Chapter 714 : The Azure Abyss Forges Destiny

For the Eastern Sea Cultivation World [the vast realm of cultivators and sects in the eastern seas], this was an exceedingly rare and precious resource.

If they could seize the Blood God Sea Region [a vast, blood-tainted oceanic territory], then after fully absorbing these Spirit Island [islands rich in spiritual energy], even if the Eastern Sea Cultivation World could not recover its peak strength, it would likely grow by at least twenty to thirty percent. No wonder these individuals were stirred with excitement.

Seeing the battle fervor burning in everyone, Sage Lord Dorian smiled and waved his hand, signaling for the assembly to depart.

After the others had left, he asked Eldrin Chen and Exquisite Jiang to remain. "Your journey was long," he inquired. "Did you encounter any significant trouble along the way?"

"We faced no major obstacles," Eldrin Chen replied calmly before posing his own question. "Are there any particular points of caution for this coming battle?"

Instead of answering directly, Sage Lord Dorian asked in return, "Did you bring the Azure Abyss Sword [a legendary sword of profound power]?"

"Naturally, I carry it with me,"

Eldrin Chen affirmed with a slight nod and a smile.

Hearing this, Sage Lord Dorian allowed a faint smile to touch his lips. "Then that will suffice."

"Then my mind is at ease." This chapter is provided by AUDIO-NOVEL.COM. Support the original.

Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] nodded upon hearing this, then took his leave from Exquisite Jiang [a formidable female cultivator and his partner].

After the two had departed, Vast Sea Path Lord [a senior cultivator] frowned and said, "With the Sea Pavilion World-Suppressing Ship [a legendary vessel capable of suppressing worlds] we have borrowed this time, we possess absolute confidence in dealing with the Blood God Sea Region [a vast, blood-soaked demonic sea]. The Horizon Pavilion [a powerful human cultivation sect] is also more than sufficient to suppress the Heavenly Demon Sea Region [a sea domain ruled by powerful heavenly demons]."

"However, the stance of those five Demon Ancestor [ancient, supremely powerful demonic beings] remains unknown. Are you truly certain of complete victory?"

Upon hearing this, Dorian Ji [a senior cultivator and strategist] also furrowed his brow slightly. The power of the Demon Race [the collective term for demonic beings] within the Eastern Sea Cultivation World [the vast cultivation world centered on the Eastern Sea] was formidable indeed and not to be underestimated.

Among the Eastern Sea Demon Ancestor [the paramount demonic rulers of the Eastern Sea], there were precisely five Primordial Spirit Demon Ancestor [Demon Ancestors who have reached the Primordial Spirit cultivation realm]. They were the Black Tortoise Demon Ancestor [an ancient demonic tortoise], the Ice Hornless Dragon Demon Ancestor [a powerful ice dragon], the Soaring Serpent Demon Ancestor [a mythical winged serpent], and the two Demon Ancestor of the Golden-Winged Great Roc [a race of immense, golden-winged raptors].

Among these five Demon Ancestor, the Black Tortoise Demon Ancestor was the most powerful and the longest-lived.

This Black Tortoise Demon Ancestor was ranked among the top five figures within the Primordial Spirit [a high cultivation realm representing one's spiritual core] ranks of the Demon Race in the Purple Seal Realm [the name of the greater world they inhabit]. It was said that in its early years, it dwelled within the North Sea of Darkness [a frigid, lightless northern sea] on the Far North Icy Plains [a vast, frozen northern continent], where it was known as the North Dark Demon Ancestor.

Later, however, the Kunpeng Clan [a clan of mythical creatures, part bird and part fish] rose to power from the depths of the North Sea of Darkness. The Kunpeng Great Sage [the leader of the Kunpeng Clan] proclaimed himself the foremost Great Sage [a title for supremely powerful beings] among the Demon Race of the Purple Seal Realm, commanding the aid of several other Demon Ancestor. Naturally, the Black Tortoise Demon Ancestor was no match for such a force.

Coincidentally, at that time, the former paramount figure of the Demon Race in the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, the Eastern Barrens Azure Dragon [a powerful azure dragon demon], had been slain by Imperial Sovereign Jiang [a legendary human emperor and cultivator]. Thus, the Black Tortoise Demon Ancestor simply journeyed far to the Eastern Sea Cultivation World and seized the territory once held by the Azure Dragon Demon Ancestor.

The other Demon Ancestor were no weaklings either. The Ice Hornless Dragon Demon Ancestor possessed the bloodline of a True Dragon [the most potent and pure lineage of dragons], the Soaring Serpent was also a mythical variant species, and the two Golden-Winged Great Roc Demon Ancestor boasted exceptionally pure bloodlines. Each and every one was a formidable entity not to be trifled with.

Should these five Demon Ancestor [powerful ancient demonic beasts] take action, it would likely drastically alter the balance of this conflict.

With this thought, Dorian Ji's brow furrowed slightly in concern. After a long moment of contemplation, he spoke, "That Black Tortoise Demon Ancestor has lived for one hundred and seventy thousand years and long ago reached the Great Perfection of Infant Soul [the pinnacle stage of the Infant Soul cultivation realm].

"Over those one hundred and seventy millennia, more than a dozen beings have ascended to immortality in its presence, yet it has never been moved to act itself. It is highly probable it will not intervene this time either."

"Among the remaining four Demon Ancestor, the Soaring Serpent is the most formidable. However, I have enlisted Longgu Path Master to deal with it. As for the two Demon Emperor of the Golden-Winged Great Roc lineage, they will be handled by Elder Brother Sea Watcher from the Horizon Pavilion and the Starry River Path Lord from the Inner Sea."

Hearing this, Path Lord Langsley gave a nod of acknowledgment.

The Horizon Pavilion boasts two Path Lord [powerful cultivators who have mastered a profound Dao Path]. Besides its master, Elder Brother Sea Watcher is no easy opponent. The Starry River Path Lord, meanwhile, is the overlord of the Immortal Realm [a major cultivation region] within the Inner Sea and the patriarch of the Lin Clan.

Considering this, he asked further, "That Ice Hornless Dragon Demon Ancestor possesses a True Dragon Bloodline [the pure ancestral lineage of the primordial dragons] and has cultivated to the Primordial Spirit 4th Tier [the fourth level of the Primordial Spirit realm]. It will be a truly troublesome foe. How do you plan to contend with it?"

Unexpectedly, upon mentioning the Ice Hornless Dragon Demon Ancestor, Dorian Ji's expression turned slightly awkward.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking evasively, "Set your mind at ease. That Ice Hornless Dragon Demon Ancestor is of little concern. I have my own means to secure victory."

Vast Sea Path Lord was taken aback. He hadn't expected to be kept in the dark given their close relationship. He could only shake his head and say, "It seems you have reasons you cannot speak of."

"Very well. You have always been resourceful; I trust you have your own plans in mind."

"..."

Early the next morning, the great army advanced deep into the Blood God Sea Region.

With the Sixth Rank Primordial Solar Treasure Ship [a legendary vessel powered by the essence of the primordial sun] clearing the path, the Demonic Cultivator Spirit Island [islands imbued with concentrated spiritual energy] they passed dared not resist. In an astonishingly short time, they were eliminated one by one.

This campaign lasted a mere three years. They led their forces to conquer dozens of Fiend Race Spirit Island, finally encircling Blood God Island, one of the three great Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Land [places of immense power and danger, often sealed or guarded] within the Eastern Sea Cultivation World.

"Dorian Ji, you brat from the Surging Waves, you've done well for yourselves!" Support the author by reading on audio - novel . com.

At that moment, a cold sneer echoed from within the island.

The Blood God Patriarch appeared atop Blood God Island, his face ashen with fury.

Seeing the Patriarch emerge, before Dorian Ji could speak, the Vast Sea Path Lord sneered, "The last time we met, I told you I would return in a thousand years to claim your head. Today, this lord has arrived!"

"With just the lot of you?"

Blood God Patriarch [the leader of the Blood God Cult] revealed a cold sneer and spoke with utter disdain.

The enmity of blocking one's path to power and the hatred of seizing one's spiritual veins—even setting aside the inherent conflict between righteous and demonic factions—left no room for reconciliation. This battle was destined to be fought to its conclusion, with no possibility of peaceful negotiation.

At the command of Dorian Ji, over a hundred Treasure Ship [large, enchanted vessels used for warfare and transport] began a relentless assault on the Blood God Sea Region, ceaselessly draining the spiritual energy reserves stored within the islands.

Eldrin Chen also moved among the throng, continuously urging the two Treasure Ship belonging to his clan to bombard Blood God Island, depleting the spiritual energy saturating the island.

Yet, the power contained within a Sixth Rank Spiritual Vein [a top-tier source of ambient spiritual energy] proved truly astonishing. Even after more than ten days of sustained bombardment by over a hundred Fifth Rank Treasure Ship [powerful enchanted warships], the island's defensive barrier showed not the slightest sign of weakening.

"This Spirit Island [an island rich with spiritual energy] not only possesses a Sixth Rank Spiritual Vein, but is also a nexus of the Eastern Sea Water Primordial Ancestral Vein [the primordial water-element spiritual vein of the Eastern Sea]. If we continue attacking like this, I fear we will find it Impenetrable [utterly unassailable]."

This reality was seen even more clearly by Dorian Ji, who stood high in the void. He exchanged a nod with Vast Sea Path Lord and declared, "The time has come."

With Dorian Ji's resolve firm, he produced an ancient talisman radiating profound power and hurled it directly at Blood God Island.

As this precious talisman descended, the entire Blood God Island shook violently, mountains trembling and the earth quaking. The potency of the island's Mountain Protection Formation [a powerful defensive array] was instantly suppressed by half.

"A Sixth-Rank Superior-Grade Formation-Breaking Talisman!"

In that instant, Blood God Patriarch [the leader of the Blood God Island] paled, a flicker of panic flashing across his face.

A Sixth Rank Superior Grade Formation-Breaking Talisman [a supreme-grade talisman capable of shattering powerful defensive arrays] could only be crafted by a cultivator at the Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the advanced stage of spiritual core cultivation], and even then, it required the consumption of exceedingly rare and precious materials.

In all the world, there were likely no more than ten of such treasures in existence, their value comparable to a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a divine artifact imbued with the essence of the primordial sun]. To think Dorian Ji would use one so decisively.

The Mountain Protection Formation [the defensive energy barrier shielding the mountain] of Blood God Island was of the Sixth Rank Mid-Grade [mid-tier sixth rank]—a formidable defense. Yet, with its power halved, its efficacy was drastically weakened.

Seizing the moment, Vast Sea Path Lord struck. He channeled his power into the Slaughter [a devastating offensive technique] Formation [an energy pattern or battle array] mounted upon the Sea Pavilion World-Suppressing Ship [a colossal warship designed for siege warfare], unleashing a world-shaking blow.

The Sea Pavilion World-Suppressing Ship, a supreme weapon of war crafted for assaulting Spirit Mountain [a sacred peak imbued with potent spiritual energy], could unleash power rivaling a Primordial Spirit Late Stage cultivator when fully activated. The weakened Mountain Protection Formation of Blood God Island stood no chance.

Three consecutive, earth-shattering impacts fell. Finally, with a deafening roar, the Mountain Protection Formation of Blood God Island was violently torn asunder. This content originates from audio-novel*com. Please respect copyright.
