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

Chapter 1968: Gate of the Forbidden Zone, Half-Step Hunyuan (Part 1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

A shocking pressure stunned countless cultivators throughout the Haoran Xuan Realm, causing widespread chaos. Many barely withstood it, yet still felt their minds dazed and could not clearly see the scene.

Only those at the center, inside the Haoran Xuan Sect, could continue to observe. The blurred and distorted void battlefield gradually brightened, with uncontrollable mysterious light surging forth, tearing open a chaotic starry sky and illuminating the disorder across the heavens.

This scene made Jiang Chengxuan and the Golden Immortals of the Guaiyu Sect focus intensely, their nerves taut. They realized the peak battle at the Da Luo Realm had ended, and a victor had been decided. His identity would determine the life and death of the entire Haoran Xuan Sect.

“Buzz—!”

A brilliant figure slowly emerged, bathed in supreme majesty.

Immediately, whether it was Shen Ruyan and the others or the Guaiyu Sect cultivators, their faces changed drastically and their bodies trembled.

“Husband!”

“Dao Friend Jiang!”

“Ancestor!”

On Shen Ruyan and the others’ faces were expressions of incomparable joy and excitement. In contrast, the immortals of the Guaiyu Sect looked as if they had lost their entire families—their hair stood on end and their hearts sank like a collapsing mountain.

The figure leisurely stepping out from the battlefield—if not Jiang Chengxuan, then who else could it be?

Without a doubt, the one who had fled in a flash of light earlier was the Guaiyu Sect’s patriarch! He had actually been defeated by Jiang Chengxuan!

“How is this possible?”

“I don’t believe it—it must be an illusion!”

“No! Impossible!”

For a moment, several from the Guaiyu Sect could not accept the truth, their eyes bloodshot as they cried out in agony.

But soon, some reacted and unleashed their immortal power desperately, trying to transform into beams of light to escape immediately.

Yet, just as they willed it, they suddenly found their senses stripped away. They could no longer feel their immortal power, nor sense where space itself was.

This plunged them into despair, as cold as falling into an ice cellar, realizing disaster was imminent.

Nearby, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes looked indifferent as, with just a snap of his fingers, he easily immobilized these few Golden Immortals, who had no strength to resist and froze in place.

Then Jiang Chengxuan gestured, and an irresistible force suppressed and dragged them over from a distance, casually tossing them in front of the Haoran Xuan Sect crowd.

This domineering act caused everyone to gasp, their hearts filled with boundless awe.

Remember, these were Golden Immortal cultivators, some even at the peak Golden Immortal realm. In Jiang Chengxuan’s hands, they were no different from ordinary mortals—this was terrifyingly extreme.

Even the Houtian Immortal was stunned, the only one who understood— not every Da Luo Golden Immortal possessed such abilities.

Jiang Chengxuan’s action proved that his victory over the Guaiyu Patriarch was no accident.

“Husband!”

Among them, Shen Ruyan was both shocked and joyous. Her graceful figure stepped lightly through the air as she softly called out to Jiang Chengxuan.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes softened, and he pulled her into his embrace.

However, he did not indulge in this moment of tenderness. After a while, he said to Shen Ruyan:

“This matter is urgent. Wife, wait for me to finish this, then I will come back to properly catch up.”

Hearing this, Shen Ruyan showed no displeasure, only deep affection as she replied,

“Alright, husband, you must return safely. I will always wait for you!”

All the tenderness and care were expressed without words. Jiang Chengxuan nodded. The two separated. He then glanced once over the Haoran Xuan Sect crowd, and without hesitation, his entire being transformed into an invisible spatial ripple, following the trace of the Guaiyu Patriarch.

Jiang Chengxuan knew that although his strike injured the Guaiyu Patriarch, it was not enough to finish him off. Within the Guaiyu Sect, something hidden might bring great disaster. Before the Guaiyu Patriarch could carry out a desperate move, Jiang Chengxuan must stop him—there was no time to delay.

…

“Bang!”

A hurried crashing sound echoed through the hall as the Guaiyu Patriarch’s disheveled figure flickered and appeared inside.

“Things have changed. Leave immediately, go to the Bone Wilderness Forbidden Zone!”

His long hair was loose, his expression extremely grave and somewhat dispirited as he shouted to those in the hall.

“Why are you so flustered? How did you end up like this?”

At that moment, a sinister and vague figure appeared in the darkness, looking uncertain.

Upon hearing this, the Guaiyu Patriarch’s face grew grim and somewhat ferocious, yet he truthfully said:

“That kid who took Houtian away is strange—he may have some connection to that person. His methods are unfathomable; even I cannot match him!”

These words shocked the vague figure, who emitted uncontrollable fluctuations.

The Guaiyu Patriarch’s explanation was too startling, inducing dread.

The shadow knew very well the power of the Guaiyu Patriarch, or else it would not have chosen to cooperate with him. And that so-called person who took away Houtian was not even at the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm. How could he be beyond the Guaiyu Patriarch’s ability?

If the Guaiyu Patriarch were not so pale, the shadow might have thought he was joking.

“Hurry and leave! Don’t think so much!”

Seeing him hesitate, the Guaiyu Patriarch shouted sternly. The shadow immediately turned, becoming a strange black wind that clung to him.

Then the Guaiyu Patriarch did not dare delay, breaking through the void again and fleeing toward some direction.

“Boom!”

A moment later, a powerful aura shattered the hall and descended inside…
