Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3982: Killed Without Mercy

The Master of Profound Secrets fully trusted Jian Chen. He quickly retrieved a jade slip, engraved details upon it, and handed it over. “I share strong connections with everyone listed here. Without my introduction, approaching them rashly would yield no valuable insights from them. They’d fiercely reject admitting any hatred toward the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“Therefore, I’ve placed a hidden symbol on the jade slip. Upon spotting it, they’ll grasp the situation fully. They’ll grant you their absolute faith. Feel free to inquire about anything, fellow Yang Yutian.”

Jian Chen accepted the jade slip and examined it closely. Just five names appeared there. Beneath each, their affiliated organizations and backgrounds were clearly noted. Furthermore, every one of them was an early Immortal Exalt.

Not a single one among these five resided on Jade’s End Heaven. Instead, they occupied five separate heavens. One happened to be the Grand Sovereign Heaven, which left Jian Chen momentarily stunned.

The Grand Sovereign Heaven wasn’t just Jian Chen’s initial destination in the Immortals’ World; it was also where he’d discovered Immortal Emperor Taihang, one of the three great elders from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

Once he stored the jade slip, Jian Chen cupped his fist toward the Master of Profound Secrets in gratitude. Yet, the Master of Profound Secrets, now utterly focused on the cauldron’s developments, overlooked Jian Chen’s notably chilly demeanor.

Suddenly, turmoil erupted within the cauldron. Bursts of ferocious energy erupted ceaselessly, battering the cauldron and causing thunderous booms. The whole cauldron trembled faintly.

The medicinal essence within underwent transformation. The prior equilibrium teetered on collapse. Without intervention, the cauldron faced certain explosion.

The Master of Profound Secrets responded with composure. He flashed before the cauldron and placed one palm against it. His surging energy poured endlessly inside. Simultaneously, he waved his other hand toward the stack of heavenly resources nearby. Items enveloped in misty glow flew into the cauldron methodically.

Guided by the Master of Profound Secrets, the rampaging energy within the cauldron gradually calmed. Order restored itself completely.

Yet, the Master of Profound Secrets showed no relief. His expression grew even graver. He formed seals nonstop with his hands while fixing his gaze on the cauldron, devoting every bit of focus.

Jian Chen fixed his eyes on the cauldron too. Though his prowess in the Way of Alchemy paled far behind the Master of Profound Secrets’, he’d still attained some skill. He discerned plainly that the ancient pills inside had hit a vital phase. The diverse energies within intensified relentlessly. The Master of Profound Secrets had to sustain perfect harmony and steadiness among them constantly.

“Master, how much more time until these pills are done?” Jian Chen inquired abruptly.

The Master of Profound Secrets launched strikes repeatedly with his hand, targeting specific spots on the cauldron in a precise rhythm. Only then did he reply thoughtfully, “Hard to predict exactly. These pills boast supreme quality and prove incredibly tough to refine. Numerous disruptions arose beyond my foresight. I handled them on the fly.”

“Still, estimating roughly, it’ll require at least another thousand years. Should delays occur, it could stretch to tens of thousands of years.”

“At least another thousand years? Such a shame.” Jian Chen eyed the cauldron regretfully. Then, he pivoted and strode off into the distance, departing from the cauldron.

As Jian Chen departed, the Master of Profound Secrets assumed he’d lost interest in refining the Divine Pills of Way Accumulation. Panic gripped him. “Stay calm, friend. A mere thousand years flashes by for beings like us. I swear, the instant these pills finish, I’ll craft the Divine Pills of Way Accumulation for you right away.”

Those words halted Jian Chen in his tracks. He turned slowly, gazing at the Master of Profound Secrets. “Truthfully, I never asked you to refine the Divine Pills of Way Accumulation.”

Stunned, the Master of Profound Secrets eyed Jian Chen with bewilderment. Before he could respond, Jian Chen continued, “In truth, I visited Azure Light Mountain for one purpose alone—the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens!”

“Master of Profound Secrets, we held no prior enmity, yet certain matters leave me no option. Forgive my offense!”

With those words, space above Jian Chen warped violently. A supreme formation of tens of thousands of cultivators materialized soundlessly, exuding icy killing intent.

It was the Divine Formation of the Heavens!

As a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Master of Profound Secrets occupied an alchemy site fortified with numerous formations. To prevent him leveraging them, Jian Chen unleashed the Divine Formation of the Heavens decisively, intent on slaying him outright.

This marked the Divine Formation of the Heavens’ debut to the world, now complete with all fifty thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal disciples. Though it hadn’t unleashed its ultimate assault yet, its aura dwarfed all prior displays.

“Fellow Yang Yutian, w-w-what’s the meaning of this?” The Master of Profound Secrets gaped at the formation materializing from nowhere, utterly baffled.

From the instant the Divine Formation of the Heavens emerged, the Master of Profound Secrets sensed trouble. Still, he couldn’t fathom Jian Chen targeting him amid this pivotal moment.

After all, refining these ancient pills stood at a critical juncture. The Illusionary Ancestor craved them desperately. Favored by her and recipient of her favor, Yang Yutian had zero motive to sabotage her intentions, regardless.

Before further rumination, a cataclysmic beam of radiant light erupted, cascading in brilliant hues. It sealed the space around the Master of Profound Secrets utterly.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang out as the Divine Formation of the Heavens’ strike obliterated the Master of Profound Secrets entirely. In his final instants, disbelief filled his eyes.

Even in death, he couldn’t comprehend Jian Chen’s motive for killing him.

The Divine Formation of the Heavens wielded terrifying might. That single blow not only erased the Master of Profound Secrets but also shattered the premium god artifact cauldron nearby. It annihilated the ancient pills he’d labored over.

It ripped through every formation the Master of Profound Secrets had erected too. The horrific shockwave birthed a destructive tempest ravaging everything. The mountain range faced apocalyptic ruin: boulders crumbled, earth caved in, skies darkened.

“Oh no, the Master of Profound Secrets…”

“What’s happening? Such a ferocious energy tempest. Fall back!”

......

…

Around Azure Light Mountain, four figures soared skyward, radiating immense auras. Shock and rage gripped them all.

They were the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt, Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt, Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, and Jade Lotus Master.

Yet now, these Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts appeared feeble against the Divine Formation of the Heavens’ shockwave. Astonished and furious, they retreated swiftly.

The energy storm raged overwhelmingly, utterly ruinous. Despite their power, they couldn’t halt it. They hurled mighty strikes while fleeing, striving to weaken the onslaught.

The Divine Formation of the Heavens’ blast plunged deep underground, striking Azure Light Mountain’s core. It jolted the entire Jade’s End Heaven.

Suddenly, Jade’s End Heaven quaked violently. Spiderweb cracks spidered across its expanse.

From space, one could witness Jade’s End Heaven visibly shifting.

Every top expert on Jade’s End Heaven snapped their eyes open. They stared toward Azure Light Mountain in alarm.

Instantly, dozens of figures materialized near Azure Light Mountain as if teleporting. Over thirty strong, their auras differed, but the feeblest was a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.

“Everyone, join forces to repel this storm!” the Jade Lotus Master bellowed frantically. Her cry echoed across Jade’s End Heaven.

A native powerhouse of Jade’s End Heaven, she commanded immense respect. At her command, all assembled Immortal Exalts acted in unison, resisting the Divine Formation of the Heavens’ shockwave.

Jade’s End Heaven wasn’t the Skyscraping World. The latter boasted peak formations from Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts, rendering the Divine Formation of the Heavens’ damage limited.

Jade’s End Heaven differed starkly. Battles among mid Immortal Exalts alone could ravage a heaven, let alone late Immortal Exalt-level assaults.
