Chapter 520 Annihilating the Qin Clan

Eldrin recognized the origin of this Star-Moon Vessel. Long ago, the ancestral lands of the Chen Clan in Qi Kingdom were sunk by a single strike from this very demon-refining supreme treasure.

The Yuanxu Shield was a defensive spirit treasure, and its protective capabilities could truly be considered extraordinary.

With these 2 spiritual treasures in hand, the Qin Clan Leader unleashed the full force of his Nascent Soul Qi (Spiritual Root). Even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) would have to furrow their brow in response.

Earlier, Qin Kong had not dared to activate them because both spiritual treasures were fused with precious metals, and he feared they would be seized by the Yin-Yang Void Mirror. But now, with his life on the line, he could no longer afford such hesitation.

Alas, this sole method still fell short before Eldrin. With a mere lift of his hand, Eldrin summoned the 2 Polarities Divine Light, effortlessly ensnaring the Stellar Lunar Vessel.

Then the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) cast a beam of light, unexpectedly drawing this treasure into the mirror.

"Ah, my Star-Moon Vessel (Magic Treasure)."

Watching the spiritual treasure being taken away, Qin Dugu’s heart ached unbearably.

Alas, before he could ponder further, the Sky-Severing Twin Swords transformed into 2 blinding sword-auras that slashed toward him.

At this life-or-death moment, Qin Dukong strained to maintain his Primordial Void Shield, his face contorted with ferocity as he glared at Eldrin (Person Name) and snarled, "Junior, this old man will fight you to the death!"

As his voice fell, he raised a hand and unexpectedly summoned a treasure talisman, unleashing a wave of black baleful qi that shot straight toward them.

Black Malefic Radiance.

Eldrin's expression shifted slightly as he recognized the origin of this treasure talisman.

The Black Maleficent Radiance was the signature divine ability of Elder Black Maleficence, and this treasure talisman had reached the grade of mid-tier fifth rank—its power could truly be called extraordinary.

Faced with this Black Miasma Demonic Light, Eldrin had no choice but to hastily summon the Tripartite Divine Thunder to block it. To his shock, the demonic light pierced straight through the thunderous defense, its residual force continuing to slash toward him.

Fortunately, his protective divine ability, the Solar True Aura, was most effective in restraining this kind of Demonic Fiend Qi (Spiritual Root), blocking the remaining demonic light.

After blocking the Black Malice Demonic Light, Eldrin sneered coldly, "The Black Malice Ancestor's demonic talisman. So you truly have dealings with demonic cultivators."

"If it were the Black Fiend Ancestor himself unleashing this divine ability, I might not be a match. But with merely a single Demonic Path treasure talisman, you’re still far from enough."

As the words fell, Eldrin (Person Name) unleashed the Heaven-Earth Twin Swords in a sweeping arc, forcing the Qin Clan Patriarch into a desperate retreat.

The great battle raged for half an hour until Eldrin finally unleashed the 100 Spirits Immortal-Slaying Sword, severing the head of the Qin Clan Patriarch.

On the other side, Qin Duzun fared no better. His physical body was severed by the Heaven-Void Immortal-Slaying Sword, and though his Nascent Soul managed to escape, it was ultimately reduced to ashes by Lyra (Person Name) wielding the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art).

With the strength and hidden cards possessed by the 2 True Monarchs of the Qin Clan, even if they encountered an ordinary True Monarch at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm), although they would be outmatched, their chances of escaping were actually quite substantial.

Alas, Eldrin had the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void sealing the void, forcing them into a corner with no escape. In the end, they could only be slain by the 2, thus fulfilling this tribulation.

After slaying 2 Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Eldrin resolved the greatest karmic bond of this lifetime, feeling as if his very soul had been set free.

In the profound depths of his being, he felt a barrier between himself and the heavens and earth shatter. At this moment, his Nascent Soul could directly perceive the cosmos, and the mysteries of all creation were laid bare before him.

Heaven and Man in Communion.

Eldrin murmured to himself, sensing the heavens and earth in this very moment, finally comprehending the state he was in.

It turned out that after severing the karmic ties, his soul had undergone a certain purification, fully unleashing the power of his Great Luo Nascent Soul. Now, he could remain in a state of communion between Heaven and Man at all times.

This communion between heaven and man was a state akin to enlightenment, allowing him to perceive the power of the cosmos at every moment. His comprehension had suddenly multiplied by severalfold.

Under normal circumstances, only a Dao Lord who had cultivated a Primordial Yang Spirit could achieve such a state. Yet, he had reached this level while still at the Nascent Soul stage—truly demonstrating the heaven-defying nature of the Great Luo Nascent Soul.

When he informed Lyra of the situation, she exclaimed in astonishment, "To maintain the Heaven-Man Resonance at this realm means you'll perpetually dwell near the threshold of enlightenment. Coupled with your astounding comprehension, the effects will undoubtedly be extraordinary."

"I can sense it."

Eldrin nodded slightly. Previously, perfecting the blueprint for a single Life-Bound Spiritual Treasure would have required a full 60-year cycle. Yet now, he could sense that he needed merely 10 years to complete the deduction of such a treasure—his speed had increased more than sixfold.

Alas, now was not the time to test his comprehension. Eldrin suppressed the thought and urged the 100 Souls Immortal-Slaying Sword to devour the True Monarch of Qin's soul. After a long moment, he spoke again:

This time, the 100 Spirits Immortal-Slaying Sword had successively devoured the souls of 3 Human True Monarchs, and its power had already increased tremendously.

"It seems that after returning and fusing some more 5 Elements essence, this sword will be able to advance to a mid-grade spirit treasure."

Lyra nodded upon hearing this and said, "The advantage of the 100 Spirits Immortal-Slaying Sword lies in its convenient advancement. Unfortunately, it leans too heavily toward unorthodox methods. Using it to slay humans carries significant karmic consequences."

"Be it a demonic sword or a fiendish blade—if wielded in the cause of righteousness, does it not serve as a noble weapon?"

Eldrin (Person Name) remarked with serene detachment, his perspective unclouded by trivial concerns. So long as this blade could vanquish his greatest foe, what significance did the burden of karmic retribution hold?

As the words faded, Eldrin collected the treasures of the 2 Qin Patriarchs before turning his gaze toward the Qin clan's spirit mountain dojo.

Recalling how the Qin Clan had once annihilated the Dark Ink Mountain, a trace of aloofness surfaced in his expression.

He stepped forth into the void and spoke with transcendent calm, "4 100 years ago, the Qin Clan seized my mother's Dao Body. 30 years ago, they obliterated the ancestral lands of the Chen Clan, causing the fall of over 10 million descendants of our bloodline."

"Now that I, Eldrin, have come seeking vengeance, even if I must bear immeasurable karmic sin, I shall eradicate every last Qin Clan cultivator."

Upon the Spirit Mountain, the Qin Clan cultivators all revealed expressions of utter terror upon hearing these words.

They lifted their heads to gaze at the firmament, where an illusory treasure mirror hung suspended in the sky, radiating a brilliance both dazzling and sublime, before they lost consciousness.

Endless mirror light illuminated heaven and earth, reducing all mountains and rivers to ruin wherever it passed. The Qin Clan's hundreds of thousands of cultivators wailed in despair before losing consciousness amid the resplendent radiance, their bodies disintegrating into calamity ashes that scattered across the world.

Eldrin spent 1 full day and night slaughtering nearly all of the Qin Clan cultivators, with only a handful of survivors who happened to be away from the dao sanctuary managing to escape with their lives.

Eldrin showed mercy to the mortals, yet demanded they change their names and identities, intending to deliver them to the Heavenly Abode Sect for judgment in due time.

After annihilating the Qin Clan, Eldrin and Lyra ascended the spirit mountain, swiftly bringing the entire peak under their control.

In the blink of an eye, 3 days had passed.

That day, Eldrin sat upright in the main hall of the Qin Clan, beginning to take stock of his gains.

After a brief inventory, Lyra (Person Name) smiled and remarked, "With the fall of the Qin Clan this time, our hands have finally become more ample."

"Indeed, the Qin Clan's 6 centuries of accumulation may not compare to many long-established Nascent Soul families with ancient legacies, but they have still amassed some foundation over the years."
