Chapter 3684: Destroying the Sect (Three)
“Nicely done, Xiang Zhan. You’ve done beautifully! You are the main contributor to suppressing the invaders this time!” On the other side, Xiang Bai roared loudly as he faced off against the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. He was in high spirits as if he could already see the light of victory.
The other Immortal Monarch elders and Immortal Emperor great elders were no different.
“Ancestors, awaken your power to suppress the chaos in the sect!” Xiang Zhan roared furiously as he threw himself at the seven ancestral towers without any regard.
But at this moment, the space before Xiang Zhan twisted slightly. A God Tier sword suddenly thrust out with a strand of blinding sword Qi, stabbing towards Xiang Zhan with unmatched speed.
The sword moved far too quickly. Under the influence of the Laws of Space, it had already surpassed the speed of lightning.
However, Xiang Zhan did not panic. Instead, he laughed loudly and sneered. “I’ve been guarding against your attack the entire time. Do you think you can stop me?” Xiang Zhan’s arms suddenly erupted. His blood and flesh burned furiously, turning into a great storm of energy that collided against the incoming sword.
The God Tier sword immediately produced a loud thrum. Its glow rapidly dimmed.
Jian Chen’s figure appeared from the space there. He rapidly retreated with the sword in hand. He scanned his body and frowned slightly.
A layer of black substance had already contaminated his body. The black substance was contained within Xiang Zhan’s arms. As his arms erupted, they sprayed onto Jian Chen with the storm of energy.
“I knew you would appear at a time like this, and you would serve as my final obstacle to approaching the ancestral towers.” Xiang Zhan smiled viciously and said, “I haven’t been able to see through your strength, but given how you’re not bold enough to come into contact with our formations, that can only mean that you’re not an Immortal Exalt.”
“And as long as you’re not an Immortal Exalt, you won’t be able to fend off the Curse of Incinerating Blood that I cast at the cost of my arms!”
“The Curse of Incinerating Blood can bypass your high quality God Tier armour and all of your energies. It can reach you directly. As long as you’re no stronger than the caster, then it’s almost certain death.”
Xiang Zhan smiled cruelly. His cultivation was at the Eighth Heavenly Layer. After igniting his soul and essence blood, his battle prowess had temporarily reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer.
Under such a state, only Immortal Exalts could resist his Curse of Incinerating Blood.
The Curse of Incinerating Blood was quite a profound ancient secret technique in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ possession. The caster did not have to grasp the Laws of Curses. They only needed to pay a certain prize to use it.
Once afflicted with the Curse of Incinerating Blood, the victim’s blood would burn until they perished, enduring hellish pain in the process.
As he said that, the black substance that contaminated Jian Chen had already begun to dissolve slowly. All of the black substance merged into his body silently. Even the Chaotic Body was unable to stop it.
In the next moment, Jian Chen felt all of the blood in his body boil. It began to burn uncontrollably, followed by excruciating pain.
However, Jian Chen had already forged his body seventeen times. With each forging, he would have to go through horrific torture. The pain was far greater than the agony of having his blood incinerated, so this was truly nothing to him.
“This curse can even incinerate chaotic blood?” Jian Chen was rather surprised, but he came to an understanding when he remembered how his chaotic blood came nowhere close to being true chaotic blood.
Xiang Zhan was already certain that Jian Chen would perish in extreme agony, so he refused to waste another moment on him. He directly made his way around Jian Chen, throwing himself at the seven ancestral towers like he was seizing every second.
But at this moment, he clearly seemed much more feeble than before.
Spurt!
Suddenly, the sharp tip of a sword pierced into the back of Xiang Zhan’s head before emerging from his forehead.
Jian Chen had appeared behind Xiang Zhan before penetrating his head in a single stroke.
The Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Xiang Zhan had perished!
“I-impossible. You’ve been afflicted with the Curse of Incinerating Blood. How are you perfectly fine?” After witnessing their exchange, Xiang Bai roared out furiously, refusing to accept this. Xiang Zhan’s death had put out the glimmer of hope in his heart.
At this moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s vines danced and pierced several dozen Immortal Monarchs once again before dragging them into its gaping mouth.
It was a complete beatdown when an Immortal Exalt faced Immortal Monarchs. It possessed an absolutely crushing advantage over them.
With the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s two attacks, only around twenty Immortal Monarchs remained out of the hundred that maintained the formation.
The twenty-odd Immortal Monarchs and dozen or so Immortal Emperors were all stuck due to the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s suction. They could not escape at all.
At this moment, Jian Chen appeared before one of the Immortal Monarchs with a flash like he had teleported. He slashed down casually, killing one of them immediately.
Jian Chen struck out again and again, killing an Immortal Monarch with each stroke. Without any resistance, he killed the remaining Immortal Monarchs very quickly.
With that, only around a dozen Immortal Emperors remained from the formation led by Xiang Zhan. They held on arduously and did everything that they could to resist the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s devouring force.
However, without the Immortal Monarchs to divert its strength, the Immortal Devouring Orchid could concentrate all of its power on the Immortal Emperors.
In the next moment, the Immortal Emperors immediately felt the force suddenly strengthen. They were rapidly dragged towards the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
“No!”
The dozen or so Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants roared furiously. They all reverted to their true forms. Around a dozen colossal elephants of varying sizes appeared out of nowhere, doing all that they could to resist.
However, without over a hundred Immortal Monarchs to share the burden, their resistance was futile. They were powerless.
In the end, Xiang Bai and the others could only watch helplessly as the Immortal Emperors were devoured by the Immortal Devouring Orchid one by one. They were uncertain about their fates.
All of the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Monarchs led by Xiang Zhan had perished in battle with that!
“Fantastic! You’ve done very well, fellow daemon plant. Looks like the destruction of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is already set in stone.” On the other side, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt who faced off against Xiang Bai and the others laughed aloud. “Come assist me quickly, fellow daemon plant. Let’s work together and breach this formation!”
“Sigh, I’m late!” At this moment, an elderly voice rang out from the horizon. The sigh contained pain and sorrow.
In the distance, an old man in greyish-white robes stood on top of the high quality God Tier divine hall that hovered in the distance.
The old man was extremely elderly. His face was covered with wrinkles, and his long, silvery-white hair dragged on the ground behind him. He gave off a foul smell as if his days were already numbered. He seemed like he already had a foot in the grave.
“The sect is about to be destroyed already. Elder Jiang, why have you only just appeared?” Xiang Bai roared furiously.
The old man known as elder Jiang sighed gently and said, “The destruction of the three Skyfire Volcanoes stopped the operation of the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains. As a result, many of the formations locked down on themselves. It took me a tremendous amount of effort before I could open the Energy-sealing formation and retrieve this forbidden artifact.”
“Xiang Bai, you’ve had it tough. Leave the rest to me. The lads and lasses of our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants can’t die for nothing,” elder Jiang said sorrowfully before locking onto the Immortal Devouring Orchid. Immediately, his killing intent erupted.
