Chapter 899: Intense Battle, Breaking the Realm Wall?
Editor: Henyee Translations
As Saint Rosy Cloud made her move, she showcased the might of a Dao Fusion Saint.
Terrifying demonic energy transformed into a colorful demonic cloud, enveloping the sky and attacking like a covering darkness.
This demonic energy possessed a highly peculiar nature, turning the barren and desolate land into a bizarrely colored wasteland, evidently imbued with some kind of potent poison.
Jiang Chengxuan immediately summoned his intrinsic heaven-connecting spiritual treasure, the Five Elements Diagram, which radiated five-colored divine light.
It transformed into a barrier, perfectly blocking the attack.
The battle was ignited instantly with this exchange serving as the signal.
Besides the three Demon Saints focusing on breaking the barrier, countless demon beasts roared and launched their assault in a flash.
“Ruyan, take some people to set up the protective array. We’ll distract the enemy here from breaking through,” Jiang Chengxuan instructed Shen Ruyan.
After a brief caution to be careful, Shen Ruyan immediately led a group to set up the protective array.
The priority was to ensure the barrier remained intact.
As long as the barrier stood, the demon beasts could not leverage their size advantage in combat, allowing the defenders to both attack and retreat, relying on the barrier’s protection.
Thus, the barrier was the focal point of the battle.
“Use all your strength to cover for the array!” Jiang Chengxuan commanded.
In an instant, his allies summoned their various spiritual treasures, arrays, and spells, creating a spectacle of brilliant colors.
From the demon beast race, several more Dao Integration Demon Saints flew out, unleashing their innate divine powers and bloodline powers across the barrier to strike!
The battle erupted in moments!
With the barrier in place, both sides could only engage in a fierce bombardment.
Massive spells traversed the void, colliding and exploding in mid-air.
The once empty and desolate Eastern Sky Domain suddenly became a battlefield marked by visibility.
A series of explosions echoed through the void, like meteor showers colliding in the starry sky, causing stars to be obliterated.
Fire, thunder, ice, poison clouds, fierce winds, and floods – diverse elements were used like cannonballs, continuously hurled at the opponent.
This didn’t resemble a cultivators’ war but more a mortal siege.
Jiang Chengxuan also spared no effort, deploying various treasures and spells.
True Sunfire scorched the demon beasts, Cloud Piercers and Illusion Bells disrupted the enemies’ minds, causing significant casualties instantly.
After the first wave of bombardment, both sides suffered casualties, especially the demon beast race, as many demon beasts were large targets, making them more vulnerable in such a confrontation.
Soon, everyone found their adversaries.
Several Dao Integration elders from the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley were quickly targeted by Demon Saints, while Saint Rosy Cloud engaged Jiang Chengxuan, entangling him in her attack.
Opening her massive maw, Rosy Cloud unleashed wave after wave of colorful demonic clouds.
Jiang Chengxuan once again summoned the Five Elements Diagram, effectively blocking the attack from outside.
This exchange revealed to Rosy Cloud the strength of her opponent, as her tried-and-true divine power of producing poisonous clouds was easily thwarted.
Recovering the Five Elements Diagram, Jiang Chengxuan also sensed the difficulty of his adversary.
The poisonous nature of the cloud was fierce, and upon testing, he found that aside from the Five Elements Diagram, his other methods were insufficient to perfectly block it.
This meant he had to be cautious in his approach, as any other spiritual treasure could be damaged or even degraded upon contact with the poisonous cloud.
If not for the Five Elements Diagram’s help, dealing with this serpent Demon Saint would have been problematic.
“We absolutely cannot allow her to breach the barrier,” Jiang Chengxuan thought to himself.
Should Saint Rosy Cloud penetrate the barrier, spreading her poisonous cloud, the Haoran Sect would suffer grievously.
After a brief standoff, both acknowledged the other’s strength, pausing the fight, realizing a direct confrontation wouldn’t easily resolve their conflict.
However, time was not on Jiang Chengxuan’s side.
While Saint Pingnan and other Demon Saints continued their assault on the barrier, Shen Ruyan needed more time to set up the protective array.
The enemy’s breach had to be halted.
Suddenly, Leng Yuehua flew in, landing beside Jiang Chengxuan,
“Chengxuan, you go stop the enemies from breaking through the barrier. I’ll handle this Sky-Swallowing Serpent.”
Clearly, she understood the battle’s crux lay in the barrier’s integrity.
“Alright. This Five Elements Diagram’s shield can block the enemy’s poisonous fog. Be careful, Elder Leng.”
Jiang Chengxuan readily accepted Leng Yuehua’s suggestion.
Leaving a fraction of the Five Elements Diagram’s power with her should suffice to counter Saint Rosy Cloud’s strength without issue.
“Good.”
In an instant, Jiang Chengxuan transformed into a beam of light, heading to another part of the battlefield.
Saint Rosy Cloud attempted an intercepting attack, but Leng Yuehua repelled it with a single sword strike, leaving Saint Rosy Cloud to watch Jiang Chengxuan depart with cold serpent eyes.
…
The bombardment from Saint Pingnan and others persisted.
With each attack, small cracks spread across the barrier, teetering on the brink of rupture.
“Deep Earth Halberd.”
Suddenly, a massive shadow crossed the barrier, descending upon them with the weight of celestial bodies, entwined with the phantom images of dragons and elephants.
Even against the immense bodies of the Demon Saints, the Deep Earth Halberd was not overshadowed, forcefully pressing down.
Jiang Chengxuan targeted Saint Titan Peak, who was caught off guard while wielding the Mountain Core and was forcefully repelled hundreds of miles by the halberd’s impact.
ROAR!
Saint Titan Peak roared in anger, only then did the three Dao Fusion Demon Saints notice Jiang Chengxuan’s arrival.
“If you want to break through the barrier, you’ll have to get past me first!”
Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan unleashed the Golden Divine Light, attacking the three Demon Saints simultaneously.
“The audacity of humans!” Saint Inferno, incensed by his boldness, was the first to react, opening his maw to unleash divine flames, transforming into nine fiery lions charging towards Jiang Chengxuan.
Rumble!
Under Jiang Chengxuan’s control, the Golden Divine Light eliminated four of the flame lions, and then he summoned a swamp of water to extinguish the remaining five.
When Saint Titan Peak attempted to continue breaching the barrier with the Mountain Core, Jiang Chengxuan summoned the Deep Earth Halberd once again and repelled him hundreds of miles away.
With this exchange, Jiang Chengxuan successfully halted two Demon Saints from further damaging the barrier.
However, at that moment, Saint Pingnan let out a muffled roar.
Enduring Jiang Chengxuan’s Golden Divine Light, the horns on his head suddenly erupted with incredible power.
“MOO—!”
This attack wasn’t directed at Jiang Chengxuan. Saint Pingnan’s massive body suddenly leaped forward, aiming for the barrier now filled with cracks!
This move, his innate divine power “Equalize Heaven and Earth,” possessed the power to override all other forces, demonstrating the principle of overcoming myriad strategies with sheer force.
Rumble!
The realm barrier, weakened by sustained attacks, emitted a sound akin to a mountain collapsing under this assault.
Then, under the watchful eyes of all present, a crack over ten meters long slowly formed beneath Saint Pingnan’s horns!
Was the Floodgate Realm barrier about to be breached?
In that moment, a chill ran through everyone’s hearts as the small crack seemed to manifest within them as well.
