Chapter 1809: Competition Rules, Chaos Unleashed (Part 2)

Elder Yunshi and the others all frowned in contemplation, while Elder Tianjian sharply questioned:

“Are we Golden Immortals just supposed to stand by and watch?”

Clearly, with his domineering personality, he was eager to take part personally and test himself against the other immortals.

“Hehe, if all of you wish to act, naturally it is permitted. But bullying the juniors—now that would be unjust, wouldn’t it?”

In response, the Dreadwalker Immortal smiled, playing the part of a benevolent elder.

“Hmph, I certainly wouldn’t stoop so low as to strike the younger generation. But in my view, if we Golden Immortals clash, the victor should earn five points—what say you?”

Elder Tianjian furrowed his brows as he spoke, putting forth a new suggestion.

This would give the Golden Immortals greater influence over the outcome and allow them to have a decisive impact.

Such an adjustment seemed far more fitting for someone like him, who was already itching to fight.

“This Sovereign agrees. Why not have us suppress our cultivation to the Profound Immortal level and challenge others under the same conditions? That would be better!

Leaving the outcome entirely to the juniors is far too frivolous!”

Unexpectedly, the Bloodfiend Demon Immortal chimed in with support, his eyes gleaming sharply as he added a twist to the rules, all the while casting a sideways glance toward Jiang Chengxuan.

There was no question: in this entire competition, the person he most feared was Jiang Chengxuan.

He had personally tasted the youth’s power—so potent that even he, a Golden Immortal, had to face him with full force. It was needless to say what would happen to others like the Beast-Hidden Demon Venerable under Jiang’s hand—they’d likely fare no better.

If he couldn’t intervene personally, the side with the highest chance of winning was undoubtedly the Cloudmist Immortal Sect.

As the arch-rival of the Cloudmist, how could he possibly allow that?

“Very well. Since the two of you are in agreement, so be it.

Elder Yun, what’s your opinion?”

Facing pressure from both sides, the Dreadwalker Immortal didn’t particularly mind the change—his main concern was ending the stalemate. The exact rules didn’t matter so long as they were fair.

As Elder Tianjian and the Bloodfiend Immortal stared him down, Elder Yunshi considered their proposal and eventually nodded in agreement.

No matter what, their views aligned—so long as it was fair, then let there be war!

What’s more, he knew full well that they held an ace up their sleeve—Jiang Chengxuan.

Given Jiang’s prior feats, even if the Bloodfiend Immortal suppressed his realm to the Profound Immortal stage and tried to trouble him, the outcome would still be uncertain.

And so, with a few simple words, the terms were set.

The four factions stood poised in the dark void, battle aura clashing, lightning nearly bursting forth from the tension.

With the rules finalized, the elders of each sect became the center of attention. All were on high alert, their fighting spirit flaring as they scouted out potential opponents with unwavering gazes.

At Jiang Chengxuan’s side, Cloudsky and Cloudearth’s auras shifted dramatically—fierce and violent, their eyes burning with fire.

To these Grand Elders, whose devotion to their sect outweighed life itself, nothing stirred the blood more than a righteous sect-wide duel.

Even Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help being affected by the atmosphere.

Though merely a guest summoned by Elder Yunshi, he wouldn’t hold back when it came time to contribute.

After all, should they earn the Golden Immortal’s enlightenment treasure in the end, he trusted Elder Yunshi’s character to allocate rewards fairly. Jiang was confident he’d get his share.

“No more idle chatter—let it begin!”

“Those who wish to battle, choose your opponents! Keh keh keh!”

The tense silence was broken by the Dreadwalker Immortal, whose sinister laughter echoed like a blade across the heavens.

“I am Darkvoid Venerable of the Dreadwalker Sect. I would like to challenge you!”

Almost as if on cue, a figure stepped forward from the Dreadwalker Immortal Sect. Tall and lanky, clad in flowing green robes, the man had the air of a strange, otherworldly being.

His chosen target? None other than Cloudsky, standing beside Jiang Chengxuan.

“I am Proud Sword Venerable of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I seek a bout with Beast-Hidden Demon Venerable!”

“Hmph! I, Cloudearth of the Cloudmist Sect, challenge the Dreadwalker Sect!”

“I am Wild Blade Demon Venerable of the Bloodfiend Sect! Let us see whether your sword is sharper than my blade!”

That first declaration seemed to ignite a chain reaction.

Voices rang out in quick succession from all factions, each one issuing or accepting a challenge without hesitation.

In a flash, four duels were locked in for the first round:

Darkvoid Venerable vs. Cloudsky

Proud Sword Venerable vs. Beast-Hidden Demon Venerable

Cloudearth vs. a Dreadwalker Sect member

Wild Blade Demon Venerable vs. a Heavenly Sword Sect member

None declined the fights. Each immediately flared their immortal energy and launched into the sky like shooting stars, seeking out their opponents.

Before the watching crowd, the combatants summoned their inner realms almost simultaneously.

WOMM—! WOMM—! WOMM—!

With strange vibrations and surging power, energy storms erupted as phantom realms bloomed into existence—brilliant, ominous, demonic, or radiant—shrouding the battlefield in chaos and obscuring the skies.

“Careful now!”

“Take this!”

“My apologies!”

In mere instants, the battles ignited. Each side clashed with full force, no one holding back, each unleashing their most powerful techniques.

The roaring tides of immortal power shook the heavens, radiant light surging into the void like a descending galaxy—vast and magnificent.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chengxuan remained standing alone, calmly watching the unfolding chaos in the void.

His attention was focused on Cloudsky and Cloudearth’s battles.

Facing Cloudsky was a Dreadwalker Venerable Jiang had never seen before—Darkvoid.

But the man’s technique was unmistakably part of the same Dreadwalker arts Jiang had faced before.

In an instant, boundless purple light surged behind Cloudsky, condensing into a massive purple moon.

He summoned his celestial treasure—a mighty violet seal—and clad himself in moonlight armor.

The fierce lunar radiance surged forth like a tidal wave, tearing swathes through the darkness.

Yet Darkvoid Venerable was no slouch. Prepared in advance, he too summoned his immortal treasure.

In a blink, his personal realm—a pitch-black abyss—swallowed heaven and earth, plunging the world into night.

Just like the Dreadwalker arts Jiang had fought before, Darkvoid’s figure flickered and disappeared into the shadows, completely vanishing without a trace.

BOOM—

Cloudsky’s opening strike missed, and in the next heartbeat, Darkvoid reappeared behind him, thrusting a jet-black trident straight at Cloudsky’s back!

It all happened in mere breaths.

Even Jiang Chengxuan had only defeated this kind of stealth by relying on intricate calculations—detecting the Dreadwalker techniques wasn’t easy.

WOMM—!

Fortunately, at that critical moment, the moonlight armor on Cloudsky shone brightly.

As the deadly strike was about to land, the armor’s rune flared and unleashed an immense force!

A full moon-like shield materialized, enveloping Cloudsky and neutralizing the blow just in time.

Still, the close call sent a chill through Cloudsky’s heart—he had truly felt death brush past him.
