Chapter 987: The Seed of the Creation Dao, Grievously Wounding the Giants
Editor: Henyee Translations
The Golden Void Sword seemed to pierce through the cosmos itself, its sharpness unyielding as it charged into the massive tornado. Within that swirling vortex, countless wind blades slashed at the sword, making its advance incredibly challenging.
However, Jiang Chengxuan was not content with this deadlock, as he was aware that he wasn’t just battling the Wind Elemental Giant. The Fire and Thunder Elemental Giants he had previously repelled were gathering their strength again, poised to rejoin the fray.
Sparked by a flash of insight within his consciousness, Jiang Chengxuan launched an invisible piercing strike that followed the trajectory of the Golden Void Sword, plunging deep into the heart of the great tornado.
ROAR!
The primordial spirit of the Wind Elemental Giant was struck by this piercing attack, eliciting an enraged howl from the beast. The concentrated storm forces around it momentarily slackened, providing Jiang Chengxuan with a crucial opening. Seizing this chance, the Golden Void Sword broke through the layers of wind resistance and struck the shoulder of the Wind Elemental Giant.
Rumble!
The sword shattered the giant’s body, causing a massive tempest to erupt. Countless gusts of wind burst from the gruesome wound, forcefully pushing the Golden Void Sword back. Yet, the injury did not heal, and the Wind Elemental Giant, clutching its shoulder, swiftly retreated.
To the astonishment of all, the first to be wounded in the onslaught of the four Elemental Giants was one of their own!
Under the assault of four Dao Mastery powers, Jiang Chengxuan had managed to inflict the first damage, showcasing his formidable battle prowess.
However, instead of pursuing the injured Wind Elemental Giant, Jiang Chengxuan refrained from chasing as the Fire and Thunder Elemental Giants were once again advancing towards him.
With a flick of his fingers, he recalled the Golden Void Sword to his side, preparing a defensive perimeter around himself. This instantly broke the Water Elemental Giant’s binding attack.
He then saw the Fire Elemental Giant transform its arms into two enormous spears of flame, piercing through the void, targeting Jiang Chengxuan’s head with devastating power.
The attack was like twin meteors striking from the heavens, the aura of destruction overwhelming.
But at the critical moment, Jiang Chengxuan caught the fiery spears with a grasp of his hand, deploying the Samsara Palm once again to block the attack, holding the flaming spears within his grasp.
Simultaneously, the Thunder Elemental Giant launched its attack from behind him. Nine enormous thunder orbs appeared, rotating slowly around the giant. Driven by the rule of Thunder, each orb transformed into a different mythical beast, roaring as they charged towards Jiang Chengxuan.
These beasts, resembling dragons, tigers, snakes, eagles, wolves, and leopards, were wreathed in devastating thunderbolts. The thunder, so dense it was nearly black, was terrifying to behold.
Facing the assault of nine thunderous beasts, Jiang Chengxuan could only wield the Golden Void Sword, slashing repeatedly through the void to fend them off.
At that moment, a surge of water roared up. The Water Elemental Giant had gathered a massive dragon of water rule, which obscured the sky and rushed toward Jiang Chengxuan with crushing force.
The situation was once again dire as the three Dao Mastery Elemental Giants attacked simultaneously, unleashing power that was simply too terrifying to withstand. Moreover, as beings of pure elements, they had a deeper understanding and mastery of their respective rule, basing their attacks on an endless well of Dharmic power.
This was destined to be a grueling battle.
As the combined attacks of the three Elemental Giants neared, Jiang Chengxuan made a shocking decision in the split second before impact. He withdrew the Golden Void Sword, the Samsara Hand, and the Five Elements Samsara World, as if resigning to his fate and waiting for death.
The gigantic fiery spear, the ferocious thunder beasts, and the roaring water dragon arrived in an instant. Regardless of Jiang Chengxuan’s surrender, a merciless onslaught awaited him. They were the will of the immortal cave abode.
Rumble!
The terrifying elemental rule exploded in that moment, and the triple force of the Dao Mastery attacks was about to strike Jiang Chengxuan.
In the critical moment as the Elemental Giants closed in, Jiang Chengxuan finally acted decisively.
Within a breath, a profound and mysterious power burst forth from within Jiang Chengxuan’s mind—a brilliant light akin to the dawn of creation itself, emanating from the seed of the Creation Dao.
Under the influence of this power, all the rules within Jiang Chengxuan reached their zenith. The Five Elements and the Samsara Dao enveloped the entire world in an instant.
The Samsara Dao operated at its ultimate limit, with the Five Elements Dao continuously supporting it. The mighty, ancient, and dominant will of the Samsara manifested in Jiang Chengxuan’s hands. The entire cosmos seemed to reverse and overturn in that moment, affecting both space and time.
The destructive attacks from the three Elemental Giants were thrown into chaos under the overwhelming power of the Samsara Dao. Despite their substantial elemental intelligence, the giants were momentarily at a loss on how to contend with such complex circumstances. After all, though they possessed significant wisdom, they were still bound constructs of the immortal cave abode, lacking true experience and adaptability.
Faced with this upheaval, the giants acted erratically, their formidable powers clashing uncontrollably.
The fiery spear, driven by the Dao of celestial fire, lost control and veered towards the Water Elemental Giant’s summoned water dragon. At the same time, the water dragon, infused with the potent water rule, surged with terrifying force toward the Fire Elemental Giant.
The nine thunderous beasts, embodying destructive thunder, plunged into disarray and attacked the Water Elemental Giant. Thunder exploded, lighting up the sky with blinding electricity and flames.
In an instant, all three Elemental Giants were hit by each other’s attacks, suffering significant damage. The pure elemental forces, naturally repelling each other, exacerbated the devastation to the elemental constructs.
All of this unfolded precisely as Jiang Chengxuan had calculated. In a moment of extreme peril, his only option was to make a bold move, and fortunately, it paid off.
The Fire Elemental Giant was struck by the water dragon, its body pierced through, leaving a gaping hole. The Water Elemental Giant was similarly devastated by the ferocious thunder rule; the intense heat and electricity set off a horrific explosion, shattering its rune-encrusted armor.
Both giants fell in the fierce blast, causing the ancient stone platform to tremble with the impact.
Wild elemental forces unleashed a storm of elements around the platform, with lightning flashing and celestial fire rolling.
