Chapter 922: Jiang Chengxuan Comes Out of Seclusion and Insta-kills Dao Integration Saints
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Ruyan’s hands flashed with lightning, unleashing the Five Lightning Immortal Slayer, she moved swiftly to intercept.
Saint Flying Heaven of the Haoran Sect and other Dao Integration cultivators immediately followed suit without hesitation, their spiritual treasures at the ready.
The first to confront Shen Ruyan was Saint Sky Bearer.
His eagle eyes narrowed, unleashing his innate divine power, a beam of divine light arrived in an instant.
Should the enemy be struck by this divine light from his eyes, they would feel as though cast into a tempestuous hell, their bodies torn asunder.
But Shen Ruyan was not one to be easily subdued.
With a flicker of her body, several clones burst forth, darting left and right, disrupting Saint Sky Bearer’s aim.
The divine light missed its mark, and Shen Ruyan’s thunderous strikes, thunderbolt after thunderbolt, aimed for Saint Sky Bearer.
He twisted his form, dodging the attack.
But Shen Ruyan was not intent on a prolonged battle; instead, she seized the opportunity to push deeper.
As Saint Sky Bearer attempted to follow, Wen Yuxiao, with sword in hand, blocked him, buying Shen Ruyan time.
She continued to penetrate deeper into the demon beast army, aiming to halt the three Demon Beast Saints’ breach of the barrier.
However, as she approached the three Demon Beast Saints and unleashed the Five Lightning Immortal Slayer, tearing through the void,
The three Demon Beast Saints, as if prepared, dodged effortlessly, instead encircling Shen Ruyan in the air.
“Human cultivator, we’ve been waiting for you to walk right into our trap, hahaha.”
Saint Inferno laughed arrogantly.
It turned out their attempt to breach the barrier from within was a feint, meant to lure the cultivators in,
Then encircle and slaughter them.
After all, with the barrier-protective array and their entry into the Eastern Sky Domain,
It proved more beneficial to slay the defending cultivators than to break the barrier.
A flash of cold light passed through Shen Ruyan’s eyes as she realized she had been ensnared by the enemy’s scheme.
Looking back the way she came, she saw that Saint Flying Heaven and Wen Yuxiao, among others, were already surrounded by the enemy.
“Enough talk, a bunch of schemers, do you really think you can defeat the human race this way?”
Shen Ruyan stood sword in hand, floating in the air, rebuking the three Demon Beast Saints.
Even faced with three Dao Fusion Demon Beast Saints, she showed no fear.
Somewhere deep within, she felt a premonition; her husband, Jiang Chengxuan, was about to emerge from seclusion.
And he would surely turn the tide.
“Stubborn cultivators of the Floodgate Realm, wait to be torn apart by our demon beast army!”
The three Demon Beast Saints, enraged, unleashed their innate divine powers towards Shen Ruyan.
Elsewhere, human cultivators were also trapped in the encirclement of the demon beast army.
The situation was dire; once the demon beast army breached the barrier, the human defenses would be overwhelmed.
With Saint Pingnan’s heaven-reaching ability, Saint Titan Peak’s mountain-moving strength, and Saint Inferno’s sky-burning power,
All of them Dao Fusion level demon beasts, now turned their deadly intentions towards Shen Ruyan,
Even if it wasn’t Shen Ruyan’s first time fighting a Dao Fusion enemy and she even had the strength to kill one,
At this moment, she still felt cornered.
Standing upon the Five Lightning Immortal Slayer, Shen Ruyan dodged the Demon Beast Saints’ attacks with fluid grace, as if she and her sword were one.
“Horn cage!”
Witnessing this, Saint Pingnan’s horns vibrated, instantly activating his innate divine power.
In the formless void, Shen Ruyan suddenly felt an oppressive force, as if every path led to a dead end.
This was one of Saint Pingnan’s divine powers, entrapping the enemy as if caught within a cage.
The more one struggles, the tighter the cage becomes.
This power was akin to that of a heaven-connecting spiritual treasure, except that this “treasure” was a natural part of Saint Pingnan.
“See how you dodge this, the power of moving mountains, Mountain Core Suppression!”
Seeing Shen Ruyan trapped by the horn, Saint Titan Peak seized the opportunity,
Opening his mouth, he spat out a speck of golden light, the mountain core, weighing billions of tons, pressing down on Shen Ruyan.
“Thunder Spirit True Body, Manifest!”
As the mountain core pressed down with terrifying force, Shen Ruyan, in a critical moment, transformed into her Thunder God True Body.
Breaking through all obstacles in an unexpected move, she turned into a bolt of lightning, piercing through the descending mountain core, and aimed her sword at Saint Titan Peak.
“Nine Suns Scorching Flames, Burn!”
But just then, nine divine flames appeared in the sky, like nine stars in a row, blocking Shen Ruyan’s path.
It was Saint Inferno who made his move at this crucial moment.
Facing this spell attack, even Shen Ruyan’s Thunder Spirit True Body had to evade.
In this first exchange, neither Shen Ruyan nor the three Demon Beast Saints could claim an advantage.
But on other battlefields, the situation was not so optimistic.
The demon beasts’ encirclement strategy was either based on realm suppression or numerical superiority,
And those like Shen Ruyan, capable of fighting above their realm, were exceedingly rare.
After just one exchange, many were already at a disadvantage,
And even among the human Dao Integration cultivators, some were wounded under the joint assault of two or three Demon Beast Saints.
Seeing this, Shen Ruyan was anxious but felt helpless.
But at that moment, a jolt of happiness rose in her heart.
Looking up, she saw a terrifying beam of five-colored divine light flying from the distant sky, its might astonishing.
This attack was terrifying, arriving in an instant,
At the battlefield where Saint Flying Heaven of the Haoran Sect was in dire straits, just as the enemy was about to slay him, the five-colored divine light passed, and the Dao Integration Demon Saint exploded on the spot.
Just one strike had slain a Dao Integration Demon Saint!
Such a feat was perhaps beyond even the average Dao Mastery Saint.
“Husband!”
From the distant sky, a figure approached swiftly, and Shen Ruyan called out in joy and surprise.
At the critical moment, Jiang Chengxuan came out of seclusion and rushed over to save the situation.
His first move upon arrival was to slay one of the enemy’s Dao Integration Demon Saints,
Undoubtedly, after this period of seclusion and breakthrough into Dao Fusion, Jiang Chengxuan had become a true Dao Fusion powerhouse.
“Chengxuan!”
Leng Yuehua, Wen Yuxiao, Saint Flying Heaven, and others all exclaimed in joy.
The cultivators of the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley were thrilled, feeling as if they had been granted a new lease on life from a desperate situation.
“My friends, I’m back! I hope I’m not too late!”
Jiang Chengxuan quickly joined his comrades, his expression firm and brimming with a fighting spirit.
He had actually felt the enemy breaching the barrier earlier,
But to gather more strength, he timed his return perfectly for this moment.
Fortunately, it was just in time.
Moreover, he had perfectly consolidated his Dao Fusion realm, bringing himself to the peak of his abilities.
Thus, he was able to execute that strike of five-colored divine light, instantly annihilating a Dao Integration enemy with a single blow.
It was a perfect strike from the peak, a culmination of all his powers and state.
This time, the Eastern Sky Domain finally had its true leader return at the most critical moment.
Within the ranks of the demon beast army, the five Demon Beast Saints looked at Jiang Chengxuan, whose aura had changed dramatically from before, and all showed grave expressions.
