Chapter 917: Return to the Eastern Sky, Opportunity to Break Through
Editor: Henyee Translations
As the battle between the Eastern Sky Domain and the demon beast forces intensified, Leng Yuehua found herself increasingly stretched thin under the relentless assault of several Dao Fusion demon saints.
With Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, two key combatants, absent, and the loss of four sect saints, relying solely on the protective grand array was proving to be insufficient to turn the tide.
Moreover, an unexpected presence among the demon beast army added to their dire straits.
It was a new Dao Mastery saint.
This formidable entity, a gigantic Green Scale Serpent capable of devouring stars, specialized in Primordial Spirit attacks.
Because of his existence, the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley had been losing members.
Many cultivators had their primordial spirits destroyed by his divine power and died silently.
This also put immense pressure on the people guarding the Eastern Sky.
With the situation worsening, the barrier of the Eastern Sky Domain was on the verge of collapse.
Leng Yuehua, despite her efforts to maintain the grand array, was exhausted, and the damage inflicted by the enemy was outpacing the array’s repair capabilities.
The barrier now sported numerous cracks, more severe than any previous conflicts.
Outside, a massive minotaur continued to shake the barrier, while divine flames threatened to burn through, opening a passage for the demon beast forces.
“Junior Brother Chengxuan, please come back quickly…”
Leng Yuehua couldn’t help but pray inwardly.
As if in answer to her prayers, a brilliant five-colored divine light suddenly appeared in the sky.
The divine light, covering thousands of miles in an instant, pierced through the barrier and into the midst of the demon beast forces.
Its overpowering might instantly annihilated a swath of demon beasts, including Dao Integration level combatants.
Jiang Chengxuan had returned!
This five-colored divine light proclaimed his comeback, significantly easing the Haoran Sect’s burden and boosting morale.
For a long time, Jiang Chengxuan had established his prestige among everyone.
Not to be outdone, Shen Ruyan unleashed a devastating strike of the Five Elements Divine Thunder, which exploded amidst the demon beasts, turning a large number of them to ash.
The formidable return of the duo inflicted heavy casualties on the demon beast forces, significantly lifting the spirits of those defending the Eastern Sky Domain.
The demon beast saints, including Saint Rosy Cloud, eyed Jiang Chengxuan’s arrival with cold hostility.
The Green Scale Serpent Saint inquired,
“Is this the enemy you mentioned, the one unaffected by your Cloud Poison?”
“Yes.”
After the previous retreat, Saint Rosy Cloud reported back to her clan about the situation in the Eastern Sky Domain.
Subsequently, the demon beast race sent another Dao Fusion saint from the Sky-devouring Serpent clan, specifically to counter Jiang Chengxuan.
“Elder Leng, we’re back.”
Jiang Chengxuan quickly arrived beside Leng Yuehua and greeted her.
“Yes. It’s good that you’re back.”
Leng Yuehua could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
“Elder Leng, let me operate this array. You rest for a while.”
Jiang Chengxuan said to Leng Yuehua.
Leng Yuehua did not hesitate and handed the array disc to Jiang Chengxuan.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Jiang Chengxuan quickly connected to the varrier-protection array. The entire array suddenly surged with Dharmic power.
It was as if it was welcoming the return of its true master back.
Rumble!
The array unleashed its formidable strength, with Shen Ruyan joining its core, bolstering its defenses.
The attacking demon beast saints, including Saint Pingnan, immediately felt an increased resistance, and the barrier began to repair itself more rapidly.
“Damn it, those despicable human cultivators!” Saint Inferno raged as the once vulnerable barrier became fortified once again.
However, Saint Rosy Cloud did not show anger this time but instead smirked coldly.
“It’s your turn, Saint Jade Arcanum,” she said to the Green Scale Serpent beside her.
Nodding slightly, the serpent roared and soared into the sky like a dragon, its bloodline power wildly surging as it unleashed its innate divine power.
Suddenly, a giant green lake appeared in the sky, its Rule-infused waters pouring down.
The cascading rain penetrated the barrier and fell upon the grand protective array, causing it to start shrinking.
This was one of the Saint Jade Arcanum’s divine powers, the Array-Breaking Emerald Rain, capable of weakening any array until it extinguished.
Even with Jiang Chengxuan’s full effort, the array couldn’t completely shield it, only delaying it slightly.
Immediately, the Eastern Sky Domain’s barrier trembled again as the protective array weakened, allowing the demon beast saints’ attacks to become effective once more, and the situation quickly deteriorated.
Everyone’s hearts were in their throats, and even Jiang Chengxuan found himself at a loss for what to do.
Could it really be that we have to face a direct confrontation with the demon beasts?
“Five Lightning Immortal Slayer!”
Shen Ruyan, her eyes cold, summoned the Five Lightning Immortal Slayer, directing it at Saint Jade Arcanum performing the divine power.
However, a colorful poisonous cloud enveloped the area, causing the sword to lose its direction.
Clearly, the enemy had come prepared, waiting for Jiang Chengxuan to be occupied with the array before using their divine powers to breach it.
“Beasts, die!”
But at that moment, a mighty righteous energy targeted Saint Jade Arcanum, containing the power of a Dao Mastery Saint, forcing him to reluctantly retreat.
Instantly, the Array-Breaking Emerald Rain ceased, and the grand array was restored.
“Sect Master!”
Leng Yuehua, upon seeing who had come to their aid, joyfully exclaimed.
It was none other than Xue Ping, the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, arriving just in time to avert the crisis.
“Sect Master,” Jiang Chengxuan also felt a wave of relief and joy.
Xue Ping nodded to everyone, then launched another spell, driving back the demon beast saints assaulting the barrier.
His power at the peak of Dao Mastery was indeed terrifying.
Realizing they stood no chance against such might, the demon beasts acknowledged the futility of their assault and a stalemate ensued on the battlefield.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly felt an unusual surge of spiritual awareness within him.
The bottleneck to his Dao Fusion realm seemed to be loosening, an opportunity too precious to miss.
With Xue Ping now present to secure the Eastern Sky Domain, Jiang Chengxuan felt it was the perfect moment to seize this chance.
“Ruyan, I think something is happening to me…”
He quickly informed both Xue Ping and Shen Ruyan of his situation.
Surprised at first, they were soon overjoyed, urging him to immediately enter seclusion to break through.
As long as Jiang Chengxuan broke through, the situation of the human race would definitely be much better.
They had such confidence in him.
