Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3927: Second Strike of the Formation

The Immortal Emperor did not give Jing Mumu the opportunity to answer. It seemed that in his eyes, a cultivator as weak as Jing Mumu did not even have the right to speak to him.

Up against an Immortal Emperor, Jing Mumu was completely powerless. Despite possessing the Sword Constitution of Soul Connection and the Sword Immortal constitution, as well as the Nine Limits Saint’s powerful legacy, it was nowhere near enough to make up for the tremendous chasm that existed between an Immortal Emperor and her.

However, right when the Immortal Emperor was about to touch Jing Mumu, his body suddenly stiffened. All of his movements came to an instant halt.

A tiny tendril, as thin as a needle, was already deeply embedded in his forehead. Even though the tendril was very small, it possessed terrifying power before any Immortal Emperor. It had instantly destroyed his soul.

On the other end of the tiny tendril was Jing Mumu’s wrist.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid coiled around Jing Mumu’s wrist had struck out silently, effortlessly killing the Immortal Emperor.

“Little Mumu, this person was after you. Despite being an Immortal Emperor, he actually lowered himself to the level of laying his hands on you, which can only mean one thing—they wanted to capture you and use you against master.” The Immortal Devouring Orchid communicated. It was unable to speak, but it obviously possessed its unique method of communication.

Shortly afterwards, the Immortal Devouring Orchid swallowed the Immortal Emperor’s corpse in a single gulp.

Jing Mumu was stern. Her face was filled with worry. “Master must be in trouble. Little Grass, we need to move faster.”

“Little Mumu, you don’t have to worry too much. I understand master’s abilities better than you. Although there are many cultivators with higher cultivation than master, there really is no one who can threaten him.” The Immortal Devouring Orchid comforted Jing Mumu.

Apart from this Immortal Emperor, Jing Mumu encountered several more waves of people trying to stop her. There were both Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors. Even some Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals took part.

Without any exception, they were all slain by the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

In the Skyscraping World, Jing Mumu’s cultivation was the lowest. As for everyone else, even the weakest were Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. As a result, she had no opportunity to fight here.

Two days later, Jing Mumu finally reached the staircase that led to the top of the mountain under the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s directions.

The spiritual Qi here was dense, so visibility was reduced to two hundred kilometres. Jing Mumu circulated her energy and climbed up the steps with great agility.

“Stop!”

At this moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid suddenly called out to Jing Mumu. It made Jing Mumu wait where she was before immediately sliding off her wrist and vanishing into the distance.

Very soon, the Immortal Devouring Orchid came back and returned to Jing Mumu’s wrist. “Let’s move slowly. There are a lot of formations blocking the path up ahead. With my ability, I can’t breach them, so we won’t be able to cross them…”

......

…

“Master, all of the disciples have recovered. The Divine Formation of the Heavens can be used again.” At this moment, Jian Chen finally received the Primeval artifact spirit’s message as he fled quickly.

The message was like beautiful music to Jian Chen’s ears. He could not help but smile. “What are we waiting for then? Get the disciples to assemble the formation immediately!”

The Divine Formation of the Heavens required some time to prepare. After all, it was a colossal formation that took several tens of thousand people to assemble. It was very difficult to assemble instantly.

However, it was possible to assemble the Divine Formation of the Heavens in the Primeval Divine Hall first. Once it was ready to be activated, it could be transported out in the exact same shape through the powers of the divine hall.

At this moment, Zuo Dao of the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens appeared in front of Jian Chen. He sat on a boulder and seemed to have no plans on getting involved.

Right when Jian Chen shot past him, his lips moved, communicating to Jian Chen, “Fellow Yang Yutian, the path off the mountain has already become covered with formations. Do be careful…”

When he heard that, Jian Chen’s eyes shone brightly. Shortly afterwards, he changed directions, gripping the seed of ways and directly making his way towards the stone steps.

Before long, a long staircase appeared in his view. It was like a bridge that connected the earth to the heavens, shimmering within the thick mist.

Jian Chen stopped several kilometres away from the stone steps. He stared ahead in interest. From the seemingly-empty space, he could clearly sense a vague pressure.

“Looks like they want to trap me on the mountain peak and prevent me from going down to the lower regions,” Jian Chen said to himself. The presence from the seed of ways in his hand was slowly weakening. The other Immortal Exalts obviously detected this change as well.

“Unfortunately, all of their arrangements are for nothing. Instead, they wasted the precious materials for the formations.” Jian Chen sneered. The Divine Formation of the Heavens was growing stronger with each passing day. It had already become his greatest trump card for overcoming any obstacles.

Apart from fusing the twin swords, the Divine Formation of the Heavens had already become his greatest method of attack. It could rival late Immortal Exalts!

“Master!” At this moment, a call rang out.

Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly peered down the steps. Around two hundred kilometres away, a figure was hidden in the thick mist, gazing at him through the formations.

It was Jing Mumu!

Seeing her after all this time, a hint of gentleness finally appeared in Jian Chen’s cold eyes, as well as some adoration.

She was his disciple after all. She was the first disciple he had accepted since he began cultivating, as well as his only disciple!

“Dear disciple, back away! Get away from here!” Jian Chen said with a smile.

When she saw Jian Chen, Jing Mumu’s face was filled with surprise and joy. She opened her mouth and wanted to keep speaking, but the Immortal Devouring Orchid seemed to know what Jian Chen was trying to do. It retreated rapidly without saying anything, backing far away.

“Yang Yutian, we’ve already blocked off the path off the mountain. We’d like to see just how long you can flee for…”

“Yang Yutian, stop wasting your energy and just surrender yourself…”

“The terrifying formation you possess can’t launch a second strike anymore. Yang Yutian, hand over everything on you. That way, you still might have a chance at survival…”

Very soon, several dozen Immortal Exalts swarmed over. Their eyes all burned with greed.

The huge temptation of a sovereign god artifact had already made many of them virtually lose their common sense. Even if they had to risk their lives, they would still fight for it.

This was a tremendous opportunity that could change the fate of an Immortal Exalt.

Jian Chen looked at the expert who arrived here first. “Profound Spirit Master, you injured Immortal Exalt Tan Yu who travelled with me outside the Skyscraping World. After entering the Skyscraping World, you had ill intentions and came after me multiple times. You even said that you would capture my disciple to threaten me.”

“Since you want to get in my way at every turn, I’ll kill you no matter what this time.”

“You want to kill me? Hahahaha, you sure know how to boast. Yang Yutian, I’m a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Unless you can use that formation again, what are you going to use to kill me?” The Profound Spirit Master laughed aloud. He stared at Jian Chen with a burning gaze and said, “However, I refuse to believe that the formation can deliver a second attack in such a short amount of time.”

Despite saying that, caution still flashed through the depths of the Profound Spirit Master’s eyes. He was already prepared to retreat at any time. Despite his burning greed, he had not truly lost his mind.

Jian Chen’s eyes were cold. He had already passed a secret order to the Primeval artifact spirit!

In the next moment, the power of the Primeval Divine Hall appeared. All of the disciples who had already assembled the Divine Formation of the Heavens were transported out in the exact same positions.

Immediately, devastating might surged above Jian Chen’s head. The Divine Formation of the Heavens assembled from several tens of thousand disciples shone with dazzling light. The devastating presence flooded the surroundings, immediately frightening these Immortal Exalts out of their wits.

However, before they could respond, the Divine Formation of the Heavens had already launched its startling strike. A blinding beam of light rained down like judgment from the heavens with a destructive presence, directly targeting the Profound Spirit Master.
