Chapter 254 Breeze-Embraces-Moon Sword (Magic Treasure)

"No wonder they couldn't take Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Mountain."

A faint stir arose in Eldrin's heart—the combined combat power of 8 Purple Mansion demon spirits was truly formidable.

Especially those 2 Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) fiendish spirits, whose power had already reached extraordinary heights. Merely by joining forces, they were sufficient to leave Clear Verse Wanderer utterly helpless.

Even a False Core cultivator of ordinary strength would likely find it difficult to gain any advantage if they came here alone.

Elder Qingci cast a glance at the Abyssal Demon Spirit, his expression turning grave as he said, "Qingyan's spiritual power is insufficient, and Immortal Yu alone can scarcely contend against multiple Abyssal Demon Spirits."

"Brother Wei, with the 2 of us joining forces, we can handle the 4 strongest Zifu demon spirits."

"The remaining Purple Mansions, let Fairy Yu and my wife hold them off. What do you think?"

"Good."

Eldrin nodded and immediately soared forth on his sword.

He summoned the Twin Heaven-Severing Swords, transforming them into 2 streaks of sword light that soared through the air. The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) shot straight toward 1 of the Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) fiendish spirits, while the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword encircled another fiendish spirit at the Purple Palace, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm).

The other 3 also charged out simultaneously, unleashing their divine abilities and magic treasures against the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) fiend.

The Blazing Fire Abyss was the domain of the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) fiend spirits. The moment the group made their move, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) fiend spirits detected their presence. 8 Purple Mansion fiend spirits instantly struck, unleashing a Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) divine ability treasure to assault them.

Eldrin faced 2 mid to late Zifu-stage demon spirits alone. Wielding the Sky-Severing Twin Swords, he moved with devastating grace, holding his ground without yielding an inch.

"What a fine immortal sword, what formidable power!"

Watching Eldrin unleash his formidable power, a faint glimmer of admiration lit up Elder Qingci’s eyes.

As a fellow sword cultivator, he now felt a surge of fighting spirit,

Determined not to let another claim all glory, he flicked his left wrist and summoned his lifebound immortal sword, 'Breeze-Embraces-Moon Sword (Magic Treasure)', instantly engaging the Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) fiendish spirit in fierce combat.

Then, with a point of his right hand, he summoned his life-bound sword, the ‘Verses and Wine Dawnsong Sword’, intercepting the demonic spirit at the Purple Palace, Mid Stage.

These 2 natal immortal swords were Clear Verse Elder's signature weapons, from which his epithet "Clear Verse" originated.

Elder Qingci had only spent half a month breaking through to the Violet Mansion realm. The reason he waited a full year to arrive was primarily to upgrade the grade of his 2 signature immortal swords.

To purchase the 5 Elements Essence for upgrading these 2 immortal swords, Elder Qingci and his wife had nearly exhausted their stock of spirit stones, even borrowing a sum from Yu Qingyan. 1 could say they were now utterly penniless.

Fortunately, after the Clear Verse Twin Swords advanced to the third-rank upper grade, they had become peerless third-rank immortal swords in terms of lethal power. Though they couldn't compare to the Sky Severance Twin Swords that had been refined with precious materials and tempered in the Sword Cleansing Pool, they were still far from weak among third-rank magical treasures.

Qingci Sanren now unleashed the paired Qingci Swords, which instantly transformed into 2 streaks of sword light weaving through the battlefield. Defying all odds, he held his ground against 2 opponents simultaneously without yielding an inch.

At the same time, the other 4 Purple Palace, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) fiend spirits charged forward. Fairy Qingyan and Yu Qingyan simultaneously moved to intercept them.

After all, Yu Qingyan was at the Purple Palace, Mid Stage. The 2 of them joining forces against 4 Purple Palace, Early Stage demon spirits did not leave them at a disadvantage.

"Clang—"

Eldrin soared through the skies upon his sword, his gaze sweeping the surroundings. Yet his eyes narrowed faintly as they sharpened.

Numerous second-order Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) fiendish spirits were already charging through the mountain valleys, clearly intending to intervene in their battle.

He was no cultivator adept at group combat like Varen or the former clan leader, making this situation particularly troublesome for him.

"I fear there are several 100 second-order demon spirits lurking near this sacred mountain."

"We cannot afford to delay."

With his resolve set, Eldrin's gaze instantly turned icy.

With a flick of his hand, he summoned 2 divine thunderbolts—1 of Geng Metal and 1 of Bing Fire—hurling them toward the Purple Palace, Mid Stage demonic spirit. Then, he unleashed the Great Geng Immortal Sword in a sweeping slash.

He made as if to strike down the Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) fiendish spirit, but his opponent would naturally never allow him to succeed in his heart.

The Late Stage Purple Palace demon spirit first summoned the third-tier magic treasure Crimson Flame Qi golden bracelet and its innate ability Crimson Flame Qi true flame to block the divine thunder immortal sword, then expanded its defensive supernatural power, continuously assisting in resisting Eldrin's attacks.

The Purple Palace, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) demon spirit nearby reacted swiftly, conjuring layers of divine abilities and magical treasures to shield itself.

But in that very instant, an invisible sword aura flashed. With a single strike, it shattered the defensive supernatural power of the Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) fiendish spirit, cleaving it cleanly in 2.

Formless Sword.

The Clear Lyrics Wanderer exclaimed in astonishment, "The Unseen Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure) possesses extraordinary power, specifically countering all defensive magical treasures and supernatural abilities."

Though the Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) demon spirit possessed remarkable power, it had been ambushed by this sword. Before its protective magic treasure could unleash its might, it was shattered by a single strike, and the creature was slain with that very blow.

All the demon spirits of Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) had been slain. The remaining demon spirits could no longer sit idle and began to erupt with frenzied power in a desperate attempt to turn the tide.

But it was already too late. Eldrin drove the Sky-Parting Twin Swords to weave through the void.

A cyan-blue sword aura sliced directly toward the Purple Palace, Mid Stage demonic spirit. Though its cultivation was not weak, it was nothing before Eldrin.

With merely 9 strikes, Eldrin seized the opening and cleaved the fiend in 2 with his Formless Sword.

After slaying 2 Zi Palace experts in succession, the remaining Zi Palace demon spirits finally lost their will to fight and began scattering in all directions.

The Clear Verse Wanderer felt a competitive spirit stir within his heart. He immediately intercepted that Purple Palace, Late Stage demonic entity. After exchanging a dozen or so moves, he unleashed his ultimate technique.

The Clear Verse Twin Swords were also a matched pair. When their powers converged, though not reaching the might of the Heavenly Union's fusion, their potency surged by 70 to 80 percent.

The crowd only heard a single ring of a sword's cry. The merged Qingci Twin Swords transformed into a streak of light, swift as chasing stars and racing after the moon, and struck down the Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) fiendish spirit onto the earth.

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly. The Clear Word Wanderer's paired immortal swords were truly extraordinary. With these bonded immortal blades in hand, his combat prowess should rival that of an ordinary ninth-level Cave Mansion cultivator.

After dispersing the Zifu demon spirits, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The Clear Word Wanderer wore a grave expression as he studied the formation before him. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Once those Purple Mansion demonic spirits escape, they will likely bring trouble upon us. We must swiftly break this formation, retrieve the treasure, and depart immediately."

"Hmm."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, and the group began working to unravel the formation before them.

The protective formation before them had been steadily drained by the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) demonic spirit over countless years, its power long diminished by more than half.

Among the crowd, both Eldrin and Yu Qingyan were Tier 3 Formation Masters. Breaking the formation wasn't difficult for them, though it required some effort.

Eldrin spent an entire day surveying the ley lines before activating his Jade Spirit Eyes to search for flaws in the formation.

This time, he truly uncovered its mystery. Raising his voice, he commanded, "Follow me and strike this point of the formation!"

As his voice faded, he summoned the Tianli Twin Swords and began relentlessly assaulting a single point in the formation.

Everyone immediately launched continuous attacks, wearing it down for a full half-day before finally shattering this node and causing the guardian formation to completely collapse.

It is done.

The few of them revealed looks of joy and hurriedly rushed into the spirit vein.

As soon as he stepped into the spirit vein, Eldrin spotted a burly middle-aged man sitting cross-legged at the center of the spirit pool.
