Chapter 738 - The Phantom Race, Elders’ Astonishment
“Show yourself!”
Jiang Chengxuan snorted.
The next moment, his body surged with intensely boiling blood.
Instantly, his stature skyrocketed.
Fifty feet, eighty feet, up to one hundred and twenty feet tall, Jiang Chengxuan’s figure had grown to a colossal size in the blink of an eye.
Chi chi chi!
Simultaneously, Pure Yang True Fire began to rise from his body, causing the surrounding void to emit sounds akin to boiling water under the scorch of the Pure Yang True Fire.
“Arghhhh!”
At that moment, the shadows swirling around him suddenly twisted and then converged into a humanoid form.
This being wore a black high hat, and its eyes shone with a sinister green glow.
Its face was marked with twisted black runes, standing as if it were the epicenter of all darkness, seemingly absorbing all surrounding light.
Indeed, this was a member of the phantom race.
JiangChengxuan’s gaze sharpened.
He had long heard that the phantom race was naturally accompanied by darkness, distinct from the so-called ghost races.
This race inherently possessed an extraordinary ability, which was the rule of darkness.
Despite only wielding the darkness rule in its basic form, the phantom race was still stronger than most cultivators at the same level.
This was because most cultivators at Soul Formation only mastered the basic spatial rule, with no grasp on other, more profound rules, let alone the origin rule.
Buzz!
In an instant, a massive amount of black mist surged up from the body of the phantom cultivator.
Chi chi chi!
As this black mist collided with the Pure Yang True Fire emanating from Jiang Chengxuan, it emitted sizzling sounds, showing signs of potentially suppressing the Pure Yang True Fire.
This made Jiang Chengxuan’s gaze slightly concentrate.
This was the first time he had seen someone utilize the power of darkness to overpower Pure Yang True Fire.
Of course.
This might be related to the power and grade of his Pure Yang True Fire not being high enough.
Nonetheless, the fact that his Pure Yang True Fire could be suppressed indicated that the opponent must be utilizing the power of the darkness rule.
“Roar!”
Suddenly.
Suddenly, behind Jiang Chengxuan, the manifestation of a dragon and an elephant appeared.
Following this, a figure exuding regal aura emerged behind him.
Demon Suppressing Fist Technique.
This punch, although primarily effective against demonic cultivators, also possessed a significant restraining effect against all forms of dark and evil spirits.
With the power of the dragon and elephant surging through him, even a phantom cultivator wielding the darkness rule could not hope to gain any advantage.
Boom!
A fist shadow, hundreds of feet in diameter, blasted through the sky directly into the engulfing black mist.
An explosion of terrifying energy ensued.
The golden fist relentlessly struck the pervasive black mist, which seemed to evaporate endlessly, only to be replenished just as quickly.
For a moment, the two sides appeared to be in a stalemate.
Whoosh—
At that moment, a completely black flying sword emerged from the endless darkness, silently slicing towards Jiang Chengxuan at high speed.
Clang!
However, just as the black flying sword was about to hit the back of Jiang Chengxuan’s head, his Golden Void Sword flew out to meet it.
The collision in mid-air triggered a dense explosion of sword Qi.
Chi chi chi!
In an instant, the walls and ground were marked with numerous clear sword cuts.
The environment, transformed by the Mystic Sky Cave and known for its durability, was not supposed to be easily affected by ordinary attacks.
However, at this moment, traces of battle appeared on the walls and ground.
It could be seen how intense the battle between the two was.
How terrifying was the combat strength they erupted with?
“Enough of this.”
Jiang Chengxuan, after evaluating the frequency and power of his opponent’s attacks and having deployed most of his techniques, suddenly produced two balls of flame in his palm, one gold and one white.
Yin and Yang Divine Flame!
Boom!
In an instant, the endless black mist was instantly incinerated.
Waves of fire, like predators chasing their prey, split and evaporated more of the black mist.
The phantom cultivator’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“How is that possible?”
Before he could fully react, he felt an endless flame boiling inside him.
In an instant, boundless flames burst forth from countless pores in his body.
In just the blink of an eye, the phantom cultivator was incinerated into nothingness by the flames that had erupted within him.
And this was Jiang Chengxuan’s fire divine power, Chaotic Flames.
These flames could attack from all angles, either exploding violently or infiltrating surreptitiously, even penetrating every nook and cranny to burn one’s body to ashes unknowingly.
“Itworked!”
Outside, as the onlookers saw Jiang Chengxuan successfully pass the third level, joy appeared on everyone’s faces.
“It’s truly unexpected that Martial Nephew Jiang possesses such strength shortly after ascending.
If he continues to cultivate for some time and is provided with ample resources, he could become invincible within the Soul Formation realm,” Yun Yizhen couldn’t help but express his admiration.
Hearing his words, both Qin Shenwu and Xue Ping also smiled.
However, after some time, they still did not see Jiang Chengxuan come out.
This made Qin Shenwu, Xue Ping, and the others somewhat puzzled.
“What’s going on? He’s already passed the third level, why hasn’t Martial Nephew Jiang come out?”
“Wait, look!”
Everyone turned their heads, their eyes narrowing in focus.
“This kid…”
Qin Shenwu couldn’t help but speak out.
“Is he continuing to challenge further levels?”
“Hm? He’s also passed the fourth level?”
At this, everyone present was somewhat shocked.
If Jiang Chengxuan passing through the third level of the Mystic Sky Cave was a cause for joy and an indicator of his formidable strength, his passing through the fourth level was beyond belief.
One had to know that the gap between the third and fourth levels of the Mystic Sky Cave was enormous.
While a cultivator who passed the third level could be considered strong among those in Soul Formation, one who passed the fourth level could almost be declared invincible.
Out of a hundred peak Soul Formation cultivators, not one would be able to pass the fourth level of the Mystic Sky Cave.
Yet now, Jiang Chengxuan had…
“Wait, look!”
Suddenly, Yun Yizhen’s pupils contracted, and he stared intently at the Mystic Sky Cave, urging Qin Shenwu and Xue Ping to pay attention.
