Chapter 3964: One After Another
“Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor. I’d like to see how you protect this kid now. Do you really think the power you left behind can contend against the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor?” On the other side, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor said with a hint of complacency. He seemed completely unconcerned.
In this battle between their Immortal Feather sect and the Heavenly Star Palace, it was still their Immortal Feather sect that had the slight upper hand at the end of the day.
Victory would mean a sovereign god artifact that could basically heal him indefinitely!
The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor was indeed extremely interested in this sovereign god artifact, as it could drastically strengthen his battle prowess. It could even make his battle prowess change in a leap.
At their realm of cultivation, every tiny step of progress came with tremendous difficulty, as they had basically reached the limit already. Unless they crossed the final gap and became Grand Exalts, they basically struggled to grow stronger.
As a result, the appearance of the Source of Life tempted the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor very much. He had to obtain it no matter the cost.
“I didn’t want to do this. Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, you forced me,” the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor said sternly. With a flip of his hand, an exquisite, palm-size jade sword appeared in his hand.
When the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor noticed the jade sword, his eyes immediately narrowed slightly. He cried out, “That is… the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance’s presence…”
“That’s right, this is indeed the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance’s keepsake. I didn’t want to invite the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance over here, but with everything that has occurred so far, I have no other choice,” the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor said sternly before crushing the small jade sword in his hand without any hesitation.
From the moment the tiny sword shattered, the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance sensed it from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords that was extremely distant.
The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor fell silent. The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance’s name seemed to influence him greatly, causing him very great pressure.
When he faced the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor could remain relaxed, facing him with composure. However, when he faced the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor felt wariness, deep wariness.
From the twelve courts of heaven, if there was anyone that the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor was so wary about, then it would be the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance.
Even Daowei Fatian’s influence on the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor came nowhere close until he became a Grand Exalt.
......
…
In the depths of the sea of stars, a shooting star shot through the pitch-black darkness, flying off into the distance with unbelievable speed.
The shooting star was obviously the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power.
At this moment, inside the star condensed from tremendous power, Jian Chen was entirely immobilised. He could not even budge a finger. He could only watch helplessly as the surrounding galaxies receded around him.
Under the protection of the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power, he rapidly left the region around the Skyscraping World.
But despite that, Jian Chen found no peace at all. Instead, intense danger bubbled inside him, growing stronger and stronger.
He did not know where the danger came from. Even when he released the senses of his soul, pushing it to the limits, he found nothing.
If the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power was not there, Jian Chen would have activated the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and the mask of the Illusionary Daemon race before fleeing with the Laws of Space. As long as he was far away enough, he believed that even Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts would struggle to find him as long as he did not appear directly in their view.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do right now. The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power protected him, but it also restrained him.
“You’re a mere Immortal Emperor, yet you’ve set off a battle between the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor and the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor. Kid, what exactly did you do to make the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor so furious that he’d be willing to use up the favour I owed him to capture you?”
Right when Jian Chen was confused by the strange sense of danger, an elderly voice rang out from extremely far behind as if it could travel through space.
The voice came from the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor.
The Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor did not know about what had happened in the Skyscraping World. Time was too tight, giving him no opportunity to peer into it. As a result, he was filled with curiosity and confusion as he pursued Jian Chen.
However, the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor’s voice made Jian Chen’s heart tighten. The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power was unable to shake off this person?
“I actually have to personally chase down an Immortal Emperor. Given my identity, that is indeed very embarrassing, but upon the thought that I can pay back the favour I owe the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor from back then, it’ll be all for the best. Hahahaha…”
“Kid, you can’t escape. Even if you have the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power taking you away, that’s just power left behind by him. That power alone can’t shake me off.”
“But you have nothing to worry about. I won’t harm you. I’ll only capture and hand you to the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor to pay back the favour I owe him…” the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor said with ease from behind.
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power was already weakening. Jian Chen was slowing down and could not last for too long.
At this moment, using the glow of the starlight, Jian Chen captured a distant figure striding through the space behind him. The distance between them rapidly shortened.
Jian Chen was stern. He knew this person’s strength was definitely beyond imagination to be able to catch up to the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power. Even though he did not know who he was, he was definitely even more powerful than a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt like the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt.
An expert like that was well beyond what he could deal with.
But right now, there was nothing that Jian Chen could do. Unless the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power ran out, there was nothing he was capable of.
The Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor was already getting closer and closer to Jian Chen. He was about to enter the range of Jian Chen’s senses of the soul. However, due to the overwhelming difference in cultivation, he still could not capture the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor’s existence.
But suddenly, Jian Chen felt the looming danger vanish. When he looked behind him using the starlight, the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor’s figure was already gone.
At this moment, the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor hovered in the sea of stars, staring ahead with furrowed eyebrows. There was a hint of wariness in his elderly gaze.
A middle-aged woman in black hovered before the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor. Her presence was not powerful, only a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
However, a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor had made the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor come to a halt, facing her carefully.
“Senior Universe Breaching, you are the paramount ancestor of the Tower of Myriad Ways of the twelve courts of heaven. With such a lofty status, why are you personally chasing down an Immortal Emperor junior?” The woman in black looked at the Universe Breaching Immortal Emperor calmly. Even though she referred to him as her senior, there was no sense of respect in her words at all. It seemed more like she was conversing with an equal.
“I am also curious, Daowei Huanru. Why are you here? Don’t tell me it’s also for that little guy?” The Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor was cautious, as both the strength and background of the person before him was not something that he could ignore.
The woman in black who blocked the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor was the second ancestor of the Waymight clan, Daowei Huanru!
“That’s right. I did indeed come for that little guy,” said the Illusionary Ancestor.
When he heard that, the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor immediately became pained. “That little guy sure is full of surprises. Not only did he cause a battle between the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor and the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, but even you’ve come in person. Looks like the favour I owe to Soaring Immortal isn’t that easy to return.”
“It’s true that the favour you owe to the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor isn’t that easy to return. At the very least, you won’t be returning it this time,” said the Illusionary Ancestor.
“Even your Waymight clan has come, so I obviously won’t be able to return the favour. Our Tower of Myriad Worlds is not bold enough to displease your Waymight clan.” The Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor smiled wryly. In the past, the Waymight clan had also been one of the twelve courts of heaven. They could hold each other back, but they did not fear one another.
But now, across the entire Immortals’ World, who was bold enough to provoke the Waymight clan!
The Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor was very decisive. He said nothing more, turning around and returning. He did not even want to know the reason behind this.
That was because he had already sensed a surging sword intent hidden in the surroundings. It was so powerful that it gave him chills.
