Chapter 994: The Rift of Nothingness, The ninth-level Dragon Beast Strikes
Editor: Henyee Translations

With the Deep Earth Halberd now ascended to an Arcane Treasure, its strike was incredibly heavy. It cleaved through the chaotic fog, splitting open a deep abyss and stirring the entire massive chaotic micro-world with its force.

In that instant, a trench severing the sea of fog appeared in the void, where millions of stars fell, crushing the ninth-level beast beneath them.

The collision of two supreme forces of Dao rule sent up dazzling lights that illuminated the entire universe. Under the enhancement of the Arcane Treasure and the Yin-Yang Divine Water, Jiang Chengxuan’s Dao, although not surpassing that of the ninth-level beasts, matched them blow for blow.

Despite the beast being in a grievously wounded state, achieving this was still unimaginable. It is well-known that a Daolord stands far above that of the Dao Mastery.

In the Floodgate Realm, although there are many who hold the title of Dao Mastery saint, very few break through to Mahayana, which underscores the value of Mahayana’s capabilities.

Those who attain Dao Mastery are invariably the result of immense resources and talent, yet even these factors don’t guarantee a breakthrough to Mahayana. The element of chance, which is elusive and sought after, is also necessary.

A Dao Mastery saint, if not chosen by heavenly, has nearly no chance to break through to Mahayana. Doing so would be akin to defying the heavens. The power difference between a Daolord and one of Dao Mastery is clearly enormous.

Yet now, Jiang Chengxuan, still only a Dao Mastery saint, was forcefully suppressing a ninth-level beast with the strength of a Daolord. Had there been other cultivators present, they would have been astounded.

ROAR!

After the terrifying fluctuation, the heavily wounded ninth-level beast, though further injured, was not yet defeated. It roared, and the force of its Mahayana Dao rule manifested again, shattering the void.

At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan felt extreme high-frequency vibrations around him.

The next moment, a terrifying void of nothingness spread from the center of the ninth-level beast towards him, like a seismic rift in the void, arriving in an instant.

This ninth-level beast was utterly enraged, and this strike was far more terrifying than any aftershock Jiang had previously felt.

This massive rift of nothingness was the pinnacle of the beast’s void Dao rule, a gateway to a realm of nothingness. If banished there, one would never return to their original world.

Life cannot sustain itself in nothingness, making this move a lethal attack that kills upon contact.

The appearance of this void rift made even the observing ninth-level dragon beast step back cautiously. It still wasn’t planning to leave, not wanting to give up on the ninth-level supreme spiritual fruit.

It had discerned Jiang Chengxuan’s realm to be lower than its own, which incited its greed. Had a Daolord appeared to intercept, it would have fled, no matter how reluctantly.

Boom, boom, boom!

Facing the dread-inducing void rift, Jiang Chengxuan truly felt the terror of a Daolord’s might for the first time.

Yet, his spirit did not falter; instead, his will to fight and passion for battle soared.

He manifested the Five Elements Samsara World, gathering the five-colored supreme light in his hand, then releasing it as a five-colored radiant torrent that surged towards the void rift.

However, this time, his typically infallible five-colored annihilation light had no effect within the void rift; it was swallowed by the void world, cutting off any connection with Jiang, rendering it ineffective.

Jiang frowned at this outcome. The next moment, the void rift reached him, forcing him to transform into a five-colored escape light, hastily moving away.

Yet the void rift pursued relentlessly, as if sentient, continuing its chase.

This strike was indeed sinister, leaving Jiang momentarily without recourse. His Dao rule was insufficient to affect this void rift, and using the Arcane Treasure might mean not returning if he entered the rift.

He had no choice but to navigate through the void, using the Golden Void Sword to clear a path and continuously dodge.

As the void rift expanded, the space became riddled with holes, leaving him nearly no room to retreat.

Just then, an unforeseen and dramatic shift occurred.

On Jiang’s escape path, an immensely terrifying force erupted, radiating blinding supreme light like a descending sun.

This attack, also containing the peak power of a Daolord’s Dao rule, undoubtedly came from the ninth-level dragon beast.

Jiang was shaken. Did these two ninth-level beasts have some sort of relationship?

But the reality was different.

Indeed, the ninth-level dragon beast had launched an attack against Jiang Chengxuan, and its attack was coordinated with the void rift, effectively cornering Jiang into a deadly trap, as if the two creatures had conspired together.

However, it wasn’t acting to assist its fellow beast. This attack was not only directed at Jiang Chengxuan but also targeted the other ninth-level beast!

In this critical moment, the dragon beast unleashed its most potent strike, aiming to eliminate both Jiang Chengxuan and the other ninth-level beast in one fell swoop, thus securing a decisive victory.

This move was ruthlessly strategic and decisive.

Jiang had anticipated that the dragon beast might either join the fray directly or flee the scene. He hadn’t expected it to feign neutrality initially, only to launch a surprise attack aiming to achieve complete victory in one stroke.

Even the other ninth-level beast had not foreseen this attack.

Realizing it had no chance to contend for the opportunity after being injured by Jiang, it unleashed all its power in a spiteful strike, intent only on killing Jiang Chengxuan to avenge its humiliation, before planning to leave the battlefield and forfeit the supreme spiritual fruit.

However, the dragon beast seemed to have anticipated this desperation, and instead of merely competing for the supreme fruit, it aimed to seize the fortunes of both Jiang and the other beast.

Amidst the intensifying fluctuations, a terrifying blend of light and heat coalesced in the void. Right in front of the other ninth-level beast, an equally formidable sun burst forth with explosive force.

Rumble!

With a booming sound, the void suddenly displayed two artificial suns, their presence shockingly formidable.
