Chapter 775 : Clash of Primordial Swords

In that instant, the pupils of Rising Sun Path Lord contracted sharply as he realized who had arrived.

The Surging Waves Immortal Sword was the Lifebound Immortal Sword [a cultivator's personal sword, bound to their soul and life force] of Path Lord Langsley, the very weapon upon which he had relied to dominate the world.

Now, nearly five hundred years after Path Lord Langsley's breakthrough into the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core realm of a high-level cultivator], the Surging Waves Immortal Sword in his hand had long since ascended to the ranks of a mid-grade Primordial Solar Immortal Sword [a powerful class of immortal swords imbued with solar essence].

The might of this Immortal Sword, combined with the peerless, slaughterous Sword Intent [the conceptual will and power imbued into a sword technique] of Path Lord Langsley, was something even Rising Sun Path Lord dared not underestimate.

Not daring to be careless, Rising Sun Path Lord immediately summoned his Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword and slashed directly at the oncoming Surging Waves Immortal Sword.

"Clang—"

With a sharp metallic ring, the Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword was actually sent flying back.

Although the Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword was Extraordinary, it actually could not withstand the Slaughter-infused Sword Intent of Path Lord Langsley, finding itself at a disadvantage.

Having suffered this unexpected setback, Rising Sun Path Lord saw the Surging Waves Immortal Sword press its relentless assault. His expression turned icy as he immediately summoned the Rising Sun God Furnace [a divine furnace artifact] to meet the strike.

Faced with this counterattack, before Path Lord Langsley could even move, Sage Lord Dorian at his side sprang into action. Find thousands of chapters at (audio-novel.com).

"The Rising Sun God Furnace [a legendary furnace of immense power], I fear it may not be enough!"

Yet, with a cold sneer, Dorian Ji flicked his sleeve, and a majestic, peerless immortal furnace soared into the sky, striking directly towards the Rising Sun God Furnace.

This immortal furnace was forged entirely from Primordial Unity Immortal Gold [a legendary, primordial metal of supreme quality]. Etched upon its surface were divine patterns of mountains, rivers, the Sun and Moon, and mythical beasts, exuding an aura of profound and unfathomable mystery.

It is said that long ago, before the Void-Refining Immortal [a title for a supreme immortal who refines the void] achieved his Dao, he chanced upon a fragment of damaged Primordial Unity Immortal Gold from beyond the Purple Seal Realm [a specific immortal realm]. He then set about forging this supreme treasure.

To craft this immortal furnace, the Void-Refining Immortal spent tens of thousands of years. He gathered the essence of nine great rivers, absorbed the souls of seven spiritual veins, and successively slew thirteen Primordial Spirit Demon Ancestor [powerful demonic beings at the Primordial Spirit stage] to infuse their vital spirits into the treasure, intending to forge a Supreme Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest immortal grade].

The patterns of mountains, rivers, the Sun and Moon, and the mythical beasts upon the Immortal Refining Furnace [the Furnace for Refining Immortals] originated from this very process.

Unfortunately, the Purple Seal Realm was later cast adrift into the endless void by the Purple Seal Immortal Lord [the Lord of the Purple Seal Realm]. The cataclysmic upheaval of a world's exile was enough to reshape heaven and earth, causing many treasures within the Purple Seal Realm that were mid-ascension to fail at the final hurdle.

The ascension of the Immortal Refining Furnace was thus interrupted, leaving it as a Quasi-Immortal Artifact [an artifact just shy of true immortal grade]—a treasure that Immortal [beings who have achieved immortality] found too valuable to discard yet too flawed to fully utilize.

Later, before the Void-Refining Immortal ascended to a higher realm, he bequeathed it to the Ji Immortal Clan [the Immortal Clan of Ji], to serve as their Clan-Suppressing Supreme Treasure [the supreme treasure that protects and defines the clan's legacy].

Nevertheless, this object remained a Quasi-Immortal Artifact. Even if Dorian Ji could not unleash its full might, it was more than sufficient to grievously wound an ordinary great power at the Primordial Spirit [the Primordial Spirit cultivation stage] realm.

"BOOM—"

With a sharp, crystalline crack, two supreme Treasure Furnace [legendary artifacts used for forging and refining] collided, as if two suns had been violently torn asunder.

Infinite light and heat erupted, and an irresistible shockwave tore a massive rent through the very fabric of the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome of the sky].

Immediately, the Rising Sun God Furnace was sent flying. The Treasure Furnace, forged from divine materials, now bore several deep fissures, clearly having suffered unprecedented damage.

"*Cough*—"

With his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact bound to a cultivator's life force and soul] grievously wounded, the Rising Sun Path Lord immediately suffered a backlash. He coughed up blood and was sent hurtling through the air.

Seeing the Rising Sun Path Lord injured, even the Long River Path Lord hesitated, but Eldrin Chen and the other Chen Clan cultivators did not delay.

In the blink of an eye, several Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [artifacts imbued with the pure, ancient power of the sun] shot forth, aiming directly for the Rising Sun Path Lord's throat.

Of the Rising Sun Path Lord's two Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, the Rising Sun God Furnace was critically damaged, and the Rising Sun Flowing Fire Sword was being suppressed by Billowing Waves.

Now, facing the combined assault, he could only rely on his two Primordial Solar Divine Ability [supreme techniques channeling solar power] and the Void-Suppressing Vase to defend himself. It was finally proving too much for him to handle.

In the blink of an eye, amidst flashes of lightning and sparks of steel, Master of Featherflight Pavilion intercepted the Void-Suppressing Vase. Simultaneously, Exquisite Jiang summoned her Azure Abyss Sword, and together with Verdant Consort's Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword, their blades swept forward in a devastating arc.

Both women had already ascended to the Celestial-Mortal Symbiosis realm [a state where celestial and mortal energies coexist and empower the cultivator]. In terms of spiritual power and combat acumen, they were no weaker than the Primordial Solar Path Lord.

At this moment, the Rising Sun Path Lord found himself forced into a frantic, disorganized defense, unable to fully suppress the violent backlash surging within his body.

"Cleave!"

Kael Chen confronted the enemy head-on. His Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword danced with lethal grace, its peerless sword-light aimed directly at the Path Lord's skull, cornering him with relentless pressure.

In such dire peril, the Rising Sun Path Lord nearly succumbed to the urge to tear through the void and flee for his life. Immerse yourself in the complete world at https://audio-novel.com.

Yet, he was, after all, a Primordial Solar Path Lord of the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage [the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, where one's spiritual core is solidified and powerful]. To be routed by a few Infant Soul cultivators would be a shame he could never live down among his peers.

Bound by pride, he forcefully quelled his instinct to flee and desperately channeled several of his Divine Ability [supreme supernatural techniques born from profound cultivation] to counter the fierce assault.

It was in that fleeting instant that Eldrin Chen seized the opening. In a heartbeat, he achieved unity of body and sword, transforming into a single, dazzling point of incandescent edge. He descended like a celestial river of nine Celestial Silver [a mythical, supremely sharp and radiant metal], carrying boundless momentum as he cleaved toward the Rising Sun Path Lord.

At this critical juncture, the Rising Sun Path Lord dared not hesitate a moment longer. With no regard for dignity, he tore open the fabric of space and soared into the sky to escape.

Yet, in the end, he was half a step too slow. With a resounding *clang*, the Heavenly River Positive Water Sword descended, severing half of his wrist in a single, clean stroke.

"Aaaargh—!"

Clutching his severed arm, Rising Sun Path Lord cast one final, venomous glare at Eldrin Chen before tearing through the void to make his escape.

Meanwhile, Sage Lord Dorian seized the opportunity. Harnessing the power of the Immortal Refining Furnace, he suppressed the Void-Suppressing Vase and claimed the immensely valuable Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure for himself.

Seeing this, Primal Radiance the Path Lord also instantly pierced through the void, fleeing deep into the boundless emptiness.

"There is no need to pursue them."

Just as Eldrin Chen was about to give chase, Dorian Ji shook his head and said, "Without a Primordial Solar Grade Spatial Spiritual Treasure [a treasure capable of sealing space] to lock down the void, even a Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm] great power would find it exceedingly difficult to slay them."

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding, recognizing the truth in Dorian Ji's words.

Beings at the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] level were nearly impossible to kill completely unless struck down in a single, fatal blow.

Within the Purple Seal Realm, only a select few, such as the Demigod Patriarchs and a figure like Heaven Abandoned Lin, possessed the power to accomplish such a feat.

The Demigod Patriarch [a cultivator who has transcended mortality but not yet achieved full divinity] naturally goes without saying, while Heaven Abandoned Lin is the foremost Sword Cultivator [a practitioner who specializes in the sword path] within the Purple Seal Realm. It is said that a century ago, his cultivation had already reached the Primordial Spirit 8th Tier [the eighth stage of the Primordial Spirit realm]. In terms of pure offensive power alone, it is estimated that even a Patriarch at the Great Perfection of the Primordial Spirit [the highest stage of the Primordial Spirit realm] would be no match for him.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen drew a deep breath and turned his gaze towards Long River Path Lord and Surging Wave Sword Immortal. He promptly cupped his hands in salute. "I offer my deepest gratitude for your assistance today, Seniors. This debt of kindness, Eldrin will hold it close to heart."

"There is no need for such formalities."

Long River Path Lord offered a serene smile. He examined Eldrin Chen carefully before speaking with a chuckle. "Five hundred years have passed, yet your mastery of the Dao grows ever more profound."

"It seems that in another millennium, our Eastern Barrens will welcome several new peers to our ranks."

"You honor me too much, Senior."

Eldrin Chen replied with humility, offering another solemn bow.

Seeing this, the Long River Path Lord stroked his long beard with a smile, then turned his gaze to Kael Chen. "I spoke earlier of taking you back to the Eastern Barrens Ancestral River, to cleanse the demonic taint from your being with the vast, purifying waters of the Long River Waters [the sacred, spiritually potent waters of the Long River]."

"Those were not empty words. You shall accompany me on this journey."

Kael Chen's expression tightened slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded. He then cupped his hands towards the Long River Path Lord and stepped to stand behind him.

Seeing this, Long River Path Lord [a title for a powerful cultivator who has mastered a specific path of cultivation] said no more. With a final nod to the assembled group, his form dissolved into nothingness, leaving no trace behind. Visit audi novel.com to enjoy the complete series.
