Chapter 439 Slaying a Zhenjun

At that thought, Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord's eyes erupted with raging flames as he roared and unleashed his innate divine ability.

"You all deserve to die!"

Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord (Person Name) roared furiously, channeling every ounce of his spiritual power to unleash his innate divine ability.

It raised its sword toward the heavens, unleashing waves of dazzling incandescent light that flooded the world. Then, thousands of boulders blazing with scorching magma came crashing down from the sky.

"Look out, it's the Meteorite Magma Descent!"

Eldrin's pupils abruptly contracted as he recognized the origin of this divine ability.

The Lava Meteorfall was the ultimate divine ability of the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) demonic lineage. This heaven-shaking, earth-shattering technique could manifest tens of thousands of falling meteors, capable of sinking vast stretches of mountains and rivers.

After Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord (Person Name) broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he integrated this formidable offensive divine ability into his Nascent Soul, transforming it into an innate divine ability. This elevated the technique's grade by 1 tier, reaching the realm of a grand divine ability.

After advancing to the Great Divine Ability, when fueled by the magic power of Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord, the Meteorite Magma Descent possessed such might that it could make even Nascent Soul True Monarchs furrow their brows in grave concern. Upon its emergence, it manifested the peerless divine power of scorching a 1000 miles of land barren.

"Message."

Seeing the situation turning dire, Eldrin activated the Earthen Sovereign Bell and Solar True Aura, then summoned the Sky-Severing Twin Swords to continuously shatter the meteorites raining from the heavens.

Lyra could no longer afford to worry about depleting her spiritual power. She summoned the 4 Symbols Flag Formation, unleashing 4 Golden Core, Late Stage demonic spirits to withstand this innate supreme supernatural power.

Tens of thousands of meteorites left almost no room for evasion. The 2 of them continuously countered with their divine abilities, persisting for a full quarter of an hour before the power of this technique was finally exhausted.

"Finally made it through the tribulation."

Eldrin’s face turned pale, and he hastily swallowed an elixir to replenish the spiritual energy within his body.

To block this great divine power, the 4 guardian spirits manifested by the 4 Symbols Flag Formation (Formation) – all at the Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) – shattered completely. Moreover, the spiritual energy of both cultivators had been depleted by more than half.

"Impossible."

Seeing that even his own innate great supernatural power could do nothing against the 2, Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord revealed an expression of disbelief.

To sustain this divine ability continuously, he had mobilized nearly all the cultivatable mana at his disposal, yet unexpectedly failed to eliminate both adversaries.

"Damn it—"

Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord (Person Name) roared in fury, raising the massive Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) greatsword once more as he sought to strike down the 2 opponents again.

But at this very moment, a wave of weakness suddenly washed over him. Only then did he realize with a start that his Nascent Soul Qi (Spiritual Root) had already been depleted by more than half.

The Nascent Soul had suffered grave damage, and with the array formation and 2 Refining Demonic Supreme Treasures unleashing their power, even Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord, with his extraordinary and formidable strength, was ultimately beginning to buckle under the strain.

Eldrin also noticed his weakness and quickly exclaimed with delight, "Senior, strike now!"

"Clang—"

In that very instant, the formations within the ruins and the 2 supreme demon-refining treasures began to awaken.

The Sun and Moon Wheels, disregarding their severely depleted energy, actually awakened to their absolute peak state, completely suppressing Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord (Person Name) and rendering him immobile.

Heavenly Ruins—

Lyra's eyes flickered as she immediately let out a soft cry.

The Heaven-Void Slaying Immortal Sword actually merged with her in body and blade, unleashing an overwhelming surge of power that tore a gaping wound through Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord (Person Name)'s chest.

Seizing this golden opportunity, Eldrin once again summoned the Heavenly Union Twin Blades. In an instant, the paired swords soared through the air and descended like divine judgment, striking Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord with another devastating blow.

Dealt successive heavy blows, Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord (Person Name) ultimately found himself beyond salvation. Roaring with unyielding ferocity, he struck out violently in all directions, radiating an air of indomitable arrogance.

Yet even a Nascent Soul True Monarch has his limits, especially when each of His opponents was terrifyingly formidable.

The Slanted Sun Wheel had now fully awakened, like a peerless true monarch taking action. With unparalleled force, it pierced through Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord’s skull, tearing open a massive gash.

When Lyra struck once more, she unexpectedly turned and with a single sword stroke cleaved Him in 2 at the waist. Having reached this point, Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord had ultimately come to the end of his road.

He roared and soared into the air, a crimson Nascent Soul flying out as he attempted to flee through the void.

Alas, the array runes had long since locked onto it, forcibly pinning the deity in the void for an instant.

"Slay—"

Seizing the opening, Eldrin summoned the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss. With a single decisive strike, he cleaved his opponent's Nascent Soul in 2.

"Do not destroy it completely."

Lyra's heart ached as she carefully collected the 2 severed halves of Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord's Nascent Soul.

The nascent soul of a demonic cultivator contains the Primordial Qi of Creation. Once extracted, it becomes 1 of the most crucial ingredients for refining the Nascent Soul Formation Pill (Spiritual Object). With Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord's (Person Name) physical form now severed, a significant portion of his damaged Primordial Qi of Creation has likely been lost.

Eldrin also felt a pang of heartache, yet he declared, "This fiend's Nascent Soul is extraordinarily powerful. If we don't slay it now, I fear we may fail to suppress it."

"Alas, I hope this will be enough to exchange for a Nascent Soul Formation Pill (Spiritual Object)."

Lyra knew he spoke the truth and could only heave a sigh.

After collecting Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord's Nascent Soul, Eldrin finally turned his gaze toward the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels nearby.

At this moment, the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels appeared far dimmer than before the battle began, hovering feebly in the void as their aura grew exceptionally faint.

"Esteemed Seniors, are you both alright?"

"This battle has cost us dearly, but with this fiend slain, we can now focus entirely on our recovery."

Qingyue Lun spoke, saying that over these years in their struggle against Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord, had it not been for the power of their formation, they would likely have been defeated by Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord long ago—perhaps even refined by him.

Yet at that moment, the Setting Sun Wheel gazed upon the remains of Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord (Person Name) and calmly remarked, "This Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord (Person Name) was born from the power of the earth's fire veins. Strictly speaking, he could be considered a primordial being."

"Its remains are the purest essence of the fire vein, capable of healing my wounds. The bones shall be mine, while the accompanying spirit sword goes to you. What say you?"

Eldrin’s eyes flickered slightly as he promptly nodded and said, “The 2 of you contributed even more than we did in this battle. Naturally, it should belong to you.”

Putting away the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) greatsword, Lyra (Person Name) inquired further, "Senior, you were once a mid-grade demon-refining treasure. I wonder what misfortune befell you that caused your grade to fall to that of a low-grade demon-refining treasure."

An unexpected turn of events...

The Slanting Sun Wheel trembled slightly at the mention of past events, its radiance wavering for a fleeting moment.

It did not answer either of them. After a long silence, it finally spoke, "Both of you possess extraordinary talent, yet it is a pity you were born in the Violet Realm. If the opportunity arises, you should leave this place."

"Senior, what do you mean by this?"

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he hastily inquired.

The Slanting Sun Wheel remained silent for a long while before uttering astonishing words after what seemed like an eternity: "If we are not mistaken, I fear this realm is on the verge of annihilation."

"The Violet Realm... has fallen?"

Eldrin's scalp prickled with dread, a cold sweat beading upon his brow.

What kind of formidable foe could make even a Demon-Suppressing Supreme Treasure fall into such despair, convinced that there was no chance of redemption left?

The Slanting Sun Wheel hovered gently, continuously drawing upon the essence of Crimson Flame the Blazing Lord, as it calmly stated, "I was once struck by a powerful evil demon, who shattered half of my treasure wheel with a mere flick of his finger, nearly destroying me completely."

"Even after thousands of years of restoration, it has only recovered to this extent."
