Chapter 636 Mythical Aberration, 7-colored Immortal Clam
"Damn it!"
3 fiendish demons roared in fury, swiftly deploying their defensive measures to block the assault.
Yet the other party had clearly come fully prepared. The moment they struck, they detonated the Dragon Palace ruins. Even the vast Dragon Palace itself was utterly blown apart, and the surrounding 1000-mile radius was instantly shredded into fragments by countless array patterns.
The 3 fiends caught within the maelstrom suffered immensely, sustaining unprecedented injuries on the spot.
"As expected, it's a trap!"
Eldrin's gaze sharpened, his expression turning solemn as he stared into the depths of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool.
There, from within the boundless abyssal pool, a majestic presence emerged, eclipsing the very heavens as it approached—a resplendent spirit mollusk radiating iridescent splendor.
That is... the 7-Colored Immortal Clam!
Lyra's eyes flickered with a trace of astonishment, her expression growing solemn.
The 7-Glimmer Immortal Clam is a celestial breed of the Spirit Clam lineage, its bloodline no less noble than mythical divine beasts such as the True Dragon, the Primordial Ice Silkworm, or the Azure Simurgh of the 9 Heavens.
This Lustrous Immortal Clam before him had actually reached the Great Perfection stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the combat prowess it displayed was likely far superior to that of an ordinary Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator.
To the celestial melody, the 7-colored immortal shell transformed into a peerless beauty draped in iridescent robes, stepping gracefully through the air as she approached.
A glimmer of 7-colored immortal light shimmered in her eyes as she cast an indifferent gaze upon the 3 severely wounded demonic creatures. Then, turning to Eldrin and the others, she spoke calmly, "Our Spirit Clam clan has always lived in seclusion from worldly conflicts."
"I bear no grudge against any of you, so why must you trouble me?"
Upon hearing this, Eldrin and the others felt their hearts sink slightly.
The Spirit Clam Clan was known for their gentle nature, yet their entire lineage was a trove of treasures. Their flesh could fortify the physical body, their pearls enhanced cultivation, and their shells were precious materials for forging magical artifacts.
Thus, all major immortal clans and demon tribes would farm spirit mussels. The Chen Family had also cultivated numerous spirit mussels in various spiritual lakes. Moreover, this lineage generally did not develop sentience, making them quite manageable to raise.
Who would have thought that a Fifth-Order Spirit Clam would emerge from this 9 Dragon Lake? 1 must know that spirit clams of this rank are exceedingly rare.
Throughout the entire Eastern Wastelands (Location), only the Eternal River Holy Land, the Crocodile Ancestor, and the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor have managed to breed a small number of them.
Not to mention, the 7 Glow Immortal Clam before their eyes was a mythical immortal species. Once fully grown, it might very well rival the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor and that overlord of the Far North Ice Plains—the Primeval Ice Silkworm.
Eldrin’s eyes flickered subtly as he secretly transmitted his voice to Lyra: “Among the water veins of every major immortal clan and demon tribe, the Spirit Clam Clan is often bred in captivity. This Rainbow Immortal Clam must be a variant descended from the spirit clams once raised in the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool.”
"Yet none could have foreseen that her bloodline would mutate, transforming her into a Mythical Immortal Seed."
Lyra also nodded upon hearing this and remarked nonchalantly, "No wonder there are no flood dragons left in the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool now, not even a single ferocious demon beast. It seems they’ve all been eradicated by this 7-Colored Immortal Pearl Clam."
Hearing this, the others felt a subtle shift in their hearts. Though the Immortal Shell Clan was known for their gentle nature, once they gained sentience, they were by no means easy prey.
Once treated as mere delicacies by the Eldrin race, the spirit clam lineage now seized their long-awaited opportunity to rise, showing no mercy toward their former oppressors in return.
This Radiant Immortal Clam possessed immense power, yet it had remained hidden at the bottom of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) for thousands of years, living in seclusion from worldly conflicts. Little did it expect to be discovered today by the 3 races of humans, demons, and monsters.
The Black Blood Demon, gravely wounded, cast a wary yet covetous gaze at the Rainbow Abalone. "Legend has it that the Life-Entwining Pearl of the Rainbow Abalone is a treasure even the 9-Heaven Immortals would deem exceedingly rare," he rasped, greed flickering in his eyes.
"Though she has only reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, her flesh and blood are immensely nourishing to this old man. Her Life-Bound Pearl Shell is likely no less valuable than a Soul-Transformation Pill, and her Rainbow Pearl Shell is also a supreme treasure."
At this point, he turned to Eldrin and the others, saying, "Why don't we join forces to eliminate her first, then decide how to distribute the treasures?"
Hearing this, everyone felt a stir of desire. The Life Pearl of the 7 Glow Immortal Clam held immense value even for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage—a truly peerless treasure that none could resist coveting.
The 7-Glow Immortal Clam’s eyes turned icy as it raised a hand, unleashing a cascade of 7-colored immortal light that shot directly toward the Blackblood Old Demon.
"It is the 7-colored immortal light."
Eldrin’s gaze sharpened. This 7-colored immortal light was the innate divine ability of the 7-Colored Immortal Clam race, no less formidable than the supreme art of the Primordial Ice Silkworm, "Frozen Wasteland of 10 1000 Miles," and nearly on par with the True Dragon’s Heaven-Devouring Technique.
For its prototype was a supreme seventh-rank celestial art of the Great Dao. Though the Rainbow-Shelled Immortal’s cultivation was insufficient to fully command it, unleashing but a wisp of its superficial power, it could already be deemed a quasi-Pure Yang divine ability—a force that shook the heavens and earth.
At the critical moment of life and death, the Old Monster of Black Blood deployed a Black Blood Demon Shield. Yet today, it still proved no match for the 7-colored Immortal Light, shattering in an instant.
That divine 7-colored immortal light was incredibly miraculous, actually severing a section of Darkblood Elder Demon's arm on the spot.
"Ah—"
The Elder of Black Blood let out a miserable shriek, his face twisting with unparalleled terror as he hastily retreated a considerable distance.
With a single move defeating the Blackblood Elder Demon, the Lustrous Immortal Abalone paused briefly before turning to Eldrin and the others. "I've heard your human righteous cultivators stand diametrically opposed to demons and monsters," it remarked. "Surely you wouldn't consider joining forces with these fiends?"
At this point, her voice paused ever so slightly as she continued, "This humble 1 has no wish to provoke formidable foes. Should you choose to withdraw today, I would gladly offer generous gifts in return."
"This..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted, revealing a hint of hesitation.
To be fair, they naturally had no desire to collaborate with demons and monsters. In contrast, the Spirit Tribe and humanity weren't mortal enemies, and this Eldrin race clearly didn't seem like 1 to be trifled with.
Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) transmitted her voice to the group, "This Rainbow Divine Clam possesses extraordinary bloodline power—I fear it rivals the most elite Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivators. Even 2 ordinary Great Perfection Nascent Soul experts might not be her match. Joining forces may still not guarantee our victory against her."
"If she is willing to offer precious treasures, then we might consider negotiating with her."
Eldrin pondered for a moment before adding, "The spirit pearls of the Spirit Clam Clan are supreme treasures for cultivation. If she is willing to offer some Grade 5 spirit pearls, then we might have something to discuss."
The group quickly reached a consensus, and Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) spoke up, "We are naturally willing to negotiate peace, but you must first demonstrate your sincerity."
"Very well…"
The 7-Glow Immortal Shell nodded, then made to retrieve an artifact.
"Sister, wait."
However, at that very moment, several women approached.
These women were actually spirit shells with cultivation as high as the Nascent Soul Realm. Their gazes swept over the crowd, vigilance etched on their faces as they cautioned, "Sister, the human race is cunning. We must not trust them lightly."
"And even if they retreat today, there's no guarantee they won't invite others to attack again in the future."
Pili Zi burst into laughter at the sight. "Your Spirit Clam Clan is a living treasury—every part of you is a treasure. To humans, the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) is nothing less than a vault of wonders."
"Especially you, 7 Glow Immortal Shell. If word gets out, even a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord would be moved to eliminate you in your cradle. How can you still hope to cooperate with the human race?"
