Chapter 792 : Clash of Primordial Sun and Abyssal Sea

Seeing that Eldrin Chen was merely an Infant Soul Cultivator [a cultivator whose nascent soul has formed] yet could still divert his focus, the Kunpeng [a mythical giant bird-fish creature] narrowed its icy gaze and declared, "You are impressive. Remember that the one who slays you is I, 'Kunpeng Child'!"

As his words fell, Kunpeng Child unleashed another brilliant streak of light—a deep azure treasure vase.

This treasure was named the 'Kunpeng Sea-Overturning Vase' [a magical vase capable of overturning seas], and it was Kunpeng Child's second Lifebound Supreme Treasure [a treasure intimately connected to and nurtured by its owner's life force].

Forged from the 'Abyssal Sea Divine Marrow' [a divine marrow born from the heart of the abyssal sea] nurtured within the oceanic vortex of the North Sea of Darkness [the frigid, lightless northern sea], this vase could draw upon the infinite waters of the North Sea, transforming them into the supremely Yin and frigid North Dark Divine Water [divine water of ultimate cold and darkness].

Now, as the Kunpeng Sea-Overturning Vase inverted itself, an endless torrent of North Dark Divine Water cascaded forth, sweeping across the void like the North Sea of Darkness itself. Everything in its path was destined to be frozen solid.

This North Dark Divine Water was lethally cold. Even a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator whose primordial spirit has reached the Path Lord realm], if carelessly touched by it, would suffer frostbite or death, their form dissolving into a puddle of icy water before long.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen possessed the Primordial Solar Magical Power [a cultivation art harnessing the power of the primordial sun]. He instantly transformed his energy into boundless Primordial Solar True Flame [true flames of the primordial sun] that surged forward, forming a blazing barrier in the void to hold back the North Dark Divine Water.

Seeing this, Exquisite Jiang by his side also summoned her Samadhi Fire [a sacred flame born of profound meditation], joining forces with him to withstand the onslaught.

"The Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure imbued with primordial solar power] is too domineering; we cannot face it head-on!"

After that brief clash, Eldrin Chen realized that relying solely on magical power to resist this North Dark Divine Water would be unsustainable in the long run. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio novel.com.

He acted decisively, summoning forth the Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure Void-Suppressing Vase. This type of treasure vase [a spiritual artifact] is supremely effective at countering all forms of divine water, capable of absorbing a portion of the North Dark Divine Water [a potent spiritual water embodying the essence of the northern darkness].

Seeing this, the Kunpeng Child had no choice but to withdraw the North Dark Divine Water. He then channeled his power into the Kunpeng Sea-Overturning Vase [a vase imbued with the power to overturn seas, a signature treasure of the Kunpeng lineage], unleashing its crushing force to suppress the trio and drive them back.

This Kunpeng Sea-Overturning Vase was also a Middle Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a high-tier spiritual artifact], possessing the power to suppress heaven and earth. Fortunately, Exquisite Jiang and Verdant Consort were no easy opponents to handle.

The Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword [a sword whose strikes can stir the very seas] and the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword [a sword famed for its ability to slay even immortals] danced and clashed with lethal grace, their combined assault forcing the Kunpeng Child into a defensive struggle, preventing him from gaining any ground.

"People of the Eastern Barrens!"

High above in the Heavenly Vault [the vast, celestial sky], the Kunpeng Demon Sage was locked in fierce combat with the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace. Seeing his Kunpeng Child mired in a bitter struggle below, a frown creased his brow.

This Kunpeng Child was his sole direct descendant who had inherited his full, potent bloodline. Although he had only recently broken through to the Primordial Spirit realm [the spiritual core cultivation stage], his combat prowess already rivaled that of a cultivator halfway into the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage.

After all, the ability to simultaneously nourish two Lifebound Supreme Treasures [treasures bound to one's life and soul] while in the Primordial Spirit Realm was a testament to an ultimate bloodline far more astonishing than even the Human Race's Superior Grade Path Body [a supreme innate physique for cultivation]. In terms of battle strength within the same realm, he could be considered nearly invincible.

The Kunpeng Demon Sage had originally pinned his hopes on this Kunpeng Child launching a surprise attack to severely wound or even slay a Human Race Path Lord [a master of a cultivation path], thereby breaking the stalemate and forcing a retreat from the forces of Drifting Snow Palace.

He never anticipated that the Kunpeng Child would be intercepted and held at bay by four individuals: the Sea-Calmer Path Master [a master of the sea-calming cultivation path], Eldrin Chen, and two others. This development greatly exceeded his expectations.

With this thought, the Kunpeng Demon Sage's gaze darkened imperceptibly. "Since we cannot repel the Human Race, we must delay no longer. Let us enter the ruins first, and then each rely on our own means."

Suppressing his thoughts in an instant, the Kunpeng Demon Sage summoned a treasure cauldron to block the attack from the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace. Then, with a resonant *clang*, he unleashed the Kunpeng Twin Swords.

"*Clang—*"

In that fleeting moment, the radiance of the twin swords merging eclipsed all else. Surprisingly, they did not slash towards the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace, but instead cleaved towards the Heavenly Mountain.

This left the defending Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace momentarily stunned. Before she could ponder further, a deafening, earth-shattering roar erupted.

They saw the Heavenly Mountain gouged open by that sword strike, revealing a chasm ten thousand zhang deep. At the bottom of that abyss, a Formation [a complex array used to channel energies or create barriers] designed to conceal auras was violently torn asunder.

Beyond that shattered Formation lay a bottomless, infinite abyss. From within it, a blindingly brilliant light erupted forth, accompanied by astonishing phenomena that spread across a million Li-lengths of mountains and rivers.

"This is..."

Caught off guard, the onlookers watched as the Kunpeng Demon Sage was the first to beat his wings and soar into the endless abyss.

Immediately, two streams of light that had been hidden for a long time followed suit—they were none other than Patriarch Wang from the Northern Plains and the Glacier Old Demon.

"It is the Ancient Immortal Ruins."

In the flash of a lightning strike, the cultivators sensed and understood the nature of this Karma [the cosmic principle of cause and effect that binds all actions].

The Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace immediately charged in, her voice ringing out, "Everyone, act swiftly! Do not let the demonic fiends seize the Immortal's Legacy [the profound inheritance left behind by a powerful immortal]!"

In an instant, the many Primordial Spirit Path Lord [powerful cultivators who have condensed their spiritual essence into a Primordial Spirit] dared not delay and flew towards the depths of the abyss.

Eldrin Chen exchanged a glance with Exquisite Jiang and decisively stated, "Judging by the celestial phenomena, these ruins are likely extraordinary."

"Our strength still falls far short before the Kunpeng Demon Sage. We must stay close together to avoid falling into a demonic ambush." Support the author by reading on (audio-novel.com).

"Agreed."

Everyone nodded with utmost gravity, then flew together deeper into the subterranean chasm.

They flew for what seemed an age before finally arriving before an underground cavern, their path blocked by a powerful restrictive formation.

Eldrin Chen looked up and saw the words 'Heavenly Mountain Immortal Mansion' inscribed above the cavern entrance.

At this moment, the Kunpeng Demon Sage [a legendary demonic bird of immense power], seeing that everyone had assembled, spoke with a calm gaze. "This Heavenly Mountain Immortal Mansion [a celestial abode built upon a sacred peak] is an Immortal Mansion [a celestial dwelling place for powerful immortals] left behind by an Ancient Immortal [a cultivator who achieved immortality in a bygone era]. Within lie the restrictive formations [powerful defensive arrays] left by that Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality] of old."

"If this were several hundred thousand years ago, not even a Demigod Patriarch [a cultivator of immense power, half-step to godhood] could hope to breach such Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality] methods. Fortunately, after the passage of so many millennia, the power of the formations has greatly diminished."

"If we join forces, it should take us only half a Ke-time [fifteen minutes] to break through the restrictions."

The Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace [the ruler of a powerful northern sect], her gaze sharpening slightly, considered this. This was a relic of the Northern Plains [a vast, cold northern region], and by rights, it should be the rightful prize of the Drifting Snow Palace [a prominent northern sect].

Yet now that the Kunpeng Demon Sage [a legendary demonic bird of immense power] had arrived, she likely lacked the strength to claim it all for herself.

Furthermore, the eyes of both sides present burned with fervent desire; clearly, all were utterly captivated by the treasures within. Before the treasures were revealed, it seemed none had the heart to continue fighting.

Having reached this conclusion, she declared without hesitation, "Let us first break the restrictions. The treasures inside... we shall each rely on our own means."

"Begin!"

Seeing that the leaders of both factions had decided to first open the Immortal Mansion [a celestial dwelling place for powerful immortals], everyone immediately sprang into action. Before long, they had breached the Immortal Mansion's [a celestial dwelling place for powerful immortals] defensive formations.

In an instant, the crowd surged forward like a tidal wave, charging headlong into the depths of the Immortal Mansion [a celestial dwelling place for powerful immortals].

From the outside, the Heavenly Mountain Immortal Mansion appeared utterly ordinary, yet the world within was boundlessly vast. Gazing out, one could see mountains and rivers stretching for who knew how many tens of thousands of Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters]. It was evident that a Sixth RankSpatial Gemstone [a rare gemstone imbued with spatial properties] had been refined into its very foundation.

Eldrin Chen and his three companions were exceedingly cautious, entering the immortal abode as the very last group. Yet, upon stepping inside, they found the mansion filled with a dense mist. Their spiritual senses [a cultivator's extrasensory perception] were blocked by this fog, able to probe only within a range of one thousand Zhang-length [one Zhang-length equals three point three three meters].

"It's the Immortal-Bewildering Mist [a specialized magical treasure designed to obscure spiritual senses]," Exquisite Jiang spoke up immediately, identifying the origin of the mist.

This Immortal-Bewildering Mist was a type of treasure used to prevent others from spying, a high-grade artifact specifically designed to counter spiritual sense. Typically, cultivators would only deploy it within their private chambers or as part of a defensive Formation [a structured arrangement of energy nodes for protection or other effects].

Eldrin Chen himself possessed a Spiritual Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact] named the Mist Veil, which could also release Immortal-Bewildering Mist. He kept it within the Spirit Isle Lake. Once activated, it could blanket the entire Spirit Isle Lake, making it difficult for even a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator who has mastered the Primordial Spirit realm] to see through the fog.

The Immortal-Bewildering Mist here was even more profound and mysterious. Despite filling this immense Immortal Mansion, it still managed to suppress Eldrin Chen's spiritual perception to within one thousand Zhang-length. This indicated it must be emanating from a Spiritual Treasure of exceptionally high grade.

After all, this Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] abode was likely many times larger than the Spirit Lake Isle.

Eldrin Chen quickly scanned his surroundings. Only upon confirming that Exquisite Jiang, Verdant Consort, and Lila were all nearby did he allow himself a slight sigh of relief.

He then said in a low voice, "This mist is extremely potent. We must stick together and not get separated." Continue your cultivation journey at audio‑novel.com.
