Chapter 849. The Ganges Quiet Spirit Realm

No wonder Elder Rong was so enraged. Originally, they had invited over 30 Primordial Spirit Dao Lords from the human, demon, and monster races who had remained behind to provide support. However, because the Black Dragon Ancestor refused to join the battle, many from the demon and monster races withdrew their commitment. In the end, only 17 showed up, which infuriated everyone to the extreme.

At this thought, a glint of cold sharpened Dorian's gaze as he spoke with a trace of killing intent, "Now, this Black Dragon likely answers to no 1!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions grew increasingly grim...

Now, the human race's Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) has confined himself within the 8 Trigrams Immortal Array. The master of Li Fire Palace had his physical body destroyed, while fellow Daoists Taiyuan and Taixuan both fell in this battle. Lin Tianqi suffered unprecedented severe injuries and his whereabouts remain unknown.

There remained only the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion, the sole surviving Nascent Soul Paragon capable of taking action. Truly, they could no longer pose any meaningful threat to the Black Dragon Ancestor.

At this thought, the group couldn't help but feel somewhat powerless again.

Eldrin (Person Name) drew a deep breath, suppressing the killing intent in his heart before speaking. "At present, we must focus on resisting the extraterrestrial demons. We cannot afford to make powerful enemies in such a short time."

Although the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor wished to remain an onlooker, having cultivated to such a realm, He was no fool. It was highly unlikely He would kick them when they were down or stand by idly while the Violet Realm fell into the hands of demons.

"Let us wait until we have some strength to spare in the future before taking action against the Outer Demons."

Upon hearing this, the various Dao Lords could not help but nod in agreement.

For now, let us set this matter aside. The master of Tianya Pavilion continued, "The Fang Clan of the Sunrise Ancient Domain claims that the Sunrise Dao Lord is currently in secluded cultivation, facing a life-or-death breakthrough, and thus cannot join this battle."

"How dare he?"

Everyone’s expressions shifted dramatically. The Violet Sky Elder’s face darkened to an extreme as he declared, "Demons and monsters are not of our kind—if they refuse to join the battle, so be it. But the Dawn Dao Lord, a mighty figure of the human race, dares to decline participation in this war as well!"

All the Dao Lords present wore icy expressions. If they were fighting on the front lines while others contributed nothing yet reaped the benefits of their life-and-death struggles—how could such injustice be tolerated?

At this thought, the many Primordial Spirit Dao Lords present all wore icy expressions. A few of them even began to subtly waver, unwilling to throw their lives away for another's gain.

"Please, everyone, calm your anger."

Seeing everyone’s tempers flare, the master of Tianya Pavilion also wore an unpleasant expression as he said, “If the Fang Immortal Clan (Organization) refuses to join the battle now, this old man will certainly not stand for it.”

"After this battle concludes, I shall personally apprehend that Eldrin of the Rising Sun and give you all a proper account."

Hearing the words of the Celestial Cliff Pavilion Master, the crowd finally withdrew their killing intent, their resolve for battle growing firmer.

Seeing this, the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion breathed a slight sigh of relief. Remembering the details of the battle, he spoke, "Not long ago, this old man uncovered the latest intelligence."

After a brief respite, the Otherworldly Fiend prepared to dispatch troops to conquer the Eastern Sea.

"In this battle, the extradimensional demons have committed virtually all their combat-capable forces. We anticipate an assault from approximately 60-some Primordial Spirit Dao Lords."

"Although we are slightly outnumbered, with the formation of the Celestial Horizon Pavilion at our backs, we should still have a fair chance of victory."

Hearing this, everyone present furrowed their brows deeply.

They knew full well that if this battle were lost, the entire Eastern Sea cultivation world, and even the Eastern Wastelands, would most likely fall.

If they could hold the Cliffside Sanctuary and deal a heavy blow to the Outer Fiends, only then would they gain precious time to recuperate and rebuild their strength for a comeback after several centuries of recovery.

At this thought, the master of the South Sea Glazed Palace spoke up, "While it may be possible to defeat the Outer Demons in this battle, completely annihilating the Outer Fiends and dealing them a crippling blow will be exceedingly difficult."

"If we wish to slay them, we'll need a Spatial Spirit Treasure."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly.

It is exceedingly difficult to slay a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord, for such beings can tear through the void at will and escape beyond the boundless cosmos, making them nearly impossible to eradicate.

Back in the Star Archipelago, the reason so many Nascent Souls perished was primarily due to the 'Cosmos Vessel' serving as the formation's core, enabling the Zhou Heavenly Star Formation to suppress the void.

Sixth-level space gems were exceptionally rare. Previously, there were only 3 spatial treasures in the Violet Realm: the 'Violet Cosmos Evasion Mirror' (Magic Treasure), the 'Great Universe Vessel' (Magic Treasure), and that supreme treasure of the Western Extremity Serene Spirit Temple, the 'Boundless Sands Serene Realm' (Magic Treasure).

All 3 treasures are of the highest sixth-tier grade, each an unparalleled treasure within the Violet Realm. With any 1 of them in hand, 1 would possess the means to suppress and slay even a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.

Now that the Cosmic Star Formation Grand Array had been shattered, the Great Cosmos Vessel had vanished without a trace amidst the chaos.

The Violet Cosmos Mirror was the very treasure that enabled the former Dao Lord Violet Cosmos to achieve his Dao. This Dao Lord Violet Cosmos was the eldest senior disciple of Jiang the Demon-Subduer, and the father of Lyra (Person Name).

其修为高达元神九重，在三千年前追寻姜皇足迹而去，此后便如追随姜皇而去的数十位道君般一去不复返，紫寰遁空镜便也就此遗失。

Now, the only remaining Pure Yang spatial spiritual treasure is the 'Western Pole Sands Realm' this supreme treasure.

At this thought, everyone couldn't help but glance at a monk standing nearby.

This man possessed a handsome countenance, draped in violet-gold kasaya, with an air of resolute determination between his brows. He was none other than the ‘Demon Subduing Arhat’ from the Western Extremity’s Tranquil Spirit Temple.

This Demon-Subduing Divine Monk was the chief of the Arhat Hall of the Western Extremity's Tranquil Spirit Temple. His cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Nascent Soul realm, and it was said he had already perfected the supreme Buddhist divine ability—the Arhat Golden Body—to its great perfection stage.

In the previous great battle, this Demon-Subduing Divine Monk relied on his ‘Arhat Golden Body’ to single-handedly hold off a host of foes. He alone engaged 2 Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) heavenly demons and emerged with scarcely any serious injuries, demonstrating the formidable power of this divine ability.

The Demon-Subduing Monk noticed the gazes of the crowd and clasped his hands together, saying, "As you all wish, this humble monk has indeed brought forth the supreme treasure of our Western Extremity Tranquil Spirit Temple—the Ganges-Sand Tranquil Spirit Realm."

"In that case, this shall suffice!"

The master of the Endless Sky Pavilion nodded, then declared, "Everyone, return and make your preparations for the final battle."

After the crowd had dispersed, the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion kept Eldrin behind.

He gazed at Eldrin and couldn’t help but take a deep breath before saying, “With so many heroes gathered here at the Edge of the World Pavilion, why not seize this chance to attempt your Soul Formation breakthrough?”

"Assault the Nascent Soul?"

Eldrin's expression shifted slightly, but after a mere moment, he still shook his head.

To be fair, the proposal from the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion stirred considerable excitement within him, yet he understood this was not the optimal moment to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Because he had forged the 5 Elements Primordial Chaos Foundation, the tribulation he would face in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm was destined to be unprecedented.

This tribulation was already unprecedented in all of antiquity. Should the breakthrough occur within the Solitary Expanse Pavilion, compounded by the invasion of the Outer Fiends, it would inevitably escalate into an even more terrifying calamity.

When the time comes for the calamity of the Outer Demons, combined with my own tribulation, I fear it may lead to even greater unforeseen changes in this battle.

Moreover, he had a vague premonition that once he broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, the Outer Realm Demonic Gods would certainly not stand idly by.
