Chapter 999: The Blood Lotus and the Golden Giant Hand

Editor: Henyee Translations

Deep within the dense grey-white mist, it seemed as if nothing else existed. No matter which direction Jiang Chengxuan looked, all he could see was the swirling fog.

Facing this persistent mist, Jiang Chengxuan manifested the Five Elements Samsara world, forcibly carving out a sanctified space around him. Fortunately, aside from impeding his departure and obstructing his view, the mist did not exert any other negative effects, such as weakening his Dao rules or damaging his primordial spirit.

Jiang Chengxuan summoned a fire rule from the Five Elements, creating a blazing line of fire in the palm of his hand and casting it into the mist, expecting some reaction. Under normal circumstances, any type of mist would at least react to the flame, but the grey-white fog remained unaffected as if it didn’t exist at all.

This peculiar resistance left Jiang Chengxuan feeling uneasy, his expression turning grave. He subsequently tried various methods including primordial spirit attacks, the power of Dao rules, and treasures to probe the mist, but nothing seemed to affect it.

It appeared that this grey-white fog shared a mysterious similarity with the force of voidness, potentially originating from a higher realm, making it unreachable by the forces of this realm.

The fog only seemed to stir when Jiang Chengxuan attempted to leave, flowing sluggishly as if clinging to him, causing even his brows to furrow tightly.

If there truly was nothing within this fog and its sole purpose was to trap those who entered, the situation was indeed dire. He needed to find a way to influence the fog to reveal a path out.

At that moment, a terrifying disturbance erupted from the heavens above within the endless fog.

A force of immense power burst forth, its might equal to the lethal abilities of a ninth-leve beast. Facing this sudden change, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but cry out in frustration, for this was not the change he had desired.

But then, without mercy, a fearsome attack descended instantly. Colors finally broke through the monotony of the fog as crimson lightning wildly streaked across the sky. Blood-red lotuses, like maple leaves blown by a fierce wind, emerged from the dense fog, rapidly descending towards Jiang Chengxuan’s position. These blood lotuses were interconnected, forming a net that enveloped him.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan unleashed the Five Elements Diagram, transforming it into the Golden Void Sword and slashing horizontally across the space. The nearest blood lotus was cleaved in two under the invisible edge of the sword. Just as he prepared to strike the next lotus, the disruption caused by the split lotus made all the surrounding blood lotuses converge on him aggressively.

These blood-red lotuses, tightly intertwined, seemed to strangle their prey until suffocation. Jiang Chengxuan felt a choking sensation as this wave of attacks, carrying the weight of great accomplishment, converged from all directions, leaving him no escape.

“Samsara divine power, activate!” he roared, just as the blood lotuses were about to engulf him. He pushed the power of Samsara to its peak.

The Dao of Samsara erupted, distorting time, space, and everything around, causing the countless blood lotuses to pause momentarily. However, this was still not enough to escape the encircling net.

With relentless determination, Jiang Chengxuan continued to unleash the power of Samsara. Under the terrifying force, the blood lotuses began to change. Knots between the roots started to twist, pulling the lotuses together under the influence of Samsara, mingling them into a chaotic explosion.

BOOM! Blood-red explosions erupted, shaking the void and triggering a chain of reactions. The world turned blood-red as if descending into hell. Caught amidst it, Jiang Chengxuan had to rely on the Five Elements Samsara to withstand the aftershocks.

After weathering the initial assault, the damage from the residual impacts was significantly less than a direct hit. Had the blood lotuses exploded directly on him due to his reversal, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Rumble! Yet, as he faced these challenges, another terrifying fluctuation began in the unreachable skies above, leaving him no respite. An overwhelming force, once again, swept down towards Jiang Chengxuan with the might of great accomplishment.

Something massive forced the dense grey-white fog apart in the high sky, exerting a tremendous pressure. Jiang Chengxuan, without any hesitation, once again summoned the Golden Void Sword.

A dazzling burst of golden light suddenly exploded, and a colossal pillar, resembling a titanic hand, crashed down. Jiang Chengxuan’s pupils dilated as the golden object quickly filled his vision—a gigantic golden hand, surrounded by numerous golden runes, positioned as if to crush something fiercely, descended vertically.

The force of the Mahayana rules on it was terrifying and seemingly indestructible, instilling fear in anyone who beheld it. This was not a mere display of power; it was a manifestation of brute force and Dao rules, oppressively bearing down.

“Not yet ready to be crushed!” Jiang Chengxuan roared in defiance. Behind him, the power of the Dragon Elephant burst forth, his entire body’s strength driven to its maximum. Even his form expanded, making him appear as a titan.

Transforming the Golden Void Sword into the Deep Earth Halberd, he enlarged it to its fullest, akin to a towering peak, grasping it firmly in his hands. With formidable force, he thrust the halberd upward towards the descending golden hand.

BOOM!

The collision of these terrifying forces caused the void to shatter into countless fragments. Like a mirror explosively breaking, the aftermath of the strike sent shockwaves throughout the space. The Deep Earth Halberd met the golden finger head-on, both vibrating intensely from the immense forces clashing without yield, igniting explosions and ripples through the void.

Jiang Chengxuan’s face turned a fiery red, his eyes blazing with indomitable fury, his muscles bulging, and the dragon elephant roaring behind him. He stood firm against this might, comparable to the great powers, unyielding to the crushing force of the giant finger.

This scene was immensely awe-inspiring and brutal, showcasing an unyielding spirit that defied the heavens.
