Chapter 923: The Might of a Slash, Shocking All the Demon Beasts
Editor: Henyee Translations

Since the demon beasts first launched an assault on the Eastern Sky Domain, they had remembered this human cultivator.

They had thought the barrier could be easily breached, yet it was this man who thwarted them.

The colorful poison of Saint Rosy Cloud was countered by him, and the protective array, under his activation, became as impregnable as a deep moat.

The demon beast army’s first failure could be squarely attributed to Jiang Chengxuan.

Moreover, the aura emanating from Jiang Chengxuan now was unmistakably different from before,

Far surpassing the Jiang Chengxuan they knew, who had only entered Dao Inception.

At this moment, they finally understood something.

It turned out that Jiang Chengxuan, their number one enemy, had disappeared for so long to break through.

And just as they were about to breach the barrier and encircle the defenders of the Eastern Sky Domain, claiming a significant victory, Jiang Chengxuan returned.

He was like the nemesis of the demon beasts.

“Let’s go!”

As the Demon Beast Saints were stunned by Jiang Chengxuan, the encircled human cultivators suddenly burst forth,

Activating their Dharmic powers and techniques to skillfully escape the encirclement.

Seeing Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan also unleashed her lightning power, transforming into a swift thunderbolt charging forward.

“Hmph! Thinking of escaping? It’s not that easy, stay behind!”

But Saint Inferno quickly reacted, roaring vehemently, unwilling to let Shen Ruyan escape easily.

His body transformed, with divine flames within him surging and blazing forth, turning into nine fire lions chasing after Shen Ruyan.

This attack, embodying the innate divine fire of the Flame Lions clan, was immensely terrifying and could melt rules.

But at that moment, Jiang Chengxuan also made his move.

His right hand twisted, summoning the Five Elements Diagram with lightning speed, and then,

Everyone only saw a flash of golden divine light, a beam shooting towards the nine fire lions.

Where the golden light passed, the void itself was cleaved open, slicing through the nine fire lions as if cutting through tofu, melting everything in its path.

And yet, the strike did not end there. After annihilating the nine fire lions, it continued towards Saint Inferno.

The next moment, blood splattered!

Saint Inferno, unable to react in time, had one of his lion paws severed by this sword.

This was the Golden Void Sword formed by Jiang Chengxuan’s intrinsic Spiritual Treasure, the Five Elements Diagram.

With the support of the Dao Fusion realm, the Golden Void Sword seemed to truly merge with the void,

Its terrifying speed and lethality took Saint Inferno by surprise, leaving him unable to react.

“Husband!”

At that moment, Shen Ruyan reached Jiang Chengxuan’s side, with the Gengjin Void Sword following closely, returning to Jiang Chengxuan’s hand.

“Ruyan.”

Seeing his Dao companion after such a long absence, Jiang Chengxuan was visibly moved.

He had witnessed the dire situation of the Eastern Sky Domain upon his arrival,

Seeing Shen Ruyan battling three opponents of higher realms alone deeply concerned him.

“This time, you’ve really outdone yourself.”

Jiang Chengxuan gently stroked Shen Ruyan’s hair, speaking softly.

At this moment, Shen Ruyan finally let down her guard, her face softening as she said,

“I knew you would come, I just knew.”

Her words were filled with an incredible sense of trust, warming Jiang Chengxuan’s heart.

Within the demon beast army, all the demon beasts were shocked by Jiang Chengxuan’s move,

And for a moment, they were all frozen in place.

The renowned Saint Inferno, a Dao Fusion powerhouse of the Flame Lions clan, couldn’t withstand a single strike from that man.

“Could this human cultivator be at the level of Dao Mastery?”

Saint Sky Bearer said, his voice filled with disbelief.

Even though Saint Inferno’s attention was on Shen Ruyan, as a fellow Dao Fusion opponent, it should not have been so easy to sever his paw.

“No, he’s only at the Dao Fusion level.”

Saint Rosy Cloud spoke gravely.

With her Dao Mastery strength, she could discern Jiang Chengxuan’s current realm was merely that of Dao Fusion.

Yet, this made it all the more terrifying.

Merely at the Dao Fusion realm, yet capable of delivering such a strike, was utterly inconceivable.

This human cultivator’s potential was too unfathomable, and he would surely become a major threat to all three realms in the future.

“We must slay him here, at all costs.”

Saint Rosy Cloud instantly made this determination.

A genius might not be frightening because they can fall,

But a talent like Jiang Chengxuan, who had grown to such a realm, was truly terrifying.

Perhaps it would only take a few hundred years for the Floodgate Realm to witness the rise of another Daolord.

“Damn it, damn it, aargh!”

At this moment, on the side of the three Demon Beast Saints, Saint Inferno was roaring in fury.

Having an arm severed by an enemy was not only a physical torment but also a mental anguish for him.

For a long time, he hadn’t suffered such damage, let alone failing to block an enemy’s strike.

His body, formed from divine flames, could usually avoid some physical damages,

But under Jiang Chengxuan’s sword, it had no effect whatsoever.

Even more, the recovery of his body had become extremely slow after being struck by that sword.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan stepped forward from the crowd, once again summoning the Golden Void Sword.

This action startled the demon beast army, causing them to uniformly take several steps back.

“Demon beasts, for invading the Floodgate Realm and allying with the Abyssal Demons, your sins are unpardonable!”

He spoke slowly, his voice resonant and echoing throughout the Eastern Heavenly Domain.

“At this point, what more is there to say? The Floodgate Realm is doomed to destruction, and soon, everything will belong to us!”

Saint Rosy Cloud, with her massive serpent body, swam through the void, standing off in the distance, and shouted fiercely.

At this juncture, there was no longer any need to hide their alliance with the Abyssal Demons.

As long as the Abyssal Demons did not appear within the armies of the Three Realms, there would be no evidence,

And history is written by the victors. As long as the final victors are the demon beasts, deepsea nomads, and eldars.

Then nothing else matters.

Eventually, the narrative will be that the Abyssal Demons invaded the Floodgate Realm, the humans were killed by the Abyssal Demons,

And the demon beasts, deepsea nomads, and eldars were the great saviors who rescued the Floodgate Realm from fire and water, repelling the Abyssal Demons.

“Demon beasts, indeed, consist of barbaric and shameless fiends, allying with Abyssal Demons, little do you know you’re seeking your own doom.”

Jiang Chengxuan declared, locking eyes with Saint Rosy Cloud, the air thick with the intent to kill.

At this time, only Saint Rosy Cloud could be considered Jiang Chengxuan’s match,

Behind them, a group of Dao Integration cultivators also brimmed with fighting spirit, their eyes filled with chill.

Jiang Chengxuan’s arrival disrupted Saint Rosy Cloud’s plans and completely upset the balance of power between the two sides.

Now, there was no opportunity to exploit, only a face-to-face battle to be had.

But, looking purely at the numbers, the demon beast army still appeared to be stronger, making the outcome still uncertain.
