Chapter 3567: Undying (1)
The six Immortal Emperors hidden in the back mountain of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens also came from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
The protective formation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had been operating at full strength the entire time. Especially after Jian Chen and the others had left, they pushed the might of the formation to the limits.
However, that still could not stop the six Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. They completely bypassed the protective formation like it did not exist at all, entering the depths of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens elusively without raising any attention.
The six of them held onto the ancient jade talismans and sat mid-air without budging. The senses of their souls linked together as they communicated to one another carefully.
“Hide away carefully. I’ve already received the news that the people from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens are almost back.”
“The Immortal Devouring Orchid is a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, higher than our cultivations. Won’t we be discovered from so close?”
“Don’t worry. The ancient jade in our hands was personally forged by a supreme expert countless years ago. Let alone the Immortal Devouring Orchid with its puny Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor cultivation, even some First or Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts will struggle to find us. However, there are many limitations to the ancient jade. Every time it’s used, it needs a millennium to recover. Each usage lasts three days, which is enough for us.”
“Sigh, the mixed-blood branch really has made a lot of trouble for us this time. It’s just a pity that the mixed-blood branch has Dao Wuxue. We’re incapable of doing anything to them. Once the ancestors return, we’ll definitely tell the ancestors everything that they did.”
“Yeah. To think that they actually threatened us. We’ll definitely make the mixed-blood branch pay for this.”
At this moment, the protective formation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens suddenly pulsed violently. A great gate ripped open as a colossal immortal vessel flew in from outside slowly with a group of disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
The six Immortal Emperors hidden in the back mountain all stopped talking.
Jian Chen made the immortal vessel land directly on the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The Immortal Devouring Orchid that had shrunk to a few metres tall hovered behind the immortal vessel. Then it turned into a blur and shot towards the back mountain.
However, no one noticed that as the Immortal Devouring Orchid approached the mountain where it usually resided, patterns suddenly appeared on its body, outlining the essence of the ways. It seemed to be woven from countless ways and laws, which seemed extremely profound.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid paused slightly, but it soon recovered, landing on the boulder like nothing was wrong and taking root with great familiarity.
“Do it!”
At this moment, a bellow suddenly rang out. Six figures appeared from the space there as a powerful spatial formation appeared, instantly enveloping the space where the Immortal Devouring Orchid was located.
In the next instant, the spatial formation erupted with blinding light. With a violent rumble of the space, the six Immortal Emperors vanished with the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
From the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, elder Nong and Chen Shifang seemed to sense something. They suddenly looked in the direction of the back mountain. Their faces were ugly.
As Immortal Monarchs, they could obviously sense the chilling spatial ripple from the back mountain. They also noticed that the Immortal Devouring Orchid had already vanished.
“Oh no, senior daemon orchid has been transported away by a spatial formation,” Chen Shifang said sternly. He immediately became extremely solemn.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. Anyone bold enough to go after it meant they were fully prepared.
“Senior daemon orchid is almost an existence like a guardian god to our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Since someone is going after it, it means that they’re determined to kill our guardian god.” Elder Nong’s voice was gruff, filled with worry.
He could already imagine that their arrangements were extremely startling to be bold enough to go after a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Immortal Devouring Orchid. They definitely were fully confident in succeeding.
Before such great power, even when the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had a hidden Immortal Emperor like the young ancestor, elder Nong still did not have any confidence.
“What do we do, sect master?” For a moment, elder Nong and Chen Shifang looked towards Jian Chen.
Both of them were out of ideas regarding this situation.
Compared to how nervous elder Nong and Chen Shifang were, Jian Chen seemed much more composed. He waved his hand like it was nothing and said, “Don’t worry about it. Go and do what you need to do. The resources we brought back from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder requires some plans on how we’re going to use them.”
Afterwards, as if nothing had happened, Jian Chen made his way towards the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens steadily.
However, as soon as he entered the divine hall, Jian Chen vanished. He equipped the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and left the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid was a plant that he had carefully raised. It had drunk much of his chaotic blood in the past, so a profound mental connection had already been formed between it and Jian Chen. As a result, Jian Chen could roughly sense the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s location.
Several tens of million kilometres away, the tremendous killing formation assembled by eighty-one Immortal Monarchs and three Immortal Emperors operated away in a remote mountain range.
At first glance, the space enveloped by the formation was chaotic. Everything in there had vanished. The entire space seemed to twist violently from the unimaginable force it was under.
Suddenly, the space shook. As the great teleportative power spread out, six figures and an Immortal Devouring Orchid several metres tall appeared in the killing formation.
Under the efforts of the six Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, they unleashed a powerful spatial formation to forcefully teleport the Immortal Devouring Orchid over.
As soon as it arrived, the Immortal Devouring Orchid fell into dire straits!
This was a land of ambush set up beforehand!
The six Immortal Emperors vanished. The six remaining thrones condensed from the power of the formation all became filled.
The nine Immortal Emperors took their positions, becoming part of the formation, which immediately pushed the killing formation that could easily kill Immortal Emperors to several levels higher!
“Immortal Devouring Orchid, release Xiang Shi immediately. If you refuse to comply, you’ll definitely be annihilated!”
The six thrones faded in and out in the space there as part of the formation. A dignified voice rang out from one of the thrones.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid did not seem to understand what they said. Its figure instantly swelled up, growing to several hundred metres tall. Countless tendrils formed colossal vines that shot towards the nine thrones at the same time with lightning speed like swords.
“A foolish choice!” A person snorted coldly from one of the nine thrones. The power of the formation began to operate. A colossal light screen descended from above like a sharp blade, slicing down on the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s vine mercilessly with alarming power.
Boom!
The two collided together, producing a great rumble. The terrifying storm of energy swept through the space in the formation, making the entire formation shake.
Following the attack, the blade created by the light screen vanished, and all of the tendrils that the Immortal Devouring Orchid sent out were repelled. There was a deep gash on each vine, where some were even on the verge of being directly severed.
