Chapter 1724: The Unification of All Races, Fighting the Strongest Enemy Alone (Part 1)

“Bang! Bang!”

The heavy shackles crashed onto the ground, causing a small cloud of ash and dust to rise and swirl in the air.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

After breaking free from its restraints, the figure of the Burning Giant seemed even taller than before. Its muscular arms, as thick as tree trunks, bulged and twitched, making loud explosive sounds with every movement.

But in the face of all this, Jiang Chengxuan remained calm, watching coldly. He showed no concern for the fully unleashed Burning Giant.

“Roar—-!”

At this moment, the battle was about to begin. The Burning Giant seemed to sense Jiang Chengxuan’s disdain toward him. Its hollow eyes filled with even more killing intent as bright scarlet flames erupted.

“Whirr—-! Whirr—-!”

Accompanied by a series of strange humming sounds, the ugly scars on its body shone with dazzling light, flowing like lava, emitting a force of fire-infused disaster power.

Phantom figures, like burning dragons and serpents, appeared from nowhere and coiled around the Giant’s blackened body. Immediately, its aura surged, and its flames roared, shooting into the sky!

“Roar—-!”

The next moment, the Burning Giant’s figure exploded forward, charging straight toward Jiang Chengxuan. After breaking free from its shackles, its speed was now several times faster than before!

In the blink of an eye, it flew toward the altar platform like a burning meteor, leaving a twisted trail in the void, closing in on Jiang Chengxuan!

“Take my sword!”

Jiang Chengxuan was, of course, well-prepared. In an instant, the Tai Chu Hong Meng Sword appeared in his hand, and he swung it without hesitation, faster than the charging Giant’s movements.

The brilliant Hong Meng light illuminated the heavens, like a massive chasm blocking the approaching Giant. Even the frenzied creature dared not directly clash with this blow. It roared as it was forced back by Jiang Chengxuan’s powerful strike, its eyes filled with fury.

“Roar—-!”

But soon after, it was unwilling to give up and launched another attack, picking up the shackles and chains that had fallen on the ground, using them as weapons to throw at Jiang Chengxuan.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan swung his sword again. Two sharp hums rang out, and the shackles and chains were instantly shattered into countless fragments.

At that moment, amidst the dazzling light, the Burning Giant broke through the air and closed in on Jiang Chengxuan’s side. It roared as it swung a massive punch, and the dragon-serpent-like phantoms that manifested on its body surged forward, turning into an overwhelming torrent of force that pressed down toward Jiang Chengxuan!

The air around them turned a deep red as the fire-infused disaster aura filled the surroundings, making Jiang Chengxuan’s surroundings feel like an inferno.

“Ritual!”

But Jiang Chengxuan remained calm and unfazed. He chose to face the attack head-on, taking a step forward without retreating. His Tai Chu Hong Meng Sword transformed into a thrust and shot out a golden torrent to meet the incoming assault!

“Boom—-!”

The two terrifying forces collided, causing a violent shockwave that shook the heavens. Even the entire altar trembled.

Brilliant light and heat engulfed the surroundings for a hundred miles, blocking the sky and the sun, making every inch of the void burn!

After this clash, the Burning Giant, empowered by the disaster power, was able to match Jiang Chengxuan’s Tai Chu Hong Meng Sword blow, demonstrating its extraordinary strength.

But for Jiang Chengxuan, a mid-stage Immortal practitioner, this was still far from enough!

After the exchange of blows, Jiang Chengxuan did not hold back any longer. His eyes turned cold, and the Xuanjie appeared behind him. The five-element path, reincarnation path, and life-and-death path were simultaneously summoned, descending upon the Burning Giant!

Three massive streams of mysterious light, as vast as the sky itself, immediately blotted out the heavens, and the terrifying force of these Dao patterns slammed into the Giant, sending it flying, crashing outside the altar.

“Is this all you have…?”

Jiang Chengxuan frowned, muttering to himself. He did not believe that the enemy, planted by the ominous darkness to guard the ancient runes here, only possessed such methods.

Therefore, Jiang Chengxuan did not act hastily but chose to wait quietly.

For a long time, there was only silence in the world, with the sounds of burning continuing to echo, lulling one into a daze.

“Boom—-! Boom—-!”

Then, at some point, an indistinct rumble, like a series of drumbeats, became louder and closer.

Suddenly, the entire altar, like a small mountain, began to tremble. The falling ash and dust filled the air, plunging the world into a hazy, dim state.

“As expected.”

Jiang Chengxuan showed no surprise. He looked down through the mist at the altar’s base.

He saw a dark and bright tide of flames surging toward the altar like an ocean, clusters of fire igniting and spreading, turning the bottom into a chaotic sea of fire.

These were the countless burning fire monsters!

He didn’t know when, but they had all gathered around the altar, their steps shaking the earth, numbering in the millions, like sand gathered into the sea!

At this moment, the entire world had turned into a true hell, with millions of tortured souls screaming and bloodthirsty, offering their souls in sacrifice!

“Woo woo woo—-!”

In the midst of this, Jiang Chengxuan heard a sorrowful chant from the void. The sound seemed to make the heavens and the earth weep. The voice penetrated his soul, causing the world to fall silent, as though nothing else existed except for that sound.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The first of the prisoners closest to the altar exploded with a loud bang, turning into a pile of charcoal and a sky full of sparks.

Then, it was as if countless bombs had been ignited. One after another, the burning prisoners exploded!
