Chapter 981: Discerning Patterns, The Emergence of a Treasure
Editor: Henyee Translations
In the endless void, Jiang Chengxuan stood alone against the meteor swarm that wielded the might of Dao Integration, brandishing the Deep Earth Halbert and unleashing the power of the Dragon Elephant with abandon.
At this moment, he was like a lone warrior facing thousands of troops, alone against countless attacks of Dao Integration.
Within the void, the rule of the Five Elements and the rule of Samsara had been manifested to their utmost, forming a world of Five Elements Samsara that propped up a corner of the heavens. Inside, the terrifying power of these rules demonstrated endless variations.
Any meteor that touched this five-colored aureola was instantly bombarded by the alternating strikes of the Five Elements, and shattered in a moment.
Even though each meteor contained the might of Dao Integration, they could not breach the defenses of the Five Elements Samsara world.
Yet, the situation did not easily improve. After Jiang Chengxuan shattered one meteor after another, what followed was wave after wave of bombardments.
These meteors seemed to appear out of nowhere, driven by some unknown force, appearing endlessly as if out of thin air.
Wave after wave, an infinite curtain of fire, trembled and swept over.
All Jiang Chengxuan could do was to shatter the incoming meteors again and again, wielding the Deep Earth Halbert repeatedly.
There must be a treasure nearby, and these meteors might be mechanisms set to eliminate those who dare to steal the treasure.
The Samsara rule on Jiang Chengxuan constantly replenished his strength, a new divine power displayed by the path of Samsara after he had entered the realm of Dao Mastery.
Utilizing the rule of Samsara, he could replenish a part of the Dharmic power expended with each release, a cycle of energy in itself.
With this divine power of Samsara, Jiang Chengxuan could continue to battle for years without completely exhausting his strength.
However, Jiang Chengxuan did not antic.i.p.ate that the momentum of these meteors seemed to demand endless combat.
Time mercilessly pa.s.sed, and around Jiang Chengxuan, countless shattered stones acc.u.mulated, forming a galaxy.
Yet the number of meteors seemed infinite, not pausing even for a moment.
Under the continuous collisions, even the tip of the Deep Earth Halbert turned slightly red, a reaction from the explosions after each impact.
In a flash, Jiang Chengxuan could not help but wonder if the Heavenly Calculation Technique was being interfered with by some immortal’s cave abode, leading to some error.
However, giving up now seemed too ludicrous.
Thus, Jiang Chengxuan did not retreat but chose to continue probing and waiting for a change.
Finally, after shattering several waves of Dao Integration-powered meteor showers, the change Jiang Chengxuan had been waiting for arrived.
However, this change hardly improved his mood.
For the meteor shower of Dao Integration might had seemingly ended, but what followed was an attack by meteors of Dao Fusion might, far more formidable.
Faced with this, Jiang Chengxuan also began to feel a hint of confusion.
But on second thought, at least these inexplicable meteor attacks were showing variation, indicating they were artificially set and not natural phenomena.
This meant that someone, for some purpose, had orchestrated these endless meteor attacks.
This notion indirectly confirmed that Jiang Chengxuan’s Heavenly Calculation Technique was indeed correct.
Thinking this, the confusion and impatience in Jiang Chengxuan’s heart dissipated. No matter what lay behind these attacks, since he had come this far, he must see it through.
In an instant, Jiang Chengxuan unleashed even more potent Dharmic power. The Deep Earth Halbert glimmered with golden light, transforming into the more lethal Golden Void Sword.
Wielding the Golden Void Sword, he turned into a terrifying golden beam of light, actively slashing towards the evolved Dao Fusion power meteors.
He had roughly deduced that the faster he shattered the meteors, the quicker the results would manifest.
The timing of the next wave of meteors was not fixed but depended on how quickly the previous wave was destroyed.
Now, switching from defense to offense, he actively sought change with the destructive power of gold.
The Dao Fusion might meteors were more than twice as strong as the Dao Integration ones, but before the Golden Void Sword, they still shattered upon contact.
This wave of Dao Fusion meteors took only half a day for Jiang Chengxuan to completely annihilate.
Then, as antic.i.p.ated, the next wave of meteor showers arrived on schedule.
At this point, the pattern Jiang Chengxuan had discerned was entirely correct.
He judged that when the meteors of Dao Mastery appeared, the treasure would emerge.
Since the Heavenly Calculation Technique had not foreseen danger, it indicated that no meteors of Mahayana might existed.
With that realization, Jiang Chengxuan gathered all his energy and once again attacked without hesitation.
Rumble!
Wave after wave of Dao Fusion meteors were obliterated by Jiang Chengxuan, and the unleashed force once again heated the void to an extreme.
Protected by the cycle of Samsara and employing the lethal forces of the Five Elements, Jiang Chengxuan did not pause for even a moment. His determination unyielding, he cleaved through heaven and earth with radiant bursts of golden light, splitting each ma.s.sive meteor into two with high efficiency.
Under such circ.u.mstances, the time it took to shatter the second wave of Dao Fusion meteors was only half that of the first.
Suddenly, at a specific moment, an even more terrifying force and aura transmitted from the distant reaches.
This power, even Jiang Chengxuan started to feel a hint of pressure.
In the distance, a ma.s.sive meteor burning with purple flames approached, its terrifying might compressing the void into ripples.
Compared to the previous meteors, this one was entirely purple, resembling crystal.
“Dao Mastery…”
Jiang Chengxuan murmured.
His heart was filled with antic.i.p.ation yet weighed down by the immense pressure.
This incoming wave of meteors was not large in number, but each one contained the power of Dao Mastery.
Even with Jiang Chengxuan’s strength, he now had to be cautious in his response, for any carelessness could potentially result in injury.
According to his calculations, this should be the final wave of a.s.sault.
Rumble!
The meteors infused with Dao Mastery, mixed with thunder and purple flames, approached. Jiang Chengxuan no longer held back.
Behind him, the brilliance of green, red, yellow, white, and blue erupted, and the Five-Color Annihilation Light was immediately deployed, striking out with terrifying force towards the meteors.
In an instant, the void shook incessantly, and the connecting purple flames burst forth, transforming into a purple firestorm that incinerated the remnants of the previous meteors, terrifying in its ferocity.
And just at the moment it shattered, a mysterious aura suddenly emanated, causing Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes to light up.
In the next instant, Jiang Chengxuan struck again, the Five-Color Annihilation Light flaring up to completely pulverize the meteor.
From within the shattered piece of the Dao Mastery meteor, suddenly a radiant light burst forth.
A fruit glowing with the hue of glaze flew towards him, unexpected and sudden.
