Chapter 1961: minous Invasion, The Arrival of the Mysterious Guard — Part 2
Editor: Henyee Translations
Yet, with just ten thousand years of cultivation, she had broken through to the Golden Immortal realm!
Even among their era’s greatest, none could surpass Shen Ruyan.
Though it had taken some time, gradually, as the thunderlight engulfed thousands of miles and the Golden Immortal phenomenon stabilized completely,
a beam of immortal light shot up from the core of Haoran Sect, piercing the Nine Heavens!
An invisible pressure was fully unleashed, enveloping more than half of the Haoran Realm, forcing all things to submit!
At that moment, everyone saw a figure bathed in nine-colored divine thunder appear floating in the air.
She was shrouded beneath the immortal light, her true face hard for ordinary people to discern.
Behind her floated a miniature cosmos, where heavenly light and thunder raged, stars scattered, and the Milky Way flowed!
Countless immortals gazed up at her as if she were a goddess from beyond the heavens, bestowing sanctity upon the world.
Above the void, Shen Ruyan overlooked the entire Haoran Realm, her beautiful eyes containing myriad splendors.
Never before had the heavens seemed so small, the universe so close.
Even with her strong will, she felt her mind stir and joy bloom on her face.
At this moment, she only wished to find that person and share with him all the joy of breaking through to Golden Immortal!
“Hm?”
However, when Shen Ruyan’s vast Golden Immortal perception swept across the Haoran Realm,
she did not detect her husband’s aura as she expected.
Instead, she sensed another Golden Immortal’s power in a corner, along with a faintly distorted area.
Then, something completely unexpected happened.
From a certain place in the Haoran Realm’s sky, a powerful immortal energy suddenly burst forth, burning the horizon!
Simultaneously, a storm gathered, blotting out the sun, darkening the world.
Next, the sky was torn open by a huge rift, from which heavenly light spilled and melted space,
causing powerful waves of spatial turbulence to surge.
“What is that? Why is the sky suddenly dark… so strange.”
“Such intense spatial fluctuations! Maybe an enemy has invaded! Quickly alert the city lords!”
“Emergency alert! Emergency alert!”
This sudden crisis was obviously unrelated to Shen Ruyan’s breakthrough.
Immediately, many immortal cities across the Haoran Realm erupted in uproar.
Immortals were shocked, faces grave.
Fresh from breaking through to Golden Immortal, Shen Ruyan barely had a moment to rejoice before her brows furrowed tightly.
Her Golden Immortal power condensed but was held back as she stared toward the rift in the sky.
“Vzzz—vzzz—vzzz—”
The rift gradually morphed into an abyss, emitting strange humming sounds as the void trembled.
Several figures stepped out of it, treading the void with disdain for heaven and earth.
Behind each floated a Golden Immortal cosmos, their fierce auras throwing the world into chaos!
“Hiss—!”
“Three Golden Immortals?!”
All immortals within the Haoran Realm widened their eyes in shock, their hearts nearly breaking.
They had just been celebrating their sect gaining a new Golden Immortal.
In a blink, three uninvited Golden Immortal-level guests had arrived!
How could they not be stunned? It felt like a nightmare.
“We’ve found it! This is the place! Hahaha!”
“We can finally return and report to our ancestor!”
Ignoring the shock of millions of immortals, the three newly appeared Golden Immortals looked toward the heart of Haoran Sect,
laughing loudly like they had found a great treasure.
Their arrogant behavior confirmed everyone’s worst fears — these visitors bore ill intent.
“Who are you? Why have you trespassed into my Haoran Realm? Leave at once!”
Shen Ruyan again unleashed the Golden Immortal cosmos phenomenon, her pressure spreading to the horizon as she shouted angrily across the void.
At her words, the three were taken aback, noticing others present for the first time.
One paused, then scoffed disdainfully and said:
“Mentioning the name Mysterious Guard Sect is sure to send you fleeing in terror!”
“How dare you be so rude to me!”
Instead of retreating, the few became even more domineering, taking the offensive.
“Mysterious Guard Sect?! It’s them!”
“How is this possible… How could people from the Mysterious Guard Sect come here?!”
Some in the immortal cities exclaimed in fear, trembling as they recalled the dreadfulness of the Mysterious Guard Sect.
It was a colossal force from the Ancient Realm — even the Haoran Sect, at its peak, was but a rising power before it.
“Everyone, is there some misunderstanding? Why would your sect have any dealings with us?”
At that moment, Elder Yun Shi suddenly arrived, sensing something amiss.
He attempted to mediate and resolve the conflict peacefully:
“Hmph, you immortal sect people have ruined the plans of the Mysterious Guard Sect. Today, if you do not hand over the person,
this day will be your end!”
Yet the three Golden Immortals refused to yield, remaining extremely arrogant and even showing signs of killing intent.
One of them was notably one of the Mysterious Guard immortals who had pursued the Enigmatic Immortal that day!
Recently, the entire Mysterious Guard Sect had poured immense effort into searching for Jiang Chengxuan and the Enigmatic Immortal.
Just as Shen Ruyan emerged from seclusion, their violent power attracted them.
It turned out that the place the Mysterious Guard’s ancestor ordered them to find was right in the heart of the Haoran Sect.
Truly, they had found it effortlessly after a long search.
Upon hearing the reply from the Mysterious Guard immortal, Shen Ruyan and Elder Yun Shi immediately realized
these people were here because of Jiang Chengxuan.
Because only Jiang Chengxuan’s level could even reach the Mysterious Guard Sect from the entire Haoran Sect.
Shen Ruyan’s expression hardened.
Nine-colored lightning surged over her as she thundered:
“You trespass upon the territory of the Haoran Sect and still dare to speak arrogantly!”
In the next moment, Shen Ruyan unleashed a fierce and immense Golden Immortal power.
Behind her, the Golden Immortal cosmos phantom manifested,
and the sky-darkening nine-colored lightning flooded like a torrent, breaking through darkness and pressing down!
Because Jiang Chengxuan was involved, Shen Ruyan would not hesitate or retreat.
She was resolute, knowing the only choice was to strike first.
“Boom—boom—boom!”
Even the few from the Mysterious Guard Sect did not expect Shen Ruyan’s decisiveness.
The savage Golden Immortal lightning storm crashed down, engulfing their location.
The void ignited with roaring flames, destruction and chaos erupting!
“Activate the sect’s protective formation!”
At the same time, Shen Ruyan shouted, awakening many elders of the Haoran Sect.
Without hesitation, they hurriedly activated the arrangements left by Jiang Chengxuan.
Immortal light poured from them into the formation, revealing hidden patterns one by one,
constructing a massive, ancient totem that covered the core of the Haoran Sect.
“Seeking death!”
Only then did the somewhat embarrassed Mysterious Guard Golden Immortal roar in anger,
breaking through the chaos and lightning with overwhelming momentum, their immortal power surging.
The great battle was about to erupt.
The three Mysterious Guard Golden Immortals simultaneously unleashed their divine powers,
manifesting Golden Immortal cosmos phenomena, condensing countless totem-like laws.
Immortal treasures radiating immortal light appeared in their hands,
gathering Golden Immortal power and transforming into terrifying might that shattered the void!
“Boom—boom—boom!”
The terrifying power struck the sect’s protective formation with thunderous roars, stirring a storm.
The entire Haoran Sect trembled violently!
“Sigh—”
Seeing this, Elder Yun Shi had no choice but to intervene, manifesting his own Golden Immortal cosmos,
forming a protective barrier to reinforce the sect’s formation and resist the assault.
After all, the opponents numbered three Golden Immortals, one in the late stage!
With the Haoran Sect’s current strength and without Jiang Chengxuan, they could not withstand this!
Given his friendship with Jiang Chengxuan and the complicated relationship between the Haoran Sect and Yunlan Immortal Clan,
he could not simply give up or change course.
Therefore, even if war broke out with the Mysterious Guard Sect, he would at least help Jiang Chengxuan protect Shen Ruyan,
ensuring no accidents happened to her — that was his bottom line.
