Despite this, Jiang Chengxuan still felt immense pressure.

After slaying the first pseudo-Earth Immortal puppet, Jiang Chengxuan realized something unusual.

The puppets were far more bizarre than he had initially thought.

The strange veins formed by the calamity tree branches running through their bodies made them incredibly difficult to kill.

Unless he pierced their hearts or severed their heads, any other damage they sustained was not fatal.

For instance, many of the puppets near Jiang Chengxuan, who attacked ferociously, had already sprouted new branches from within their wounds, covering their bodies.

These calamity tree branches emerged from the very wounds Jiang Chengxuan had inflicted, quickly healing them and making the puppets as deadly as before.

This strange regeneration ability caught Jiang Chengxuan off guard, making the fight much more grueling than expected.

However, utilizing his mastery of spatial techniques and reincarnation powers, he managed to escape their encirclement and break out from the side.

“Whoo—!”

With a heavy sigh, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes grew serious as he finally had a moment to check on the status of Xuan Han Immortal (渊寒仙人), Fu Guang Immortal (福光仙人), and Qing Yun Immortal (青云尊者).

Unsurprisingly, Xuan Han Immortal, Fu Guang Immortal, and Qing Yun Immortal were all locked in fierce, life-threatening combat, constantly at risk.

Each of them was surrounded by a dozen or more pseudo-Earth Immortal puppets, who attacked in perfect synchronization.

Even as Earth Immortal experts, they couldn’t withstand the onslaught head-on and had no choice but to evade and defend.

Moreover, many of the puppets surrounding them had sprouted the same calamity tree branches, using them to recover from injuries.

This eerie regenerative power left Xuan Han Immortal and the others deeply frustrated.

“Watch out!”

Suddenly, Jiang Chengxuan’s figure shot forward once more, transforming into a streak of immortal light as he summoned his Tai Chu Water-Fire Sword, charging directly into the midst of the pseudo-Earth Immortal puppets.

In a flash, he struck out with a sword that was as elusive as a hornless deer, stabbing with pinpoint accuracy into the heart of a nearby puppet.

“Boom!”

The overwhelming power of the Tai Chu water-fire force exploded, instantly obliterating the calamity tree branches inside the puppet.

As the branches were reduced to ashes, Jiang Chengxuan seized the moment, killing another puppet in the blink of an eye.

“Thank you, Daoist Jiang!”

Qing Yun Immortal, who had just been saved, was visibly startled and thanked him with lingering fear.

The puppet Jiang Chengxuan had just slain had been hiding in a blind spot in his senses, ready to launch a fatal sneak attack from behind.

Had Jiang Chengxuan not intervened at that crucial moment, Qing Yun Immortal would have been overwhelmed by the remaining puppets, putting his life in serious danger.

“Hmm.”

Jiang Chengxuan simply nodded, offering no further comment.

There was no time for pleasantries—the puppets Jiang Chengxuan had evaded were already converging on him again, dark shadows forming like a storm as they pursued, giving him no time to rest.

With no room for conversation, waves of attacks crashed down once more, forcing Jiang Chengxuan to brace himself with his Blessed Land as he charged heavenward into another round of bloody combat.

The resilience and ferocity of these puppets far exceeded their expectations.

Despite the prolonged battle, they had yet to find an opening to break through.

On the contrary, their situation was growing more desperate by the moment.

“Blessed Light Illuminate the World!

Fortune Spirits, heed my command!”

In Fu Guang Immortal’s sector of the battlefield, he too was forced to unleash his trump card.

With a shout and a series of complex seals, he summoned a powerful treasure—a shining seal that radiated the light of fortune.

From the seal, countless apparitions of mythical beasts emerged, all glowing with the blessing of fortune.

These celestial beasts, full of divine might, charged fearlessly into the fray, pushing back the attacking puppets.

Meanwhile, Xuan Han Immortal’s cold gaze was fixed on the battlefield.

Surrounded by puppets wielding a variety of divine powers, he harnessed the power of extreme light, darting left and right to evade and counterattack.

Despite being second only to Jiang Chengxuan in strength, he was still struggling to handle the relentless barrage.

Though he managed to slay one pseudo-Earth Immortal puppet, it made little difference—the remaining number of puppets still hovered above seventy, and their relentless assault pushed Xuan Han Immortal to the limits of his abilities.

The entire battlefield was filled with shockwaves from the clash of Earth Immortal-level powers.

Each thunderous explosion marked the collision of dozens of powerful forces, shaking the heavens and sending chaotic energy spiraling through the sky.

Had any True Immortal entered this battlefield, they would have been obliterated instantly by the residual forces.

This conflict had escalated into one of the most intense and cataclysmic battles the Immortal Realm had ever witnessed, rivaling anything seen in the past million years.

Every individual in this fight, even the puppets, could dominate entire regions of the Immortal Realm.

If these eighty-one puppets were unleashed on the Western Continent, they would sweep through unchecked unless other Earth Immortals intervened.

In fact, the battle was affecting even distant areas, like the Calamity Energy Wall (劫气黑墙).

Although Jiang Chengxuan and the others were unaware, the mist surrounding the black wall had begun to thin and ripple, as if something within was about to separate or change.

This phenomenon did not escape the notice of Earth Immortals in other regions.

They could sense an unusual shift, filling them with unease, but they had no idea what was about to happen.

Time passed in a haze of bloodshed and destruction.

No one knew how long the battle had raged, but every moment was spent at the brink of death.

Every ounce of immortal energy and willpower was being wrung from their bodies as they fought on.

Countless immortals had already perished, but no one had the luxury to mourn.

Pills were consumed in bulk, and immortal treasures were pushed to their limits, breaking apart in battle as they were used to their fullest extent.

In the chaos, strange phenomena rose and fell, the power of the Dao flickering like the light of a dying star.

The battlefield had devolved into a formless void, where even senses were restricted.

Flashes of lightning and bursts of immortal light illuminated the darkness, with shadows—some enemies, some allies—dashing past at close range.

Within the Loose Cultivator Alliance’s ranks, Shen Ruyan (沈如烟) led the immortals, using their combined divine powers to hold their formation.

Her Tai Chu Divine Thunder had held back countless waves of attacks, keeping their group intact.

However, everyone within the formation was battered and exhausted, their immortal auras dimming.

Injuries from calamity energy marred their bodies, and their expressions were grim.

But the most terrifying signs came from beyond the Loose Cultivator Alliance’s sector of the battlefield.

Through the chaos, they could sense that more and more immortals were perishing.

In fact, an estimated thirty percent of the immortals in the other factions had already fallen.

And yet, only two of the colossal calamity spirits had been defeated!

One of those had been slain by Shen Ruyan herself, at the cost of much of her own energy.

The tide of battle was rapidly turning against them.

More and more immortals were dying, and even Shen Ruyan, despite her formidable powers, was beginning to feel overwhelmed.

“Damn it!

If this keeps up, the battle will collapse!”

The blood-soaked Crimson Slash Immortal said in a grim tone.

Shen Ruyan’s eyes turned icy as her brows furrowed tightly.

This battlefield might not be the key to the entire war, but if they were to fall here, the consequences would be dire.

Jiang Chengxuan and his group could be fighting for years.

Earth Immortals could draw endless power from their Blessed Lands, fighting indefinitely as long as they survived.

But in the meantime, if this battlefield were to fall and the calamity spirits wiped out all one hundred immortals, they would march into the Western Continent as if it were an unguarded land.

“Looks like! I’ll have to use the trump card my husband gave me!”

Shen Ruyan muttered under her breath, her expression filled with resolve.

She knew that now was the time to reveal her final weapon.

There was no room left to hold back.
