Chapter 1718: The New Scripture, Both Treasures Unleashed 1

In the vast and lightless poison swamp, the poison calamity pervaded every inch of space, eroding all it touched. Yet within this dreadful, sunless land, a hidden light began to emerge, in a harmony that felt both righteous and wicked at the same time.

This strange and paradoxical sensation caused Jiang Chengxuan’s heart to tremble. His gaze grew intensely focused. A common truth in the world was that whenever something abnormal occurred, there was certainly something suspicious behind it.

“That is… the aura of the Eternal Manifestation Scripture!” Jiang Chengxuan murmured, recognizing the familiar sacred aura. His eyes widened as he realized the strange long hand standing in the poison swamp, reaching into the heavens, was not only connected to the calamity, but was also linked to the powerful ancient scripture he had once encountered.

The Eternal Manifestation Scripture was a mystical object he had obtained from the lost realm of the Xuan Immortal. It was initially sealed in that realm, keeping at bay the dark and ominous forces from the ancient world.

However, it was later broken open by the Tian Immortals of the Immortal Tribulation Sect, leading to a great battle and eventual acquisition by Jiang Chengxuan. The origins of the scripture were unclear, and although he had managed to comprehend part of it, it was evident that he did not possess the complete version.

Jiang Chengxuan now suspected that the ominous hand was somehow linked to the scripture. Perhaps, when the seal had been broken, a part of the scripture had been taken away by the dark forces.

“Could it be… when the seal was broken, part of the scripture was taken by the dark forces?” Jiang Chengxuan muttered to himself, his voice low and filled with uncertainty.

Before he could think further, a battle had already begun to unfold. The strange hand in the sky moved, quick as a snake, descending from the heavens.

It hovered at the same height as Jiang Chengxuan, its long, slender fingers snapping, releasing a dazzling burst of light from the many totems etched upon its arm. The golden glow radiated through the world, exuding an extremely sacred aura.

Then, a beam of light faster than lightning shot from the snapping fingers, heading straight for Jiang Chengxuan. It reached him in an instant.

The space before him flared as the intense light left a scorching trail. The beam struck the barrier of his Xuan Realm with a deafening boom. The powerful force sent Jiang Chengxuan tumbling through space, causing ripples and distortions as he collided with the shifting environment.

“Suppress!” Jiang Chengxuan roared, his energy surging through his body. He stomped his feet, causing his Xuan Realm to expand dramatically, halting his backward flight and stabilizing him.

His gaze sharpened as he saw the barrier of his Xuan Realm, now tainted with a sealing power, slowly eroding his immortal power and freezing the area within.

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!” The ominous humming sound continued to grow louder, and the entire world seemed to tremble. It was as if a new sun had risen from nowhere, illuminating the space with its overwhelming, blazing energy.

Jiang Chengxuan was prepared, however. As soon as the light ignited, he swiftly drew out the Taichu Hongmeng Sword and collided with the incoming force.

The purple-golden Heavenly River surged like a tidal wave, blocking the light in its tracks. The two divine forces clashed with explosive power, sending shockwaves that rattled the surrounding area, igniting a storm of unimaginable intensity.

The entire poison swamp, extending for miles, was now consumed by the blazing storm. The two divine auras ascended into the sky, seeming as if they might cause the very world to explode.

Yet, the poison calamity was unaffected. The divine energy did not seem to influence the poisonous forces, which began to corrupt the very air around Jiang Chengxuan, slowing his movements. It felt as though he was sinking into the swamp, with his immortal power becoming sluggish.

“Eternal Manifestation Scripture, manifest!” Jiang Chengxuan chanted, summoning golden symbols from his Xuan Realm. They formed into a golden armor around him, seeking to shield him from the corruption of the poison calamity.

However, this time, the power of the Eternal Manifestation Scripture was ineffective. The scriptures, which had once been a powerful defense against dark forces, seemed to falter, failing to dispel the creeping corruption.

Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes darkened, realizing that the scripture was no longer as effective in this place. He could no longer rely on it to combat the ominous forces, and his situation was becoming more dangerous by the moment.

“Hmph! Let’s see if you can handle this!” With a cold grunt, Jiang Chengxuan made a swift decision. After blocking the beams from the giant hand with the Taichu Hongmeng Sword, he called upon another treasure.

With a burst of greenish-blue and pale white light, a mystical scroll materialized in the air, signaling the emergence of the Golden Immortal treasure!
