Chapter 443 Kill Astrael (Person Name)

He activated his divine ability to shield himself, only to realize it was the Oblique Sun Wheel catching up to him.

Without a second thought, he instantly swerved and flew southward, only to find the Clear Moon Ring already blocking his path, forcibly driving him back.

"Damn it."

Astrael's gaze was icy cold. Even without a True Monarch at its helm, the supreme treasure for refining demons, when fully awakened, still possessed enough power to pose a significant nuisance to him.

If not for Lyra (Person Name) and Eldrin (Person Name), he was confident he could have dragged out the battle until both supreme treasures were drained of their power. Yet now, such an opportunity was beyond his grasp.

"We can't keep dragging on like this."

With that thought, Astrael soared into the air and actually summoned his innate divine ability—6 Harmonies Starry Sword (Innate Divine Ability).

This 6 Harmonies Star Sword Art was the signature divine ability created by Astrael (Person Name) through comprehending the 6 stars of the Southern Dipper.

Drawing upon the 6 celestial bodies—Tianfu, Tianliang, Tianji, Tiantong, Tianxiang, and Qisha—he forged 6 blades of astral sword energy.

Back in the day, Astrael had even relied on this divine ability to slay several Golden Core cultivators in succession. Now, after breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, his first action was to integrate this offensive divine ability into his Nascent Soul.

After this divine ability integrated into his Nascent Soul and became an Innate Divine Ability, its grade had already advanced by a major tier, reaching the realm of a Great Divine Ability.

Now, with Astrael’s very first move, he unleashed the 6 Harmonies Star Sword—a clear indication that he had revealed his ultimate trump card from the very beginning.

To completely break through the encirclement, he did not hesitate to deplete his Nascent Soul Qi (Spiritual Root), boosting his magical power by a full 50 percent.

"You insignificant cultivators dare to offend a True Lord? Then face the wrath of this sovereign!"

Astrael let out a long roar as 6 Celestial Star Swords soared around him, their dazzling radiance illuminating the endless firmament, unexpectedly casting a pale blue hue over the vast sea of infernal flames.

As he channeled his magic power to summon them, 6 Celestial Star Swords emerged 1 after another, striking directly toward Eldrin (Person Name).

Not good.

Eldrin swiftly retreated, immediately summoning the Trinity Divine Thunder and hurling it forward.

Even though his mana purity was nearly on par with a True Monarch's after being tempered by the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), the 3 Talents Divine Thunder was still shattered in a single blow.

"My magical power is still not profound enough."

Eldrin's gaze turned frosty as he prepared to channel energy into the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss to counter the formidable technique. Suddenly, Lyra's Celestial Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword descended with a metallic ring, intercepting all 6 stellar celestial blades.

In that very instant, the Celestial Maiden seized the opportunity. While unleashing her divine power to force Lyra (Person Name) into full defense, she simultaneously surged forward to break through.

Yet he had only charged a 100 paces when he realized countless formation flags descended, sealing the very void itself.

“Taiyi Heaven-Sealing Formation (Formation)，Four Symbols Flag Formation (Formation)。”

Astrael's pupils contracted slightly. Activating 2 sets of supreme-grade formation flags simultaneously would indeed be enough to hold him back for a moment.

The situation was critical, and he dared not linger any longer. Ignoring the strain on his spiritual energy, he once again channeled his power to summon the Celestial Star Sword.

This innate divine ability truly lived up to being 1 of the Nascent Soul cultivator's ultimate trump cards. With the strike of his 6 Celestial Star Swords, he shattered 2 formations along with the 4 Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) true spirits in a single blow.

2 of the 4 Symbols Flag Formation (Formation) were instantly destroyed, while the Taiyi Heaven-Sealing Formation (Formation) was also severely damaged.

"Now."

But in that very instant, Eldrin's pupils abruptly dilated as he transformed into a dazzling sword-light.

Sword and Soul as 1!

"Damn it."

Watching Eldrin merge with his sword, transforming into a violet wandering dragon as his immortal blade slashed down, Astrael found his own technique fully extended, forced to hastily activate his protective divine art to withstand the blow.

Alas, facing Eldrin’s all-out strike, his divine power was instantly torn asunder. With a single resonant slash, his physical body was cleaved open. After his corporeal form was destroyed, Astrael’s Primordial Soul attempted to flee, but it was too late—raging Li Fire surged forth, engulfing and igniting even his Nascent Soul.

"Ah—"

Astrael's Nascent Soul wailed in agony. A cultivator's Nascent Soul was extremely fragile, and the Slaughtering Li Fire of the Refining Demon Immortal Sword possessed boundless destructive power. Once tainted by this Li Fire, he was utterly doomed.

With a final agonized shriek, he was sent flying for thousands of miles, only to be ultimately devoured by the Li Fire. His Nascent Soul was utterly consumed, reduced to Tribulation Ashes.

Before his death, Astrael (Person Name) was filled with resentment and bitterness. For a 1000 years, he had devoted himself to cultivation, committing countless heinous acts along the path of enlightenment. To obtain the 9 Heavens Star Fragment (Spiritual Object), he had even betrayed his most trusted confidant.

At times, he would also jolt awake from nightmares, and each time he did, he would firmly believe that anyone standing in his path was a Dao-blocker.

Even if it were my closest friend, should their death pave but a single stone upon my path, it would be worth the cost.

At the final moment, he felt no regret, only resentment and unwillingness. He hated that his death was so ignoble and suffocating.

If only he could wait another 100 years, until his cultivation base gradually stabilized and he successfully reforged his Natal Spirit Treasure, he would never have been reduced to such a predicament.

"Hoo—"

Watching Astrael fall, Eldrin finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Hold on, let me secure my perfect attendance. 2 of the 4 Symbols Flag Formation's banners were instantly destroyed, and the Taiyi Heaven-Sealing Formation was severely damaged as well.

"Now."

But in that very instant, Eldrin's pupils abruptly dilated as he transformed into a brilliant sword radiance.

Body and Sword as 1!

"Damn it."

As Eldrin merged with his sword, transforming into a purple soaring dragon that struck like an immortal blade, Astrael found his own technique overextended. He could only hastily channel his protective divine ability to withstand the assault.

Alas, facing Eldrin’s all-out strike, his divine power was instantly torn in 2, and his entire physical body was cleaved apart with a resounding clang. After his corporeal form was destroyed, Astrael’s Primordial Soul still sought to flee, but to his despair, raging Li Fire swept over, igniting his Nascent Soul in a blaze of annihilation.

"Ah—"

With a final agonized shriek, he was sent flying for thousands of miles, only to be ultimately devoured by the Li Fire. His Nascent Soul was utterly consumed, reduced to ashes of calamity.

At times, he would also jolt awake from nightmares, each time convinced that anyone standing in his path was a Dao-Blocker.

Even if it were my closest friend, should their death serve as a stepping stone upon my path, it would be deemed worthy.

At the final moment, he felt no remorse, only resentment and unwillingness. He hated how ignominious his death was.

If only he could wait another 100 years, until his cultivation base gradually stabilized and he reforged his life-bound spirit treasure, he would never have been reduced to such a predicament.

Hoo——

Watching Astrael fall, Eldrin let out a heavy sigh of relief.

If only he could wait another 100 years, until his cultivation base gradually stabilized and he reforged his life-bound spirit treasure, he would never have been reduced to such a predicament.
