Chapter 363 : A Clash of Divine Flames and Swords

Seeing the void sealed, Malachai Qin's heart sank.

He still possessed two highly valuable Void Escape Treasure Talisman [a talisman capable of tearing through the fabric of space]. These precious talismans could even offer some chance of escape against an Infant Soul Cultivator [a cultivator whose nascent soul has formed].

With these talismans in hand, he had been confident that he could likely flee even from an Infant Soul Cultivator, but he never imagined they would be so thoroughly countered by the 'Violet Cosmos Void Escape Mirror' [a magical treasure that seals spatial fluctuations].

"Esteemed one, we bear no grudge or enmity. Why must you pursue me with lethal intent?"

"*Screech—*"

The response was a brilliant, resonant hum of a sword. Exquisite Jiang brought her Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword [a sword famed for its power to slay immortals] down in a vertical cleave, carrying the might to sunder heaven and earth.

Malachai Qin hastily activated a Black Gold Ancient Alms Bowl [a magical treasure shaped like an ancient monk's bowl] to block. This treasure could project a protective dome of black-and-gold light, capable of withstanding attacks from Immortal Sword [a sword of immortal grade] magical treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators].

But the moment he blocked the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword, Violet Consort Yan raised her hand and unleashed a torrent of violet divine flame towards him.

"Disaster! It's the Violet Abyss Divine Flame [a legendary divine flame technique]!"

Watching the roaring inferno rush towards him, Malachai Qin's pupils contracted sharply. The Violet Abyss Divine Flame was the signature Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power or technique] of the Purple Abyss Sect [a major cultivation sect]. This chapter is provided by audio novel.com. Support the original.

This Divine Ability [a powerful supernatural technique] was passed down from the Violet Azure True Lord. If one simultaneously masters the 'Green Sun Divine Fire' [a divine fire technique of solar essence], they can comprehend the Great God Ability [a supreme-tier divine technique] known as 'Violet Azure Divine Flame'.

Although the 'Green Sun Divine Fire' has been lost for many years since the fall of the Violet Azure Sect, the Violet Abyss Divine Flame alone already possesses power that half-steps into the realm of a Great God Ability.

Upon recognizing the origin of this Violet Abyss Divine Flame, Malachai Qin felt a flicker of alarm in his heart. He swiftly summoned his second Lifebound Magical Treasure [a treasure bound to one's life force], the 'Violet Mist Veil Canopy', which actually managed to withstand the burning of the Violet Abyss Divine Flame.

"This cur!"

Eldrin Chen thought to himself with mild surprise. Both of Malachai Qin's Lifebound Magical Treasure were defensive magical treasure [enchanted artifacts]. How terrified of death must one be?

Pushing the thought aside, he waved his hand and summoned the Thousand Demons Demon-Slaying Sword. This top-tier Immortal Sword [a sword of immortal grade] danced through the air, relentlessly assailing his defensive magical treasure, seeking to breach his guard and deliver a fatal strike.

Though besieged by three opponents, Malachai Qin, despite his formidable background, found himself hard-pressed. However, after deploying his two Lifebound Magical Treasure for protection and summoning two more magical treasure to engage his foes, he managed to temporarily stabilize his footing.

His gaze swept the battlefield, taking in the Extraordinary strength of all three adversaries, and a cold weight settled in his heart.

"Both Exquisite Jiang and Violet Consort Yan possess strength greater than my own. With my current power, escaping without paying a heavy price is nothing but a fool's dream."

"If this drags on, once my spiritual energy is exhausted, defeat and death will be inevitable."

Malachai Qin's thoughts flickered within his mind as he retrieved a gilded treasure talisman.

This talisman was named the Greenjade Heavenly Blade Talisman. It had been painstakingly forged by his father using his own Lifebound Magical Treasure [a cultivator's most intimately connected enchanted artifact] at immense cost, its power rivaling a full-force strike from an Infant Soul Cultivator [a cultivator who has condensed their spiritual essence into a nascent soul].

Such a precious talisman could easily slay a cultivator at the Golden Core Late Stage, and even those at Golden Core Perfection or the False Infant Soul Realm Cultivator [a cultivator who has touched the threshold of the Infant Soul realm but not fully condensed their nascent soul] would not dare to face it head-on.

"Who should receive this strike?"

In the span of a single breath, Malachai Qin weighed his options. This talisman was of extraordinary value. His father had only broken through to the Infant Soul realm a little over a century ago, and Malachai himself possessed only two or three Fifth Rank Treasure [a classification for powerful magical artifacts].

The fact that his father had been willing to part with this talisman for him was solely because Malachai had devoured a Path Body [a rare and powerful innate physique that grants great affinity for cultivation], granting him the potential to reach the Infant Soul realm himself.

With only a single Demon-Subduing Treasure Talisman [a powerful talisman specifically designed to suppress demonic beings] at his disposal, if this one strike failed to turn the tide and break the deadlock, he would likely perish here today.

"Eldrin Chen!"

In that fleeting moment, his decision was made.

Currently, the three opponents were covering for each other. While the talisman was formidable, the notion of using it to slay Exquisite Jiang or Violet Consort Yan was nothing but a fool's dream.

Instead, it was likely intended to target the weakest among them in cultivation, Eldrin Chen, aiming for a single, decisive kill.

Acting on his thought, Malachai Qin instantly fixed his gaze on Eldrin Chen. With a flick of his wrist, he activated the precious talisman and unleashed its attack.

"Not good!"

Witnessing Malachai Qin activate the talisman, a brilliant blade ray, forged from green jade, soared into the heavens and shot directly toward Eldrin Chen.

The expressions of everyone present shifted slightly. Exquisite Jiang reacted instinctively, summoning forth her Void Five Tribulations Divine Light.

This Great God Ability [a supreme technique that allows one to fight above their cultivation level] was a treasure for transcending realms. Fueled by Exquisite Jiang's power, which rivaled that of a Golden Core Perfection cultivator, its might surpassed the full-force strike of a False Infant Soul Realm Cultivator by a margin, reaching roughly fifty to sixty percent of the power of a genuine Infant Soul Cultivator attack.

That single strike alone consumed nearly thirty percent of the Greenjade Heavenly Blade's formidable energy.

Seeing the Greenjade Heavenly Blade Talisman's power significantly diminished, Violet Consort Yan on the other side restrained her impulse to deploy her Demon-Subduing Treasure Talisman. Instead, she unveiled her trump card—the Great God Ability known as 'Violet Cosmos Heaven-Slaying Sword'.

The very reason Violet Consort Yan had chosen the 'Violet Cosmos Void Escape Mirror' as her Lifebound Magical Treasure [a cultivator's personally bound and nurtured magical artifact] was precisely for this Great God Ability, the Violet Cosmos Heaven-Slaying Sword.

The Violet Cosmos Heaven-Slaying Sword ranks among the most supreme of Great God Ability. Once mastered, it grants dominance even among Infant Soul Cultivator, allowing one to stand as a peerless force.

Once she breaks through to the Infant Soul Realm [the realm where a cultivator's nascent soul is formed], she can take this Great God Ability [a supreme divine technique] as her Innate Divine Ability [a divine ability inherent to one's cultivation path]. Combined with the Violet Cosmos Void Escape Mirror, she would be formidable in both offense and defense, able to come and go as she pleases.

At that point, even if besieged by enemies several times her strength, she would have nothing to fear and could truly go anywhere under heaven.

Furthermore, the Violet Cosmos Void Escape Mirror and the Violet Cosmos Heaven-Slaying Sword [a divine sword technique of the Violet Cosmos lineage] are of extraordinary origin. They are the treasures for her path to enlightenment, given to her by her father, Exquisite Jiang. They originate from a Primordial Spirit Realm [the realm of the primordial spirit] cultivation manual and are the legacy magical treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators] of the Violet Cosmos Path Lord.

It can be said that this Violet Cosmos Heaven-Slaying Sword is not one whit inferior to the Void Five Tribulations Divine Light [a divine light technique embodying the power of five tribulations]. Now, transforming into a dazzling violet sword radiance, it cleaved downwards with its first strike, consuming over thirty percent of the Greenjade Heavenly Blade's [a heavenly blade forged from green jade] remaining power.

By this point, the might of the Greenjade Heavenly Blade had been mostly depleted, yet it still posed a lethal threat to Eldrin Chen.

Locked onto by the blade's energy, Eldrin Chen had nowhere to evade. With no other choice, he could only summon the Two Polarities Divine Thunder [a divine thunder technique of opposing polarities] to block it once more.

He also activated the Bulwark Earth Sovereign Bell and the Crimson-Gold Glazed Armor, channeling the Solar True Aegis [a true defensive barrier of solar essence] to protect his body, determined to expend every effort to withstand this blow.

Seeing the danger from the other side, Exquisite Jiang decided it was not safe to hold back. She simply hurled the Green Sun Demon-Suppressing Pagoda forward.

The power of that verdant jade blade light was indeed Extraordinary. Even after having sixty to seventy percent of its potency successively worn down, it still cleaved straight through the Two Polarities Divine Thunder and even split the Green Sun Demon-Suppressing Pagoda clean in two with a single slash.

However, faced with the trio's mutual support and layered defenses, the Greenjade Heavenly Blade's power was finally exhausted. In the end, it was blocked by the Solar True Aegis.

The crucial reason for this outcome was that everyone understood Malachai Qin's extraordinary status and had been wary of him from the start, maintaining a certain distance.

Otherwise, if he had launched a sudden ambush, caught off guard, even a cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection [the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage] realm would have had a high probability of being slain in a single strike by the power of that Treasure Talisman [a powerful, single-use enchanted seal].

Just as the group blocked this attack, Malachai Qin seized the moment. He consecutively activated several Fourth Rank Superior Grade [the highest quality for fourth-rank artifacts] Treasure Talismans, forcibly blasting open the encirclement and fleeing madly.

"Thinking of escaping?"

Exquisite Jiang's gaze turned icy in an instant. She merged with her sword, becoming one with the blade, and shot forth in pursuit.

Seeing the Immortal Sword [a sword of legendary, near-divine quality] closing in with extreme speed, Malachai Qin immediately activated another Divine Ability [a supreme mystical technique]. He split into nine phantom figures, each fleeing in a different direction.

"It's the Phantom Shadow Traveling Escape [a divine ability for creating illusory clones to confuse pursuers]."

Violet Consort Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. She truly had no means to counter this particular escape Divine Ability. Once he managed to flee beyond the Violet Cosmos Void Escape Mirror's [a divine ability that creates a spatial barrier to trap targets] containment range, he could activate the Void-Sundering Treasure Talisman [a powerful talisman that tears through space to facilitate escape] and vanish once more.
