Chapter 679 : Clan Treasures Against the Adamantine Demon

"Our Nie Clan's Clan-Suppressing Supreme Treasure, the 'Western Pole Magnetic Essence Peak', was forged from the quintessential essence of the Western Pole's magnetic force. It possesses significant restraining power against this Adamantine Demon God [a demonic entity with a body as hard as adamantine] and may be able to contribute a measure of strength."

Seeing that the Adamantine Demon God had a weakness, a Nascent Soul Cultivator [a cultivator who has formed a spiritual infant within their dantian] soon spoke up.

The one who spoke was an Nascent Soul, Early Stage cultivator, none other than Patriarch Nie from the Wine Spring Domain. This lineage had once been illustrious in the past. The Clan-Suppressing Supreme Treasure 'Western Pole Magnetic Essence Peak' they passed down was a Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier magical treasure], though now only Patriarch Nie, a single True Lord [an honorific title for a Nascent Soul cultivator], remained.

Following the Nie Clan's Clan Lord's words, another man, dressed in White Robe with delicate, almost feminine features, spoke: "My Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power cultivated by immortals], the Great Five Elements Yin-Yang Magnetic Cosmic Starlight Annihilation Divine Saber [a supreme divine ability that harnesses the powers of the five elements, yin-yang polarity, cosmic magnetism, and starlight to annihilate all things], should also hold some restraining power against that Adamantine Demon God."

Eldrin Chen's brow twitched slightly as he recognized this man's origins.

This man was named Lucian Ji. His cultivation was as high as the sixth layer of Nascent Soul, and he was a peerless genius who had forged a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul [a Nascent Soul formed in resonance with the Heavenly Dao, granting superior potential] over a thousand years ago.

That Great Five Elements Yin-Yang Magnetic Cosmic Starlight Annihilation Divine Saber was even more extraordinary. It ranked among the top three offensive Divine Ability in the Eastern Wastelands, merely A Step Away from becoming a Pure Yang Divine Ability [a divine ability imbued with the pure, untainted power of Yang].

That Lucian Ji had cultivated it to the Great Perfection Realm [the highest level of mastery for a technique or cultivation stage]. His offensive prowess was now nearly on par with a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator, even more terrifying than some Sword Cultivator True Lord.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "With the aid of Patriarch Nie and Fellow Daoist Lucian, we are certain to utterly annihilate that Adamantine Demon God."

After finalizing their plans, Eldrin Chen ordered the army to rest for the night. At dawn the next day, they launched their assault against the demonic horde. Access the full story on audio_novel.com.

Beyond the shores of Water Chariot Island, the armies of the Demon Venerable [a supreme commander of demonic forces] had encircled the island, creating a tense standoff.

A figure of tall and slender stature, with horns upon his head and dark, fathomless eyes, sat in serene stillness upon a Treasure Ship [a vessel imbued with magical properties], his gaze fixed silently upon the Water Chariot Island before him.

"Your Highness, the Human Race forces are advancing upon us."

At that very moment, a voice tinged with panic reached his ears.

A Nascent Soul [the stage where a cultivator's soul forms an independent infant-like entity] Demon Monarch [a monarch among demonic cultivators] appeared, his face pale with alarm, his expression grave as he looked toward the youth seated above.

"Why this panic?"

Upon the Treasure Ship, the dark-eyed youth was none other than the Garuda Demon Monarch [a monarch of the Garuda, a race of powerful bird-like demons].

He cast a cool glance at the figure below; his obsidian eyes were like twin abysses, a gaze that sent shivers down the spine of the Nascent Soul demon.

Before the other could utter another word, the Garuda Demon Monarch spoke, a faint, predatory smile curling at the corner of his lips. "I have waited for them a long time. At last, we can lure those two out into the open."

"Tell me," he mused, his voice a low murmur, "if this battle allows us to slay those two future Human Race Primordial Spirit [the highest spiritual core of a cultivator, transcending the Nascent Soul]—Harlan Jiang and Maris—how do you suppose my father, the Demon Sovereign, and the great Demon God [a deity-like entity of immense demonic power] will reward me?"

"BOOM—"

Beyond Water Chariot Island, a great battle was poised to erupt.

Over one hundred Treasure Ship [enchanted vessels used for transport and warfare] collided with the demonic fleet in a thunderous crash, igniting a full-scale war.

Seeing this, Magnus the Virtuous and Maris the Sea Steader immediately led their forces to encircle the Garuda Demon Monarch, aiming to contain and slay this formidable foe.

Eldrin Chen cast a glance at his companions and declared, "Proceed as planned."

"Activate the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Suppressing Grand Formation!"

In an instant, under the direction of a Fifth Rank High Grade Formation Master [a master of setting up magical arrays], the combined power of millions of cultivators coalesced to deploy the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Suppressing Grand Formation [a vast, legendary array designed to trap and subdue demonic forces], ensnaring the two Half-Step Primordial Spirit Demonic Cultivator.

At that moment, Xuanxu the Daoist and the Feathered Pavilion Master soared forth to join the assault on the Garuda Demon Monarch.

"Hmm—"

Seeing four opponents simultaneously emerge to besiege him, the Garuda Demon Monarch narrowed his obsidian eyes, realizing their true objective for this battle was his own encirclement and execution.

Yet, he remained supremely confident. Even while simultaneously facing the siege of four formidable foes, he showed not a trace of fear. With a mere lift of his hand, he unleashed a divine thunderbolt that crashed towards the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Suppressing Grand Formation [a grand defensive formation powered by the combined might of countless cultivators], aiming to rescue the two Half-Step Primordial Spirit [cultivators who have partially transcended the Nascent Soul realm, touching the threshold of the Primordial Spirit] Demonic Cultivator [practitioners who cultivate using demonic or unorthodox methods, often drawing power from malevolent sources].

"Profound Yin Formation-Breaking Divine Thunder [a divine thunder technique specifically designed to unravel and shatter defensive formations]!"

The moment he saw that divine thunder, Eldrin Chen's heart sank. He knew instantly that the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Suppressing Grand Formation would not hold.

This Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Suppressing Grand Formation drew upon the combined power of millions of cultivators, with Golden Core [the third major stage of cultivation, where spiritual energy condenses into a solid golden core] and even Nascent Soul Realm [the fourth major stage, where the cultivator's spirit forms a nascent infant-like soul] experts presiding over its nodes. Even a Half-Step Primordial Spirit powerhouse would need a moment to breach it.

But this Profound Yin Formation-Breaking Divine Thunder was specifically designed to counter Formation [structured arrays that channel energy for defense, attack, or other effects]. It was a weapon meticulously forged by a Primordial Spirit [the fifth major cultivation stage, where the soul evolves into a primordial, near-immortal spirit] Demonic Cultivator precisely to deal with the Human Race's Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Suppressing Grand Formation.

As thunderous light erupted, the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Suppressing Grand Formation, which Eldrin Chen had prepared for so long, was shattered in a single clash. This outcome far exceeded Eldrin Chen's expectations. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio—novel.com.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen had a secondary plan. He immediately shouted, "Now! Attack!"

As his words fell, he charged directly towards the Adamantine Demon God [a powerful demonic entity of immense physical strength and resilience]. The remaining five Nascent Soul powerhouses—Nine Rivers Daoist, Tianlu Sect Master, and the others—surrounded the other Primordial Spirit Demonic Cultivator.

Joining Eldrin Chen in the assault on the Adamantine Demon God were Patriarch Nie and Lucian Ji. Lyra Jiang, concerned for Eldrin Chen's safety, also joined the attack.

The moment they engaged, Eldrin Chen summoned forth the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a mystical treasure capable of manipulating the fundamental forces of Yin and Yang]. It transformed into Yin-Yang Polar Light [a radiant energy field embodying the duality of creation and destruction], enveloping the Adamantine Demon God within its grasp.

"This is bad."

The Adamantine Demon God, as a Half-Step Primordial Spirit [a realm just below the Primordial Spirit stage] powerhouse, understood in an instant that his opponents had come prepared.

As soon as the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a magical treasure that manipulates the forces of Yin and Yang to create a spatial domain] shone upon him, he felt as if a weight of a thousand Jin-weight [one Jin-weight equals zero point five kilograms] pressed down on his body, making even the circulation of his Mana [the refined spiritual energy used by cultivators to power their arts] excruciatingly difficult.

In this critical moment, the Adamantine Demon God forcibly channeled his Mana and summoned a resplendent ancient bell, hurling it directly at Eldrin Chen.

This ancient bell was the Demon God Heaven-Suppressing Bell, the Adamantine Demon God's Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure intimately connected to a cultivator's life force and cultivation base]. Its grade had already reached the level of a Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a treasure approaching the supreme Pure Yang grade].

Forged from Myriad Jun Divine Metal [a legendary, incredibly dense and heavy divine metal], its weight was virtually immeasurable. A direct hit would likely be more than even Eldrin Chen could withstand.

Fortunately, Patriarch Nie seized the opportunity. He activated his Clan-Suppressing Supreme Treasure, the Western Pole Magnetic Essence Peak [a supreme treasure that manipulates magnetic forces]. Taking advantage of the Adamantine Demon God's impaired Mana flow, the magnetic peak latched onto and firmly held the Demon God Heaven-Suppressing Bell.

"Ah, my treasure!"

Seeing his Lifebound Demonic Treasure [a demonic cultivator's version of a lifebound treasure] in peril, the Adamantine Demon God was shocked into action. He immediately unleashed a barrage of other Spiritual Treasures and Divine Abilitys [powerful supernatural techniques] against Patriarch Nie, desperate to reclaim this cornerstone of his power.

The others naturally would not let him succeed. Lyra Jiang promptly channeled her Six Realms and Eight Desolations Cauldron and Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword, along with several other Superior Grade Spiritual Treasures, forming an impenetrable defense against his frenzied assault.

"Cleave!"

Seizing this opportunity, Eldrin Chen unleashed the combined might of the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords and followed with his trump cards like the Triad Divine Thunder to assail the Adamantine Demon God.

Yet the outcome defied Eldrin Chen's expectations. The defensive power of the Adamantine Demon God was truly peerless under heaven. Even the combined strike of Eldrin Chen's Heavenly Separated Twin Swords merely inflicted superficial wounds upon it.

"Damnation, how can its physical form be so formidable?"

Eldrin Chen's countenance shifted abruptly, a flicker of dismay crossing his features.

His full-powered combined Heavenly Separated Twin Swords strike possessed force comparable to a full-strength blow from a Nascent Soul Great Perfection expert. He had believed it sufficient to severely wound or even slay the Adamantine Demon God, never imagining it would only cause minor harm. This result was a profound shock.

Moreover, this Adamantine Demon God, born from demonic metal, possessed a physical form nearly indestructible and imperishable. Even the Heavenly Flame Power [a divine flame of supreme yang purity] would find it difficult to refine and dissolve such an entity.

"A pity my Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and stored within a practitioner] is insufficient."

Eldrin Chen gritted his teeth, his expression turning grave. Had he possessed the Mana reserves of a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, he might have been able to refine his foe using Celestial Fire Mana [a cultivation art that channels celestial fire energy]. However, the Mana of a Nascent Soul, 4th Tier cultivator was ultimately still too meager.

Just as he contemplated whether to activate the Green Abyss Sword, Lucian Ji finally seized the moment to strike. Experience the full epic at audi novel.com.
