Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 1584: Round after Round of Challenges, Suppression of the Entire Field (Part 1) Chapter 1584: Round after Round of Challenges, Suppression of the Entire Field (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations In the vast wilderness of the world within the realm, Shen Ruyan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it rang out like a thunderclap, echoing in the ears of every Immortal present from the hidden sects.

The moment her words fell, all the Immortals from the hidden sects looked at one another, confused and suspicious, as if they believed Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were plotting something.

However, under their watchful gaze, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan remained indifferent, saying nothing more, calmly waiting for their response.

The disciples and elders of each hidden sect turned their gazes toward their respective ancestors.

The latter’s eyes flickered with uncertainty at first, but then settled into a state of composure.

The previous fear was gone.

With so many Earth Immortals on their side, if they couldn’t defeat Jiang Chengxuan, surely they could handle Shen Ruyan?

As long as she remained at the Earth Immortal level, they were confident they could suppress her.

After all, they had been the brightest stars of the last Immortal era, rising to prominence in an age where many had never known defeat.

Such a record was a source of pride for them, enough to claim they were invincible among their peers.

“Are you two trying to mock us?

If so, then I’ll test the strength of your ladyship.” After a brief silence, an elder from one of the hidden sects stepped forward and spoke slowly.

“My wife’s words are mine,” Jiang Chengxuan replied coldly, dispelling the last doubts in their minds.

This had already been arranged between him and Shen Ruyan.

Although Shen Ruyan had refined the Cave Heaven fragment, it still required some work to fully integrate it.

The best method for this was through real combat.

With so many Earth Immortals gathered here, this was the perfect opportunity for a trial of strength, an invaluable chance to push their limits.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had quickly agreed on this plan.

“Then let me have the first go!” a voice rang out from one of the hidden sects, and a figure swiftly flew forward.

Behind him, a sacred land appeared, casting deep crimson rays that wove strange patterns.

The aura of an Earth Immortal at full perfection radiated, shaking the very air.

This person wasn’t one of the sect’s ancestors, but the Great Elder, who had come at his master’s request to test Shen Ruyan’s strength.

He wasn’t aiming to defeat her, just to probe her power.

Without hesitation, he gathered all of his Earth Immortal power and unleashed his strongest divine ability, sparing no effort.

The overwhelming force of his Earth Immortal energy manifested in a bloody celestial net, exuding a murderous aura as it rushed toward Shen Ruyan.

The power of a perfected Earth Immortal shook the heavens and the earth, and beneath the celestial dome, the space seemed to turn into a vast sea of crimson.

The Immortals from the hidden sects watched intently, eager to observe Shen Ruyan’s response so they could prepare their strategies.

But what happened next left them utterly stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

“Boom!” In an instant, as the vast blood-red net descended, Shen Ruyan’s form exploded with a burst of blinding celestial light, like the rising sun accompanied by the roar of thunder.

Her sacred land manifested a sea of nine-colored lightning that rumbled and surged, with jagged peaks rising sharply.

Gale-force winds howled, and chains formed from divine lightning coiled around the peaks.

With a single gesture from Shen Ruyan, thousands of divine lightning chains shot out like a swarm of dragons, their terrifying might crashing into the Earth Immortal’s divine power, shredding it as easily as cutting through paper.

The chains didn’t slow down; they continued to surge forward with unstoppable force, striking the Earth Immortal with lightning speed.

The hidden sect’s Great Elder, who had expected a prolonged battle, found himself caught off guard.

He had thought he could at least hold his ground against Shen Ruyan, but the sheer ferocity of her power stunned him.

In the next moment, before he could even react, the divine lightning chains slammed into him.

The attack paralyzed his body, and internal flames ignited within him, causing searing pain that made him howl in agony, rolling through the air in a desperate attempt to put out the fire.

“Boom!” Amid the shock of the hidden sect Immortals, the Great Elder was blasted away by the thunder, as if a meteor had crashed to the ground.

The dust cleared, revealing him completely scorched, his body nearly burnt to a crisp, his aura faint and barely detectable.

Though he hadn’t been killed outright, he was clearly unable to continue fighting, grievously wounded and on the verge of death.

“Is this the strength of the Immortals of the hidden sects?” A profound silence followed as Shen Ruyan’s brows furrowed slightly.

In her sweet voice, she uttered words laced with sarcasm.

Her words stung, leaving the Immortals of the hidden sects unable to respond, their eyes filled with a mix of fury and deep apprehension.

They could see that Shen Ruyan was only at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, the same level as the Great Elder who had just attacked.

Yet, this battle, which should have been evenly matched, had been decided in a single exchange.

Such a display was enough to shake their spirits.

To defeat an opponent of the same rank in a single move was something even the ancestors of many hidden sects could hardly achieve, let alone do so with ease.

The realization that a single glance from Shen Ruyan had completely overwhelmed an Earth Immortal at full perfection left them in shock, and a chill ran through their spines.
