Chapter 870: Battling Saint Dawnbreaker and Saint Cloudsea
Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes narrowed.
As the couple approached, it became clear that the sense of being watched they had felt on their way here was indeed due to the scrutiny of Saint Dawnbreaker and Saint Cloudsea.
In an instant, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes could not help but carry a trace of seriousness.
These opponents were not only stronger and more robust than Saint Skywhite but also uninjured and at their peak.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the snow mountain under Saint Dawnbreaker and Saint Cloudsea erupted into a massive avalanche as the two formidable figures approached rapidly, positioning themselves directly in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“Are you Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the culprits behind the death of our junior brother Skywhite?”
Saint Dawnbreaker asked slowly.
Jiang Chengxuan did not deny it.
With the confrontation inevitable, admitting or denying their actions held little significance.
Saint Cloudsea then spoke,
“In that case, there’s nothing more to say.
Killing a Supreme Elder of our Qiankun Hall demands retribution, regardless of who you are or what your status is.”
With those words, a tiny sword shot out from Saint Cloudsea’s brow.
Despite its unassuming appearance, it caught Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s attention, prompting them to be on high alert.
Jiang Chengxuan immediately summoned his Five Elements Diagram, transforming it into a protective barrier around them.
Buzz!
“A heaven-connecting spiritual treasure!” both Saint Dawnbreaker and Saint Cloudsea exclaimed, surprised to find such a treasure in the possession of a Void Returning cultivator.
It had to be known that many Dao Integration first-stage cultivators didn’t even possess such treasures, a fact that applied to both the late Saint Skywhite and themselves.
BOOM!
The collision between the tiny sword and the barrier created by the Five Elements Diagram unleashed a terrifying explosion, sending visible ripples in all directions.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were forced to step back under the impact.
Facing two fully-powered Dao Integration Saints, even with their strength in the same league, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan understood that overpowering their opponents would be a difficult task, given they had not yet reached the Dao Integration Realm themselves.
Buzz!
At that moment, stars began to shimmer in the sky above, with a star as colossal as a sun rising behind Saint Dawnbreaker.
Its terrifying pressure caused the void around it to creak ominously.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, the twinkling stars transformed into falling meteors aimed directly at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately stopped hesitating.
Jiang Chengxuan reached out and grabbed it.
The sky seemed to reflect cycles of reincarnation as Jiang Chengxuan, with a sweeping motion of his hand, unleashed his rule-based divine power, the Hand of Reincarnation, to grasp at the descending stars.
Simultaneously, Shen Ruyan’s brow revealed the imprint of thunder, and she transformed into her Thunder Spirit true body.
Behind her, spears of lightning, like javelins, continuously shot towards the sky.
Boom, boom, boom!
A series of explosions erupted in the sky.
For a moment, neither side seemed to gain a significant advantage, surprising both Saint Dawnbreaker and Saint Cloudsea.
Indeed, the rumors of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan possessing the potential to contend with Saints seemed to hold true.
Initially, they had thought such claims were exaggerated.
Even after the fall of Saint Skywhite, they mostly believed it was due to external forces, not the couple’s own strength.
Now, it was evident that the rumors had perhaps even underestimated them.
With such prowess and talent, allowing them to continue growing would mean endless trouble for the Qiankun Hall.
Resolving to eliminate them before they could break through to the Dao Integration realm, Saint Dawnbreaker and Saint Cloudsea hesitated no longer.
Saint Dawnbreaker transformed into an expanse of starry sea, within which countless stars glimmered menacingly.
This terrifying aura enveloped Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, locking onto them firmly.
At the same time.
Saint Cloudsea produced a disc in his hands, the Destiny Disc of Heavenly Secrets, adorned with strange runes and resembling the gears of fate in slow rotation.
This treasure, capable of divining and exploiting fate for lethal strikes, was now aimed at altering the destiny of Jiang and Shen, intending to erase them from existence.
Buzz!
In that instant, an intangible yet substantial wave swept through.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately felt as though some force was tugging at their threads of fate.
This made Jiang Chengxuan snort coldly.
“Wishing to annihilate me by manipulating fate? Utter folly!
Today, I will show you the true path of destiny!”
With these words, Jiang Chengxuan began to activate the Heavenly Calculation Technique.
Behind him, a vast expanse of shadowy figures emerged, representing the countless possibilities of the future, weaving together numerous paths of fate like a spiderweb or steel cables.
They ensnared and violently twisted the gears of fate that Saint Cloudsea had attempted to manipulate.
The sound of metal grinding against metal echoed in everyone’s ears as Saint Cloudsea’s complexion turned deathly pale.
His Destiny Disc of Heavenly Secrets, now marred with cracks, caused him to wobble unsteadily.
“How… how is this possible?
How could you possibly break free from the constraints of fate?”
Saint Cloudsea was utterly shocked.
The Destiny Disc of Heavenly Secrets in his hands was no ordinary treasure but a profound artifact linked to the mysteries of fate and destiny, a unique object beyond common classifications with special powers not found in ordinary treasures.
Yet, despite his full exertion to wield this artifact, not only did it fail to threaten Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, but it was also countered and… Crack!
As these thoughts raced through Saint Cloudsea’s mind, a loud shattering noise suddenly rang in his ears..
