Chaotic Sword God

The experts who had gathered here because their medicinal gardens had been plundered seemed to forget their original objectives. They all turned their attention towards Jian Chen. Their faces were filled with mixed emotions, involving envy and burning fervour.

At that moment, they were not interested in their beloved medicinal gardens but the sovereign god artifact in Jian Chen’s possession.

“Junior, do you really possess a sovereign god artifact? Why don’t you take it out so we can all take a look?” an old woman said. She wore a grey robe, radiating with the presence of a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.

The old woman was known as the Divine Monarch of Cursing Heavens. She grasped the Laws of Curses, allowing her to kill without a trace.

“Little friend, is what that person just said true? Do you really have a sovereign god artifact? One that can heal you indefinitely?” The Split Stream Master of the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sun stared at Jian Chen in great interest.

The other owners of medicinal gardens did not say anything, but all of them looked towards the Immortal Exalts who had emerged from the Skyscraping World. They all investigated the situation inside the Skyscraping World by communicating with them secretly.

Some of these people had left behind wisps of their senses of souls in their medicinal gardens in the Skyscraping World, but the senses of their souls usually spent their time sleeping. They would only rouse when the medicinal garden was under attack, allowing them to grasp the situation.

As a result, the owners of these medicinal gardens were completely ignorant of the major incidents that occurred in the Skyscraping World.

Faced with these questions, none of the Immortal Exalts from the Skyscraping World hid anything. They all stated what they knew.

None of what they said was a secret anyway. They obviously would not offend these owners of medicinal gardens over such a trifling matter.

“What? Not only does this kid possess a sovereign god artifact, but he also has a formation of terrifying power?”

“A Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt actually died by the hand of this Immortal Emperor? It’s that unbelievable?”

“Even several dozen Immortal Exalts working together could not kill him. It truly is a sovereign god artifact…”

Very soon, the owners of the medicinal garden who surrounded the entrance all knew about the storm that Jian Chen had created in the Skyscraping World. They were all deeply shocked.

In particular, the almost undying power granted by the sovereign god artifact left them burning with fervour, tempting them dearly.

At this moment, the owners of the medicinal gardens no longer cared about the resources they had lost in the Skyscraping World. All they could think of was the sovereign god artifact’s endless healing power.

Even the Scholar Capital Master was shocked. He looked at Jian Chen with a hint of caution.

At the same time, they had learnt about how Xing Caijian and Jian Chen did not know one another before they entered the Skyscraping World.

That immediately left the owners of the medicinal gardens thinking.

Suddenly, they seemed to understand what Xing Caijian meant by “guest”.

“So the sovereign god artifact on this kid has caught the Heavenly Star Palace’s attention as well. Yang Yutian, I don’t know what your identity is, but let me tell you a brutal truth. Once you go to the Heavenly Star Palace, your fate will be extremely horrific.” A gruff voice rang out. It came from a middle-aged man in black robes. His appearance was extremely ugly. He radiated with the presence of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.

He was the Corroding Venom Ancestor. His original form was a venomous serpent, and he evolved into a dragon after undergoing numerous trials and tribulations. He had already become a divine beast. His battle prowess was extremely great. Even some of the Sixth Heavenly Layer experts here would glance at him with wariness.

“The Heavenly Star Palace is one of the courts of heaven. It has always received our respect, but your appetite today is truly hideous,” the Cloud Furnace Master said coldly.

“If your Heavenly Star Palace wants the sovereign god artifact on him, just state it directly. After all, it’s perfectly understandable to desire a divine item like that. There’s nothing embarrassing about it. Trying to spin it off as something else will only incur shame,” said the Old Monolith Immortal of the Ancient Immortal sect. He stared at Xing Caijian emotionlessly. Even though he was extremely fearful of the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, he burned with greed upon the thought of a sovereign god artifact that could heal him indefinitely.

Who would not desire such a sovereign god artifact?

Listening to the slander directed at the Heavenly Star Palace, Xing Caijian’s gaze became extremely frigid. She said coldly, “The seniors who are familiar with our Heavenly Star Palace obviously know the forthrightness and boldness of our Heavenly Star Palace. As for those who don’t understand our Heavenly Star Palace, or perhaps those who want to achieve some kind of objective through slandering our Heavenly Star Palace, it doesn’t matter what I say.”

Xing Caijian stepped forward and stood in front of Jian Chen. At that moment, she faced a group of Immortal Exalts whose strength far surpassed hers. Despite her cultivation at the Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, she radiated with an indomitable presence. “It all comes down to a single statement. If you want to do anything to a guest of our Heavenly Star Palace, you better get through the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star in my hand first!”

“Hehehehe, princess Caijian, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star is indeed powerful, leaving us all wary, but its current wielder is not a heavenly emperor after all.” Suddenly, flirtatious laughter rang out. When Xing Caijian heard the voice, the sharpness in her eyes immediately vanished. She completely lowered her guard as well.

In her eyes, the surroundings had already changed. It turned into the scenes she experienced as she grew up in the Heavenly Star Palace. There were no enemies before her, only familiar and reliable figures.

Xing Caijian’s eyes were completely lost. Silently, she had already fallen into an illusion, unable to pull herself out from it.

That was the laws of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Without any external interference, Xing Caijian would struggle to rouse from this illusion even if she spent centuries in it given her strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.

But in the next moment, a terrifying strand of sword Qi erupted like a flood. Xing Caijian immediately jolted back to her senses. When her vision recovered, the space before her had already plunged into darkness. A streak of light flashed through the darkness, slashing at a certain location behind her.

Spurt!

When the streak of light landed, blood sprayed through the air. The redness of the blood stood out, radiating with powerful energy. At the same time, a pale hand had been forcefully severed from the wrist by the sword Qi.

The confusion in Jian Chen’s eyes vanished as well. His gaze sank. Xing Caijian was not the only one affected just now. Even he had been pulled into the illusion unbeknownst to him. If it were not for the sword Qi that erupted from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, he would have never recovered so quickly.

Jian Chen reached out. The Heaven-lifting sword silently appeared and erupted with dazzling light. He slashed at the region of space where the blood sprayed out from.

The attack bore his Laws of the Sword after reaching Sword Sage. Its power was incomparable to before he broke through.

At the same time, numerous afterimages appeared in the air when he slashed out. Each afterimage seemed surreal, bearing power that even made the Immortal Exalts respond with a double take.

In the end, five of the afterimages instantly merged as well, pushing the might of the attack to an entirely new peak.

The Five Superimposition Sword!

Boom!

With a dull sound, Jian Chen only felt his sword land on something tough. A great force passed through the Heaven-lifting sword, leaving his entire right arm numb.

A beautiful figure appeared where his sword had landed. She was a young lady who only seemed to be in her twenties. She possessed alluring beauty.

However, her right wrist had already become bloodied. Her entire hand had been severed. Even an abnormal, white sword mark had appeared on the white dress she wore.

That was the mark left behind by Jian Chen’s Five Superimposition Sword.

The white dress was also a high quality god artifact. Its defences were impressive.

“The first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion, aren’t you a little too hurried? Do you really think your Way of Reality and Illusion can influence the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star?” The Cloud Furnace Master of the Sword Sect of Jade Clouds saw the woman with the severed hand and could not help but laugh.

The first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion’s gaze turned cold. She let out a cold snort, and her body suddenly split apart, into two, then four, then eight. In just a split second, she turned into several hundred figures. Each figure radiated with the presence of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. It was completely impossible to notice any difference between the true and the fake.

“True and fake, fake and true. Among these figures, every single one of them can be viewed as the true body of the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion. At the same time, they can also be viewed as fake bodies. She’s trying to exhaust the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star’s power,” said the Split Stream Master of the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sun.

“Hmph, she wants to exhaust the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt? Does she think the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star is a damaged or weakened sovereign god artifact? It’s a complete sovereign god artifact that bears the power of a heavenly emperor. How can it be that easy to deal with?” The Cloud Furnace Master snorted in disdain.
