Chapter 840 : Divine Flame's Demonic Bane
After cleaving through one formidable foe, Eldrin Chen felt the pressure upon him lessen considerably.
The four Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon [powerful demons from beyond this realm], each harboring their own treacherous schemes, dared not commit their full strength to the battle. For a time, they were actually forced into a steady retreat under Eldrin Chen's relentless assault.
The true reason lay in the overwhelming power of Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Pure Yang Fire [a divine flame born from the fusion of primordial chaos and pure yang energy]. The Pure Yang Flame [a flame of pure, untainted yang energy] was inherently the bane of Demonic Cultivator [practitioners who cultivate using demonic or unorthodox methods], dealing them grievous harm.
Now, with five types of Secret Power [esoteric energies cultivated through profound techniques] fused into one, transformed into the Primordial Chaos Pure Yang Fire, its destructive might had grown even more formidable.
After another hundred exchanges, Eldrin Chen seized another opening. Once more, he summoned the Chaos Grasping Hand [a giant spectral hand woven from chaotic energies], capturing one of the demons within its crushing grip in a single move.
As the colossal hand descended, it brought with it a deluge of Primordial Chaos Pure Yang Fire. The Demonic Cultivator's Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and true essence of a high-level cultivator], despite exhausting every means of defense, could offer no meaningful resistance.
"Aaaargh—!"
A final, agonized shriek tore from it before it was utterly incinerated into a wisp of ash, its form and spirit both annihilated.
"Hiss!"
Witnessing this scene, the onlookers could not help but draw in sharp, startled breaths. This chapter appears courtesy of https://audio-novel.com.
It was truly because the methods of Eldrin Chen were too astonishing, and the lethality of the Chaos Grasping Hand was overwhelmingly powerful.
Within the Purple Realm, Pure Yang Divine Ability [divine abilities powered by the purest Yang energy] are broadly categorized into two tiers: ordinary Pure Yang Divine Ability and Superior Pure Yang Divine Abilities.
Ordinary Pure Yang Divine Ability are quite rare; for instance, the Twofold Divine Aegis [a divine protective shield technique] is one such example. These types of Divine Ability serve as the trump cards for most Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] stage cultivators.
As for the superior Pure Yang Divine Ability, they are generally only preserved within certain Immortal's Dao Heritage [legacies of cultivation arts left by true Immortals]. For the most part, only Demigod Ancestor [a cultivator who has ascended halfway to immortality] and an exceedingly small number of Primordial Spirit, Late Stage cultivators can successfully master them.
These Superior Pure Yang Divine Abilities possess boundless potential. In essence, they are the legendary Immortal Rank Divine Abilities [divine abilities of a true Immortal's caliber]. Those who cultivate such Divine Ability can, in the future, refine Immortal Spirit Qi [the energy of the Immortal realm] and elevate them to the Immortal Rank level.
Even among the Superior Pure Yang Divine Abilities, there exists a hierarchy of strength. The first tier within the Purple Realm consists of only two: the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [Supreme Thunder of Pure Yang and the Five Elements] and the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Radiance [Supreme Radiance of Pure Yang and the Five Elements].
This is because such Divine Ability require Five Spiritual Roots [a spiritual constitution attuned to all five elemental forces] to cultivate. Strictly speaking, only a supreme Primordial Spirit cultivator with a Great Luo Nascent Soul Foundation [the most perfect and stable foundation for the Nascent Soul realm] has any possibility of comprehending them successfully.
Such a profound foundation, coupled with the exceptionally stringent requirements, naturally earns the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder its reputation as the foremost offensive Divine Ability under the heavens.
It is said that if one cultivates the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder to the Great Perfection Realm, it gains power comparable to Immortal Rank Divine Abilities, sufficient to rely upon it to challenge and slay even an Immortal.
Now, Eldrin Chen has created the 'Abyssal Primordial Qi' [Primordial Energy of the Abyss]. The 'Chaos Grasping Hand' [Hand that Grasps Chaos] and 'Primordial True Aegis' [Primordial Shield of Truth] it manifests are already no weaker than the 'Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder'.
Such profound Supreme Divine Abilities [the highest tier of supernatural powers attainable through cultivation] are worthy of being listed in the foremost column of Pure Yang Divine Ability [divine abilities of the purest Yang essence]. Once mastered, they are sufficient to dominate the world.
More importantly, Eldrin Chen, who now cultivates five types of Secret Power [esoteric foundational energies] simultaneously, has fused them into an even more formidable Primordial Chaos foundation. This allows him to unleash the power of the 'Chaos Grasping Hand' [a divine ability that manifests a hand of chaotic energy] to its absolute zenith.
Even Jiang the Sovereign Emperor, hailed as possessing Heaven Immortal [a level of talent fit for an immortal] aptitude, only comprehended four types of Secret Power in his entire lifetime. His Primordial Chaos Mana [the foundational chaotic energy of creation] pales in comparison.
It can be said that at the same cultivation realm, the same pinnacle-tier Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power] wielded by Eldrin Chen unleashes power far surpassing that of an ordinary Primordial Spirit [the Nascent Soul cultivation stage] cultivator.
Even Jiang the Sovereign Emperor and the successive generations of Immortal [those who have ascended to immortality] who departed this realm would feel ashamed of their inferiority, let alone a mere Demigod Ancestor [a Demi-Immortal Ancient Ancestor].
This demonstrates the astonishing power born from the fusion of the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Magic Power [a cultivation art harnessing the chaotic power of the five elements] and the 'Abyssal Primordial Qi' [Primordial Abyssal Energy], a Divine Ability rivaling the might of a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage [Late Stage Nascent Soul] cultivator.
This achievement may be unprecedented and likely never to be repeated in the annals of Purple Realm [the Purple Firmament Realm]'s history. To describe it in a single phrase, six words suffice.
One master stroke conquers all under heaven.
By deploying his Primordial True Aegis [Primordial Chaos Divine Shield], Eldrin Chen becomes impervious to myriad arcane arts and Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts]. Only the offensive power of a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage cultivator can breach its defense.
Without a Superior Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a top-grade spiritual treasure of pure Yang essence] or a Great Perfection Realm [the Great Perfection stage] Pure Yang Divine Ability, he remains invincible as long as his Mana [cultivation energy] is not fully depleted.
And if one condenses the Chaos Grasping Hand [a divine ability capable of seizing stars and moons to suppress demons], they can seize stars, grasp moons, and suppress fiends. An ordinary Primordial Spirit, Early Stage [the initial stage of the Primordial Spirit realm] cultivator, once caught, would most likely be crushed on the spot.
"Boom—"
Witnessing Eldrin Chen slay another Primordial Spirit [a high cultivation realm] Demonic Cultivator [a practitioner of demonic arts], the remaining three Heaven-Demon [a powerful class of celestial demons] grew fearful in their hearts, increasingly unwilling to confront him.
These newly advanced Nascent Soul Celestial Demon [a demon who has reached the Nascent Soul stage] were forcibly elevated to the Primordial Spirit Realm [the Primordial Spirit cultivation stage] by the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this realm] specifically for this battle. Although their combat power had reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, their Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts of great power] and Divine Ability [supernatural techniques and powers] were far inferior to those of long-established Nascent Soul Dao Lord [a master of the Dao who has reached the Nascent Soul stage].
Now, facing Eldrin Chen unleashing his divine might, they dared not step forward to their deaths and sought to disengage and flee for their lives.
"Thinking of running? It won't be that easy!" For uninterrupted reading, go to (audio-novel.com).
Just as the tide of battle turned, eight or nine figures suddenly flew in from the distant void. They were actually Primordial Spirit Demonic Monsters [powerful demonic beasts] from the Purple Realm [a specific demonic domain or territory].
Eldrin Chen swept his gaze over them and recognized several familiar figures.
These individuals were respectively the Five Venoms Young Master, the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor, the Abyssal Water Serpent Emperor [the Serpentine Demon Emperor of the Abyssal Depths], and two Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor [Great Peng Demon Emperors with Golden Wings] from the Eastern Sea Cultivation World [the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea].
"They held back earlier, only acting now that the situation has reversed. It seems these Demonic Monsters were never truly united with us."
In the span of a single breath, Eldrin Chen's gaze turned icy for a fleeting moment before he swiftly suppressed it.
It turned out that several Primordial Spirit Realm Demonic Monsters [powerful demonic beings] had also arrived within the Eastern Sea Cultivation World this time, intending to lend the Human Race a hand at a critical juncture.
However, earlier at the Black Tortoise Star Palace, witnessing the Human Race's defeat unfold too rapidly, they had not dared to intervene in the battle.
Now, they had long since hidden themselves nearby, hoping to let the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon [demons from beyond this realm] and the Human Race exhaust each other's strength, waiting to step in only after both sides were mutually wounded.
But now, seeing Eldrin Chen decisively defeat the myriad foes and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon showing signs of collapse, they finally decided to intervene and mercilessly attack the retreating enemy.
"Slay them!"
Seeing the two clans of Demonic Monsters block the retreat of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, Eldrin Chen immediately acted, summoning forth the Primordial Grasping Hand [a divine ability manifesting a giant ethereal hand] to seize the opportunity and encircle and annihilate the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.
Mingyuan the Daoist [a Daoist cultivator] saw his chance and his eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he conjured an Eight Trigrams Formation Disk [a mystical formation disk based on the eight trigrams], sealing the entire expanse of void and cutting off the retreat path of the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond].
"This is..."
The others were momentarily stunned, unable to suppress their looks of astonishment.
Mingyuan the Daoist [the Daoist named Mingyuan] let out a sigh of relief and then spoke, "This is a replica of the Eight Trigrams Plate [a magical artifact based on the Eight Trigrams divination symbols]. Its grade is only Sixth Rank [the sixth major stage of cultivation power] middle-grade, but it can temporarily trap them."
"However, with this humble Daoist's Mana [spiritual energy used to power spells and artifacts], I can only hold them for a brief moment. Everyone, act swiftly and stop them from breaking the formation."
With the Eight Trigrams Plate in play, the group seized the moment and unleashed their full arsenal, beginning a relentless assault on the Heaven-Demon [powerful demons from beyond this realm].
During this time, Eldrin Chen displayed awe-inspiring prowess, managing to slay two more Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a high-level cultivator] Demonic Cultivator [cultivators who follow a demonic path].
The others also pressed their attacks continuously, preventing the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon [demons originating from outside the known world] from breaking the formation. After three days and three nights of such fierce combat, the group had already slain over a dozen Primordial Spirit Demonic Cultivator.
By the time Mingyuan the Daoist's Mana was utterly depleted and he could no longer sustain the Formation [a structured arrangement of energy for defense or attack], the Demon God [a powerful demonic organization] forces were reduced to only six or seven survivors.
The remaining few Nascent Soul Celestial Demon [demons possessing power equivalent to the Nascent Soul cultivation stage] were mostly grievously wounded. They fled the shattered Formation, dragging their injured forms deeper into the void to escape.
The group gave chase for over ten days, cutting down several more Nascent Soul Celestial Demon. In the end, only the Demon Race Saintess [the holy maiden of the demon race] and the Twin-Wings Heaven-Demon [a Heaven-Demon distinguished by its twin pairs of wings] managed to escape.
