immortal Domains.

Before anyone realized it, the distance between the 7 Immortal Domains had shrunk to a mere 1 100 Dao-paths.

A mere 1 100 dao-units of distance would take an ancient immortal 1 100 years to traverse, yet a Great Luo Golden Immortal could cover it in just 10 breaths. To them, it was but a stone's throw away.

Within this range, the combat prowess of the Immortal Realm's True Spirit could also be maintained at its peak level.

"It seems they know they can't hold out, so they're huddling together for a final, desperate struggle."

Elsewhere, as the distance between the 7 immortal domains continued to shrink, the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull let out a cold sneer.

The 9 Extremities Divine Lord also nodded, his expression calm as he stated, "No matter how desperate the struggle of a cornered beast, facing the crushing weight of absolute power, it is nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Boom—

As the words fell, the 9 Extremes Divine Lord instantly struck, unleashing 9 dazzling divine rays that swept across heaven and earth, pressing down upon the formation until it was riddled with cracks.

Witnessing this, the Chaos Sky Thunderbeast unleashed his Thunder God Spear, its dazzling radiance piercing through the primordial chaos. With the power to annihilate all existence, it crashed thunderously against the formation.

"Crack!"

Then, a shattering sound erupted as the Zhou Tian Celestial 7 Stars Grand Formation crumbled into nothingness.

"Whoosh—"

In that very instant, at the heart of the 7 Great Immortal Domains, a thunderous immortal light erupted.

Suddenly, a violet phoenix wreathed in thunderous lightning beat its wings and soared, breaking through the weak point in the Chaos Fiend Gods' formation. Not even several Great Perfection Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal Chaos Fiend Gods could intercept its escape.

"It's her!"

In that instant, the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull first froze in astonishment, then erupted into ecstatic delight.

He instantly abandoned the battlefield without a second thought, immediately chasing after the Violet Extreme Ancient Phoenix: "Violet Extreme Ancient Phoenix, this time I will never let you escape again."

Seeing the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull give chase, along with the 7 Chaos Fiends of the Kui Bull tribe under his command, they abandoned the immediate battlefield to encircle and block the Violet Zenith Ancient Phoenix.

Primal Chaos Kui Bull.

The 9 Extremes Divine Monarch revealed an expression of shock and fury, yet could do nothing but resign himself to the inevitable.

The Violet-Pole Ancient Phoenix holds the key to whether the Primal Chaos Kui Bull can break through to the Great Perfection stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Before such a profound opportunity, what significance do these mere 9 battlefields of early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals hold?

But in the blink of an eye, the 9 Extremes Divine Monarch withdrew his thoughts, a faint smile instead gracing his lips.

He immediately summoned 9 dazzling innate artifacts soaring into the sky, sealing off the chaotic expanse of the 7 Immortal Domains. Then he turned his gaze toward Eldrin before him and said, "Had you fled earlier, you might have grasped a sliver of survival."

Eldrin (Person Name) gripped the Chaos Heavenly Halberd, his expression frosty as he declared, "Even if I don't flee, I fear nothing."

"Is that so?"

The 9 Extremities Divine Lord nodded, then cast a derisive glance at the crowd gathered beyond the immortal domain and sneered, "Staying outside the immortal domain—are you afraid of being picked off 1 by 1?"

"What a pity. Had you chosen to defend from within the celestial realm, you might have lasted a while longer."

"Now... prepare to meet your end."

The 9 Extremes Divine Sovereign was the first to strike, maneuvering his folding fan in a sweeping arc that unleashed a force capable of conquering all realms.

Eldrin soared into the sky, the Chaos Heavenly Halberd gripped firmly in his hand, and clashed with his opponent in a world-shaking collision. To his astonishment, he realized he hadn’t been forced into a disadvantage.

Since the Primordial Chaos Immortal Body had advanced to the mid-stage of the Great Perfection realm, it was no weaker than a seventh-layer Great Perfection Golden Immortal who had mastered the Path of Dao. Bolstered by his primordial spirit and the support of the Great Dao, he now barely possessed the qualifications to contend with a Great Perfection Golden Immortal.

In such circumstances, the 2 sides had exchanged several dozen moves, and the 9 Extremes Divine Monarch couldn't help but reveal a look of genuine focus.

"The Great Immortal of the Flesh Sanctification Path at the mid-stage?"

The 9 Extremities Divine Monarch spoke slowly, his expression turning grave for the first time. He gazed at Eldrin and declared, "You truly live up to being a Celestial Emperor’s True Seed. A pity you have encountered this Sovereign."

"Face your doom!"

As the words faded, the 9 Extremes Divine Monarch manifested 9 beams of polar light, converging into a 9-colored immortal sword that cleaved through the air. Where it passed, primordial chaos was torn asunder, and all existence split in 2.

Eldrin dared not show the slightest negligence. Instantly pushing his cultivation base to its absolute limit, he summoned the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand to counter the attack, successfully blocking his opponent's seemingly unstakenable, world-shaking divine technique.

"Die!"

At that moment, the 3 Divine Generals—Barren Silence, Pi Xiu, and Ba Xia—also took action, leading a host of Chaos Fiends in a fierce assault.

Lyra and the others did not dare slack off in the slightest, immediately stepping forward to block the crowd.

The opposing side had 16 Chaos Fiendgods, while the Abyssal Immortal Alliance possessed 12 Great Luo Golden Immortal-level combatants: Eldrin, Lyra, Qing Ji, Seraphina Qu, Yan Zi Ji, Lila, Lu Lu, Chen Ethan, Ao Hong, the Primordial Ice Phoenix, the Blazing Phoenix, and the Samsara Avatar.

Although the Abyssal Sanctuary Alliance was vastly outmatched in both numbers and average cultivation level, they held the decisive advantage of fighting on home ground, fully leveraging terrain and popular support.

But within the 7 great immortal domains, over 30 Guardian True Spirits including Xuanqing Yi (Person Name), Li Huang (Person Name), and Xuanwu Laozu (Person Name) soared into the sky, charging toward the battlefield with matchless power.

These celestial true spirits are manifestations of the celestial domain's heavenly laws, embodying the great Dao of the entire realm. With the celestial domain's empowerment, they possess combat prowess at the very threshold of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage at minimum.

Although it was merely the threshold of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, aside from the 5 True Spirits of the Guixu Immortal Domain, the True Spirits from other major immortal domains often required 2 or 3 joining forces to contend against a single Great Luo Golden Immortal. Nevertheless, this was sufficient to influence the battlefield to a certain extent.

Among these Chaos Fiendgods, there had originally been 12 at the early Great Luo Golden Immortal stage. Now, 4 of them had followed the Hun Tian Kui Niu to pursue the Zi Ji Gu Huang.

The remaining 8 early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals were at a disadvantage against these 30-some True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) from the immortal realm, and were quickly intercepted.

Without these 8 early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals, the remaining Chaos Godfiends were left with 8 against 12, making the situation considerably easier.

Eldrin intercepted the 9 Extremities Divine Lord, while Lyra, Qing Ji, and the Reincarnation Body could only separately hold off the 3 divine generals: Desolate Silence, Pi Xiu, and Ba Xia.

In truth, the 2 women and the Reincarnation Body had already possessed combat prowess equivalent to the sixth level of the Great Luo Realm the moment they first stepped into it.

Over the years, as their cultivation grew increasingly profound, all 3 had reached the Third Level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Their combat prowess had improved dramatically compared to when they had first stepped into the Great Luo stage.

But even this was still insufficient to contend with a Seventh-Level Great Golden Immortal, merely placing him at the half-step Seventh-Level Great Golden Immortal realm.

In such circumstances, facing the onslaught of 3 Divine Generals, the trio still found themselves struggling to hold their ground. Left with no alternative, they had no choice but to seek assistance from Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Lila (Person Name), and Yan Zi Ji (Person Name) to lend them a helping hand.

Over the years, the cultivation bases of Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Lila (Person Name), and Yan Zi Ji (Person Name) had steadily advanced to the third level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, with their combat prowess already ranking among the pinnacle of the sixth level.

Seraphina Qu's combat prowess was fundamentally built upon the foundation of the 6 Great True Spiritual Roots, while Lila and Violet Enchantress excelled in support capabilities, sufficiently capable of tipping the scales in battles of this magnitude.

Under such circumstances, the 6 of them joining forces finally managed to hold off the 3 Divine Generals.

The remaining 4 Chaos Fiends at the mid-stage Great Perfection Golden Immortal realm were assigned to Chen Ethan (Person Name), Ao Hong, Chi Huang, Primordial Ice Phoenix, and Lu Lu.

Among them, both Lulu and Chen Ethan (Person Name) possessed extraordinary combat prowess, allowing them to hold their ground for the time being.

In this situation, after they had exchanged several dozen moves, the Chaos Fiends finally sensed something amiss.

那荒寂神将一击击退轮回身，不由有些惊异的说道：“不过大罗金仙初期而已，居然就有如此战力，汝究竟是何人？”

"Your executioner!"

The Reincarnation Body spoke coldly, sweeping the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) divine blade through the chaos. Riding the Great Dao of Reincarnation, it struck across all directions, erupting into a staggering battle with the Desolate Silence General.

"Overestimating your own capabilities."

"It seems you have yet to comprehend that between each realm of the Golden Immortal lies an insurmountable chasm, where every breakthrough elevates 1 to heights beyond mortal reckoning."

The Desolate God of War grew even more detached and aloof. With a sweep of his Celestial Halberd, he cleaved through all directions, striking the Incarnation of Samsara until it spat blood and was sent flying backward.

It was not that the Reincarnation Body lacked power, but rather that the gap between each realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal grew increasingly vast.

Particularly for those who have reached the Great Ascension Realm beyond the seventh level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, the disparity becomes overwhelmingly insurmountable when facing lower-tier powerhouses.

Even with the Reincarnation Body cultivated into a True Spirit Physique, further empowered by the 10 Great Immortal Treasures and the Inner Immortal Domain, it still could not fully bridge the gap.

He was able to break through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and refine the Path of Self-Sacrifice to an even higher realm.

"Perish!"

Seeing the Reincarnation Body wounded, the God of Desolation pressed his assault, maneuvering the Heavenly Halberd to suppress and slay it. Fortunately, the Reincarnation Body’s Sacrificial Form was indestructible and eternal—even a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal could not inflict fatal injuries upon it.

In comparison, the battles of the other few were somewhat more relaxed.

Among the 3 Divine Generals, the Baxia Divine General possessed the strongest defense but the weakest offense. Qing Ji, clad in her mid-grade Daluo Divine Armor, could mitigate the majority of injuries. With her focus entirely on guerrilla tactics, neither could inflict significant harm upon the other.

The Pixiu Divine General was relatively balanced in his abilities, yet his overall strength remained the most unremarkable. Though he could defeat Lyra (Person Name), he would struggle to find an opportunity to severely wound or slay her in a short span of time.

Only the God of Barren Silence was the most domineering, for he seemed to possess an Indestructible Foundation—moreover, he had cultivated not 1 but 2 such foundations: the Indestructible Flesh and the Indestructible Great Dao.

Upon reaching the late-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the disparity between the Indestructible Foundation and ordinary 10-Limit Foundations begins to manifest.

Both were at the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, yet God General Barren Silence had cultivated the Great Perfection Indestructible Body and the Great Vehicle Indestructible Dao, making his strength far surpass that of the other 2 God Generals.

By comparison, neither the Divine General Pixiu had cultivated an Indestructible Foundation, nor had the Divine General Baxia achieved more than an Indestructible Body. Their combat prowess paled in comparison to the Divine General of Desolate Silence.

It could be said that General Barrensilence was among the finest of the seventh-level Great Luo Golden Immortals, capable of holding his own against 2 opponents of the same tier. Had it not been for the truly formidable resilience of his Samsara Body’s physical form, he would likely have been severely wounded moments ago.

"To think you possess such formidable power—truly worthy of the reincarnation of the Lunar Sovereign!"

Seeing that he couldn't subdue them all in a short time, the 9 Extremes Divine Monarch couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

After sighing repeatedly, he immediately exerted nearly his full strength, unleashing various divine abilities to confront Eldrin. Yet, regrettably, he found it persistently difficult to completely suppress Eldrin.

Thus time hurried by, and before 1 knew it, a millennium had gradually passed.

By this point in the battle, the members of Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) were clearly struggling. It seemed it wouldn't be long before some would begin to fall.

Yet at that very moment, the 7 great immortal domains trembled with radiant light. Countless formation patterns swept across all directions of heaven and earth, coalescing into a primordial chaos formation that sealed the chaotic realms.

Witnessing this scene, a subtle shift crossed the faces of the Desolate Silence Demon Sovereign and the others.

"Not good."

"A 1000 years and you've already recovered? That's an astonishingly fast recovery speed."

Only the 9 Extremes Divine Lord remained perfectly composed, a faint, unexpected smile gracing his lips as he said, "A pity. You fail to understand—while this grand formation imprisons us all, it has also liberated me."

As the words fell, the 9 innate spiritual treasures that had been sealing the void above trembled violently, transforming into 9 dazzling immortal swords that began to revolve around the 9 Extremities Divine Lord.

9 Extremities Divine Lord, 9 Extremities Immortal Sword!

With a calm expression, Eldrin (Person Name) slowly recounted the origins of these 9 immortal swords.

This 9 Extremes Divine Monarch possessed an extraordinary origin—his true form was none other than the 'Primordial Chaos 9-Colored Aurora,' originally a nascent Chaos Origin Emperor in the midst of gestation.

But before he could emerge, the Chaos Boundary Sea abruptly opened, and hordes of Great Luo Golden Immortals and Primordial Chaos Emperors rushed in to seize the Primordial Beginning Qi.

The 9 Extremities Divine Sovereign was plagued by ill fortune. Before his form could fully coalesce, he was discovered, resulting in the theft of his Primordial Genesis Qi. This forced his premature emergence into the world, leaving his foundation critically deficient.

Even so, the 9 Extremes Divine Lord had still cultivated to the Eighth Heaven of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, having achieved the Dao through 5 indestructible foundations.

Most crucially, the 9 Extremities Immortal Sword—the congenital numinous treasure born alongside the 9 Extremities Divine Lord—stood as the world's paramount treasure of array formations.

Such supreme treasures, each blade is a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure. Once deployed in formation, they could severely injure or even annihilate a Seventh-Level Great Luo Golden Immortal. Even when facing a Ninth-Level Great Luo Golden Immortal, they possessed the power to stand their ground in battle.

Of course, no Great Immortal Realm expert could be considered weak. Those who had attained the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal realm had all cultivated at least 1 Indestructible Foundation, and it was not uncommon to find those who had forged 3 to 5 such foundations.

If the 9 Extremes Divine Lord were to truly face a Great Perfection Golden Immortal, the more likely outcome would still be defeat.

Even so, the 9 Extremes Divine Lord could be considered a powerhouse among the Eighth-Level Great Luo Golden Immortals. Though every cultivator in this realm was a prodigy of unprecedented talent, he stood out as 1 of the most exceptional.

And the majority of the 9 Extremities Divine Lord’s cultivation and combat prowess lay in these 9 Extremities Immortal Swords.

At this moment, seeing Eldrin so composed, the 9 Extremes Divine Monarch remarked with some confusion, "Although this sword formation of mine may not compare to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the difference is not far."

"I am curious, why do you show no fear at all?"
