Chapter 400 Ancient Bell Resounds

With this thought, Eldrin ceased suppressing the opponent's numerous magic treasures and instead directed the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void to project its luminous reflection forward.

In the blink of an eye, the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) erupted with dazzling radiance, drawing the primordial magnetic divine light of the Magnetic Treasure Bracer (Magic Treasure) toward itself.

After this strike, although the Twin Celestial Separation Swords had broken free, the 2 eldritch magnetic treasures had become inextricably entangled, making it difficult to determine a victor in the short term.

Swish—

Just as Eldrin was suppressing the Magnetic Treasure Bracer, another female Golden Core cultivator seized the opportunity to strike, summoning a green jade Ruyi.

This treasure, known as the Emerald Lyra Jade (Magic Treasure), was a peerless magical artifact. With a sharp whistling sound, it unleashed its divine ability, 'Jade Luminescence', which surprisingly could suppress defensive treasures. A gap was torn through the protective radiance of the Earth Sovereign Bell (Magic Treasure).

Fortunately, Eldrin’s (Person Name) supernatural ability moved with his thoughts, and the Sun True Yang (Cultivation Method) was activated as reflexively as a conditioned response, blocking the strike.

After blocking this strike, Eldrin couldn't help but twitch his brow slightly.

Had it been an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, their physical body would likely have been severed in 2 by that earlier strike. Even Eldrin, whose physique rivaled that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, would probably have suffered...

A minor injury?

After all, although the Emerald Divine Light specialized in breaking through defensive magical treasures, its offensive power was relatively weak. Moreover, shattering a supreme-grade treasure would consume considerable energy. It was likely still insufficient to harm the physical body of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Nevertheless, the Solar True Yang proved its extraordinary might, ultimately withstanding the residual force of that strike.

After nearly suffering a covert blow, Eldrin naturally dared not let down his guard. While restoring the Earthen Imperial Bell, he once again summoned the Amethyst Gold Glazed Armor.

With these 3 layers of protection enveloping him, even a Pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to harm him. The only drawback was the significantly increased consumption of spiritual power.

After securing his own defenses, Eldrin once again urged the Heavenly Li Twin Swords to strike, while coordinating with the 5 Elements Divine Thunder to launch continuous assaults. This forced his opponent to no longer dare employ the Emerald Lyra Jade.

Freed from the threat of this peerless treasure, Eldrin leveraged his formidable power to dominate the battlefield, driving all 5 opponents into relentless retreat.

"Not good! Lend the Patriarch a hand, quickly!"

The Zifu and Foundation Establishment cultivators on the side let out a battle cry and began channeling copious magical treasures to launch a relentless assault.

Their formation had been shattered by the Divine Light of the 5 Void Tribulations (Cultivation Art), leaving them no choice but to summon their flying swords and magical treasures for assault. In that moment, hundreds upon thousands of magical artifacts and supernatural abilities rained down incessantly. Even Eldrin (Person Name) felt there was scarcely any room left to evade.

"Troublesome."

Eldrin’s gaze sharpened. Despite the profound depth of his own cultivation, even he found these low-level cultivators troublesome within the confines of this formation.

Fortunately, Eldrin was not without means to deal with low-level cultivators.

With a sweep of his hand, he summoned forth the Wutu Zunhuang Zhong, sending the bronze bell soaring into the heavens.

All eyes beheld a golden bell spanning heaven and earth, radiating a mottled, hazy radiance.

Clang—

In the blink of an eye, a profoundly majestic and deafening bell toll resounded.

This person could only watch helplessly as a translucent shockwave surged forth, shattering the earth in its wake. Mountains and rocks were sent flying backward, and even a 10-1000-zhang colossal peak was pulverized into dust.

1 Foundation Establishment cultivator after another, and even some Purple Mansion adepts, were sent flying back, coughing up blood. On the spot, over a 100 Foundation Establishment cultivators had their physical bodies explode, while many Purple Mansion adepts who stood too close had their bones and tendons pulverized, transforming into clouds of blood mist.

Countless cultivators had their eardrums burst, bleeding from all 7 orifices as they perished. Such was the price for recklessly intervening in a battle between Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) experts without the aid of protective formations.

Even those 5 Golden Core cultivators were forced to retreat explosively, resorting to every means at their disposal to withstand the onslaught.

"This great bell is actually a first-rate group attack magic treasure."

Several Golden Core cultivators, their hearts still racing, could not help but exclaim in astonishment.

They had no time to attack Eldrin, immediately channeling their divine abilities and magic treasures in an attempt to suppress the Earth-Sovereign Bell.

But at that very moment, the sword intent within Eldrin surged forth, a brilliant radiance illuminating the endless void.

In the blink of an eye, boundless sword intent swirled endlessly around Eldrin's fingertips, transforming into innumerable sword auras that shot forth in a violent torrent.

To think it was the great divine ability ‘Phantom-Splitting Sword Art (Cultivation Art)’ reemerging in the mortal realm, poised to dominate the heavens and earth with a single strike.

"Damn it."

The Golden Core Elders' hearts sank. They could only channel their spiritual power to activate their divine abilities and magic treasures in a desperate attempt to block the attack.

But at that very instant, swathes of Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators were slain by the sword radiance, 1 after another staining the heavens crimson with their blood.

Ah, a grand divine ability for mass combat.

"Now."

Amidst the chorus of lamentations from the Huo Clan cultivators, Hugo (Person Name) revealed a murderous glint in his eyes.

With a flick of his hand, he summoned a brilliant stream of light and sent it soaring toward Eldrin, whose spiritual energy was nearly depleted.

That streak of light flashed and transformed into a pale golden sword radiance, its power actually comparable to a full-force strike from a Golden Core cultivator.

Golden Flame God-Slaying Sword Aura Talisman (Magic Treasure).

Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly. This was a sword talisman of exceptionally high grade, its power already reaching 70 percent of a Nascent Soul cultivator's full strike.

Such a mighty strike would have dealt a heavy blow even to a nascent soul cultivator.

As it turned out, the heavy losses suffered by the Huo Clan cultivators were within Hugo's expectations. He was prepared to spare no cost in seizing this opportunity to eliminate Eldrin, thereby enabling their forces to focus entirely on besieging Lyra.

In truth, Eldrin was not in good condition. He had successively activated magical treasures and supernatural abilities, even resorting to a greatly consuming grand supernatural power, and had yet to catch his breath.

With no other choice, Eldrin frantically drew upon the spiritual power within the Ren Shui Qing Lian Tai, forcibly channeling the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder to strike forth.

With Eldrin's (Person Name) current level of magical power, the might he could unleash with this divine ability was already comparable to that of a False Infant cultivator. A single strike depleted nearly half of the power contained within this sword talisman.

Then, the sword energy continued unabated, astonishingly piercing through both the Violet Gold Glazed Armor and the Solar True Aegis—2 layers of defensive qi—in succession.

可惜连破两宝之后，剑罡的威力已经所剩不多，竟然仅仅在Eldrin (Person Name)的肉身之上留下了一道浅浅的剑痕。

"Impossible!"

Witnessing that the sword strike he had plotted for so long left only a shallow mark, Hugo (Person Name) wore an expression of utter disbelief.

According to his calculations, the residual force of this strike was sufficient to cleave a Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivator’s physical body in 2 on the spot, forcing Eldrin (Person Name) to abandon his fleshly form and flee for his life.

Yet he could never have imagined that Eldrin's physical body had already reached a level comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator's. Ordinary lower fourth-grade magical treasures could hardly harm him at all—the fact that the residual force of this sword strike had left even a light injury was truly remarkable.

Seeing that his injuries were not serious, Eldrin let out a slight sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Lyra watched as Eldrin suffered a heavy blow, and with seething resentment, she once again summoned the Divine Light of the 5 Void Tribulations.

This time, there were no masses of low-level cultivators channeling their energy to sustain the formation. The overwhelming divine radiance pierced through mountains and rivers, nearly shattering the 4 Symbols Formation.

Once again, it was Hugo who forcefully channeled his spiritual power, seizing the moment to summon his second life-bound treasure—the Mountain and River Fan—blocking a portion of the residual force to withstand this strike.

"Now."

At that very moment, Eldrin had completely drained the spiritual energy stored within the Ren Water Blue Lotus Platform.

Seizing the opening, he launched a counterattack. With flawless synergy, he summoned the Tianli Twin Swords, enduring the relentless assaults of 5 Golden Core cultivators by blocking with the Earth-Sovereign Bell of Honor.

"Clang—"

In that fleeting moment, the Heaven-Sundering Twin Blades merged as 1, unleashing a strike comparable to the full-force blow of a False Infant cultivator.

A dazzling sword aura, brilliant as a meteor from beyond the heavens, swept across with unstoppable force. With a resounding clang, it shattered the 4 Symbols entangled in combat.
