Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3685: Destroying the Sect (Four)

Sensing the chilling killing intent from elder Jiang, Jian Chen and the Immortal Devouring Orchid immediately became cautious. They raised their guards as much as possible.

Elder Jiang was not particularly powerful. As a mere Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, he posed no threat at all to both Jian Chen and the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

However, the details of his conversation with Xiang Bai made Jian Chen and the Immortal Devouring Orchid behave like they were facing an unstoppable opponent.

From the Heavenly Talisman Venerable, Jian Chen had basically learnt about all the trump cards that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants possessed.

First of all, it was their damaged sovereign god artifact. If it were completely activated, it could restrain all foreign enemies. Even Immortal Exalts would struggle to break free.

Their second trump card were the seven ancestral towers. Each ancestral tower contained the full-powered strike of an ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. If the power slumbering inside the seven ancestral towers was awakened, those on the level of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt would be instantly overwhelmed.

The third trump card were the lethal weapons stored within the high quality divine hall.

Suddenly, a terrifying pulse brought chills to Jian Chen, the Immortal Devouring Orchid, and the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. Elder Jiang stood on the top of the high quality god artifact divine hall hovering in the distance with an idol three inches tall in his hand.

It was an elephant-shaped idol, carved from rock. It radiated with an eerie power.

“This is… some kind of curse?” the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt growled. He became unprecedentedly stern.

He had a strong feeling that even at his peak condition, he stood no chance against the curse within the idol.

The tiny elephant idol possessed the terrifying force to slay a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.

However, before they could think too much about it, elder Jiang had already raised the elephant idol over his head. He was stern as he produced an ancient and complicated chant.

In the next moment, the elephant idol’s eyes lit up with an eerie red light. Its demonic eyes suddenly turned towards the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid that stood three thousand metres tall suddenly stiffened. An invisible force had seized it, leaving it immobilised.

However, the Immortal Devouring Orchid soon began to shine with complicated patterns like the manifestation of the ways and the weaving of order. It seemed to produce new laws and contend against the surrounding restraining force.

However, before the Immortal Devouring Orchid could break free, the elephant idol in elder Jiang’s hand suddenly turned into dust and scattered through the air. The terrifying force within the idol descended upon the Immortal Devouring Orchid, bypassing all of its defensive measures completely and directly merging with its body.

This was a powerful curse. It could bypass the defences of god artifacts and protective energies. It could be directly applied to the target like it could overcome all obstacles.

At that moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid became bright-red all over as if it had been dyed by blood. It seemed extremely devilish.

Shortly afterwards, cracks covered its entire body as dark-green fluid flowed out. Even its gorgeous flower seemed to lose all of its vitality, rapidly withering and losing its lustre.

A curse that could slay mid Immortal Exalts rampaged through the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s body. In an instant, it left the Immortal Devouring Orchid heavily injured.

Its undying ability played an effect. However, it was only a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, so it struggled to contend against the curse even with this special characteristic.

At the same time, a sharp sword emerged silently like a venomous snake from behind elder Jiang, darting towards him.

Elder Jiang completely failed to sense the activity behind him.

However, right when the sword was about to land on elder Jiang, a suction force suddenly erupted from the divine hall beneath his feet, sucking him inside.

Jian Chen appeared. He looked at the high quality god artifact under him as his eyes shone coldly.

Three of the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens were in the divine hall beneath his feet.

At this moment, the artifact spirit of the divine hall turned its attention towards Jian Chen. A powerful suction emerged, wanting to drag him into the divine hall against his will.

This was an undamaged high quality god artifact. Its energy was at full capacity. As long as they ended up in the divine hall, even Immortal Exalts would struggle to break free.

Under regular circumstances, only Immortal Exalts were capable of destroying high quality god artifacts.

Of course, that also depended on the grade of the divine hall and the strength of the Immortal Exalt.

However, as soon as the divine hall’s suction force appeared, Jian Chen withdrew, arriving before the Immortal Devouring Orchid instantly through the Laws of Space.

At this moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s situation was not optimistic. Its only flower had already shrivelled as a dark-green fluid covered its entirety. Large pieces of its body collapsed.

Even with the undying ability, it seemed to struggle against the curse that had infiltrated its body.

A rotting smell gradually rose up from the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

Jian Chen could clearly tell what kind of predicament the Immortal Devouring Orchid was in. He furrowed his brows firmly with his face sunken. He pressed his hand against the Immortal Devouring Orchid gently and basically roared to the Source of Life, “Source of Life, you’re also aware of the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s situation. You have to save it no matter what.”

“Its foundations of life have already changed. It won’t die so easily,” the Source of Life answered. Despite that, it still lent some support. Pure life energy surged into the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s body through Jian Chen’s hand.

This was the life energy of a sovereign god artifact. It was on a level far higher than the source. As the life energy moved through the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s body, the residual power of the curse was dissipated.

At the same time, another colossal threat appeared. Elder Jiang began activating the second lethal weapon inside the high quality divine hall.

The lethal weapon did not lock onto the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. Instead, it locked onto Jian Chen.

Jian Chen had killed countless disciples and many experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, so the sect’s grudge towards Jian Chen was far greater than their grievance with the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. They went as far as to use a powerful lethal weapon that could heavily injure or even kill Immortal Exalts on Jian Chen.

“Let’s go!” Jian Chen called out to the Immortal Devouring Orchid. The Immortal Devouring Orchid that had only just stabilised its situation understood. Immediately, it turned into a tiny vine, wrapping around Jian Chen’s arm.

Jian Chen activated the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, disappearing into the space there with the Immortal Devouring Orchid without any trace remaining.

“Huh? Where’d he go?” In the high quality divine hall, elder Jiang clutched a metre-long wooden sword and peered through the divine hall, searching for Jian Chen.

The wooden sword in his hand shone with dazzling light as sword Qi surged.

The wooden sword was clearly a consumable lethal weapon. It contained the strike of an expert of the Way of the Sword. Once activated, it would erupt with peerless sword Qi to slay all invading enemies.

“The power of the sword has already been activated. If I don’t unleash it soon, its power will weaken with time.” Unable to find any traces of Jian Chen, elder Jiang immediately made up his mind. The wooden sword in his hand suddenly locked onto the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.

Immediately, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt shivered. His demon Qi that filled the sky instantly sucked back to him. When the wooden sword locked onto him, he felt like a sword had pierced his heart. It gave him chills everywhere.

Swish!

In the next moment, a resplendent streak of light shot out from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ divine hall, sweeping past the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt grunted, and the demon Qi around him immediately collapsed. He had been cut into two along the waist. Many of his partial souls had been destroyed.
