Chapter 578 Slaying a Yuanying

"Clang—"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than his pupils abruptly constricted, for he beheld a dazzling sword radiance cleaving directly toward him.

Without another word, Eldrin immediately summoned the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, striking first to gain the upper hand.

"What a fine immortal sword."

The young scholar let out an admiring sigh. With a flick of his wrist, his folding fan snapped open, releasing a hazy azure aura that swished through the air, effortlessly blocking the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure).

9 Heavens Qianqing Fan (Magic Treasure)

Lyra's eyes flickered with recognition as she identified the origin of this treasure.

This 9 Heavens Qianqing Fan is 1 of the Purple 9 Treasures, modeled after the legendary innate spiritual treasure that once shook the world. Though the current artifact is merely a replica, its grade has already reached the mid-tier of Rank 5.

This treasure can unleash the Pure Yang Aura, making it a formidable spiritual artifact capable of both offense and defense.

Seeing the 9 Heavens Qianqing Fan blocking the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), he immediately summoned the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword and swung it straight down in a direct slash.

"Yet another mid-grade demon-slaying immortal sword?"

The young scholar's expression turned slightly grave, not daring to underestimate the situation as he called out urgently, "You 2, strike now!"

The veiled maiden smiled enchantingly and raised her hand to summon a dragon-patterned short sword. Forged from the reverse scales of a flood dragon, this miniature blade was also a lethal spirit treasure, its unleashed edge radiating extraordinary power.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) flicked his sleeve and immediately summoned the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword (Magic Treasure) to strike at the robed young woman.

The great battle erupted into a white-hot frenzy from the very first moment. After exchanging several dozen moves, both sides realized they could gain no immediate advantage over the other.

"How could these 2 possess so many spiritual treasures?"

The veiled maiden frowned, seeing she couldn't subdue Eldrin swiftly. After casting a glance at Lila and the other 2, she commanded, "Keep them occupied first. I'll go capture those 3."

"Then make it quick."

The burly man spoke with unwavering confidence, certain that with the Black Wraith Maiden's Nascent Soul, 5th Tier (Cultivation Realm) cultivation base, capturing Lila (Person Name)—a mere Nascent Soul, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivator—would be effortless.

The girl in black gauze swiftly disengaged and immediately launched an assault toward Lila (Person Name). However, a radiant light blossomed between Lila's brows, materializing into a crystalline pagoda forged of pure ice.

The Frostjade Pagoda held firm against the void, enveloping heaven and earth with waves of profound ice energy. Despite the relentless assaults of the dragon-patterned short swords, its defenses remained unbreachable.

Superior Spiritual Treasure.

The dark-robed maiden gasped in surprise, then a look of greed flashed across her face.

Not only her, but even the white-robed scholar and the burly man were stirred. Superior spirit treasures were exceedingly rare, enough to serve as foundational assets for most Nascent Soul immortal families.

The 3 of them were merely wandering cultivators—how could they possibly possess such a priceless treasure in their hands?

"Let's do this."

In that fleeting moment when the thoughts of the 3 wavered, Eldrin immediately took action. He summoned the Water-Fire Divine Thunder, transforming it into 2 streaks of lightning that shot straight toward the scholar in white.

Great Ascension Divine Art.

The white-robed scholar's face abruptly changed color. Great Ascension divine abilities were typically only mastered by late-stage Nascent Soul grand cultivators. The moment Eldrin made his move, he felt a lethal crisis.

In that moment of peril, the scholar in white flicked his sleeve and unexpectedly summoned an ancient treasure map.

The treasure map tore through the void, unexpectedly carrying him through spatial displacement to evade Eldrin's strike.

Spatial Spirit Treasure.

Eldrin frowned, never expecting this person to possess a spiritual treasure akin to the Yin-Yang Void Mirror.

This treasure is called the 7 Stars Void Escape Diagram. Though not as versatile as the Yin-Yang Void Mirror, it is a supreme treasure specifically crafted for escape. It can instantly transport a cultivator through the void for 1,000,000 miles, making it a first-class life-preserving spiritual artifact.

Before he could pursue the white-robed scholar, the burly man seized the opportunity to summon an ancient cyan-gold chalice, directing its assault toward both of them.

This Ancient Cyan-Gold Chalice was the burly man’s Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, forged from Profound Mystery Cyan-Gold after he collected vast quantities of Profound Origin Heavy Water and numerous spiritual herbs.

This treasure specifically countered water and wood spiritual treasures, actually suppressing Eldrin's Heavenly River Ren Water Sword to the point where it couldn't even unleash its power.

Not only that, he raised his hand and summoned an ancient bronze Coiling Dragon Staff, bringing it crashing down toward Eldrin (Person Name) with overwhelming force.

"A body cultivator?"

Eldrin’s gaze shifted as he said to Lyra, “Hold off those 2 for a moment for me.”

No sooner had he spoken than he summoned the Yin-Yang Void Mirror. In that instant, the burly man suddenly felt his hands empty—the Coiling Dragon Staff had been seized by a beam of light and drawn up into the sky.

That Coiling Dragon Staff was merely a low-grade fifth-tier spirit treasure, and being inherently suppressed by the Yin-Yang Void Mirror, it was seized in a single encounter.

"Ah, my spiritual treasure!"

The burly man's face was etched with heartache. In the blink of an eye, he unleashed his innate divine ability, transforming into a colossal form that blotted out the sky as he charged toward Eldrin (Person Name).

This individual was a rare body cultivator, whose inscribed innate great supernatural power turned out to be the legendary Celestial Being Manifestation.

However, as he watched this man charge forward, Eldrin showed not the slightest fear. With a forceful downward slash of his hand, he actually struck out with the raw physical power of his supreme physique, sending the burly man flying backward through the air.

"You're a body cultivator as well?"

The burly man was sent flying backward, his face paling as he couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

Eldrin (Person Name) let out a cold sneer and said indifferently, "A mere Mortal Dao Nascent Soul dares to act so arrogantly?"

As the words fell, the Eldritch Earth Sovereign Bell descended from above, striking forth with world-shattering force. With a deafening clang, it smashed into the burly man, splitting his head and drawing blood.

"Quick, lend him a hand!"

Seeing this, the scholar in white immediately moved to intervene, but Lyra’s 6 Harmonies Cauldron dominated the space around them, effortlessly blocking his advance.

The dark-robed girl had no time to attack Lila (Person Name), withdrawing to offer support, yet she was halted by Lyra (Person Name)'s second nascent soul.

"Clang—"

In an instant, Eldrin sealed his opponent with the Yin-Yang Void Realm. 2 immortal swords soared from behind him—it was the Heaven-Sundering Twin Blades merging into 1, slashing down upon the foe.

Watching the twin swords closing in with a deadly arc, the burly man roared in desperation when he found no room to evade. He erupted with Nascent Soul Qi (Spiritual Root), simultaneously activating the Azure-Gold Ancient Chalice and a golden bracelet spirit treasure. Then, he unleashed a supreme defensive technique—the Unshakable Golden Body.

This individual truly lived up to being a Nascent Soul, Mid Stage cultivator. After unleashing his Nascent Soul Qi, his spiritual power surged dramatically, actually managing to block Eldrin's killing move—a strike potent enough to threaten even Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

But before he could even catch his breath, a pure white sword light tore across the sky, slashing toward him head-on.

100 Spirits Slaying Immortal Sword.

"Ah—"

After a piercing shriek, the burly man was instantly cleaved in 2, not even his Nascent Soul managing to escape.

This 100 Spirits Soul-Slaying Sword was the bane of human cultivators. Since Eldrin obtained it, every time he unleashed this blade, it would inevitably claim the life of a True Lord. Including the 2 patriarchs of the Qin Clan and Tengyun the Cloudrider, a total of 3 Nascent Soul True Lords had fallen beneath this sword.

After successively slaying formidable foes, the sword's power had greatly increased, reaching the level of a mid-grade demon-slaying immortal sword. Now unleashed once more, it indeed achieved monumental success—seizing the burly man's soul and settling the account with a single strike.
