Chapter 980: Meteor Torrent, Terrifying Power
Editor: Henyee Translations
A strong sense of tearing suddenly spread throughout Jiang Chengxuan’s body, and almost instinctively, he manifested the Five Elements Reincarnation World to isolate and mitigate the external impacts.
A highly chaotic barrage of rules struck, enveloping Jiang Chengxuan in darkness and chaos. Suddenly, the world seemed to contract at a high speed, stretching his consciousness to near stagnation.
Fortunately, this ancient gate posed no actual danger.
After what felt like an eternity, Jiang Chengxuan successfully pa.s.sed through the ancient gate and regained his composure.
“Unexpectedly, just the stone gate of the immortal’s cave abode possesses such domineering power. Truly terrifying,” Jiang Chengxuan murmured to himself.
At this moment, he found himself in an entirely new s.p.a.ce.
This place posed no danger; it was just a typical void, perhaps even a resting place in the outer s.p.a.ce realms.
After all, this was a cave abode of an ancient immortal, not a deadly trap deliberately set to doom intruders.
Although they were essentially sneaking in as outsiders, they had entered using proper methods rather than forcing their way through.
Compared to a true intruder, their treatment was somewhat better.
Yet, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression remained serious.
Because in the instant they pa.s.sed through the ancient gate, he and Shen Ruyan, among others, were forcibly separated.
Now, in this vast empty area, he was alone.
“I wonder if this is a mechanism of the ancient gate or something done intentionally by the Pantheon Daolord…”
Jiang Chengxuan spoke to himself.
While it was unlikely that the Pantheon Daolord had orchestrated this, it wasn’t entirely outside the realm of possibility.
After all, he had declared that upon entry, their alliances would be nullified.
And using reasonable means to hinder compet.i.tors was, after all, quite normal.
Living in the world of cultivators, such deceit and cunning were commonplace.
And merely separating one’s team was hardly considered a despicable tactic; it was quite within the rules.
“Phew.”
Jiang Chengxuan exhaled softly.
Regardless, he had to trust that Shen Ruyan and the others could handle sudden situations on their own.
The only thing he could do now was to try to reunite with them as quickly as possible.
And he couldn’t rush this.
The opportunities and dangers within this immortal’s cave abode were still unknown, and one careless move might lead to his own downfall, turning him into a laughingstock.
At such times, impatience, carelessness, and overconfidence were his greatest enemies.
Those who approached the seizing of opportunities with such att.i.tudes often ended up becoming opportunities for others.
Having fought his way here from the lower realms, Jiang Chengxuan was acutely aware of these truths.
He immediately adjusted his mindset, focusing all his thoughts on exploring the immortal’s cave abode.
First, he extended his senses outward, slowly spreading into the external world.
But this realm contained nothing but emptiness.
Once he had ruled out immediate dangers, Jiang Chengxuan began to mentally map out his next destination.
His sixth level Heavenly Calculation Technique started interacting with this mysterious world. Initially, he saw only a vast, silent nightscape.
As his prediction deepened, other things began to emerge.
Several extremely bright and hot orbs of light appeared in a certain direction, embellishing the otherwise dead night.
Such a scene indicated that in that direction lay extremely potent energy, likely some treasure.
Intuition of the Heavens issued no warnings, prompting Jiang Chengxuan to decide to head there immediately.
Upon entering the immortal’s cave abode, he had kept his Intuition of the Heavens at its peak, foreseeing the auspiciousness or peril of any slight disturbance.
This was the power of Heavenly Calculation Technique, invaluable whether in battle or in seeking fortunes, turning calamities into blessings.
The five-element light that Jiang Chengxuan transformed into traversed this void,
quickly arriving at the prophesized location.
But what met him was not a scene of vibrant life or mystical mists.
Upon his arrival, as if a mechanism had been triggered, the distant horizon suddenly erupted as a vast swath of meteors blazed towards him.
It was as if a sea of fire had ignited in the sky, or countless cannons were firing simultaneously, determined to flatten a mountain range.
Countless meteors, from afar to near, arrived in an instant.
Just thousands of miles away, he could feel the oppressive force of the meteor swarm,
the fierce wind sweeping in first, sharp as blades.
The terrifying wind pressure was like a mountain bearing down, squeezing the air clean and making breathing difficult.
Had a mere Dao Integrating cultivator been standing here, they would likely be unstable,
perhaps even injured by the residual force of the meteors.
Rumble!
The first meteor arrived in an instant, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression unchanging as a five-colored light bloomed from his brow.
The Five Elements Diagram was immediately deployed, transforming into a ma.s.sive Deep Earth Halbert.
Jiang Chengxuan charged headlong towards the approaching meteor, his single arm swinging with force as the Deep Earth Halbert swept up a tempest, heavily crashing down onto the meteor.
In that moment, Jiang Chengxuan could feel the meteor’s power, which was comparable to the might of a Dao Integrating cultivator—a force that could match a cultivator’s strike.
However, as a Dao Mastery cultivator who had cultivated both his spirit and physical body, Jiang Chengxuan’s immense physical strength erupted under the swing of his Deep Earth Halbert, shattering the enormous meteor instantly.
Rumble!
The collision resonated like thunder and fire, with the shattered meteor creating a flaming tornado, a sight profoundly awe-inspiring.
But this was only the beginning.
As the first meteor shattered, countless others continued to arrive in rapid succession.
Wave after wave of fiery onslaught engulfed the area, the intense heat of the celestial fire completely covering the region.
Jiang Chengxuan had no time to think further; he immediately manifested the Five Elements Dao and the Samsara Dao.
The Five Elements Samsara World forcibly upheld a realm within the sea of fire, a sanctuary impervious to evil.
The power of the Five Elements instantly transformed into countless streams of five-colored light, like a colorful rain of light, shooting towards the ma.s.sive swarm of meteors.
Wherever they pa.s.sed, they were unstoppable, piercing through any meteors they touched.
Streams of five-colored divine light pierced the meteors like wasp nests, followed by bursts of magical power that erupted from within, instantly annihilating the enormous meteors.
Jiang Chengxuan stood before this rain of fiery meteors, striking at them as if he were single-handedly battling the heavens, filled with heroic fervor at that moment.
Facing the sudden crisis, Jiang Chengxuan remained composed and unfl.u.s.tered, his expression unchanged as he calmly and precisely executed each attack and response.
