Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3469: Threatening the Sect

The appearance of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals’ ancestor immediately brought the eight great elders great relief, feeling as if they had found a harbour to shelter from the storm. No matter how fiercely the winds were outside, it could never reach them.

After all, their ancestor was a figure who ranked towards the very top even among all the Immortal Exalts of the Grand Sovereign Heaven.

Most of the Immortal Exalts of the Grand Sovereign Heaven were at the First Heavenly Layer, while their ancestor had already reached the Second Heavenly Layer many hundred thousand years ago.

The Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals’ ancestor was stronger than most of the Immortal Exalts on the Grand Sovereign Heaven, let alone the Immortal Devouring Orchid that was only a Ninth Heavenly Layer immortal Emperor.

Jue Wenxian’s gaze towards Jian Chen also changed as he stood behind the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals’ ancestor. He no longer underestimated him. Instead, there were some hints of seriousness. The Shadowless Lifetaking Strike had already cast a shadow over his heart.

On the other side, Jian Chen who was completely wrapped in the Divine Armour of Heavenflight became rather stern as well. He personally believed he feared no one among Immortal Emperors, but when he faced an Immortal Exalt, he also experienced very great mental pressure.

“Sir, you are looking down on my Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals far too much. Do you really think my Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals is powerless over you?” The Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals’ ancestor spoke. His eyes shone brightly, staring straight into Jian Chen’s eyes with a sharp light.

“I have no interest in making an enemy out of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals, but I must kill Lin Sui!” Jian Chen said coldly. Even when he faced a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, he did not back down.

The Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals’ ancestor laughed out of anger. “You say you want to kill a great elder of my sect right in front of me in my Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just with a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Immortal Devouring Orchid?” With that, a tremendous presence erupted gloriously. The Soaring Immortal Ancestor had clearly been infuriated. The killing intent radiating from him locked onto Jian Chen.

Under the tremendous presence of a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, Jian Chen felt his entire body tighten. The surrounding space pressed together violently, forming an invisible restraining force that tried to immobilise him.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid was affected by this presence as well. Its colossal body rapidly shrank.

With a wave of his hand, the Immortal Devouring Orchid turned into a vine and curled around Jian Chen’s hand. In the next moment, the Chaotic Force in his body circulated wildly as he used the concealing ability of the Divine Armour of Heavenflight. He immediately vanished, without a single trace remaining.

The ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals suddenly narrowed his eyes. His face was filled with surprise. In the next moment, he reached towards the space where Jian Chen resided.

Immediately, a region of several hundred metres suddenly collapsed, turning into darkness. Countless chaotic streams of space slammed together inside.

The surprise in the Soaring Immortal Ancestor’s eyes gradually turned to shock before he became serious in the end. After failing to find Jian Chen, his face could not help but become rather ugly. His cultivation as a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt erupted again. He launched a palm strike and immediately shook up the space of the entire Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals violently. The space of the entire sect fluctuated violently from his influence. Pitch-black cracks would sometimes appear, rapidly spreading out as black lines.

The Soaring Immortal Ancestor directly used his brute strength to destroy the stability of this space in an attempt to force out Jian Chen.

However, Jian Chen seemed to have vanished from there entirely or had departed from this space already. No matter how the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals interfered with it, he was unable to force out Jian Chen.

The eight great elders became stern. The senses of their souls wove together, closely combing through every inch of space in the surroundings.

“Looks like that person is gone. However, his concealing technique is anything but ordinary. He can actually slip away right under the ancestor’s nose,” a while later, the Old Monarch of Burial Mountain said.

“Sigh, I didn’t think I’d actually underestimate him. Originally, I thought the thing he relied on the most was the Immortal Devouring Orchid. I didn’t expect his personal abilities to be exceptional as well. In particular, that strange sword Qi can directly appear in my body and instantly heavily injure me. It’s truly unguardable.” Jue Wenxian wiped away the traces of blood from the corner of his lips. Sensing his obliterated organs, his pale face became extremely ugly.

“Great elder Jue, haven’t you been in secluded cultivation the entire time? Why do you understand this person so well?” a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor asked curiously.

“I was cultivating a clone. I was waiting for my clone to reach the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor before fusing with it through a secret technique so that I could use it to break through the shackles of Immortal Emperors and become an Immortal Exalt.” New chaptᴇrs are published on Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

“The clone has been cultivating in the Sword Sect of Flowing Light the entire time. It took several hundred thousand years before finally becoming a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, yet in the end, this person suddenly barged into the Sword Sect of Flowing Light. When he destroyed the formation, my clone was affected and almost died. It managed to survive in the end, but it sustained some permanent side effects. Breaking through now has become several times more difficult.” Fury raged in Jue Wenxian’s eyes when he spoke of this.

The great elders from the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals looked at one another when they heard that. They wanted to smile, but they did not have the courage to.

The clone of the leading great elder from the mighty Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals had actually suffered from such an accident. They all found this to be rather funny.

“Now is not the time to talk about this. This person hasn’t left the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. I can’t find him, but I do know he’s been lurking in the shadows the entire time. You cannot afford to be careless,” said the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. As a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, this was the first time he had become so stern when facing an Immortal Emperor.

When they heard that, the expressions of the great elders all changed. They were in disbelief.

“Ancestor, even you… even you can’t find him?” Lin Sui became rather pale.

The ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals nodded slowly.

However, his words were confirmed very soon. Jian Chen’s voice rang out from the space there.

“I’ll say it one last time. I will definitely kill Lin Sui. I have no intentions of making an enemy out of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. As long as you expel Lin Sui, I’ll leave immediately after I kill him. Otherwise, I'll be forced to fight the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals to the very end.”

“Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals, I am indeed powerless over you as you are a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, but apart from you, none of the eight great elders or the thousands of disciples beneath them will escape death.”

Jian Chen’s words made the faces of the great elders darken. Even the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals’ eye shone with a terrifyingly cold light.
