Chapter 1969: Gate of the Forbidden Zone, Half-Step Hunyuan (Part 2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Bathed in sacred radiance, Jiang Chengxuan pursued relentlessly.
He focused his mind, seeing through cause and effect, sensing an overwhelmingly ominous aura and the presence of the Guaiyu Patriarch—both had left here not long ago.
“Buzz—!”
Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan unleashed his immortal power to break through the void, chasing without pause.
The two figures raced toward the forbidden zone nearest to the Guaiyu Sect.
This forbidden zone was vast—many times larger than the Deep Earth Forbidden Zone near Zhetian Xuan Sect.
It was here, tens of thousands of years ago, that a terrible ominous upheaval had erupted.
After suppressing the rebellion, the Guaiyu Sect took control of this place.
Back then, Guaiyu Sect was still called Tianyu Sect.
“Damn it, he’s chasing us!”
For Da Luo Golden Immortals, space posed almost no obstacle.
The Guaiyu Patriarch, accompanied by the sinister shadow, swiftly reached the deepest part of the forbidden zone.
Yet simultaneously, they felt Jiang Chengxuan’s unmasked aura pursuing at an astonishing speed, already entering the zone’s edge.
“Quick! Open the forbidden zone gate immediately.”
A cold, strange voice ordered. The Guaiyu Patriarch’s eyes flickered but he did not refuse.
In the dim depths of the forbidden zone stood an ancient stone gate, carved with mysterious runes.
Inside the gate was chaos and obscurity, impossible to peer through.
It was a passage once opened by an ominous race, sealed by a supreme being using special means—normally it could not be opened, only from within.
Previously, the ominous shadow had urged the Guaiyu Patriarch to open it, but he refused.
Now, cornered with no way out, he had no choice.
Moreover, their actions had to be swift!
Following the shadow’s lead, the Guaiyu Patriarch arrived before the stone gate.
Chanting ancient scriptures, he formed seals with his hands, causing the runes on the gate to glow one by one.
With Da Luo Golden Immortal power, breaking the seal on the gate was not difficult.
It was a path left open for them, though no one dared to open it—because beyond was the heavens, a terrifying battlefield facing the ominous race.
“Rumble—!”
In an instant, the runes lit up, and infinite Dao patterns manifested.
The aura of myriad worlds was reflected in mysterious light, pulling at the very space and time of this world!
Near the gate, chaos ensued—a realm beyond words, transcending this dimension.
Then the murky gate interior deepened into profound darkness.
Black lightning surged out, radiating supreme pressure that shook heaven and earth.
At that moment, a figure burning with immortal power descended from the sky, runes in hand striking first.
Countless golden chains intertwined, crashing toward the stone gate.
“Buzz—!”
In a flash, heavenly light burned the void, humming echoes filled the air, and all Dao laws and myriad methods froze.
Countless golden chains entwined the stone gate, powerful sealing forces suppressing the opening rift.
“He’s here!”
The Guaiyu Patriarch’s face turned ashen. If not Jiang Chengxuan, then who else?
The forbidden zone gate had yet to fully open, but Jiang Chengxuan had already sealed it.
“Does this person truly carry his aura?!”
Even the ominous shadow was shocked by Jiang Chengxuan’s aura.
From him, it felt a familiar power, unforgettable for eternity.
It was the power of a supreme being who single-handedly blocked them at the heavens.
“I shall bring you extramundane Hunyuan energy. May you break through and fight him together!”
The shadow grew tense; dangerous cold light flickered in its hollow eyes.
Without waiting for Guaiyu Sect’s reply, it dispersed instantly into black mist.
Tentacle-like black rays spread from within, probing into the rift at the gate’s opening.
In an instant, a force alien to this world was stirred, mingling chaos and void, merging with the mist along the tendrils.
Among it was even a trace of pure Hunyuan energy!
The next moment, after absorbing enough extramundane power, the shadow-shaped mist swelled rapidly, enveloping the Guaiyu Patriarch!
Under this, the Patriarch’s body was dyed with layers of extramundane energy.
He greedily devoured the traces of Hunyuan energy.
This was power every Da Luo Golden Immortal dreamed of. The Guaiyu Patriarch was no exception.
He had waited tens of thousands of years, laying plans in the forbidden zone but never obtaining it.
Now, even though the Hunyuan energy was mixed with other forces and no longer pure, the Patriarch relished it fully, refining it without loss.
Even in this dire moment, the Guaiyu Patriarch felt revitalized.
His aura steadily rose, breaking through the threshold.
Within his Dao laws and immortal power, the highest essence now dwelled.
“Hunyuan power! This is Hunyuan power!”
Once all calmed, the Patriarch’s momentum surged dramatically, his voice shaking the universe.
At this moment, he felt reborn, about to transcend!
“Jiang Chengxuan, prepare to die!”
Without hesitation, obeying his murderous intent, the Guaiyu Patriarch waved his huge hand, unleashing a frenzied explosion of immortal power.
Mixed with various chaotic forces, it surged down to suppress!
This power far surpassed his former self. Wherever his Dao laws passed, the void warped.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan’s gaze grew cold. He waved his hand, and the Ten Thousand Eternal Sacred Scriptures manifested wondrous heavenly phenomena.
Like the sky collapsing, he met the suppressive force head-on.
“Rumble—!”
Two forces collided, shaking the entire forbidden zone.
Storms raged, the void shattered inch by inch.
Endless ominous darkness surged, blotting out the sky, beasts roaring wildly.
“This is Hunyuan power. You can’t defeat me!”
In this clash, the Guaiyu Patriarch gained the upper hand, forcing Jiang Chengxuan to retreat several steps.
Filled with excitement, the Patriarch roared fiercely, his eyes flashing with savage light, regaining his dominance.
With the shadow’s aid, although he had not fully broken into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, he had stepped into the quasi-Hunyuan realm.
After all, he had prepared for tens of thousands of years, lacking only the crucial Hunyuan energy—now fully replenished.
“Chaos Domination Universe Technique!”
Next moment, filled with battle intent, the Patriarch roared, shifting from defense to offense.
Countless Guaiyu totem Dao laws erupted behind him, blotting out the sky, devouring thousands of miles at visible speed.
The myriad Dao laws of heaven and earth were tainted by ominous aura, forming a black hole around him.
All immortal power and space were corroded and repelled!
He unleashed a shocking magical formation at Jiang Chengxuan, exuding Hunyuan energy.
Space and time warped under his influence, even Jiang Chengxuan felt immense pressure.
Embedded with Hunyuan power, the Patriarch’s Dao laws could not be reversed.
All attacks from the Ten Thousand Eternal Sacred Scriptures were twisted, collapsed, and shattered!
Like great suns collapsing and destroying all!
This overwhelming suppression stirred the Patriarch’s mind, as if he held the power of life and death.
“Today, you came here seeking death!”
No sooner said than done, the Patriarch went completely mad, unleashing world-shattering attacks with various divine arts.
Storms of extramundane ominous energy swept the entire forbidden zone.
These terrifying forces did not belong to this world.
Even though Jiang Chengxuan summoned the Nine-Wonder Bodhi Lotus Lamp, raising his aura further, he could not withstand the Patriarch’s relentless suppression and was forced back step by step.
In truth, just before the stone gate, the situation reversed instantly.
Moreover, as Jiang Chengxuan and the Patriarch’s battle intensified, the stone gate sealed by the Ten Thousand Eternal Sacred Scriptures began to open again.
Profound darkness tore apart bit by bit.
The aura of another strange universe seeped out, forming dense black mist that corroded the sky.
Within the deep darkness, something seemed to stir restlessly.
Through the rift, it watched this world closely.
