Chapter 1027: Reversal of Life and Death, Daolord Phantom Ghost Severely Wounded

Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Ruyan and Jiang Chengxuan were undoubtedly the main force against Daolord Phantom Ghost, manifesting the Five Elements Samsara World and the Five Elements Divine Thunder, forcefully creating a sanctuary within the Ghostly Hell.

Faced with the endless tide of evil spirits, Jiang Chengxuan wielded the Deep Earth Halberd, his Dharmic form manifesting and imposing like a solitary defender against thousands, each sweep releasing terrifying power that shattered the ghastly spirits on impact.

Shen Ruyan pushed the Five Elements Divine Thunder to its limits, transforming it into five thunder dragons that rampaged continuously through the tide of ghosts, the thunder rolling and exploding in the void, bursting with light and heat.

Both at the peak of Dao Mastery, they acted as a formidable barrier against the specters of the Yellow Springs, protecting Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan with their decisive actions.

However, this path of the Yellow Springs was merely one of Daolord Phantom Ghost’s divine powers. He himself still lurked within the Ghostly Hell, waiting for the opportune moment to annihilate everyone. This peril cast a shadow over the hearts of Jiang Chengxuan and his allies, forcing them to divert their focus and consume more energy in battle.

As expected, while Jiang Chengxuan was engaged with several of Daolord Phantom Ghost’s spectral warriors, a terrifying surge of the Daolord’s presence erupted from a corner of the Ghostly Hell.

The formidable power of a Mahayana Daolord crushed through the void, and a massive ghostly green hand, clawing in a heart-piercing gesture, fiercely struck towards Jiang Chengxuan’s back.

This attack, catching Jiang Chengxuan in the act of slaughtering ghosts, was cunning and deadly.

What Daolord Phantom Ghost did not realize was that Jiang Chengxuan had deliberately exposed this weakness as a bait to lure him into striking.

Believing that he would be the first target, especially along with Shen Ruyan, if he showed an opening, Daolord Phantom Ghost would surely aim for him.

After all, who could imagine someone like Jiang Chengxuan, who could annihilate opponents of the same level almost instantly if he did not conceal his strength?

Thus, the strike from Daolord Phantom Ghost was entirely within Jiang Chengxuan’s calculations.

The eerie ghost hand arrived almost instantly, sealing off Jiang Chengxuan’s surroundings in a blink, with the overwhelming power of a Mahayana Dao rule pressing down, leaving him seemingly no escape.

“Boy, today I’ll start with you! Die!” Daolord Phantom Ghost exclaimed cruelly, excitement in his eyes as he watched Jiang Chengxuan caught off guard, about to have his heart clawed out by the claws of the Yellow Springs.

The sharp ghost claw tore through the void, causing intense pain in Jiang Chengxuan’s chest, as if his heart was being lacerated.

But in this moment of life and death, Jiang Chengxuan’s mind was clear, devoid of any panic. He knew well the risks involved in his ploy.

He understood that in a battle between Mahayana Daolords, even if one is stronger, unless the opponent chooses to engage directly, the fight could last years without causing serious injuries.

Daolord Phantom Ghost was known among the Mahayana Daolords as the most cunning and fearful of death. Even if facing an opponent at the realm of Dao Mastery, he wouldn’t act rashly.

Jiang Chengxuan took the risk, showing a flaw to draw out a direct confrontation. He had an unparalleled advantage at this moment—Daolord Phantom Ghost was unaware that he possessed the power of a Mahayana Daolord.

Even facing Daolord Phantom Ghost directly, Jiang Chengxuan was not only unafraid of defeat but likely to prevail.

This discrepancy was Jiang Chengxuan’s greatest asset in deciding the battle’s outcome.

Daolord Phantom Ghost had not anticipated that there existed someone in the realm of Dao Mastery with the combat power of a Mahayana Daolord, and that person was even more cautious and cunning than he.

As the Yellow Springs ghost claw tore through Jiang Chengxuan’s back, spraying blood, Daolord Phantom Ghost’s face twisted into a satisfied and cruel smirk.

But the next moment, Jiang Chengxuan forcibly turned around, facing Daolord Phantom Ghost’s smirk without expression.

This eerie scene instilled a sudden sense of foreboding in the suspicious Ghostly Daolord.

But it was too late.

Just as the Yellow Springs ghost claw was about to inflict severe damage, black and white Dao powers erupted from Jiang Chengxuan.

An ancient and vast aura enveloped him, and his eyes eerily turned one black and one white.

“Reversal of Life and Death!”

Jiang Chengxuan’s voice was calm but resonant, invoking the power of the life and death rules. At such close proximity, even a Mahayana Daolord had no chance to evade.

This strike, newly mastered by Jiang Chengxuan, harnessed the profound rules of life and death.

The forces of life and death, bizarrely intertwined, ensnared both Jiang Chengxuan and Daolord Phantom Ghost.

The white Dao of life wrapped around Jiang Chengxuan, while the black Dao of death clung to Daolord Phantom Ghost. The two opposing forces connected and began to reverse.

“Ah! Ahhh!” Daolord Phantom Ghost screamed in agony as a massive gash appeared on his body, as if clawed through by a talon.

Meanwhile, the wounds that had appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s body during the battle miraculously healed, restored to pristine condition in the burst of this strange ability.

This power of the life and death technique was extraordinary—it instantaneously swapped the states of life between the caster and the target, transferring Jiang Chengxuan’s impending death onto Daolord Phantom Ghost, while Jiang Chengxuan absorbed the life force meant for Daolord Phantom Ghost.

Such power was overwhelming and enigmatic, akin to the inescapable and unmanageable forces of life and death themselves.

The explosion of this life and death ability instantly wounded Daolord Phantom Ghost, bypassing all his defenses.

Jiang Chengxuan, having carefully planned this attack, did not miss the rare opportunity presented. The next moment, his arcane treasure, the Golden Void Sword, was summoned in his hands. Instantly, Jiang Chengxuan unleashed his full power, his aura surging beyond that of a Mahayana Daolord.

“Slash!”

A golden river of light instantly enveloped the heavens and earth, even slicing through the dense ghostly domains.

The Dao rule of Daolord Phantom Ghost, once a formidable force, shattered instantaneously, causing a massive backlash against him.

In an instant, his injuries worsened significantly, and in his eyes filled with immense fear, Jiang Chengxuan’s Golden Void Sword struck.

This stroke, far surpassing the typical power of a Mahayana Daolord, solidly hit Daolord Phantom Ghost. In a flash, his ghostly green robes were cleaved in two.
