Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3571: Annihilation

“Detonate the formation!”

A Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch old man among the eighty-one Immortal Monarchs below suddenly yelled out the moment that the nine Immortal Emperors fled.

In the next moment, the formation shone with blinding light. An energy enough to destroy a world was unleashed. Afterwards, the entire formation exploded with a startling boom.

Boom!

Immediately, the sky collapsed as the space cracked open. A colossal, spatial hole engulfed the mountains. The violents streams of energy wreaked havoc inside, forming spatial storms that slammed against the Immortal Devouring Orchid fiercely.

Within the destructive storm that was enough to make First Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors pale, the Immortal Devouring Orchid stood without falling over. However, wounds rapidly appeared on its colossal figure. Jade-green fluid oozed out.

The wounds multiplied, growing denser and denser. Very soon, they covered its entire body.

The eighty-one Immortal Monarchs suddenly pulled back the moment the formation was detonated. They used various secret techniques, either turning into blood-red shadows or vanishing on the spot. They used a wide array of abilities and all sorts of secret techniques to flee.

The Immortal Monarchs were also aware of the situation in the formation. Not only did Dao Wuxue’s fate bring chills to the nine Immortal Emperors, but even the Immortal Monarchs had almost been frightened out of their wits.

As a result, none of them held back when they fled this time, nor did they hesitate at all. They all unleashed their secret techniques.

In the space nearby, Jian Chen who concealed himself with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight stood up. He glanced past these fleeing experts with cold, emotionless eyes, about to take action.

But at this moment, multiple vines pierced through the energy storm. There were over a hundred of them in total. Each vine pierced through the space with ease and startling power.

All of the severed tendrils of the Immortal Devouring Orchid had already recovered. The main stalks went after the nine Immortal Emperors, while the remaining tendrils locked onto the eighty-one Immortal Monarchs.

Each tendril seemed to be of infinite length, extending off into the distance indefinitely.

By now, the nine Immortal Emperors had already fled a million kilometres away. They moved extremely quickly, crossing a hundred thousand kilometres with each moment. They would enter completely different territory with each step.

But despite that, they still did not drop their guard, not even in the slightest. They continued to flee at full speed. After all, to Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors, this distance was truly nothing.

But at this moment, the nine scattered Immortal Emperors all felt a chill at the same time. A tremendous sense of danger swallowed their hearts.

“Oh no!”

Their hearts immediately sank as their faces changed drastically. Without any hesitation, they ignited their vital energies to unleash fleeing secret techniques at the cost of their health. Their speed immediately multiplied.

However, it was still useless.

The space behind the nine of them split open at the same time. Colossal vines extended over from a million kilometres away, piercing their protective energy with terrifying power. They penetrated their medium quality god artifact armour and pierced their bodies.

In the next moment, the nine Immortal Emperors rapidly withered away. The life energy in their bodies was drained at a terrifying rate.

“I am a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. If you kill me, our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants will never spare you!”

“You can’t kill me! If you kill me, you’ll have your soul shattered the day the ancestors return!”

They roared out furiously, letting out deafening bellows. They struggled with their full strength, but it was all futile.

Even more terrifyingly, a force of attraction emerged from the tendrils, trapping their souls, such that they could not abandon their bodies and flee with just their souls.

Without the assistance of the formation, the nine Immortal Emperors seemed even more puny before the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

In the end, none of the nine Immortal Emperors managed to flee. The Immortal Devouring Orchid devoured everything that they had, not just their life force and vital energies, but even their bodies as well.

The eighty-one Immortal Monarchs did not manage to escape either. Regardless of what kind of secret technique they used, they could not be faster than the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendrils.

The eighty-one Immortal Monarchs followed the footsteps of the nine Immortal Emperors very soon. They were completely devoured by the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendrils, vanishing from the world for good without leaving behind anything.

The energy storm from the detonated formation settled down slowly. The Immortal Devouring Orchid stood unshaken throughout the entire energy storm. All of its injuries had already recovered.

Hidden away, Jian Chen equipped in the Divine Armour of Heavenflight stood in the space there silently, staring at the Immortal Devouring Orchid in a daze.

He had witnessed everything. The Immortal Devouring Orchid’s battle prowess even left him shocked.

In the past, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had always been a puny existence under his protection. All of the opponents he faced were undefeatable existences to the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

Yet now, in just a few thousand years, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had already grown to such heights, possessing battle prowess no weaker than Immortal Exalts. That left Jian Chen at a loss for words.

“As a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, it possesses the terrifying battle prowess to threaten Immortal Exalts. The Immortal Devouring Orchid also possesses the ability to challenge those stronger than it now.” Jian Chen was overjoyed when he thought of that.

“Apart from that, there’s also the almost undying ability. No matter how heavy its injuries are, it can recover instantly. This ability seems to be similar to the undying phoenix that watched the Heaven-splitting Divine Tree. We encountered it in the Xuanhuang Microcosm.”

“The phoenix was devoured by the Immortal Devouring Orchid in the end. Don’t tell me the Immortal Devouring Orchid managed to inherit the phoenix’s undying trait when it devoured it?” Jian Chen guessed to himself.

According to his understanding of the Immortal Devouring Orchid, it had never been able to recover so quickly in the past.

From beginning to end, Jian Chen never exposed himself. He had concealed himself with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight the entire time. Hidden in the shadows, he ordered the Immortal Devouring Orchid to return to the sect before secretly returning with it.

Jian Chen emerged from the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens on the main peak. He gazed at the anxious and uneasy elder Nong and Chen Shifang who stood there the entire time and said, “The Immortal Devouring Orchid has already returned to the sect safely. You don’t have to worry about it.”

When they heard that, Chen Shifang and elder Nong looked over. Sure enough, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had already returned to the back mountain before they had even realised it, rooted on a boulder.

Elder Nong and Chen Shifang could not help but let out sighs of relief at this sight.

“Sect master, were they experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?” elder Nong asked carefully.

Jian Chen nodded as his gaze deepened. “That’s right, they were indeed from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Elder Nong, I have some Space Rings here. You can tidy through them.” With a wave of his hand, over a hundred Space Rings fell into elder Nong’s hands.

These Space Rings all came from the ten Immortal Emperors and eighty-one Immortal Monarchs of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. There were over a hundred and fifty of them in total.

After being devoured by the Immortal Devouring Orchid, their Space Rings had all been preserved.

But now, most of the resources in the Space Rings were beneath God Tier. There were many low grade God Tier resources as well. Everything of higher value had been taken by Jian Chen.

Gazing at the Space Rings, elder Nong’s expression changed slightly. He obviously thought of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants when he saw Jian Chen take out these Space Rings at a time like this.

“Send Chen Feng to see me.” Jian Chen turned around and returned to the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens.
