Chapter 585 Everyone Shows Their Prowess, Repelling the Strong Enemy

The Old Patriarch and Elara naturally did not let the opportunity slip. With a resonant clang, the Old Patriarch summoned the Golden Flame Sword and struck, seizing the moment to claim its life.

The Crimson Serpent Demon Emperor attempted to flee, but at the critical moment, Elara (Person Name) immediately unleashed her innate divine ability, ‘Ice Soul Radiance Condensation Curse’, striking down upon it. Surprisingly, this caused the demon emperor to falter momentarily.

Seizing the opportunity, Lila (Person Name) channeled her formidable cultivation base, driving the Icesoul Frostlight Sword (Magic Treasure) forth in another relentless assault.

Then, the Golden Flame Sword and the Ice Soul Sword crisscrossed as they descended, actually cleaving the Crimson Serpent Demon Emperor into 3 segments.

"Ah—"

The Crimson Serpent Demon Emperor let out a wretched scream. Despite being a great demon at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage realm, it forcibly erupted its nascent soul at the critical moment, releasing a surge of Nascent Soul Qi to make its escape.

Witnessing the Crimson Serpent Demon Emperor's physical form being severed, the Scorpio Demon Emperor's heart trembled with terror. He swiftly withdrew, fleeing madly without a second thought—abandoning even the Purple Jade Demon Emperor in his desperate escape.

"2 good-for-nothings!"

Watching as 2 Demon Emperors were defeated—1 with his physical form destroyed, the other fleeing for his life in madness—the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) could not suppress his rising fury.

He single-handedly suppressed 5 Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) combatants, arrogantly believing even a Great Perfection Nascent Soul expert would be no different. Yet his 2 allies proved utterly disappointing.

"I hate this."

Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) stared fixedly at the crowd, his heart seething with boundless resentment.

Even the Nascent Soul Demon Emperor has his limits; for all his formidable combat prowess, there are bounds to what 1 can achieve alone.

It only lamented that it did not command 10 Nascent Soul Realm Demon Monarchs under its banner. If it could amass as many Nascent Soul-level combatants as Eldrin, wouldn’t it be able to sweep through The Vast Sea unimpeded?

"Damn it!"

The Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) roared in fury. Refusing to accept defeat, he unleashed his true form and activated 1 final grand divine ability.

A colossal purple serpent-dragon coiled into the sky, summoning waves of violet lightning that descended upon the earth like a cataclysmic tide.

9 Heavens Demonic Deity Myriad Tribulations Art.

Everyone's expressions shifted dramatically as they recognized the origins of this supreme divine ability.

Eldrin never imagined that the Purple Jade Demon Emperor had actually cultivated a fourth Great Ascension Art, and the power of this fourth art even verged on the level of a Quasi-Pure Yang Art.

The might of this divine ability was far too immense—so immense that the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) could not unleash it in his human form. Only by reverting to his true form could he activate it.

But then, countless heavenly tribulations rained down from the skies, each bolt possessing the power to tear apart the heavens and shatter the earth, leaving the crowd with nowhere to flee and no place to hide.

In haste, Eldrin (Person Name) summoned the Earthen Sovereign Bell (Magic Treasure) to block the attack, his face drastically changing as he exclaimed, "Let us join forces to withstand this!"

Witnessing this, everyone swiftly took action. Lila’s (Person Name) Icy Soul Condensing Jade Pagoda, Lyra’s (Person Name) Earthly Soil Kun-Primordial Disk, and a succession of other defensive spirit treasures and divine abilities unfurled, beginning to withstand this quasi-Pure Yang divine art.

However, the 9 Heavens Demonic God’s 10 1000 Calamities Art was relentless and unending. Countless bolts of thunder fell as if without cease, and even the assembled experts felt their spiritual energy depleting rapidly, making it difficult to endure for much longer.

At that critical moment, Yan Zijie raised her hand and unleashed an ethereal blade light, striking directly at the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast). With a single move, she carved a 100-zhang wound upon the demon emperor's form.

"It is the Violet Cosmos Severing Void Blade."

Lyra's eyes lit up as she recognized the origin of this divine ability.

The lineage of the Violet Cosmos Dao Lord had inherited 3 supreme divine arts and 1 numinous treasure. The numinous treasure was, naturally, the Violet Cosmos Void-Sojourning Mirror(Violet Cosmos Void-Sojourning Mirror (Magic Treasure)), while the divine arts were respectively the Violet Cosmos Heaven-Cleaving Sword(Violet Cosmos Heaven-Cleaving Sword (Divine Ability)), the Violet Cosmos Unbreakable Aegis(Violet Cosmos Unbreakable Aegis (Divine Ability)), and the Violet Cosmos Void-Severing Blade(Violet Cosmos Void-Severing Blade (Divine Ability)).

The Violet Cosmos Severing Void Blade was a spatial mystic art. This technique was formless and intangible, making it most suitable for ambushes. Once unleashed, it was nearly impossible to defend against—even a Great Circle Nascent Soul cultivator would suffer severe injuries if struck by it.

The Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) was wounded by a single strike, his expression instantly shifting dramatically as he recoiled in haste, a flicker of shock and uncertainty crossing his features.

In that very instant, Freya seized the opportunity to strike. A formless sword gleam sliced through the heavens with a sharp whistle, cleanly severing half of Purple Jade Demon Emperor's tail.

"Roar——"

The Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) let out an agonized shriek, retreating explosively once more with unparalleled fury and shock. Only then did it realize that each ethereal sword gleam flickered through the void—so elusive that even its divine sense struggled to grasp them.

The Ji Clan's Unseen Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure).

The Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) roared in fury, for this immortal sword was none other than the Ji Clan's Unseen Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure).

Back in the day, the Ji Clan Leader had once used this very sword to slay the Great Perfection Nascent Soul demon sovereign of the Emerald Ripple Lake. Now that Dorian (Person Name) had broken through to the Spirit Soul realm, the blade had become useless to him and thus fell into Freya (Person Name)'s hands.

Recalling the fearsome reputation of this intangible sword, Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) underwent a drastic change in expression. Ultimately, overwhelmed by profound dread, he swiftly retreated into the depths of the void.

"Guixu (Place Name), this grudge of today shall be remembered by This Emperor. We shall settle accounts another day."

At this moment, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Freya shook her head and sighed, "It's a pity my cultivation base is insufficient, allowing him to detect my presence at the critical moment. Had it been a Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator making the move, they would have surely decapitated him with a single strike of the Formless Sword."

"How am I any different?"

Yan Zi Ji also shook her head. The Violet Cosmos Severing Void Blade was itself a simplified version of a supreme Pure Yang divine power. Had it been wielded by a top-tier Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) would likely have had its physical form utterly obliterated.

Eldrin, however, smiled faintly and exhaled softly. "Regardless, after today's heavy injuries, I'm afraid the Purple Jade Demon Emperor will require at least 3 100 years of cultivation to regain its peak strength. For this, we owe you all our deepest gratitude."

"No need for formalities. We must support 1 another in the days to come."

Master Zixu said with a smile, this intervention had allowed him to repay a fraction of his debt of gratitude, and unwittingly, the bond between them had grown significantly deeper.

The group, now freed from their immediate constraints, relentlessly pursued the demonic beings. In short order, they exterminated the besieging Demon Kings and Zifu-level great demons, acquiring a considerable amount of resources in the process.

After the battle concluded, Eldrin hosted a banquet for all attendees. During the feast, he smiled and declared, "Having slain both the Purple Jade Demon Emperor and the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor, we have obtained 2 demon emperor nascent souls. I intend to commence alchemical refinement to produce 2 batches of Nascent Soul Formation Pills."

"Once it's refined, you may each take 1 if you wish."

Freya shook her head with a faint smile. "The Nascent Soul Formation Pill holds no use for me, and the Ji Clan hardly lacks such a spiritual object. You may keep this debt of gratitude for now."

Yan Ziqi and Mo the Ancient 1 also shook their heads, declining the request for the Nascent Soul Pills. Mo the Ancient 1 had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul stage himself; his own cultivation was still unstable, leaving him with neither the capacity nor a suitable candidate to nurture a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Lady Yan Zi had just assisted the Fairy Lingji in her breakthrough, leaving her with extremely scarce resources for the time being. Moreover, the Ziyuan Sect currently lacked suitable candidates for such endeavors.

However, Daoist Zixu pondered for a moment before speaking, "I owe a favor to the Liu Clan of Tianhu Zhou, and it is only fitting that I nurture a Nascent Soul cultivator for them. I shall purchase a Nascent Soul Formation Pill (Spiritual Object) from you."

Eldrin nodded without another word. For hundreds of years, the Voidless Daoist had occupied the fifth-grade terrestrial and spiritual veins of Sky Lake Island, amassing wealth that placed him among the most affluent of their circle. Acquiring a Nascent Soul Formation Pill would hardly strain his resources.

Seeing that the group refused to accept the Nascent Soul Formation Pill (Spiritual Object), Eldrin (Person Name) clasped his hands and said, "Regardless, I shall remember this debt of gratitude today. Should any of you have need in the future, I will not refuse your request."
