Chapter 147 Vajra Brahma Banner (Magic Treasure)
With a single beat of its wings, it unleashed 2 golden rays of light that instantly sent the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) flying backward.
"This is troublesome."
The moment they crossed blows, Eldrin sensed he was in for a difficult fight.
That 6-Winged Golden Butterfly was truly formidable. It was merely a step away from the Purple Palace, Mid Stage, yet it held its ground effortlessly even while facing 2 opponents alone.
The 2 were merely approaching the Purple Palace realm and could not be considered true Purple Palace combatants. Facing a Purple Palace, Early Stage opponent with a similar combat prowess, they could only rely on their battle experience to secure victory.
Yet now, the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly was suppressing them with its cultivation base. Even a casually executed divine ability forced them to exert their full strength to counter, making the battle exceedingly arduous.
The 6-winged golden butterfly remained unflustered, and in the blink of an eye, the 2 sides had exchanged over 60 moves. The group aboard the 7 Stars Demon-Slaying Vessel (Magic Treasure) finally seized the opportunity to cut through the demon beast encirclement and rushed to reinforce them.
A dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators on the treasure vessel joined forces, continuously summoning flying swords, magical instruments, supernatural abilities, and other means to launch attacks. Though they could hardly inflict real harm upon the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly, their relentless harassment had thoroughly vexed the creature this day, significantly alleviating the pressure on the duo.
Boom—
Enraged, the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly beat its wings and swept away a dozen or so magical instruments. Then it unleashed its divine ability, 'Golden Wing Divine Light', striking directly at the 7 Stars Demon-Slaying Vessel.
The group aboard the treasure vessel reacted swiftly. Today, they activated the 6 Directions Divine Protection Array (Formation) engraved upon the treasure vessel. The divine ability of the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly (Spirit Beast) struck the formation, causing it to tremble violently, yet in the end, it failed to breach the defenses.
"Perfect timing."
As if connected by a shared consciousness, the Old Patriarch and Eldrin (Person Name) seized the moment when the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly unleashed its divine ability to strike in swift succession.
A sharp sword cry pierced the air as the Old Patriarch instantly activated the Blazing Flame Soul Incineration Array. He unleashed the 'Crimson Gold Barrier-Breaking Divine Sword Aura' while simultaneously commanding the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) spirit blade to descend in a coordinated strike.
Almost simultaneously, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) unleashed sword radiance spanning dozens of zhang, striking directly between the 6-winged golden butterfly's brows.
The 6-Winged Golden Butterfly had just unleashed its divine ability. Now, seeing the 2 of them strike with their full strength, it summoned a golden treasure banner. The banner emitted a golden barrier that instantly blocked the attack of the Crimson Gold God-Slaying Sword Aura.
"Beware, it's the Xuluo Vajra Banner."
The old clan chief issued a reminder and continued channeling his Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) to relentlessly assault the spiritual blade.
Upon hearing this, Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly. Over the years, as his cultivation deepened, his knowledge had expanded immensely.
This Xuluo Vajra Banner was the most powerful life-bound magic treasure of the great Ziyuan Sect (Sect) from the Chu Kingdom (Location). It contained 2 divine abilities.
1 of these abilities was identical to that on the Crimson-Gold Banner of the 3 Treasures (Magic Treasure)—the defensive supernatural power ‘Glazed Vajra Barrier’. At this moment, Liu Cui’s Golden Butterfly was activating this very ability from the treasure to block the attacks of the 2 individuals.
Another divine ability was known as the Xuluo Jitian Seal, a renowned offensive technique whose power ranked among the top 5 of all divine abilities in the Chu Kingdom.
Boom—
With a resounding boom, Eldrin looked up and saw the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly once again activating the Xuluo Vajra Banner, unleashing the legendary supplementary divine ability known throughout the Chu Kingdom—the Xuluo Annihilation Seal.
In that fleeting moment, a force capable of shaking heaven and earth swept across a 1000 zhang of void. A blinding golden light manifested as an ethereal seal tore through the sky, striking with such overwhelming force that it sent the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) flying backward through the air.
A faint sense of powerlessness flickered through Eldrin’s heart. It wasn’t that the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss was weak—it was simply that his cultivation base fell short. If he possessed the power of the Violet Mansion, how could the might of his lifebound immortal sword ever be inferior to divine abilities?
In the blink of an instant, he summoned the Luofu Golden Seal. This third-tier magical treasure unfurled a protective barrier of shimmering light.
In that instant, the Divine Might of the Asura’s Annihilation Seal clashed with the defensive magical treasure. Eldrin was sent flying back 10 1000 zhang before crashing heavily onto the ground, while a vast shockwave tore through the earth in its wake.
The continuous roar thundered endlessly, the immense force actually causing the earth for miles around to collapse, leaving behind a terrifying depression dozens of feet deep.
After the single strike, Eldrin (Person Name) leaned against the defensive barrier of the third-tier magic treasure, unable to suppress a slight gasp. A faint stinging sensation coursed through his meridians.
Eldrin sensed subtle damage to his meridians. Though it was negligible to him, the fact that it occurred at all was astonishing.
You must understand that his primordial energy was exceptionally sharp and potent, making the tempering of his meridians remarkably effective. Moreover, tempered by the Primordial Purple Qi, the strength of his meridians far surpassed that of others at the same cultivation level.
Even he felt the backlash's sharp sting. If it were any ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would likely have suffered significant meridian damage and required considerable time to recuperate before regaining combat readiness.
Even so, the stabbing pain left him momentarily unable to summon his true essence, rendering him immobile for a brief period.
"Clang—"
But at that moment, the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly pressed its advantage, once again activating its Golden Wing Divine Light to strike at Eldrin (Person Name). Clearly, it sought to slay him while he remained unable to muster his primal energy.
However, Eldrin was not alone. The old clan leader reacted swiftly, raising his hand to summon the Crimson-Gold Banner of the 3 Treasures. With a surge of energy, he activated the defensive formation, bringing the Glazed Vajra Barrier to life.
Although the Golden-Winged Divine Light was also a supernatural power, its might was far inferior to the Xuluo Jitian Seal. In the end, it still failed to breach the defensive power of the Crimson-Gold Banner of the 3 Treasures (Magic Treasure).
In that very instant, the cultivators aboard the treasure vessel snapped to awareness. Seizing the opportunity while the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly relentlessly assaulted Eldrin, Kael and his companions activated the 7 Stars Demon-Slaying Array.
"Clang—"
A resounding sword cry echoed through the air as a brilliant sword aura erupted from the 7 Stars Demon-Slaying Ark, cutting across the void in a magnificent arc to strike at the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly.
This strike was comparable to the full-force blow of a Purple Palace, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivator channeling their divine ability. Launched as a sudden ambush, it caught the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly completely off guard.
它正在全力跟Eldrin (Person Name)两人较量，没反应过来就被剑罡杀到了近前。
In an instant, the 7 Stars Demon-Slaying Sword Aura tore through its defensive supernatural power, sent the Vajra Banner of Surapala flying, and continued its relentless strike toward its head with undiminished force.
At this critical moment of life and death, it could only activate its demon core to block the attack. Yet the power of the 7 Stars Demon-Slaying Sword Radiance proved overwhelming—truly worthy of being an array technique personally refined by Lyra (Person Name).
The remaining force of the sword aura actually severely damaged the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly's demon core, sending the creature coughing up blood mid-air as it nearly plummeted from the heavens.
"Clang—"
Another sword cry pierced the air as the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) tore through the firmament, cleaving a gash across its pair of wings.
Strike while the iron is hot! By now, Eldrin had suppressed the backlash, disregarding the depletion of his true essence as he unleashed the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss and the Thunderbolt Blaze Sword in a fierce assault.
2 consecutive sword strikes achieved miraculous feats, carving wounds several zhang long upon its body and finally severely wounding the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly.
Just as he was about to slay the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly, several nearby Purple Mansion-level demon beasts could no longer stand idly by. Though the Purple-Spotted Wolf King (Demon Beast) was firmly restrained, the other 2 demon beasts still had some strength to spare.
The Golden-Horned Savage Bull withstood Yang Yuanhe's strike and spurred a cyan-gold war spear to thrust forward. Eldrin's eyes narrowed as he raised his hand, summoning the Magnetic Treasure Bracer into the air.
