Chapter 1025: The Sudden Barrier, A Terrifying Collision
Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Chengxuan’s firm rejection undoubtedly drove Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost to madness. Both channeled their energies to the peak, clearly signaling their intent to strike.
In this immortal cave abode, among the top three sects of the Floodgate Realm, a terrifying battle between three Mahayana Daolords was on the verge of erupting.
Rumble!
However, just then, a startling change occurred nearby. Bursts of brilliant, mysterious light suddenly flared, illuminating this part of the world.
This sudden disturbance caught everyone on the verge of action by surprise, momentarily dispelling their murderous intents.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others looked toward the source and saw a barrier emanating a misty treasure-like aura abruptly appear in the void. Inside, treasures sparkled with an incredibly mystical light.
This spectacle stunned both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, leaving them slightly at a loss.
Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost across from them also appeared astonished, yet they did not seem completely taken aback.
“Shifu, senior sister, senior brother, what is this?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan turned to look at Qin Shenwu and the others, noticing a gleam in their eyes, clearly indicating some prior knowledge of this suddenly appearing barrier.
“The exact nature of this barrier is unclear to me as well, but I can sense that there is a great opportunity within it,” Qin Shenwu slowly explained, then recounted everything that had happened here.
It turned out that their arrival at this location was not by coincidence but because of this barrier. Initially, the barrier was much larger, but for some reason, it had shrunk and hidden itself over time.
The first to arrive here were actually Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan, but almost at the same moment, Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost arrived, each unaware of the other’s presence.
It wasn’t until the barrier inexplicably shrank that Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan were exposed to Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost.
It was at that moment that Daolord Skeleton developed a killing intent towards Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan. Qin Shenwu, who was also drawn by the anomaly of the barrier, arrived just in time to save the two.
The reason Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost had attacked Xie Xiangyao and others was partly due to their malicious intent to retaliate against the Haoran Sect and partly to prevent the news of this place from leaking out.
Qin Shenwu and others, including Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan, were confronting the two Daolords partly to disrupt their plans and compete for the opportunity.
The escalation to the current situation was entirely due to this opportunity within the barrier.
“If you leave now, we can be magnanimous and forgive past offenses. From now on, should any member of the Haoran Sect encounter our demonic cultivators, we shall refrain from retaliation.”
At this moment, the previously hostile Daolord Skeleton suddenly spoke in a much calmer tone.
This statement left Jiang Chengxuan and the others dumbfounded and utterly astonished.
Before the appearance of this sacred site, Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost seemed eager to devour them alive, bearing a hatred as if it spanned generations.
They could hardly believe how quickly Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost had changed their stance—from threatening their lives one moment to declaring a truce the next.
Such demonic cultivators truly lacked any credibility or morality; they would do anything for profit, even retracting their own words.
However, Jiang Chengxuan was not inclined to retreat or let go of those who had insulted the Haoran Sect.
With a cold sneer, he replied disdainfully, “There’s no need for such concessions. This place of opportunity might lead you to retract your words, but my Haoran Sect keeps its promises and never backs down. If it’s a battle you want, then a battle it shall be.”
His words were resolute, each syllable serious and firm, effectively ‘slapping the face’ of Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost once again.
The implication was clear—he was mocking the two Daolords for their lack of integrity despite their high status.
“How dare you! Such disrespect is courting death!”
“Such insolence from a foolish child. Today, you will surely die here!”
At this point, neither Daolord Skeleton nor Daolord Phantom Ghost could hold back any longer.
The next moment, the terrifying power of the Mahayana Daolords exploded. A grey-white storm and a gloomy green storm immediately swept up, stirring the heavens and earth.
Enraged by Jiang Chengxuan’s repeated defiance, the two nefarious powers finally lashed out in anger, unleashing their full strength towards the Haoran Sect members without any reservations.
Daolord Skeleton manifested his Dao rule, as countless skeletal figures emerged from the void. Bones transformed into swords, axes, and spears, becoming various monstrous forms that spanned the void and roared as they attacked.
Daolord Phantom Ghost’s Dao rule also reached its peak, his ghastly domain suddenly expanding and enveloping the area. The mournful winds howled, turning the air bitterly cold and desolate.
The two terrifying Dao rules, under the full display of the Mahayana Daolords, instantly enveloped the world around them.
Seeing this, Qin Shenwu roared in response, forcefully maintaining half of the world with the power of the Five Elements Dao rule. Five divine lights illuminated the heavens, striving to suppress the oncoming skeletons and ghosts.
The power unleashed by the three Mahayana Daolords was nothing short of horrifying.
Even Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan, who stood behind Qin Shenwu, had to distance themselves from the battlefield. Staying too close meant certain death.
Mahayana Daolords represented the pinnacle of power in the Floodgate Realm, and a normal world could hardly sustain their battles.
Fortunately, this location was beyond the usual realms, deep within an immortal cave abode. Otherwise, just the aftermath of their clashes could have been enough to obliterate worlds.
Rumble!
The collision of the three Mahayana Dao rules was like the collapse of celestial bodies. In an instant, a ball of light that swept across the heavens and earth exploded, engulfing the area in a massive fireball.
Yet, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not retreat. They stood not far behind Qin Shenwu, ready to intervene at any moment.
Before Qin Shenwu acted, he had instructed Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to remain hidden and not to act prematurely—he was confident he could handle it alone.
When the moment was right, they would unleash their full strength unexpectedly, potentially breaking the deadlock and posing a greater threat to the enemy.
