Chapter 1325: Tai Su Immortal Light

Pure Nine-Lotus Treasure Lamp:

The golden light was dazzling, carrying a majestic righteousness that purified all things, making it impossible to look at directly.

Although among the three swords Chen Mobai wielded, the Primordial Sun Sword was known for its defense, it was undeniably the one with the deepest foundation. Over the years, under the continuous nurturing of the Saintly Virtue Grand Dao, it even showed signs of advancing to the mid-sixth tier. If this sword strike landed, even a Perfected Nascent Soul cultivator like Yuan Mo would face utter destruction.

"Fellow Daoist, please reconsider!"

The telepathic messages from Immortal Haoran Yiqi and Immortal Taixu simultaneously reached Chen Mobai's ears, their tones filled with urgency. If one of the Nine Venerables of the Jellyfish Palace were to die on Eastern Continent, the Jellyfish Palace would undoubtedly deploy all its forces to avenge them. At that point, right and wrong would cease to matter. Only an endless war would remain! At that time, let alone the Five Elements Sect, even the entire Eastern Continent combined would not be able to withstand the Jellyfish Palace's wrath. The Jellyfish Palace might even sink Eastern Continent just to vent its anger. After all, in the eyes of this power, this world should originally have been an endless ocean, with no land masses appearing at all.

Chen Mobai naturally considered this point, but now the Jellyfish Palace was trying to assert dominance over him, and they had already drawn swords. If he retreated again at this moment, what would be the next step? Should he truly allow them to take Qing Nü away? At worst, he could use his Dharma Realm to take the entire Five Elements Sect with him. Today, he was determined to make these two individuals from the Jellyfish Palace understand the true extent of his power.

With his mind clear, Chen Mobai no longer hesitated. He unleashed the Primordial Sun Sword Art to its maximum, and a majestic golden sword light erupted, as if golden characters were swirling around the blade. It easily shattered the deep blue scales on Yuan Mo's chest, effortlessly piercing his Perfected fifth-tier physical body. Just as the Primordial Sun Sword was about to run him through, A Zi let out a piercing shriek and produced a shell artifact, attempting to block from the side. However, before it could even get close, the shell artifact was intercepted by the golden characters formed from the Primordial Sun Sword's light.

The sword's edge, gleaming with a sharp light, plunged in, and blue blood instantly splattered. Yuan Mo's peak-level Water Grand Dao was also completely shattered by this single sword strike, and his vital essence, energy, and spirit began to dissipate throughout his body.

Just as Yuan Mo faced a life-or-death crisis, the jade pendant he wore at his waist suddenly burst forth with a profound, deep blue immortal light. This immortal light carried power far exceeding the Nascent Soul realm, instantly covering Yuan Mo's entire body. The Primordial Sun Sword, which had been cutting through like a hot knife through butter, was instantly frozen in place.

"Who dares to harm my disciple!"

A dignified Daoist voice resonated from within the jade pendant, and the deep blue immortal light surged even more, transforming into a towering elderly man. His scales gleamed with a cold, iron-like greenish-black hue, and half of his body was covered in bronze armor. Three rhomboid blades floated above his forehead, and his dark golden pupils glinted with an icy sharpness. Faint crow's feet were visible at the corners of his eyes, indicating his long lifespan.

The moment he appeared, he flicked a finger, and the stalemate between the Primordial Sun Sword and the deep blue immortal light was instantly broken. With a crisp sound, the Primordial Sun Sword's blade bent from the towering elder's flick. If Chen Mobai hadn't promptly activated the Primordial Chaos Bell, causing the Whale-man elder to be slightly distracted, the Primordial Sun Sword might have even broken.

"Void Refinement!"

Seeing the elder act and flick away the Primordial Sun Sword with a single finger, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present had that realm flash in their minds. The Azure Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness was already invincible in the world, and only a Void Refinement cultivator could so effortlessly defuse his attack.

"Is this the Jellyfish Palace's true foundation!"

"Just how many Void Refinement cultivators do they have?"

As the Nascent Soul cultivators felt awe and fear at the Jellyfish Palace's strength, Immortal Haoran Yiqi and Immortal Taixu exchanged glances, each letting out a sigh of relief. Chen Mobai's decisiveness had exceeded their expectations; it was possible that his rage had reached its peak, and he genuinely intended to kill a Nascent Soul Venerable of the Jellyfish Palace. If Yuan Mo had died here, Eastern Continent would undoubtedly have been drenched in blood. Now that he wasn't dead, there was at least room for a peaceful resolution.

As the two pondered how to speak, Yuan Mo's knees buckled, and he coughed up blood from his seven orifices, collapsing on the spot. Although Chen Mobai's sword strike hadn't pierced him completely, its sword intent had already shattered his Violet Manor and Dantian. Yuan Mo's primordial spirit, cultivated through a thousand years of arduous practice, would likely have been torn to shreds long ago if not for the protection of the deep blue immortal light.

"He couldn't even withstand a single sword strike!"

Realizing that he had only survived by relying on his master's power, Yuan Mo's eyes widened. With A Zi's support, he struggled to his feet, staring in disbelief at Chen Mobai, who was not far in front of him.

The sound of swords humming arose. The three swords, Ocean Calmer, Violet Lightning, and Primordial Sun, now gleamed with their individual lights, having returned to hover behind Chen Mobai.

"You audacious junior from Eastern Continent, how dare you defy the Jellyfish Palace!"

At this moment, after assessing Yuan Mo's injuries, the Whale-man elder's expression turned grim, and his dark golden eyes blazed with fury.

*Clang!*

In response, Chen Mobai bothered not to reply. Instead, he activated the Primordial Chaos Bell he had already summoned, preparing to use this supreme treasure to channel the Heaven Curtain Earth Vein Grand Formation and obliterate the Void Refinement avatar before him. From the moment the Primordial Sun Sword was unleashed, Chen Mobai's killing intent had been firm; he was ready for an endless war with the Jellyfish Palace.

"Wait, fellow Daoists!"

Immortal Haoran Yiqi, seeing this situation, was likely terrified of the consequences of an all-out war. Nevertheless, he had to brace himself and step forward, hoping to mediate.

"Get lost! He must die today!"

But the Whale-man elder possessed an even more domineering nature. He had already reached the Void Refinement realm three thousand years ago and held absolute authority within the Jellyfish Palace. If not for the palace's rules, he would even believe that the five continents had no reason to exist, and this world should return to the sea, transforming into a vast ocean.

After waving his hand and sending Immortal Haoran Yiqi, who had come to mediate, flying, the Whale-man elder, facing Yuan Mo's gravely injured form, made a grasping motion in the air towards the Mysterious Serpent Twin Spears floating beside him. Amidst the roaring splash of water, two gigantic shark-like forms, far larger than those in Yuan Mo's hands, appeared on either side of the suspended Dao platform. They carried several times more terrifying Water Grand Dao power than Yuan Mo's attacks, lunging at Chen Mobai with snapping jaws.

Clearly, these two mid-sixth tier artifacts were unleashing power beyond their limits at this moment. What was even more ingenious was that the twin spears' combined power was that of artifacts; the Whale-man elder had completely concealed his Void Refinement aura, thus avoiding the descent of the Ascension Spirit Light.

However, Chen Mobai's expression remained unchanged in the face of such an assault, because the Heaven-Reaching Compass had not given a warning.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

As the Primordial Chaos Bell swayed, circles of five-colored ripples rippled outwards like continuous waves. Augmented by the Heaven Curtain Earth Vein Grand Formation, its power to overcome all Five Elements was fully unleashed. The two gigantic shark-like forms created by the Mysterious Serpent Twin Spears, just as they clamped down with their jaws, were swept away by the five-colored ripples, dissipating from lifelike constructs into mere splashes of water.

But at this moment, Chen Mobai noticed that the Heaven-Reaching Compass began to issue a violent warning. The Whale-man elder's entire body erupted with deep blue immortal light, and he vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing directly in front of Chen Mobai.

"Definitely Void Refinement!"

Witnessing this scene, True Monarch Qingfeng and other Nascent Soul cultivators who had harbored doubts now confirmed the Whale-man elder's cultivation realm. Apart from the Grand Void Silk Palace, only those who had mastered the void could perform such instant teleportation.

After closing the distance, the Whale-man elder immediately unleashed his true strength. Deep blue immortal light, carrying the terrifying power to extinguish all things, enveloped Chen Mobai's entire body. Simultaneously, above the Ninth Heaven, the Ascension Spirit Light had already descended. Furthermore, it wasn't descending towards Eastern Continent but directly towards the Sky Sea. This indicated that once the avatar exposed its true strength, the main body could no longer conceal itself.

"Was it necessary for the Jellyfish Palace to sacrifice a Void Refinement cultivator for this?" All the Nascent Soul cultivators present were utterly shocked after considering this point. To be willing to sacrifice a Void Refinement cultivator just to slay Chen Mobai—what a profound foundation this implied!

Faced with this situation, Chen Mobai's expression also turned solemn. The warning from the Heaven-Reaching Compass indicated that even nascent sixth-tier artifacts like the Pure Yang Immortal Robe and the Revered Drum could not withstand the opponent's strike. Only the Primordial Chaos Bell could. However, this artifact was already operating at 120% of its power, almost burning its essence to hold back the Mysterious Serpent Twin Spears.

Should he risk draining fifty percent of the spiritual veins within the Five Elements Sect's territory to try and block, or even seal, it with the Haotian Mirror? This thought flashed through Chen Mobai's mind, and the Heaven-Reaching Compass's warning began to subside. This indicated that it could be blocked!

There was also a simpler method: releasing the Spirit Venerable from his Dharma Realm. However, after Chen Mobai weighed the pros and cons with his Inch Square Book, he knew that blocking it with the formation and the Haotian Mirror would incur the least loss. After all, if the Spirit Venerable were to appear, his Dharma Realm would be exposed, and facing the Whale-man elder's strike, the Spirit Venerable would certainly have to unleash full power. That, in turn, would inevitably trigger the Ascension Spirit Light. It was better to let those below suffer a little first.

Having made up his mind, Chen Mobai's second primordial spirit flew out from behind his head. Six Pure Yang artifacts combined, with the Haotian Mirror at their core, extracting and unleashing fifty percent of the spiritual veins from the Heaven Curtain Earth Vein Grand Formation. The scene of him once sealing the Death God with the Star-Guiding formation flashed before Chen Mobai's eyes. He had never imagined this experience would actually be useful here.

"Grand Formation, arise!"

With Chen Mobai's sharp cry, beams of spiritual light illuminated the Eastern Wilderness, rising like pillars into the sky. They arced in the firmament, resembling meteors with electrical tails, all streaking towards the suspended Dao platform. An ancient bronze mirror, its surface encircled by a phoenix-wood frame, lit up above Chen Mobai's head, instantly absorbing all the essence of the spiritual veins from the Eastern Wilderness. Although Chen Mobai had just used the Revered Drum to replace the spiritual frame, that artifact had only recently been refined and was not as proficient as the Haotian Mirror. It might not perfectly control the Heaven Curtain Earth Vein Grand Formation, so at such a critical life-or-death moment, Chen Mobai still trusted his own natal artifact more.

With a thought from his divine sense, the bright mirror surface aimed at the Whale-man elder in front of Chen Mobai. A golden and silver mixed mirror light cascaded down, trapping the Whale-man elder's avatar on the spot. During this process, the Haotian Mirror's light first clashed with the deep blue immortal light unleashed by the elder. The void shattered in an instant. This indicated that the two forces were already equivalent to two Void Refinement cultivators engaging in battle. This scene left all the Nascent Soul cultivators present dumbfounded. Although they knew Chen Mobai's strength was immense, subtly making him the top cultivator in the Heavenly River Realm, seeing him genuinely on par with a Void Refinement cultivator was still somewhat unbelievable for them.

This scene also greatly astonished the elder, who was filled with murderous intent. One must know that he was risking his main body's ascension to unleash the true power of this avatar, solely to erase the shame of a Jellyfish Palace Venerable being defeated and crippled by an outsider's sword. Yet now, he couldn't even get close to his opponent. He couldn't accept this either!

The Whale-man elder had already sensed that his main body was being enveloped by the Ascension Spirit Light and heading towards the Nine Heavens Tribulation. It was precisely because of this that his avatar could fight until its power was completely exhausted. This was also a method that many Void Refinement cultivators of the Jellyfish Palace had discovered. However, he never expected that it would be used on Chen Mobai for the first time.

*Boom!*

With this thought, the elder directly detonated ninety-nine percent of his avatar's power, infusing it into his deep blue immortal light, transforming it into the Grand Pristine Immortal Light! This was one of the Jellyfish Palace's supreme divine abilities. He refused to believe that a mere Nascent Soul junior before him could withstand it. The deep blue immortal light, which had been in a stalemate with the Haotian Mirror's light, immediately began its innate transformation after receiving the power infusion from the Whale-man elder's avatar. It shifted from deep blue to blue-white, finally shedding its blue hue to become pure, flawless pristine white!

With a sweep of the pristine white immortal light, the golden and silver mixed Haotian Mirror light immediately began to dissipate. This was because the silver light originated from the Eastern Wilderness spiritual veins extracted by the Heaven Curtain Earth Vein Grand Formation, and had not yet been fully refined and transformed into concentrated power. Meanwhile, under Chen Mobai's control, the three great swords suppressed the Mysterious Serpent Twin Spears in place of the Primordial Chaos Bell. The Primordial Chaos Bell, now freed, rang out loudly, drawing forth all the remaining spiritual veins from the Heaven Curtain Earth Vein Grand Formation. It then converted this energy, along with the energy dissipated by the Grand Pristine Immortal Light, into concentrated power via the Primordial Chaos Grand Dao, supplying it to the Haotian Mirror.

Soon, all the silver mirror light dissipated, but the golden mirror light became even more dazzling and bright. Although it was constantly forced outwards by the Grand Pristine Immortal Light, the seal it formed was never broken, still trapping the Whale-man elder on the suspended Dao platform in front of Chen Mobai. This scene left both the Whale-man elder and the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Jellyfish Palace nearby utterly shocked. They were most aware of the immense power of the "Grand Pristine Light."

"Could the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness truly withstand it?"

"What kind of mirror is this?"

"Primordial Chaos Grand Dao!"

The Whale-man elder, as expected of a Void Refinement cultivator, finally understood the power resisting him after repeatedly clashing with the Haotian Mirror's light, sensing it from the Grand Pristine Light's response. It was the Primordial Chaos Grand Dao, an innate grand dao of even greater transcendence, comparable to the Grand Dao of Finality. Although the Grand Pristine Immortal Light also originated from an innate grand dao, the Whale-man elder had only recently achieved Void Refinement, and his comprehension of this grand dao was merely superficial.

*Swish!* The Haotian Mirror's light sealed the Whale-man elder, along with himself, into a single point, which then fell into Chen Mobai's palm.
