Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3983: The Illusionary Ancestor Arrives

Right away, Azure Light Mountain shook with ceaseless rumbles. Every Immortal Exalt unleashed their strikes. Dazzling beams of light tore through the skies, shattering space amid horrifying auras.

Space near Azure Light Mountain kept breaking apart and reforming nonstop. Even the laws infused into the area started to waver.

With more than thirty Immortal Exalts from Jade’s End Heaven assembled, their fierce battle against the shockwave from the Divine Formation of the Heavens resembled the apocalypse itself.

Figures kept assembling at a safe distance. They were Immortal Emperors from different parts of Jade’s End Heaven. Right now, they all gazed in horror at the dreadful scene by Azure Light Mountain. Quite a few turned pale.

As Immortal Emperors, they ranked as powerhouses who dominated regions in Jade’s End Heaven, yet they could not meddle in the disaster ahead.

“That’s the Master of Profound Secrets’ territory. What is happening? Why did this occur…”

“I heard that the Master of Profound Secrets is in the process of refining an impressive cauldron of ancient pills. Surely this isn’t caused by failure in the refinement process…”

“Even if he failed in refining the pills, it shouldn’t have caused such a terrifying disaster. How can this devastating situation be caused by mere pills?”

......

Nearby Immortal Emperors engaged in heated discussions. Their hearts churned, barely holding steady.

At last, through the united power of these Immortal Exalts, the shockwave from the Divine Formation of the Heavens got fully neutralized, stopping the destructive tempest from spreading further.

Azure Mountain City, located over a thousand kilometers from Azure Light Mountain, still stood, though its walls had all crumbled. The earth was full of fissures. It lay in ruins.

A silhouette floated before Azure Mountain City, shining brilliantly.

It was the Jade Lotus Master!

Azure Mountain City was lucky indeed, thanks to the Jade Lotus Master shielding it, which saved the city from total destruction. All residents inside stayed unharmed.

Yet before the Jade Lotus Master, the whole Azure Light Mountain had disappeared. A massive pit yawned in the earth, endlessly deep, plunging into Jade’s End Heaven’s core.

Just then, several figures appeared beside the Jade Lotus Master. The Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt from Numerous Layer Heaven, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt from Ease Nurturing Heaven, and the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt from Scholarly Attainment Heaven showed up. Their faces were grim.

“This is definitely not from refining the pills. The Master of Profound Secrets was attacked by someone powerful!” the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt declared gravely. He eyed the bottomless pit ahead, feeling a chill rise from his heart.

“It’s too terrifying. Just the leftover shockwave is so frightening. Even the four of us barely managed to block it. This is the strike of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt at minimum, o-or even stronger…” The Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt’s voice shook a bit.

The Jade Lotus Master’s soul sense spread out like a net, meticulously scanning the wreckage ahead. But as she probed, her face grew ashen. With a sob, she said, “The Master of Profound Secrets is gone. I can’t find any trace of him…”

Hearing that, the other three powerhouses went quiet. They had come to guard the Master of Profound Secrets during his pill refinement, yet in the end? Azure Light Mountain suffered disaster, the Master of Profound Secrets vanished, while the four guards emerged untouched.

Even worse, they remained clueless about what transpired.

Dozens of local Immortal Exalts clustered around the Jade Lotus Master. They looked somber, pressing her for details on the event.

As the Jade Lotus Master prepared to speak, the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt abruptly flicked his hand. Moments later, a damaged cauldron rose from the pit, floating overhead while emanating lingering warmth.

Seeing the cauldron, the four experts’ faces twisted sharply, recognizing it as the tool the Master of Profound Secrets used for the ancient pills. Now, this prime god artifact lay punctured and cracked all over.

“Oh no, the pills have been destroyed. Quick, contact the Waymight clan!” The Jade Lotus Master blanched instantly. The Illusionary Ancestor had spared no effort for this batch of ancient pills. With them ruined, they dreaded her rage.

The Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt, Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, and Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt grasped the gravity. Their expressions turned hideous.

Having joined in slaying the Starflame Demon Lion, they knew full well how vital this pill batch was to the Illusionary Ancestor. Destroyed now, how could they face her?

Though not in charge of the refining, they bore undeniable blame as overseers.

For an instant, the four hesitated. Reach out to the Illusionary Ancestor? None dared.

In the end, the Jade Lotus Master stepped up. She offered generous terms and solemn vows, finally persuading a local Jade’s End Heaven expert.

This was a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt and an organization’s ancestor. But their sect had amassed foes across Jade’s End Heaven, leaving recent years dire. With no choice, they agreed to the Jade Lotus Master’s plea and rushed to the Waymight clan.

Meanwhile, a figure lurked in the vast starry sea outside Jade’s End Heaven, floating silently and observing the Azure Light Mountain chaos from afar.

As Jade’s End Heaven experts converged, their mighty soul senses swept by repeatedly, yet none detected this hidden figure in the stars.

It was Jian Chen!

After launching the Divine Formation of the Heavens’ fatal blow, he slipped away undetected by the four experts. The Master of Profound Secrets’ surrounding formations had aided crucially.

Those formations briefly delayed pursuit, letting him recall the Divine Formation of the Heavens to the Primeval Divine Hall. Then, using the Illusionary Daemon race’s mask to cloak his aura, he evaded the four’s detection.

While the four concentrated on dispersing the Divine Formation of the Heavens’ shockwave, Jian Chen seized the chance to flee Azure Light Mountain. Only in stable space within the starry sea did he fully activate the Divine Armour of Heavenflight’s stealth.

Staring at the leveled Azure Light Mountain and the endless pit at its heart, Jian Chen gasped inwardly. The Divine Formation of the Heavens’ might far exceeded his imagination.

“

Back in Observance Heaven City’s sacred land, Daowei Chengqing had targeted him with Stainless Qi. Now, he wrecked the pills made specially for Daowei Chengqing. Even score.

The sole one he felt indebted to was the Illusionary Ancestor.

“” Jian Chen sighed softly before whirling away, vanishing into the starry sea’s depths, departing Jade’s End Heaven.

The perpetrator of Azure Light Mountain’s calamity departed freely, but the mental strain and dread he left on Jade’s End Heaven’s Immortal Exalt ancestors endured. Especially upon learning the Waymight clan’s second ancestor’s pills were lost, they nearly fainted from terror.

Next to the pills, the Master of Profound Secrets’ demise seemed minor. All minds raced on soothing the Illusionary Ancestor’s fury and begging mercy for Jade’s End Heaven.

The full mountain range got sealed off. The site stayed frozen in time, awaiting the Illusionary Ancestor.

“Who? Who killed the Master of Profound Secrets?”

“An alchemy grandmaster like the Master of Profound Secrets is a treasure to the entire Immortals’ World. Who would ever want to harm someone like that…”

......

…

The following day, visiting Immortal Exalts reached Jade’s End Heaven. They had all benefited from the Master of Profound Secrets or owed him debts. Hearing of his death, they decried the injustice.

But silence fell fast. They gaped at Azure Light Mountain’s doomsday ruins, chills gripping them.

For a destructive aura still clung to the devastated peaks.

That remnant aura alone terrified these Immortal Exalts.

After days, Jade’s End Heaven’s skies abruptly dimmed. Every cultivator there, no matter their level, struggled for breath. Crushing suffocation weighed on their chests.

Blindness. Breathlessness. In that instant, all on Jade’s End Heaven sensed the world’s end.

The mightier the cultivator, the fiercer the sensation. Some Immortal Emperors and Immortal Exalts distinctly felt a colossal force lock onto entire Jade’s End Heaven. This force dwarfed the Azure Light Mountain blast. Every local Immortal Exalt’s heart quaked.

“I-i-it’s the Illusionary Ancestor!” The Jade Lotus Master’s face drained of color. Profound dread filled her gaze. She recognized the Illusionary Ancestor’s aura, yet its terror now eclipsed her Starflame Demon Lion slaying by leagues.
