Chapter 676 Breaking Through Strong Enemies, Joining Forces

After this battle was won, a faint smile graced the face of the Mysterious Void Taoist as he said to Eldrin (Person Name), "Had it not been for your assistance, we would likely still be locked in bitter combat, and many of them would have surely managed to escape."

"This is what we ought to do."

Eldrin gazed at the Mysterious Void Taoist Priest and spoke with grave intensity, "Among the 7 celestial anchor points of the Vermilion Bird Star Palace, the Zhezhi Water Island is now besieged. Of the remaining 6 islands, the crisis has been resolved for both Zhangyue Island and our Xingri Island."

"Only the demon clans in the 4 major constellation spirit islands—Winged Fire Serpent, Willow Earth Muntjac, Ghost Golden Goat, and Wellwood Antler—remain to be crushed. Then we can concentrate our forces to annihilate the demons at Chariot Water Island."

Xuanxu Daoist (Person Name) nodded and remarked, "Judging from today's battle, the forces beyond our spirit islands are merely putting up a bluff."

Upon learning of this, the Master of the Feathered Sky Pavilion had already prepared to strike down the Wellwood Wolf, while the Celestial Mystery Sect was urgently mobilizing against the formidable foe of the Ghostly Gold Ram constellation spirit isle.

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Lyra then said, "The Tianxuan Sect is the number 1 sect in the Eastern Wastelands, and Pavilion Master Feiyu is a mighty expert at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm. They will most likely be able to defeat these formidable enemies."

"In that case, our targets are the enemies in the Winged Fire Serpent and Willow Earth Deer zones."

Elder Xuanxu also nodded, his gaze shifting to Eldrin as he said, "Then let us make this swift and decisive. We shall divide our forces to aid our fellow Daoists in the 2 realms, crushing the formidable enemies entrenched around these 2 Stellar Sanctuary Spirit Islands."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. Maris the Sea Steader, the overseer of the Winged Fire Serpent region, had already departed for the Chariot Water Island, while the human forces in the Willow Earth Antelope region lacked even a Half-Step Primordial Spirit to hold the fort. These 2 fronts truly required their support to ensure total victory.

At this thought, Eldrin said, "I shall immediately reinforce the Isle of Winged Fire. May I trouble you to head to the Isle of Willow Earth? Once this great battle concludes, we shall regroup our forces."

"Very well."

Elder Xuanxu nodded, agreeing to Eldrin's (Person Name) proposal.

Considering that speed is crucial in war, the group pressed on toward Emberwing Island without stopping to rest, lest the demons and monsters have time to regroup.

Before long, they arrived at the Winged Fire Island territory. The demonic forces stationed here were merely putting up a bluff—only 4 demonic ships in total patrolled the waters.

As soon as Eldrin (Person Name) and his companions arrived, they completely shattered the demon forces. Among the demons aboard the 7 demonic vessels—including 9 True Monarchs of the demon race—not a single 1 managed to escape.

After vanquishing the demonic forces on Wingfire Island, Eldrin soon received glad tidings: Elder Xuanxu and his contingent had arrived at Willowearth Island and, through coordinated maneuvers from within and without, routed the demonic army.

Meanwhile, the Featherflight Pavilion in the Well Domain also achieved a great victory against formidable foes. The Pavilion Master single-handedly slew 13 Nascent Soul demonic cultivators, among them 3 were late Nascent Soul mighty demons.

Upon receiving the news, everyone’s faces lit up with joy. Chen Changxuan stroked his beard with a smile and remarked, “In this battle, we have crushed formidable foes 1 after another, achieving unprecedented glory. Eldrin (Person Name) deserves the foremost credit.”

"Yes, yes."

The Heavenrend Sect Master also wore a faint smile as he chimed in from the side.

However, Eldrin furrowed his brow and immediately asked, "Any news from the Ghost Gold Ram region?"

"Not yet." Lior was momentarily stunned before replying hesitantly, "The Ghost Gold Ram territory is presided over by the Tianxuan Sect. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Eldrin's expression shifted abruptly, and he hastily urged in a low voice, "Notify Elder Xuanxu and the others, then proceed at full speed to the Ghost Gold Goat Star Archipelago."

Without pausing to rest this time, the treasure ship raced frantically toward the Ghost Gold Ram zone. When they were halfway through their journey, Lior (Person Name) came panting over to find the group, his expression grave as he said.

"Latest battle report: Not long ago, the Heavenly Profound Sect launched an assault on the demonic race with 30-some treasure ships."

"Little did they expect the demonic tribe to be so formidable, possessing a Flame Demon at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) level. To their astonishment, they were utterly defeated and forced to retreat."

Hearing this, everyone hastily took the message talismans. After a quick glance, their expressions shifted dramatically.

It turned out that as the number 1 immortal clan of Eastern Wastelands (Location), the Tianxuan Sect had long forged an irreconcilable feud with the extraterrestrial demon tribes, among which the Flame Demons were their deadliest enemies.

Now that the Heavenly Profound Sect no longer had a Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) powerhouse overseeing it, the Flame Demon Clan immediately began to harbor ambitions.

For this battle, the Eldrin tribe dispatched a full 40-7 members, with the strongest among them having reached the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm).

Such a powerful Flame Demon launched a surprise attack personally, and within just a few exchanges, beheaded the new sect leader of the Tianxuan Sect—Sect Leader Hong. This directly triggered the great collapse of the Tianxuan Sect.

After the great war concluded, the Heavenly Profound Sect had lost over 20-some True Lords in battle, with countless low-ranking cultivators among the casualties. Only 13 True Lords managed to retreat back to the Spirit Island.

This crushing defeat truly shocked everyone, and all the True Monarchs couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Eldrin.

The Sect Master of Tianlu couldn't help but speak up, "Eldrin (Person Name), we implore you to make a decision."

Eldrin did not answer immediately, instead asking Lior, "Where have the forces from the other domains arrived?"

"They are already gathering in the Ghost Gold Ram region."

Lior began to trace a map with his magic power, manifesting the military forces of the surrounding human clans.

Thanks to Eldrin's earlier message, it was now known that the Mysterious Void True Monarch would arrive in the Ghost Gold Ram region in 2 days, while the Featherflight Pavilion envoys were still 3 days away.

After a moment of observation, Eldrin let out a relieved sigh and declared, "Everyone, with our 30-7 treasure ships and 70-3 True Monarchs, there is no need to fear this Flame Demon clan."

"Once we join forces with Elder Xuanxu and the others, it will be enough to completely annihilate the demon race within the Ghost Gold Ram region."

As Eldrin recounted the tale in measured tones, the crowd finally felt their hearts settle somewhat.

The forces of Starfire Isle had now joined with those of Blazewing Isle, boasting as many as 8 late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and an army numbering in the tens of millions.

As long as this power remained united, even the Flame Demon Clan—possessors of Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm)—would be powerless against them.

Once Eldrin (Person Name) and the Featherborn Pavilion Master (Person Name), both at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm), arrive with their forces, the 5 major Stellar Array strongholds of the human alliance will converge. This convergence may ultimately allow them to annihilate the Inferno Fiend race within the Ghost Gold Ram (Astral Zone) region.

After explaining the situation, Eldrin said, "Inform the master of Feiyu Pavilion and the Mysterious Void Taoist. Request them to rendezvous with us beyond Ghost Gold Island."

Boom—

Beyond Ghost Gold Island, demonic treasure ships continuously bombarded the Astral Formation, erupting in violent collisions.

On the demonic vessel, the Lord of the Eldrin stood with his hands clasped behind his back, silently observing the scene, his gaze exuding a profound depth.

Patriarch.

Just then, a Flame Demon True Monarch approached and whispered, "Now that the 6-Winged Demon Race and several other demonic factions have been annihilated, I fear the human army is already advancing toward us. Isn't it too risky for us to remain here any longer?"

"Hexawing Demon Lord, that useless waste."

The Lord of the Infernal Demon's gaze was icy as he murmured thoughtfully, "If we can breach this formation's core, the power of the Vermilion Bird Star Spirit will be diminished by 1-seventh. This battle concerns our Demon Saint and the Human Race's Primordial Spirit."

"Now that the Heavenly Mystery Sect has lost more than half its forces, this is the perfect opportunity to breach Ghost Gold Island. How can we simply abandon it?"

The Infernal Fiendlord nearby dared not press further upon hearing this, and could only order his subordinates to intensify their assault on the formation.
