Chapter 831: Slaying, Departure, Ambushed
Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, both Divine Lord Dark Fiend and Divine Lord Celestial Harmony felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue from the depths of their soul, as if they had been through countless fierce battles.
Their physical bodies, Primordial Spirit, and even their Dharmic power seemed to teeter on the brink of collapse, unable to sustain themselves any longer.
Yet, it was precisely at this moment that Shen Ruyan unleashed another formidable technique. A thunderbolt, embodying the essence of black and white qi, shot straight towards them.
This was her Primordial Unified Qi Thunder, another deadly move.
“Oh no!”
In that instant, both Divine Lord Dark Fiend and Divine Lord Celestial Harmony sensed an unprecedented danger.
They could no longer care for anything else as their figures fragmented into numerous shadows, attempting to escape in all directions.
Buzz!
However, just then, ripples like flowing water swept across every person present.
In the blink of an eye, the many fleeing shadows of Divine Lord Dark Fiend and Divine Lord Celestial Harmony were forcibly pulled back to their original positions.
“Is this… time reversal?”
A heavy realization sank into their hearts.
Without hesitation, they both bit down hard and retrieved an item from their possessions.
These were life-saving talismans given by their sects, capable of enabling their escape even if space was sealed off or if they were trapped within the domain of a Seethrough powerhouse.
Such treasures were rare. Each of them possessed only one.
Once used, they would have no means of escaping similar perilous situations in the future.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, we will remember today’s enmity.
The days ahead are long, and we hope you can remain as formidable as you are today.
Otherwise, we will not give you the slightest chance!”
Having said that, Divine Lord Dark Fiend and Divine Lord Celestial Harmony were about to activate their escape talismans when suddenly, Jiang Chengxuan transformed into a beam of light.
In that moment, their field of vision seemed infinitely stretched, and their thoughts, reactions, and movements became exceedingly sluggish.
They sensed something was amiss and struggled to break free from this sensation, but to no avail.
As Jiang Chengxuan’s figure drew ever closer, Divine Lord Dark Fiend and Divine Lord Celestial Harmony finally showed a trace of terror on their faces.

Slash!
As their pleas fell, the “light” that Jiang Chengxuan had become already swept across their bodies.
In an instant, Divine Lord Dark Fiend and Divine Lord Celestial Harmony were engulfed in endless golden light.
Seizing the opportunity, Fan Tianyan, Divine Lord Righteous Sun, and others within Heavenly Pillar City launched an attack on the remaining cultivators from both the Ghost Hall and Joyous Union Valley.
Soon, a great number of their cultivators fell, and those who remained dared not linger any longer, fleeing towards the distance.
Unfortunately, before they could get far, Shen Ruyan transformed into a bolt of lightning, flashing past them.
Crackle!
One could see several charred figures plummeting from the sky.
When everything finally quieted down, the golden “light” that Jiang Chengxuan had become slowly receded.
As for Divine Lord Dark Fiend and Divine Lord Celestial Harmony, there was no trace of them left.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Sister Shen, for your support.” At this time, the cultivators of Heavenly Pillar City gathered around them, politely greeting the two.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan responded with courtesy, exchanging pleasantries with everyone.
Led by Fan Tianyan and Divine Lord Righteous Sun, they then entered Heavenly Pillar City.
Their support mission wasn’t meant to last long.
Under normal circumstances, they would leave once other senior brothers or sisters arrived to take over their duties.
So.
After entering Heavenly Pillar City, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not go anywhere else but stayed in their own cave abode within the city to cultivate.
About half a year later.
Several streaks of light approached from the horizon, signaling the arrival of the cultivators set to replace Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Therefore, without further delay, after handing over their tasks, the two set off back towards the direction of the Haoran Sect.
However, as they passed through a place known as Mad Mist Ridge, columns of light suddenly rose around them.
Then, a cage of heaven and earth thundered down, trapping them both inside.
This development immediately caused Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s expressions to turn solemn.
Looking up, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan saw two familiar figures slowly materializing before them.
It was none other than the Seethrough powerhouses from Joyous Union Valley, Divine Lord Jade Face and Divine Lord Chaos Fiend.
“How could they possibly know of our whereabouts?”
In that moment, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan realized that their movements must have been leaked.
There had to be a spy from Joyous Union Valley within Heavenly Pillar City, and their rank and status were likely not low.
“Hehe, how do you feel, the two of you? Surprised? Delighted?”
Divine Lord Jade Face suddenly spoke.
He looked at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, saying,
Rest assured, I won’t kill you so easily.
Especially you…”
He pointed at Shen Ruyan, “Such excellent talent will definitely serve as the best furnace for us two.
And you…
Hehe…”
He then pointed at Jiang Chengxuan with a sinister chuckle,
I will make you watch, watch how your Dao companion is toyed with in our hands.”
“You! Are! Seeking! Death!”
At this moment, a fierce killing intent surged within Jiang Chengxuan’s heart.
He coldly said to Divine Lord Jade Face and Divine Lord Chaos Fiend,
“Do you really think you’ve got us cornered?”
Divine Lord Jade Face and Divine Lord Chaotic Fiend raised their eyebrows,
then laughed coldly together,
“What? Even now, do you think you have any tricks left?
Are you not aware of the grand array I have prepared for you? It’s called the
Sky Infinity Lock Array,1 an absolutely domineering array.
Nobody can easily break the seal of this array.
Unless you are a Dao Integration Saint, but is that possible?”
With that, Divine Lord Jade Face laughed again, smugly.
Today, he intended to use the two most talented and potential individuals from the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley as the prime sacrifices for this war.
He imagined the expressions on the Dao Integration Saints of the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley would be quite a sight to behold.
Without wasting any more time, Divine Lord Jade Face and Divine Lord Chaos Fiend immediately made their move, pressing down on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan with their power.
