Chapter 873 Dragonfall Sea

It would never allow itself to be found so easily, not until the destined moment for its emergence had arrived.

With this thought, Eldrin (Person Name) wasted no time and flew straight toward the Eye of the East Sea.

Soaring across hundreds of millions of miles of void, Eldrin had no idea how long he had been flying before finally arriving above an abyssal sea of absolute stillness.

Dragonfall Sea

"Is this the East Sea Abyssal Eye, the source of all water veins in the Eastern Sea?"

Gazing at the abyssal vortex before him, Eldrin’s expression grew solemn. This stretch of ocean, where the East Sea’s abyssal whirlpool lay, was also known as the "Sea of Fallen Dragons."

As the name suggests, this was where a true dragon had once fallen.

What is the origin of that Verdant Azure Dragon? Its true form is none other than the 'Primordial Vein of Eastern Verdant Wood'—a breathtaking contingency meticulously crafted by the Celestial Horizon Pavilion over hundreds of thousands of years, through the collective efforts of 6 successive immortals.

To bring it to fruition, 6 Immortals even descended to the mortal realm multiple times at great cost, leaving behind incomparably precious immortal-tier treasures to aid its gestation.

He is a child of destiny, born to face the tribulation. Should he mature fully, his chances of attaining immortality would exceed 90 percent. His potential may very well rival even that of Emperor Jiang, possessing the capacity to quell the cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss.

Yet, in the end, he fell just half a step short. Though he had already cultivated the laws of immortal dao, he met his demise here before he could undergo the heavenly tribulation.

After the Fall of the Verdant Azure Dragon, the Dragonfall Sea became shrouded in endless baleful aura, with a true dragon’s vengeful spirit lingering within, transforming it into 1 of the most terrifying forbidden lands in the Violet Realm.

Since then, several Primordial Spirit Dao Lords had come to explore this place, only to discover that most treasures here had been destroyed in the great cataclysm. The grade of both spirit veins and water veins had drastically declined, making it unworthy of excessive investment.

5 1000 and some years ago, Emperor Jiang had also visited this place. It was said that he intended to restore the water veins here, hoping to determine whether it could serve as his personal dao sanctuary.

However, for reasons unknown, Emperor Jiang later abandoned this notion and never claimed the Dragonfall Sea as his dominion.

"It's just unknown whether that Dragon Soul within the Sea of Fallen Dragons still lives."

Eldrin’s heart stirred, and he stepped once more into the Sea of the Fallen Dragon.

Now he had reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm as a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord. Though the Sea of the Fallen Dragon was known as the world's most forbidden territory, it could no longer hold him back.

That Verdant Azure Dragon might not be weak—had it been at its peak, he would have shown it some respect—but after all, it was merely a remnant soul. He no longer feared it.

Eldrin, clad in snow-white robes, traversed the boundless sea as he journeyed through the forbidden realm of the Fallen Dragon Sea.

After entering the Dragonfall Sea, he was met by a towering wave of baleful energy. Within this forbidden zone lay countless fragmented souls and lingering resentments, many of which posed lethal threats even to Golden Core Adepts, and even to Nascent Soul Sovereigns.

But at this moment, upon seeing Eldrin (Person Name), they all shrieked and hid themselves in the depths of the sea.

Clearly, although these vengeful spirits and sinister ghosts each radiated overwhelming killing intent, they still possessed the awareness to recognize danger and knew better than to provoke such a formidable presence.

After traversing countless miles, when he finally reached the depths of the Dragonfall Sea, a flicker of killing intent flashed through his eyes.

In the boundless depths of the ocean, a colossal ghost dragon that blotted out the sky loomed over the abyss, gazing with profound tenderness at an azure true dragon nearby.

Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), now to be addressed as the Eldrin Ancestor (Demon Beast).

Eldrin murmured softly, gazing at the Azure Dragon Ancestral Demon before him.

The Azure Dragon Demon Ancestor sensed something amiss and only then realized that Eldrin (Person Name) had arrived. Terror gripped its very soul, driving it to flee behind the Ghost Dragon. With a face pale with dread, it stammered out.

"Ancestor, save me!"

It turned out that after transforming into an Azure Dragon, the Azure Dragon Demon Ancestor sought to leverage his draconic bloodline by venturing into the Sea of Undead, aiming to seize the legacy of the Yimu Azure Dragon.

This Eldrin Wood Dragon had fallen for many years, its remnant soul transformed into a ghost dragon wandering this place for tens of thousands of years. Now, it had finally laid eyes upon another being bearing the bloodline of the Eldrin Dragon.

In a dazed state, the Ghost Dragon faced the request of the Azure Dragon Ancestor. After a series of trials, it actually prepared to genuinely impart its own legacy cultivation method to him.

As luck would have it, Eldrin happened to witness it once again.

"Ancestor, Ancestor..."

The Azure Dragon Demon Ancestor repeatedly cried out “Ancestor,” his face radiating intense killing intent as he glared at Eldrin. With a chilling gaze, he declared, “This man is a sworn enemy of your junior, 1 whom I will fight to the death. I beg you, Ancestor, to strike him down.”

"Oh."

The ghost dragon murmured, his gaze fixed on Eldrin as he faintly sensed the latter's considerable strength. A rare trace of solemnity surfaced in his expression as he spoke, "If you withdraw now, I shall let bygones be bygones."

Eldrin did not reply. His gaze shifted to the Azure Dragon Demon Ancestor before he finally spoke, "I have come to obtain the Divine Wood Elixir."

"Since we've encountered this wicked dragon, let us sever this karmic tie while we're at it."

"You intend to kill him?"

The Ghost Dragon’s gaze sharpened. He took a deep breath and roared, “I can give you the Divine Yi-Water, but the Azure Dragon bloodline is rare. I beg you, spare her life.”

"I'm afraid not." Eldrin shook his head, then declared, "How could we ever forgive someone who blocked our path to enlightenment?"

At these words, the ghost dragon understood this karma could not be so easily severed.

He stretched his colossal form, a dragon body spanning tens of thousands of miles, claws bared and fangs brandished. His gaze turned icy as he declared, "If you wish to strike him down, you must first pass through me."

"The 1 I wish to kill, you cannot shield."

Eldrin stood with his hands clasped behind his back, not moving an inch, yet 2 resplendent sword chimes rang out as they slashed toward the Azure Dragon Demon Ancestor.

That day, the Li Twin Swords revealed their sharp edge, unleashing overwhelming killing intent with a single strike. Even a Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) existence would have to exert their full strength to withstand it.

"How dare you!"

The Ghost Dragon roared in fury upon witnessing this. With overwhelming rage, it summoned a broken sword—a pure-yang spirit treasure forged solely for slaughter.

Azure Dragon Sea-Enveloping Sword (Magic Treasure)

Eldrin's gaze flickered slightly as he instantly discerned the origins of this immortal sword.

The Azure Dragon Sea-Overlord Sword was the lifebound immortal sword of the former Ghost Dragon Demonic Ancestor, forged from embryonic immortal materials.

Alas, it had not yet fully matured when it was destroyed by an extraterrestrial demon god, becoming an incomplete quasi-immortal artifact. Nevertheless, it still possessed power comparable to a superior-grade spiritual treasure.

"Though this blade is broken, its killing edge remains undiminished!"

Eldrin's gaze flickered slightly as a resplendent treasure mirror materialized in the void, radiating immortal light. A surge of 2-Polar Primordial Magnetic Force instantly ensnared the broken sword, drawing it into the mirror's depths.

"My lifebound immortal sword!" The ghost dragon was instantly enraged, roaring furiously, "How dare you?!"

As the words fell, he immediately unleashed a blindingly brilliant bolt of lightning, striking forth.

Postnatal Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

Eldrin's gaze flickered slightly. This Acquired Yi Wood Divine Thunder was the innate divine ability of the ghost dragon. It was said that its complete form was the legendary immortal-grade divine ability.

Although this ghost dragon had not yet fully matured, its power could still be considered exceptionally rare in the world.

Eldrin dared not be careless, promptly circulating his Primordial Chaos True Aura to shield his body, barely managing to block this strike of Divine Yi Wood Thunder.

"Although this ghost dragon is but a remnant soul, its combat prowess rivals that of Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm). It seems we cannot afford to prolong this engagement."

With a mere flicker of thought, Eldrin once again summoned the Heaven-Sundering Twin Swords to strike at the Azure Dragon Demon Ancestor.

This strike moved with the speed of chasing stars and overtaking moons, carrying an unstoppable force that sought to slay this formidable foe here and now.
