Chapter 797. Slaying Wang Laomo

"Watch out!"

In the blink of an eye, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) could not help but turn pale.

The treasure wielded by the Wang Clan Patriarch was known as the Skull of the Blood Fiend (Magic Treasure), an exceedingly ruthless demonic spiritual artifact that required harvesting the skulls of numerous high-level cultivators to complete its refinement.

Little did they know, the Wang Clan Leader had long since secretly mastered it, cultivating it to the Middle Sixth Tier—clear evidence that he had been committing atrocities for years.

As the Blood Demon Skull hurtled toward Eldrin, Maris the Sea Steader—now devoid of spirit treasures to parry the assault—could only channel her innate divine ability, the "Vast Sea Vanquishing Emptiness Waters," to meet the attack.

Yet this pure yang divine art could not withstand the Blood Demon Skull, its immense power extinguished without a trace by the overwhelming tide of blood essence.

Seeing the situation turning dire, Eldrin immediately summoned the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss to defend himself.

Yet his cultivation base was ultimately insufficient; such methods could not withstand the demonic treasure's might. He could only summon the Dual-Polarity Divine Aura to hold his ground.

But then, with a sickening tear, the Yin-Yang Divine Aura was actually shattered on the spot by the Blood Demon Skull. A residual wave of bloody light swept menacingly toward Eldrin (Person Name).

Clang—

At the critical moment between life and death, the Earth-Sovereign Bell, the Dual-Polarity Void Mirror, and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) automatically activated to protect their master, barely managing to block the strike.

However, the Earth Sovereign Bell had been contaminated by the Blood Demon Skull. Countless impurities of blood and baleful aura infiltrated the treasure bell. Though they were refined by the Pure Yang Flame in mere moments, the spiritual nature of this numinous treasure was severely eroded by the corruption.

Eldrin had no time to mourn the damage to his life-bound spiritual treasure. He swiftly drew power from the Primordial Azure Lotus Throne and unleashed an array of magical artifacts to engage in a fierce battle against the Blood Demon Skull.

"Futile resistance."

The Wang Clan Leader’s pupils abruptly constricted. Without hesitation, he unleashed another innate divine ability, determined to strike down Eldrin (Person Name).

Yet in that very instant, a treasure map that blotted out the skies soared through the heavens, sweeping across all existence with an overwhelming, indomitable force.

River of the Setting Sun Scroll!

The Wang Clan Leader's expression shifted dramatically, but it was already too late.

Wherever the treasure map passed, be it the glacial iron corpses or all manner of divine abilities, they were instantly reduced to dust.

Even a few lower-grade Pure Yang Spirit Treasures emitted mournful whimpers, their radiance noticeably dimming.

In the span of a single move, the Golden Jade Serpent Sword was sent flying sideways, while the Blood Demon Skull trembled violently, its radiance flickering in turmoil.

Demonic Treasure!

Riverlord Chang (Person Name) traversed the void with an imposing presence, his gaze carrying a trace of frost as he declared, "You wretched creature! As 1 who has reached the pinnacle of humanity's pillars, how dare you betray your own kind?"

"Fortunately, this old man kept a trick up his sleeve!"

It turned out Riverlord Chang (Person Name) had long been aware. Upon discovering the Immortal Bewilderment Mist had dissipated, he immediately left his second primordial spirit to continue exploring the spirit herb garden while his true form stealthily made his way over.

Now that they had captured the Old Fiend Wang, Riverlord Chang (Person Name) naturally held nothing back. With his full power unleashed, the Long River Sunset Painting descended like a vast cosmos suppressing heaven and earth.

Boom—

A heaven-shaking roar erupted as a setting sun materialized within the treasure scroll, its overwhelming presence dimming the Blood Demon Skull’s radiance to a faint glimmer. Cracks began to spiderweb across its surface.

While demonic artifacts are indeed formidable in power, most are crafted from common materials, far from matching the indestructible nature of righteous spirit treasures.

Seeing the Blood Demon Skull damaged, the Wang Clan Leader’s heart sank, and he knew in an instant that the battle was already beyond salvaging.

The man acted decisively, immediately seeking to withdraw and flee, but the Glacier Elder Demon moved even faster.

This demon cultivated the innate divine ability 'Ice Soul Rainbow Transformation Art', a pure yang-level movement technique whose speed was considered rare even among Nascent Soul cultivators.

But then, the Glacier Old Demon transformed into a streak of escaping light that shot across the heavens. Abandoning his Glacier Iron Corpse to save his own life, he actually managed to flee from behind and yet arrive first, leaving that Wang Old Demon behind in this place.

"Damn it."

Old Demon Wang’s heart sank. He wanted to flee, but it was already too late.

Wang Laomo swiftly fled on his luminous escape light, yet the Long River Sunset Scroll swept across the void, unexpectedly sealing away tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers within the painting.

"Slay—"

At this critical moment of life and death, Old Demon Wang still sought to resist stubbornly. He forcibly activated the Golden Jade Serpent Sword(Magic Treasure) to slash through the void, attempting to carve a path through the encirclement.

Unfortunately, the others naturally would not let him succeed. In that instant, several Pure Yang Spirit Treasures—such as the Azure Dragon Sea-Roiling Sword, the Heaven’s Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword, the Heavenly River Water Sword, and the Sea-Quelling Pearl—sealed the void, leaving him with no room to retreat.

Driven into such a desperate corner, the Old Fiend King refused to await his doom. Seizing the momentum from the combined assaults, he shattered the Blood Fiend Skull then and there.

A mid-grade Pure Yang demonic treasure exploded, its boundless filth inundating the void, staining even the River Sunset Scroll and several other spiritual treasures with a bloody radiance.

And as the price, Wang Lao Mo's physical body also disintegrated amidst the calamitous light.

"Whoosh—"

With a crisp crack, seizing the moment when several Pure Yang Spirit Treasures had their spirituality damaged, the primordial spirit of the Demonic Elder Wang immediately broke free, attempting to exploit the opportunity to escape from the encirclement.

Had this been the outside world, Old Demon Wang would have already torn through the void to make his escape. But here, spatial manipulation was impossible. He could only channel his primordial spirit to ride a streak of light, fleeing toward the world beyond.

That single difference made the distinction between life and death. A beam of frigid white light shot forth, unexpectedly freezing Old Demon Wang’s primordial spirit in the void.

Riverlord Chang (Person Name) immediately took action, channeling a pure yang spiritual treasure—the 'Sunfall Divine Needle' (Magic Treasure)—to strike down. In that instant, the Wang Clan Patriarch's primordial spirit was reduced to calamity ashes.

At last, they had slain the Wang Clan Patriarch, and everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Riverlord Chang sheathed the Golden Jade Serpent Sword, then glanced at Lila and couldn't help but marvel, "Such extraordinary Frost Essence magic power! It seems you've obtained the greatest opportunity this time."

In that critical moment just now, Lila activated her innate supernatural ability, Icy Soul Radiance, freezing the primordial spirit of the Old Fiend Wang, which allowed Riverlord Chang to deliver the fatal blow.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) simply smiled faintly and said, "Since Senior went to the Spirit Herb Garden, you must have gained tremendously as well."

"Not a bad haul after all."

Riverlord Chang (Person Name) couldn't help but stroke his beard in satisfaction. This time, he had obtained a sixth-grade supreme treasure herb that had been extinct in the Violet Realm for tens of thousands of years—1 capable of refining elixirs to break through to Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm).

After this venture, he now had a glimmer of hope to break through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm).

Seeing the delighted expressions on everyone’s faces, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) declared, “Let us lend a hand to the Drifting Snow Palace and claim the treasures before dividing the spoils.”

As they spoke, the group arrived before the forging hall where the members of the Drifting Snow Palace were gathered.

At this moment, the main hall had already been breached by the Falling Snow Palace disciples. When they arrived, they found the Palace Master emerging with a precious cauldron in hand, her face radiant with joy.

"This is!"

The moment Eldrin laid eyes on that treasure cauldron, his expression shifted abruptly.

With Eldrin's (Person Name) discerning eyes, he naturally recognized the extraordinary nature of this treasure cauldron. Its aura was scarcely inferior to the Ji Clan's Immortal-Refining Furnace, clearly marking it as a transcendent treasure bordering on celestial might.

The Palace Lord of Fluttering Snow noticed the expressions of the crowd and spoke, "This object is called the 'Demon-Suppressing Cauldron (Magic Treasure)', a tribulation-calming treasure left behind by the ancient immortals of yore."

"I shall wield this treasure to suppress the demonic tribulation and contribute my strength to the human race."
