Chapter 519 : The Unstoppable Sword of Heaven

When a Great Luo True Lord [a supreme cultivator who has attained the Great Luo Golden Core] unleashes their full power, wielding a Demon-Subduing Immortal Sword [a divine sword forged to vanquish demons] in a cleaving strike, the resulting heavenly might is truly awe-inspiring and boundless.

The might of this single sword strike from Eldrin Chen was overwhelming, akin to the Nine Heavens Silver River [the mythical Milky Way] cascading down upon the mortal realm. Its Sword Qi [the concentrated energy and intent projected from a sword] was indestructible and utterly unstoppable.

Faced with such a sword strike, not only the two True Lord [a title for powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage] of the Qin Clan, but every being within a radius of a million Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] witnessed the dazzling sword radiance illuminating the Nine Firmaments [the highest layers of heaven], their faces contorted in shock and terror.

Within the Yuan Nation Market of the Qin Clan, a Golden Core True Person [a cultivator who has formed a Golden Core, the core of their power] trembled as he spoke, "A sword comes from the east, like the Nine Heavens Silver River [the mythical Milky Way] falling, vast and mighty, unstoppable in its course."

"How could the Qin Immortal Clan have provoked such a formidable enemy?"

Several Golden Core True Person [cultivators who have formed a Golden Core] were filled with dread, sensing a calamitous disaster descending upon them. They transformed into streaks of escaping light and fled, clearly unwilling to be caught in the maelstrom of such a battle.

"Bong—"

From the Tianlu Sect, located several million Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] away, a Great Bell Spiritual Treasure [a powerful bell-shaped spiritual artifact] seemed to sense the disturbance and emitted a resonant, thunderous toll.

From the Dao field [a cultivator's personal cultivation ground] of the Tianlu Sect, four True Lord [powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage] soared into the sky one after another, their expressions a mix of shock and uncertainty as they gazed towards the direction of the Yuan Nation.

One of the True Lord [a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage], his face etched with astonishment, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The power of that sword strike likely approaches the level of the Nascent Soul Late Stage [the advanced phase of the Nascent Soul realm]. Could it be that Magnus the Virtuous has taken action?" Visit audio–novel.com to enjoy the complete series.

"It is definitely not Magnus the Virtuous."

Tianlu Sect Master shook his head, his gaze grave as he said, "Magnus the Virtuous is not a Sword Cultivator, and this Sword Intent [a cultivator's conceptual understanding and will manifested through the sword] aligns more with the Ji Continent Sword Immortal who has risen to prominence in recent years."

Mentioning Eldrin Chen, Tianlu Sect Master's expression grew slightly more solemn. He continued, "As long as Eldrin Chen does not fall prematurely, he will likely become a powerful True Lord of the Nascent Soul Late Stage in the future. Such a person is not one we should offend."

"This matter is not our concern. I trust he will provide us with an explanation afterward."

Even the onlookers felt this sword strike possessed unparalleled, annihilating power.

Upon the Qin Clan's Spirit Mountain [a mountain imbued with concentrated spiritual energy], the two True Lord of the Qin Clan who faced this strike directly were under pressure far beyond their imagination.

In that critical moment, the Qin Clan Patriarch immediately took action, activating the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [a powerful defensive array protecting a mountain stronghold].

"BOOM—"

A deafening explosion erupted as a pale golden treasure seal shot forth from the Qin Clan's Spirit Mountain.

That treasure seal was named the Gilded Heaven Seal, a Spiritual Treasure [a treasure of immense power, often with a sentient spirit] capable of both offense and defense. It also served as the Qin Immortal Clan's mountain-suppressing Formation Tool [a magical treasure specifically designed to anchor and power a formation].

As the treasure seal descended, stabilizing the heavens and earth, and propping open the golden protective aegis to guard the Spirit Mountain, the members of the Qin Clan finally allowed themselves a slight sigh of relief.

Yet, even as their gazes followed, that peerless sword radiance arrived, crashing down upon the Spirit Mountain Grand Formation with a thunderous impact. In the next instant, it cleaved through the formation with a single, unstoppable slash.

"Disaster."

The Qin Clan Patriarch's expression shifted dramatically. He had never imagined that Eldrin Chen could shatter their Mountain Guardian Grand Formation with merely one stroke of his sword.

However, after cleaving through the Formation, that sword radiance split into two separate beams of light. They diverged, flying off into the depths of the void.

From those profound depths of the void, Eldrin Chen flicked his sleeve, recalling the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords. He advanced, treading upon the void like a white-robed immortal exiled from the heavens.

"Eldrin Chen…"

Watching the snow-white figure approach, Qin Duzun's face paled, a flicker of terror surfacing in his eyes.

Their Qin Clan's Mountain Guardian Grand Formation was extraordinarily potent. Not only did it employ an inferior-grade Spiritual Treasure as its Formation Eye, but it was also powered by a Fifth Rank Low Grade Spirit Vein.

To breach such a Formation required, at minimum, a Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure specialized in offense. And a Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure was potent enough to serve as the Clan-Suppressing Supreme Treasure for a Nascent Soul Great Sect.

Even the Tianlu Sect [a major cultivation sect], despite possessing a Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier enchanted artifact], did not wield a supreme offensive treasure.

It was precisely the presence of this Spirit Mountain [a mountain imbued with potent spiritual energy] that led the two True Lord [a title for powerful Nascent Soul realm cultivators] of the Qin Clan to believe that, even if they could not defeat Eldrin Chen, they could still retreat and hold their ground within their clan's Dao field.

Now, as Eldrin Chen activated the union of his twin swords, unleashing a strike nearly comparable to a superior-grade Demon-Subduing Immortal Sword [a powerful sword designed to vanquish demons], he shattered the Qin Clan's Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [a powerful protective array] with a single blow. This outcome far exceeded their expectations.

With this realization, Qin Duzun said to the Qin Clan Patriarch, "Elder Brother, we cannot match this foe. We must retreat, and swiftly."

"It seems we have no other choice," the Patriarch conceded with a sigh.

The Qin Clan Patriarch let out a sigh and prepared to flee into the depths of the void. Enjoyed this chapter? Read more at audio-novel . com.

Yet Eldrin Chen, having initiated this confrontation, had no intention of letting them escape.

Lyra Jiang had been waiting for this moment. She immediately activated the Earth-Fortress Earth Origin Disk [a treasure disk that manipulates earth essence], its formation runes spreading to envelop the void and seal off the surrounding heavens and earth.

Following closely, the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a treasure that creates a domain of opposing forces] tore through space, its power suppressing the world for thousands of Li-lengths in all directions.

"Damnation!"

The Qin Clan Patriarch's expression shifted abruptly. Seeing the void sealed, Qin Duzun hastily summoned a cyan-hued immortal sword.

This blade, named the Sovereign Sword, was Qin Duzun's Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact bound to its wielder's very soul], its grade having reached the level of an inferior Spiritual Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact].

Yet, the moment it was drawn, it was seized by the Yin-Yang Magnetic Power [a force that attracts and repels based on opposing polarities] and began flying towards the Treasure Mirror.

That Qin Duzun had only broken through to the Nascent Soul [the realm where a cultivator's spirit forms an independent entity] four hundred years prior and had just recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Second Layer. Furthermore, he was merely a Mortal Dao Nascent Soul [a Nascent Soul formed through the Mortal Dao path, considered of lower foundation], his Mana [the refined spiritual energy used to power spells and techniques] far inferior to Eldrin Chen's.

Now, with his Spiritual Treasure countered, he could only watch helplessly as his Flying Sword [a sword controlled by spiritual will for flight and combat] was seized by Eldrin Chen.

"My immortal sword!"

Qin Duzun cried out in anguish, desperately trying to reclaim his blade.

Seeing this, the Qin Clan Patriarch on the other side immediately suppressed the urge to activate his own Spiritual Treasure. Both of the Spiritual Treasure in his possession were of the metal attribute, and were thus severely countered by the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a treasure mirror that manipulates the void and magnetic forces].

With no other choice, he gritted his teeth and, in an instant, unleashed a surge of Nascent Soul Qi [the potent spiritual energy unique to a Nascent Soul cultivator].

The Qin Clan Patriarch's cultivation had now reached the Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier. After unleashing his Nascent Soul Qi, his Mana had touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage.

Leveraging his formidable Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by cultivators], Qin Clan Patriarch unleashed his Lifebound Grand Divine Ability [a supreme mystical technique intrinsically linked to one's life force], manifesting a dark treasure vase that surged towards the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a mystical mirror capable of manipulating the boundaries between Yin, Yang, and the Void].

This dark vase was named the 'Black Abyss Annihilation Vase Seal' [a sealing technique that conjures a vase capable of annihilating all it consumes], an immensely powerful Great Divine Ability [a supreme-level mystical art]. It could absorb all things between heaven and earth; even a Nascent Soul True Lord [a cultivator who has formed their Primordial Spirit] would be reduced to tribulation ashes if drawn inside.

As a Mortal Dao Nascent Soul [a Nascent Soul cultivator who ascended via the path of mortal comprehension], this Divine Ability [a mystical art or supernatural power] represented Qin Clan Patriarch's ultimate, trump-card Lifebound Grand Divine Ability [a supreme mystical technique intrinsically linked to one's life force].

The moment this Divine Ability [a mystical art or supernatural power] was unleashed, a dark gale howled forth, seeking to suck the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void [a mystical mirror capable of manipulating the boundaries between Yin, Yang, and the Void] into its maw.

Lyra Jiang furrowed her brow. If the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void [a mystical mirror capable of manipulating the boundaries between Yin, Yang, and the Void] were swallowed, the two opponents might truly have a chance to escape with their lives.

With that thought, she raised her hand and sent the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword [a legendary sword famed for its power to slay immortals] sweeping forth with overwhelming might, aiming to shatter the Black Abyss Annihilation Vase Seal [a sealing technique that conjures a vase capable of annihilating all it consumes].

"Do not let her succeed!"

Qin Clan Patriarch shouted urgently. Hearing this, Qin Dukong acted decisively, propelling his defensive Divine Ability [a mystical art or supernatural power] forward to intercept Lyra Jiang's strike.

In that brief moment of delay, the Black Abyss Annihilation Vase Seal [a sealing technique that conjures a vase capable of annihilating all it consumes] managed to pull at the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a mystical mirror capable of manipulating the boundaries between Yin, Yang, and the Void], causing it to tremble violently.

"Hmph—"

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen arrived at that moment. With a cold sneer, he flicked his sleeves, unleashing two bolts of lightning—it was none other than the Water-Fire Divine Thunder [a powerful thunder technique that harnesses the opposing yet complementary forces of water and fire].

The crimson and azure streaks of lightning descended with a speed that could be described as Star-Chasing Moon-Pursuing [a metaphor for extreme, almost instantaneous swiftness], instantly shattering the Black Abyss Annihilation Vase Seal into fragments.

"It's over."

The Qin Clan Patriarch's heart sank. Ignoring the restraining effect of the Yin-Yang Void Realm, he immediately summoned two Spiritual Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts of a higher order than ordinary magical treasures] to block the attack.

Qin Dukong's two Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [spiritual treasures personally refined and bound to a cultivator's soul] were named the 'Star-Moon Vase' and the Ethereal Void Shield, respectively.

The Star-Moon Vase was a special offensive Spiritual Treasure. It could draw upon the power of the stars and the moon [celestial bodies believed to hold potent spiritual energy], unleashing a Great Divine Ability [a supreme-level supernatural power] of stellar and lunar might, whose potency was truly extraordinary.
