Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3721: The Battle in Outer Space

In an instant, most of the Immortal Exalts on the Reverent Observance Heaven were gone. They had all ventured deep into space.

Battles at the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt were already rare in the Immortals’ World. Coupled with their special backgrounds, where one came from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords from the twelve courts of heaven and the other came from the Vermillion Bird imperial clan of the Sacred Beast clan, the significance of this battle had become extraordinary.

From a certain perspective, this could be regarded as another clash between the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords and the Sacred Beast clan.

Of course, there was the most important part—those at weaker cultivations could obtain a certain level of inspiration from the battle between those at higher cultivations, benefitting their cultivation to a certain degree.

The battle unfolded deep in outer space, far away from the Reverent Observance Heaven. Gazing in the direction of the Reverent Observance Heaven from here, only a tiny speck of light was present, glimmering within the cold and dark space.

They had completely left the Reverent Observance Heaven already.

Energy surged through outer space, ripping open colossal cracks after colossal cracks. Even the laws of the world that wove through the place seemed to be shaken up by the terrifying energy.

The Sword Heart Ancestor had already engaged Nanming Yuyan of the Vermillion Bird clan in a great battle. A ball of blinding light wove together with a raging sea of fire. With each clash, it would produce a deafening boom that could shake the stars.

Neither of them were regular experts. They both came from ancient organisations that had produced Grand Exalts. The bloodline of Grand Exalts flowed through them, and they practised the secret techniques created by Grand Exalts. Their battle prowess completely surpassed their peers at the same cultivation.

As a result, although one of them had half a step in the Eighth Heavenly Layer and the other was at the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer, the disturbance and destruction they created as they fought resembled two Eighth Heavenly Layer experts.

Many people had already gathered silently in the distance. All of them were Immortal Exalts from the Reverent Observance Heaven. They did not approach them, instead choosing to observe from a safe distance.

Even the five commanders and the three city lords of the Observance Heaven City were present.

Even some Immortal Emperors had followed along with these Immortal Exalts.

“City lord Jiang, who do you think will emerge victoriously in the end, the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords or the Vermillion Bird clan?” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi of the five commanders arrived beside Jiang Pingtian’s side. He posed this question politely with his fist clasped.

Jiang Pingtian stared straight at the battle and said, “From how it seems right now, Sword Heart has the firm upper hand. Nanming Yuyan of the Vermillion Bird clan doesn’t stand a chance against Sword Heart at all in direct combat. After all, he has overcome his shackles and already stepped into the Eighth Heavenly Layer. Even though he’s still in the process of transitioning from the Seventh Heavenly Layer to the Eighth Heavenly Layer, a colossal difference has still appeared between him and the Seventh Heavenly Layer.”

“But Nanming Yuyan was still bold enough to challenge Sword Heart under these circumstances, which means she must have something she can rely on, so it really is difficult to say what the final outcome will be.”

There was a hint of worry on Jiang Pingtian’s face. His gaze was locked firmly on Sword Heart who moved about rapidly.

Inside, his hopes leaned towards the Sword Heart Ancestor winning this battle.

Suddenly, there was a great thrum in outer space as a terrifying pressure swept out. A tremendous strand of sword Qi lit up and tore through space, severing the stars and hurtling towards Nanming Yuyan with devastating might.

The sword Qi was far too powerful, cleaving through the endless flames like it was unstoppable and shattering Nanming Yuyan’s various secret techniques. It enveloped her instantly.

At that moment, the Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt Nanming Yuyan seemed so feeble before the startling attack.

“What a powerful attack!”

Countless experts were stunned. The Space-splitting Venerable from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants demonstrated unprecedented grimness as well.

The attack launched by the Sword Heart Ancestor now was even stronger than the three attacks he had received earlier.

“He only has half a foot in the Eighth Heavenly Layer, but Sword Heart’s strength has increased tremendously already. Coupled with the sharpness and forcefulness of the Way of the Sword, as well as the various legacies of a court of heaven… this Sword Heart’s strength has already reached a height beyond my imaginations,” the Space-splitting Venerable thought.

Their Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had also produced a Grand Exalt in the past, but unfortunately, the Grand Exalt’s bloodline in their bodies had already become extremely thin under the merciless passage of time. Meanwhile, the Grand Exalt’s legacy had died out a long time ago.

“What a little Sword Heart. You’re actually this powerful. I sure have underestimated you.” Nanming Yuyan giggled. Despite already losing the upper hand and almost being completely overwhelmed by Sword Heart, she was still composed, without any signs of panic.

In the next moment, the small umbrella over her head opened up. The interior of the umbrella seemed to be a world of its own, nurturing an endless sea of divine fire. As the umbrella unfurled, ferocious flames sprayed out in a great wave, condensing into a colossal vermillion bird of fire that immediately swallowed the sword Qi from the Sword Heart Ancestor with a sky of fire.

At that moment, the space was incinerated as everything was reduced to ash. The fire seemed to be able to melt everything in the world.

As the heat waves spread through outer space, even some of the Immortal Exalts that were already sufficiently far away found it unbearable, retreating once again through the sea of stars.

But in the next moment, sword Qi slashed through the world, slicing the vermillion bird in half. The sword Qi continued onwards without weakening, bearing resolute sword intent and shooting towards Nanming Yuyan like it could not be stopped.

However, right when the attack was about to reach Nanming Yuyan, roaring flames suddenly surged out from her eyes. With a clear cry, she immediately changed into her original form, turning into a vermillion bird that stood less than ten metres tall, bathing in divine flames.

This was her strongest battle state!

She fanned her wings. A surging sea of fire appeared in the space there, shining with golden light that flooded towards the incoming sword Qi like a terrifying solar storm.

However, the sword Qi was even more powerful than Nanming Yuyan had imagined. It basically could not be stopped. It burst through all of her attacks and shot past one of her wings.

Blood sprayed out in outer space. Each droplet of blood contained startling power.

A hole had already appeared in Nanming Yuyan’s plumage.

Her plumage had already been pierced. All of her blood and flesh vanished, having been ground away by the sword Qi.

Nanming Yuyan’s eyes turned cold. After suffering an injury, she seemed even more viscous than before.

“Fire Rain of Annihilation!” Suddenly, Nanming Yuyan cried out. A startling energy seeped out of her body, surging into the small umbrella violently. The several dozen feathers on the umbrella quickly broke free from the shaft, shooting through outer space with enough force to annihilate the space there while burning with fire like colossal meteors.

Each feather originated from a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. The dense power of laws within them could easily heavily injure or even directly kill regular Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.

At this moment, several dozen feathers shot out at the same time. Even Eighth Heavenly Layer experts could probably only dodge the attack.

The Sword Heart Ancestor was unfazed. His sword erupted with light as he immediately thrust out several dozen times.
