Chapter 3705: Seething Rage
Chapter 3705: Seething Rage
The sight of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants that they were familiar with was long gone. The towering spiritual mountains that originally stood there and the many structures had already vanished.
Huge cracks sprawled over the ground, together with bottomless pits left behind by battle.
The abundant spiritual Qi that used to fill the entire sect had been drained, without a single drop remaining.
The heavenly resources that covered entire mountains were without a shadow to be seen as well. The many spiritual veins buried in the ground had all been unearthed and taken away.
In short, the sect before the eyes of the ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had already been reduced to ruins.
In the air, the ancestors who had just returned all widened their eyes, staring at the ground below in disbelief. Their breathing gradually turned heavy.
“W-w-what happened? W-why has the sect turned out like this?”
“Where are they? Where are the people of the sect? Our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has over a million disciples, so where are they? Where have they all gone?”
Two ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants murmured in a daze, but in the next moment, they seemed to think of something horrifying. Their faces immediately paled, without a drop of blood left.
At this moment, the other ancestors seemed to realise something as well. They erupted with icy-cold killing intent that seemed to originate from the depths of hell.
Immediately, the surroundings seemed to collapse. The entire space there seemed to plunge into a cavern of ice. It was chilling.
At this moment, the killing intent from the ancestors was so powerful that even other Immortal Exalts would waver as a result and feel fear.
Outside the protective formation of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the several dozen disciples who had returned to the sect all curled up in extreme fear.
The frigid killing intent simultaneously released by the Immortal Exalt ancestors made the several dozen Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal disciples feel like their souls were about to freeze.
“Argh! Who! Who did this!? Who destroyed the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?”
Suddenly, one of the ancestors let out a furious howl. His powerful presence tore through the air, turning it into darkness.
He was the strongest ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, an expert who had lived for many years. In the current day and age, everyone knew his name. They all referred to him as the Space-splitting Venerable.
The Space-splitting Venerable was a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!
Following the Space-splitting Venerable, the other ancestors all erupted with their presences as well. They howled out furiously and charged into the sect like they had gone mad, searching the place.
Powerful senses of the soul swept through the entire Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants like invisible storms before plunging deep into the ground and carrying out a fine search.
But in the end, apart from the Dragon Blood Fish, there were no more signs of life in the entire sect.
All of the disciples of the sect had already vanished. Only the traces of blood that had already dried scattered throughout the mountains and forests seemed to spell out something.
However, the seven ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were already aware that all of their disciples had died. Apart from the several dozen disciples outside, there were none left.
“Argh!” An ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants stood on the top of a mountain. He clutched a handful of dust in sorrow and fury.
The handful of dust was the remnants of the countless disciples that Jian Chen had slain with the ultimate will.
Suddenly, the laws rippled, and the ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants used their great powers to gaze into the past.
However, all traces had been erased. There was no history remaining. There were no techniques that could undo that.
Their sect had been destroyed, but they did not even know who was behind it, which drove the ancestors mad. They began seeing blood. The terrible news made them transform without control. Several colossal elephants several thousand metres tall rampaged along the ground, stomping everywhere and producing deafening booms.
At that moment, the entire Reverent Observance Heaven shook.
The many organisations on the Reverent Observance Heaven finally noticed what had happened with the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. More and more senses of the soul gathered above the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Immortal Emperors and Immortal Exalts had begun investigating with the senses of their souls.
However, after learning about what had happened to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, all of the experts on the Reverent Observance Heaven were startled. Despite their composure and mental fortitude, they were all swayed by the news.
“The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has been destroyed? Just who is bold enough to do something like that?”
“The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has the backing of the Sacred Beast clan. Despite such a powerful backing, someone is still bold enough to be this vicious to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
“That’s almost like annihilation. After all, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is no ordinary sect. The disciples of regular sects are recruited externally and are relatively easy to replace. However, all of the disciples in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants come from the Elephant clan. It’s an organisation based around a race. With these disciples dead, trying to replace them is anything but easy.”
“The person behind this sure was vicious.”
......
…
Figures appeared one by one above the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Many Immortal Exalts had arrived, more than twenty in total.
They hovered in the air and gazed down silently. They were all stern.
At this moment, the remaining several dozen disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants entered the sect, but they were all dumbfounded when they saw the situation inside.
“Tell me, during the years we were gone, what exactly happened in the sect?” The strongest ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the Space-splitting Venerable, appeared before the remaining disciples like he had teleported. His tremendous presence left the disciples who were Immortal Monarchs at most breathless.
“Ancestor, w-w-we don’t know anything…”
The several dozen disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were all frightened out of their wits. They trembled as they stood there.
“The sect has already been destroyed, yet you actually know nothing at all? Trash, you’re basically a bunch of trash. What’s the point of keeping you around?” One of the ancestors, a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, flew into a rage at the disciple who spoke up. He directly crushed him to paste with his hand.
The other disciples immediately fell utterly silent as fear welled up inside them.
In the end, it was an Immortal Monarch elder who built up the courage to say, “Please calm down, ancestor Ling. Please calm down. Before the sect was destroyed, some incidents did indeed happen.”
Afterwards, the elder told them about some things that had occurred before the destruction of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. However, due to his limited status, the Immortal Monarch elder was unaware about some of the secrets involved.
However, all of the clues from what he said pointed towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
“What? The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? That’s absurd. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens can be destroyed with a flick of our finger. How can it even shake our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?” Ancestor Ling of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants growled.
“Ancestor Ling, you might not be aware, but in the recent millennium, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has changed very drastically. It’s said that a few years ago, our sect seemed to suffer at the hands of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but I do not know the exact details,” the Immortal Monarch elder said carefully.
Before he had even finished talking, the strongest ancestor, the Space-splitting Venerable, had already vanished. With just a few steps, he crossed a great distance and personally arrived at the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
