Chapter 1079: Blocking the Path
Editor: Henyee Translations
Standing just outside the void of the demonic sectâs main base, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan quickly received messages from various battlefields that they were prevailing.
Together, they estimated that about twenty percent of the array flags for the Absolute Heaven Array set up by the demonic sect had already been destroyed by the righteous side.
Clearly, this outcome indicated one thing: the overall strength of the righteous side completely overwhelmed that of the demonic sect.
âIt seems the demon immortal chose the wrong allies,â Jiang Chengxuan commented with a smile, his mood lightened under such advantageous circumstances, enough to joke about it.
âYes, when the demonic sectâs forces retreat here, it will be our time to act,â Shen Ruyan slowly replied.
Their purpose in coming to the demonic sectâs main base was twofold. First, to investigate the messages related to the celestial catastrophe and to probe the demon immortalâs schemes, which they had now accomplished. Second, to intercept the demonic forces here as they retreated, pinning them between two fronts to finalize the battle.
According to Jiang Chengxuan and othersâ discussion, the only retreat route for the demonic sect under disadvantage would be to return here.
Beyond the borders of the demonic sectâs territory lay the realms controlled by the righteous path. Even if the high-ranking cultivators were almost all present here, they would not dare to escape rashly.
And indeed, that was the case. Reports from the battlefield indicated that once the demonic sectâs troops realized they were beaten, they fought retreating battles, gradually consolidating towards their position.
After so many years of conflict with the demonic sect, the righteous path of the Floodgate realm had a firm grasp on the enemyâs tactics.
âAll thatâs left is to give it time,â Jiang Chengxuan murmured, and time quietly passed.
One day, while they were resting in this location, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finally sensed a large group of cultivators approaching from miles away. Among them were numerous beings above the union realm, and even the number of Daolords exceeded two digits.
The ultimate battlefield between the righteous sects and the demonic forces had finally arrived at this location. All factions from both sides had gathered here, a scene of astonishing magnitude. Such a battle was unprecedented in the history of the Floodgate realm.
Observing everything from the void, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan felt boundless spirits rising within them. After such a long wait, today, they could finally make their move and bring a decisive conclusion to this epic battle.
âHurry! As long as we return to the main sect and contact the demon immortal, we still have hope!â
âThese damned righteous cultivators, one day, I will turn you all into puppets!â
At the forefront of the retreating demonic forces, several streaks of light flew quickly, led by the well-known figures to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan: Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost, accompanied by five other Daolords of the demonic sect.
After facing consecutive defeats and knowing they couldnât reverse the downward spiral, they led their followers in a collective retreat. They believed that within the demonic sectâs main base, there was still a chance for turnaround, having unwavering faith in that eminent beingâs capabilities.
But then, a very calm voice emerged, causing the complexions of these demonic Daolords to drastically change.
âFellows, Iâve been waiting a long time for you. How have you been?â
This familiar voice immediately shocked Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost, filling them with immense fear.
Two figures slowly emerged from the void, blocking all the demonic Daolordsâ paths, manifesting terrifyingly powerful Dao forces that overshadowed the heavens.
Needless to say, these figures were none other than Shen Ruyan and Jiang Chengxuan.
âJiang Chengxuan! Shen Ruyan!â
Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost shouted ferociously.
Hearing these names, the other demonic Daolords also shook in shock. In an instant, they realized they had fallen into a trap.
Without any hesitation, they exploded with all their Dao rule, launching a ferocious assault on the two, decisively.
At this critical moment of life and death, despite feeling despair, they could not afford to give up, and if they wanted to return to the demonic sect, they had no choice but to eliminate these two adversaries.
The Dao forces of five Daolords manifested simultaneously in the void, their different powers charging through the cosmos, pressing down oppressively.
This power caused the void to crack instantaneously, shaking the world.
Even for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, this moment demanded full concentration as they manifested the Dao rule of Life and Death, merging their powers to meet the attack head-on.
The clash of seven great Dao Lord forces was terrifying; their collision caused an unprecedented explosion in the void, giving birth to nothingness that devoured everything.
The shockwave from this encounter even shook the entire Floodgate realm.
At this moment, Qin Shenwu and others, aware that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had engaged with the enemy, unleashed their full strength and traversed the void to join the battle.
âHurry! Push them back, or weâll be completely encircled,â bellowed Daolord Skeleton. He manifested dozens of skeletal phantasms in a suicidal attack, desperate to break through.
The rest of the demonic Daolords, sensing the urgency, also unleashed their most powerful divine abilities, striving to repel Jiang and Shen quickly.
A barrage of supreme divine powers erupted, and in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, an endless torrent of energy swept through.
âFive-Colored Nirvana Lotus, manifest!â
In an instant, Jiang Chengxuan held nothing back. His Five Elements Dao rule peaked as a multicolored world emerged around them with a divine lotus materializing from thin air, pressing down on the surroundings and manifesting miraculous visions.
Then, the five supreme powers reversed, causing causality to flow backward, and terrifying Dharmic power erupted at that moment.
The Five-Colored Nirvana Lotus faced the onslaught of the five demonic Daolordsâ divine powers head-on.
In that instant, the sky lost its color, and the entire demonic sectâs territory was lit as if it were daylight.
Nothingness emerged in the void, creating what seemed like a breach in the demonic land. Countless chaotic energies poured out, contaminating everything around.
Jiang Chengxuan single-handedly blocked the attack of five Daolords, a scene of staggering impact.
In an instant, all the demonic Daolords felt a sense of unreality, disbelief etched across their faces.
Being of equal rank, why could this man achieve such feats?
Without time for further thought, the next moment, a Primordial Divine Thunder from Shen Ruyan shattered the nothingness, striking like a torrential galaxy.
This sudden attack, no less powerful than Jiang Chengxuanâs, caught the demonic Daolords off-guard. They roared in unison, unleashing their Dao forces in defense.
