Chapter 731 : Anchoring the Continent's Fate

A month's time passed in the blink of an eye, and the day to establish the great continent finally arrived.

Eldrin Chen and the other Nascent Soul cultivators gathered on the Azure Lotus Continent, their expressions slightly grave as they gazed upon the Continent-Stele before them.

Beside them, Kael Chen glanced at the assembled group and then spoke to Eldrin Chen with a serious face: "The stabilizing treasures for each region have been placed. All that remains is to set the Continent-Stele to anchor the fortune of the Myriad Ruins Continent."

"Then let us begin."

With Eldrin Chen's words, he personally joined the others in activating the Formation, guiding the descent of the massive Continent-Stele.

As the Continent-Stele settled into place, Eldrin Chen did not relax. Instead, a look of deep concern etched his features.

For after the stele's placement, the hundreds of millions of the Human Race upon the Myriad Ruins Continent would need to offer incense and prayers for seven full years. Only then would the continent's fortune be truly and completely anchored.

After those seven years, when the Continent-Stele became inextricably linked with the fortune of the Myriad Ruins Continent, it would not only stabilize the destiny of its Human Race inhabitants but also suppress natural disasters and calamities, reducing their likelihood of occurrence. Only at that point could the Myriad Ruins Continent truly be said to have been successfully established as a continent.

And during this critical period, it was unlikely the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor would stand idly by and allow them to complete this final step.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen clasped his hands towards Nine Rivers Daoist and said, "By my reckoning, the Demonic Monsters should already be making their move." Your portal to cultivation novels: audio~novel.com.

"I would like to trouble Ronan and a few other Fellow Daoist to make a trip to Divine Bird Peak and hold off the Primordial Savage Bull and the other Demonic Tribe for us."

"Very well, leave this matter to us."

Nine Rivers Daoist cupped his hands in salute, then departed for Divine Bird Peak via a Teleportation Formation.

Watching him leave, Eldrin Chen felt a slight sense of relief. Besides Nine Rivers Daoist, several other cultivators at the Nascent Soul, Early Stage had gone to Divine Bird Peak. Holding back the Primordial Savage Bull and a few other Demonic Tribe should not be a problem for them.

For their side, the most troublesome opponent remained the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.

Not long after the group from the Azure Lotus Continent had descended upon the Continent-Stele, several sky-obscuring figures emerged from the distant void, striding through the air.

Over a dozen Demon Emperor had arrived. Leading them, besides the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, were the Purple Jade Demon Emperor, the Gold and Silver Twin Emperors, and the Black Crocodile Demon Emperor—four beings at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor soared upward, a cold glint flashing in its pupils as it spoke, "Abyssal Daoist, you are merely at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage, yet you dare to block this Emperor's path to establishing a continent within my domain? You truly have no regard for your own life."

"So be it. This Emperor shall seize this opportunity to reclaim the old lands."

Eldrin Chen offered no rebuttal, his expression merely growing grave as he surveyed the assembled foes.

Seeing that everyone seemed somewhat apprehensive of the formidable reputation of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before speaking. "The three of us will hold off the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor. The rest of you, deal with the remaining Nascent Soul Demon Emperor."

"Agreed."

The others nodded in quick succession and seized the moment to launch their attacks.

Battle erupted instantly. Eldrin Chen, Lyra Jiang, and Verdant Consort moved as one, summoning their Immortal Sword and directing a fierce assault towards the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.

Meanwhile, Lilith, Mistress of Desire, whose Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by practitioners] was immensely powerful, engaged the Purple Jade Demon Emperor, who was also at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm. Lyra Jiang's Second Primordial Embryo [a powerful spiritual avatar or clone] stepped forward alone to intercept the Black Crocodile Demon Emperor.

As for the remaining Gold and Silver Twin Emperors, though they had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, their Mana resonated with perfect synergy. Fighting in tandem, their combined combat power approached that of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm.

Fortunately, among their ranks were several Heaven's Chosen [individuals blessed with exceptional talent and destiny]. Kael Chen possessed strength not inferior to a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator. Zixu the Daoist, Lila, and Yvonne the Violet Consort were all Heaven's Chosen who had formed Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul [a Nascent Soul of supreme quality, aligned with the Heavenly Dao].

Among them, Yvonne the Violet Consort, blessed with a Heavenly Spiritual Root [a pinnacle-grade innate talent for cultivation], had progressed with astonishing speed. Her cultivation had already reached the formidable Nascent Soul, 6th Tier tier, and her Mana was nearly on par with the Nascent Soul, 7th Tier. Her only relative weakness lay in her Single Spiritual Root [a spiritual root attuned to a single element, limiting versatility] and a Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact bound to one's life and soul, growing in power with the user] that was slightly less refined.

All four wielded Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure [high-tier enchanted artifacts], making their combined force truly formidable. Working together, they managed to successfully hold the line against the Gold and Silver Twin Emperors.

Returning to Eldrin Chen and his two companions, locked in their solitary struggle against the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor: each possessed a foundation worthy of the Great Luo Nascent Soul [a legendary, near-perfect grade of Nascent Soul]. Their reservoirs of Mana were profoundly deep and potent. Augmented by their Secret Power [esoteric energies or techniques unlocked through profound cultivation], the very quality of their spiritual energy surpassed even that of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.

Such astonishing foundational strength, coupled with their formidable array of Spiritual Treasure and Divine Ability [supernatural powers], rendered the trio exceptionally powerful. They had already exchanged over thirty blows, yet victory remained elusive.

"Damnation!"

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor [a powerful dragon demon] was incensed. He could scarcely believe that his own Half-Step Primordial Spirit [a realm just below the Primordial Spirit stage] combat prowess was insufficient to subdue a mere three Nascent Soul, Mid Stage [mid-stage Nascent Soul realm] cultivators. This defied all logic.

In his fury, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor unleashed a single Azure Heaven-Slicer [a legendary blade], aiming a devastating cleaving strike directly at Eldrin Chen.

"Beware!"

Verdant Consort cried out a warning and swiftly summoned her Golden Glazed Armor [a defensive treasure], intercepting the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's assault. Visit audio-novel .c om to enjoy the complete series.

That Azure Heaven-Slicer was the demon emperor's Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a treasure bonded to one's life essence], forged from Vast Sea Azure Gold [a rare mystical metal]. Its grade had reached the Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a treasure approaching the Pure Yang level] realm, truly qualifying it as a peerless weapon of slaughter.

Fortunately, the Golden Glazed Armor was specifically designed to defend against Immortal Sword [divine blades] and divine sabers. Its grade was also at the Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure level, so it held firm against the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's onslaught.

Seeing his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure prove ineffective, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes. A piercing azure radiance erupted from his pupils, lancing once more toward Eldrin Chen.

This Divine Ability was named 'Azure Flood Dragon Demon Eye' [a devastating eye-based technique], the Lifebound Divine Ability [an innate supernatural power] of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor lineage. Legend held that should the demon emperor ever ascend to become a true dragon, this ability would evolve into the fabled 'Azure Dragon Divine Eye' [the ultimate draconic gaze].

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's bloodline was on the verge of transforming into a true dragon, and its execution of this Lifebound Divine Ability grew ever more formidable. Even the Golden Glazed Armor was beginning to falter under its might.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen had anticipated this. He immediately summoned the Dual Polarity Treasure Lotus, unfurling the Yin-Yang Dual Extremities Aegis to shield his companions.

The Dual Polarity Treasure Lotus possessed exceptional defensive prowess against spells and Divine Ability [supernatural techniques]. Even the potent Great Divine Ability [a supreme-grade supernatural technique] known as Azure Flood Dragon Demon Eye could not breach its defense, its power being forcefully repelled.

Enraged by its failure to subdue the duo twice, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor unleashed its Lifebound Divine Ability, 'True Dragon Devours Heaven Art'.

This True Dragon Devours Heaven Art was a legacy from the Black Dragon Demon Progenitor, a genuine Supreme Pure Yang Divine Ability [a divine ability of the highest Yang purity]. The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor had only mastered a simplified version, yet it held the terrifying power to devour heaven and earth, its maw seeming capable of swallowing the mountains and rivers for thousands of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] around.

Thankfully, the group was intimately familiar with the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's capabilities. Lyra Jiang promptly activated the Earth-Fortress Earth Origin Disk, using its formation patterns to stabilize the heavens, earth, and mountains.

Eldrin Chen also acted, channeling the Yin-Yang Void Realm to anchor the surrounding void.

The combined force of two superior-grade Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a cultivator's soul-bound enchanted artifact] managed to counteract the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's True Dragon Devours Heaven Art, rendering the beast's ultimate technique useless against them.

With the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's trump card neutralized, the cultivators launched their counterattack. They summoned their own Lifebound Spiritual Treasure—the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords, the Six Realms and Eight Desolations Cauldron, the Green Lotus Cleansing Dust Scroll—and clashed fiercely with the demon emperor.

They exchanged over a hundred blows without a decisive outcome. Finally, a subtle shift occurred on the battlefield.

While the Black Crocodile Demon Emperor was engaged in a fierce magical duel with Lyra Jiang's Second Primordial Embryo, having deployed his Body-Protecting Golden Bell, he was caught completely off guard. Ethan Chen seized this moment to launch a treacherous assault with the 'Western Pole Magnetic Essence Peak', which forcibly siphoned away this crucial Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact bound to its owner's life force].

Staggered and vulnerable from this sudden loss, the Black Crocodile Demon Emperor found his very soul ensnared by the Thousand-Demon Slaying Sword wielded by Ethan Chen. Before he could muster a defense, a single, devastating sword stroke cleaved through him, inflicting wounds of a severity he had never before endured.
