Chapter 993: Seizing the Opportunity, Critically Injuring the ninth-level Beast
Editor: Henyee Translations

The promotion of the Five Elements Diagram to an Arcane Treasure was undoubtedly profound. The divine light of the five elements lingered continuously, with each of the treasures representing the five elements undergoing slow transformations.

All these changes were concealed within the Five Elements Samsara World, further masked by the chaotic battlefield, rendering them undetectable to the two battling ninth-level beasts who continued their desperate fight.

In Jiang Chengxuan’s palm, the power of the Five Elements Diagram had surpassed its original limits, quickly approaching a new threshold and reaching the level of an Arcane Treasure.

The original forms of the treasures each underwent significant transformations. The edge of the Golden Void Sword now carried an extremely domineering layer of invisible fluctuations, capable of distorting the void and slicing through all Dao rules.

The body of the Deep Earth Halberd shone as deep and luminous as starlight, adorned with innumerable stars that were born and extinguished in cycles, adding a layer of rotational explosive power.

Within the Yin-Yang Divine Water Jade, besides the yin-yang divine water, an additional force of universal Dao rules had appeared, allowing Jiang Chengxuan to enter a spiritual form.

The Eastern Azure Dragon Flag now featured the totems of five-colored divine dragons, enabling it to manipulate the power of the five elements and greatly enhancing its ability to confound and trap enemies.

The Eternal Sun Furnace also acquired the ability to command exotic flames, allowing for countless transformations of its contained flames, equally effective against all creatures.

After manifesting its final transformation, the Five Elements Diagram finally stabilized and successfully ascended to the rank of an Arcane Treasure.

As Jiang Chengxuan’s personal spiritual treasure, its promotion undoubtedly enhanced his strength once again.

The promotion of the Five Elements Diagram, which encompassed five different transformations, was akin to Jiang Chengxuan suddenly possessing five different Arcane Treasures. The boost to his combat power was terrifyingly immense.

Holding the newly-promoted Golden Void Sword, Jiang Chengxuan cleared all distractions from his mind, purging any thoughts except for victory.

He believed that he was destined to win this battle.

Meanwhile, in the void, another terrifying wave of fluctuations erupted as the two ninth-level beasts unleashed another round of deadly attacks.

This time, the already collapsing void was now just like a tidal wave, and the chaotic energy surged through every part of this world.

In the midst of the darkness that had engulfed the void, numerous streams of chaotic energy coalesced into a miniature world, enveloping the two ninth-level beasts.

This time, facing the oncoming aftermath, Jiang Chengxuan did not evade but stood up, wielding his Arcane Treasure. The sharp force of breaking the void shone forth, splitting the chaotic currents in two as they flowed past him.

In the next moment, he channeled his energy through the Golden Void Sword, transforming it into a sword qi that directly plunged into the chaotic world.

With the newly-promoted Arcane Treasure, the Golden Void Sword, he silently blended into the chaos, and the figures of the two ninth-level beasts once again appeared before him.

At this moment, both beasts were heavily wounded, showing signs of mutual destruction.

The beast wielding the power of void space, covered in spikes, had many broken off, with gruesome wounds all over its body oozing purple blood, continuously corroded by the chaotic energy.

The dragon-like beast controlling the laws of vibration was also faring poorly. The tearing force of the void had shattered most of its scales, and its huge tail was nearly severed, constantly emitting chaotic energy.

Clearly, both creatures were fighting their last breath, even nearing death.

However, in such a state, they still did not intend to cease fighting, looking to make one final, desperate attempt.

Thus, Jiang Chengxuan assessed that these two ninth-level beasts, in fact, were not as feeble as they appeared—they still retained about thirty percent of their strength.

After all, ninth-level beasts were not mindless beasts; this appearance was merely a ruse to deceive their opponent.

But at this moment, Jiang Chengxuan no longer intended to merely observe. There was no time for prolonged uncertainties.

Opportunities were rare, and he wasn’t the only potential beneficiary.

With two ninth-level beasts still retaining thirty percent of their Mahayana-level strength, and Jiang Chengxuan holding a Arcane Treasure, though tense, he was unafraid.

He immediately used the Yin-Yang Divine Water Jade, consuming the contained yin-yang divine water. Instantly, his aura leapt to another level, reaching a peak state.

As the two ninth-level beasts roared and collided once again, engaging in fierce combat, Jiang Chengxuan made his decisive move.

The newly promoted Deep Earth Halberd was immediately deployed, evolving within the chaos to form a galaxy. Countless stars fell simultaneously, unleashing a force on par with the ninth-level beasts.

The terrifying spectacle caught the two beasts completely off guard, their eyes wide with astonishment and panic setting in for the first time in a long while.

Within the celestial cave, they knew of no other entity that could threaten them. Unexpectedly, at their most critical and weakest moment, such a powerful force had intruded into the battlefield.

How could they not be terrified?

Was there some unknown transformation within the celestial cave, or was this the incarnation of some powerful being?

In an instant, myriad thoughts flooded the minds of the two ninth-level beasts.

However, at that moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s formidable technique struck towards the closest ninth-level beast.

ROAR!

The void beast immediately roared in response. In a moment of desperation, it forcibly manifested the power of its Dao, creating countless spikes in the void that thrust towards the Deep Earth Halberd.

Its strike released the power of a Mahayana at that instant, significantly weakening Jiang Chengxuan’s attack.

As expected, the two ninth-level beasts had indeed concealed their true strength, only revealing their full capabilities in a life-or-death moment.

The suppression of the Master’s Path by the Mahayana rules quickly became apparent. Although Jiang Chengxuan’s attack was weakened, it remained unstoppable and utterly terrifying.

After all, the Deep Earth Halberd, now an Arcane Treasure, was unaffected by the Mahayana rules.

Rumble!

A million falling stars clashed with the formidable spikes, setting off a series of horrific explosions. Each star collided and annihilated against the spikes, creating numerous miniature black holes.

But ultimately, the Deep Earth Halberd, carrying the force of a million stars, broke through the void’s blockade and struck fiercely upon the spine of the ninth-level beast.

This strike shattered countless spikes on the beast’s back, and the wounds that had been suppressed burst open violently, with blood flowing like rivers.

Jiang Chengxuan, with a single decisive move, had managed to inflict serious damage on the ninth-level beast.
