Chapter 1971: Great Hunyuan Da Luo, The Heavenly Scheme (Part 2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Then you shall enter reincarnation.”
Seeing the Guaiyu Patriarch fall into despair, Jiang Chengxuan did not hesitate. With a single finger pointed forward, invisible Hunyuan power combined with immense immortal force surged forth like a celestial river, sweeping through the ominous darkness!
Wherever it passed, all laws bowed in submission, all obstacles dissolved. Neither the Guaiyu Patriarch’s totem Dao laws nor the extramundane ominous forces could impede it in the slightest.
The Guaiyu Patriarch’s eyes bulged, his whole body trembling as he exhausted all his strength to resist. Complex Hunyuan power manifested into a magical seal to counterattack.
Yet before Jiang Chengxuan’s finger, the seal shattered instantly, twisted out of shape, and vanished into nothingness!
This strike was overwhelmingly mighty, transcending worldly Dao laws. Even if the Guaiyu Patriarch fled through time—past or future—he could not escape it!
“No—! I will not die! I still must…”
Before he could finish his desperate scream, the terrifying heavenly light engulfed the Guaiyu Patriarch. He was decomposed into countless points of light; all that he was scattered into the void.
Even the shadow that had always clung to him could not escape. After the Guaiyu Patriarch fell, it was forced out and also consumed by the Hunyuan power, screaming in agony.
Attempting to flee toward the stone gate and ascend to the heavens, it was annihilated halfway, turning to dust and smoke!
Suddenly, the heavens cleared; the chaos dispersed, and the ominous black mist subsided, revealing a bright and clear sky.
A Great Da Luo Golden Immortal renowned for tens of thousands of years in the ancient realm had perished inside the forbidden zone.
Simultaneously, the birth of an incredible Hunyuan Great Da Luo Golden Immortal was witnessed.
“Outside the forbidden zone—the heavens…”
Despite having slain the Guaiyu Patriarch, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression remained unchanged. When the system granted him the final Hunyuan Dao Fruit, all this was already destined.
Now, his gaze rested on the forbidden zone’s gate. His thoughts had transcended the ancient realm.
Heaven, ominous and strange—these transcendent existences all suddenly appeared before him, within reach and pressing close.
According to the Huotian Immortal, a Hunyuan Great Da Luo Golden Immortal gained the right to enter the heavenly realm, to resist ominous races and protect beyond the ancient realm.
For hundreds of thousands of years, no one dared to open the forbidden zone gate, even if the Hunyuan opportunity lay just beyond the door. Even Da Luo Golden Immortals feared to go out, only waiting in place, revealing how terrifying it was.
“Then let me see what this so-called heaven truly looks like!”
Fearless, Jiang Chengxuan stepped alone across the void toward the forbidden zone gate.
It was a simple stone door, its runes half-lit, already half-open.
Jiang Chengxuan pressed his hand on the door, infusing it with Hunyuan power.
Instantly, all runes lit up, illuminating the entire forbidden zone and its heavens.
Almost simultaneously, all the forbidden zones throughout the boundless ancient realm felt the tremor.
Their gates quivered, flickering with light and shadow.
This shocked many Da Luo Golden Immortals who had laid down contingencies deep in the forbidden zones, waiting for the Hunyuan opportunity.
But after tens of thousands of years, no opportunity came—only someone dared to open it!
“Who opened the forbidden zone gate?!”
“After waiting tens of thousands of years, someone finally lost patience?”
“This act will doom the entire ancient realm! Who dares act so recklessly?”
In an instant, the immortal beings hiding in eternal life were shocked; some questioned, some lamented, others raged.
But undoubtedly, none could stop or follow Jiang Chengxuan’s steps—they could only watch and comment.
They did not know the one who opened the gate was not a Da Luo Golden Immortal, but a Hunyuan Great Da Luo Golden Immortal.
Not for the Hunyuan opportunity, but to protect the ancient realm’s people and battle enemies beyond!
“Rumble!”
At the Guaiyu Sect’s domain, the sky changed colors as a massive whirlpool spun, blotting out thousands of miles.
An ominous pressure descended mysteriously.
Many immortals witnessed this but did not understand what was happening.
That apocalyptic scene frightened countless living beings, who gasped in terror.
Only when a ray of light surged against the heavens and vanished into the whirlpool’s center did the strange phenomena gradually subside, reassuring the crowd.
“Did it finally happen? Was this the lord’s plan, or was he the savior all along…”
A lone figure hurried over, gazing at the barely visible fading light and murmuring to himself.
His expression was complex—hopeful, solemn, worried.
This was the Huotian Immortal.
He knew Jiang Chengxuan had fulfilled the lifelong wish of his followers.
Meanwhile, in Haoran Xuan Sect, Shen Ruyan’s heart trembled. Though she could not see the strange phenomena, she knew Jiang Chengxuan had left this world, heading somewhere beyond.
…
Stepping through the forbidden zone gate, Jiang Chengxuan felt himself dissolve into a point of spirit light, vanishing in the great flow.
He ascended against the heavens, following a transcendent force, crossing countless layers of space, unfamiliar and complex Dao laws, myriad heavens and worlds, and the river of time itself.
He did not know how long he traveled or how far—perhaps only moments passed before all appeared before his eyes.
No boundaries, no heaven or earth—only vast void, but dazzling beyond measure.
Countless lights and Dao laws wove into the backdrop, wondrously profound, brilliant, ancient, and full of solemnity.
No immortal or spiritual power existed here—this was a realm where everything was and nothing was.
All things could be obtained, yet nothing was visible—this was the heavens!
A realm incomprehensible to ordinary beings.
Even Jiang Chengxuan, now, could not fully grasp or control this realm.
He had only earned the right to stand here and communicate with it.
“Rumble!”
A booming sound echoed in the distance. Jiang Chengxuan sensed that somewhere in the heavens, destruction and chaos raged without restraint.
He felt ominous energy and Hunyuan power in turmoil, time and space fluctuating millions of times in an instant.
Soon, focusing his mind, he followed the ripple to its source.
Before him lay a galaxy condensed from countless chaotic energies, where many figures wielded supreme power, destroying millions of stars and manipulating space-time.
They flickered incessantly, accompanied by apocalyptic power erupting and slicing through chaos.
They were both real and illusory, impossible to distinguish clearly.
Jiang Chengxuan’s expression grew grave; his immortal blood surged.
He knew this was the battlefield of ominous races and heavenly powers.
Countless flickering figures were traces left by their battles.
Some battles happened in the past, some in the future. Each scene was real yet dreamlike!
“Without him, you cannot stop us!”
“We, the heavenly race, will ultimately rule all!”
“Don’t think you can break the blockade. Even if we fight to our last drop of blood, we will kill you all!”
“Ominous races, how dare you speak of the heavenly Dao? Ridiculous!”
Amid the thunder of war drums, Jiang Chengxuan heard their voices—the echoes of times long past, eternally preserved by the power of space-time.
“He will return. We will have hope. The ancient realm will never perish!”
That resolute battle cry stirred Jiang Chengxuan’s blood and spirit.
These were true prodigies who once ruled an era, capable of defying heaven itself.
Yet for countless lives, they battled the ominous races here in the heavens, indifferent to death or eternal existence.
They fought on for hundreds of thousands of years—heroic and moving!
Even though their immortal kings had fallen silent, they never abandoned their faith, willing to fight to the death, waiting for his return.
For some reason, Jiang Chengxuan’s thoughts became complex, revealing rare emotions—mixed with admiration, exhilaration, awe, nostalgia, and sorrow.
