Chapter 1835: Wits and Courage, Trapping the Treasure
“Not a chance!”
Seeing this, Yun Tian and Yun Di naturally tried to block them, unleashing the power of the purple moonlight and summoning their immortal treasures. But the Wild Blade Demon Lord and Ten Thousand Ghosts Demon Lord had anticipated this and struck first, rushing to intercept them.
“Your opponents are us, old men!”
“Hmph! Scum from the Arrogant Blood Sect, a bunch of losers!”
Immediately, the two sides clashed like bitter enemies meeting, eyes blazing with hatred, sparing no mercy.
The Purple Moon Treasure Seal suppressed the void as a brilliant moon-shaped blade tore through the darkness, cutting straight toward the Wild Blade Demon Lord and Ten Thousand Ghosts Demon Lord.
In response, one demon lord wielded a demonic blade, slashing a blood-red abyss, while the other raised a soul banner, summoning countless fierce ghosts to devour souls, crashing headlong into their foes.
“Boom!”
Without hesitation, the four of them became entangled in fierce battle, unleashing a storm of demonic energy and raging purple moonlight that covered hundreds of miles, thunder roaring endlessly.
“Buzz—!”
Taking advantage of the distraction caused by the Wild Blade Demon Lord and Ten Thousand Ghosts Demon Lord, the three elders of the Shadow Dark Profound Sect finally unleashed their Ghost Walk Technique.
A humming sound arose as the three merged into the void, silently and swiftly traversing hundreds of miles of deep space in pursuit of Jiang Chengxuan.
However, after so many delays, Jiang Chengxuan had already distanced himself far beyond everyone else and was now very close to the fragment of the Golden Immortal Enlightenment.
Before the barrier formed by the Ten Thousand World Manifest Sacred Scriptures, the scattered glimmers of enlightenment light drifted down like snow, leaving a faint shimmering path.
“What a refined essence of enlightenment!”
Surrounded by this mysterious aura, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but marvel, his eyes burning bright.
Even being this close to the Golden Immortal Enlightenment fragment activated his own Dao laws, sharpening his awareness until it felt as if he understood all things.
Though this piece of Golden Immortal Enlightenment was much smaller than the two fragments being chased by the Golden Immortals—less than half their size—if he could absorb it directly, it would greatly increase his chances of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm.
“Come to me!”
Time passed agonizingly slowly as Jiang Chengxuan approached the fragment. Without hesitation, his aura suddenly surged as the Nine Mystical Bodhi Lotus Lantern powered up with full force.
In an instant, the Ten Thousand World Manifest Sacred Scriptures, which had formed a protective barrier around him, began to churn violently. Under his will, they wove into a magnificent net of light.
With Jiang Chengxuan’s speed skyrocketing, he moved directly over the fragment. Like a heavenly and earthly web, the net rapidly expanded, engulfing the fragment of Golden Immortal Enlightenment.
The powerful sealing force of the Ten Thousand World Manifest Sacred Scriptures affected space and time alike, causing the fragment to slow and become sluggish.
Under Jiang Chengxuan’s exquisite control, the net wrapped around the fragment perfectly, as if he were casting a giant net to capture a golden comet.
The comet was as large as a small hill, but in Jiang Chengxuan’s hands and within the net, it was firmly held, visibly slowing down.
A divine radiance flickered around it, sometimes surging brightly, illuminating the depths of space. Thread-like chains of light suppressed the fragment’s dissipating aura little by little.
“Bring it in!”
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes sharpened as he cleared his mind and unleashed all his immortal power, standing as if holding up the heavens, pulling the giant net tightly.
“Boom!”
A thunderous roar echoed, like rapid drumbeats. The void beneath Jiang Chengxuan’s feet warped, ripples of spatial waves spreading out and shaking heaven and earth.
Under such terrifying power, the comet-like fragment trembled and immediately halted, hovering in place and spinning, unable to break free from the sealing power of the Ten Thousand World Manifest Sacred Scriptures.
At this critical moment, it was almost certain that if Jiang Chengxuan gained just a little more time, he would be able to fully absorb the Golden Immortal Enlightenment!
“Don’t think you’ll succeed! This Golden Immortal Enlightenment doesn’t belong to you!”
“Delusional brat! Don’t get cocky!”
But just when all seemed on the brink, a faint blue-green shadow suddenly appeared, accompanied by angry shouts. The three elders of the Shadow Dark Profound Sect reappeared.
Thanks to the Ghost Walk Technique, they had caught up with Jiang Chengxuan at this crucial moment, managing to intervene just as he was about to claim the fragment.
Seeing the net of the Ten Thousand World Manifest Sacred Scriptures already trapping the fragment, their pupils constricted sharply, murderous intent erupting.
Without hesitation, they unleashed their Netherworld power, summoning vast flows of shadowy heavenly light from behind, charging fiercely toward Jiang Chengxuan’s position.
They disregarded the fragment entirely, focusing only on pushing Jiang Chengxuan back, hoping to free the fragment from his control.
Due to a twist of fate, the net woven by the Ten Thousand World Manifest Sacred Scriptures was only capable of holding the fragment—it could not aid Jiang Chengxuan in combat.
Most of Jiang Chengxuan’s power had been poured into restraining the fragment, leaving him at a disadvantage.
The Shadow Dark Profound Sect’s three elders realized this perfectly and immediately surged their Netherworld power again, faces twisted with ferocity, preparing to deliver a killing blow.
“Hmph!”
However, Jiang Chengxuan had anticipated every possible scenario—breaking away from pursuers or being caught—and was fully prepared.
Facing this well-timed strike, he responded swiftly, casually tossing out an immortal treasure.
It was a crimson glazed talisman plate, engraved with nine dragons circling the sun, radiating an intensely fierce and scorching aura.
“Hum—!”
In an instant, under Jiang Chengxuan’s activation, the talisman swelled rapidly into a crimson realm, like a blazing red sun, enveloping the three elders of the Shadow Dark Profound Sect.
“Roar—!”
Dragon roars echoed, streams of departing fire flying, transforming into hundreds of fiery immortal dragons, all lunging to engulf the three elders!
This was one of the treasures obtained earlier in the Ancient Golden Immortal Grotto—the Nine-Dragon Departing Fire Formation!
Previously, the three demon lords of the Arrogant Blood Sect had used it to trap Yun Tian and Yun Di, demonstrating its formidable power.
Now Jiang Chengxuan used it to trap the three elders of the Shadow Dark Profound Sect!
“Boom!”
For a time, thousands of departing fire immortal dragons covered the sky, clashing with the elders’ assault.
The entire deep space erupted in towering flames; departing fire surged upward, scorching heaven and earth, spreading endlessly!
The scorching Dao force was so intense it could even melt space itself.
Waves of aftershocks continuously struck the Nine-Dragon Departing Fire Formation, shaking it but not destroying it—only causing sparks to fly.
Clearly, with Jiang Chengxuan’s Nine Mystical Bodhi Lotus Lantern empowering it, the formation had become even more unbreakable.
Even the three elders of the Shadow Dark Profound Sect could not easily shatter it.
“Damn! What kind of formation is this?”
“Hurry and break the formation! Don’t give him a chance to absorb the Golden Immortal Enlightenment!”
Realizing the danger, the three elders knew the formation might not threaten them directly, but it was enough to stall them.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chengxuan ignored their presence completely.
Right before their eyes, he turned and resumed drawing the net tighter, slowly pulling the fragment of Golden Immortal Enlightenment toward himself.
This scene naturally infuriated the three elders of the Shadow Dark Profound Sect, grinding their teeth in rage!
