Chaotic Sword God

“Don’t tell me that this formation is also set by that mysterious expert?” Jian Chen’s eyes shone. He was uncertain. He carefully sensed the strength of the formation that trapped him. He was very puzzled.

The mysterious expert who attacked his soul twice earlier must have been a terrifying late Immortal Exalt.

The sword spirits and the Source of Life had both confirmed that.

However, the formation that trapped him here clearly came nowhere close to that level, despite still being very powerful. He only needed to coordinate with the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid to destroy it with a few attacks.

However, Jian Chen did not have the courage to let out the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid due to the soul attacks earlier.

“He clearly possesses the terrifying strength to dominate all, yet he refuses to attack me openly, only resorting to sneak attacks from the shadows. What’s he worried about?” Jian Chen’s thoughts flew past him rapidly as he stood in the formation. Despite facing a powerful opponent, he did not lose his cool at all.

At this moment, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy who occupied the Soul Guarding Ancestor’s body hovered silently a hundred kilometres away. A strange presence permeated around him, interfering with the laws and rewriting the order there, allowing him to blend perfectly into space. Unless there were other Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts present, no one could discover him.

He remained a hundred kilometres away as he stared at Jian Chen silently. He did not take any action. He constantly recalled all the information he had learnt from the Soul Guarding Ancestor.

“What a pity. I couldn’t kill you silently. This place is too small, so I can’t directly confront you either. Otherwise, if others find out that a sovereign god artifact has ended up in the hands of our Divine Sect of Ancient Souls, we will have no more peace…”

“The sovereign god artifact can only be obtained in secret. I can’t let anyone else find out…”

The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy was filled with pity. Right now, he was occupying a body that did not belong to him. He only had the cultivation of the Second Heavenly Layer. His battle prowess was no longer at peak condition. His greatest source of strength was the laws he had comprehended.

The forbidden techniques he used against Jian Chen earlier were actually his strongest techniques right now. They were completely enough to heavily injure Immortal Exalts of the Sixth Heavenly Layer.

He had never imagined that even they would not be enough to deal with a mere Immortal Emperor.

“People can’t get in for now, so before the Skyscraping World opens, I don’t have to worry about other experts barging in here. If that’s the case, I’ll let them wear you down first. Hopefully, I’ll be able to swoop in once you’ve been killed, as it’ll be much easier to take the sovereign god artifacts from others than you,” thought the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy. He remained in hiding as he observed Jian Chen who was trapped in the formation. He did not take any actions in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Jian Chen was surrounded once again. Several dozen Immortal Exalts encircled the formation, constantly reinforcing it. They constantly added to the formation set down by the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy.

For a moment, Jian Chen became surrounded by various formations shining with all sorts of colours. The powerful pressure even left some of the Immortal Exalts secretly surprised.

As for who had set up the initial formation that trapped Jian Chen, no one bothered to think about that anymore. After all, many of them had left behind traps like these formations along the way. They had already grown accustomed to them.

“Yang Yutian, we’ve finally caught you. I’d like to see how you escape now…”

“I refuse to believe you can activate that terrifying formation in such a short amount of time. You’re dead for sure this time…”

“Stop wasting time. Immediately activate all of the killing formations and kill this person first, just in case more accidents happen…”

“Yeah, we’ll kill him first. Do it…”

Immediately, dazzling light illuminated the space. Everyone immediately activated their formations. As the formations operated, various powerful attacks flooded towards Jian Chen.

They had intentionally set up these formations to avoid one another. They only targeted Jian Chen.

Immediately, fire, ice, sword Qi, blade Qi, and various other energies swallowed Jian Chen. With a great rumble, Jian Chen was completely drowned out by a devastating storm of energy.

At this moment, no one considered Jian Chen’s background, nor did anyone consider the consequences. The temptations of a sovereign god artifact was enough to drive many people crazy. In order to obtain it, they were willing to give up everything.

Even with all these people present, they were still willing to gamble everything for the slimmest chance, even if it would doom them for good.

In just a split second, Jian Chen suffered severe injuries. Countless holes were blasted through his body. Blood sprayed everywhere.

Before such intense attacks, even if he pushed the defences of his Chaotic Body to the limit, it was useless.

After all, he was facing a group of Immortal Exalts!

“Kill him first and then we’ll decide who the treasure belongs to…”

At this moment, all of the Immortal Exalts who surrounded Jian Chen had lost their minds. The only thought in their heads was to completely kill off Jian Chen.

That was because they had personally experienced just how difficult Jian Chen was to deal with. If it were not for the seed of ways that forced Jian Chen out of hiding, even finding him would be almost impossible.

Jian Chen’s body swayed around, rocked by the powerful attacks. He was unable to stand straight at all.

At this moment, he was like a rowboat in the middle of the ocean. He could tip over at any moment from the storm.

The power of the Source of Life trickled out, flowing endlessly throughout Jian Chen’s body. Wherever it passed by, Jian Chen felt all of his injuries recover at an unbelievable rate.

At times, it even healed faster than the injuries could be created.

“We can stop now. He should be dead…”

“Even a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt might not be able to survive such intense attacks, let alone a mere Immortal Emperor like him…”

The furious barrage of attacks lasted for several seconds before finally stopping. All of the Immortal Exalts who were scattered in the surroundings were fixated on the centre of the formations.

The pressure created by the highly-condensed storm of energy prevented the senses of their souls from getting close.

A while later, the multicoloured storm slowly dispersed. Jian Chen’s figure finally appeared before them again. Immediately, everyone gasped. They were dumbfounded.

That was because there was not a single trace of injury on Jian Chen at all. If it were not for the blood scattered on the ground, they might have even suspected that Jian Chen had not been injured at all.

“I had heard that Yang Yutian possesses a treasure that can rapidly heal his injuries, b-but this is simply inconceivable…”

Many of the Immortal Exalts cried out in the surroundings. The eyes of the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy who occupied the Soul Guarding Ancestor’s body a hundred kilometres away narrowed as well. He was shocked.

The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy had heard from the Soul Guarding Ancestor that Yang Yutian could heal himself quickly, but he never expected it to be so fast.

He was basically unkillable.
