Chapter 1825: Astonishing Growth, The Heart of the Deadly Strike 2
Ao Jian Xianzun, who had once sparred with Jiang Chengxuan, was dumbfounded—both shocked and exhilarated. Though he had always held Jiang Chengxuan in high regard, even he hadn’t expected him to reach such heights.
“Indeed, I wasn’t mistaken… In that earlier battle, the young man clearly hadn’t even unleashed his full strength…” At this moment, even the venerable Tianjian Elder’s eyes gleamed with sharp insight as he murmured to himself.
From beginning to end, Jiang Chengxuan had appeared calm and unshaken, as if completely unfazed by the might of the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal. With the elder’s vast experience, he knew this was no reckless bravado, but a sign of true confidence and mastery.
Now, Jiang Chengxuan displayed an astonishing level of combat prowess, matching the ruthless strikes of the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal blow for blow.
“Fortunately! Daoist Jiang’s strength is indeed extraordinary! He won’t let that demon succeed!” Under these circumstances, Yun Tian and Yun Di both exhaled in relief, their racing hearts gradually calming.
There was no doubt: Jiang Chengxuan’s survival last time was due entirely to his own power, not mere luck.
“Demonic Might Shakes the Heavens!”
Yet in an instant, the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal, troubled and suspicious, unleashed a mighty divine ability. Under the ever-increasing pressure of his Golden Immortal aura, a vast, sky-darkening cloud of demonic energy spread like a giant hand eclipsing the deep void.
Invisible to all but sensed by the soul, a massive demonic silhouette materialized at the edge of the cosmos, glaring fiercely as it let loose a roar filled with primal terror!
This divine ability required no overwhelming cultivation power; instead, it relied on the intangible suppression created by their disparity in realm.
It was one of the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal’s secret finishing moves, prepared specifically to suppress Jiang Chengxuan.
Though it lacked earth-shattering immortal power, it condensed the Golden Immortal’s pressure, unleashing an attack rivaling the strength of a true Golden Immortal!
“Hiss—Golden Immortal power! The Arterial Blood Demon Immortal came prepared!”
“Jiang Chengxuan is in grave danger now. How can he possibly withstand genuine Golden Immortal force?”
Sensing this overwhelming power, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart grew heavy. Without hesitation, he waved his hand, and from the depths of the mysterious realm, a surge of immortal light shot skyward.
“Hum—!”
Amid an ethereal hum, a nine-colored divine lotus bloomed behind Jiang Chengxuan. Amidst the profound radiant glow, a vibrant Bodhi tree swayed gently, emanating an astonishingly vast immortal power!
This was the Nine-Wondrous Bodhi Lotus Lamp. After arriving here, Jiang Chengxuan was unleashing this Golden Immortal treasure for the first time, once again stunning everyone present.
Under the lamp’s power, Jiang Chengxuan’s aura soared rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he ascended to the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm! At a glance, he now rivaled the suppressed Arterial Blood Demon Immortal in strength!
“Rumble!”
Amid the astonished gazes of all spectators, a violent surge of heavenly light erupted, devouring the darkness of the deep void within a radius of thousands of miles.
This wild force rent the spatial fabric, summoning countless thunderclaps as the stars themselves collided and exploded, turning into a vast cloud of dust and shimmering light!
“Is this… still the power of a Profound Immortal!?”
“A Golden Immortal treasure? Such a grand display!”
“What is Jiang Chengxuan’s true identity, to possess such a treasure!”
In an instant, many immortals were stunned, struggling to breathe under the weight of Jiang Chengxuan’s sudden demonstration of power.
They recognized the formidable energy of the Nine-Wondrous Bodhi Lotus Lamp and were dumbfounded, never imagining Jiang Chengxuan would wield such a treasure!
Aside from the few from the Arterial Blood Sect, Ao Jian Xianzun and Lie Jian Xianzun stared wide-eyed, especially the latter, who was speechless. They hadn’t expected Jiang Chengxuan to conceal such a trump card during the fierce battle just now.
It was easy to imagine: had Jiang Chengxuan fought with full force to suppress them, that tortuous fight would have ended instantly!
“How much more has this guy been hiding!”
Everyone’s hearts trembled, including the likes of Beast Storage Demon Lord and others. With each move Jiang Chengxuan made, he grew astonishingly fast.
Strangely, they began to worry: Could it be that their ancestors, with all their cunning and schemes, still couldn’t suppress this monster?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Denying this possibility, the Beast Storage Lord and the others insisted internally that with the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal’s involvement, Jiang Chengxuan must die here today!
“This brat’s power has grown again!”
As if sensing this in unison, deep within the dense, world-shrouding chaotic streams, the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal thought the same.
After two exchanges, he confirmed Jiang Chengxuan’s strength had improved, especially the mysterious golden scripture, now to a degree even he could not ignore!
He knew he hadn’t held back this time, yet Jiang Chengxuan still forcefully countered.
“This child must not live!”
“Dark Grim Scythe! Execute!”
Understanding the dark intent behind this, the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal’s killing intent grew heavier.
He was resolute that even if it meant offending other Golden Immortals, he must end Jiang Chengxuan’s life here—this might be his last chance!
The speed of this youth’s growth was terrifying beyond measure!
“Rip—!”
In the depths of the cosmic void, a bone scythe forged from skeletal bones reappeared—this was the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal’s true Golden Immortal treasure. Once unleashed, its sharpness and oppressive aura dominated the battlefield, tearing a massive rift through the chaos, revealing waves of nothingness.
“Let’s see if you can still endure this!”
Immediately, the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal pushed his immortal power to its limit.
Behind him, the demonic energy coalesced into a faint, shadowy cosmic void, endlessly pouring power into the ominous bone scythe, summoning terrifying demonic sounds.
In an instant, the entire cosmic pit was plunged into pure darkness; all light was swallowed, causing the Tianjian Elder’s eyes to narrow sharply.
Such a surge in power was enough to almost break the restrictions the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal had set for himself, pushing him dangerously close to the Golden Immortal level!
But he controlled this threshold precisely, keeping it just within the rules, like a fragile sheet of paper barely intact.
Because of this, the Tianjian Elder remained unable to intervene in this battle, but the peril Jiang Chengxuan faced had multiplied several times!
“Slash!”
Swift as thought, the terrifying dark cosmic shadow swept down as the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal swung the bone scythe toward Jiang Chengxuan.
In that blur, spectators seemed to see invisible layers being sliced—layers of universal law, even space and time themselves!
This slash was undoubtedly a deadly strike, the strongest attack the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal could muster under suppression.
Its power was enough to make even Golden Immortals wary, lest they suffer grievous wounds.
“How terrifying a force! The Arterial Blood Demon Immortal has truly drawn blood!”
“This strike is so fearsome; an offensive Golden Immortal treasure surpasses the rest! Jiang Chengxuan is doomed!”
“No good! Can Daoist Jiang still hold on?”
This scene chilled all the onlookers, plunging them into an icy despair.
The Arterial Blood Demon Immortal’s displayed power was at a hopeless level.
Putting themselves in Jiang Chengxuan’s place, none believed they could withstand the blow; they would surely perish, their souls scattered.
Even Yun Tian and Yun Di, who had always believed in Jiang Chengxuan, held their breath, eyes bloodshot, unable to bear witnessing his fate.
Though Jiang Chengxuan once claimed to have survived the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal’s grasp unharmed, they still had no idea of the true circumstances—perhaps it was just a fortunate coincidence, a fleeting moment of luck?
