Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Just Died Like That?
When Jiang Cheng and Zhongtai True Immortal engaged, the vast waves of battle and the tremors of the Holy Sanctuary’s rules spread far and wide.
The Golden Dragon King, Gui Cang Sword Saint, and others hurried out.
"What’s happening?"
The distance was too great; it was naturally impossible to see the specifics.
Yet the terrifying aura faintly emanating from there made everyone instinctively feel an extreme sense of danger deep within.
"Over there... Seems to be Zhongtai True Immortal’s territory, right?"
"Is someone fighting them?"
"What about us?"
Such a terrifying momentum, able to be sensed from such a great distance, made many Saint Tier members and those Ascending to Saint want to retreat involuntarily.
Even the Demon Kings of the Celestial Demon Domain quietly restrained their ferocity.
"Could it be other immortals fighting Zhongtai?"
"It must be!"
Who else could fight Zhongtai on such terms but immortals?
"Are we still attacking?"
"Whatever may come, let’s go and see; perhaps we can seize an advantage while they’re both weakened!"
With a command from the Golden Dragon King, the group then set out.
But just as they flew out, Gui Cang Sword Saint suddenly remembered that Jiang Cheng was missing.
"Where did Sect Leader Jiang go?"
This was a significant combat power he valued; if absent, it would have some impact on the upcoming attack plan.
Everyone looked around.
"The Three-Eyed Tiger is missing too."
"Could they have fled back?"
"I knew this person was unreliable; initially, he claimed true immortals weren’t worth mentioning, which was truly laughable!"
"This kind of person, who loves to boast, is the most unreliable at critical moments..."
Just as they discussed while flying forward, the battle between Jiang Cheng and Zhongtai True Immortal had reached a feverish level.
In the void, a faint image of a gigantic millstone appeared.
It covered the sky, concealing all brightness beneath it.
Countless main rules swirled and danced, continually launching assaults towards a central light cluster.
That light cluster was Zhongtai’s Daoist Heart!
The Daoist Heart is formed and refined from the Holy Sanctuary, naturally possessing greater power.
When Zhongtai True Immortal first invoked the Daoist Heart, everything was under his control.
Compared to the Holy Sanctuary, the Daoist Heart was much more flexible.
Moreover, the Daoist Heart could directly devour the main rules within the Holy Sanctuary, dismantling its foundation.
Under this natural suppression, other Saint Tier experts could only be passively battered when encountering him.
Only Gui Cang and the Golden Dragon King, a few whose Holy Sanctuaries were exceptionally stable, had some main rules cultivated to the Small Success realm, could slightly resist.
Yet before Jiang Cheng, this Daoist Heart couldn’t maintain even a second of advantage.
Just at the start, it was completely surrounded by 992 main rules, unable to move flexibly.
Instantly, it was enveloped in a sea of rules.
There was no need for it to devour; the 992 rules continuously launched active assaults on that Daoist Heart.
Brother Cheng’s rules were mostly at the Chaos Level, unable to conduct any intricate controls, thus choosing a simple and brutal collision.
The enormous millstone kept spinning and crushing, and under the continuous bombardment of vast rules, Zhongtai True Immortal’s Daoist Heart wavered and tottered.
Once akin to a blazing sun, it now resembled a setting sun.
Meanwhile, the two had long been engaged in countless clashes on the Divine Soul.
The Immortal Soul had been condensed into substance, yet it could not penetrate Brother Cheng’s Holy Soul, as the quality of the Holy Soul forged by a hundred thousand Ghosts was far superior.
At the peak of the Saint Tier, confronting a True Immortal posed no issue.
If his control of the Holy Soul was as refined as a True Immortal, he could perhaps crush that True Immortal Level Divine Soul.
As the Daoist Heart was about to crumble, Zhongtai True Immortal was terrified.
He could not fathom...
How could such a heaven-defying Saint Tier appear in the Lower Realm?
Is this even Saint Tier?
True Immortals being trampled; is this not Celestial Immortal level combat strength?
Simply not something he could resist.
Finally, he opted for close combat with the Immortal Body!
Then, he encountered Brother Cheng’s Immortal Demon Body.
The moment their close combat contact occurred, Zhongtai True Immortal was instantly struck down from the high sky.
Boom!
The ground split with countless crevices, and within those depths, Zhongtai True Immortal’s Immortal Body was breaking apart...
He dared not continue fighting.
Bear in mind, he had just used an Immortal Sword!
After millions of years sealed, the Lower Realm unexpectedly birthed such a prodigy!
Too terrifying!
Immortals themselves, facing Lower Realm’s Saint Tier, chose to flee.
Yet at this moment, his sealed Daoist Heart finally shattered entirely under the continuous pounding of 992 rules!
Splat!
Zhongtai True Immortal spat out a mouthful of blood tinged with gold, his state weakening once more.
How could Brother Cheng miss such an opportunity.
The Holy Sword swept swiftly, and Zhongtai True Immortal’s head soared high.
The Holy Soul and Domain furiously assaulted, obliterating body and soul!
A true immortal thus fell!
At this time, Qingsuo had just arrived at the devastated battleground.
Looking at Jiang Cheng, descending slowly from the high sky, then at Three-Eyed Tiger and Mo Chen Profound Turtle King busying themselves with collecting spoils, she fell into total shock.
Was that immortal dead?
Dealt with effortlessly by Jiang Cheng single-handedly?
And... so quickly?
When Gui Cang Sword Saint and Golden Dragon King arrived with their main force, all spoils of war were already cleaned up.
Especially the Three-Eyed Tiger, having done such work for Brother Cheng more than once, was a practiced hand.
They didn’t let off even the storage rings, or the intact Holy Armor and Immortal Swords, all stripped off.
"This..."
"What happened?"
"Seems like the enemies were all slain?"
"Zhongtai True Immortal!"
"His head is here..."
Everyone gasped, completely unable to believe their eyes.
Zhongtai True Immortal was killed?
Their fear, the formidable foe they struggled to be confident against even when sieging together, simply gone?
"Who could accomplish this?"
This question was almost redundant.
Didn’t they notice the few survivors on site?
"Sect Leader Jiang!"
Gui Cang Sword Saint’s white beard trembled, pointing at the ruins, his hand quivered.
"Did you do all this?"
Brother Cheng spread his hands, wearing an easy-going smile: "Yeah, didn’t I already say I would attack these enemies?"
No one knew what to say.
You did say, but who knew you’d be this fierce.
Single-handedly, you smashed everyone.
Golden Dragon King also got lost in amazement.
Looking at the Three-Eyed Tiger tagging along behind Jiang Cheng, he suddenly understood why it would follow this person.
"Zhongtai True Immortal, you killed too?"
"What else could it be?"
"I saw you all describing him as unmatched, so I decided to meet him first."
Sect Leader Jiang shrugged: "This guy finally showed some power, made me exert a bit more effort."
Only a bit more effort?
Everyone was speechless.
Those who previously thought Jiang Cheng was boasting now felt utterly embarrassed, their faces metaphorically swollen from being slapped.
Despite showing off, his prowess was indeed impressive!
This combat power, capable of taking down immortals.
So much so that they dared not even approach Sect Leader Jiang now, as if he was more dangerous than those Upper Realm immortals.
