Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 4001: The Crown Prince Arrives

When they heard the voice, the Immortal Exalts all let out slight sighs of relief. They were only mid Immortal Exalts. The existence of heavenly emperors gave them very great mental pressure.

Although they were all prepared to steal from the mouth of a tiger in order to obtain Jian Chen’s sovereign god artifact, all of them would still be fearful if they actually had to face a heavenly emperor.

“The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor is locked in combat against the Dungeon Demon God. He can’t break free. That’s extremely fortunate for us…” A Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt sighed, but very soon, his face changed. He cried out, “Oh no, Yang Yutian has escaped!”

At this moment, all traces of Jian Chen had already vanished from the surroundings, clearly having hidden away already. If they did not force him out of hiding immediately, then they would basically lose all hope of finding him.

“Hmph, he’s just a mere Immortal Emperor. If he manages to slip away with all of us here, we’d be utterly humiliated,” said an Immortal Exalt in black robes. His tremendous energy erupted. Just the terrifying presence he gave off made the region of ten million kilometres twist violently.

“Eight Directions Destruction!” the old man in black bellowed out furiously. He used a secret technique. Terrifying energy turned into a visible shockwave, instantly spreading to several billion kilometres away, shaking up the region.

However, despite interfering with a very large range of space, he still did not see Jian Chen.

The Space-splitting Venerable also flew into a fury. He had heard far too much about Jian Chen’s rumours. Maybe he did not know about all of Jian Chen’s chronicles in the Skyscraping World, but he did know about most of it. As a result, he was acutely aware that if he let this person slip away, finding him again would be even harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Afterwards, the Space-splitting Venerable also began launching attacks furiously. His pressure as a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt erupted fearlessly, destroying the space again and again in an attempt to force out the hiding Jian Chen.

The other Immortal Exalts did not idle around either. They scattered across the various regions of space. All of them were frantic, unable to hide the panic in their eyes. They all attacked the space furiously, leading to powerful shockwaves that destroyed entire clouds of meteors.

However, after searching through the surroundings with their combined efforts, they still failed to find Jian Chen.

When they saw this, their faces all became sunken. In particular, the Space-splitting Venerable’s eyes were filled with a reluctance to accept this.

They were forced to accept a brutal truth. Jian Chen had already escaped from their control.

Lu Wujin hovered in the sea of stars with the Way-bearing blade in hand. He scanned the surrounding space with a strange colour in his eyes and murmured, “This hiding ability truly is terrifying. It is no wonder that even the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor had to take action personally in order to find him.”

“But this is good too. I don’t have to offend these people now…”

After muttering that to himself, Lu Wujin turned around and returned to the Observance Heaven City.

“Has Yang Yutian really escaped?”

“An Immortal Emperor actually managed to escape successfully even with so many Immortal Exalts intercepting him. How unbelievable…”

“Jian Chen’s hiding ability is far too powerful. If we hadn’t destroyed the space and forced him out multiple times, he probably would have fled a long time ago. Once he vanishes, even the senses of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt’s soul can’t find anything. He can hide away flawlessly…”

“Let alone a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, probably even a heavenly emperor can’t detect him with the senses of their souls. Otherwise, he would have never been able to remain in hiding under the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s watch for such a long time…”

On the Reverent Observance Heaven, the Immortal Exalts all witnessed what had happened in outer space. Many of their faces were filled with amazement, as they had yet to witness such an outstanding Immortal Emperor before.

“Jian Chen, get out here. You killed a million of my clansmen from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. This is an irreconcilable grudge. I will carve you to pieces…”

“Chang Yang, if you don’t come out, I’ll kill everyone connected to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and destroy all the organisations that have connections to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. You will pay a price for provoking the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants…”

A violent storm of energy swept through outer space, wreaking havoc among the stars. The Space-splitting Venerable flew into a fury and let out a deafening roar.

After seeing the Immortal Emperors and the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt who had once been imprisoned in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the Space-splitting Venerable had been greatly triggered, almost to the point where he lost all sense of rationality.

Suddenly, the Space-splitting Venerable thought of something and quivered all over. The scarlet colour in his eyes receded like the tide. Afterwards, he formed a seal with one hand, producing an ancient and profound imprint.

Once the imprint was completed, the Space-splitting Venerable could delicately sense that a special power of laws pulsed, spreading into the distant unknown.

At the same time, in a region extremely distant from the Reverent Observance Heaven, Daowei Chengqing dressed in white robes sat within a beautifully-decorated hall within a series of dignified, ancient structures. His eyes were shut as if he was cultivating.

The profound laws pulsed around him. These laws were different from the ones that other people comprehended. They were much deeper and much more vague. They seemed to have surpassed the strength of laws that Daowei Chengqing currently possessed, reaching a higher realm.

Suddenly, Daowei Chengqing sensed something. He opened his eyes and gazed off in the direction of the Reverent Observance Heaven. He murmured, “It’s the Space-splitting Venerable who’s calling for me. Don’t tell me the inheritor of the twin swords has appeared?”

When he thought of the twin swords, Daowei Chengqing could not help but become serious. A presence from the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor radiated from him. He swung his arms around and drew in the air skillfully with his cultivation, producing an ancient formation in the very end.

“Master, what’s happened?” An elderly voice rang out. Three servants appeared. They were Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts, but when they looked at Daowei Chengqing who was only a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, they were filled with respect from the bottom of their hearts.

“I want to pay a visit to the Reverent Observance Heaven. Come with me,” Daowei Chengqing said calmly. In the next moment, the space in front of him split open, turning into a multi-coloured spatial gate. Dense laws were woven inside as if it was connected to the entire world, allowing him to reach any corner of the Immortals’ World.

Gazing at the gate, the three servants were surprised, as this was the first time they had ever seen Daowei Chengqing use an ability like this.

“The journey to the Reverent Observance Heaven is extremely distant. Even with our strength, we need to spend quite some time. Why don’t you let us lead the way instead, master? Don’t tell me this technique is even faster than the three of us?” At this moment, the three servants asked.

Despite their curiosity, they directly stepped into the spatial gate behind Daowei Chengqing. In the next moment, the surrounding landscape changed, and they had arrived in an unfamiliar region of space.

Several hundred metres in front of them, the Space-splitting Venerable stood in a daze. His face was filled with shock.

“Y-your majesty, you were nearby?” the Space-splitting Venerable asked subconsciously.

Daowei Chengqing furrowed his brows slightly. He quickly looked around and said, “I was cultivating in the clan. I immediately hurried over here after receiving your message. Where is he?”

When he heard that, the Space-splitting Venerable could not help but gasp. He was shaken up inside. The Waymight clan was more than halfway across the Immortals’ World from the Reverent Observance Heaven, yet Daowei Chengqing had only used five seconds to reach here after he had passed on the news.

He had traversed more than half of the Immortals’ World in such a short amount of time. This ability was almost akin to what Grand Exalts were capable of.

Although peak experts had special methods that virtually achieved the same result, they often had extremely stringent requirements to fulfill. They could not achieve this as easily as Daowei Chengqing had.

More importantly, Daowei Chengqing’s cultivation was only at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor right now!
