Chapter 1307: Suppressing Yuanhan, Ancient Matters (Part 2)

Editor: Henyee Translations

The Primordial Water and Fire Sword in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand shimmered with an ethereal light, its form flickering as if it were a mirage, yet it contained an awe-inspiring power that was impossible to fathom. Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan swung the sword, slicing through the void with a force that seemed to split the heavens and the earth.

In an instant, the power of Primordial Water and Fire surged to its peak, filling the entire universe with a hazy primordial glow that illuminated the world. The dazzling aurora from Yuanhan Immortal clashed with this primordial light, causing the South River Stone Forest to tremble violently, as if the heavens themselves were mourning.

When these two forces collided, the entire South River Immortal Domain fell into a deafening silence. All laws of existence were distorted; time and space became warped and indistinguishable. Those who were watching could no longer perceive what was happening, feeling as though they were being tossed around by an unseen force, unable to discern anything in the world around them.

Amid this chaos, only a few Earth Immortals who had activated their Earth Immortal Domains remained unaffected.

“It’s the power of an Earth Immortal treasure!”

At that moment, not only was Yuanhan Immortal shocked, but the other Earth Immortal observers also gasped in astonishment. The revelation that Jiang Chengxuan wielded an Earth Immortal treasure—a rarity that was nearly on par with primordial artifacts—stunned everyone. Such treasures were even rarer than the Five Elements Immortal Stones and were believed to be finite in number within the universe.

In the entire Xuanming Immortal Domain, Earth Immortal treasures had not appeared for countless millennia. Yet here, in this instant, one had emerged in Jiang Chengxuan’s hands! The shock was palpable.

As the cataclysmic aftershocks gradually subsided, the spectators could finally see the aftermath—the South River Stone Forest had been nearly obliterated. The previously self-regenerating laws of the forest had been completely suppressed by the two combatants. The once densely packed forest had been reduced to nothing, leaving behind a barren, lifeless plain.

The residual power of Primordial Water and Fire permeated every inch of space, mingling with the lingering traces of Yuanhan Immortal’s Northern Polar Divine Light, giving the area a surreal, dreamlike quality.

“It really is him!”

“The one who fought the Yin Xuan Immortal Sect earlier—it’s definitely the same person!”

As the observers gazed upon the scene, several Earth Immortals couldn’t help but exclaim in realization. The scene before them was eerily similar to the aftermath in the Silent Profound Valley, with the same energies and auras present. Without a doubt, the person who had recently clashed with the Yin Xuan Immortal Sect was none other than Jiang Chengxuan.

This realization led to a clearer understanding of why Yin Zhe and Yin Lian had been defeated. With an Earth Immortal treasure in his possession, Jiang Chengxuan could easily dominate anyone of the same level, provided he wasn’t overwhelmed by sheer numbers or significantly higher cultivation.

Now, in the midst of this battle, the outcome was becoming apparent. After Jiang Chengxuan unleashed the Primordial Water and Fire Sword, Yuanhan Immortal’s most powerful technique was shattered, and even his Earth Immortal Domain trembled. Despite the strength of Yuanhan Immortal’s Northern Polar Divine Blade, it paled in comparison to the might of a true Earth Immortal treasure. With the appearance of Jiang Chengxuan’s sword, the battle’s conclusion seemed inevitable.

Yuanhan Immortal’s eyes flashed with unwillingness as his body flickered with unstable immortal light, and his brows furrowed deeply. He no longer dared to attack, knowing that the overwhelming power of the Primordial Water and Fire Sword had even suppressed his Earth Immortal Domain. Any further offensive would only expose his vulnerabilities.

He realized that to continue this fight, he would have to rely solely on defense, using his Earth Immortal Domain to buy time and hope for an opening.

But just as the two were locked in a tense standoff, a sudden voice echoed from the distant sky.

“Halt! Allow me to aid you!”

A figure, radiating Earth Immortal energy, tore through the layers of chaos and shattered void, carrying the power of an entire azure world on his back. He descended upon the battlefield, his appearance startling everyone, including Jiang Chengxuan.

This newcomer was an elderly man with a bald head adorned with only a few wisps of white hair and deeply sunken eyes that gleamed with a vulture-like malice. His gaze was filled with intense hatred as it locked onto Yuanhan Immortal, burning with fury.

The man’s body was enveloped in a cold, frigid flame, his Earth Immortal energy roiling as he directed his killing intent solely at Yuanhan Immortal.

This unexpected turn of events caused Jiang Chengxuan to pause in surprise. He could sense that this man was indeed an Earth Immortal, but he had no idea who he was.

“Hmm… The aura of Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect… So, some of you managed to survive after all?” Yuanhan Immortal’s cold voice filled in the gaps in Jiang Chengxuan’s understanding.

The Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect—the name was familiar to Jiang Chengxuan, as it had been mentioned earlier by the onlookers as the sect Yuanhan Immortal had annihilated millennia ago. This man, then, must be one of the last survivors of that sect.

It seemed fate had dealt a cruel hand, for Yuanhan Immortal, upon re-emerging into the world, had crossed paths with one of his old enemies. And now, with a blood feud to settle, the two were locked in a deadly confrontation.

“Yuanhan, you beast! You slaughtered my Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect!” The man’s voice trembled with barely contained rage. “Do you have any idea how long I’ve been searching for you? Today, I will use your head to honor the spirits of my fallen sect! I will carve you into pieces!”

As the man’s venomous words spilled out, his killing intent surged like a volcanic eruption, shocking all who witnessed it. Even Jiang Chengxuan, sensing the depth of this vendetta, reined in some of his energy, keenly aware that there was more to this story than what was being revealed.

And indeed, Jiang Chengxuan’s instincts were correct.

Faced with the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect survivor’s fury, Yuanhan Immortal showed no guilt or remorse. Instead, he sneered, his eyes flashing with immense hatred of his own.

“The Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect deserved to die! A bunch of beasts, all of you!” Yuanhan Immortal’s voice thundered across the battlefield, revealing the truth behind the ancient grudge. “Years ago, your sect’s internal strife and scheming drove my master out, casting him into despair. When I finally found my path to immortality, you sought to force me back into your ranks.

“I refused to return to your sect, and you hounded me at every turn. I endured it all. But when that wretch Xuan Yun schemed to murder my sister… How could I not destroy you all?”

With Yuanhan Immortal’s revelation, the long-buried truth of this ancient feud began to surface. Though known as a famous rogue cultivator throughout the Xuanming Immortal Domain, Yuanhan Immortal did have his own immortal heritage, originating from the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect, albeit not through official channels.

His mentor, a venerable elder of the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect, had been ousted during the sect’s power struggles. Disillusioned, the elder passed his legacy to Yuanhan Immortal before passing away, leaving his disciple with both great power and a latent curse.

Yuanhan Immortal’s rise to fame attracted the attention of the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect, which sought to reclaim him through both coercion and persuasion. However, accustomed to the freedom of a rogue cultivator and harboring resentment towards the sect, Yuanhan Immortal decisively rejected their overtures.

This rejection enraged the sect’s leadership, who then ordered their disciples to hunt Yuanhan Immortal, sabotaging his cultivation at every turn. Though not yet an Earth Immortal at the time, Yuanhan Immortal endured these hardships, until one of the sect’s schemes accidentally claimed the life of his only sister.

This tragedy drove Yuanhan Immortal to sever all ties with the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect. He then fought tooth and nail to seize the opportunity within an ancient relic site, ultimately breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm. In a blind rage, he stormed the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect and slaughtered its leadership, leaving none alive.
