Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3591: Eleven People

Chapter 3591: Eleven People

Jian Chen was heavily injured and began to shake violently. His Chaotic Body erupted as splashes of blood.
Before him, Daoist Master Shangqing became rather pale as well. His presence had clearly grown weaker. He stared at Jian Chen sternly and said, “Sure enough, the Chaotic Body is powerful, to actually still be able to hold on under my three daoist spells. If it were any other Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, they probably would have died to my Divine Lightning of Xuanchi.”
“However, if this is all that you’re capable of, fellow Chang Yang, then I still have doubts about how you defeated Immortal Emperor Li Shan.”
Jian Chen endured the barrage of attacks. His injuries became worse and worse.
But at this moment, a faint green light began to shine from him.
With the light’s appearance, his injuries immediately stopped worsening. All of his wounds closed up at an unbelievable rate, making a full recovery in almost the blink of an eye. It was like a miracle.
Daoist Master Shangqing’s spells had not stopped. The fierce winds continued to whistle, and the rain continued to pour, but they could no longer cause him any injuries when the attacks landed on him.
His recovery was far too powerful. They had already healed before a wound could even appear.
“T-this is impossible.” Daoist Master Shangqing narrowed his eyes when he saw how Jian Chen’s injuries healed instantly. He was filled with disbelief.
“Are you seeing this, Daoist Master Shangqing? No matter what you do, you can’t harm me. As a result, let’s just end our battle here. Forfeit.”
“If we keep fighting, you won’t be able to avoid heavy injuries,” Jian Chen said easily.
He had a good impression of Daoist Master Shangqing. He did not want him to pay such a price.
Daoist Master Shangqing was extremely stern. He stared at Jian Chen deeply and said, “So far, my three spells are indeed incapable of harming you. These three spells are basically the three strongest techniques that I know.”
“Even my strongest spells can’t harm you, so the remaining ones are obviously useless.”
“However, I still find it rather difficult to accept just forfeiting like this. Chang Yang, feel free to use what you’re capable of. I want to personally experience your ability that allowed you to defeat Immortal Emperor Li Shan.”
“If that’s the case, then forgive me!” Jian Chen suddenly thrust out with his sword, unleashing the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike!
Daoist Master Shangqing no longer dared to underestimate Jian Chen. He faced him like facing a powerful foe. His energy surged out like a tsunami as he became fully vigilant.
But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically before he spurted violently with blood. The bloody mist and organ fragments dyed the sky red.
Shortly afterwards, Daoist Master Shangqing’s presence rapidly declined. It was even vaguely possible to see a ball of dazzling light shining inside his body. Streaks of sharp light had already torn through his body, radiating out from inside.
Before the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike, all of the defensive measures that Daoist Master Shangqing had prepared beforehand were rendered useless.
In the next moment, Jian Chen appeared silently before Daoist Master Shangqing. He pointed at him and said, “Daoist master, do you accept your defeat?”
Daoist Master Shangqing coughed up some blood. He was sheet white. He raised his head with difficulty and stared at Jian Chen in disbelief. His voice was hoarse as he asked, “Was this how you defeated Immortal Emperor Li Shan?”
Jian Chen nodded. “Indeed, but Immortal Emperor Li Shan was far more miserable than you. I destroyed his body.”
“What? Li Shan’s body was destroyed?” Daoist Master Shangqing was surprised before grinning and laughing aloud shortly afterwards. “With his body destroyed, it’ll be impossible for Li Shan to return to his peak condition within a short amount of time. Hahahaha!”
“Alright! Fellow Chang Yang, I forfeit!”
With a flash, Daoist Master Shangqing vanished from the ancient battlefield, having been transported away by the power of the Observance Heaven City.
Shortly afterwards, a woman in a white dress silently appeared before Jian Chen. The woman only seemed to be in her twenties and was indescribably beautiful. Her cold demeanour that made her seem completely unapproachable made her seem like a heavenly being.
The woman was the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City!
The artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City stared at Jian Chen emotionlessly, but she did not seem like she was looking at him. Instead, her gaze seemed to be on the Source of Life inside him.
“With that thing around, even Immortal Exalts can’t kill you.” In the end, the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City only uttered that and vanished.
Jian Chen was transported out of the ancient battlefield as well. At this moment, there was only him in the place where the competitors waited. The other twenty participants were still engaged in battle.
This round went on for much longer than any of the previous rounds. One of the battles entered a stalemate and lasted for three months before one side finally forfeited and ended it.
Three months later, all of the Immortal Emperors had emerged from the ancient battlefields. Including Jian Chen, there were a total of eleven people.
However, when they saw how Jian Chen had managed to last until now despite possessing the lowest cultivation out of all the competitors, all of them widened their eyes.
“Daoist Master Shangqing admitted defeat willingly because I defeated Immortal Emperor Li Shan and because he was aware that he would not be able to make it to the very end.” Jian Chen answered like that with a smile when he was questioned by the competitors.
Clearly, no one actually believed his reason. However, when they saw how Jian Chen was uninjured and in a fine state, they could not help but become rather uncertain.
Out of the eleven competitors present, only Jian Chen was unscathed.
“One of us will not have to participate in the next round and can directly enter the top six. After the top six, the victor will be chosen from the last three people. As a result, whoever gets a free round next will get a critical advantage,” said Xia Mingtian of the Immortal Feather sect. He was quite injured, and his energy was heavily drained. He desired the free round for the next bout very much, as it would give him enough time to recover.
“One out of eleven. Everyone’s chances to get a free round has increased substantially compared to the other two times,” Zi Huayu of the Luo clan said. She was a middle-aged woman, as well as the only woman among the eleven Immortal Emperors present.
......
…
At the same time, a great, golden ranking hung above the Observance Heaven City. In the beginning, it was covered with names, but now, only eleven remained.
The eleven Immortal Emperors that had lasted until now all had their names written on there.
“Chang Yang, independent cultivator, Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor!”
The name that was consistently ranked last due to its low cultivation obviously raised the attention of many immortals in the Observance Heaven City.
It would be difficult to not raise any attention if a mere Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor lasted so long in a battlefield that belonged to a group of Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors.
For a moment, more and more people began to discuss Chang Yang in the city.
The Observance Heaven City provided the eleven people with a relatively longer period of rest before the battle for the top six. It was an entire half a year.
The eleven competitors all returned to the Observance Heaven City temporarily.
At the same time, numerous Immortal Exalts swaggered into the Observance Heaven City after paying varying sums of five-coloured immortal crystals.
These Immortal Exalts all originated from the organisations behind the ten other Immortal Emperors. They brought high level God Tier heavenly resources or recovery pills with them, doing their best to assist the ten Immortal Emperors in returning to their peak condition.
As a matter of fact, some of the Immortal Exalts had even used supreme secret techniques to assist the recovery of their Immortal Emperors at the cost of their own health.
The post in the Observance Heaven City was a tremendous opportunity to reach Immortal Exalt. Even though the opportunity was extremely difficult to obtain, the peak organisations of the Immortals’ World were willing to invest everything into this even if there was only a one-in-a-million chance.
It was far too difficult to reach Immortal Exalt.
However, once they did reach Immortal Exalt, then they would stand among the ranks of the peak.
To any organisation, even the courts of heaven with long-spanning heritages, an additional Immortal Exalt held extremely great significance.
