Chaotic Sword God

When the nine Immortal Emperors on the throne saw the injuries on the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendrils, they all widened their eyes. It was unbelievable.

They were in complete disbelief.

They understood exactly how powerful the formation was better than anyone else.

Gathering the power of eighty-one Immortal Monarchs, coupled with the nine Immortal Emperors, it was truly overkill to use such a formation to kill a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Immortal Devouring Orchid.

If it were not for the fact that the Immortal Devouring Orchid they were going after this time had a rather special origin and identity that forbade any accidents while killing it, even needing to consider any possible sudden occurrences in the process, there was absolutely no need for them to mobilise so many people.

That was because even a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt would face certain death against such a set up, let alone a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.

In the end, the terrifying strike that gathered all of their strength failed to even cut through the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendrils.

That basically left them wondering whether there was something wrong with their eyes or not, wondering whether they were seeing some surreal illusion.

Even though they had not used their full strength with that attack, it should not have been like this.

“Are you certain this Immortal Devouring Orchid is a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor? Surely it’s not an Immortal Exalt?” one of the people on the nine thrones asked.

“Hmph, even if it is a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, there’s no reason why we can’t cut through its tendrils.”

“It’s not an Immortal Exalt. It’s well and truly a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.”

“If that’s the case, it can only mean that the Immortal Devouring Orchid before us possesses alarming defences.”

“It’s probably not just as simple as possessing alarming defences. Its regenerative ability is similarly unbelievable.”

When they heard that, the Immortal Emperors on the thrones all blanked out. Shortly afterwards, their faces all became ugly.

That was because the injuries left on the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendrils from earlier had already closed up completely, without leaving behind a single trace like. It seemed like it was never injured before.

“Hmph. The power of lightning and fire is the bane of plants. Use the Lightning and Fire of Nine Tribulations!”

An Immortal Emperor snorted coldly from one of the nine thrones.

In the next moment, the eighty-one Immortal Monarchs in the formation all began to shine brightly. Endless energy surged out from them, and the formation absorbed all of it.

It was not just them. Even the nine Immortal Emperors on the thrones erupted with their energies.

At that moment, the energies of the eighty-one Immortal Monarchs and nine Immortal Emperors seemed to have merged together completely, amplified and converted by the formation to form a mysterious power. This power changed the laws of space inside the formation, producing new ways.

The rumbling of thunder suddenly appeared inside the formation, growing stronger and stronger as if the world had exploded. It was deafening.

A blanket of tribulation clouds appeared out of nowhere, crackling with lightning and releasing devastating might.

The nine thrones had already vanished. The entire space was chaotic. All that remained was the Immortal Devouring Orchid and the amassing tribulation clouds.

At this moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid swelled once more, going from several hundred metres tall to several thousand metres tall. Its colossal figure seemed to fill the entire space in the formation.

At the same time, all of its tendrils instantly straightened out. All of them were filled with explosive power, piercing through the sky with enough force to shatter stars.

Boom!

The tribulation clouds in the sky had finished charging up. With a startling crack, a fiery-red bolt of lightning rained down with the power of lightning and fire.

The tendrils of the Immortal Devouring Orchid shot off into the air at the same time. One of the tendrils received the lightning fearlessly, while the remaining tendrils shot into the tribulation clouds.

Boom!

With a great rumble, the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendril clashed violently with the tribulation lightning. The fiery-red lightning seemed to be pierced through the middle, turning into countless arcs that scattered in the surroundings like falling petals.

Apart from getting slightly burnt, the tendril that blocked the lightning was undamaged.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid had many tendrils. They varied in strength and thickness.

However, this tendril in particular was clearly one of the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s main stalks. Its defences were far greater than the other tendrils.

As a result, the Lightning and Fire of Nine Tribulations that the Immortal Emperors had unleashed at the cost of even greater energy instead achieved even less than before.

Before they could even become shocked, something absolutely astounding unfolded before the eyes of the nine Immortal Emperors hidden away in the formation.

The many tendrils of the Immortal Devouring Orchid that pierced the tribulation clouds began to churn around wildly, setting off the lightning from the clouds regularly. The chaotic thunder rang out again and again.

As a matter of fact, they saw the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendrils shatter many bolts of lightning in an extremely brutal manner the moment they took shape in the tribulation clouds.

The nine Immortal Emperors on the thrones were all rather dazed. They stared blankly at the tribulation clouds in the sky. That was the Lightning and Fire of Nine Tribulations that had been created by the formation after gathering everyone’s powers. It could even kill Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors.

Yet right now, the Lightning and Fire of Nine Tribulations that was enough to strike fear into all Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors was actually being churned up like mud, played around freely.

That left them all dumbfounded.

Ten seconds later, the tribulation clouds shattered with a rumble. Before the tribulation clouds could unleash their complete might, before all of the lightning could fall, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had already dispersed it forcefully.

However, that came at a certain price to the Immortal Devouring Orchid as well. In the end, one of its few main stalks was burnt pitch-black. Apart from the unscathed tendrils, the rest were all missing a segment too.

But very soon, all of the damaged tendrils rapidly recovered. The vanished segments regrew too.

Immediately, the Immortal Devouring Orchid made a full recovery again like it had returned to its prime condition. Its presence did not weaken at all.

“I-is this really a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor?”

The nine Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were stunned. They looked at the Immortal Devouring Orchid like they were looking at a monster.

But very soon, their faces suddenly changed.

After recovering, all of the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendrils began to dance again. Each tendril turned into a colossal vine, striking the formation with terrifying force.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Even the weakest tendrils among them possessed power no less than a late Immortal Emperor. When all of the tendrils slammed down at the same time, it was like simultaneous attacks from several dozen Immortal Emperors. It left the formation rumbling and shaking violently.

“Quick, stabilise the formation. Chaotic Sword Technique!”

The Immortal Emperors on the thrones cried out in surprise and anger. The faces of the eighty-one Immortal Monarchs that maintained the formation all became flushed. They had already begun to shake uncontrollably. Many of them ingested all kinds of God Tier pills. The energy they channelled into the formation immediately increased once more.

The presence inside the formation changed. A chilling killing intent bloomed from the space there. The killing intent was so great that even Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors would end up trembling if they were caught by it.

In the next moment, the chaotic space inside the formation became blindingly white. Numerous sword Qi appeared. Afterwards, they were all unleashed, completely enveloping the Immortal Devouring Orchid like torrential rain.

Each strand of sword Qi was both sharp and terrifying. They possessed the devastating power to rip open space.

Immediately, the Immortal Devouring Orchid produced a pitter-patter of explosions. Countless sword Qi erupted on it. The sound showed no signs of ceasing.

Within the chaotic and violent energy storm, numerous plant fragments were scattered into the surroundings. Under this barrage of sword Qi, many of the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendrils were cut to pieces.

Even its main body and the gorgeous flower was left with a dense series of marks.

The barrage of sword Qi attacks lasted for half a minute before coming to a stop. By then, the nine Immortal Emperors on the thrones had all become sickly pale, while the eighty-one Immortal Emperors in charge of maintaining the formation were all extremely feeble. They all wolfed down God Tier pills.

That wave of attacks was truly startling in power. Each strand of sword Qi was extremely horrifying, enough to easily kill an Immortal Emperor. Under this endless stream of sword Qi, even Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors would be torn to shreds.

Such a powerful attack obviously came at a tremendous cost to them. Even the nine Immortal Emperors found it rather difficult to endure.

However, to the nine Immortal Emperors’ despair, the Immortal Devouring Orchid was still standing after receiving that barrage of attacks. Apart from some severed tendrils and the injuries that did not seem particularly severe, there was no other damage.

“Its wounds-its wounds- are actually closing up- They’ve all closed up. They’ve all closed up. It’s actually all closed up. The injuries we dealt after going to such great lengths and going through so much difficulty have actually all closed up in the blink of an eye. D-don’t tell me this Immortal Devouring Orchid is actually unkillable? Is it undying?” an Immortal Emperor on a throne called out powerlessly. He was filled with despair.

“Impossible. This is impossible. With my understanding of Immortal Devouring Orchids, it’s completely impossible for them to possess such impossible abilities, much less possess such powerful defences. Is this really an Immortal Devouring Orchid?”

“No, it can’t be an Immortal Devouring Orchid. It definitely isn’t an Immortal Devouring Orchid. We’ve all been deceived. Only its appearance is similar to an Immortal Devouring Orchid’s. In reality, it’s not an Immortal Devouring Orchid at all, but a species that we’ve never seen before capable of extraordinary things.”

“Dammit. Are you telling me the daemon orchid that we went to such great lengths to teleport over from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is actually an unkillable monster?”

“Damn you, mixed-blood branch. You’ve screwed us over.”

At that moment, the nine Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were all close to going crazy. They utterly hated the mixed-blood branch to the core.
