Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1839 - 1388: Observation_2

The reason she had stopped was simple: a collision between Heavenly Immortals was unfolding just a short distance away!

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 escape collateral damage.

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 decided to gamble and stay. She hoped to gain a spark of enlightenment that would allow her to take that final, monumental step!

The two combatants had sensed her presence long ago. Yet, because their powers were so evenly matched, neither dared to lose focus for even a second, leading them to simply disregard Jiang Fengwu.

To them, she was nothing more than an ant, incapable of swaying the fight's results.

“Surrender the Five Virtues Phoenix Blood Fruit, and I shall grant you mercy!” the Heavenly Immortal cultivator commanded with a freezing tone.

The member of the Devil Race sneered in response: “Hmph! If you possess the capability, come and take it. Cease this pointless chatter.”

The Five Virtues Phoenix Blood Fruit is a legendary Heavenly Immortal rank Spiritual Object. It is reputed to significantly fortify the consumer's Spiritual Soul and Dao Heart.

For any creature with Phoenix ancestry, it is the ultimate prize, as eating it can refine one's foundation and trigger a bloodline evolution.

This particular Devil Race entity was a Bird Demon of the Phoenix line—a White-headed Phoenix-tailed Crane!

Refining the Five Virtues Phoenix Blood Fruit would not only evolve his lineage but also skyrocket his cultivation; thus, he would never willingly part with such a treasure!

“You refuse? Then perish!”

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

Woo woo—

The immense weight and staggering velocity crushed the air beneath it, producing a sound like a mournful wail.

Though the White Crane attempted to evade, he found the space around him restricted, trapping him within the impact zone.

Left with no alternative, he prepared to meet the strike head-on.

Freezing mana erupted from his frame. Suddenly, a northern gale whipped through the stagnant air, forming countless blades of ice that hammered relentlessly against the descending seal.

However, this counterattack proved insufficient to halt the mountain's descent, and the threat of being crushed grew imminent.

“Condense!”

The White Crane shifted his technique abruptly. A howling blizzard carrying massive amounts of frost caused the giant seal’s fall to slow to a crawl!

In an instant, a layer of rime had coated the seal, thickening into solid ice that masked its form and turned it into a jagged, massive frozen sphere.

The human cultivator scowled, caught off guard by his opponent’s clever method of neutralizing the crisis. But how long could such a stall last?

Crack crack—

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

The White Crane never expected his Divine Power to fully stop the killing move; his actual intent was to shatter the spatial restriction so he could fly clear of the seal’s path!

He was intimately aware of his own strengths, knowing that his path to victory lay in his superior speed and grace.

Once he was free, the true battle began!

The White Crane beat his wings, summoning a piercing north wind that seemed intent on turning the entire region into a frozen wasteland.

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

“This is troublesome!”

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

But the cold had already snuck into his system, affecting not just his mana but his very Spiritual Soul!

Whoosh—

Seeing his hidden trap revealed, the White Crane stopped holding back. With a mere thought, thousands of ice needles launched forward like a torrential downpour.

The cultivator reacted by chanting a spell, summoning flaming meteors from the sky to intercept the needles, melting many of them with searing heat.

Yet the broken ice did not vanish. Instead, it reformed into even smaller, more numerous needles that swarmed him from all sides.

As the situation turned critical, the cultivator’s Defensive Treasure radiated a brilliant flame, incinerating the incoming ice.

However, in this frozen domain, the constant howling wind suppressed the cultivator’s Fire Attribute Divine Ability, causing his flames to flicker and dim.

“No! I cannot continue like this!”

The Heavenly Immortal understood that the environment was becoming increasingly hostile. Staying much longer might actually lead to his defeat.

He would fail to obtain the Five Virtues Phoenix Blood Fruit and likely sustain heavy wounds.

“Give me your Storage Magical Treasure, and I shall let you live!” the White Crane’s voice echoed through the snow, his exact location hidden by the storm.

Based on their clash, it was evident that neither truly wanted a fight to the death.

This was a common understanding among those at the Heavenly Immortal rank.

After all, they had survived countless trials to reach this level and possessed nearly eternal lifespans. Who would throw that away for a grudge?

Furthermore, since they were so close in power, a decisive victory could take forever, let alone a killing blow.

There was also the risk that the commotion would draw in other predatory Heavenly Immortals, making the situation dangerous for both of them.

Despite being at a disadvantage, the human cultivator felt insulted by the White Crane’s arrogant demand and refused to flee in shame.

The circle of Heavenly Immortals was quite small; if word spread that he had been extorted, he would never be able to hold his head high again!

He refused to let such a humiliation happen!

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

As the minutes passed, both combatants found their mana reserves draining rapidly, yet no end was in sight.

“Someone is approaching!”

Jiang Fengwu, who had been watching the spectacle with rapt attention, suddenly glanced at the sky. A streak of Spirit Light flew over her and dived straight into the fray.

Another Heavenly Immortal had arrived!

With this new arrival, the White Crane’s advantage vanished instantly. He was no match for two opponents of the same rank!

“The fight is ending soon.”

Jiang Fengwu felt a pang of disappointment. She wished the newcomer had delayed his arrival so she could have studied the high-level combat for a bit longer.

Moreover, this new Heavenly Immortal seemed remarkably straightforward, joining the fight immediately rather than lurking to scavenge the remains.

“Hmph! Doubling up on me is cowardly!” the White Crane cried out, his composure breaking.

“You are a foul creature of the Devil Race, and the world is better off without you!”

The response was followed by a terrifyingly sharp Sword Light.

“Curse you!”

The White Crane swore under his breath, not expecting the second opponent to be a lethal Sword Cultivator!

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

Before long, his situation became truly dire, and he realized that staying meant certain death!

“Witness my ultimate technique; let us 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 cultivators.

“Ice Soul Divine Light?”

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