Chapter 865: Clash with Level 8 Talismans
Convinced that no one could resist the allure of the Heaven Splitting Purple Qi, especially given its abundance here, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan understood the gravity of their discovery.
The amount of Heaven Splitting Purple Qi present could potentially elevate more than ten individuals to the stature of Mahayana Daolords.
The very thought of having over ten Mahayana Daolords was staggering.
Thus, it was imperative that this treasure remained hidden from others.
Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately set out to collect the Heaven Splitting Purple Qi.
However, collecting such Qi was not a task for ordinary storage treasures.
It required an item imbued with the innate Qi of creation.
After searching through his belongings, Jiang Chengxuan produced his Ascension Furnace.
There was a clang.
As the lid of the furnace was opened, the Heaven Splitting Purple Qi before them swarmed into the furnace, and in just a moment, the majority was collected.
But it was at this moment, as Shen Ruyan was vigilantly monitoring their surroundings, that her eyes suddenly sharpened.
She noticed three cultivators from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect approaching.
All three were of the Seethrough stage, clearly indicating that other sects had similar intentions, deploying their cultivators for exploration in this realm.
Coincidentally, these three from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect were approaching them.
“That is?”
At this moment, the three cultivators from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect also noticed the situation within the canyon, their expressions turning to shock, quickly followed by uncontrollable ecstasy.
“It’s Heaven Splitting Purple Qi! To think it’s actually Heaven Splitting Purple Qi!” exclaimed one with a horse-faced appearance.
The eyes of the other two also lit up.
However, their joy quickly turned to anger upon spotting Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan collecting the Qi.
“Stop! Stop now!” they shouted, immediately unleashing their spiritual treasures without hesitation.
They also expanded their domains to full extent, directing their full force at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, ready to engage without holding back.
Their reaction was understandable.
Anyone witnessing such a vast amount of Heaven Splitting Purple Qi being claimed by others would lose their calm completely.
“Hmph!”
At that moment, Shen Ruyan let out a cold snort through her nose.
Instantly, her surroundings burst with lightning, crackling like dragons and snakes, shattering the domains of the three horse-faced cultivators in a flash.
At the same time.
Shen Ruyan’s Five Lightning Immortal Slayer was also summoned by her.
Rumble!
With a thunderous rumble, formidable lightning swept across the void.
The clanging sounds followed as the spiritual treasures of the three horse-faced men were sent flying by Five Lightning Immortal Slayer.
“What?”
Seeing this, the expressions of the horse-faced man and the other two changed drastically.
They didn’t expect Shen Ruyan to be so powerful.
Facing three opponents, she still firmly held the upper hand.
“We must obtain the Heaven Splitting Purple Qi at all costs!” The determination in their eyes was unmistakable.
Next, they each produced a talisman emitting an immensely terrifying aura.
Shen Ruyan immediately recognized these not as ordinary talismans but as Level 8 offensive talismans.
As expected.
Cultivators sent for exploration were equipped with significant trump cards and life-saving items.
At this moment, both Jiang Chengxuan, who was collecting the Heaven Splitting Purple Qi, and Shen Ruyan, facing off against the three men, grew more solemn.
Facing three Level 8 talismans, even they had to exercise caution.
“Hand over all the Heaven Splitting Purple Qi you have, or don’t blame us for being impolite,” one of the horse-faced men coldly demanded, not wanting to act hastily and risk damaging the precious Qi.
If they suffered any losses because of this, it would be a huge loss.
Shen Ruyan, aware of their intentions, scoffed at their demand.
“Hand over the Heaven Splitting Purple Qi to you? Wishful thinking,” she retorted, her disdain clear.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the three men.
“Don’t think we won’t take action.
If that’s what you believe, you’re about to be disappointed.”
Without waiting for Shen Ruyan’s response, they activated their Level 8 talismans, ready to escalate the confrontation
Buzz!
In an instant, a terrifying fluctuation erupted.
The formidable power from the Dao Integration level swept towards Shen Ruyan and Jiang Chengxuan, who stood behind her.
“Ruyan, let me handle this!”
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan had just finished collecting all the Heaven Splitting Purple Qi from the canyon..
With a flash, he positioned himself in front of Shen Ruyan, and the Five Elements Diagram in his hand shimmered, transforming into a shield in an instant.
Since becoming a Heaven-connecting spiritual treasure, the Five Elements Diagram had gained the ability to morph at will.
Boom, boom, boom!
The terrifying power exploded upon the shield in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand, forcing him to stagger backward repeatedly.
He immediately activated the Infinite Wheel, causing myriad halos to circulate around him.
The onslaught from the Level 8 talismans left only superficial wounds on his body without causing any internal or rule-based injuries.
This scene left the three horse-faced men completely dumbfounded.
They could not comprehend how their Level 8 talismans had inflicted merely superficial damage on Jiang Chengxuan.
Strictly speaking, these were nothing more than skin-deep injuries, negligible for a cultivator of the Seethrough stage.
When had such a formidable Seethrough cultivator emerged in their Celestial Floodgate Realm?
In almost an instant, the realization dawned upon the three horse-faced men, and their gaze towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan shifted to one of horror.
“You… you are…?”
“Ah, recognized us, have you?”
Jiang Chengxuan’s face took on a cold expression.
The next moment, a five-colored radiance surged behind him..
