Chapter 1913: Slaying the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal — Part 2

Editor: Henyee Translations

Countless rays of the Eternal Manifestation Sutra scriptures burst forth like a giant net, tightly enveloping the dark cosmos. That sacred and domineering power struck the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal like a heavy blow, causing his whole body to tremble violently. Suddenly, countless wounds erupted across him, with scorching holy light piercing through his body, blazing fiercely.

At the same time, the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal began to burn intensely. He was nailed to the void by Jiang Chengxuan’s Eternal Manifestation Sutra, struggling and twisting helplessly. The sacred golden flames burned both his soul and body, inflicting excruciating pain as if being slowly dismembered. This scene stirred both excitement and dread among countless immortals.

One must understand—the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal was a formidable Golden Immortal, once renowned throughout the ancient realms. For such a being to be tortured like this, stripped of all dignity, how cruel! In fact, if Jiang Chengxuan had only fought to defeat him, he wouldn’t have resorted to such torment.

However, the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal had taken advantage of Jiang Chengxuan’s seclusion to sneak in and attempt to destroy the entire Haoran Realm, massacring countless lives, even planning to kill Shen Ruyan right before Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes. Such acts had crossed Jiang Chengxuan’s bottom line, truly igniting his rage.

“Arrgh—!” “Rumble—!” For a moment, heaven and earth fell into deathly silence, only the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal’s screams and the rumbling of his suppressed Golden Immortal cosmos persisted relentlessly. Everyone forgot time itself, their eyes locked on the dazzling firmament in stunned silence.

Who had ever witnessed such a scene? A Golden Immortal tortured to death like this! Gradually, the attention spread beyond the ruined immortal city, with countless immortals directing their gaze here to witness this terrifying, shocking spectacle firsthand. This event shook the entire Haoran Realm to its core, causing innumerable immortals’ hearts to shatter in disbelief.

No one knew how much time had passed. The void gradually fell silent. The all-covering chaotic darkness became a pitch-black deep pool. The Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal was long silent, but the blazing golden flames continued to burn as if never to extinguish.

Brilliance once again illuminated this land, with starry radiance supreme and sacred, suffocating in its majesty. Jiang Chengxuan stood aloof, bearing the entire cosmos on his shoulders, truly embodying what it means to be above a Golden Immortal. The Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal was dead, utterly dead.

Already severely wounded, he had forced his strength once again. His life-saving measures had been exhausted the last time. Greedily attempting to kill Shen Ruyan before leaving had angered Jiang Chengxuan—this was his sin and cause of death.

Jiang Chengxuan showed no emotion. At some unknown time, the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal had ceased to be regarded as a rival. With a gesture, he gathered the Golden Immortal cosmos that had belonged to the demon. It shrank continuously until it became a fragment of the cosmos, which Jiang Chengxuan pocketed.

Under the Eternal Manifestation Sutra’s sealing power, it would be continuously refined until rendered ownerless. At the same time, Jiang Chengxuan retracted his own Golden Immortal cosmos, restoring peace to heaven and earth. The burning golden flames extinguished, reducing the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal to dust and ashes.

A sovereign of territories, a ruler of the ancient demonic sect, a Golden Immortal cultivator—thus disappeared from the world. Many immortals present sighed at the impermanence of life and death—it all came down to a single thought.

Not long ago, the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal could have wiped out millions with a wave of his hand. But now, Jiang Chengxuan’s wave of his hand erased the demon. “The Patriarch’s heavenly might! Invincible in the world!” “The Patriarch’s heavenly might! Invincible in the world!” “The Patriarch’s heavenly might! Invincible in the world!”

Moments later, seeing Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan stand close together, those in the ruined immortal city and countless cultivators watching from afar all suddenly snapped back to reality, shouting loudly, unable to restrain their reverence and admiration.

“All right, I have reapplied the sealing formation. This time was truly perilous.” “Madam, you absolutely must not risk yourself like that again.”

Deep within Haoran Realm’s sect, inside their cave dwelling, after dealing with the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan comforted the people of the immortal city, then returned here to recuperate.

Jiang Chengxuan re-engraved the Eternal Manifestation Sutra scriptures onto the Nine Thunder Execution Sword, making some adjustments, then sternly admonished Shen Ruyan, his eyes showing reproach.

“Hmm.”

Hearing this, Shen Ruyan seemed to realize that her recklessness was unwise, responding obediently, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor before all the immortals. Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan softened and did not press further.

He understood what she was thinking, why she acted so. With Haoran Realm as their foundation, they finally had a foothold in the ancient realm.

Just then, Jiang Chengxuan continually sensed that subtle force. When he first broke seclusion, busy suppressing the demon, he had not noticed carefully. Now, with calm returned, he felt the aura continuously seeping from the unknown.

“Madam, do you sense it? That power?”

Jiang Chengxuan changed the subject and asked Shen Ruyan. If he guessed right, she should have a similar perception.

“You mean the power of merit and faith?”

Indeed, as Jiang Chengxuan expected, upon hearing his question, Shen Ruyan immediately understood what he referred to.

“Yes. I did not expect that after destroying the Arrogant Blood Sect, there would be such an unexpected boon.”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled, shaking his head with satisfaction.

After toppling the Arrogant Blood Sect and stabilizing the entire Arrogant Blood Demon Realm, this power of merit and faith had been quietly brewing in the shadows.

The power of merit and faith is a mysterious existence. In ancient times, it was a profound cultivation method leading to immortality.

But as more people ascended to immortality, relying on merit and faith alone became increasingly difficult.

After all, only so many beings can generate sincere belief and merit. Only those with true, heartfelt faith can generate this power.

Thus, this ancient immortal path gradually fell into legend.

Unexpectedly, overthrowing the Arrogant Demon Realm and establishing Haoran Realm gave Jiang Chengxuan a new path.

Because the demon sect ruled the White Eagle territory for many years, committing countless atrocities for centuries, under their reign, billions suffered and died—it was no exaggeration.

Thus, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, as the founders of Haoran Realm who overthrew the demon sect and saved billions, naturally earned their heartfelt faith.

This was not done intentionally but simply from their earnest desire to restore order, nurture life, and build a foundation, unintentionally benefiting countless beings.

Such honor, even Yunlan Sect and Yun Shi Elder lacked.

Even though Yunlan Sect ruled Liuyun Territory for long, earning true faith from all beings was not possible by authority alone, but required fate and chance.

“With this power of merit and faith, the late Golden Immortal stage is just around the corner,” Jiang Chengxuan murmured thoughtfully.

Countless beings lived in the Haoran Realm.

This terrifying power of merit and faith exceeded his imagination.

Especially after slaying the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal, news spread throughout the realm, shaking countless forces and kingdoms.

As the source of all evil in the White Eagle Territory, the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal’s fall naturally brought tremendous shock—immortals and mortals alike were amazed and sincerely convinced.
