Chapter 986: Fierce Battle, One Against Four
Where the Fire Elemental Giant passed, the ground turned into a boiling lake of magma, with volcanic fire surging as fountains of molten lava erupted, scorching the earth.
The Wind Elemental Giant wielded the power of the Wind Dao, surrounded by towering tornadoes, akin to a deity controlling the storms of legend.
The territory traversed by the Water Elemental Giant quickly transformed into a marshy land, a chaotic muddy zone saturated with the powers of the Water Dao, which could stagnate everything.
The Thunder Elemental Giant carried rolling thunderclouds and lightning, darkening the skies and casting the world into alternating light and shadow.
In mere moments, the four Elemental Giants converged on Jiang Chengxuan from four directions, tightly sealing him in and simultaneously pressing down with their terrifying elemental powers.
Flanked by the giants, Jiang Chengxuan seemed like a flickering candle in the wind, his life hanging by a thread.
The Fire Elemental Giant took the lead, its body manifesting an infinite realm of fire. A molten lava fist swept across the void, aimed at Jiang Chengxuan with terrifying force.
Following closely, the Thunder Elemental Giant opened its massive palm, accumulating countless bolts of lightning into a pool, then hurled it forward, transforming into a torrential tide of thunder that covered the sky and pounded toward Jiang Chengxuan.
On one side was the endless domain of fire, and on the other, a sky-obscuring tide of thunder. With both Elemental Giants attacking simultaneously, Jiang Chengxuan found himself in an inescapable peril, caught in a desperate situation.
The Fire and Thunder Elemental Giants, wielding powers and rules at the level of the Dao masters, essentially meant that Jiang Chengxuan was facing the assault of four Dao-level powers alone—a daunting scenario considering he had only entered the realm of the Dao a few hundred years ago.
The disparity in strength on paper had reached a terrifying extent, making this trial seem more like an execution than a test.
Only in an immortal cave abode would one find such daunting challenges.
Despite Jiang Chengxuan’s vast experience, this was his first time facing four enemies at Dao Mastery simultaneously. In this moment, his state of being was honed to its peak.
As the fiery fist of the Fire Elemental Giant bore down, Jiang Chengxuan instantly manifested the power of the Samsara Dao. A colossal hand, twisting through the void and imbued with the endless power of Samsara, appeared out of nowhere, striking back with a palm.
The collision in the void between the fist and the palm was explosive, the terrifying clash of forces immediately triggering an explosion. The Samsara Dao erupted instantly, containing the expanding celestial fire within its cycles, firmly locking it within the wheel of Samsara.
Under the suppression of the Hand of Samsara, the Fire Elemental Giant, as if its lifeline had been grasped, was immobilized.
But at that moment, the rolling tide of thunder was already roaring beside Jiang Chengxuan’s ear.
Countless bolts of lightning, each several yards thick and radiating intense heat and blinding light, carried a destructive aura and struck towards Jiang Chengxuan’s back.
If this attack were to connect, at the very least, it would result in severe burns and possibly a charred body, not to mention the hidden attacks on the Primordial Spirit contained within the thunder.
At this critical moment, a burst of five-colored light suddenly erupted behind Jiang Chengxuan. The Five Elements Annihilation Light, flowing out like a torrent from his back, intertwined and formed a barrier of the Five Elements.
This barrier, once manifested, collided fiercely with the tide of thunder unleashed by the Thunder Elemental Giant. The elements cycled through creation and destruction, the forces of the rules indestructible, blocking all the thunder.
Massive bolts struck the barrier, rebounding upon impact, then continuously bombarded it, colliding fiercely with the reflected thunderous forces.
In an instant, countless explosions occurred between the barrier and the thunder tide, the destructive forces resonating through the void, causing the entire vast platform to tremble intensely.
These two clashes, although complex and terrifying, actually occurred in just a few breaths.
From the initial assault of the two Dao-level Elemental Giants to Jiang Chengxuan’s counterattacks, everything unfolded in the blink of an eye.
Rumble!
Both Elemental Giants were forced back by the aftermath of the exchange, while Jiang Chengxuan took a deep breath and spread his hands wide, once again expanding the Five Elements Samsara World.
Because in the next moment, the Water and Wind Elemental Giants simultaneously unleashed their attacks.
The Wind Elemental Giant swept its hands across the void, and instantly, endless gales arose, blowing it high into the air, then it transformed into a colossal tornado that spiraled down towards Jiang Chengxuan from above.
Simultaneously, the Water Elemental Giant clapped its hands onto the ground, and the force of the Water Dao immediately infiltrated the ancient platform. Jiang Chengxuan felt a flash of blue light underfoot, followed by a sticky, obstructive force suddenly adhering to him.
Furthermore, blades made of water, sharp enough to cut through metal and stone, shot out from the Water Elemental Giant, slicing through the void and creating a long rift as they headed straight for Jiang Chengxuan.
In an instant, the two Elemental Giants coordinated their attacks, crafting a lethal trap for Jiang Chengxuan. From above and below, from front and back, the four directions were sealed off by their simultaneous onslaught.
These four Elemental Giants not only possessed Dao Mastery level power and rules but also demonstrated combat instincts to match, making them incredibly formidable and nearly insurmountable opponents.
Such ancient powers could only create such magical yet terrifying beings.
At this moment, however, Jiang Chengxuan had no time to ponder further. As he maximized the expansion of the Five Elements Samsara World to its limits, the frontal assault from the Water Elemental Giant’s giant water blade crashed down, triggering a terrifying explosion.
Following closely, the massive tornado from above, carrying furious energy, turned the surrounding area into a vacuum, bearing down with overwhelming force.
This attack, due to the obstruction from the Water Elemental Giant, was something Jiang Chengxuan had to face head-on. He roared in defiance, summoning the Five Elements Universe Diagram, from which brilliant five-colored light surged forth. The golden Golden Void Sword appeared in his hands, and with a sweeping motion, he slashed out.
A beam of light that surpassed all others filled the area, making even thunder and celestial fire pale in comparison. The Golden Void Sword manifested infinite sharpness, the power of the Metal Dao pushed to its extreme, clashing fiercely with the similarly sharp and cutting Wind Dao.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A grating noise filled the area as two sharp wills battled relentlessly in the void!
