Chapter 1263: Golden Cicada Demon Immortal, The Battle Begins, Part 1
Editor: Henyee Translations
Because of this, the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal let out a sharp screech, intending to call its powerful insect generals, some of which were true immortal-level beings. If all the insect demons gathered, even with Jiang Chengxuan’s presence, the battle’s outcome would be uncertain.
“Lady, stay on the sidelines,” Jiang Chengxuan finally decided to take action, no longer just observing. At the critical moment, he unleashed his astonishing power, waving his hands to release a vast ocean of spatial energy, resembling a monstrous tidal wave. His speed surpassed that of the screech’s propagation!
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
In an instant, silvery brilliance spread, enveloping the entire area in a mysterious state. Once again, Jiang Chengxuan’s inverted world manifested, dimming the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal’s power and trapping it within the inner world. The piercing screech, just about to spread, abruptly stopped, and silence reigned.
For a moment, the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal’s large eyes narrowed, sensing danger. Among these people, there was someone whose strength matched its own!
“Demon! Let’s see how you escape today!” Immortal Chiling and the others’ spirits lifted. Their previous panic calmed as they continued their assault on the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal with renewed vigor.
“Boom!”
Even the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal couldn’t ignore this. Its body, initially sprawled on the ground, rose to reveal its true form. It was like a golden mountain range rising from the earth, blocking out the sky and reaching the heavens.
Numerous complex runes mixed with demonic energy transformed into dense clouds and tornadoes, shaking the world. Its broad wings unfolded, emitting waves of bizarre Dao principles, as if a black hole was forming, plunging the entire world into darkness.
The endless golden light retracted, forming layers of barriers around the demon immortal.
The attacks from Immortal Tianqing and Immortal Chiling, filled with terrifying power, struck these barriers, causing golden light to surge like tides.
The full power of a peak true immortal was unleashed, shattering space and causing chaotic energy flows to roar through the heavens and earth. Even Jiang Chengxuan had to concentrate fully to maintain the inverted sky curtain, not daring to slack off.

Despite the formidable first wave of attacks, the result was less than satisfactory. The ancient runes and golden light barriers, empowered by the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal’s bloodline, withstood the combined force of four true immortals. Immortal Tianqing’s and Immortal Chiling’s immortal flames scorched the golden barriers, but only melted them slowly.
“Zzz—!”
The next moment, under the astonished gazes of everyone, the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal let out an angry roar. Its wings flapped, launching a counterattack. The tyrannical immortal flames were instantly dispersed by immense power.
The barriers, formed by ancient runes and golden light, twisted violently, expanding like a blazing glass star. The terrifying demonic energy, with a touch of destruction, rushed towards everyone, unavoidable.
Despite their shock, Immortal Chiling and the others reacted swiftly, summoning their protective treasures. Some conjured circular mirrors, others created stone walls, and some called forth crimson barriers, enduring wave after wave of demonic bombardment, gritting their teeth and holding on.
Before Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan also did not dare to be complacent. The power of the Primordial Divine Thunder gathered behind her, forming a wheel of lightning that blasted out violently, directly facing the demonic energy.
The formidable thunder crushed and devoured the golden torrent, opening a void path. Although she was only half a step into the true immortal realm, Shen Ruyan’s displayed might rivaled that of a genuine true immortal.
This scene left Immortal Chiling and the others flabbergasted. It was the first time they had seen Shen Ruyan unleash her power. They hadn’t expected that the seemingly unassuming woman by Jiang Chengxuan’s side hid such strength and potential.
“Miss Shen…”
Especially the female cultivator from Feng Tian Immortal Sect, whose heart was shaken. Although their realms were similar, her power was far inferior to Shen Ruyan’s.
“Do not get distracted! Keep attacking!” Jiang Chengxuan, who had been silent for a while, suddenly commanded, his voice resonating through the battlefield.
This order drew the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal’s large eyes towards him. It knew that the most troublesome opponent was none other than Jiang Chengxuan. Before the others could act, beams of golden light shot from the demon’s burning eyes, piercing through layers of spatial seals and reaching Jiang Chengxuan in an instant.
In that split second, Jiang Chengxuan’s vision was filled with endless golden runes. Even Shen Ruyan was caught off guard, exclaiming in surprise. The situation turned critical; if Jiang Chengxuan’s inverted domain collapsed, the battle would undoubtedly swing in favor of the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal.
Seeing this, even the two elders from the Thick Earth Immortal Sect, despite their discord with Jiang Chengxuan, were terrified, their eyes wide with fear.
“Hmph!”
Yet Jiang Chengxuan remained calm and composed. With a cold snort, his robes fluttered without wind, and the hidden formations activated, instantly deploying defenses capable of withstanding a true immortal’s attack.
Simultaneously, a mystical wheel appeared, radiating nine-colored light and unleashing the power of immortality. This was the might of the Immortal Treasure bestowed by the system, the Eternal Life Wheel.
“Boom!”
In a flash, multiple forces collided, clashing and devouring each other. The violent energy and golden light exploded, shaking the heavens and earth, tearing open massive rifts. But ultimately, this surprise attack could not defeat Jiang Chengxuan. The entire realm remained under the inverted world’s control.
Moreover, the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal’s premature strike created openings, quickly seized by Immortal Tianqing and Immortal Chiling. The five of them launched a storm-like assault, pressing down the demon immortal with their combined might.
The battle, once again turned by Jiang Chengxuan, now saw everyone working together seamlessly. With careful coordination and relentless attacks, they steadily maintained their advantage, putting the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal in a vexed and furious predicament.
Although it was a peak true immortal, Jiang Chengxuan and the others had arrived just as it was trying to break through its bloodline. This made its power unstable, and thus, even against many true immortals, it struggled to hold its ground.
The battle reached a fever pitch, transforming the area into a deep chasm. Residual Dao energy burned the air, leaving scars of void and chaos. After days and nights of relentless fighting, the tide began to turn.
The once majestic Golden Cicada Demon Immortal’s golden light dimmed, and its towering form was forced into the chasm, roaring in fury, fighting a losing battle.
Facing seven true immortals, the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal’s resilience highlighted its formidable strength and terror.
