Chapter 1108: Perfected Mahayana
Editor: Henyee Translations

As Jiang Chengxuan’s energy waned, the Demon Immortal’s true spirit launched a frenzied suppression. In the midst of the Floodgate Realm cultivators’ laments, the world once again plunged into darkness.

“Kehehehe! Boy, why aren’t you acting so arrogant now? To think you dared challenge me, a true immortal, you are beyond foolish!”

Unleashing the shadow rules, the Demon Immortal’s true spirit forced Jiang Chengxuan into a desperate defense, taunting him relentlessly.

As an immortal from the higher realms, being suppressed by a lower realm cultivator had filled him with boundless rage.

Yet, due to Jiang Chengxuan’s terrifying display of power, he had begrudgingly retreated, waiting for the moment his opponent’s secret technique would fail.

That moment had come, and now he intended to unleash all his pent-up fury.

In the void, the sinister blood threads the Demon Immortal controlled transformed into piercing spikes, tearing through the space to impale Jiang Chengxuan.

At the same time, a fearsome shadowy firestorm surged from the vast black sun, hurling towards him without mercy.

The Demon Immortal, with his extensive battle experience, seized upon Jiang Chengxuan’s moment of vulnerability, intending to kill him with a single blow, leaving no chance for recovery.

In this dire situation, Jiang Chengxuan found himself in a desperate predicament.

Stripped of the system’s immortal power, he was now merely a Mahayana cultivator. Such overwhelming power was beyond his capacity to resist.

“Husband!”

“Chengxuan!”

“Master Jiang!”

Witnessing this hopeless scene, all the cultivators of the Floodgate Realm cried out in despair, their eyes wide with horror.

Even Shen Ruyan, her eyes red with fury, was about to recklessly unleash her Dao rule to attempt a rescue.

But at that very instant, on the brink of death, a familiar sound resonated in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.

Ding!

Congratulations, host, on achieving the milestone of withstanding the Demon Immortal’s assault for one hour!

The cold system voice sounded incredibly melodious to Jiang Chengxuan at this critical juncture.

He had an instinctual belief that the system’s reward would perfectly resolve his imminent crisis.

Congratulations, host, on obtaining a Perfection Pill. Upon consumption, your current cultivation will reach perfection.

Even as he faced death, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart leapt with joy. The system’s reward was a Perfection Pill!

Consuming it would instantly elevate him to the perfected stage of the Mahayana Realm, bringing him to the brink of immortality.

Without hesitation, a peculiar ripple appeared in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand, revealing the pill. He swallowed it immediately.

Instantly, the pill’s miraculous energy surged through his body, infusing him with boundless strength. Within a few breaths, his aura climbed once more, shaking the void with relentless power.

An unseen force poured into Jiang Chengxuan, stirring the heavens and earth. A terrifying storm brewed around him, centered on his position.

The immense spiritual pressure suppressed everything around him, shattering the Demon Immortal’s attacks.

“What’s happening?”

“What is this?”

“Could it be… the hour is up? Does Master Jiang have another trump card?”

The unexpected turn of events left the Floodgate Realm cultivators astounded, their shock giving way to elation. As long as Jiang Chengxuan lived, hope remained.

“Impossible!”

In stark contrast, the Demon Immortal’s true spirit was in utter disbelief, his mind reeling. He had executed his strategy flawlessly, yet Jiang Chengxuan survived and even grew stronger.

“Curse it! Then let you all be my sacrifice!”

Driven to madness, the Demon Immortal roared, his Dao rules sweeping towards the crowd below. But in that moment, the storm around Jiang Chengxuan exploded, sending a powerful surge that repelled the Demon Immortal’s giant hand back to the sky.

Moments later, the storm dissipated, and beams of radiant immortal light burst forth, revealing Jiang Chengxuan standing firm, exuding an aura that rivaled true immortals.

He had now truly achieved the power of an immortal. His body, soul, and Dao rules had begun to merge with immortal energy, stepping into the realm of semi-immortality.

“Die now!”

The Demon Immortal, now truly enraged, channeled the shadow forces from across the heavens. His giant hand morphed into a burning shadow blade, an artifact of pure malevolence.

“Slash!”

Without another word, the two clashed with full force. The shadow blade, shrouded in black immortal light, swung towards Jiang Chengxuan, plunging the world into darkness. Even the spectators felt enveloped in impenetrable blackness.

In this instant, the shadow blade manifested behind Jiang Chengxuan, aiming silently for his heart. The Demon Immortal’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent, confident that this strike would end Jiang Chengxuan.
