Chapter 726 Defeating the Enemy, Killing Another Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm)

Shortly after the first victory, Chen Ethan (Person Name), collaborating with the Green Verse Ascetic, instantly annihilated a Nascent Soul, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) demon emperor.

"Damn it!"

After just a few dozen exchanges, only 3 Demon Emperors remained under his command. The Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) could no longer sit idle.

He brandished his golden war halberd, sweeping through all foes. In an instant, his true form emerged—a pair of golden wings shuddered violently, unleashing what seemed like hundreds of millions of golden celestial blades that rained down upon his enemies like divine execution.

"Beware, it's the Golden Wing Divine Light Slash!"

Eldrin's expression tightened as he summoned the Twofold Sacred Lotus to defend.

The Golden Wing Divine Light Slash was the innate divine ability of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast). Driven by his Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) cultivation, each blade of golden-winged divine light erupted in an endless torrent—so formidable that even other Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) experts would furrow their brows at the sight.

Fortunately, the 2 Forms Treasure Lotus proved exceptionally powerful, withstanding 1 Golden Wing Divine Light Slash after another, showing not the slightest sign of being breached.

However, the Golden-Winged Divine Light Slash was incessant and relentless. Activating the 2 Polarities Treasure Lotus drained a tremendous amount of Eldrin's spiritual power. If he could not interrupt the assault, he feared he would be unable to sustain it for long.

Lyra was well aware of this. With a graceful extension of her fair hand, an ornate treasure wheel materialized in her palm, intricately carved with 9 coiling dragons.

This was none other than the 9 Dragons Wheel, an artifact Lyra had personally journeyed to Celestial Vault Isle to borrow from Seraphina Qu specifically for this battle.

As Lyra (Person Name) channeled her power, the 9 Dragons Wheel erupted with tremulous radiance, splitting into 9 coiling draconic forms that spiraled upward with overwhelming force. Defying all expectations, they surged against the Golden-Winged Divine Light Slash to strike directly at the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast).

"Hymn—"

The dragon's roar shook the heavens, carrying with it an unparalleled fury.

The dragon souls within the 9 Dragons Wheel, upon encountering the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), seemed to recognize a mortal enemy. They threw all caution to the wind, unleashing overwhelming power in a reckless assault that shattered the Golden-Winged Divine Light Slash mid-strike.

"Ah, vile dragon!"

With a furious roar, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) unleashed a dazzling golden light from its eyes, transforming into a sea of golden divine thunderbolts that converged and slashed downward.

This was yet another innate divine ability, its power having already reached the level of a quasi-Pure Yang divine art.

Watching the golden sea of lightning engulf everything and clash desperately with the 9 dragons, Eldrin felt a surge of joy in his heart and urged, "Strike now!"

In an instant, everyone sprang into action, unleashing their most formidable divine abilities reserved for critical moments.

Lyra was the first to strike, unleashing the Tri-Source Divine Light, while Eldrin summoned the Tri-Source Divine Thunder. Though their spiritual power was slightly less refined, both techniques manifested at the quasi-Yang Purification tier—formidable divine abilities of immense power.

Kael's Myriad Blossoms, All of Me unexpectedly split into hundreds of millions of phantoms, simultaneously channeling spells to continuously dismantle the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor's myriad techniques.

Although the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) possessed formidable magical power, he now found himself somewhat strained while simultaneously confronting several opponents.

Especially the presence of the 9 Dragons Wheel and the 2 Polarities Treasure Lotus gave him a sense of being unable to do anything to Eldrin (Person Name) and the other 3.

Seeing his 3 Demon Emperor subordinates already in full retreat, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) began to entertain thoughts of withdrawal. With a single beat of his majestic wings, he effortlessly evaded the coordinated assaults and sought to break through the encirclement.

At this moment, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) had exhausted all his defensive methods under the group's relentless assault, leaving him with no choice but to rely solely on his protective energy aura for defense.

In that very instant, Qing Ji unleashed her long-prepared innate divine ability.

With a wave of her hand, she cast a brilliant azure light that actually caused the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) to freeze momentarily, as if plunged into a dreamlike slumber.

This divine ability was known as the Azure Lotus Dream Tribulation Art, crafted by Qing Ji through insights gained from a 1000 cycles of reincarnation. It could instantly draw formidable foes into a dream realm.

If struck by this divine ability, the target would be drawn into a dream realm, from which they could only awaken by unraveling the illusion.

Although a Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) expert could shatter such illusions in an instant, the battlefield shifts a 1000 times in the blink of an eye—a single moment’s delay could determine victory or defeat.

"What a perfect opportunity!"

Eldrin seized the moment, unleashing his ultimate weapon against the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor—the Featherfall Divine Light Mirror.

But a beam of resplendent azure divine light shot forth from the treasure mirror, illuminating the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) at that very instant.

"Ah—"

Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) let out an utterly wretched shriek as its feathers began shedding 1 by 1 under the illumination of the Feather-Shedding Divine Light Mirror.

This Falling Feather Divine Mirror was the ultimate bane of avian demon emperors, capable of stripping them of all their plumes and inflicting unprecedented devastation.

However, with the Golden-Winged Roc's divine speed, if it had detected this treasure mirror earlier, it would have had a considerable chance to evade and likely would have fled long ago.

Therefore, Eldrin (Person Name) had not dared to summon this mirror until he seized the opportunity for a lethal strike.

At that moment, the Feather-Shedding Divine Mirror erupted with overwhelming power. In barely the span of a single breath, it stripped the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor of every last feather, leaving the creature plucked bare as a naked fowl.

As a divine bird, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) had lost over half of his supernatural powers after being stripped of his feathers.

Without giving him a chance to flee, Eldrin immediately summoned the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) and struck—cleaving his physical body in 2 on the spot.

"Whoosh—"

To everyone's surprise, the very instant the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) was about to perish, its Nascent Soul suddenly transformed into a streak of rainbow light and shot into the distance, fleeing for its life.

"Damn, it's the Golden Wings Rainbow Flight Art."

Eldrin’s heart sank. He never expected the third innate divine ability of the Golden-Winged Roc would be such a life-draining technique.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) shed his physical form. The flight speed of his Nascent Soul inherently far surpassed that of a fleshly body, let alone now that he had cultivated the Golden-Winged Rainbow Transformation Art.

Such extreme speed of heaven and earth was simply not something they could hope to match.

And if they failed to slay the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), their gains from this battle would be considered diminished by more than half.

Boom—

Yet, just as disappointment washed over the crowd, a thunderclap that blotted out the heavens erupted from the far edge of the sky.

Amidst a mass of dark clouds, a devouring force that blotted out the heavens and consumed the earth enveloped everything. It firmly seized the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast)’s Nascent Soul, slowly drawing it into the depths of the clouds.

"Ah—"

A piercing scream echoed through the air as the crowd witnessed, through the veiled clouds, a colossal mouth blotting out the sky devour the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast)'s Nascent Soul.

Eldrin took a deep breath, his gaze growing slightly solemn as he said, "Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, it has been a long time."

At that moment, the presence within the clouds revealed its true form—a colossal azure flood dragon, spanning over 30 1000 zhang in length, coiled silently between heaven and earth with claws bared and scales gleaming.

Everyone's expression shifted slightly, a trace of alarm flashing through their hearts.

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) had already grown 4 claws, its pupils resembling 2 blazing suns of azure gold. Its scales seemed forged from divine cyan metal, and the horns upon its head had begun to branch—all signs it was nearing its transformation into a true dragon.

At this moment, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) had been circling for a long while, a chilling glint shimmering in its eyes.
