Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3643: The Grand Exalts Return

“I’m afraid that you’re not capable of passing on the news to the lower floors.” Jian Chen stared at the heavily-injured Immortal Emperor before him indifferently. He did not give him any time to catch his breath, unleashing another Shadowless Lifetaking Strike.

The Immortal Emperor had been in the centre of the Immortal-destroying Thunder’s explosion, so he was already extremely injured with his body in ruins. When he endured another Shadowless Lifetaking Strike, it immediately pushed his body past the brink. It directly exploded mid-air.

However, his soul was protected by the power of the Observance Heaven City, blocking all of Jian Chen’s attacks.

“Chang Yang, I am the strongest great elder of the Jade Soul clan. My Jade Soul clan will never spare you for what you’ve done to me,” the Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor called Yu Motian roared furiously. His body was destroyed; it could not be reconstructed within a short amount of time. Even after he rebuilt it, his newly-created body would struggle to merge perfectly with his soul. It would take him a lengthy period of familiarisation.

If this happened outside, then so be it, but he had paid a tremendous amount of resources to come to the eighth floor, yet he had suffered such a great setback. It was quite a loss to him.

At that moment, Yu Motian developed intense hatred for Jian Chen.

“Don’t tell me your Jade Soul clan is one of the twelve courts of heaven?” Jian Chen stared at Yu Motian emotionlessly. Shortly afterwards, he reached out, and Yu Motian’s soul immediately froze mid-air. He was immobilised.

With his soul restrained, Yu Motian wanted to roar out, but he suddenly became stunned. Only now did he remember the person before him was someone bold enough to even offend the Immortal Feather sect of the twelve courts of heaven. Despite the extraordinary strength of his Jade Soul clan, possessing quite some renown in the Immortals’ World, it still paled in comparison to the twelve courts of heaven.

“You better just stay here until we leave. Since you’re willing to pay the price to come to the eighth floor, you must have exchanged for quite a lot of time in the sacred land too,” Jian Chen said indifferently, planning on imprisoning Yu Motian here with the Laws of Space.

If Yu Motian had his body, he would never be able to imprison a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor with his mastery over the Laws of Space, but only his soul remained, which left him extremely feeble. Imprisoning him obviously was not difficult.

However, Jian Chen still felt that imprisoning him with the Laws of Space alone was not completely sufficient, so he added another spatial barrier around him.

Ye Qingyun also made his way over from afar and arrived before Jian Chen’s spatial barrier. Then he set up a trapping formation of the five elements and murmured, “With the spatial barrier, he shouldn’t be able to see the formation I’ve set up.”

They could not kill Yu Motian, so they could only trap his soul here and prevent him from escaping. However, once he leaked the situation here and raised the attention of Immortal Exalts, they could forget about collecting Stainless Qi peacefully.

As for the Space Ring in Yu Motian’s possession, it was also protected by the rules of the Observance Heaven City.

Apart from Stainless Qi, nothing could be seized in the territory of the Observance Heaven City. Only handing it over willingly was allowed.

If it were not for this rule, the sacred land of the Observance Heaven City would have sunken into chaos a long time ago.

After all, the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals who entered the sacred land all relied on the resources in their possessions to reach higher levels than the Immortal Emperors. If this rule was not in place, where would the weaker immortals find the courage to bring so many resources with them?

“I must apologise, fellow Chang Yang. I’ve made you waste such a precious Immortal-destroying Thunder,” Ye Qingyun said apologetically. He understood that if he took action, they could easily overwhelm Yu Motian if they worked together. Meanwhile, if it was Jian Chen alone, he might be able to defeat Yu Motian with his indestructible body, but they would have to fight for several hours at the very least. Moreover, he would struggle to stop Yu Motian from escaping.

However, the clan that Ye Qingyun came from could not afford to provoke the Jade Soul clan that had a late Immortal Exalt.

After all, they were not contending for a Thousand Immortal General’s post here!

“It’s not a problem. The Immortal-destroying Thunders are precious, but they aren’t as useful to me as you think they are.” Jian Chen was indifferent to the Immortal-destroying Thunders. If he did not conceal his strength, the Immortal-destroying Thunders were not particularly useful to him. Even if he were to keep them, he would only give them to his subordinates to use.

Ye Qingyun sighed gently and said, “A lot of people already know that we’re capable of gathering Stainless Qi. If news of this breaks out, probably no one will believe me even if I tell them the truth. The value of this jade bottle far exceeds the Immortal Exalt pills. Many Immortal Exalts will come after it.”

“Fellow Chang Yang, why don’t we discuss something? You’ve offended plenty of people anyway, so having a few more won’t hurt too much. Why don’t you shoulder the responsibility of the bottle?”

Jian Chen considered it and said, “Sure, but I have a condition. I’ll need a bit more Stainless Qi.” Jian Chen was indifferent. Apart from the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City and the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, probably no one else knew his true identity.

“I’ll give you three strands of Stainless Qi out of every five. How’s that?” Ye Qingyun said. He was getting closer and closer to breaking through, so his dependence on Stainless Qi was no longer as great as before.

The two of them reached an agreement very soon. Afterwards, the two of them continued to attract Stainless Qi using the jade bottle.

As for Yu Motian who had been reduced to a soul, he was trapped there by the Laws of Space.

Afterwards, as he absorbed more and more Stainless Qi, Jian Chen could evidently sense the signs of the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall awakening growing stronger and stronger.

Not only did the Stainless Qi trigger the awakening of the artifact spirit, but it also replenished an extremely small amount of energy for the Primeval Divine Hall.

Finally, during the thousandth year since the opening of the sacred land, a tremendous presence suddenly erupted from Ye Qingyun’s body. He had already stopped powering the jade bottle, shutting his eyes and sitting there without budging.

He had finally surpassed the limitations of the Ninth Heavenly Layer and formally stepped into the realm of Immortal Exalts.

However, his breakthrough clearly could not be completed in a short amount of time. Going from Immortal Emperor to Immortal Exalt was a form of evolution. It required a certain amount of time to complete this process.

“Jian Chen, I don’t need any of the future Stainless Qi.” Ye Qingyun conveyed a message to Jian Chen before focusing on his breakthrough.

In order to avoid influencing Ye Qingyun’s breakthrough, Jian Chen moved away from him with the jade bottle before powering it alone.

Fortunately, the first layer of the jade bottle only required regular energy. Even without Ye Qingyun, Jian Chen was still capable of powering the second layer of the jade bottle. As for the Xuanhuang Qi required for the third layer, there was nothing Jian Chen could do about it.

Jian Chen cultivated in seclusion in the sacred land, completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

At this moment, the three thousand ways that wove through the tremendous space of the Immortals’ World suddenly shuddered violently. It seemed as if an unimaginably great power shook the laws and order of the entire world.

A colossal crack appeared in a distant space near the Grand Sovereign Heaven. Through the crack, it was possible to clearly see violent and terrifying chaotic energy.

Within the crack was the chaotic sea that separated the six worlds!

Shortly afterwards, two balls of blinding light flew out of the chaotic sea and directly entered the Immortals’ World, radiating with a shocking presence.

At that moment, countless experts in the Immortals’ World were alarmed. Even a few old freaks who spent many years in secluded cultivation, having reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt already, cast their gazes in the direction of the Grand Sovereign Heaven.

Deep underground in the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance on the Wondrous Success Heaven, the elder princess Fang Jing suddenly opened her eyes. She reached out, and the Dominion’s Brush silently appeared. She gripped it firmly.

She looked in the direction of the Grand Sovereign Heaven with great hatred and ground her teeth. “You bastard, you’ve actually returned. It’s just a pity that you didn’t die over in the Saints World.”

But very soon, Fang Jing seemed to notice something. Then, she furrowed her brow before gloating. “Presence feeble and aura chaotic. Old bastard, looks like your situation is not optimistic either. You’re quite injured.”
