FOLLOWING A HUNDRED YEARS OF CULTIVATION, I'M DYING BEFORE I GOT CHEATS

Chapter 1270: Earth Immortal Insect Demon, Re-entering the Insect Valley (Part 1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, standing on the battlefield ruins of the Immortal Insect Valley, Jiang Chengxuan held the Taichu Water-Fire Sword, his posture erect, and his robes fluttering without wind. Under the backdrop of the crimson and azure sky, he seemed like an otherworldly being.

Standing atop the charred corpse of the Demon Spider Immortal, he exuded an aura that deterred the countless insect demons, who dared not advance, fearing instant annihilation by his hand.

“Husband!”

Crossing through the smoldering ruins, Shen Ruyan was the first to reach Jiang Chengxuan’s side, calling out to him. Seeing him safe and sound, her final worries were finally put to rest. Although she had utmost confidence in him, the gravity of the situation had inevitably caused her some anxiety.

“I’m fine,” Jiang Chengxuan replied, gradually retracting his aura, and turned to Shen Ruyan with a gentle smile, as if slaying the Demon Spider Immortal was a trivial matter.

This scene caused the arriving Red Ridge Immortal and others to pause, their minds still reeling from shock. They did not immediately address Jiang Chengxuan but first looked at the ground beneath them.

…

There lay the charred corpse of the Demon Spider Immortal, resembling a twisted, towering tree incinerated by a great fire. Even from the remaining aura, they could still sense its terrifying power from when it was alive.

A half-step Earth Immortal-level being had truly perished, its soul utterly extinguished. Even though they had witnessed the entire process, it was still hard to believe.

In the Xuanming Immortal Domain, such a being could lead a significant mid-to-upper-tier faction, holding a high and rare status. Yet, this existence was slain by Jiang Chengxuan with apparent ease, an act simply beyond comprehension.

“Daoist Jiang…”

With this realization, Red Ridge Immortal and the others approached Jiang Chengxuan, their expressions somewhat reserved, and respectfully bowed to him.

Jiang Chengxuan turned his gaze toward them, showing no extra emotion, and calmly nodded, saying, “Let’s go. There are Earth Immortal-level insect demons in the Insect Valley that might be drawn here.”

This statement startled Red Ridge Immortal and the others, causing their hearts to tighten. They had researched the legends of the Insect Valley beforehand and knew it was said to house Earth Immortal-level beings.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan was gradually sensing a hint of danger in the air. Undoubtedly, this meant that the Earth Immortal-level insect demons had noticed the disturbance.

“Alright! Let’s move!” Without hesitation, everyone erupted with immortal power, transforming into streaks of light and soaring away. This time, despite the restless and roaring insect demon army, they dared not pursue.

Why? Because the corpse of the Demon Spider Immortal lay before them, an invisible deterrent that shook their very instincts. Throughout the journey, Jiang Chengxuan and his companions remained on high alert, releasing overwhelming auras and immense pressure to kill any insect demons in their path.

Finally, they traversed the last stretch of the valley and arrived at the narrowing terrain, where familiar greenery and wilderness unfolded. The female cultivator from Feng Tian Immortal Sect exclaimed with joy, “We’re out!” Her pretty face beamed with excitement as she shouted.

Seeing the entrance to the Insect Valley they had entered through, everyone’s faces lit up with joy, their eyes sparkling. The perils they had faced seemed to be ending at last.

This expedition had turned out to be far more dangerous than they had initially anticipated. If it weren’t for the unexpected presence of Jiang Chengxuan, the outcome would have been total annihilation. Even with Jiang Chengxuan, a true immortal had perished.

Just as everyone was rejoicing, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly felt a ripple of unease in his heart and turned sharply to look back.

“Boom!”

The sky resounded with a deafening roar. An unseen force traversed thousands of miles of void, hurtling towards them at lightning speed. Its terrifying power distorted the sky behind them, shattering the void, and causing the entire Insect Valley to tremble.

“What is that?!”

“Hiss—!”

Red Ridge Immortal and the others reacted, gasping in shock. The scene seemed like a fantasy, sudden and without warning. But the ominous premonition of death told them that this exaggerated phenomenon was all too real.

An Earth Immortal-level insect demon had made its move! Realizing this, everyone’s earlier joy vanished, replaced by a chilling dread.

Yet, the overwhelming power continued unabated, arriving in an instant. The cliffs around them shattered and disintegrated into countless fragments.

In this critical moment, only Jiang Chengxuan reacted, his eyes narrowing as his immortal power erupted. Manifesting the Five Elements Dao, Life and Death Dao, and Reincarnation Dao, he forcefully severed the spiritual pressure of the terrifying attack.

Amidst the dazzling Taichu light, Jiang Chengxuan raised his right hand, summoning the Taichu Water-Fire Sword once more. Instantly, the powers of Taichu water and fire displayed their overwhelming might.
