Chapter 1371: The Battle Ends, New Storms Stir_2 Chapter 1371: The Battle Ends, New Storms Stir_2 Editor: Henyee Translations The collapse of the Azure Peak was swift and deafening, with its Immortal energy surging like a tidal wave, shaking heaven and earth.
Under Jiang Chengxuan’s relentless assault, the core of the great mountain was soon exposed.
At that moment, the will of the Great Calamity surged one last time like a bolt of lightning, attempting a final struggle for survival.
But Jiang Chengxuan’s sharp eyes and quick reflexes made short work of it.
His calamity weapon expanded with immense power as he drove it forward with precision, stabbing directly into the core of the black light.
In an instant, a surge of chaotic energy spread outwards, throwing every Immortal on the battlefield into momentary darkness as if they had been plunged into a realm of pure chaos.
“Be still!” came Jiang Chengxuan’s thunderous command.
The darkness dissipated as quickly as it had come, swallowed by a mystical force as gusts of profound wind swept the field, consuming the remaining calamity energy.
The gathered Immortals blinked in confusion, struggling to comprehend what had just transpired.
This treasure hunt had been a perilous ordeal.
Many had come close to death multiple times.
The battle had claimed numerous lives, turning the expedition into a near-disaster.
Now, as the remnants of the calamity’s influence faded, they realized the true danger they had been in, and how they had unknowingly been caught in a web of conspiracy.
Watching Jiang Chengxuan absorb the last of the calamity energy, many of them were unsure whether to flee, thank him, or simply remain frozen in place.
The battlefield fell into a tense silence once more as the Immortals hovered in the air, gazing at Jiang Chengxuan’s commanding figure.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Jiang Chengxuan finished absorbing the calamity energy with his weapon.
Strange and intricate runes now covered the blade, radiating an ancient and overwhelming aura.
Even Jiang Chengxuan himself could not hide his satisfaction.
As the master of the calamity weapon, he could feel the source energy it now held.
Its power was now far greater than even his Primordial Water and Fire Sword.
It had truly ascended to another level.
“Whoosh—” Jiang Chengxuan let out a long breath, calming the energy within him.
His gains weren’t limited to the enhanced weapon.
By slaying Azure Peak Immortal, he had also absorbed some of the shattered domain’s source energy.
Part of it had returned to the world, but a significant portion had been devoured by his own domain, advancing his cultivation even further.
“You can come out now,” Jiang Chengxuan said softly, retracting his power.
From within his domain, a radiant light emerged, revealing the figures of Shen Ruyan and the other members of the scattered Immortal Alliance.
In the crucial moment earlier, Jiang Chengxuan had discreetly hidden them within his domain, shielding them from Azure Peak Immortal’s deadly attacks.
“Beloved!” Shen Ruyan’s graceful figure flew toward him, her voice trembling with relief as she threw herself into his arms.
The previous attack from Azure Peak Immortal had shaken her to her core.
She knew that if Jiang Chengxuan had truly fallen, her world would have crumbled.
“No harm done.
I’m not so easily defeated,” Jiang Chengxuan chuckled softly, patting her shoulder to calm her.
“Where is Azure Peak Immortal now?” one of the other Immortal Alliance members asked as they approached cautiously.
“Dead.
There’s no need to worry anymore,” Jiang Chengxuan replied flatly, not bothering to hide the truth.
The weight of his words hit them like a hammer.
For a moment, they stood in stunned silence, unable to fully grasp the enormity of what they had just heard.
The fall of an Earth Immortal was a cataclysmic event, something unheard of for tens of thousands of years.
Yet here was Jiang Chengxuan, having slain one without so much as a scratch.
“Jiang Immortal!
Thank you for saving our lives!” “That Azure Peak Immortal was mad!
If not for your intervention, we would all be dead!” “Jiang Immortal’s mercy is unforgettable.
We are forever in your debt!” “Your strength is unmatched, an awe-inspiring sight!
We will forever remember this battle!” At that moment, the cultivators from various factions finally found their courage and stepped forward, bowing deeply to Jiang Chengxuan.
Their eyes gleamed with admiration and gratitude.
The tale of this battle would surely spread throughout the entire Immortal Domain, making Jiang Chengxuan a legendary figure.
Even other Earth Immortals would now regard him with caution, knowing his overwhelming power.
To these lesser cultivators, Jiang Chengxuan was an undisputed master, one who held their lives in his hands.
“This brutal war, this so-called treasure, was all orchestrated by the Great Calamity,” Jiang Chengxuan said, his expression turning cold and distant.
“You all survived by luck.
Return to your sects and prepare for the calamity.” His words were a sobering reminder of the larger crisis looming over them.
The Immortals nodded hastily, fully aware now of the gravity of the situation.
“Thank you for the warning, Jiang Immortal.
We will depart immediately.” Without hesitation, the survivors bowed once more, then quickly fled, eager to leave the battlefield.
Even the battered White Dragon and Yellow Huang Immortals, who had fought against the Scattered Immortal Alliance, showed no reluctance in departing.
They knew better than to risk any further conflict now that the calamity’s influence had been revealed.
Yet just as they began to retreat, an unexpected change swept through the air.
Suddenly, the Thousand-Mile Cloudfall, the great celestial cascade that was once the source of their treasure hunt, began to tremble violently.
An unimaginable force surged forth, ripping through the sky and enveloping the world in chaos.
“No!
No!
Aaaah!” Horrified screams echoed through the battlefield as an oppressive energy engulfed everyone, forcing them to halt in their tracks.
The air itself seemed to crack under the weight of the power that now emerged.
“That voice… it’s Sky-Draping Immortal!” Shen Ruyan said gravely as she listened to the chilling screams of agony.
Turning to Jiang Chengxuan, she quickly explained what had occurred.
Earlier, after striking his deal, Sky-Draping Immortal had taken advantage of the chaos to slip away, heading alone toward the location of the treasure.
But now, judging from the terrifying sounds and the explosion of power, something had clearly gone terribly wrong.
“Rumble!” Before anyone could even think of what to do, the next shockwave struck.
A deafening roar reverberated across the sky as the Thousand-Mile Cloudfall shattered in an instant.
Crimson light shot upward, illuminating the entire region in a blood-red hue.
Even the heavens seemed to tremble as crimson lightning crackled across the sky like a celestial catastrophe unfolding.
Under this fearsome pressure, even Jiang Chengxuan felt a twinge of unease.
The others, meanwhile, could barely breathe, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing upon them.
“What is that power…” one of the Immortals murmured, their voice shaking with fear.
Far behind the collapsing Cloudfall, an ominous disturbance was brewing.
The horror they had just witnessed was only the beginning.
As the massive waterfall crumbled, red light surged forth like an unstoppable tidal wave, shattering the void in its path.
Within that crimson glow, faint traces of calamity energy were already spreading, consuming everything in their way.
