Jue Wenxian’s appearance also alarmed the last great elder of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. Another presence belonging to an Immortal Emperor radiated out. An elderly woman silently appeared beside him.
She was the great elder only second to Jue Wenxian in the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals, at the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor, the Old Monarch of Burial Mountain!
No one knew her true name because she always went by the Old Monarch of Burial Mountain!
The Old Monarch of Burial Mountain stood in a hunched posture. If it were not for the presence that she gave off, she seemed like an old lady with a foot in the grave already.
As soon as she appeared, she glanced past Jian Chen coldly and said hoarsely, “A Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor? That’s enough to be regarded as an expert on the Grand Sovereign Heaven, but you’ll be overestimating yourself a little if you think you can kill someone in the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals with just that.”
“Fellow, leave the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals immediately and apologise to us earnestly. We’ll forget about your offending actions if you do that.”
As she said that, the presence of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor erupted and crushed down on the space where Jian Chen was.
Jian Chen did not respond. Instead, the Immortal Devouring Flower coiled around his wrist expanded rapidly, turning into a gorgeous flower tens of thousand metres wide, looming over all of them. It radiated with the powerful energy of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
Immediately, both Jian Chen and the great elders from the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals seemed extremely insignificant before the colossal Immortal Devouring Orchid.
“Hmph, our Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals is not the like the Sword Sect of Flowing Light, the Immortal Sect of Great Peace, or the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union. If you want to make trouble in our Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals, your strength is nowhere near enough, sir.” Jue Wenxian snorted coldly. The presence of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor also radiated outwards, blocking the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s presence.
The presence from the three Immortal Emperors immediately created a startling storm in the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. The energy of the world surged violently. Many disciples of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals looked on from afar. They were all solemn.
“A person and a flower are actually enough for both great elder Jue and the Old Monarch of Burial Mountain to emerge from secluded cultivation. Just what kind of powerful enemy has our Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals provoked?”
“The daemon plant can actually contend against great elder Jue. It must be a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor! That’s a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor! They’re both a single step away from Immortal Exalt. Even on the entire Grand Sovereign Heaven, they’d be a supreme expert who possesses great renown.”
“Quick, order all of the disciples to back down. Once a battle between Immortal Emperors erupts, only we Immortal Monarchs can preserve our lives in the shockwaves. Lower level disciples will all end up as pointless casualties.”
None of the thirty-odd Immortal Monarchs gathered there ventured forward. Instead, they immediately organised the disciples to retreat, preparing for the worst.
They could not interfere with a battle between late Immortal Emperors.
On the other side, Jian Chen comforted the Immortal Devouring Orchid. He stared straight at the Immortal Emperors and said, “Lin Sui cursed several thousand disciples in the Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum to death. This debt of blood must be settled with blood. Earlier, considering how your Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals was never a part of it, I didn’t want to make enemies out of you. However, if you’re bent on your ways and insist on protecting Lin Sui, then I can only treat you as accomplices and eliminate you as well.”
The Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals did have a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt after all. Unless he had no other choice, Jian Chen really did not want to treat the entire Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals as a mortal enemy.
“Eliminate us as well? Hahaha, alright, alright, alright. You sure know how to talk big. Let’s see whether you have the strength or not.” Jue Wenxian laughed out of anger. The energy in his body erupted as the laws descended. He struck out immediately, sending a palm strike towards Jian Chen.
The palm strike contained all of his might as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. Even though he did not use a god artifact, he did not hold back, erupting with his full strength.
He wanted to use his absolute strength to overwhelm Jian Chen.
Jian Chen was unfazed. Even though he felt like he was in the middle of a storm right now, he did not move at all, standing as still as a mountain.
In the next moment, he formed a sword with his fingers and slashed down through the space.
His actions bore the power of the Laws of Space, so he moved extremely quickly.
Before Jue Wenxian’s hand that was imbued with his energy and laws could reach Jian Chen, his complexion changed drastically as blood sprayed out from mouth without any prior signs.
At that instant, Jue Wenxian’s presence plummeted. He was enfeebled as he widened his eyes and stared at Jian Chen in disbelief and deep shock.
Immediately, all seven great elders of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals were stunned. They stared at Jue Wenxian in astoundment.
None of them had noticed how Jue Wenxian was injured, nor could they see any injuries on him.
As a matter of fact, the slash that Jian Chen delivered did not even land on Jue Wenxian in their eyes.
Yet in the end, a mighty Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor like Jue Wenxian behaved like he was heavily injured.
At the same time, a terrifying power of devouring appeared. The Immortal Devouring Orchid took action as well. The centre of the gorgeous flower had already turned into a colossal black hole, shooting towards Jue Wenxian with lightning speed.
The power of devouring spread out, seemingly restraining the space and gripping Jue Wenxian’s body, preventing him from moving.
Jue Wenxian was shocked once again, staring at the Immortal Devouring Orchid in disbelief. He had never taken the Immortal Devouring Orchid seriously. After all, as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor as well, he had the confidence that he could kill it.
Right now, only when the Immortal Devouring Orchid truly took action did he deeply understand the strength and horrors of it. Just the suction made him feel like he could not break through. His vital energies seemed to lose control, devoured by the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
He felt like a weaker creature encountering a higher life form. It was an innate suppression!
The Immortal Devouring Orchid moved too quickly, so quickly that the seven other great elders of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals were unable to respond. Immediately, the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s colossal mouth arrived over Jue Wenxian’s head.
Right when Jue Wenxian was about to be swallowed by the Immortal Devouring Orchid, an old man in white robes appeared silently. As he swung his hand, he seemed to mobilise the great power of the entire world, forming a terrifying tide of energy that collided with the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s gaping mouth.
Boom!
With a great rumble, a terrifying energy storm swept through the entire Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. The Immortal Devouring Orchid’s colossal figure was easily blown away.
At the same time, the old man in white robes who had suddenly appeared formed a seal with his hands and extended a finger. The surroundings immediately rippled as a transparent barrier appeared, enveloping the surroundings and containing all of the energy storms.
The barrier seemed paper-thin, but it possessed extremely great defenses. The energy storm that was enough to destroy the entire Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals slammed into the barrier, yet it completely failed to shake it.
“Greetings, ancestor!”
The eight great elders of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals finally noticed the old man in white robes at this moment. All of their faces became filled with respect as they bowed together.
