Chapter 1727: The Giant’s Mutation, the Two Treasures Reappear Part 2

The two black palms, resembling a dark curtain, were forcibly shaken apart, once again revealing the light.

Jiang Chengxuan seized the fleeting opportunity and, surrounded by layers of Xuan light, soared into the sky, trying to create some distance from the black-flame giant, hoping to place himself in a position of advantage.

However, the black-flame giant seemed to have become smarter, able to perceive Jiang Chengxuan’s thoughts. Before Jiang Chengxuan could fly too far, two beams of black light shot out from its hollow eyes, resembling black torrents that charged forward, directly piercing through the void, arriving after a delay.

This, however, still did not trouble Jiang Chengxuan. As soon as he felt the black-flame giant’s energy surging, in a single breath, Jiang Chengxuan made a quick move. Countless golden runes condensed around him, linking together, and six golden wings appeared on his back.

As the black beams of light shot toward him, the wings vibrated, releasing an immense thrust. Jiang Chengxuan’s form left behind numerous afterimages as he dodged.

The black light beams passed through the afterimages, shattering them into bubbles of light, but Jiang Chengxuan himself was untouched as the beams missed, shooting up to the nine heavens.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The black-flame giant, still relentless, had its primal runes, imprinted on its back, tremble. It began drawing immense amounts of power from the void, transforming it into countless black beams that shot forward.

The air itself was pierced, creating an endless stream of black light like a rain of arrows, darkening the sky and obscuring the sun. Each beam contained strange principles capable of injuring even a Xuanxian.

“Buzz–! Buzz–!”

Under the overwhelming black light, Jiang Chengxuan remained focused, constantly dodging. Relying on his sharp intuition, he moved with impeccable precision, weaving between the dark beams, barely missing each one as if he were a shadow.

Countless dark beams grazed his side, each encounter seeming perilous, but after countless waves of assault, Jiang Chengxuan remained unharmed.

“Let’s see if you can handle my treasure!”

At this point, Jiang Chengxuan had already distanced himself enough to be out of immediate danger from the black-flame giant.

He quickly avoided another volley of black light, and then suddenly stopped, his eyes cold as he spoke softly to the giant, “Let me end this.”

In the blink of an eye, nine-colored celestial light spread out, illuminating the world. A scroll, formed from deep azure and pale white light, materialized in the air.

Then, the Nine Marvels Bodhi Lotus Lamp burst to life, and a phantom divine lotus bloomed around Jiang Chengxuan. In its center, an ancient Bodhi tree swayed, releasing a powerful surge of celestial energy.

The tremendous celestial power surged into the Golden Immortal Scroll, causing it to slowly unfurl, releasing an overwhelming pressure.

With a tremendous roar, the world seemed to be sliced open, and a beam of nine-colored Xuan light shot upward, piercing through the nine heavens and illuminating the entire world!

“Roar…”

Under the power of this Golden Immortal-level force, even the enraged black-flame giant seemed uncertain. Its massive body tensed, assuming a defensive posture.

It was too late to stop it, as in the blink of an eye, the Golden Immortal Scroll was already halfway unfurled.

A terrifying Xuan Gate appeared in the nine heavens, severing the world, and a crushing force brewed within it.

In the remnants of the cosmos, countless rivers of light flowed through a fragmented universe, painting a picture of despair.

“Submit to me!”

The two Golden Immortal treasures were summoned again by Jiang Chengxuan, and under the Nine Marvels Bodhi Lotus Lamp’s influence, the Golden Immortal Scroll was fully unfurled. Then, under his command, it erupted with power!

In an instant, the Golden Immortal-level pressure filled the world, and the broken heavenly light from the Xuan Gate spilled out, covering the sky and obscuring the sun!

At that moment, it seemed as though the world was engulfed by infinite light, with the air heavy with a sense of ruin, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse, as everything perished.

“Mo–!”

This strike was capable of destroying everything. Under its tremendous power, the black-flame giant was forced into a frenzied state, roaring desperately in defiance!

The destructive heavenly light seemed to descend from another domain, pressing down with crushing force. The black-flame giant pushed the primal runes to their limit, and its entire body was engulfed in pitch-black flames, transforming it into a massive black sun.

It burned fiercely upon the earth, nearly melting the surrounding space within a hundred miles, dragging everything into chaos, creating an exceedingly terrifying scene.

“Buzz–! Buzz–!”

At the same time, the black sun hanging above in the nine heavens began to react.

With a series of strange hums, it seemed to resonate with the black sun formed by the black-flame giant!

The two forces clashed, distorting the surrounding void, creating towering waves of fire that rippled throughout the sky. A strange connection between them was established, as if they had fused into one!

Before Jiang Chengxuan could fully comprehend this transformation, the Golden Immortal Scroll’s power had already descended.

The incredible destructive light consumed everything within a hundred miles, enveloping the area in a storm of ruin and destruction!

“Boom–!”

“Boom–!”

The world-shattering force continued for a long time, with thunderclaps echoing like raindrops. The devastation soared through the world, relentlessly crushing every inch of space, every part of the earth.

When the violent power finally subsided, the world was more broken than before. Chaos surged in every direction, and vast voids were left where things had once existed, creating a scene of complete devastation.

Had it not been for the primal runes in this area, the place would have been completely erased, similar to the catastrophic aftermath of a great calamity.

“Whoosh–!”

Jiang Chengxuan retracted the Golden Immortal Scroll, his eyes flashing like lightning as he scanned the void, searching for the black-flame giant’s presence.

Before the full force of the Golden Immortal Scroll had erupted, he sensed a change, unsure of what the outcome would be.

“Such a stubborn creature…”

When Jiang Chengxuan finally spotted the black-flame giant, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow and mutter under his breath.

Amid the terrifying power unleashed by the two Golden Immortal treasures, the black-flame giant had not died. It was still alive.

However, it had shrunk, returning to its previous size of just three zhang tall. Its black flames had completely extinguished, and its body was scorched and covered in wounds. Even its totem had been torn apart and was no more.

“That is…”

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan noticed something unexpected. In the giant’s hollow eyes, he saw a faint glimmer of light–something that hadn’t been there before–like a person awakening from madness.

“Ahh! Roar–!”

But this change didn’t last long. A flash of sorrow passed across its face before it fell back into madness, letting out a beastly roar.

Undoubtedly, its current state was due to certain reasons, not something it was born with. Jiang Chengxuan suspected it had to do with the contamination of the primal runes.

Considering that this race could control the primal runes, they were clearly deeply connected to them. Perhaps it was the corruption of the primal runes that had turned them into these monsters.

However, Jiang Chengxuan had no sympathy to spare for them.

His only goal now was to purify the primal runes.

As for the story behind this race, it would either be left for future generations to investigate or lost in the river of time.

Countless races had perished under great calamities throughout history, and no one could stop it.

For Jiang Chengxuan, what he could do now was to give them a merciful end.

At the very least, they wouldn’t suffer like they had before, imprisoned and turned into puppets of the ominous dark forces.

“I will send you off.”

With his breath finally stabilizing, Jiang Chengxuan muttered solemnly, gripping the Taichu Hongmeng Sword in his hand.
