Chapter 1005: Since You Chose to Come, None of You Should Leave
Editor: Henyee Translations

The combined strike of the demonic cultivators was immensely powerful, causing visible cracks to appear in Jiang Chengxuan’s Five Elements Samsara defense. This development sent a wave of euphoria through the Sacred Skeleton Sect’s cultivators as they sensed victory within their grasp, their dreams of glory seemingly unfolding before their eyes.

“Heh! Is that all the strength you have?” However, Jiang Chengxuan’s mocking retort suddenly cut through their illusions, casting a chill over their triumph.

“Still trying to talk tough, Jiang Chengxuan?” For some reason, Jiang Chengxuan’s simple words cooled the fervor of the demonic cultivators, instilling a sense of dread.

Perhaps it was Jiang Chengxuan’s legendary status in the Tianhong Realm, or maybe the deep impression of fear he had left on them from past encounters. Even though they believed Jiang Chengxuan to be severely injured, an intense wariness lingered.

But with the situation at a critical point, they had no choice but to continue their assault. Despite their reservations, they had to go all out to eliminate Jiang Chengxuan. And indeed, there was no reason to retreat just because of a few words; doing so would turn them into a laughingstock in the cultivation world.

“He must be bluffing, attack!” Caught between a rock and a hard place, the leader of the Sacred Skeleton Sect once again rallied his forces.

The four giant skeletal phantasms merged with the Sect’s rule of death, transforming into grotesque forms.

One phantasm sprouted countless bone hands and elongated its body, becoming a massive centipede-like creature spanning miles.

Another transformed into a demon with skeletal wings, whipping up winds of death.

Yet another grew a hundred feet tall, its body turning pitch black as it exuded an aura of death, corroding the void around it.

In the next instant, these skeletal phantasms unleashed their varied powers, aiming to shatter Jiang Chengxuan’s Five Elements Samsara defenses in a decisive blow.

Rumble! As the infinite aura of death infused their attacks, Jiang Chengxuan’s defenses finally burst apart. Yet, his expression remained unchanged, unnerving the attacking demonic cultivators.

“Die!” The lead demonic cultivator of the Sacred Skeleton Sect, his face twisted in rage, directed his skeletal phantasm to strike furiously at Jiang Chengxuan.

This attack, delivered with full force, shattered the void, transforming his rule into a sweeping storm.

But the next moment, what unfolded before their eyes sent a shockwave of despair through the hearts of the demonic cultivators. Jiang Chengxuan casually blocked the supposedly fatal strike with one hand.

Then, a startling transformation occurred that chilled the bones of all the Sacred Skeleton Sect members.

“The Infinite Wheel.”

With a fierce shout, Jiang Chengxuan activated the powerful physical divine power, “The Infinite Wheel.” Within a few breaths, his aura climbed exponentially, and in the blink of an eye, he was back to his peak condition.

“Gulp…” The sight caused the demonic cultivators to gasp in horror, especially those who had witnessed Jiang Chengxuan’s battles before.

They realized something incredible: Jiang Chengxuan’s Dharmic power had not only returned but was even more formidable than it had been a hundred years ago, surpassing even that of the Sacred Skeleton Sect’s ancestor, and by a significant margin.

Back then, with just an initial stage of Dao Mastery, Jiang Chengxuan had been able to battle the peak Dao Mastery cultivators. Now, merely a century later, he had reached the peak of Dao Mastery, which was an astounding feat.

“How is this possible!” The demonic cultivators roared in disbelief.

The legendary Immortal cave abode was said to offer miraculous opportunities that could instantly elevate one’s cultivation. Why had it been Jiang Chengxuan who stumbled upon them?

In a flash, jealousy, terror, and madness surged through the hearts of the Sacred Skeleton Sect cultivators.

They were unaware of the immense sacrifices Jiang Chengxuan had made to seize this chance, repeatedly facing life-and-death situations to gain the opportunities.

Given the first of the Seven Kills, these clamoring demonic cultivators likely wouldn’t have survived.

“Afraid? You rats of the demonic path, since you’ve come, none of you will leave.”

With his strength restored, Jiang Chengxuan’s words boomed with authority.

In the next moment, his aura of Dao Mastery at its absolute peak exploded, blasting the encircling demonic cultivators away.

His formidable power instantly dispersed their blockade, transforming the surrounding area into a domain governed by the Five Elements Samsara World.

The omnipresent aura of death was swiftly suppressed. The terrifying skeletal phantasms aged in an instant, their forms stooping as if bearing immense burdens, and the same was true for the demonic cultivators.

An unbearable pressure descended upon them in an instant, stifling their ability to channel magic or manipulate laws.

Only then did they recall the dread of being suppressed by the Haoran Sect. Jiang Chengxuan had been feigning weakness all along, setting a trap to lure them into complacency.

“Damn it! Damn it all! Don’t be afraid! Kill him, and we will have a way out!” the leader of the Sacred Skeleton Sect bellowed in rage and panic.

His words rekindled the fighting spirit of the demonic cultivators, pushing them into a corner where their only option was to fight desperately.

For these cultivators of the demonic path, madness was never in short supply.

Under the weight of overwhelming fear and desperation, they briefly suppressed their terror and launched another ferocious attack.

Their skeletal phantasms rekindled their vicious nature, and the black aura of death once again began to corrupt the corners of the Five Elements Samsara World.

In this do-or-die battle, the demonic cultivators unleashed even more terrifying power.

The gigantic skeletal phantasms pierced through the void, hurtling towards Jiang Chengxuan with renewed fury.

However, such a desperate struggle was akin to moths flinging themselves into the flame for Jiang Chengxuan, who had faced far more terrifying entities before.

“Activate!” Jiang’s voice boomed as he activated a powerful technique.

The Five Element Diagram emerged in his hand, transforming into the mighty Deep Earth Halberd. Within the vast body of the halberd, stars churned with immense power.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Jiang soared into the air, and with a sweep of the Deep Earth Halberd, he suppressed everything in his path.
