Their plans were effective and solidified the situation.

“Hahaha! Good! Good!”

“Young friend Jiang, it looks like we need to record another merit for you! Haha!”

Under the influence of such triumphant news, the City Lord of Twin Peaks City continuously nodded and praised Jiang Chengxuan.

For him, Jiang Chengxuan truly appeared like a blessing. His son, Shen Feng, had returned safely because of Jiang Chengxuan, and even the two elders, Li and Tang, were the same.

If they had lost these forces before this great battle, the situation would have been far more dire. Not to mention, the role Jiang Chengxuan played in the battlefield practically decided the entire situation.

…

Amid such circumstances, time flew by swiftly. Although the war between Twin Peaks City and the beast army did not end directly, the increasingly stable battle situation continued to improve steadily.

After enduring the most challenging initial phase, the defending forces of Twin Peaks City accumulated battle experience, continuously redeploying cultivators and shifting defensive lines. In the subsequent waves of conflict, they almost always held the upper hand.

Gradually, the beast army suffered more significant losses, and their leaders were increasingly frustrated, retreating step by step. During this period, Jiang Chengxuan even requested to launch a surprise attack on the beast army.

In the Third War Zone, he displayed overwhelming power, directly slaying a beast leader of the Immortal Ascension stage. On that day, as the colossal beast fell, its blood formed a sea, flooding outside Twin Peaks City and terrifying countless beasts.@@novelbin@@

That battle infuriated the beast army, driving them nearly to madness, but ultimately, it solidified Twin Peaks City’s unassailable position.

Jiang Chengxuan’s name spread throughout Twin Peaks City over the years, becoming a well-known and respected figure. However, amidst the general contentment and peace, Jiang Chengxuan remained vigilant.

Despite the defenders of Twin Peaks City gaining the upper hand, the task from the system remained uncompleted.

This fact forced Jiang Chengxuan to consider that there might still be some factor in the beast army capable of influencing the entire battle.

Although he couldn’t disclose the system’s existence or discuss it with anyone in Twin Peaks City, he continued to wait quietly amidst the celebrations. Finally, his anticipated change indeed occurred.

One day, beyond the battlefield of the Eighth War Zone, in the void above, the beast army gathered once more, eager to besiege the city. Black clouds loomed over the city like a crushing force, and the gleam of their armor shone like golden scales in the sunlight.

On the city wall of Twin Peaks City, the City Lord and Jiang Chengxuan stood side by side. Behind them, countless cultivators of Twin Peaks City were ready for battle, determined to fight to the death.

In the distance, the number of beast soldiers had significantly decreased compared to the initial wave. However, the dense, ominous aura that shrouded the void above them was thicker and more sinister than ever.

“Today’s beast army seems unusual…” Jiang Chengxuan noted, aware that something significant was about to occur, and subtly reminded the City Lord.

“Indeed… that aura is quite unsettling,” the City Lord replied, his expression grave. He had long suspected the beast army harbored some secret weapon.

The very catalyst for this war had been that mysterious presence. Despite his century-long investigation, he had never uncovered its true nature. Now, he sensed it was about to reveal itself.

“Human cultivators! If you abandon the city and leave today, you may still save your lives!” the familiar voice of the Earth Wind Thunder Bear echoed from the beast army, issuing a challenge once more.

In response, the City Lord channeled his spiritual power and soared into the sky, declaring loudly, “Defeated general! How dare you offer terms! What a ridiculous joke!”

However, this time, the Earth Wind Thunder Bear did not rage but instead roared coldly, “Today marks your end! Show yourself, Ancient Dragon Lord!”

At its call, the final trump card of the beast army finally emerged. In an instant, a fierce wind erupted across the battlefield. Behind the beast army, the swirling beastly aura rose, becoming almost tangible. A massive storm expanded from that spot, enveloping the entire sky within a few breaths.

“Rumble!”

Within the storm, a terrifying presence ascended, causing even the void to tremble and crack. Even the second barrier of Twin Peaks City rippled under its influence, like a lake disturbed by the wind.

“A True Immortal!?”

At this realization, Jiang Chengxuan and the City Lord finally understood the beast army’s ultimate card. This boundless aura undeniably belonged to a True Immortal, and not just at the initial stage.

Jiang Chengxuan could sense that this power surpassed even the Phoenix Immortal and the Golden Snake Immortal he had encountered before.

A True Immortal-level beast!

For a moment, both Jiang Chengxuan and the City Lord were utterly shocked.

“Roar——!”

Before they could react further, a thunderous roar that shook all of Twin Peaks City resounded. The True Immortal-level beast tore through the void, emerging from the spatial rift. Its form was so colossal it defied perception. Its black wings spread wide, casting a shadow that covered half of Twin Peaks City.

“An Ancient Dragon!”

Seeing its visage, Jiang Chengxuan murmured, finally understanding the mystery. The roaring entity in the void was indeed an Ancient Black Dragon.

According to records from the Donghe Immortal, Jiang Chengxuan knew about the Ancient Dragon race. They were spiritual beings born from the heavens and earth during the ancient era of the Immortal Realm, possessing True Immortal-level strength from birth.

They needed no cultivation, relying solely on their bloodline to grow and eventually reach the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Many of today’s beasts carried the blood of Ancient Dragons, as they had been among the rulers of the Immortal Realm in ancient times. The presence of an Ancient Dragon meant a terrifying power beyond the ordinary True Immortal.

“An Ancient Dragon was hatched in the Great Thousand Mountains!” the City Lord exclaimed, revealing his guess. The entire beast uprising in the Great Thousand Mountains had been driven by the presence of this Ancient Dragon.

Many powerful beasts carried the Ancient Dragon’s blood, which explained their ambition towards Twin Peaks City.

“What is this aura!”

“Such a terrifying beast! Its mere presence is making the barrier tremble!”

“Damn it! Is it truly a True Immortal?”

Faced with the terrifying Ancient Dragon, the cultivators of Twin Peaks City were paralyzed with fear, their eyes wide with disbelief.

They never imagined that just as they were about to suppress the beast uprising, such a formidable entity would appear. Its strength alone could overturn all their accumulated advantages and single-handedly challenge the entire city.

In the midst of the crowd’s horror, the dragon’s eyes, like golden suns, blazed as it gazed down upon everything below.

“Humans! Submit to the Ancient Dragon!”

Before the crowd could react further, the black dragon roared in a deafening declaration and launched its attack.
