Chapter 1029: Repelling Two Daolords, The Impenetrable Barrier
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Ruyan’s sudden and explosive strike caught Daolord Skeleton, who was in the midst of casting a secret technique, completely off guard.
He had only been wary of Qin Shenwu’s side, never anticipating a second Mahayana Daolord-level power to emerge on the battlefield.
Indeed, Shen Ruyan wasn’t actually a Mahayana Daolord, yet she unleashed a power surpassing that of an ordinary Mahayana, making her existence even more unexpected.
Having already shocked everyone with Jiang Chengxuan’s ability to exhibit Mahayana power at the Dao Mastery level, it was astonishing to find his Dao companion possessed similar capabilities. Her strike was timed with lethal precision.
Daolord Skeleton was in the midst of gathering his killing move, making evasion impossible, especially since Shen Ruyan targeted his weakest defense point.
Overwhelmed, Daolord Skeleton’s protective Path of Bones was shattered by Shen Ruyan’s thunderous dragon form.
The sky filled with bones was turned into dust, resembling a bizarre blizzard.
At a critical moment, Daolord Skeleton’s face twisted in madness.
His robe swelled to its limits as his body withered to a husk-like state.
Forced to release his half-formed killing move prematurely, he suffered severe backlash.
Still, this desperate strike was unleashed, blasting terrifying energy across thousands of miles, containing a strange power very similar to the rules of life and death.
As this self-destructive attack spread, Qin Shenwu immediately turned to protect Xie Xiangyao and others, while Shen Ruyan continued her relentless assault.
Boom! Boom!
A series of terrifying magical explosions dominated the region, blinding anyone who dared to look directly.
Finally, when the dust settled after a long while, piles of bones fell from the sky, accumulating like mountains.
Daolord Skeleton’s Path of Bones, which he had cultivated over countless years, was utterly destroyed under Shen Ruyan’s attack.
Even if Daolord Skeleton were to reassemble the Path of Bones, its power would be significantly reduced, requiring ages to return to its peak strength.
Standing on the mountain of accumulated bones, Shen Ruyan held the Five Lightning Immortal Slayer, its blade slowly writhing with half of the eerie Skeletal Robe.
Despite Shen Ruyan’s ruthless action, Daolord Skeleton had managed to escape through self-destruction at a critical moment. Although the outcome wasn’t perfect, they had done everything they could.
Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost, ancient beings adept at surviving, had managed to escape even under heavy plotting by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
A roar suddenly erupted, and a blue barrier swiftly expanded in the void, bursting apart in the next moment as a sword light slashed through it.
Jiang Chengxuan’s figure slowly emerged in the void, holding the Golden Void Sword, upon which hung half of Daolord Phantom Ghost’s banner.
“Is it over? These two old Daolords really are cunning,” Jiang Chengxuan commented, looking around and noting the absence of Daolord Skeleton, confirming the outcome of the battle.
After his significant injury, Daolord Phantom Ghost had used a divine power to transform into a ghostly form and swallow Jiang Chengxuan into a world of spirits.
Inside, Daolord Phantom Ghost used every trick to delay, making it difficult for Jiang Chengxuan to finish him.
Feeling Daolord Skeleton’s defeat, Daolord Phantom Ghost knew he couldn’t continue and attempted to flee.
Jiang Chengxuan managed to seize the moment to slice Daolord Phantom Ghost’s banner but ultimately let the man escape.
“Husband, are you alright? It’s a pity; I also let Daolord Skeleton escape,” Shen Ruyan approached Jiang Chengxuan and said softly.
“It’s alright; it’s not your fault. Just wounding them severely is enough. They won’t recover to their peak states for a thousand years,” Jiang Chengxuan consoled her.
This battle was more about pride and opportunity than a fight to the death. Now, having severely wounded both Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost, they had essentially achieved their goals.
Qin Shenwu approached with Xie Xiangyao and laughed, “Chengxuan, Ruyan, I don’t know whether to be shocked or overjoyed.”
Indeed, the power displayed by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan deeply impressed Qin Shenwu. In the world of cultivation, it’s not uncommon for some to rise suddenly through fortuitous opportunities. After some astonishment and explanation, everyone gradually accepted this startling reality.
Now, with three individuals possessing Mahayana Daolord-level strength within their group, they were virtually unstoppable within the immortal cave abode.
After the battle, everyone took a brief rest, and only then did Jiang Chengxuan and his companions turn their attention to the barrier.
This barrier, shrouded in misty celestial light and emanating layers of profound aura, clearly indicated the vast opportunities it concealed.
It was no wonder that even selfish characters like Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost were willing to retreat and collaborate to seize such a chance.
As Jiang Chengxuan and the others examined the barrier, they found no obvious entry points, nor any inscriptions or mechanisms that might suggest a way to breach it.
Even with their considerable divine powers, they could not penetrate the barrier’s protections, finding themselves figuratively rich in treasures yet unable to access them.
“This barrier is indeed extraordinary. Before we arrived, both Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost likely tried every method they knew to open it, to no avail. Hence their plans to eliminate any competition,” Qin Shenwu remarked with a slight frown, considering the situation.
Indeed, as he had suspected, the ancient Daolords had tried and failed to break the barrier. In the world of cultivation, where even the most secretive and cunning could infiltrate sanctified places and disrupt celestial mechanisms, few could match the deviousness of these dark cultivators in breaking seals and stealing fortunes.
Hearing Qin Shenwu’s words, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan furrowed their brows, understanding the implications if his assessment was accurate—this barrier was truly difficult to breach.
The capabilities of those demonic cultivators were well-known; they were akin to rats of the cultivation world, able to infiltrate virtually anywhere.
If even they could not penetrate this barrier, it indeed confirmed the barrier’s formidable resilience, practically flawless.
