Chapter 1817: Displaying His Strength, Shocking the Battlefield (Part 2)
In an instant, countless golden runes ignited like stars, spreading across the heavens, forming a dazzling celestial canopy of radiant light.
Beneath this sacred starlight, the power of divine restriction surged to an entirely new level. Unseen chains seemed to wrap around the bodies of the three opponents—Myriad Ghost Demon Lord, Riftblade Venerable, and Phantom Venerable—locking their movements in place.
This was no ordinary power. It was the Ten Thousand Saints Manifestation Scripture—now fully completed by the system—elevated to the level of a Golden Immortal technique. Its might rivaled that of a true Golden Immortal artifact.
Under its pressure, the three Venerables felt as though they were no longer facing a junior cultivator, but a mighty Golden Immortal in disguise.
“This is impossible! How can that technique possess such might?!”
The first to fall under Jiang Chengxuan's counterattack was Phantom Venerable, who hovered directly beneath him. With a golden starsea burning at his back and golden flames flickering in his eyes, Jiang Chengxuan descended like a solar deity crashing from the heavens.
Phantom Venerable trembled with fear. He had seen this technique before—but at the time, it was only strong enough to help Jiang Chengxuan detect opponents' positions. Now, it felt inescapable.
Even when he invoked his signature ghostly movement art and tried to merge with the Netherworld, he found himself sluggish, as if caught in a swamp. There was no longer any freedom to vanish and reappear at will. Panic rose in his heart.
From above, Jiang Chengxuan was closing in—like an unstoppable falling sun. Phantom Venerable's hands trembled as he gritted his teeth and roared in defiance.
“I refuse to submit!”
Despite his fear, his years of battle-hardened experience took over. He pushed his panic aside and forcibly drew on his realm's power. He dove deeper into the Netherworld, gaining distance, then poured all his immortal essence into his Claw of Death, unleashing its ultimate form.
Once again, the massive claw manifested—wreathed in death energy, it tore through the void and lunged toward the descending Jiang Chengxuan.
Boom!
The collision of forces echoed like divine thunder. But under the might of the Ten Thousand Saints Manifestation Scripture, the death energy was quickly suppressed, swallowed whole, and dissolved without even a ripple.
“Damn it! Help me!”
Seeing his strongest counterattack wiped out with ease, Phantom Venerable finally panicked. He shouted in desperation.
Riftblade Venerable and Myriad Ghost Demon Lord frowned but moved in tandem. Though they had no desire to risk themselves, Phantom Venerable was still their battle partner—if he were defeated, the tide would turn completely. No matter what, they couldn't afford to lose this battle.
If they were defeated in front of everyone—even with three against one—they would become laughingstocks across the ancient realm.
“Perfect timing!”
Seeing them rush in, Jiang Chengxuan didn't retreat. Instead, he roared with battle spirit, eyes sharp with fighting intent.
He spun midair, and with both hands, he struck out simultaneously toward the two incoming foes.
Boom! Boom!
The golden sea of divine runes surged with his will, and two torrents of sacred power blasted out in both directions.
With thunderous roars, divine force transformed into twin bolts of holy lightning, striking at Riftblade Venerable and Myriad Ghost Demon Lord.
Suddenly, the overwhelming pressure that had paralyzed Phantom Venerable now bore down on the two of them, freezing their hearts and forcing them to brace for impact.
BOOOOM!
The clash of three immense forces erupted in midair, chaos surging as lightning and shockwaves tore through the void.
But despite facing two opponents of equal realm, Jiang Chengxuan was not at a disadvantage—in fact, he was steadily gaining the upper hand!
The crowd gasped in disbelief. For the first time, the many immortals of various sects realized why Jiang Chengxuan had dared challenge three Venerables alone—because he could. He truly had the strength to fight them head-on.
This was a direct clash of raw power. They couldn't understand—how could a fellow Peak Profound Immortal possess power that seemed double theirs?
In truth, it was thanks to two treasures Jiang Chengxuan possessed: the Nine-Second Bodhi Lotus Lantern, and the Primal Rune.
The former granted him an extraordinary recovery rate and continuously refined his immortal essence, making it pure and dense.
The latter, even more profound, subtly altered his cultivation realm, enhancing the very fabric of his inner world and making it feel almost real.
One raised his ceiling. The other raised his stats. Together, they gave Jiang Chengxuan a reservoir of power far beyond his peers.
“…So that's the reason,” murmured Sword Venerable with a solemn look, as Jiang Chengxuan began his all-out counteroffensive.
Unleashing his full strength, Jiang Chengxuan summoned his Primeval Chaos Sword, cloaked in the might of the Ten Thousand Saints Manifestation Scripture, and charged once more.
Against the combined formation of the three Venerables, he advanced instead of retreating. His movements were graceful yet deadly—like a soaring swan, like a dancing dragon. Every strike of his sword carried the overwhelming weight of scripture-fueled power, touching the threshold of Golden Immortal might.
Even a casual swing was too much for a single Venerable to block. They had to join forces just to hold him off!
This one fact made every observing immortal draw in a sharp breath—shocked to their core.
“His power… it's become even stronger…”
Even the formidable Bloodfiend Demon Immortal, watching from the sidelines, couldn't remain composed. He had always known Jiang Chengxuan was no ordinary cultivator, but now he realized he had still underestimated him.
After their previous battle, Jiang Chengxuan's strength had grown again—and in such a short time.
“This boy must not be allowed to live,” the Bloodfiend thought, his gaze sharpening.
The more he understood Jiang Chengxuan, the more he feared him. Even as a Golden Immortal himself, he didn't dare feel completely safe.
And he wasn't alone in this realization. Every Golden Immortal present sensed it too—this young man possessed terrifying potential.
The Sword Elder's eyes lit up, somewhere between admiration and awe.
The Ghostwalker Venerable narrowed his gaze, mind turning with countless calculations.
As for Old Man Yunshi, he could no longer contain his joy. His smile broadened as he watched Jiang Chengxuan suppress the enemy Venerables, nodding repeatedly in approval.
In this moment, the entire battle shifted. The atmosphere turned strange—inside and outside the battlefield—every onlooker caught in speculation, shaken by the mystery that was Jiang Chengxuan.
