Chapter 1585: Round after Round of Challenges, Suppression of the Entire Field (Part 2) Chapter 1585: Round after Round of Challenges, Suppression of the Entire Field (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations “What’s wrong?
Have you all given up?” “Don’t bother with your foolish arrogance if you don’t intend to stay here.” Just as the entire arena fell into silence, Jiang Chengxuan spoke once more, his tone casual, yet it held an underlying threat that sent a chill down the spines of the hidden Immortals.
The words, half-veiled with a hint of menace, immediately made the hidden Immortals shudder.
They exchanged wary glances, no longer daring to waste time.
Without another word, they gathered together, murmuring among themselves, before quickly selecting another Immortal to step forward.
From one of the sects came a towering figure, standing at an imposing height of three zhang (about 9 feet), his skin a deep yellow, resembling a giant, humanoid beast.
His face was stern, resembling something cast from bronze.
“XuA!n HuA!ng Immortal Sect, XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA>,” the towering figure introduced himself gravely.
He was one of the ancestors of the XuA!n HuA!ng Immortal Sect, and it was clear that the hidden sects were no longer holding back.
With a focused expression, XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA> summoned his full strength.
Though he, like the previous Immortal, was at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, his celestial power and Dao methods far surpassed those of the previous challenger.
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!” XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA>’s mighty form shook as his sacred land materialized.
Before him stood a vast, barren desert, dotted with towering triangular pagodas made of an indestructible material, radiating a harsh yellow glow that was as unyielding as iron.
A heavy gravitational force began to pull and distort the space around him.
Thunderous sounds rang out as a battle armor forged from celestial crystals encased his massive body.
Clearly, XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA> was a master of defense and suppression.
After much deliberation, the hidden Immortals had chosen him to test Shen Ruyan’s power, not necessarily to defeat her but to probe her strength and see how she fared against his defense.
They aimed to observe her abilities, then employ a strategy of defense and attrition, wearing Shen Ruyan down so their other Immortals could take advantage.
It was a smart tactical move on the part of the hidden Immortal sects, and even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but nod in acknowledgment.
Their plan, in truth, was exactly what Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan wanted.
They didn’t want to kill the Immortals outright, but rather give Shen Ruyan the chance to fight and test her abilities.
If they truly wished to annihilate the Immortal sects, Jiang Chengxuan could easily wipe them all out in no time.
“Summon!” As all the Immortals from the hidden sects watched closely, the battle was about to begin.
XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA> summoned all his strength, standing immobile like a stone Buddha, awaiting the clash.
Seeing this, Shen Ruyan casually waved her hand, and a lightning-infused talisman shot out.
Without hesitation, she infused immense celestial energy into it, causing a deafening roar of thunder to echo.
In an instant, the talisman rose into the air, summoning a raging storm of lightning that clashed against the celestial vault.
In the flashes of lightning, massive figures began to materialize, roaring to the heavens.
With the Lightning Talisman invoked, the army of thunder spirits emerged!
In the blink of an eye, armored lightning giants loomed in the sky like divine soldiers, their figures expanding in the wind as they wielded divine weapons.
They marched, their feet pounding the thunder, immediately surrounding XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA>!
“Boom!” Almost simultaneously, hundreds of thousands of lightning-forged weapons rained down, striking directly at XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA>’s position.
Upon seeing this, XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA> reacted immediately, releasing a mighty roar.
His sacred land transformed into an enormous shield, defending against the onslaught!
The terrifying force erupted, and waves of thunder clashed, creating a continuous storm that expanded outward, consuming the land for miles.
The thunder and the yellow glow of XuA!n HuA!ng’s energy flickered in and out, as if thousands of strikes were being exchanged per second.
Amid the chaos, the thunder spirits relentlessly battered the defensive barrier.
Once the battle began, it quickly escalated into a deadly confrontation between two Earth Immortals at the pinnacle of their power.
No mercy was shown, and every strike was a vicious attack!
The shockwaves from their power made the Immortals from the hidden sects tremble.
Even the ancestors of the Earth Immortals were holding their breath, watching in awe.
The space seemed to enter a loop, with thunder striking continuously, and no one knew how long it had been nor how long it would continue.
Shen Ruyan’s celestial energy seemed endless, and gradually, XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA> began to feel the toll of the battle.
From the moment the attack began, the army of lightning spirits under Shen Ruyan’s command never stopped.
The celestial power and the destructive force of the thunderous Dao were overwhelming, and XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA> had no choice but to endure each devastating blow.
Every strike of lightning carried the weight of destruction, even a hint of something incomprehensible, something vast and mysterious.
XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA>, unaware of the full extent of Shen Ruyan’s power, didn’t realize that this was only the beginning of what she had absorbed from the Cave Heaven fragment.
The more the battle progressed, the clearer and more intense the power would become.
“AhhhaEUR”!
XuA!n HuA!ng Heavenly Strike!” At some point, perhaps unable to bear it any longer, XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA> unleashed a battle cry, his arms pointing skyward.
His long hair whipped around as he reversed the force of his sacred land, turning his defense into a brutal counterattack!
In an instant, the Immortals from the hidden sects watched intently, holding their breath.
From within the desert of XuA!n HuA!ng’s domain, the triangular pagodas flipped upside down, releasing an explosive burst of celestial light that shot into the sky like a series of volcanoes erupting, sending shockwaves through the battlefield.
XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA>’s eyes were bloodshot.
He knew this was his final strike, one last desperate move to drive back Shen Ruyan and create an opportunity for himself to retreat.
“Hmph!
You shall be suppressed!” Shen Ruyan, seemingly expecting this move, calmly flipped her hand, and with a swift motion, she cast a hand seal that had been building up for some time.
The sea of nine-colored lightning erupted from her sacred land, and thousands of thunder spirits surged forward, roaring like dragons as they rushed toward XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA>!
“Boom!” In that instant, the Earth Immortal’s perfect divine power collided with Shen Ruyan’s celestial might.
The explosive shockwave nearly consumed everything, casting blinding light and heat into the heavens.
The void trembled with the deafening sound of thunder and the cries of dragons, as chaos swirled and turned, as though the world itself were being torn apart.
Even the resilient space of the world within the realm began to fracture under the intensity of the clash.
The Immortals from the hidden sects were forced to manifest their own celestial energy to resist the shockwave.
“Ughhh!” Before the hidden Immortals could react, XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA>’s figure was sent flying, bloodied and battered, his armor scorched as if it had been burned for millennia.
This scene left the ancestors of the hidden sects speechless, their eyes widening in disbelief.
They knew XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA>’s strength well, and they were aware of his remarkable defensive capabilities.
Even the Senlong Immortal Sect’s elder would need considerable effort to defeat him.
Yet Shen Ruyan had completely suppressed him, using overwhelming force to defeat and severely injure him.
This was far more terrifying than a simple one-sided defeat.
“What a shame, his armor was quite tough.” From the swirling smoke, Shen Ruyan emerged unscathed, her expression calm, as she casually remarked.
At the critical moment, if not for XuA!n HuA!ng ZunzhA>’s armor, Shen Ruyan would have already slain him.
Her words left the hidden Immortals utterly speechless, some already beginning to waver.
The thought of facing a genius like Shen Ruyan made them question whether they could defeat her.
“Don’t panic.
She must have used a lot of energy.
Continue the fight, don’t let her recover!” The Senlong Immortal Sect’s elder, still in green robes, once again shouted, trying to stabilize the morale of the others.
His analysis helped calm some of them, and they began to find hope, still determined that Shen Ruyan couldn’t possibly remain so powerful.
“Indeed, she’s not a Heavenly Immortal yet.
I don’t believe she can remain this strong!”
