Chapter 1379 - 1379 The Black Sea Calamity's Source, Return to the Alliance (Part 2)
Chapter 1379: The Black Sea Calamity’s Source, Return to the Alliance (Part 2) Chapter 1379: The Black Sea Calamity’s Source, Return to the Alliance (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Chengxuan did not retreat a single step.
With Immortal light surging from his body, he charged directly at the overwhelming tide of calamity energy.
“Hum—!” Without a moment’s hesitation, he unleashed the Primordial Waterfire Sword.
As it struck the calamity energy, a thunderous explosion echoed through the heavens.
An endless blaze of fire erupted, accompanied by a roaring surge of tides, as red and blue galaxies emerged from thin air, spanning across the sky.
The vast calamity energy, which loomed as deep as a black hole and as enormous as a mountain range, was instantly cleaved apart by the sword, as if splitting a mountain in two.
One sword strike was enough to scatter a massive swath of calamity energy!
What had appeared as an unstoppable force before many Immortal sects now seemed trivial and insignificant in the face of Jiang Chengxuan’s overwhelming might.
Although the calamity energy was menacing and grotesque, it was but a force he could suppress with a single hand.
“Roar—!
Roar—!” However, it was far from over.
The scale of this calamity surge was immense.
In mere moments, the heavenly river that Jiang Chengxuan had carved through the energy was engulfed once again by the churning waves of black fog.
The path ahead was entirely blocked by an endless mass of deep, sinister mist.
Within that calamity energy, flashes of red lightning surged violently, and strange black shadows emerged like wandering ghosts, accompanied by eerie, soul-piercing wails.
Yet, Jiang Chengxuan remained unmoved, his mind steadfast, his heart free from distractions.
Wielding his Primordial Waterfire Sword, he conjured countless sword blossoms, transforming them into lotus flowers of primordial origin, piercing through the darkness and smashing into the eerie shadows.
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!” In that instant, Jiang Chengxuan’s assault ignited the calamity itself, as the primordial lotus flowers erupted, carving massive holes into the calamity energy.
Within those gaps, the grotesque forms of the calamity spirits were revealed.
Unlike the ones Jiang Chengxuan had encountered in Liuyun Valley, these spirits were even more terrifying.
These calamity spirits were massive, ghostly figures that darted through the calamity energy like deep-sea creatures swimming through the ocean.
Their forms were ghastly, with jagged teeth and skin covered in grotesque folds, resembling a patchwork of different monstrous sea creatures crudely sewn together.
Even their semi-transparent, semi-solid forms were enough to instill fear in anyone who laid eyes on them.
“Truly hideous…” Jiang Chengxuan muttered to himself as he effortlessly cut them down.
It was clear that these calamity spirits were intricately connected to the cursed tree from which they had been spawned, their grotesque forms a product of the energies they had absorbed.
Yet, this did nothing to sway Jiang Chengxuan’s resolve.
As the calamity spirits swarmed around him, his sword and the power of his Earth Immortal domain made him an unstoppable force, slicing through the grotesque forms and dissipating the calamity energy like a passing nightmare.
Jiang Chengxuan entered a trance-like state of slaughter, his every move cleaving through the heavens and earth, determined to tear apart anything that stood in his path until the world was once again clear and calm.
Days passed in this manner, and when the battle finally subsided, the once chaotic void was left in ruins.
Jagged rifts in space, deep scars of the battle, and turbulent clouds of chaotic energy swirled throughout the shattered realm, like a desolate wasteland.
But the once overwhelming calamity energy had vanished without a trace, and the monstrous calamity spirits were nowhere to be seen, completely obliterated.
Jiang Chengxuan stood victorious, his feet planted firmly on his Earth Immortal domain, the Primordial Waterfire Sword sheathed at his back.
Seven-colored Immortal light radiated from him, exuding an aura of profound wisdom and boundless might as he stood as the sole master of this devastated battlefield.
With the relentless power of the Primordial Waterfire Sword, Jiang Chengxuan had emerged as the undisputed victor of this conflict, crushing the calamity that had threatened to engulf the region.
“Whew…” He let out a slow breath, remaining composed as ever.
He knew this battle was but one of the countless calamities yet to come.
While this particular threat had been vanquished, it did little to change the overall course of events.
“Let’s move on…” With a flick of his wrist, a silvery light of spatial power surged from his body.
With a single slash, he tore open the fabric of space and began his journey back to the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
… “Something’s happening to the southwest!
Calamity energy is about to erupt!” “Send reinforcements immediately!
We must suppress it!” Not far from where Jiang Chengxuan had vanquished the calamity, a group of cultivators hurried toward the scene.
They were dressed in the garb of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and at the helm was none other than Red Blade Immortal, one of Jiang Chengxuan’s trusted allies, whom he had brought back from the Southern Stone Forest.
The group’s expressions were solemn, their energies at their peak, and their Immortal treasures glowing with brilliance, ready for battle.
They had received word of a potential calamity outbreak in the area, dispatched by Elder Yuanhan and others to investigate.
If they could suppress the calamity, all the better.
If not, their priority was to relay the information back to the alliance.
The task ahead of them was daunting, as the calamity energy was known for its overwhelming force.
In the past, they had relied on Earth Immortal protection to avoid such threats.
But now, with the calamity upon them, there was no escape.
The calamity was something they would have to face head-on.
“Wait!
Am I seeing things?
The calamity energy… it’s disappearing!” One of the Loose Cultivator Alliance elders, his voice filled with astonishment, cried out, his words immediately drawing the attention of the others.
Several of the other elders glared at him, skeptical of his claim.
How could the calamity energy, which was still so menacing, suddenly vanish?
Another elder furrowed his brow and spoke sternly, “Elder Chen, do not jest at a time like this!” “The calamity may be terrifying, but if we do not face it, what will become of our sect?
You can’t possibly be thinking of backing out now!” Elder Chen, realizing the gravity of the situation, stammered, “I swear it’s true!
I am not lying nor shirking my duty.
If you don’t believe me, check for yourselves!” The others, still uncertain, extended their spiritual senses to investigate.
Moments later, they gasped in disbelief.
Even the usually composed Red Blade Immortal was left speechless.
“Could it be that we received false information?
Or is there some unknown factor at play?” she wondered, her mind racing with unease.
Calamity energy was far too insidious to simply vanish.
Its sudden disappearance could signal something far more sinister lurking beneath the surface.
“Let’s return to the sect immediately and report this to Elder Yuanhan!” But before they could take action, a familiar voice echoed from the void, freezing them in their tracks.
“Elders, what brings you here with such urgency?” The voice sent shockwaves through the group, and they turned, their eyes wide with disbelief.
“Elder Jiang?!” Jiang Chengxuan descended from the sky, his Immortal form radiating power as he approached the group.
Instinctively, they all bowed and greeted him.
“Welcome back, Elder Jiang!
We are most fortunate to see you again!” they exclaimed, their voices trembling with awe.
Jiang Chengxuan smiled gently and motioned for them to rise.
“No need for formalities.
Tell me, what brings you here?” Red Blade Immortal stepped forward, explaining, “We received reports of a calamity outbreak…” But before she could finish, it dawned on her.
“Could it be… Elder Jiang has already dealt with it?” The realization struck the group like lightning, and they marveled at Jiang Chengxuan’s prowess.
Jiang Chengxuan chuckled softly and nodded, confirming their suspicions.
The elders breathed a collective sigh of relief, their respect for Jiang Chengxuan reaching new heights.
In such a short time, he had suppressed a calamity.
It was a testament to his unparalleled strength, and the group’s admiration for him deepened.
