Chapter 1450 - Chapter 1450 Exchanging Treasures for Territory, A Test of Strength
Chapter 1450: Exchanging Treasures for Territory, A Test of Strength Chapter 1450: Exchanging Treasures for Territory, A Test of Strength Editor: Henyee Translations In the vast expanse of the heavens, three blazing stars that had been circling in a display of awe-inspiring power, interwoven with vast celestial energy, seemed unstoppable.
This tremendous force clashed with Jiang Chengxuan’s dual-element illusion of Primordial Water and Fire, each devouring the other in a constant flux, releasing terrifying waves of power.
Yet, with Jiang Chengxuan’s abrupt and overpowering counterattack, this delicate balance shattered.
The rotating stars stilled for a moment, and then, like an avalanche, a torrent of celestial power collapsed inward.
From a distance, it was like witnessing the collapse of the universe, as though the Milky Way had been cleaved in two, the stars cascading from the heavens, splitting the sky and earth.
“ThisaEUR| is the true pinnacle of celestial warfare?
It’s as if the world itself is ending!” “To witness this in my lifetimeaEUR| I could die without regrets!
It’s beyond belief!” “This is what it means to reach the peak of the Immortal Dao?” Astonished gasps erupted among the observing cultivators from various factions, their eyes wide with awe.
The sheer scale of energy unleashed by the clash of these five powerhouses was akin to a natural disaster.
The destructive power of this single confrontation was enough to annihilate an entire realm.
“What kind of technique did Jiang Chengxuan use?
He completely bypassed the sealed formation of the StarsaEUR|” “The Starry Celestial Sect’s combined strike is supposed to be as strong as a late-stage Earth Immortal, and yet it was so easily dismantled!” “This isaEUR| terrifying!
His techniques are truly beyond mortal comprehension!” High-ranking immortals and Earth Immortal-level cultivators alike focused intensely on Jiang Chengxuan’s methods.
They couldn’t understand his powers, which were far beyond their knowledge and experience.
Earth Immortal battles were not new to them, but to see a power that seemingly disregarded another’s foundational Dao principles was unheard of.
Unknown to them, Jiang Chengxuan had surpassed the level of an Earth Immortal, standing on the cusp of Heavenly Immortal.
To him, the comprehension of Dao by Earth Immortals was relatively elementary.
Empowered by his near-Heavenly Immortal realm’s embryonic formation of a celestial domain, he moved freely within the constructs of Dao, as effortlessly as drifting through water or air.
In other words, he operated on an entirely different level and dimension.
With a thunderous boom, the tides of battle turned.
The enormous celestial power backfired, hurling Star Elder Hu, Star Elder Xing, and Star Elder Chen down from the skies, smashing them into the earth.
In their titanic fall, several star fortresses of the Starry Celestial Sect were caught in the blast, destroyed on impact, leaving many disciples and sect members injured or dead.
The battlefield grew silent, the stillness broken only by the occasional echo of pained cries lingering in the void.
Jiang Chengxuan made no move to pursue, simply hovering above, casting his gaze upon the scene below.
His forceful counterattack had torn open the dark sky, allowing the radiance of the stars beyond to pour over him, his shadow stretching endlessly.
It was as though an eternal night had fallen over the hearts of the Starry Celestial Sect’s disciples.
“Our Elders have been defeated!
No!
I don’t believe it!” “He must have used some evil technique to deceive us; there’s no way our Elders would lose!” “This must be an illusion!
It has to be!” The sight of their defeat shook the Starry Celestial Sect’s disciples to their core, causing their resolve to waver.
Some began weeping, others, their faces twisted in denial, clung to excuses that could bring them even a moment of solace.
But the shattered star fortresses and the fragments scattered across the battlefield were all too real.
Their pain and confusion could not be ignored.
In the silence that followed, any self-deception was shattered.
Countless disciples wept, tossing aside their immortal treasures and weapons.
Even the stern, imposing elders were silent, frozen in place.
On the battlefield, the collapsed stars stirred terrifying waves of energy that none could counteract.
They could do nothing to aid their fallen Elders.
This war, prepared and anticipated for so long, had seemed destined to reshape the Immortal Domain.
Yet, to everyone’s astonishment, it ended suddenly, and unexpectedly.
Three Earth Immortals, combining their strength, were subdued by Jiang Chengxuan alone.
This astounding feat was enough to etch his name into history.
As the energy waves gradually calmed, countless gazes, filled with hope or dread, awaited a miraculous resurgence from the three Starry Celestial Elders.
But eventually, the swirling energy stilled, and the three fallen stars never rose back to the heavens.
There was no doubt: Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had won.
“Yes!
Those wretched Starry Celestial Sect elders are finally getting what they deserve!
Ha!” “SighaEUR| what will become of our families now, here in the Starfallen Plains?” “That Jiang Chengxuan, that Western ContinentaEUR| after this, they’re certain to rise.
We should build some alliances as soon as possible!” As the news spread, reactions varied.
Some cheeredaEUR”those who had suffered under the Starry Celestial Sect during the great calamity rejoiced in seeing justice met.
Others, like the native sects of the Starfallen Plains, were left wondering about their futures.
The Starry Celestial Sect may not have given them much status, but they had survived here for thousands of years.
Now, being drawn into the Western Continent’s sphere of influence left them feeling lost and uncertain.
