Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1839 - 1388: Observation_2

The reason she had frozen in place was the spectacle occurring just ahead: a clash between Heavenly Immortals was unfolding!

The combatants locked in this struggle were a human cultivator and a powerful Devil Beast.

It appeared they had stumbled upon some invaluable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, sparking a violent conflict over these rare Spiritual Objects.

Under normal circumstances, one should retreat immediately from such a scene to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

However, Jiang Fengwu had been searching for a chance to break through to the Heavenly Immortal rank for a long time. Seeing such a high-level battle was a rare opportunity, so she risked staying. She hoped to glean some profound insights that might help her take that final, vital step!

The two combatants had already sensed her presence. Yet, because their powers were so evenly matched, neither could afford to look away from the other, leading them to simply disregard Jiang Fengwu.

In their eyes, she was nothing more than an ant, incapable of influencing the fight's result.

"Surrender the Five Virtues Phoenix Blood Fruit, and your life will be spared!" the Heavenly Immortal cultivator commanded with a freezing tone.

The member of the Devil Race sneered in response: "Hmph! If you have the ability, come and take it. Stop wasting your breath on useless chatter."

The Five Virtues Phoenix Blood Fruit is a legendary Heavenly Immortal rank Spiritual Object of immense value, reputed to fortify the consumer’s Spiritual Soul and Dao Heart.

For creatures of the Phoenix bloodline, it is an unparalleled treasure, as eating it can refine their foundation and trigger bloodline evolution.

This particular Devil Race member was a Bird Demon descended from the Phoenix line—a White-headed Phoenix-tailed Crane!

By refining the Five Virtues Phoenix Blood Fruit, he could evolve his lineage and skyrocket his power; therefore, he would never give up such a prize!

"You refuse? Then die!"

As soon as the cultivator spoke, he unleashed a small seal. The artifact flew into the heavens, expanding with the wind until it became a massive mountain that plummeted toward the White Crane.

Woo woo—

The immense weight and staggering velocity crushed the air itself, producing a mournful, whistling sound.

The White Crane attempted to bank away, but found the space around it sealed, leaving it trapped within the impact zone.

With no path for retreat, it had to meet the attack head-on.

Frigid mana erupted from its body, and a sudden northern gale whipped through the locked space. Thousands of ice blades materialized, raining down upon the massive seal.

However, this counterattack proved insufficient to halt the crushing weight of the mountain, and the threat drew closer by the second.

"Condense!"

The White Crane’s technique shifted violently. A howling north wind, laden with thick ice and snow, surged forth, causing the descent of the giant seal to lag significantly!

Frost began to coat the seal, rapidly thickening into a layer of solid ice that masked its shape, transforming it into a gargantuan, jagged ball of ice.

The human cultivator frowned. He had not expected his foe to neutralize the crisis in such a creative way. But how much time could such a delay actually buy?

Crack crack—

Indeed, it wasn't long before the ice began to fracture, and massive shards started falling away.

The White Crane never intended for his Divine Power to fully stop the killing move; his actual goal was to shatter the spatial restriction binding him so he could dodge the seal!

He knew his own strengths well, understanding that his path to victory lay in his superior speed and agility.

Now that he was free, his true counteroffensive began!

The White Crane beat its wings, and a razor-sharp north wind shrieked, threatening to turn the entire region into a frozen wasteland.

The bone-chilling cold was intense enough to make even the Heavenly Immortal cultivator shiver, feeling the very flow of his mana begin to stagnate.

"This is bad!"

Realizing the danger, the cultivator quickly activated a Defensive Treasure to block the encroaching frost.

But the cold had already crept into his system unnoticed, chilling not just his mana but his Spiritual Soul as well!

Whoosh—

Seeing his hidden trap had been felt, the White Crane stopped holding back. With a single thought, he unleashed a storm of thousands of ice spikes.

The cultivator reacted by chanting a spell, summoning flaming meteors from the sky. They crashed into the ice spikes, shattering them and turning much of the ice into steam with their heat.

But the broken crystals didn't vanish. Instead, they reformed into even smaller, more numerous ice needles that swarmed him from all sides.

As the situation turned critical, the cultivator's Defensive Treasure erupted with brilliant flames, quickly melting the incoming needles.

However, in this realm of absolute zero, the relentless north wind suppressed his Fire Attribute Divine Ability, causing his flames to flicker and dim.

"No! I cannot continue like this!"

The Heavenly Immortal understood that the shifting environment was becoming a death trap. Staying much longer would surely lead to his defeat.

He would lose the Five Virtues Phoenix Blood Fruit and likely sustain heavy injuries.

"Hand over your Storage Magical Treasure, and I shall permit you to leave!" the White Crane’s voice echoed through the blizzard, his exact position masked by the storm.

It was clear from their exchange that neither truly wanted a fight to the death.

Such pragmatism was standard among those at the Heavenly Immortal rank.

They had all endured grueling Cultivation to reach this height and possessed vast lifespans. Why throw it all away on a reckless gamble?

Furthermore, given their similar power levels, a battle could last an eternity before a winner was decided, let alone a killing blow dealt.

There was also the risk that the commotion would draw in other opportunistic Heavenly Immortals, which would be disastrous for both of them.

Despite being at a disadvantage and facing the White Crane’s arrogant demands, the Heavenly Immortal was loath to simply run away.

The circle of Heavenly Immortals was tiny; if he fled in disgrace, he would never be able to show his face among his peers again!

He refused to let his reputation be tarnished in such a way!

The White Crane maintained his momentum, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks, giving the human cultivator no room to breathe.

As the fight dragged on, both sides saw their mana reserves draining rapidly, yet a stalemate remained.

"Someone else is approaching!"

Jiang Fengwu, who had been watching intently, suddenly glanced at the sky. She saw a streak of Spirit Light fly overhead and dive straight into the fray.

Another Heavenly Immortal cultivator had arrived!

With this new arrival, the White Crane, who had held the advantage, suddenly found the tables turned. He was no match for two Heavenly Immortals at once!

"The fight will end soon."

Jiang Fengwu felt a bit disappointed. She wished the newcomer had arrived later so she could have observed the duel for longer.

This new Heavenly Immortal seemed remarkably straightforward, joining the battle immediately rather than hiding to wait for the survivors to weaken.

"Hmph! Ganging up on me? How shameless!" the White Crane cried out, his composure finally breaking.

"You are a filth of the Devil Race; any righteous person should strike you down!"

The response was not just words, but a piercing streak of Sword Light.

"Dammit!"

The White Crane cursed. He hadn't expected the newcomer to be a lethal Sword Cultivator!

Under the combined pressure of two Heavenly Immortals, he was forced into a desperate defense.

As his situation grew more dire, the White Crane realized that staying meant certain death!

"Behold my ultimate move! See if you can survive this!"

An eerie blue Spirit Light shot from the White Crane’s beak, splitting into several beams that targeted the vitals of both opponents.

"Ice Soul Divine Light?"

The two cultivators recognized the famous Divine Power instantly, their faces turning grim with caution.
