Chapter 1028: Shen Ruyan Strikes, Thunder of the Life and Death Rule

Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Chengxuan’s sword strike, reaching its peak power, tore open a terrifying golden abyss in the void, visible for thousands of miles.

This sword shocked all beings who sensed its disturbance; even those merely glimpsing it from afar felt their eyes singed by its sharpness.

Cultivators who were previously curious about approaching, after witnessing Jiang Chengxuan’s slash, immediately abandoned any such thoughts and swiftly retreated.

Even the intense battle between Daolord Skeleton and Qin Shenwu was disrupted by the aftershocks of the strike, forcing both to momentarily disengage and reflect on the situation.

Qin Shenwu was naturally overjoyed and shocked; his disciple had somehow reached a level capable of rivaling a Mahayana Daolord.

Conversely, Daolord Skeleton was shaken, thankful that he was not the one who had fallen victim to Jiang Chengxuan’s blade—a strike far more terrifying than any he had encountered in his numerous battles with Qin Shenwu.

The force of Jiang Chengxuan’s sword caused Daolord Phantom Ghost’s manifested realm of ghostly hells to begin collapsing.

Even the pathway of the Yellow Springs above was severed mid-air.

Countless enraged and snarling spirits, their grotesque forms twisting to extremes, were either dragged back into the Yellow Springs or completely annihilated by the strike.

Under meticulous planning, Jiang Chengxuan’s single strike critically wounded Daolord Phantom Ghost. Yet, Jiang knew that a Mahayana Daolord like his opponent would undoubtedly have some life-saving tricks up his sleeve.

Even after his Golden Void Sword cleaved through Daolord Phantom Ghost, Jiang Chengxuan could still sense his foe’s lingering presence.

As expected, amidst the chaos of the void where Daolord Phantom Ghost had been, a flicker of green light suddenly burst forth.

A gigantic ghost emerged from the chaos, its enormous maw erupting like a black hole, swallowing Jiang Chengxuan and a hundred miles of void in an instant.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. Just as Shen Ruyan was about to act, the presences of both Jiang Chengxuan and the ghost vanished from the area.

This scene restored confidence in Daolord Skeleton, who seized the moment while Qin Shenwu was momentarily dazed. His skeletal robe animated like a living creature, and he once again launched an assault using the Path of Bones. Meanwhile, he unleashed numerous bone specters to attack Shen Ruyan and the others.

He knew this was possibly the last opportunity Daolord Phantom Ghost had created for him; if they could not achieve a decisive result soon, they would have to concede this chance to the Haoran Sect.

Unwilling to let this happen, Daolord Skeleton unleashed all his power. Seven terrifying bone specters rose from the Path of Bones, each nearly as powerful as a Mahayana Daolord.

These bone specters, derived from Sacred Skeleton Sect’s ultimate treasures, matched or even surpassed the power of Qin Shenwu’s Five Elements Dharmic form.

In a desperate bid, Daolord Skeleton aimed to suppress Qin Shenwu right there.

Thunderous clashes erupted as twelve massive Dharmic forms collided in the void, dominating the landscape and causing chaos energy to explode everywhere.

Even the stars set in the immortal cave abode were dislodged by these titans, used as weapons in their epic battle.

The scene resembled a battle of ancient gods and demons, terrifying in its intensity.

The destruction wrought by just these two combatants was comparable to wars with abyssal demons.

Qin Shenwu, equipped with his arcane treasure, the Five Elements Primordial Armlet, could store energy of a minor plane and switch between offense and defense effortlessly.

The Five Elements power around him formed a pathway, with five-colored divine lights manifesting phantoms behind him, amplifying his every punch and palm strike, capable of plucking stars from the sky.

Under Daolord Skeleton’s frenzied attack, Qin Shenwu finally unleashed his full strength.

His hair stood on end, shining in five colors, transforming his entire being into an embodiment of the Five Elements.

Each strike carried the weight of the world, with the power of the earth itself, splitting the void into a realm of nothingness where Qin Shenwu and Daolord Skeleton battled to their limits, causing infinite fluctuations.

Meanwhile, Shen Ruyan wielded the Five Lightning Immortal Slayer outside this void, engaging several bone specters.

These specters, each having reached Dao Mastery, contained Daolord Skeleton’s Dao rule and posed a significant challenge.

However, Shen Ruyan’s strength was such that dealing with these bone specters was effortless; like Jiang Chengxuan, she was merely waiting for the right moment to strike.

Suddenly, in the midst of chaos, Daolord Skeleton let out a strange howl.

His skeletal robe dramatically expanded, seemingly alive, while his body slowly withered, creating a disturbing scene.

Yet, during this transformation, Daolord Skeleton’s aura rapidly expanded, indicating he was brewing a devastating final move.

At this critical moment, even Qin Shenwu grew incredibly serious, recognizing the desperation in Daolord Skeleton’s actions as a sign that a deadly confrontation was imminent.

Unexpectedly, just as the standoff reached its peak, another formidable presence burst forth in the area—a presence mighty enough to challenge a Mahayana Daolord. The Dao colors of black and white shot into the sky, manifesting a world of just these two hues that spanned vast, conflicting sensations of life, death, and immense, ruthless power.

A divine thunderbolt reflecting the transformations of life and death across worlds suddenly illuminated the heavens, its bearer none other than Shen Ruyan, wielding the Five Lightning Immortal Slayer.

Her eyes, now one black and one white, unleashed an unparalleled force. Almost instantly, the bone specters entangling her were reduced to ash.

Then, enveloped in the thunder carrying the limitless rules of life and death, Shen transformed into a vast, majestic dragon that crossed the void in a blink, charging directly at Daolord Skeleton.

The speed and power of this move were lightning-fast, utterly beyond anyone’s anticipation. This stroke of force effortlessly broke through the atmospheric seals imposed by the two battling Mahayana Daolords, reaching across a thousand miles in a flash, a terrifying spectacle to behold.

Daolord Skeleton, in the midst of summoning his final gambit, barely had time to react. As Shen Ruyan’s life and death infused thunder struck, it tore through the chaotic defenses and directly targeted him.

The power of the thunder not only disrupted the intricate offensive setup of Daolord Skeleton but also the fundamental elements of his being.

As the two colossal forces collided, the impact resounded through the cosmos, reverberating with a force that seemed to pause the very flow of time in their battleground.
