Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 1090: Temporary Conclusion, Cleaning Up the Battlefield
Editor: Henyee Translations

“At this point, you still harbor such wishful thinking?” Another Demonic Sect Daolord sneered at Daolord Phantom Ghost’s plea for mercy. “Failure is our destiny. We might as well die gloriously than live in hiding in the lower realms. It’s a pity I won’t see the sights of the Immortal Realm.”

In the silent gaze of Jiang Chengxuan and the others, this Daolord muttered to himself.

He didn’t truly worship the demon immortal; he was merely pursuing his own path.

But once committed, there was no turning back. With their defeat sealed, only death awaited them.

“Jiang Chengxuan, among all of us, you are the most likely to ascend to the Immortal Realm. So, you should be the one to send me on my way,” he said calmly, accepting his fate.

Though he faced death, his obsession with ascending to the Immortal Realm remained unshaken. Perhaps dying by Jiang Chengxuan’s sword, leaving behind a wisp of his soul, would allow him to follow Jiang Chengxuan to the Immortal Realm in some form.

“Very well, as you wish,” Jiang Chengxuan agreed without hesitation.

These opponents, though they had caused much harm, were part of the cultivation world’s harsh reality. Now, they would face judgment for their actions.

With a flash of light, Jiang Chengxuan summoned the Five Elements Diagram, which transformed into the Golden Void Sword.

This sword, sharp and swift, would ensure a clean end. Their gazes met for an instant, and Jiang Chengxuan struck without delay.

The sword’s sharpness sliced through the void, and with a flash of blinding light, the Daolord’s head rolled to the ground. The heavens echoed with signs of his fall, and his essence dissipated into a wisp of black smoke.

In the wake of these consecutive falls, the cultivators sensed a profound change in the world. The Mahayana Daolords, wielders of immense power, were part of the world’s cycle.

Their end would strengthen the Floodgate Realm, which was why the world’s will tolerated their existence. As their lives concluded, their power returned to the world, making it stronger.

“Now, Daolord Phantom Ghost, it’s your turn,” Daolord Allheaven said as they all turned their attention to the last remaining Daolord.

His face was a mix of anger, sadness, resentment, and fear. Among the Daolords, he was the youngest and had the most life left. He was also the most cautious and timid.

He had been coerced into the demon immortal’s plan after being seriously injured in a previous battle with Jiang Chengxuan.

He had no choice but to join when the demon immortal and other Daolords forced his hand. However, these reasons wouldn’t save him. Jiang Chengxuan and the others had no reason to let him live.

“I don’t want to die! I really don’t want to die!” Daolord Phantom Ghost shouted in despair, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

Instead of giving up, he chose to fight to the death, unleashing all his Dao rules towards Jiang Chengxuan and the others.

His Yellow Springs Dao turned the entire battlefield into a realm of ghosts, with countless ghastly spirits emerging.

But for Jiang Chengxuan and his allies, this was merely the struggle of a cornered beast. They unleashed their own powers, systematically dismantling the Yellow Springs Dao.

The ghostly spirits were obliterated, and Daolord Phantom Ghost was torn apart by their combined forces, his body reduced to a mist of blood.

The heavens above turned a ghostly blue, casting an eerie light across the Floodgate Realm.

It seemed as though countless spirits found peace, their souls finally resting. This was the end for Daolord Phantom Ghost, the culmination of his countless atrocities.

“It seems Daolord Phantom Ghost was indeed a scourge,” Shen Ruyan remarked, sensing the change in the atmosphere.

She had no sympathy for the Daolord who had once ambushed Jiang Chengxuan.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Thus concluded the most epic war the Floodgate Realm had seen in millennia.

This battle had drawn nearly all the realm’s high-level cultivators, with numerous Mahayana Daolords participating.

It was the culmination of centuries of planning by the demon immortal and the Demonic Sect, involving countless sacrifices and the use of near-immortal formations.

Despite the odds, Jiang Chengxuan led the righteous forces to victory, completely eradicating the Demonic Sect. All the high-level demonic cultivators fell, including five Mahayana Daolords.

From this day forward, the Floodgate Realm would know no more demonic forces.

As the battle’s abrupt end sank in, the surviving cultivators were left speechless. The cost had been tremendous, and even now, they were still coming to terms with the horror of death they had faced.

“Everyone, we have won this battle. The demon immortal’s schemes are not yet over, but we now know he can be defeated. Let’s return and recover. I will ensure the spoils of this war are distributed to all sects,” Jiang Chengxuan said, bringing them back to reality.

With mixed emotions, the cultivators saluted their comrades and began to leave. Some, more enthusiastic, stayed behind to help Jiang Chengxuan and the others collect the spoils of war.

The Demonic Sect’s main base, nearby, held vast resources and treasures, enough to compensate for their losses.

Jiang Chengxuan did not object. After checking on Jiang Anran and the others, he sent them to gather the loot. He and Shen Ruyan then bid farewell to the others and headed elsewhere.

As they traversed the void, Jiang Chengxuan’s thoughts turned to the information about the Sky-Severing Array.
