Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 995
Chapter 995: All Trump Cards Out, A Desperate Gamble
Editor: Henyee Translations
In that instant, the forces within that space went utterly berserk.
The supreme power of the void rift, the supreme true sun fire created by intense fluctuations, and the chaotic energy filling the void all collided.
The three grand and supreme forces met in this space, causing an incredibly terrifying wave of energy that instantly burst forth, ripping the chaotic realm apart.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dreadful fluctuations and explosions completely dominated the area, sending shockwaves that were felt throughout the celestial cave.
The apocalyptic scene lasted an indeterminate amount of time.
When everything finally settled, only a void filled with chaos energy remained, with the searing true sun’s fire still burning fiercely at the edges.
The landscape was devastated, resembling a world that had been completely destroyed, barren of any life.
In the void, only the silhouette of a dragon-like beast stood, undoubtedly the ninth-level dragon beast. Not far from it, the other ninth-level beast was barely clinging to life, nearly dead.
Its body, though still exuding the deterrence of a Daolord, was utterly drained of power.
The dragon beast’s surprise attack had forced it to expend all its energy in defense, and the subsequent chain of events had pushed it to the brink of death.
Its massive body lay wrecked like ruins, barely breathing as the ninth-level dragon beast approached.
In the struggle for this opportunity, it was about to pay with its life, while Jiang Chengxuan, the interloper it despised, seemed to have vanished into ash.
The ninth-level dragon beast, without wasting words, used its power of the Daolord to deliver the final blow to its foe.
A ninth-level beast thus fell, its Dao rule dissipated, manifesting as a sorrowful cry from the heavens, and the force of nothingness finally dispersed.
Joy surged on the face of the ninth-level dragon beast, for it had not only eliminated its opponent but also seized the chance to claim the supreme spiritual fruit.
Every part of a ninth-level beast is a treasure, and by consuming the corpse of the ninth-level beast along with the supreme spiritual fruit, it could potentially ascend to the Immortal Realm immediately.
Such an opportunity was enough to drive it to ecstasy.
But then, an unexpected twist occurred.
From the remnants of the void entrance, a blazingly intense golden light burst forth. Mixed with strange chaotic energy and multicolored divine light, different divine fires, like a comet from another world, swiftly struck towards the ninth-level dragon beast.
This terrifying attack was unexpectedly from Jiang Chengxuan, whom they thought had been obliterated.
In a moment of life and death, Jiang had unleashed all his power and edged into the periphery of the void space, avoiding all damage.
Now, with the ninth-level void beast fallen and its void force dissipated, Jiang decisively surged forth at full strength, bursting from the brink.
This gamble was truly fraught with danger, a near brush with death.
At the moment he was struck by the true sun’s fire, he had summoned the Eternal Sun Furnace, using countless exotic fires for protection.
Afterward, leveraging the ascended Golden Void Sword and his full power enhanced by the Five Elements Divine Light, he clung to the edge of the void entrance, barely holding on.
This move, from death to life, allowed him to escape from the fatal blows of the two ninth-level beasts, preserving all his strength.
Such a gamble was risky. If the ninth-level void beast had not perished, he would have been lost to the void.
Fortunately, this time, he had gambled correctly and emerged victorious.
At this moment, Jiang unleashed the greatest power of his life, striking at the most relaxed and vulnerable moment of the ninth-level dragon beast.
The outcome was predictable.
The ascended Golden Void Sword, now capable of slaying a Daolord, gathered all of Jiang’s supreme power and mercilessly pierced the chest of the ninth-level dragon beast, shattering its heart.
Even its Dao rule shattered under this strike, caught entirely off guard by this full-force attack.
The ninth-level dragon beast, from extreme joy to despair, saw its face freeze in frustration and resentment.
It did not achieve ascension, and in such a state, there was no possibility of survival.
In its last moments, it saw the figure of the human cultivator it had underestimated—Jiang Chengxuan. His determination and resolve were evident until the end, the very reason he had survived and triumphed.
Roar!
The ninth-level dragon beast, despite all its schemes, died unwillingly alongside its opponent, both falling in this world.
Only when the spectacle of the Dao fall unfolded did Jiang’s mind finally settle.
In this battle, facing two opponents of Daolord realm, he had survived by gambling with his life and turned the tables in a counterattack, winning in the end.
This battle could be considered the pinnacle of his journey since entering Dao Mastery, achieving what even a reincarnated immortal might struggle to accomplish—slaying two Daolord with the power of Dao Mastery alone. The battle epitomized a culmination of countless coincidences, opportunities, and sheer survival instincts, all bound by his willingness to risk everything.
In the wake of such a battle, even with Jiang Chengxuan’s temperament, a sense of surreal achievement washed over him, as if living through a fantastical dream.
After several moments of contemplation to calm his mind, he finally snapped back to reality, beginning to harvest the remains of the ninth-level beasts.
These materials, capable of crafting Arcane Treasures, were more precious than any treasure he had encountered before.
Now was the time to reap the rewards of his victory.
The remains of the two ninth-level spiritual beasts, rich in rare materials and treasures, along with the ninth-level supreme spiritual fruit tree, represented unparalleled opportunities that any Daolordlord would envy, even to the point of risking their lives.
Such treasures, Jiang Chengxuan knew, could tempt even immortals who might stumble upon this scene to claim these powerful legacies for themselves.
Seated amidst the ruins, Jiang pulled out arrays and elixirs to rapidly restore his condition. After some time, when he had regained about seventy percent of his peak strength, he truly allowed himself to relax.
Now was the moment to collect the spoils of war.
The materials and treasures from the bodies of the ninth-level spiritual beasts were not just rare; they were treasures unseen in ages. These, coupled with the ninth-level supreme spiritual fruit, constituted an unparalleled windfall.
Such fortune, he mused, might well be the greatest opportunity of his life since acquiring the achievement system.
Even with his stoic nature, Jiang felt a wave of dreamlike disbelief wash over him, as though he was living a fantastical dream.
After several moments of centering himself, he finally set about harvesting the materials from the carcasses of the ninth-level beasts. These resources were crucial for refining Arcane Treasures and were more valuable than any loot he had previously obtained.
Moreover, these resources served as the best evidence of his incredible victory, a testament to his supreme glory.
