Chapter 412 Revenge Knows No Night

That day, the Heavenly Crane Demon King found himself unable to gain the slightest advantage despite facing his relentless assaults.

This time, to prevent the treasures from being divided among too many parties and to avoid accusations of collusion, both Realmlord Hanchuan and Sky Crane Demon King brought only a handful of trusted followers—all Golden Core Realm demon kings and cultivators.

These Golden Core Adepts and Demon Kings were utterly astonished as they witnessed Eldrin and Lyra unleashing their formidable power.

True Lord Hanchuan and the Sky Crane Demon King were, after all, not cultivators from the Ji Province region. Unaware of Eldrin (Person Name) and Lyra (Person Name)'s profound foundations and mystical abilities, they now found themselves hard-pressed in the midst of battle.

Seeing that they couldn't subdue the duo, several Golden Core Elders and a group of Golden Core cultivators prepared to join forces and attack them together.

At that very moment, Lyra activated the 4 Symbols Flag Formation. In an instant, 4 Golden Core, Late Stage primordial spirits descended.

"Damn it."

Witnessing the rampaging true spirit actually ensnare several Golden Core demon kings, even Sky Crane Demon King was temporarily trapped within its grasp.

Elder Hanchuan and the others wished to regroup with them, but alas, it was already too late.

Eldrin unleashed the great supernatural power Phantom-Splitting Sword Art, directly channeling this divine technique into the 4 Symbols Flag Formation, forcing the demon kings into an inescapable deadlock.

Seizing the opportunity, Lyra (Person Name) summoned her Ji Earth Kunyuan Plate once more. Countless array patterns surged into the 4 Symbols Flag Formation (Formation), combining forces to suppress the Heavenly Crane Demon King and his allies trapped within.

Not good.

Seeing the situation turning dire, Patriarch Hanchuan gritted his teeth and unleashed 2 peerless magic treasures in succession, aiming to shatter the 4 Symbols Flag Formation (Formation) through a coordinated assault from within and without.

Yet with a mere flick of his hand, Eldrin summoned the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, instantly trapping those treasures within the void.

The Elder of Frozen Rivers still sought to save the situation by striking at the enemy’s stronghold. With a swift motion, he summoned 12 Frozen River Immortal Swords, sending them slashing toward Eldrin (Person Name).

But Lyra (Person Name) had long been prepared, raising the Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures (Magic Treasure). After decades of evolving formation patterns, this treasure was now merely A Step Away (Time & Distance) from becoming a devil-refining supreme treasure, its defensive power already approaching 70 percent of that level.

Once such a treasure was unfurled, even if the 12 Coldstream Mother-Child Swords wielded by the Coldstream True Person were formidable, they remained utterly futile—unable to breach the defenses of this artifact.

Having blocked Patriarch Hanchuan's move, Lyra struck again, forcibly channeling her magic power to unleash the Divine Light of the 5 Void Tribulations into the formation.

Boom—

A resounding explosion echoed through the air—the Sky Crane Demon King truly lived up to his title as a Pseudo-Nascent Soul demon monarch.

Even as it faced the sudden suppression of the formation flags and endured 2 major divine abilities—'Phantom-Splitting Sword Art (Cultivation Art)' and 'Divine Light of the 5 Void Tribulations (Cultivation Art)'—it still managed to violently shatter the formation by sheer force.

However, after breaking through the formation, the Sky Crane Demon King was already at the end of his rope. All his defensive magic treasures had been shattered, his energy was mostly depleted, and he had even suffered unprecedented severe injuries.

Seizing the moment the formation shattered, Eldrin summoned the Heaven-Sundering Twin Swords. With a metallic ring, they descended in a flawless union—the Heavenly Sundering Convergence.

Facing the peerless strike of the dual swords united as 1, the Sky Crane Demon King was caught completely off guard. His physical form was instantly cleaved apart, leaving only a single demon core that frantically fled the scene.

"What a formidable technique!"

"I have witnessed your methods, Your Excellency. We shall meet again."

Witnessing Eldrin and Lyra unleashing their formidable might, the True Lord of Coldstream let out a long cry and actually pursued the direction in which the Golden Core of the Sky Crane Demon King had fled.

The remaining Golden Core demon kings and cultivators all seized the opportunity to flee.

Eldrin did not give chase. Though the battle had seemed effortless, the successive activations of grand divine abilities and magic treasures had drained a considerable amount of their spiritual power.

Especially Lyra's 4 Symbols Flag Formation, which simultaneously summoned 4 Golden Core, Late Stage spirit avatars. Even a Pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator would find their spiritual power insufficient to withstand it.

Back then, the reason Hugo could activate this formation to engage in battle was primarily because these were his Lifebound Formation Banners, requiring only 30% of his magic power to unleash their maximum might.

Fortunately, Lyra possessed the Ningshui Green Lotus Throne. Otherwise, even with this treasure, activating it would have drained all her spiritual power, leaving her incapable of wielding any divine abilities or magical artifacts.

Even with the Nephrite Water Lotus Throne, Lyra (Person Name) had expended a considerable amount of spiritual power. Pursuing them further would hardly guarantee she could eradicate them completely.

Eldrin fed her a pill to restore her magical power, then sighed, "A False Infant cultivator is truly formidable. Even with our current strength, it's still somewhat difficult to vanquish 1."

"This is perfectly normal."

Lyra nodded with a subtle smile. "Those who've lived for hundreds, nearly a 1000 years naturally possess countless tricks up their sleeves."

"However, once your Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) evolves into a Lifebound Spirit Treasure, eliminating them will become effortless."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin revealed a faint smile. When the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void ascended to become his life-bound spiritual treasure, it would integrate a fifth-tier Void Stone.

According to the divine artifact array patterns deduced by Eldrin (Person Name), this treasure will possess the same spiritual array patterns as the Violet Heaven Void-Treading Mirror—capable of void migration and sealing the void.

With these 2 spirit treasure-grade formations, whether used to pursue enemies or trap them, the effects were absolutely first-rate.

After briefly clearing the battlefield, Eldrin gazed at the corpse of the Sky Crane Demon King and chuckled, "With this demon's dragon bones, we can forge a Quasi Fifth-Rank treasure ship."

"Hmm, this item is rather exceptional."

Lyra also felt a hint of delight. Over the years, as their cultivation bases had grown stronger, the speed of the Qingyang Treasure Ark had gradually fallen behind their needs.

The skeleton of this Sky Crane Demon King was of an exceptionally high grade. Once refined into a small treasure boat, it could travel 5 100 1000 li in a single day. If the innate ability 'Divine Crane Soaring Art' within the bones was activated, its speed could temporarily increase severalfold.

Naturally, they would not let such a treasure slip through their fingers. After storing the Sky Crane Demon King's corporeal form, Lyra (Person Name) turned her gaze toward the ancient Gu Clan upon the primordial island.

Eldrin glanced at Chen Silas and spoke in an even tone, "Go claim your vengeance."

The fourth-tier, lower-grade formation array on the ancient island possessed considerable power—enough to hold off 1 or 2 Golden Core, Late Stage cultivators. Yet it could not withstand the combined assault of Eldrin and Lyra.

They took matters into their own hands and broke it open without much effort.

The Ancient Clan Leader, his face filled with terror, personally escorted Gu Qingshu forward. He looked at the 3 figures and declared, "Gu Qingshu has betrayed our trust and launched a treacherous assault on Fairy Chen. Today, I deliver her unto you for judgment."

"We only ask that you do not make things difficult for our Gu Clan."

"Father, have you abandoned me, Father?"

Ancient Qing Shu’s hair was disheveled, her face etched with despair, and a trace of resentment flickered in her eyes.

Eldrin glanced at the disheveled Gu Qingshu before turning his gaze to Chen Silas. "I shall hold the battlefield for you," he declared. "While we may spare the rest of the Gu Clan, the patriarch and his daughter must not be allowed to live."

"Clang—"

Chen Silas (Person Name) remained silent, raising his hand to summon a fourth-tier immortal sword.

After the previous battle, Eldrin had acquired several fourth-grade magic treasures. Since they were of no use to him, he simply took 2 and handed them over to Chen Silas.

At this moment, Chen Silas (Person Name) summoned his immortal sword and struck directly at the Ancient Clan Lord. With a cultivation base merely at the second layer of the Golden Core Realm, the Ancient Clan Lord possessed mediocre magical treasures and supernatural abilities. Even his spiritual energy paled in comparison to the purity of Chen Silas's.

After all, it was a Mid-level Golden Core. After several dozen exchanges, Chen Silas (Person Name) slew his opponent by the shore of the Spirit Island.

Watching her father be slain, Gu Qingshu finally revealed a look of utter despair. Pointing a trembling finger at Chen Silas (Person Name), she screamed hysterically, "You vile wretch! You're nothing but a product of privileged birth!"
