Chapter 868: Ten Breaths Is Enough to Deal With You

Editor: Henyee Translations

However, Jiang Chengxuan remained unmoved by the tension.

Suddenly turning his gaze towards the group of cultivators from the Sacred Skeleton Sect, he said,

“Everyone here understands the value of this Dao Origin Land.

Since we’re all present, an inevitable struggle for it will ensue.

But before that, shouldn’t we remove some irrelevant parties from this place?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Sacred Skeleton Sect’s members changed, and everyone else quickly caught on.

Indeed.

Having a demonic sect among these righteous sects was particularly glaring.

It was clear that the Sacred Skeleton Sect was the target Jiang Chengxuan suggested removing.

“I agree with Brother Jiang’s suggestion,” Gao Baiyue from the Pantheon Sect was the first to express his agreement, supported silently by a Dao Integration Saint standing next to him.

It could be seen that Gao Baiyue’s status in the Pantheon Sect was quite special.

The cultivators from the Qian Family also nodded in agreement, showing a united front among the three parties.

The remaining Divine Shadow Gate naturally had no objections either.

This collective agreement turned everyone’s attention towards the Qiankun Hall.

Saint Skywhite’s expression went through several changes.

Truth be told, he was reluctant to drive away the Sacred Skeleton Sect at this moment.

Keeping the Sacred Skeleton Sect around as a distraction could benefit the Qiankun Hall, now that this location had been discovered by so many.

However, with everyone else taking a stand, if the Qiankun Hall did not, they would stand out too much and could even be accused of colluding with the demonic path, a situation Saint Skywhite and his sect could not afford.

With no other option, Saint Skywhite had to agree, leading all the righteous sects present to turn their attention to the Sacred Skeleton Sect’s cultivators. “Would you prefer we force you out, or will you leave on your own?” Lu Yifan, a Dao Integration Saint from the Pantheon Sect, spoke up.

Hearing his words, the expressions of everyone from the Sacred Skeleton Sect turned extremely ugly.

Faced with the overwhelming number of righteous cultivators, the Sacred Skeleton Sect had no real option to stall for time, knowing full well that no one present was foolish enough to allow them to call for reinforcements.

Acknowledging their situation, the Sacred Skeleton Sect’s cultivators chose to leave without kicking up a fuss, changing the atmosphere among the remaining parties to one of subtle tension.

It was clear that the most crucial part was yet to come.

At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan spoke up again, addressing everyone present,

“To avoid unnecessary complications, why don’t we, the five sects and families present, split this Dao Origin Land evenly?

Each can have twenty percent of the territory, and then we can work together to set up the defensive array here.

What are your thoughts?”

As soon as he said this, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

But confusion quickly set in as they realized the arithmetic didn’t add up.

With Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan representing two distinct sects, the total number of parties involved actually reached six, not five as Jiang had claimed.

It was impossible for their two sects to only count as one spot, right?

This did not make sense.

Gao Baiyue of the Pantheon Sect quickly brought up this question.

The others also looked at Jiang Chengxuan.

Jiang Chengxuan chuckled and replied,

“When I mentioned five sects and families, I wasn’t mistaken. I simply did not include the Qiankun Hall in our count.”

“What?”

As soon as Jiang Chengxuan finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

This revelation left everyone stunned, especially the cultivators from the Qiankun Hall, who were visibly enraged by the exclusion.

Saint Skywhite, in particular, showed a flicker of murderous intent as he focused on Jiang Chengxuan, threateningly saying,

“Boy, you’re courting death!”

“To see whether I’m courting death, we’ll find out soon enough,” Jiang Chengxuan replied coldly, his eyes turning icy.

“We haven’t settled our scores from our last encounter in the Immortal Sea City.

Today seems like a good opportunity to conclude that matter.”

The audacity of Jiang Chengxuan’s challenge shocked everyone present.

No one had expected him to seek a conclusive battle with Saint Skywhite right then and there.

Lu Yifan and the others could not help but frown.

This was because they all thought of a problem.

A conflict at this juncture could drag on without resolution, possibly attracting demonic cultivators to the site if news of their skirmish spread.

Sensing the crowd’s apprehension, Jiang Chengxuan reassured them,

“Rest assured, dealing with Saint Skywhite and his followers won’t take long. Ten breaths should suffice.”

This bold claim astonished everyone once again, and the members of the Qiankun Hall, including Saint Skywhite, could not help but laugh in fury.

“Such arrogance, youngster! I’d like to see how you plan to ‘deal with me’ in just ten breaths!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Skywhite transformed into an expanse of the sky itself, enveloping the area around Jiang Chengxuan with the rules of his Dao.

Jiang Chengxuan found himself cut off from drawing any elemental spirit qi from his surroundings. Even the application of rules became sluggish.

However, Jiang Chengxuan’s demeanor remained calm.

BOOM!

Raising his hand slowly into a fist, he unleashed a formidable force as if stars themselves were exploding.

A terrifying power rushed into the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sky canopy that Saint Skywhite had become was violently shaken by Jiang Chengxuan’s power, drawing shocked expressions from all the onlookers.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang actually…”

Buzz!

At that moment, the silhouette of a dragon and an elephant briefly flashed behind Jiang Chengxuan.

The punch he threw became even more ferocious and terrifying, creating tiny cracks in the space around him.

He had broken through the bottleneck of Dao Integration.

Such destruction of the void was possible only when a cultivator’s strength reached Dao Integration.

“Roar!”

A high-pitched dragon’s roar echoed in everyone’s ears, followed by an even more terrifying force erupting within the canopy, causing a series of loud booms.

The once unbreakable sky canopy began to show numerous cracks, all this happening in less than three breaths’ time..
