Chapter 3689: Shattering the Central Divine Hall (One)
With that, Jian Chen had gained another powerful ally, a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt that was even more powerful than the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
The only flaw was that the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was currently in an extremely feeble state.
He had been imprisoned by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants for several years, stripped of many partial souls for various purposes. When he broke free, he only possessed thirty percent of his peak strength.
Afterwards, he faced the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants in several battles in his feeble state, having been heavily-injured by the jade bottle powered by all the disciples of the sect led by their sect master, Xiang Qitian. Afterwards, he was brought to the brink of death by elder Jiang’s lethal weapon.
He had even relinquished his body.
It was possible to say that the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had already become so feeble that he was basically incapable of any battle apart from possession.
In his current state, he was obviously of no help to Jian Chen.
As a result, Jian Chen sent the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt into the Primeval Divine Hall and left behind some mid grade God Tier heavenly resources for him to recover. Then he turned his focus back to the outside world.
The process of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s attempt to possess Jian Chen seemed to take an extremely lengthy period of time, but all of the exchanges in Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness occurred in the form of consciousness. As such, only around five seconds had passed in the outside world.
When Jian Chen opened his eyes, all of the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had already hidden away inside the central divine hall.
“The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt is possessing this person. This is when his defenses are most lax. If we strike now, it’s the perfect opportunity to kill him and the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.”
“However, that’s too risky. From the various signs, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and this person are on the same side. They’re clearly setting up a trap to lure us out with this…”
“That’s right. They are also aware that once we hide inside the central divine hall, they’re completely powerless over us, which is why they’re putting on a show like this. This is a trap. We can’t fall for it.”
......
…
Jian Chen was unaware that during this short period, the Immortal Emperors hiding in the central divine hall had carried out a discussion. At this moment, he hovered beneath the central divine hall, gazing up at the high quality god artifact with a slight frown.
This was a high quality god artifact divine hall in perfect condition. Even the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was not capable of destroying it during his peak condition.
“The remaining experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants have all hidden inside the divine hall. The three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains of the Sword Sect of Colossal Elephants are also inside. Whether it’s destroying the Immortal Sect of Violet Heavens or retrieving the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains, this divine hall serves as the greatest obstacle.” Jian Chen stared at the central divine hall as his gaze gradually became determined.
At this moment, in the central divine hall, the remaining experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants all cast gazes of malice towards Jian Chen.
“Great elder Xiang Bai, what do we do now?” One of the Immortal Emperor great elders looked at Xiang Bai.
Xiang Bai levitated in the air with his legs crossed. His expression was sunken as he ingested God Tier pills to recover his depleted energy without saying nothing.
“We can’t just remain hidden in the central divine hall like this. We will be temporarily safe, but that’s far too cowardly. Elder Jiang, how many more forbidden artifacts do we have? Can we use a forbidden artifact to directly kill this person?” another Immortal Emperor asked as he looked at elder Jiang. Elder Jiang radiated with a smell of decay like he had a foot in the grave already.
Elder Jiang sighed gently and said, “There’s only one last forbidden artifact available to us, but we can’t use it.While using it will kill all invading enemies, it will also destroy everything that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has established so far.”
“If our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants faces true devastation, then I’ll obviously use the final forbidden artifact without any hesitation. However, we’re already safe now, so let’s just wait a few years patiently for the ancestors to return.”
“Don’t tell me that all we can do is hide in the central divine hall and watch the enemy do as they please?” Some of them refused to accept this.
“As it seems right now, that’s all we can do,” elder Jiang said helplessly.
Outside the central divine hall, Jian Chen levitated in the air and communicated with the twin swords, the Primeval Divine Hall, and the Source of Life secretly.
“I want to fuse the swords to breach this divine hall. Do you have any way to conceal the presence and traces left behind by the fusion of the twin swords?” Jian Chen asked.
The artifact spirits of the three sovereign god artifacts all fell silent.
“Stop dreaming. The power after fusing the twin swords is absolutely startling. Three million years ago, I was fortunate enough to sense its shockwaves. It’s basically impossible to hide such a terrifying disturbance,” said the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
His illusionary figure appeared in Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness as he asked curiously, “You’ve basically become my master now, so can you tell me exactly what relationship you have with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?”
“I wield the twin swords. You tell me what relationship I have with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” Jian Chen shot a glance at the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. Seeing how the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was contemplating something, he asked, “You are a Demon Exalt who’s lived for countless years. Do you have any way to deal with the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ divine hall?”
The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt sank into his thoughts and said, “The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ divine hall is rather powerful. Only Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts are barely able to destroy it, and it’ll take an extremely lengthy amount of time. As a result, there’s basically no way to destroy it unless you fuse the twin swords.”
“However, as long as you fuse the twin swords, the terrifying presence will definitely linger. At the very least, I can’t think of any ideas to hide it.”
“However, I do have an idea that I don’t know if you’re willing to try.”
“What idea?” Jian Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Let me recover my strength. As long as I return to my peak condition, I’ll be able to overwhelm the divine hall. Even if I can’t destroy it, I can take it away with me by force before sending the high quality divine hall into the Primeval Divine Hall,” said the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
“We only have less than three years. Are you able to return to your peak condition during this time?” Jian Chen asked.
The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt snickered and said, "If I use heavenly resources, three years obviously won't be enough. However, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has a pair of Dragon Blood Fish. If I devour the pair of Dragon Blood Fish and nourish my soul with their essence, I'll need a year at most to return to my peak condition."
"The Dragon Blood Fish? You're actually turning your attention towards the Dragon Blood Fish?" Cold light flashed through Jian Chen's eyes. "Don't you know about the origins of the pair of Dragon Blood Fish?"
"Of course I do. They belong to the Sacred Beast clan. However, you have the armour. As long as you hide yourself, even the Sacred Beast clan might not be able to find you. What are you afraid of?" the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt said like it was common sense.
Jian Chen shook his head and ignored the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
"It's unfortunate that I'm not on the Martial Soul Mountain right now, or I'll be able to deal with the high quality divine hall the same way I dealt with the Watercloud Divine Hall." Jian Chen could not help but recall what happened last time. Martial Soul Force was the bane of all artifact spirits.
His current Martial Soul Force was puny. It did not pose much of a threat towards the artifact spirit of a high quality divine hall unless he returned to the Martial Soul Mountain. With its support, he could use Martial Soul Rock to constantly replenish his Martial Soul Force to engage the artifact spirit in a battle over several years.
Otherwise, with his current level of Martial Soul Force, he did not stand a chance against any high quality god artifact.
Without Martial Soul Rock to replenish his Martial Soul Force, his Martial Soul Force recovered extremely slowly.
