Chapter 1820: A Turn in Events, the Demon Immortal’s Challenge (Part 1)

As soon as the words of surrender left the mouth of the Demon Immortal of the Desolate Blood Sect, the deep void once again fell into a heavy silence. All eyes turned toward him, catching only the cold indifference on his face and the sharp glint in his eyes.

“Patriarch…”

Seriously wounded, the likes of Ten Thousand Ghost Demon Venerable, Beast-Hiding Demon Venerable, and Mad Blade Demon Venerable could only whisper with deep emotion. As Grand Elders of the Desolate Blood Sect, they knew better than anyone just how proud and unyielding their patriarch was. For soone like him to admit defeat, and in front of so many witnesses, the humiliation must have been unbearable. It wasn’t just personal—it was enough to tarnish the long-standing reputation of the entire Desolate Blood Sect. How could they not feel bitter and ashad?

However, figures like Sword Ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Grand Immortal of the Nether Path were not so focused on the implications for the sect. Instead, they were simply stunned by the fact that the Demon Immortal would act so uncharacteristically. As for his surrender itself—it was completely understandable. After all, the outco of this battle had already been determined.

It was clear to anyone that the combined efforts of Crack Sword Venerable, Ten Thousand Ghost Demon Venerable, and Phantom Venerable had no chance of defeating Jiang Chengxuan. The only reason the Sword Ancestor hadn’t called off the fight was to preserve his sect’s dignity, while Phantom Venerable simply didn’t care enough to intervene.

“Heh… Demon Immortal, you’ve shown great magnanimity. Respected immortals, in that case, I shall consider this victory mine by fortune, and humbly accept your concession.”

Breaking the silence that hung over all directions, Jiang Chengxuan stepped forward and spoke with calm humility, his tone gentle, even polite.

In an instant, the overwhelming celestial pressure he had radiated earlier vanished without a trace. The violent dominance of monts ago lted away, leaving behind a figure of tranquil refinent and grace. This stark contrast made countless immortals narrow their eyes in confusion and amazent. Who was this man truly? How could soone possess such strength and yet be so unfathomably enigmatic?

“Good! Good! Good! Young Jiang, you’ve truly opened this old man’s eyes!”

“Hahaha! Even back in my youth, talents like you could be counted on one hand! You are indeed a fearso genius!”

Unsurprisingly, the first to voice approval was Elder Yunshi. He laughed heartily, repeating “good” three tis in a row. His joy was unreserved, plain for all to hear. For a Golden Immortal of his stature to praise soone so openly—there was no doubt how highly he regarded Jiang Chengxuan.

And yet, no one in the crowd spoke out in opposition. There was no ridicule, no dismissal.

Because after witnessing Jiang Chengxuan subdue three late-stage Profound Immortals single-handedly, even the most skeptical were forced to accept reality. His strength was not just rare—it was unprecedented. Elder Yunshi’s lavish praise was not flattery; it was fully deserved.

“Hmph.”

In contrast to Elder Yunshi’s exuberant praise, others were visibly less pleased. Grand Immortal of the Nether Path and the Demon Immortal both wore looks of dark displeasure, their eyes filled with growing wariness. Even the mbers of the Nether Path Sect and Desolate Blood Sect appeared uneasy.

Seeing soone like Jiang Chengxuan rise to such heights filled them with more turmoil than if their own sects had produced such a genius. After all, both sects were already on poor terms with him—and now he was soone they most feared would rise even further. From their sharp eyes, it was clear they could tell—Jiang Chengxuan had not even revealed his full strength in this battle.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, your celestial might is truly awe-inspiring!”

“Haha! Your unmatched style leaves in absolute admiration!”

As Elder Yunshi broke the ice, Cloud Sky and Cloud Earth quickly followed suit, echoing his praise with booming voices. Without a doubt, Jiang Chengxuan’s performance had far exceeded their expectations. He had not only fulfilled their hopes—he had honored the promise he made to them. In that mont, the two elders were moved to tears, their weathered faces glowing with pride and youthfulness.

In contrast, the expressions of other sect representatives darkened, their faces seemingly aged by the mont—as though Jiang Chengxuan’s brilliance had reflected their own decline.

“Ahem… thank you.”

anwhile, the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect remained reserved. Sword Revered stepped forward and entered the battlefield, retrieving the sealed Crack Sword Venerable. Before leaving, he offered a brief word of thanks.

In response, Jiang Chengxuan returned a respectful gesture and lifted all remaining restrictions from Crack Sword Venerable. As for Ten Thousand Ghost and Phantom Venerables, they dragged their wounded bodies back to stand behind their patriarchs. Jiang Chengxuan made no further move to attack—especially with Golden Immortals present, he wouldn’t gain much by striking now.

“In that case, we of Cloudmist Immortal Sect will gladly record these three points. Hehehe…”

“Young Jiang, your contributions in this battle are truly imnse. Regarding the promised Golden Immortal insights—I will ensure you receive them in full!”

With the strange atmosphere lingering in the deep void, Elder Yunshi once again chuckled warmly.

This battle, after all, had ended with an almost unbelievable victory for Jiang Chengxuan. Which ant, naturally, that Cloudmist Immortal Sect had secured three points, putting them at a commanding lead over the other sects.

Moreover, after these intense rounds of battle, only Jiang Chengxuan and Sword Revered remained with sufficient strength to fight—aside from the four Golden Immortals. Even if Sword Revered could defeat Jiang Chengxuan, he would not be able to surpass him in score.
