Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats
Chapter 856: Fall of the Dao Integration Saints, Reward from the SystemWithin the confines of the Level 8 Nine Suns Heavenly Fire Array.
The three Dao Integration saints, Saint Dead Soul and his companions, experienced a sudden contraction of their pupils and their faces turned to horror.
They couldn’t fathom how a top-grade heaven-connecting spiritual treasure ended up in the hands of someone who wasn’t even a Dao Integration Saint, much less how this individual could unleash its true power.
This did not make sense at all.
But regardless of how illogical it seemed, the blade aura from the Slaughter Blade was already nearing their bodies, causing the void around them to collapse layer by layer.
Terrifying black holes in space extended towards them.
Saint Dead Soul and the other two no longer dared to hold back.
The three saints fully manifested the embryonic forms of their Dao.
Within the Nine Suns Heavenly Fire Array, a black lotus, a path of the netherworld, and a celestial rupture suddenly appeared.
However, even as they fully manifested their Nascent Dao Form and exerted their full strength and cultivation, they couldn’t withstand the full force of the Slaughter Blade, a top-grade heaven-connecting spiritual treasure.Boom!
The celestial rupture transformed by Saint Heaven Breaker was the first to collapse under the slash filled with endless murderous intent.
The entire sky canopy cracked with numerous black fissures and then shattered completely.
Saint Heaven Breaker stood frozen mid-air, looking in the direction of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, wanting to say something.
But as he opened his mouth, he disintegrated into particles of light, vanishing entirely in both form and spirit.
Boom!
Simultaneously, a shadow of a great Dao in the sky collapsed.
This was the sign of a Dao Integration Saint’s fall.
In the distant Brightlight City and even farther in Celestial Heir City, all cultivators looked up in shock towards the direction of the collapsing Dao shadow, realizing unanimously that a Dao Integration Saint had perished. How is this possible?
Until now, aside from the early demise of the Qian family’s ancestor at the beginning of the war, no Dao Integration Saint had fallen.
The recent casualty marked the second Dao Integration Saint to perish in this war.
But it wasn’t over yet.
Following the fall of Saint Heaven Breaker, the Nascent Dao Form of Saint Black Lotus, the enormous black lotus, suddenly saw its black light extinguish.
Then, the formidable blade aura swept across the giant black lotus again.
The black lotus ceased its rotation abruptly.
Then, with a swift motion, it split in half.
Saint Black Lotus, with a look of terror, barely managed to utter “you” before he too dissolved into particles of light, disappearing just as his companion had. Boom!
Once again, a shadow of the Dao in the sky shattered and collapsed.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was utterly astonished.
A second one, this was the second one to fall!
What exactly had transpired to cause such revered Dao Integration Saints to perish in succession?
An involuntary shiver ran through everyone’s hearts, a chill of foreboding and wonder.
Even Leng Yuehua was riddled with shock and uncertainty.
She couldn’t determine if Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were related to these events. If so, how had they achieved such a feat? This was far from the simplicity of using celestial might to cut down a Seethrough cultivator.
If so, how had they achieved such a feat?
This was far from the simplicity of slaying Celestial Radiance cultivation at the stage of Seethrough.
Slaying a Dao Integration Saint as a Void Returning cultivator, regardless of the means employed, whether personal strength or external forces, was unimaginable.
“No… Impossible!”
Witnessing the successive falls of Saint Black Lotus and Saint Heaven Breaker, Saint Dead Soul was engulfed in extreme fear.
At this moment, he could no longer concern himself with anything else.
His Nascent Dao Form exploded in a monumental burst, sending a shockwave that created a massive black chasm hundreds of meters across in the void.
The level 8 Nine Suns Heavenly Fire Array instantly crumbled under the force.
A faint shadow flickered and vanished in the void, moving so swiftly that even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, with their speed, could not react in time to catch it.
They could only watch as their opponent disappeared.
However, after this self-destructive act, Saint Dead Soul likely had only a fraction of his life force remaining.
The self-destruction of his Dao Form not only sealed his path forward in cultivation but also inflicted a fatal blow to his lifespan.
If his luck worsened, he might soon face the heavenly tribulation, which, in his current state, he would undoubtedly fail to overcome.
Essentially, Saint Dead Soul would be left as little more than a shell of his former self for a long, long time.
Sure enough.
With the power of the Slaughter Blade, although they managed to kill two Dao Integration Saints and severely wound another, it did not fulfill Jiang Chengxuan’s initial goal entirely.
Suddenly, standing in the void, Jiang Chengxuan felt an unprecedented weakness wash over him, a consequence of depleting his Dharmic power through the use of the Slaughter Blade.
Without hesitation, he immediately tapped into the stored Dharmic power within the Five Elements Diagram.
In just a moment, his previously drained Dharmic power was fully restored.
Simultaneously, a notification from the system echoed within his mind.
[Ding.]
[Congratulations, host, for achieving the milestone of slaying a Dao Integration cultivator for the first time. You have been awarded one Deduction Bead and one single-use item, the Absolute Defense Talisman.]
The benefits of the Deduction Bead go without saying.
However, it was the single-use item, the Absolute Defense Talisman, that caught Jiang Chengxuan’s attention.
According to the system’s description, this talisman could withstand any attack.
Does this mean it could even fend off an assault from an immortal of the Immortal Realms?
Jiang Chengxuan felt a surge of excitement at the thought.
Despite the significant cost of slaying Saint Black Lotus and his companions, including the use of two Level 8 trump cards, the gains were of equal value. Setting aside the system’s rewards, the storage rings left by Saint Black Lotus and Saint Heaven Breaker alone constituted a vast fortune, encapsulating the lifelong collections of two Dao Integration Saints.
The value contained within was immense.
Furthermore, the impact of this battle was significant.
The fall of two Dao Integration Saints and the crippling of another would undoubtedly weigh heavily on any future opponents.
Once the details of this encounter spread, any Dao Integration Saint considering confronting Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would have to carefully consider if they wished to share the fate of Saint Black Lotus, Saint Heaven Breaker, and Saint Dead Soul.
