Chapter 3569: Undying (3)
However, the Immortal Devouring Orchid did not understand how these Immortal Emperors felt. At this moment, it seemed to be angered. A colossal presence emanated from it. The mysterious patterns on its body that contained the truths of the world seemed to spring alive. They began to flow slowly like water, shining with dim light.
In the next moment, all of its main stalks shot out. Each main stalk became extremely large. The power contained within was so great that it could easily collapse space and pierce planets.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All of the main stalks struck the formation and immediately produced startling rumbles. The devastating energy shockwaves swept out, making the formation shake violently.
But this time, the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s attacks were extremely fierce. They came wave after wave, time after time. All of the colossal main stalks danced around madly in the air, attacking the formation constantly with chilling power.
Immediately, the formation assembled by eighty-one Immortal Monarchs and nine Immortal Emperors shook with great instability. Each attack from the Immortal Devouring Orchid was extremely frightening. Under its constant frenzy of attacks, everyone who was a part of the formation faced unprecedented impact.
First, it was the eighty-one Immortal Monarchs. Under the almost crazy attacks of the Immortal Devouring Orchid, they only lasted for ten seconds before all spurting blood and turning pale. They were already heavily injured.
Whenever the Immortal Devouring Orchid attacked the formation, a small part of the force would reach them. If it was merely once or twice, they would be completely fine. They would be completely capable of withstanding it.
However, once the damage they sustained was too fierce, it would obviously surpass their limit.
For a moment, all of the Immortal Monarchs in the formation swallowed God Tier pills furiously. They ate all sorts of recovery and healing pills like candy.
All of them gritted their teeth and held on arduously.
The nine Immortal Emperors were not well off either. Only one of them was a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. The rest were all mid Immortal Emperors. They had to endure most of the power from the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s attacks at the same time.
If it were only a regular Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, it obviously could not threaten them. After all, logically speaking, it was completely impossible to shake the formation with the power of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
However, the Immortal Devouring Orchid happened to be no regular daemon plant. Instead, it had received multiple fortuitous encounters, such that its bloodline had already evolved to a completely new species. Right now, it stood on an extremely high level as a lifeform.
As a result, it obviously could not be compared to a regular Immortal Emperor when it came to its strength.
“Everyone, ignite your essence blood and unleash the Hell Formation of Karmic Flames!” Suddenly, one of the Immortal Emperors called out furiously. He gritted his teeth firmly, filled with a sense of determination and viciousness.
This Immortal Emperor was the strongest among the nine, the Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor!
With that, the eight other Immortal Emperors looked at one another. After a slight pause, they all gritted their teeth. Immediately, the eight of them began to ignite their essence blood without any hesitation.
With their essence blood ignited, the nine Immortal Emperors erupted with strength greater than their peaks.
At the same time, the eighty-one Immortal Monarchs beneath them also gritted their teeth. Enduring the consequence of becoming greatly weakened afterwards, they began to ignite their essence blood.
Immediately, the swaying formation began to stablise gradually. A chilling pressure spread out within the formation. The coldness reached the bones.
Under this presence, the entire formation became quiet as if terrifying danger was accumulating.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid stopped its attacks as well. All of its main stalks drooped naturally, becoming quiet for once as if it also sensed danger.
Very soon, a black lotus that gave off an eerie presence silently appeared inside the formation. It was like a ghost, appearing beneath the Immortal Devouring Orchid without any sound. It seemed gloomy and chilling, enough to give people shivers.
But in the next moment, the black lotus unleashed something terrifying. A black fire suddenly shot out from the lotus, enveloping the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
There was absolutely no heat from the black fire, but when it landed on the Immortal Devouring Orchid, the unstoppable Immortal Devouring Orchid began to shake violently. Its body twisted about as its tendrils put up a struggle while it endured unimaginable pain.
Its presence rapidly weakened as its life force bled away. Its turgid body slowly withered as well as if it was losing moisture.
“The Hell Formation of Karmic Flames unleashed at the cost of our essence blood is the reason why this formation can even kill First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts. I refuse to believe it can’t kill this daemon orchid.” The Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants ground his teeth from behind the scenes.
“Look at it. Look at how much pain it’s in from the Hell Formation of Karmic Flames. It’s going to die for sure this time. Hahaha, we’ve finally killed it.”
“Hmph, to force us to such a point where we even have to unleash our final trump card, it can die with glory.”
“The Hell Formation of Karmic Flames is depleting its vitality. I’d like to see just how much vitality it has to regenerate.”
......
…
At this moment, Jian Chen was clad in the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, hidden in the space outside the formation. He stared coldly at the region that had become twisted due to the supreme formation.
He had arrived here as quickly as he could, but through his connection with the Immortal Devouring Orchid, he learnt that it was not in any danger it could not resolve, which was why he had stayed in hiding the entire time without taking action.
“This is a supreme killing formation assembled by eighty-one Immortal Monarchs and nine Immortal Emperors. How extravagant." Jian Chen stared straight at the formation before him as the killing intent inside him surged.
If it was not for the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s evolution, it would have never been able to survive this formation with its strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
“No, there aren’t only nine Immortal Emperors. There seems to be someone hiding in the shadows, someone that hasn’t taken action.” At this moment, Jian Chen’s mind shuddered. He scanned the surroundings. In the moment earlier, he clearly sensed the pulse of a presence.
However, their methods of concealment were also impressive. Perhaps because their cultivation was higher than his, Jian Chen struggled to find their precise location.
“As long as they’re not an Immortal Exalt, no one from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants will be leaving here alive today.” Jian Chen sat in the air and did not participate in the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s battle. Instead, he watched over the formation to prevent anyone from escaping.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid’s gorgeous flower inside the formation suddenly let out a strange cry like an infant’s bawling. All of its main stalks plunged into the black lotus, which immediately made the black flames that surged out from the lotus jump violently.
In the next moment, the black lotus rapidly became transparent. Its power was being depleted at an unbelievable rate.
With the depletion of energy, the black flames from the lotus naturally weakened as well.
“Impossible. This is impossible. It’s actually devouring the power of the Hell Formation of Karmic Flames.”
“Heavens, what kind of monster is this? It can even devour that.”
The sight almost made the nine Immortal Emperors leap up from their thrones. They were filled with shock.
