Chapter 1443: The Star Demon Elder (Part 2) Chapter 1443: The Star Demon Elder (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations In the chaos of battle, Shen Ruyanâs summoned thunder giants wreaked havoc, tearing through mountains and cleaving stars as they pushed forward toward the center of the Starry Universe Myriad Rays Formation, leaving a path of destruction in their wake.
âStrike with all your power!
Do not back down!â the elders of the Starry Celestial Sect shouted, their eyes wide with desperation.
Hearing this, the disciples of the Starry Celestial Sect, though terrified, regained a measure of composure, pouring their celestial energy into the mirrors in their hands until the mirrors glowed red-hot, nearly burning them.
But no one dared to let go, focusing instead on directing the celestial rays at the formidable adversaries.
âAaah!â came the cries, but even with all their might, the Universe Myriad Rays Formation couldnât withstand the onslaught of Shen Ruyanâs thunder army.
The fractures in the formation widened as the entire setup began to destabilize.
In that moment, Shen Ruyanâs sharp instincts noticed a vulnerability in the formation.
In a flash, she sped forward, leaving a trail of flame and lightning.
âBoom!â The vast formation collapsed, its energy rippling outward like a tidal wave, swallowing everything in its path.
Countless Starry Celestial Sect disciples suffered the recoil of the spellâs collapse, coughing up blood as they plummeted from the sky.
Meanwhile, the arrayâs engravings shattered, the cosmic mirage flickering and dimming before bursting into stardust with a resounding âpop.â âWithdraw!â With her victory secured, Shen Ruyan didnât press the attack.
Instead, she calmly withdrew her thunder giants, watching indifferently as the terrified Starry Celestial Sect disciples fled.
Returning to Jiang Chengxuanâs side, she spoke with him as if nothing had happened.
The retreating elders, panting and exhausted, dared only to stop a hundred miles away.
âWhoââŹÂŚ who are they?
And what do they want?â they murmured to each other, still shaken.
If that woman possessed such terrifying power, then the man beside herââŹâhow much stronger was he?
Two unknown powerhouses had appeared at the Starry Celestial Sectâs doorstep, and no one understood their motives.
They could only wait for their ancestor to arrive before making another move.
Just then, a familiar voice resounded in the minds of three elders.
âElder Xinghuan!
Elder Xingchen!
Elder Xingzhen!â Hearing the voice, the elders brightened, scanning their surroundings.
In the distance, they saw their fellow elder returning with an older man walking alongside himââŹâa man with white hair, a youthful face, and a presence that commanded respect.
It was none other than their long-awaited savior, Star Demon Elder, one of the sectâs most powerful celestial beings.
âAncestor!
Youâre finally here!â The elders fell to their knees, bowing in relief.
Star Demon Elder, sensing the chaotic energy lingering in the area, furrowed his brow and asked, âWhat happened here?â In the distance, he felt two distinct presences gazing at him.
When his disciples explained the events, Star Demon Elderâs face grew serious.
He moved to the front of the group, standing in mid-air, scanning the silver curtain of spatial energy.
Beneath this cosmic silver dome stood two figuresââŹâone powerful, the other slightly weakerââŹâboth calm and composed.
If what his disciples said was true and there were indeed two celestial beings here, then he couldnât resolve this matter alone.
âCome with me, all of you,â he said, gesturing to his elders.
Displaying his mastery of celestial arts, Star Demon Elder moved instantly, transporting the group back to the battlefield.
The space rippled as he and his disciples appeared in a burst of celestial energy, catching the attention of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
âWould the two of you kindly introduce yourselves, as well as explain your purpose here in our Starry Celestial Sect?â Star Demon Elder asked directly, his gaze fixed on the pair.
Seeing the Star Demon Elder, Jiang Chengxuan knew who he was and responded calmly, âJiang Chengxuan, from the Western Continentâs Wandering Immortal Alliance, and my wife, Shen Ruyan.â These few words left the Star Demon Elder and his disciples in shock.
The Wandering Immortal Alliance, Jiang Chengxuan, and Shen Ruyan!
These names were some of the most discussed in Zhongzhou recently.
Word had spread about the elder from the Scarlet Dragon Sect who had traveled to the Western Continent and returned defeated, immediately entering seclusion.
Through various reports, all the major sects in Zhongzhou had learned of the events in Qingzhou.
It was widely known that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had decisively subdued the Scarlet Dragon Elder, forcing him into a weakened state.
Because of this, many sects had added their names to their watch lists.
The Star Demon Elder, however, had never expected that the two infamous figures from the Western Continent would suddenly appear at the Starry Celestial Sect.
Only a few days earlier, he had even divined the celestial bodies but hadnât received any warnings of their arrival.
As one who had honed his predictive abilities, the Star Demon Elder couldnât foresee Jiang Chengxuanâs arrival because Jiangâs mastery far surpassed his own.
Suppressing his initial shock, the Star Demon Elder addressed them respectfully, âI have long admired your names, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
I am Star Demon Elder.
Is there some misunderstanding that requires the two of you to place an array here?â Seeing the respectful tone, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan chose not to be hostile and simply replied indifferently.
âMisunderstanding?
I donât think so,â Jiang Chengxuan answered.
âRecently, the Scarlet Dragon Sect intruded upon Qingyun Celestial Sectâs territory, a close ally of ours, seeking to seize a treasure.
Are you aware of this, Star Demon Elder?â The Star Demon Elderâs face fell slightly as he replied, âEveryone in Zhongzhou has heard of the Scarlet Dragon Sectâs recent activities, and your name has resounded through Zhongzhou because of it, Jiang Chengxuan.
But what does this matter have to do with the Starry Celestial Sect?â The Star Demon Elderâs stance remained respectful yet firm, but Jiang Chengxuan only gave a cold chuckle in response.
âIt seems that, according to the Scarlet Dragon Elder, someone provided him with information, leading him to Qingzhou to plunder it.
Are you familiar with this matter, Star Demon Elder?â This wasnât a fabricated accusation; Jiang Chengxuan was well aware of the truth.
The Scarlet Dragon Elder had gone to Qingzhou based on information obtained from a transaction with the Starry Celestial Sect, where they had exchanged the intelligence for access to one of Zhongzhouâs treasure sites.
The Star Demon Elder himself had foreseen an opportunity in Qingzhou, which he had conveyed to the Scarlet Dragon Elder as an enticing âopportunity.â But what he hadnât anticipated was Jiang Chengxuanâs presence or the Western Continentâs inherent dangers.
Jiang Chengxuanâs words hit their mark, causing Star Demon Elderâs eyes to narrow and his gaze to sharpen as he regarded Jiang.
Clearly, Jiangâs arrival wasnât a coincidence; it was a calculated response, perhaps a warning or even retribution.
The gravity of the situation weighed on Star Demon Elder, and the air grew thick with tension as silence enveloped the space.
Jiang Chengxuan didnât rush to say more, allowing the elder to ponder the implications of his words.
By revealing only this much, Jiang left the Star Demon Elder guessing.
