Chapter 758 The End of a Ruthless Leader

After the addition of 3 new True Lords, combined with the 8 True Lords the clan had previously, the Chen Family now boasted as many as 11 True Lords bearing the Chen surname alone.

With Eldrin's (Person Name) dao companion and the disciples from both sides included, the number of Nascent Soul True Lords had reached nearly 20.

The Chen Clan’s late-stage Nascent Soul elder already had 4 dao companions, including Eldrin. With the addition of Kael, that made a full 5.

This greatly boosted Eldrin's confidence in the upcoming battle, solidifying his resolve to completely annihilate the Fang Clan in a single confrontation.

He glanced at the assembly, briefed them on the situation, then turned to Chen Ethan beside him and asked, "All these years I've tasked you with collecting the cursed artifacts of True Monarch Fang—how goes the preparation?"

"We have already collected the belongings and records of the Fang Clan's 13 True Monarchs. However, that Fang Xuan has concealed himself too thoroughly—we still haven't located his personal effects or intimate possessions."

Chen Ethan replied as he handed a storage ring to Eldrin.

As early as several 100 years ago, after the Chen family's feud with the Fang family began, Eldrin had already ordered his clan to collect materials related to True Monarch Fang—including his birth characters, personal belongings, essence blood, and full name.

Now, after several 100 years had passed, although the Chen family had not managed to collect all 20-8 of the Fang family's True Lord records, they had gathered information on nearly half of them.

Eldrin opened it to find that among these 13 documents and items, most were merely personal belongings and basic records once used by True Monarch Fang—insufficient to curse him to death through esoteric means.

With only 2 drops of True Monarch's essence blood and 1 set of birth characters, they could bring about a fatal crisis for the other party.

Nevertheless, with these treasures in hand, Eldrin could ensure the Fang Clan would suffer heavy losses even before the war began.

Setting down the item in his hand, Eldrin spoke gravely, "Make the preparations. For this battle, 4 True Monarchs shall remain to guard the family. All others will join the fray."

"As you command."

The True Lords present hastily nodded, their expressions solemn as they spoke.

To ensure a decisive victory against the Fang Immortal Clan (Organization) without alerting them, Eldrin (Person Name) deliberately refrained from mobilizing any combatants below the Nascent Soul stage.

He planned to mobilize 15 True Monarchs from the clan, along with Lady Yan Zi—a late-stage Nascent Soul grand cultivator—to jointly strike against the Fang Immortal Clan (Organization).

At the break of dawn, he employed the Great Deduction of Yin-Yang and the Stars Dao to conceal the heavenly secrets, leading 15 family Nascent Soul True Monarchs in stealth to the summit of the Gu Yuan Mountain Range. There, they conducted a meticulous investigation.

After thoroughly investigating the Fang family's Mountain Protection Array, Lyra (Person Name) murmured thoughtfully:

"The Fang Clan's Mountain Protection Array is constructed upon a quasi-sixth-grade Golden Earth Vein and a quasi-sixth-grade Spirit Vein. Even if a Soul Transformation mighty expert were to attack, it could withstand 3 strikes. Therefore, we must still give it our all."

Qing Ji nodded, then declared decisively, "If we join forces to unleash 3 Pure Yang Immortal Swords and simultaneously activate the Crimson Gold Barrier-Breaking Treasure Qi Shuttle (Magic Treasure), we should be able to shatter the mountain protection array in 1 strike."

"Not so fast. To prevent mutual devastation, I shall first diminish their combat prowess with the Yin-Yang Annihilation God-Slaying Curse."

Eldrin spoke, then concealed himself near the Fang Family’s training ground, harnessing the power of the Star-Viewing Tower to activate the Yin-Yang Annihilation God-Slaying Curse.

With Eldrin's (Person Name) current cultivation level, the power he could unleash with the Yin-Yang Annihilation God-Slaying Curse was truly astonishing. Had he possessed the target's birth chart characters, he could even have cursed to death a mighty expert at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) stage.

At that moment, he unleashed 13 consecutive Yin-Yang Annihilation God-Slaying Curses, immediately achieving astonishing results.

In an extremely short span of time, nearly all 13 Fang Clan True Monarchs on Gu Yuan Mountain were simultaneously gravely wounded and drenched in blood. 5 of the True Monarchs perished on the spot.

Among those 5 True Monarchs, 3 were cursed to death by Eldrin using their essence blood and birth characters as mediums, while the other 2 perished during critical moments of cultivating their divine abilities—driven into Qi deviation and sudden death by the curses.

Apart from these 5 individuals, the remaining 8 True Monarchs had also suffered unprecedented devastation. The dual curse energies of Pure Yang Fire and Profound Abyssal Water within their bodies were locked in an inextricable struggle, ceaselessly ravaging their physical forms.

The combat prowess of these 8 individuals had suffered such devastating damage that, although they barely managed to preserve their lives, their strength had been depleted by 70 or 80 percent, leaving them utterly incapable of continuing the battle.

It could be said that the trump card Eldrin had concealed for years—the Yin-Yang Annihilation Eye Curse—had never been deployed, not even against the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor. Yet now, it proved decisively effective, crippling nearly half of the Fang Clan's True Monarch in a single strike.

At this point, should they take action, the number of True Monarchs from the Chen family was no less than that of the Fang family. Coupled with the several Pure Yang Immortal Swords carried by the group, they now possessed full confidence to annihilate the Fang clan.

"Who did this?"

Fang Xuan was currently in secluded cultivation when he suddenly discovered that as many as 5 True Monarchs of his clan had abruptly perished. An inexplicable panic surged within his heart.

In that instant, a foreboding sense of danger washed over him. He immediately pushed the Mountain Protection Array to its limits and commanded, "All disciples heed my order! Pour your energy into sustaining the Mountain Protection Array! Not a single soul shall retreat from their positions!"

His words had barely faded when he hastily touched his storage ring. Seeing the Soul Restoration Pill still safely inside, he couldn't help but draw a sharp breath before striding toward the teleportation formation and soaring through the air.

The clan was suddenly attacked, with nearly half of their Nascent Soul Realm cultivators' combat strength lost. Fang Xuan immediately realized the assailants had come fully prepared.

Faced with such a life-or-death crisis, he resolved to abandon his clan and flee for survival first, vowing to return for vengeance after achieving the Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Before he could even react, Eldrin and the others struck simultaneously. A blindingly brilliant sword radiance erupted across the heavens, cleaving directly toward the Fang Clan's sacred training grounds.

The first to strike was Qing Ji, her Azure Dragon Sea-Reaving Sword tore through everything, leaving the Fang family's mountain protection array grievously dimmed.

Close behind, Kael's Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Green Abyss Sword descended almost instantaneously. In that fleeting moment, Lyra also made her move, unleashing the Crimson Gold Barrier-Breaking Treasure Qi Shuttle to strike down.

Such overwhelming forces striking together—apart from the guardian formation of the sixth-level Nascent Soul realm, no other array in this world could possibly withstand it.

In the blink of an eye, the Fang family's mountain-protecting formation was torn asunder.

"Damn it."

Fang Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, and without a second thought, he flew frantically toward the teleportation array.

But the crowd would never let him escape. Seizing the long-prepared moment, Qing Ji instantly sprang into action. She summoned the Purple Cosmos Void-Spanning Mirror to seal the void, forcibly locking down the teleportation formation.

"My thanks."

At this moment, Eldrin finally caught his breath after consecutively casting spells.

He let out a slight sigh of relief and smiled at Yan Zi Ji. "The reason I invited you for this battle was to seal Fang Xuan’s last chance of survival."

At this moment, a trace of despair and ferocity surfaced on Fang Xuan's face as he witnessed the scene.

His gaze was ferocious as he glared at the crowd, his voice dripping with unparalleled hatred: "Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure), Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword, Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure)."

"Eldrin, you little whelp. For the mere Soul Elixir in this venerable 1's grasp, you've truly orchestrated quite the spectacle."
