Chapter 1878: Battle of the Demon City — True Core Immortal Treasure (Part 1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

The Tongtian Demon City stood as a crucial stronghold of the demon sect, located along a vital strategic route. Natural barriers of towering sheer cliffs protected it, having repelled countless enemies and blocking many on this path.

The city’s lord, the Tongtian Demon Sovereign, was a prominent figure within the Arrogant Blood Gate sect, his status second only to the sect’s Grand Elders. Even the Grand Elders could not easily command his position, which reflected how extraordinary his standing was.

With such status came immense power. As a late-stage Xuanxian (Profound Immortal) cultivator, the Tongtian Demon Sovereign wielded many profound mystical artifacts and had defeated countless righteous adversaries, even slaying several fellow late-stage Xuanxian.

In this battle, however, he faced only a mid-stage Xuanxian female cultivator — a stark imbalance in strength.

Yet, as many demon cultivators in the city watched, awaiting their lord’s triumphant execution of the enemy, events unfolded far differently than expected.

In the void above, the two combatants simultaneously unleashed realm-defining manifestations that shook heaven and earth.

The Tongtian Demon Sovereign’s manifestation was grander, clearly indicating his superior cultivation.

Still, something inexplicable happened.

The void was ripped by relentless tens-of-thousands-foot-long thunderbolts, blazing with terrifying power that rivaled the Demon Sovereign’s aura.

After an initial probing clash, the two forces stood evenly matched, tearing apart the void and causing chaotic surges.

The mysterious woman in profound robes struck first, unleashing a devastating, sky-darkening barrage of divine thunder. The whole void instantly transformed into a dazzling sea of lightning, the electric radiance as solid as substance — utterly terrifying!

Even the demon cultivators in the city felt a chill in their hearts.

Faced with such overwhelming power, the Tongtian Demon Sovereign was shocked but did not hesitate. He quickly summoned an Immortal Treasure and met the assault head-on.

It was a massive, broad demonic blade, flat as a stone slab, radiating immense power.

With a sweeping slash, demonic light surged like a tidal wave, and space behind him rippled, devouring the lightning with overwhelming force.

“Boom!”

The clash between the two was swift and fierce; the Demon Sovereign did not hold back despite the opponent’s lower cultivation. The collision of divine powers caused thunderous roars and a raging storm of lightning and demonic energy, sweeping across a thousand miles.

The very city shook beneath their battle, and even the towering cliffs trembled, shedding stones and dust.

“How is this possible? A mere mid-stage Xuanxian able to withstand me?”

In an instant, in the void, the woman moved like lightning, wielding millions of divine thunderbolts, graceful as a startled swan and agile as a swimming dragon.

With each exchange, the Demon Sovereign gritted his teeth, eyes full of disbelief and burning red.

“Hmph! Ultimately, you’re just an inferior demonic cultivator, how can you compare to my divine thunder’s righteous might?”

At this, the woman issued a cold retort, her divine thunder’s fury growing, rolling forth like an overwhelming flood.

Thunder law is the embodiment of utmost yang and strength, capable of restraining all evil. To her, so-called demon cultivators truly were beneath her, completely suppressed.

“Arrogant fool! Do you really think no demon cultivator can match me?!”

This provocation enraged the Demon Sovereign. His anger surged as he summoned another profound artifact toward her.

It was a massive black umbrella, seemingly condensed from thick smoke. Once deployed, it expanded rapidly in the wind, able to withstand heavy lightning strikes, becoming a sky-darkening, earth-shrouding presence.

In moments, the world beneath the umbrella was engulfed in darkness, with cold, bone-chilling light and piercing frost creeping through the air.

“That’s the Bone Spirit Demon Umbrella! The city lord is furious! That woman is doomed!”

“Heh heh heh! Beneath this umbrella lie countless Xuanxian souls!”

“Do you really think the city lord has no tricks? Now, the real show begins, heh heh heh…”

This scene sent the demon cultivators atop the city into a frenzy, their voices like a roaring tide, their faces twisted with excitement.

This umbrella was one of the Demon Sovereign’s trump cards, having achieved great feats in battle. Every demon in the city knew of its fearsome reputation.

Though many had never seen it before, their enthusiasm was undiminished; as if in a trance, they already imagined the scene of Shen Ruyan being crushed and slain under its power.

“Since I’m forced to use this treasure, you might as well be dead already!”

Confident and furious beneath the umbrella’s might, the Demon Sovereign roared as his demonic aura surged upwards, feeding into the black storm.

Its terrifying power made heaven and earth tremble, filling him with absolute certainty.

“What an icy, chilling shadow power… it can even freeze thunder…”

Under this oppressive force, Shen Ruyan felt the cold creep into her very soul. Endless shadows and biting cold invaded, causing even her blazing divine thunder to slow and falter.

But standing at the edge of the battlefield, Jiang Chengxuan remained calm, hands behind his back, his gaze unwavering.

He had no intention of intervening, even as Shen Ruyan seemed to be caught in peril and the enemy displayed overwhelming pressure.

Because he believed firmly in Shen Ruyan’s power and skill — she was more than capable of overcoming this foe and completing her leap in challenge.
