Chapter 3693: The Way Out
Chapter 3693: The Way Out
The ones remaining were Xiang Bai, elder Jiang, and a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor great elder.
The three of them had managed to survive, but it was not because of how powerful they were. Instead, there was an element of luck involved.
But despite that, the three of them were still affected by the attack. They were heavily injured, leaving them extremely feeble.
The colossal spatial crack over the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants refused to close up. Chaotic Force was far too violent and powerful. It temporarily prevented the ways of the world from mending the crack.
Jian Chen tottered around. He was covered in blood; his presence was feeble. He was extremely haggard.
The backlash from the fusion of the twin swords did not just leave him with physical damage but also injuries to his soul.
Under the healing of the Source of Life, his physical injuries were nothing, but he could only find another way to heal the wounds to his soul.
“Is this the power of the fusion of the twin swords? Sure enough, it’s absolutely terrifying.” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt hid in the distance and trembled gently.
Even though this power was still quite far off from being capable of killing Grand Exalts, it still shook him internally.
Jian Chen shone with a faint, green light. The Source of Life rapidly repaired Jian Chen’s body. He slowly drifted down from above, arriving before Xiang Bai and the other two.
The three of them had already fallen out of the sky. At this moment, they lay on the top of a severed mountain powerlessly. They stared at Jian Chen in both shock and fury.
“The Azulet swords have re-emerged. A-a-are you that old bastard’s successor?” Xiang Bai stared at Jian Chen with seething hatred as he ground his teeth.
Elder Jiang stared at Jian Chen for a while. Afterwards, he gradually became dazed as if he had lost his soul. He murmured subconsciously, “The Azulet swords… it’s actually the Azulet swords. They’ve vanished for over three million years, but they’ve still returned in the end.”
Reaching there, elder Jiang seemed to think of something. Suddenly, he began to laugh foolishly. “Successor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, you don’t have many days left. You won’t live for much longer. Hahahaha, if you had remained discreet the entire time, probably no one in the Immortals’ World would know about the Azulet swords’ existence, but you just had to expose the twin swords here.”
“Even though the presence of the twin swords did not spread beyond here due to the protection of the sect’s formation, our ancestors will return in three years’ time at most. It’s impossible for the presence of the twin swords after fusing to vanish in three short years.”
“Haha-cough, cough, cough. Successor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, you may have killed us today, but as long as the ancestors of our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants are around, we will rise up again one day. Meanwhile, the only thing awaiting you is being hunted down.”
When he heard that, Jian Chen smiled mysteriously and said, “You underestimate me too much. Since I’m bold enough to fuse the twin swords here, I obviously have a way to erase the lingering traces and presence here. Don’t worry, once you’re dead, your ancestors won’t learn about the twin swords even if they return.”
“As a matter of fact, they won’t even know who destroyed the sect.”
When he heard that, elder Jiang’s expression suddenly stiffened.
In the next moment, there were three flashes, and the three surviving great elders of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants all perished.
Afterwards, Jian Chen arrived among the ruins of the central divine hall and found the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains as he wished.
The three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains had all shrunken to a metre in height. They seemed like three regular boulders. Fortunately, he did not leave any marks on them. The chaotic sword Qi produced from the fusion of the twin swords did not land on the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains.
Apart from the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains, Jian Chen also found an oil lamp of white jade in the ruins. He could sense a great threat from it.
“This should be the final trump card of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.” Looking at the oil lamp that radiated with shocking ripples of energy, Jian Chen was extremely solemn.
However, now was not the time to study the oil lamp. He stowed the oil lamp away in the Primeval Divine Hall carefully and continued searching through the ruins of the central divine hall.
Gradually, Space Rings ended up in Jian Chen’s possession one after another. He checked through each Space Ring patiently.
In the end, he finally found two relatively special tablets in the pile of Space Rings.
Afterwards, he also found two similar tablets in Xiang Bai and Xiang Zhan’s Space Rings.
In the end, he also took out the tablet he had obtained from Xiang Zhiru.
The five tablets represented the five branches of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
“The five tablets have been assembled. The issue of getting out of here has been resolved as well.” Jian Chen smiled faintly as he looked at the five tablets in his hand.
The Heavenly Talisman Venerable had told him some secrets regarding the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. He had also told Jian Chen the method for leaving.
He needed to gather the tablets of the five branches. He could use them to control the opening of the protective formation.
However, Jian Chen was not in a hurry to leave. He contacted the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall and made it let out elder Nong and elder Chen.
“Sect master, where is this place?” Elder Nong and elder Chen both stared at the mess in the surroundings in confusion. They could clearly sense Jian Chen’s weakness, which left them stern.
“This is the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants,” Jian Chen looked at the two of them with a faint smile.
“What? This is the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?” When they heard that, both elder Nong and elder Chen paled in fright, subconsciously raising their guard.
The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was a tremendous existence that had stood supreme on the Reverent Observance Heaven for over a million years. Every mention of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants could lead to an emotional response from every single person on the heaven.
“Don’t panic. Apart from the seven ancestors and a few disciples who are currently outside, everyone else from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has perished. From today onwards, it can be said that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants only stands on the Reverent Observance Heaven in name.” Jian Chen’s next words left elder Nong and elder Chen dazed.
“There’s still a tremendous amount of resources in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Elder Nong, elder Chen, I’ll have the Immortal Devouring Orchid and the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt work with you. Don’t miss anything that can be taken away,” Jian Chen said to the two of them.
After a good moment, elder Nong and elder Chen finally recovered from this startling news. They accepted the reality of the destruction of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants after some effort despite feeling shaken up.
Afterwards, under Jian Chen’s arrangements, elder Nong, elder Chen, the Immortal Devouring Orchid, and the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt visited various places and began collecting all the resources.
Even though the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants covered a vast area and possessed many resources, it was not particularly difficult to empty out the place with two Immortal Monarchs and two Immortal Exalts at work personally.
After all, to powerful immortals, even moving mountains and filling up oceans was a piece of cake.
On top of that, they had the Immortal Devouring Orchid assisting them. Even if they encountered any powerful formations, they could deal with them with ease.
After they left, Jian Chen immediately swayed and fell back on his bottom among the ruins of the divine hall. His face paled even further.
“The backlash from the fusion of the twin swords is growing stronger and stronger. My injuries this time are even more severe than when I killed the phoenix in the Xuanhuang Microcosm.” Jian Chen smiled wryly as he sat on the ground weakly.
He had the Source of Life, so his body was fine, but his soul was extremely feeble.
