Chapter 1369: The True Power of the Calamity Weapon, Slaying Azure Peak_2
In his injured state, Azure Peak Immortal’s desire for power had reached its zenith.
“You!”
In an instant, without giving any of the other factions’ Immortals a chance to speak, Azure Peak’s eyes turned icy, and he struck!
With a sweep of his hand, black winds roared from his domain, sweeping toward the various factions. These winds carried a sinister, destructive aura, eerily similar to the power of the calamity energy.
The White Dragon Immortal Sect was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. In panic, they quickly formed a sword formation, summoning white heavenly light to counter the oncoming force. But how could their power compare to that of an Earth Immortal?
The moment the two forces clashed, the sword formation was obliterated like brittle wood in a storm. The black wind surged forward without resistance, crashing down upon the three-headed white dragon.
“Roar—!”
In an instant, the white dragon let out a howl of agony. Its once-bright scales dulled, turning brittle and decayed, as if its very life force was being drained by some unseen force.
“Damn it! What is this cursed thing?”
Even the White Dragon Immortal Sect’s cultivators were not spared, as the black wind seeped into their bodies. Their strength was rapidly being siphoned away, and their cultivation levels began to plummet at an alarming rate. To a cultivator, this was a fate worse than death—an absolute nightmare.
“No! You can’t do this!”
“Evil cultivator! You’re an evil cultivator!”
In the sky, black winds rampaged unchecked, and cultivators from every faction cried out in despair. They unleashed all their power, battling against the storm, but to no avail.
“Ha ha ha…”
Azure Peak Immortal sneered, his expression manic with satisfaction. He felt an intoxicating pleasure as the calamity weapon’s power in his domain slowly restored itself. Unbeknownst to him, however, the calamity weapon had already merged with his domain, becoming inseparable from it. Even if he wanted to remove it, it was far too late.
“Once I drain these fools dry, I’ll use the calamity weapon to kill that old wretch Tiansui and claim the treasure. Then, the entire Immortal Realm will bow before me!”
Drunk on his growing power, Azure Peak Immortal muttered to himself in ecstasy. Never before in his cultivation had he felt such euphoria. It was as if the entire world was his for the taking.
“You’re ugly enough, but your dreams are even worse.”
Just as Azure Peak Immortal felt he had ascended to the heavens, a mocking voice rang out from the void.
The taunt was like a slap across his face, shattering his bliss. Instantly, he was filled with rage and embarrassment.
“Who dares! I’ll skin you alive and turn you into a puppet!”
Furious, Azure Peak Immortal’s eyes burned red as he glared toward the source of the voice. But as soon as he saw who had spoken, he froze, utterly dumbstruck. His eyes shifted from shock to terror and then to anger.
“Dreaming of victory already? Isn’t it a little early?” The voice, calm and cold, echoed again, continuing to mock him.
The figure raised a hand, and an overwhelming wave of primal water and fire surged forth, engulfing the battlefield. In an instant, the black wind that had been tormenting countless cultivators was swallowed and incinerated, vanishing without a trace.
“Huff! Huff!”
The surviving cultivators emerged from the chaos, battered but alive. They were dazed, their faces filled with a mixture of disbelief and joy.
“It’s him! It’s Immortal Jiang! He’s not dead!”
Finally, the identity of the figure was revealed—none other than Jiang Chengxuan!
Hovering in the sky, Jiang stood tall and unscathed, contrary to what everyone had assumed. He hadn’t perished; in fact, he hadn’t even been harmed!
“Impossible! The power of the calamity energy! How could you have survived it?”
Azure Peak Immortal’s composure crumbled as he screamed in disbelief. He couldn’t accept this reality. The power of the calamity weapon was something even he feared, and yet, his sneak attack had completely failed. Jiang Chengxuan remained untouched.
“A calamity weapon? Pathetic. That’s just an imitation,” Jiang replied coldly. “Have you ever seen the power of a true calamity weapon?”
His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and as he reached into the void, black mist and red lightning surged forth. A black and red storm suddenly materialized, bringing with it a terrifying aura of destruction that left everyone momentarily stunned.
Compared to this force, the earlier black wind was as insignificant as a flickering candle beside the blazing sun.
“Buzz—!”
With a deafening hum, a pitch-black long blade appeared in Jiang’s hand. The blade radiated an aura of annihilation, surrounded by a veil of black mist, as if it were a manifestation of a bottomless abyss.
In the critical moment of Azure Peak’s sneak attack, Jiang had summoned the true calamity weapon granted by his system—an incomparable treasure that absorbed the power of calamity without draining life force or blood. The weapon’s destructive potential far surpassed that of Azure Peak’s imitation.
The difference between the two weapons was like night and day. The power Azure Peak had unleashed wasn’t even enough to satisfy Jiang’s weapon.
“Impossible! Impossible! How can you have one too?!”
Azure Peak Immortal’s mind fractured as he shouted in despair. Jiang’s calamity weapon radiated a power far greater than his own. How could such a thing exist?
“It must be fake! You bastard!”
Driven to madness, Azure Peak Immortal channeled every ounce of his strength into one last desperate assault. His domain trembled, and the mountains within turned black as calamity energy erupted from them, as if a calamity itself had begun within his domain.
The power he unleashed now was even more terrifying than before, amplified by the energy he had stolen from the surrounding cultivators.
“Perfect. Let’s test this weapon properly…” Jiang remained calm, his heart as steady as ever. With the black blade in hand, he stood like an unshakable pine tree in the midst of a storm.
As the blackened figure of Azure Peak hurtled toward him like a collapsing star, Jiang finally made his move. With one clean, decisive stroke, he slashed his blade.
“Buzz—!”
The blade’s arc tore through the void, opening a vertical black hole that seemed to lead into an even deeper abyss. It swallowed the black star that was Azure Peak whole. Wave after wave of calamity energy was drawn into the void, and in the blink of an eye, Azure Peak’s massive star was reduced in size, its strength rapidly draining.
Gradually, Azure Peak Immortal’s terrified face emerged from the collapsing mass. The black mist that had once surrounded him dissipated, revealing his now frail and weakened form. His domain, once brimming with power, was on the verge of collapse, split by cracks that ran deep through it.
“So, this is the truth…” Jiang’s eyes narrowed as he peered into the core of Azure Peak’s domain, where he saw the calamity weapon embedded.
In an instant, the entire mystery became clear to Jiang. He understood the nature of the calamity’s schemes.
“Crack!”
In the next moment, the calamity weapon embedded in Azure Peak’s domain shattered. Azure Peak’s body convulsed, and in that instant, his soul was utterly annihilated.
