Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 990: Terrifying Carnage, Observing Changes
Editor: Henyee Translations

Wave after wave of powerful fluctuations erupted, causing a relentless storm to surge through the void.

In such a situation, Jiang Chengxuan acknowledged his limitations and maintained a distance, utilizing the aura of Heavenly Fate Deduction to conceal himself as he observed from the shadows, hundreds of miles away.

Although termed as ‘hundreds of miles,’ this proximity was already daringly close.

The combatants were two mighty beasts with the strength of Mahayana Daolords. Even without employing their divine powers, the residual effects of their battle could typically affect areas hundreds of miles wide.

An ordinary cultivator, without any means of concealment, would likely have been affected by the fallout and subsequently discovered—a consequence that did not bear thinking about.

It was only by leveraging the almost cheating ability of Heavenly Fate Deduction that Jiang Chengxuan could safely observe the battle from this distance.

“This doesn’t seem like a trial but rather, a clash with native beasts of this immortal cave abode,” Jiang Chengxuan muttered to himself as he analyzed the terrifying scene before him.

He had not encountered any ancient runes along the way, nor was he restricted from leaving after arriving here.

This confirmed that he was in a regular area of the immortal cave abode and not in some trial zone.

He could leave whenever he wished, a realization that somewhat eased his mind.

However, the reason behind the fierce battle between these two formidable beasts, turning the sky dark and the earth dim, piqued Jiang Chengxuan’s curiosity.

In the absence of immediate danger, he preferred to continue observing. Perhaps, he could benefit from their conflict as the proverbial fisherman who reaps the rewards of a fight between two others.

Logically, beasts capable of reaching the ninth level and achieving Mahayana Daolord strength, monstrous in their own right, possessed high intelligence and were no less sentient than human cultivators.

Such beings wouldn’t engage in such a battle without a significant reason, nor was this a territory dispute as two tigers cannot share one mountain.

What, then, could have drawn two ninth-level beasts to this location to fight so ferociously? This was a question worth pondering.

Jiang Chengxuan was convinced there was more to this situation than met the eye. Perhaps, a great opportunity lay hidden here, enticing these two powerhouses to battle fiercely.

The forces unleashed in the battlefield were already beyond the realm of ordinary cultivators, reaching the levels of Mahayana.

Such power was not merely for intimidation or testing; both adversaries were fighting with full force, aiming to either drive off or slay the other.

And the more intense the battle became, the more Jiang Chengxuan’s heart raced.

He focused intently on the battlefield, observing every technique and strategy employed by the two ninth-level beasts. Every piece of information gathered now could later aid in his quest for treasures.

Though ninth-level beasts were not immortal, Jiang Chengxuan believed that with the right opportunity, even these formidable creatures could be vanquished.

He had more than one ace up his sleeve that reached the Mahayana realm, and he had previously faced such threats, albeit with the help of Qin Shenwu’s talismans to drive the adversaries away.

Even his Shifu, Qin Shenwu, had defeated a Mahayana Daolord from the Qiankun Hall on the very day he achieved Mahayana.

To other cultivators, Mahayana Daolords might seem invincible, but in Jiang Chengxuan’s experience, they were merely higher-level cultivators who could also face defeat.

This perspective set those born in powerful sects apart from ordinary cultivators, giving them a broader vision and, consequently, more opportunities.

Now, Jiang Chengxuan was seizing such an opportunity. Even though he was merely at the Dao Mastery, he was audaciously planning how to capitalize on the battle between two Mahayana Daolords.

To any other cultivator, such a notion would seem ludicrous, akin to seeking death. But for Jiang Chengxuan, it represented an unmissable chance.

He had the capability and the experience to strategize against two Mahayana Daolord-level enemies here.

At this moment, as the two colossal beasts battled to their peak capacities in the void, their clash was an incredible spectacle to behold.

One of the ninth-level beasts, resembling a fusion between a deer and a tiger, stood on all fours, its body bristling with enormous spikes that glinted with a mesmerizing light. With every movement, spikes as large as mountains thrust forward from the void, targeting its adversary with silent and deadly precision.

These spikes, infused with the power of Mahayana Dao principles, were invisible and lethal, embodying the essence of void or spatial laws, which manipulated unseen, fatal forces.

Emerging from the formless void, these spikes clashed with the opponent’s attacks, creating terrifying fluctuations of Dao principles that could ripple across thousands of miles. This was the very force that had drawn Jiang Chengxuan to this location.

Opposite this spike-covered beast was another ninth-level creature, dragon-like in appearance with wings that could blot out the sun. With every beat of its wings, laws surged forth, causing even the void itself to tremble as if on the brink of collapse.

Its prowess lay in manipulating energies akin to cosmic winds or vibrational forces. Under the constant oscillations of its wings, the otherwise lethal spikes could not even approach its vicinity.

Both ninth-level beasts exhibited extraordinary power. As they conjured Dao rules around them, numerous minor worlds manifested and perished in the void.

ROAR!

Their movements were rapid and elusive, despite their vast sizes comparable to celestial bodies. Each dodge was as swift as a flash of light.

One beast excelled in the manipulation of void powers, while the other harnessed the energy of vibrations. The techniques displayed by both were so astounding that even Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but marvel at their prowess.

Their battle caused continuous tremors in the void, akin to a harbinger of apocalypse for this world. At the peak of their fierce combat, the two massive creatures collided with a thunderous impact.

A sweeping tail strike tore through the void, leaving a chasm-like trail in its wake. Chaos energies erupted from this breach, culminating in a colossal explosion that sent tidal waves of force sweeping across everything in its path.

Jiang Chengxuan watched with growing alarm as the spectacle unfolded.
