Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3996: Retrieving the Divine Mountain (1)
Previously on Chaotic Sword God...
“Anyone dwelling in the Immortal World is permitted to claim the sovereign god artifact from that junior. Everyone except you, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor…”
With those words, the Dungeon Demon God and the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor vanished from beyond the Reverent Observance Heaven. A colossal spatial rift remained suspended in the sky, emanating waves of terrifying presence.
They had already plunged into the spatial crack, commencing a staggering combat. Every attack unleashed turbulent storms, and every clash possessed world-shattering force.
Indeed, as supreme existences on the heavenly emperor tier, even if their current combat was not for their lives, the sheer output of energy they generated was profoundly shocking, sending shivers down the spines of the Immortal Exalts within the Reverent Observance Heaven.
“Another battle befitting heavenly emperors! It hasn’t been long since the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance confronted the four supreme ancestors of the Sacred Beast clan. Little did I imagine that such peerless battles, rare even across millions of years, would occur twice in such a brief span…”
“When the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance displayed her power above the Reverent Observance Heaven, the cause was the near-total annihilation of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. The orchestrator behind it all was the Thousand Immortal General of Observance Heaven City, Chang Yang. This time, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor and the Dungeon Demon God are also battling outside the Reverent Observance Heaven, all because of Chang Yang…”
“Who could have foreseen that Chang Yang, merely a trifling Immortal Emperor, would ignite such a cataclysm over the Reverent Observance Heaven…”
Upon the Reverent Observance Heaven, numerous Immortal Exalts gazed at the spatial fracture hanging in the void, releasing sighs filled with complex emotions.
Meanwhile, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, locked in combat with the Dungeon Demon God, seethed internally. He realized he was entangled with the Dungeon Demon God, unable to break free, thus leaving him with no surplus strength to vie for the sovereign god artifact.
Simultaneously, Jian Chen stood by his chamber window in Observance Heaven City, his gaze fixed upwards. His eyes were riveted on the immense spatial fissure. A gradual smile graced his lips.
Previously, approaching the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was impossible due to the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s presence within the Sword Region of Violet Heavens. However, he recognized that his opportune moment had arrived.
Beyond the Reverent Observance Heaven, the vast spatial tear began to shrink incrementally. The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor and the Dungeon Demon God were rapidly receding, their figures growing ever more distant from the Reverent Observance Heaven.
Within a mere minute, the rupture sealed itself completely.
They had entirely departed from the Reverent Observance Heaven. Even the earth-shattering conflict that erupted between them could no longer disturb the space surrounding the celestial realm.
Immortal Exalts emerged from the Reverent Observance Heaven, one after another. They tore open the fabric of space with their bare hands before diving into the expanse.
This was a contest befitting heavenly emperors, exceptionally captivating, drawing many Immortal Exalts to follow. They observed from a vast distance, hoping to glean some form of inspiration.
The clash of heavenly emperors had lured away nearly half of the Immortal Exalts stationed on the Reverent Observance Heaven. The number of Immortal Exalts remaining had dwindled significantly.
Even the vice city lord of Observance Heaven City, the Master of Fire Virtue, had departed to witness the spectacle.
Deep within the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the Space-splitting Venerable hovered in mid-air, legs crossed within a towering structure. His gaze was fixed outwards, yet he remained stationary.
The other ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants lined up outside the tower, all feeling a sense of temptation.
“With me watching over this place, you are free to depart. A battle on the heavenly emperor’s scale is exceedingly rare. May you find benefit from spectating,” the Space-splitting Venerable stated impassively.
Upon hearing this, the ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants ceased their hesitation. They decisively left the Reverent Observance Heaven, also entering a spatial rift.
After they departed, the Space-splitting Venerable shifted his gaze towards the direction of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. His eyes were exceedingly cold. He murmured to himself, “I never anticipated the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor was actually concealing himself within the Sword Region of Violet Heavens all this time. Hmph, Jian Chen is a target the crown prince desires. He is the crown prince’s quarry. Even heavenly emperors must stand aside…”
Jian Chen stood by his window, his extraordinary vision as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor allowing him to pierce through space and witness the Immortal Exalts depart one by one.His eyes blazed. Without a moment's hesitation, he masked his presence, cloaked by the Illusionary Daemon race's disguise and the Divine Armour of Heavenflight. He slipped away from Observance Heaven City unnoticed, materializing directly within the Sword Region of Violet Heavens.Invisible, he hovered above the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, now a desolate place overgrown with weeds, his gaze fixed on the sky.Since mastering the Laws of the Sword, his Laws of Space had also grown immensely. He could now faintly perceive the location of the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain, concealed within the spatial layers.The Star Clustered Ancestor had used his Laws of Space to seal the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain. While it could deter weaker cultivators, it was insufficient against the more powerful Immortal Exalts.Without the Divine Formation of the Heavens, Jian Chen, with his current cultivation, would be utterly incapable of retrieving the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain. He couldn't break the seal from this distance.Even with the assistance of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid, it wouldn't suffice.A cultivation base of at least a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt would be necessary to even begin to affect the seal.Yet, even for a cultivator of that level, extracting the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain would demand immense effort.Jian Chen, positioned above the main peak, looked towards the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.He understood that his actions would inevitably alert the formidable experts residing in Reverent Observance Heaven. Although many Immortal Exalts had departed to witness the battle between the heavenly emperors, a significant number remained.However, the hesitation in Jian Chen's eyes was fleeting, quickly replaced by resolute determination. In the next instant, the surrounding space warped. Tens of thousands of disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, accompanied by a contingent of experts, were forcibly extracted by the power of the Primeval Divine Hall.Upon their emergence, they immediately formed the Divine Formation of the Heavens, its brilliant light bathing the area.Deep within a tower belonging to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the Space-splitting Venerable, levitating in the air, suddenly opened his eyes. They flashed with an astonishing intensity as he directed his gaze towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.For years, he had closely monitored any stirrings within the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Jian Chen's previous use of the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and the Illusionary Daemon race's mask had rendered him undetectable. However, the activation of the Divine Formation of the Heavens had exposed him."Tens of thousands of Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, several dozen Immortal Monarchs, and nine Immortal Emperors... Jian Chen, I have sought you for years. You have finally revealed yourself." The Space-splitting Venerable's eyes turned malevolent, his features contorting with hatred, radiating palpable killing intent.He recalled the devastating state of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. A million members had been annihilated across the sect. One of the seven ancestors, Ancestor Ling, had perished. Ancestor Cloud-treading's physical body was destroyed and had yet to recover.Even he himself had suffered profound humiliation at the hands of the elder princess, a blow to his pride from which he could never truly recover.Lacking the courage to confront the elder princess directly, he redirected all his pent-up resentment and grievances towards Jian Chen."The master of the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi, Dan Chenzi, and the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. As expected, you are both with him. The other Immortal Emperors appear to be prisoners of our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants as well. Excellent! Excellent! Truly excellent! Initially, I only harbored suspicions, but now, I have definitive proof of who annihilated my Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. It was indeed you..." The Space-splitting Venerable's teeth ground together, his eyes turning bloodshot, brimming with an ingrained hatred.At this very moment, he had finally secured undeniable evidence!The Space-splitting Venerable vanished without a sound. With a single stride, he covered an immense distance, teleporting directly from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants to the Sword Region of Violet Heavens.Concealing his aura, he found a vantage point within the Sword Region of Violet Heavens. His gaze pierced through the void, locked onto the direction of the Violet Heavens Sword Sect.
"Hmph," the Space-splitting Venerable scoffed inwardly. The experts hailing from the Immortals' World were well aware that Jian Chen possessed the Divine Formation of the Heavens. It was only natural that he, too, would have intimate knowledge of this.
