Chapter 3672: The Seven-coloured Heaven-bursting Talisman
“Master, set him free, or he’ll be devastated and tortured by the Imprint of Soul Incineration and Stablisation forever. Even if you save him, it won’t change his fate,” said the sword spirits.
Jian Chen shut his eyes. His heart was filled with pain. Immortal Emperor Wuya was one of the three great Immortal Emperors of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the past like Immortal Emperor Taihang. He possessed great prestige, yet now, Jian Chen had to personally kill Immortal Emperor Wuya. He struggled to make himself do that.
Even if killing Immortal Emperor Wuya was to free him.
After all, the person before him was not the enemy!
At this moment, on the floor above Jian Chen’s, Jun Yiming had already used the tablet he found from Xiang Hong to open one of the cages. He rescued the middle-aged man imprisoned there.
The middle-aged man’s name was Jun Tianyi. He was a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, but his cultivation was sealed, so he could not use any of his powers. He was like a mortal.
“Fellow, can you rescue us as well? We will never forget your deed of saving our lives today.”
“Fellow, if you can release me, you’ll be my saviour. I will definitely repay you endlessly.”
“If you save me today, I will hand over everything that I know without holding back, whether it be cultivation methods, secret techniques, or immortal techniques. Even if you don’t need them, an Immortal Emperor’s legacy is still quite precious.”
When Jun Tianyi was saved, the other dozen or so immortals imprisoned there opened their eyes and pleaded with them.
Their eyes that were originally filled with despair and gloom actually lit up with hints of hope.
Jun Yiming hesitated.
“Sigh, we all suffered the same miserable fate. Yiming, if it’s possible, save them as well.” Jun Tianyi sighed gently.
Jun Tianyi seemed to possess extremely great status to Jun Yiming. As soon as he said that, Jun Yiming immediately stopped hesitating. He held Xiang Hong’s tablet and was about to open all of the prisons.
But at this moment, the expression of Immortal Emperor He Yu who had just made his way up to this floor suddenly changed. He immediately cried out, “Oh no, experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants are coming. We need to go, or we’ll be in trouble.”
When he heard that, Jun Yiming’s expression changed right as he was about to open the prisons. Without any hesitation, he immediately took out a low quality god artifact divine hall and said urgently, “Uncle Tian, your cultivation has been sealed up, so hide in this divine hall for now. I’ll immediately work with brother He Yu to use the secret technique and escape from here.”
Jun Tianyi also understood the urgency of the situation, so he immediately entered the divine hall. At this moment, Jun Yiming could not concern himself with the other people anymore. He quickly arrived near Immortal Emperor He Yu and stood around him with the two other Immortal Emperors of the Jun family in a corresponding formation.
Immortal Emperor He Yu was stern. He formed a seal with his hands. Immediately, a colossal talisman appeared on him. His hand seals changed as he chanted away. The talisman shone with dazzling light before casting an enormous and profound formation under Immortal Emperor He Yu.
The formation had a total of four positions. He Yu took the main position, while the three Immortal Emperors of the Jun family gathered around Immortal Emperor He Yu, standing in the three other positions.
In the next moment, the might of the three Immortal Emperors from the Jun family was channelled furiously into their positions beneath their feet.
Immediately, the formation was activated. Dazzling light radiated out as if it was about to split open the space there.
“Hmph, what do you think our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is supposed to be? A place where you can come and go as you please?” At this moment, a bone-chilling voice echoed through the cave. A middle-aged woman appeared out of nowhere. There was nothing special about her appearance, but she radiated with the tremendous presence of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
She was Xiang Zhiru, one of the only two Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors present in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
“Oh no!” As soon as they spotted Xiang Zhiru, the expressions of Immortal Emperor He Yu and the three people from the Jun family changed drastically.
At this moment, Xiang Zhiru struck suddenly. Her face was frosty as her eyes shone with rage and killing intent. She directly launched a palm strike from afar.
Under the palm strike, the space immediately twisted violently. Countless pitch-black cracks appeared. A terrifyingly great and irresistible force struck the four Immortal Emperors’ incomplete formation.
Boom!
The underground cavern rumbled loudly. The talisman condensed by Immortal Emperor He Yu collapsed, and the profound formation projected onto the ground vanished as well. The four Immortal Emperors sprayed blood from their mouths, having been blasted back with pale faces.
Before a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, they obviously stood no chance as they were just three Immortal Emperors at the Second Heavenly Layer and an Immortal Emperor at the Third Heavenly Layer.
“And I was thinking how the people who infiltrated our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants must have been Immortal Exalts at the very least. I didn’t expect it to be a group of early Immortal Emperor ants.” Xiang Zhiru stared at the four of them icily and ground her teeth. “You’ve destroyed so many mountains and disrupted the usual operation of the three Skyfire Volcanoes. During the chaos, many of our weaker disciples were affected too, leading to quite a loss.”
“Just your lives alone are nowhere near enough to atone for such heinous crimes. Tell me, who are the people behind you?” Xiang Zhiru said to Immortal Emperor He Yu.
Immortal Emperor He Yu wiped away the blood on the corner of his lips. Even though he was stern, he did not panic at all. He sneered and said, “You want to know who the person behind me is? The likes of you do not have the right. You’ll need the Immortal Exalt ancestors of your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants at the very least.”
“You won’t say? Sure. Just you wait until I capture you and make you suffer the pain of having your soul incinerated. I’d like to see if you’re still so stubborn under that pain.” Xiang Zhiru sneered and reached towards Immortal Emperor He Yu.
Immediately, the space seemed to freeze up. A terrifying force spread through the underground space. Both Immortal Emperor He Yu and the three Immortal Emperors from the Jun family felt like they had sunken into mud when they faced Xiang Zhiru’s attack. Their movements became particularly sluggish.
The difference in cultivations was far too great, so great that even if they worked together, it was futile effort against Xiang Zhiru. They could not resist at all.
Immortal Emperor He Yu’s gaze immediately sharpened. He said chillingly, “I didn’t want to use this trump card originally. Xiang Zhiru, you forced me to do this.” As he said that, Immortal Emperor He Yu suddenly pointed towards his forehead. In the next moment, his finger plunged deeply into his head. Blood flowed out.
In the next moment, he dug out a glazed, seven-coloured talisman from his forehead. When the talisman appeared, a mysterious presence immediately filled the surroundings.
The talisman did not seem to contain any earth-shaking power nor did it radiate with a powerful presence, but when Xiang Zhiru saw the talisman, her expression immediately changed drastically to one of fright.
“T-that’s a Seven-coloured Heaven-bursting talisman. W-why do you possess that?” Xiang Zhiru cried out. Even with her strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, she could not contain her fear when she saw the rainbow talisman.
The various legends regarding Seven-coloured Heaven-bursting talismans subconsciously filled her mind. Her fear deepened.
She understood the power of this talisman extremely well. With her strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, the only fate awaiting her was annihilation if the talisman locked onto her presence. She would not even have any hopes of reincarnating. Even if the Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were present, they would not be able to save her.
Her intense fear towards the Seven-coloured Heaven-bursting talisman made her give up on capturing the people before her. She suddenly turned around, fleeing as quickly as she could.
But at this moment, a vine extended out from the empty space, piercing towards Xiang Zhiru with lightning speed.
The abrupt incident immediately made Xiang Zhiru narrow her eyes, but the vine moved far too quickly. Coupled with how sudden everything was, Xiang Zhiru was completely caught off-guard, so she was unable to respond to the attack at all.
Spurt!
In a split second, the vine pierced Xiang Zhiru’s chest and emerged from her back.
