Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 988: Securing Victory

Editor: Henyee Translations

The fall of two Elemental Giants caused significant chaos on the battlefield, turning around a previously dire situation in an instant. Both the Water and Fire Elemental Giants were severely wounded, while the Thunder and Wind Giants also showed signs of decline.

The Four Elements’ power, originally complementing and enhancing each other, had fallen into complete disarray under the influence of the Samsara Dao. This meant that even elemental beings would struggle to harness their powers here, leading to a further 10-20% decrease in the giants’ strength.

This unexpected boon was a welcome advantage for Jiang Chengxuan.

Given that the trial area was limited to just one platform but hosted four giants, each wielding different elemental powers, the violent forces were hard to contain, resulting in the chaotic outcome. Whether this was a deliberate design by the immortal cave abode or a loophole exploited by Jiang Chengxuan was unclear.

As the Fire and Water Elemental Giants fell, Jiang Chengxuan did not waste the opportunity. Without any hesitation, he immediately pressed the attack.

Holding the Golden Void Sword in one hand and readying the Five Elements Light with the other, he swiftly moved to confront the Fire Elemental Giant. The giant’s massive body, already pierced by a large hole from the Water Dao, revealed a core of magma-like life force flowing within—these were the energies sustaining the giant’s life, its Achilles’ heel.

As Jiang Chengxuan approached, the Fire Elemental Giant seemed to sense its impending doom and roared defiantly. A scorching gale swept over Jiang, making him feel as if he was standing in a volcano. However, such attacks were clearly insufficient to stop Jiang’s killing move.

With a single hand forming a spell, he unleashed the Five Colors Annihilation Light, transforming it into a multicolored blade that instantly pierced through the Fire Giant’s core, severing its life source.

As the life-giving energies were cut off, the Fire Elemental Giant struggled in agony, eventually letting out a pained roar as it gradually turned into a statue of red stone. The ancient runes that maintained its form burst forth with dazzling light, dispersing into the surroundings.

Only then did the remaining three Elemental Giants, unable to contain their rage, readjust their stances and launch a renewed assault on Jiang with their Dao Mastery powers.

However, their movements were clearly not as formidable as before due to their injuries. The elemental forces they unleashed were also noticeably weaker than before.

Despite feeling some fatigue, Jiang Chengxuan appeared to remain in peak combat condition. Facing the onslaught of the three Elemental Giants, he did not retreat. Instead, he transformed the Golden Void Sword into the Deep Earth Halbert, wielding it with both hands to deliver a sweeping strike towards the giants.

Behind him, the images of dragons and elephants emerged, with the Samsara Dao and Five Elements Dao manifesting and enchanting the halberd.

At this moment, he unleashed a strike powerful enough to cleave the very void, the Deep Earth Halbert bearing the weight of a billion tons, causing the air itself to crack and explode upon contact with the Elemental Giants.

Rumble!

A small sun seemed to explode in the void, releasing endless light and energy that overturned everything.

A terrible storm erupted on the ancient platform, the entire area shaking under the impact of the strike. The Water Elemental Giant, already critically wounded, could not withstand the force and was sent flying by the dragon-elephant power.

However, the strike did not stop there. After sending the Water Giant flying, the momentum of the Deep Earth Halbert continued unabated, sweeping towards the Wind Elemental Giant.

The forces of the Wind Dao and the Five Elements Dao collided around the fulcrum of the halberd, neither yielding, causing another massive upheaval in the void.

Rumble!

As Jiang Chengxuan engaged in fierce combat with the Wind Elemental Giant, suddenly a surge of thunder exploded. Purple lightning formed a massive hammer in the hands of the Thunder Elemental Giant, which it swung to shatter the void towards Jiang.

The thick lightning, filled with terrifying destructive power, continuously erupted from the hammer, ravaging the void.

The element of Thunder, known for its supreme lethality, made this strike particularly potent, akin to the peak of Dao mastery.

At a critical moment, right where the halberd and storm clashed, a massive explosion erupted, sending a powerful shockwave through the area.

Jiang Chengxuan seized the opportunity, riding the wind to rise up, forcibly dodging the Thunder Giant’s catastrophic blow.

Moreover, this time, as he dodged, Jiang Chengxuan did not unleash any power; he remained ready to strike.

After their initial burst of energy, the three Elemental Giants entered a brief period of weakness. Jiang, with his acute perception, immediately seized this moment. Manifesting the Samsara Dao, he descended from the air, and once again, his Deep Earth Halbert stirred up a ferocious torrent as he aimed a devastating overhead strike at the Thunder Elemental Giant.

This blow, imbued with the power to reverse Samsara, slammed forcefully onto the Thunder Giant’s crown. The force of Samsara penetrated the giant’s body, and with the colossal strength of the halberd, internal and external forces erupted in conflict.

The clash of these forces abruptly severed the Thunder Giant’s life source, eliciting a reluctant roar as its body electrified, pushing Jiang Chengxuan back. In its final moments, the giant concentrated all its remaining elemental thunder into its palm, preparing a devastating palm thunder strike aimed at Jiang Chengxuan, poised to unleash it.

In a split second, Jiang Chengxuan tensed, ready to intercept this last desperate attack. However, just as he braced himself, the palm thunder spiraled out of control, blasting into the void instead of its intended target. The Thunder Giant, its energy depleted and control lost, solidified into a statue of purple stone and crumbled.

With the Thunder Giant’s fall, only the Water and Wind Giants remained, both barely clinging to existence on the ancient platform. The incredible battle that had seen Jiang Chengxuan facing off against four formidable Dao Mastery beings had now decisively tipped in his favor.

In terms of single combat prowess, the Elemental Giants were no match for Jiang Chengxuan, especially with only the last two giants left standing, undoubtedly heralding Jiang Chengxuan’s victory.

The subsequent fight lacked suspense as both the Water and Wind Giants were gravely injured. Facing the still-dominant Jiang Chengxuan, defeat was inevitable for them.

Under these circumstances, with the Elemental Giants’ limited combat thinking, there was no possibility for a turnaround.
