Chapter 877: Insta-killing Three Dao Integration Saints,
Editor: Henyee Translations
Chi chi chi!
In an instant, the five differently colored sword qi, sharp as laser beams, shattered the incoming attacks in mere moments.
The momentum of these sword qi didn’t falter, causing the majority of those who had launched the assault on Jiang Chengxuan and his companions to be obliterated under their force.
A series of pops could be heard.
Almost half of the people who attacked Jiang Chengxuan and the others were annihilated by his five sword qi.
“What?”
It was only at this moment that realization dawned on the attackers.
When had Jiang Chengxuan’s strength become so formidable?
No, that’s not right.
His cultivation…
Their focus shifted abruptly to his cultivation level. The remaining Dao Integration cultivators on the scene underwent a drastic change in expression as they recognized that Jiang Chengxuan’s cultivation was no longer at Void Returning realm but had solidly entered the Dao Integration realm!
When had this happened?
Why had there been no prior indication of such a significant leap in his strength?
This realization prompted another thought.
They had been wondering about the fall of the six Dao Integration cultivators who had gone to confront Jiang Chengxuan and his group.
Now, it seemed evident that their demise was at his hands.
Given the strength Jiang Chengxuan had just displayed, defeating those six wouldn’t have been a difficult task for him.
Damn it!
How had he achieved Dao Integration so swiftly?
If they remembered correctly, it hadn’t been long since Jiang Chengxuan advanced to the Seethrough stage, right?
If he continued to cultivate at this pace, wouldn’t it mean he could reach Dao Fusion and even Dao Mastery in just a few years?
At that point, even a Mahayana Daolord might struggle to suppress him.
These cultivators who had a grudge against Jiang Chengxuan or were enemies with the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley could not help but reveal extremely solemn expressions.
This line of thought, especially in their heightened emotional state, intensified their murderous intent towards Jiang Chengxuan.
Despite the potential cost, they were resolved to ensure he did not leave this place alive.
Such extreme thoughts would not usually cross their minds under normal circumstances.
However, given the current state of heightened emotions, their mind was beyond their control.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In that moment, the sky witnessed the descent of three supreme-grade spiritual treasures, each aiming directly for Jiang Chengxuan with endless fierce flames billowing around them.
They were actually igniting the essence of their spiritual treasure, opting for a self-destructive attack to target Jiang Chengxuan.
“You really think highly of me.”
Jiang Chengxuan remarked, as his eyes sparkled with divine light.
With a simple gesture, an immense hand, seemingly capable of manifesting the cycle of reincarnation, appeared in the sky.
Buzz!
This was the Hand of Reincarnation, now elevated to a divine power of the Dao.
Crash!
As if a boundless aura of reincarnation cycles pervaded, the moment these three supreme-grade spiritual treasures made contact with it, their radiant brilliance began to rapidly extinguish.
Like a flame engulfed by a tsunami, their light dimmed instantaneously and fell from the sky, only to be effortlessly collected by Jiang Chengxuan.
“What?”
The expressions of the three attackers underwent a drastic change, utterly shocked that their all-out assault had been so easily neutralized by Jiang Chengxuan.
They had put everything on the line, and yet…
Boom!
Before they could further process the situation, the imposing figure of a great halberd materialized from the void, rapidly enlarging in their pupils.
A terrifying aura locked onto them, rendering them completely unable to escape.
“That’s impossible!” they cried out in horror.
However, the only response was a devastating blow, as if the sky itself was collapsing.
Boom!
The sky erupted with three towering plumes of blood mist, and the sound of breaking resounded through the air.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Three Dao auras were visibly severed from the heavens.
This shocking development instantly snapped everyone back to reality from their frenzied state, turning their heads in horror.
“Three Dao Integration Saints have fallen!”
“How could this be…?”
Everyone’s gaze followed the direction of the tumultuous fluctuations, landing on Jiang Chengxuan as he calmly stored three storage rings into his possession.
Had he, alone, just slain three Dao Integration Saints?
Initially, some had not recognized Jiang Chengxuan.
However, as moments passed, his identity became clear to those present, leaving them with expressions of disbelief.
“It seems to me,” Jiang Chengxuan’s voice rose calmly, “that our focus should not be on me, but rather on the guardian spirit within that medicinal garden. Haven’t you noticed the anomaly with the guardian spirit? Haven’t you felt that the impulses within your heart are far stronger than usual?”
His words struck a chord, prompting everyone to introspectively examine their own emotions.
To their astonishment, they indeed found their emotions and desires to be more intense and uncontrollable than normal, just as Jiang Chengxuan had suggested.
Could all this be the doing of the guardian spirit of the garden?
If so, its power might be verging on the stage of Dao Fusion, a realization that weighed heavily on everyone.
They understood the gravity of the situation.
If the guardian spirit’s strength truly neared the Dao Fusion stage, acquiring the spiritual herbs under its watch would be incredibly challenging.
“If you trust my words,” Jiang Chengxuan continued, “then we need to join forces and break the garden’s barriers as swiftly as possible.
With each passing minute, the guardian spirit regains some of its strength.
We need to get rid of it completely before it recovers its strength.
Otherwise, once it reaches the Dao Fusion stage, neither you nor I may have any chance of accessing this natural medicinal garden.”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, many among the crowd began to come around to his way of thinking..
