Chapter 1309: Settling Old Scores (Part 2)

The battle between Yuanhan Immortal and the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect’s Earth Immortal was like watching two mirror images clash. Their techniques, Earth Immortal domains, and divine abilities were so similar that it was as if the two were reflections of one another, with their attacks blending and merging in a deadly dance.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chengxuan, having stepped back from the battle, quickly rejoined Shen Ruyan and the others. They surrounded him with respect, their eyes filled with admiration. Even the other cultivators, though not personally acquainted with him, made sure to offer respectful bows from a distance. Among them were Earth Immortals who, despite their own power, recognized Jiang Chengxuan’s formidable strength and responded in kind.

In the world of cultivation, strength commanded respect. Without a direct conflict of interest, Jiang Chengxuan was someone none of them wished to offend.

Jiang Chengxuan returned their gestures with equal courtesy, signaling his intention to defuse any lingering tensions. The atmosphere lightened, but the ferocity of the battle between Yuanhan Immortal and the Earth Immortal from Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect only intensified.

The two combatants fought with a ferocity that far exceeded what they had shown against Jiang Chengxuan. Their strikes were not just about outmaneuvering the other; they were driven by deep-seated hatred, with each willing to risk everything, including their own lives, to destroy the other.

Despite the brief exchange with Jiang Chengxuan, Yuanhan Immortal had emerged from that fight largely unscathed. However, in this battle against his old nemesis, both combatants were already bleeding, their divine blood splattering across the frozen battlefield.

The Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect’s Earth Immortal wielded a double-headed blade of unique design, forged from ice and capable of reflecting divine light and laws. The two Earth Immortals clashed in the shattered void, their bloodshot eyes fixed on one another, each strike accompanied by roars of fury.

The sight was both awe-inspiring and terrifying. This was no ordinary battle; it was a death match, fought not for treasure or glory but for the sole purpose of annihilating the other. The intensity of their killing intent permeated the battlefield, driving weaker cultivators to the brink of madness, their blood boiling with a desire to fight. Yet, the overwhelming power of the Earth Immortals kept them in check, reminding them of their own insignificance in the face of such might.

The battlefield itself had transformed into an icy wasteland, with towering pillars of frost piercing the sky and snow falling like a relentless storm. Only Jiang Chengxuan, with his Earth Immortal power, could clearly perceive the fight’s progression. Yuanhan Immortal, despite his wounds, held a slight advantage over his opponent, a testament to his strength.

Jiang Chengxuan had noticed something troubling during their previous battle: a lingering injury hindering Yuanhan Immortal’s full potential. This injury, likely sustained during the battle against the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect all those years ago, had stymied his progress for millennia. Perhaps the quest for the Celestial Thunder was connected to this very wound.

As the brutal fight raged on, it quickly reached its climax. In a final, desperate clash, both combatants unleashed their most powerful techniques, filling the air with the overwhelming force of their origins. A strike from Yuanhan Immortal, fueled by his deeper reserves of power, finally overwhelmed his opponent. The Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect’s Earth Immortal, realizing defeat was imminent, activated his Earth Immortal domain to shield himself from the fatal blow and fled into the distance, ending the long-standing grudge.

The spectators, awed by Yuanhan Immortal’s victory, bowed in respect. The man had fought two Earth Immortals in succession and emerged victorious, his strength undeniable.

Just as everyone was beginning to process what had happened, Jiang Chengxuan made another unexpected move. His form blurred as he approached the injured Yuanhan Immortal, his Earth Immortal domain flaring to life as he sped across the battlefield.

The crowd held its breath. Could it be that Jiang Chengxuan, despite his earlier words, intended to strike down Yuanhan Immortal now that he was weakened? Was his earlier retreat merely a ploy to lull Yuanhan Immortal into a false sense of security?

Even Yuanhan Immortal tensed, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. Though he did not believe Jiang Chengxuan to be a treacherous man, the stakes were too high to trust blindly.

But Jiang Chengxuan merely chuckled, dispelling the tension with a wave of his hand. “I bear no ill will,” he said, producing a glowing green pill from his sleeve. “This is a healing elixir. Take it, and it will help mend your wounds.”

Yuanhan Immortal hesitated for a moment, then accepted the pill. As he ingested it, the potent life force within the elixir spread through his body, rapidly healing his injuries.

“Thank you,” Yuanhan Immortal said, bowing deeply. The hostility between the two vanished, replaced by a mutual understanding. Their rivalry had not been born of hatred, and the two respected one another’s strength and honor.

“Your power is impressive,” Jiang Chengxuan said, his tone serious. “But I sense an old wound hindering your full potential. Am I correct?”

Yuanhan Immortal nodded, his expression unreadable. He was not surprised by Jiang Chengxuan’s perceptiveness.

“I believe you sought the Celestial Thunder to heal this wound,” Jiang Chengxuan continued, his voice steady. “I still cannot give it to you. However, I do have a way to treat your injury.”

Yuanhan Immortal’s eyes brightened at these words, a flicker of hope crossing his face.

“As a condition,” Jiang Chengxuan added, his voice firm, “I ask that you join my ranks. What do you say?”
