Chapter 1053: Shen Ruyan’s Imminent Breakthrough

Editor: Henyee Translations

Facing the combined attack of disciples from the seven major sects, Jiang Anran unleashed her power at the level of Dao Fusion, leaving countless onlookers utterly astounded.

Although the disciples from the seven sects had recognized her as the strongest presence there and had attempted to eliminate her first, they also wanted to curb the rising momentum of the Haoran Sect.

Yet, no one had anticipated that among this batch of disciples, with only a millennium of cultivation, there would be one who had reached the realm of Dao Fusion!

Such strength was already sufficient for her to hold the position of an elder within the Haoran Sect, and even in the Floodgate realm, she was capable of founding her own sect.

Her presence in the disciple competition was simply overwhelming.

In an instant, the countless spectators were flooded with various emotions.

Members of the Haoran Sect felt pride and admiration, while the leading elders of the other sects were in shock, lamenting the strength of the Haoran Sect.

Their intention had been to unite the resources and manpower of all sects to hold a grand event visible throughout the Floodgate realm and to eliminate the Haoran Sect first in the competition to undermine its prestige.

They hoped to attract more talents during disciple recruitment by doing so.

But they had never imagined that the disciple the Haoran Sect sent would be at the level of Dao Fusion.

Their plan had undoubtedly ended up benefitting her instead.

Boom!

At the Dao Fusion realm, Jiang Anran’s suppression of her opponents was absolute.

With the power of her Dao rules, she dominated the octagonal platform single-handedly, pushing against everything.

Amidst cheers from countless Haoran Sect disciples, Jiang Anran unleashed the Five Elements Dao rule, creating a storm of five colors in the arena that cornered all the talented disciples from the various sects.

The seven opponents, unwilling and shocked, exerted all their strength in retaliation, staking their reputations as geniuses, unable to accept defeat.

However, their powers could not break through the Five Elements Dao.

In the next moment, Jiang Anran, not holding back anymore, transformed the five-colored divine light into a mighty river that swept across the void, blasting all the sects’ talents out of the arena.

“Haoran Sect, Jiang Anran, under the tutelage of Jiang Chengxuan, thank you.”

Standing proudly alone on the platform, she spoke lightly.

The entire venue fell silent, then erupted into tremendous cheers and applause.

Jiang Chengxuan.

A thousand years later, this name once again brought such shock to the Floodgate realm.

Rumors had it that this man had been in seclusion for a thousand years, and everyone speculated about his current condition and what kind of storm he would stir in the Floodgate realm upon his emergence.

At least for now, under his name, the Haoran Sect was unstoppable, having ascended to the pinnacle of the Floodgate realm.

…

Amidst mist and moonlight, outside the cave on Cloud Mist Peak.

A figure stood silently, his presence almost invisible.

Under the glow, the man’s face was revealed—it was Jiang Chengxuan, the subject of everyone’s speculation.

He had seen everything happening in the Haoran Sect right now.

His lips curled up in a very satisfied smile at his disciple’s performance against seven opponents.

Truthfully, although he had cared for Jiang Anran, providing her with various treasures and spiritual items, he hadn’t guided her much in cultivation.

What he had done was to arrange resources for her properly, but in terms of the path of cultivation, she relied on her own talent and insight.

Jiang Anran, like him, came from the same world, and now achieving such accomplishments made him feel proud, reminiscent of his past self.

Over these thousand years, Jiang Chengxuan had fully stabilized his Mahayana realm but had not left Cloud Mist Peak to protect Shen Ruyan.

Occasionally, he would come to the peak to overlook the changes in the Haoran Sect.

The Sect’s thriving development and strength brought great joy to Jiang Chengxuan’s heart.

Facing all the past Sect leaders, he could confidently say that under his leadership, the Haoran Sect was at its most powerful.

A thousand years might not be long for a sect, but these thousand years under his leadership were more significant than the previous ten thousand years for the Haoran Sect.

While Jiang Chengxuan was absorbed in observation, a predestined change occurred.

He suddenly felt something and turned to look towards Shen Ruyan’s meditation cave.

There, a tremendously mysterious power was slowly emerging, with an immense force of Dao rules slowly manifesting.

In the void, Primordial God Thunder flickered, reflecting scenes of life and death, and the cycles of beings.

This spectacle gradually spread, enveloping the entire Cloud Mist Peak, appearing like a mirage.

Yet, the aura it emitted was terrifyingly powerful, impenetrable to any probing.

Jiang Chengxuan was very familiar with such phenomena.

A look of joy burst across his face.

He knew that Shen Ruyan was close to completing her Dao integration with the universe and was about to achieve the realm of Mahayana.

…

In the world of the universal will, Shen Ruyan had transformed into the body of Primordial God Thunder, wielding the dual-colored Dao of life and death. Her feet stirred the winds, battling fiercely against a manifestation of the universal will at its peak.

This manifestation of the universal will was not in any ordinary form, but appeared as a phoenix, its wings obscuring the sky and its body ablaze with colorful flames.

The battle had reached its final stage. Shen Ruyan faced the Dao Phoenix without retreating, fighting until her trio of Dao powers was nearly shattered.

But above her head, the guiding light had blossomed to its fullest extent, with the world’s imprint almost within reach.

In the next moment, the Dao Phoenix stirred the entire world of Dao, as immense colorful currents flowed, bringing the power of the whole world crashing down upon her.

Facing this terrifying strike, Shen Ruyan’s eyes filled with determination.

She felt the gaze of Jiang Chengxuan, who was undoubtedly observing her. She knew her husband had already broken through to the Mahayana realm and was waiting for her success.

With a surge of strong belief, she unleashed all her Dao powers in an instant, transforming them into a vast sea of swords, launching them forward.

Boom! Boom!

In the terrible collision of Dao forces, a storm of colors swept through everything, and a profoundly mysterious light burst forth, shooting straight into the sky.
