Chapter 3463: The Strength of the Orchid
Jian Chen smiled without caring when he heard the sneers and underestimation from these people. “Since you know my strength, what do you plan on doing next?”
The Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light’s eyes turned cold. He immediately sneered as he said, “What else can we do? We’ll obviously make you hand over the legacy here. It’s best if you don’t get too ahead of yourself when you don’t have sufficient strength.”
“Little brother, it’s best if you hand over the legacy obediently and save us from doing anything. That way, you still have a chance at survival. Otherwise, you’ll probably struggle to live past today.” The empress from the Immortal Sect of Great Peace threatened with a smile.
“Even with your strength, you’re still so attached to the legacy here. Looks like you have some understanding of the origins of the legacy. Since you know its origins, yet you still want it, then… you better be prepared for the consequences of getting involved,” Jian Chen shook his head and said gently. Shortly afterwards, he opened his hand slowly. A green vine slid into his hand conveniently, blooming as a small and gorgeous flower.
“Swallow them all!” Jian Chen looked at the Immortal Devouring Orchid in his hand and said gently.
In the next moment, the tiny Immortal Devouring Orchid suddenly swelled up, immediately filling the entire divine hall. A powerful presence suddenly erupted like a storm.
“A Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor!”
The expressions of the four Immortal Emperors and several dozen Immortal Monarchs from the three organisations all changed. All of them became stern.
But shortly afterwards, the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light sneered. “So what if it’s at the Ninth Heavenly Layer. If the four of us work together, we can even kill those at the Ninth Heavenly Layer, let alone a plant!” The Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light felt no fear. He was a sword cultivator. His offence had always been powerful, completely capable of putting up a fight against a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
In the next moment, the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light took action first. He turned into a powerful streak of light and cut through the space there. He shone resplendently, creating a tremendous disturbance. He advanced like he was unstoppable, like he wanted to cut through all of his obstacles.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had to be mentioned that this Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light was extremely powerful. His mastery over the Laws of the Sword even surpassed Jian Chen’s. He was completely capable of contending against some regular Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors with his strength.
When the Immortal Emperor struck, Jian Chen narrowed his eyes as well. Jian Chen could kill him in a battle to the death, but he could tell with a single glance that killing this Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light would take quite the effort.
Jian Chen could not help but look at the Immortal Devouring Orchid. The Immortal Devouring Orchid rarely fought. Even when it possessed the strength of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, it was facing an Eighth Heavenly Layer expert of the sword after all. Even he was not certain whether the Immortal Devouring Orchid could handle him.
It all happened in a split second. The Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light turned into a sword and immediately approached the Immortal Devouring Orchid with surging sword intent.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid finally began to move at this moment. Its method of attack was extremely simple, directly opening its dark mouth to swallow the enemy.
“Hmph, even a mere plant wants to swallow me? You’re overestimating yourself.” The Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light snorted coldly. His cultivation erupted gloriously, and the terrifying presence of an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor surged out. He directly shot into the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s colossal mouth confidently.
At that moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid swallowed the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
“Hehe, the daemon plant is done for.”
“This should be an Immortal Devouring Orchid. An Immortal Devouring Orchid that has grown to such a level is rare. Unfortunately, it is too confident. It’s even trying to swallow an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor of the Way of the Sword.”
The three remaining Immortal Emperors from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light, the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union, and the Immortal Sect of Great Peace all sneered inside. They felt as if they could already see the Immortal Devouring Orchid being cut apart by the sword Qi, blowing up on the spot.
Under the delighted watch of the three Immortal Emperors and several dozen Immortal Monarchs, the Immortal Devouring Orchid let out an extremely satisfied belch before opening its huge mouth again, spitting out a pile of white bones.
At the same time, a Space Ring appeared, which it offered up to Jian Chen like precious treasure.
The three Immortal Emperors from the three organisations and the several dozen Immortal Monarchs all turned to the pile of bones spat out by the Immortal Devouring Orchid. All of them stopped breathing.
Jian Chen accepted the Space Ring from the Immortal Devouring Orchid. There was a hint of shock that he struggled to hide in his eyes, as the Space Ring belonged to the Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light.
For a moment, Jian Chen looked back and forth between the Space Ring and the bones on the ground. He was quite astonished. Did the Immortal Devouring Orchid take less than five seconds to completely devour an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor?
That left him in quite some disbelief.
“It’s the Dark Sword Ancestor’s presence. The bones… the bones are- are- are-” At this moment, an Immortal Monarch from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light cried out. He immediately became extremely pale.
“The bones belong to the Dark Sword Ancestor? No… no… This is impossible- how can this be possible. The Dark Sword Ancestor is so powerful. How could he end up like this?”
“This can’t be true. The Dark Sword Ancestor is powerful enough to face off against the Ninth Heavenly Layer. How can he die to a plant?”
......
…
With the Immortal Monarch from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light identifying the remains through its presence, everyone’s expressions changed drastically. They could not help but quiver.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmImmediately, the Immortal Emperors from the three organisations turned sheet-white. In particular, the remaining Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light felt his vision darken and the world spin around him.
In less than five seconds, an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor had been reduced to a pile of white bones. This was far too shocking.
“Retreat!” The two Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Sect of Great Peace and the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union resolutely passed an order. Undisguised shock continued to linger in their eyes, retreating with their subordinate experts without any hesitation.
However, the Immortal Devouring Orchid was even faster than them. Countless tendrils turned into indestructible vines, piercing through the air and shooting past all of them before curling up and restraining them.
The two Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Sect of Great Peace and the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union bellowed out together and surging energy erupted. They took action with full strength and used god artifacts, unleashing powerful secret techniques in an attempt to cut through the vines.
However, when their powerful attacks landed on the vines, they only left behind shallow marks that immediately closed up.
That directly left the two of them astounded.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid began to draw in its tendrils, delivering the restrained Immortal Monarchs into its mouth one by one. In the blink of an eye, it had swallowed over a dozen of them.
The remaining Immortal Monarchs were all arranged in an orderly line under the control of the vines to be swallowed one by one. The shade of death enveloped all the experts from the three organisations.
“Sir, please show mercy. We’ll leave right now. We’ll never interfere with who the legacy belongs to again.” The Immortal Emperors of the three sects lost their cool and begged loudly.
“Now you know regret? Unfortunately, it’s already too late.” Jian Chen’s eyes were icy-cold, filled with killing intent. He was not soft-hearted at all. He turned towards the Immortal Devouring Orchid and said gently, “Swallow them all. Leave none alive!”
With Jian Chen’s order, the Immortal Devouring Orchid seemed to be freed from all restraints. It began to move fearlessly, immediately swallowing them at a rate several times faster.
In merely ten seconds, all the Immortal Monarchs ended up in its mouth. Even the Immortal Emperors from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light, the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union, and the Immortal Sect of Great Peace were not spared.
Half a minute later, the divine hall completely fell quiet. All of the intruding Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors had entered the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s mouth. None of them managed to escape.
