Chaotic Sword God C.3768: Both Dead

For a moment, the Void-perceiving Ancestor only felt his vision darken as if the world was collapsing. He was quite frightened.

However, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt did not give him any time to respond. After devouring the Wukun Master’s soul, he turned into another black churning cloud and enveloped the Void-perceiving Ancestor.

“Hehehehe, a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt was actually killed so effortlessly. Since when did experts like that become so puny?” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt laughed aloud. Even in his peak condition, he never could have killed a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt in prime condition so easily. It would take him a few moves at the very least.

The black cloud that the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt turned into wormed into the Void-perceiving Ancestor’s head furiously.

“Argh! Get out of here!” The Void-perceiving Ancestor struggled violently. His soul was like a blazing sun, glowing brilliantly and resisting with full strength.

At the same time, his body surged with energy and erupted with light. He completely unleashed his strength as a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt without holding back at all. As he fended off the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, he did his best to preserve his last wisp of clarity before fleeing outwards at full speed.

The Wukun Master’s death had already frightened the Void-perceiving Ancestor out of his wits. He could not muster any courage for battle anymore. All he wanted to do was flee from this place as quickly as possible.

As long as he left the obscuring formation, he could alert the experts of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.

At the same time, the Immortal Devouring Orchid struck as well. Several main stalks wrapped around the Void-perceiving Ancestor and tied him up, limiting his movements. The main stalks turned into sharp spines, piercing him viciously.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each of the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s main stalks possessed startling power, enough to destroy worlds. As a result, when the sharp stalks struck the Void-perceiving Ancestor, they produced a string of rumbles. The powerful shockwaves tore apart the Void-perceiving Ancestor’s robes, revealing the god artifact armour underneath.

The armour had barely made it into the ranks of high quality god artifacts, so its defences were extremely powerful. It managed to block all of the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s attacks. In the end, only some of the force behind the attacks passed through the armour. It only caused some non-lethal damage to the Void-perceiving Ancestor.

The Void-perceiving Ancestor let out a grunt. He seemed to know that he was already in a situation of life and death. Under his instincts for survival, he ignited his essence blood without hesitation.

As he ignited his essence blood, a tremendous presence that even surpassed his peak condition erupted from his body. His energy poured out like tidal waves as he broke free from the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s restraints immediately.

However, he still did not dare to remain for any longer. He was frightened out of his wits, having completely lost his courage for battle. The only thought that remained in his head was to escape.

The colour in his eyes rapidly changed, sometimes replaced by the frantic and fear from the Void-perceiving Ancestor and sometimes replaced by the wildness and flagrancy of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.

Suddenly, pitch-black demonic flames leapt around in the Void-perceiving Ancestor’s eyes as he suddenly said, “Sect master, this old bastard’s resistance is too intense. I can still kill him, but I need some time. If you want to end this quickly, then you’ll have to repeat what you did and use your trump card to create an opportunity for me.”

Hidden in the shadows, Jian Chen understood the situation as well. The Void-perceiving Ancestor was a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt at most. The combination of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt with part of his strength recovered and the First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt Immortal Devouring Orchid could kill him with ease. However, it would also lead to an overly great disturbance.

“Looks like I can’t spare this strand of Profound Sword Qi,” Jian Chen thought and used a second strand of Profound Sword Qi without hesitation.

When the second strand of Profound Sword Qi shot out, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt turned into a black cloud and retreated from the Void-perceiving Ancestor just in case he was caught in the collateral damage.

“T-this sword Qi again!”

Without the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt restraining him, the Void-perceiving Ancestor’s soul immediately broke free, but before he could even catch his breath, he widened his eyes as his pupils immediately narrowed.

He could never forget that it was this sword Qi that heavily injured the Wukun Master, which left him momentarily defenceless. Ultimately, he was killed effortlessly.

He understood that and understood exactly how terrifying the Profound Sword Qi was, but he had no way to block it when he actually faced it.

In the end, the Profound Sword Qi bypassed all of the Void-perceiving Ancestor’s defences and plunged straight into his forehead, heavily injuring his soul and leaving him momentarily dazed.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid used this opportunity to strike. There was a clear division of labour. One of them targeted the soul, while the other targeted the body. Like an unstoppable force, they killed the Void-perceiving Ancestor in a single stroke.

“Hahahaha, satisfying, how satisfying. Despite all these years of cultivating, I’ve never killed Immortal Exalts this easily.” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt could not help but let out a laugh from the bottom of his heart.

Compared to before, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt seemed slightly stronger.

At this moment, extremely subtle ripples of space appeared, and the falling Heaven-locking Chains suddenly vanished.

The Heaven-locking Chains were a god artifact, so it obviously had an artifact spirit. After noticing the Void-perceiving Ancestor’s death, it immediately tried to flee.

After all, it did not belong to the Void-perceiving Ancestor. Instead, it was the artifact of one of the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the Space-purging Ancestor.

At this moment, a cold snort rang out from space. A hand protruded out of nowhere and pressed against the empty space gently.

With that, the space within thirty metres of the hand immediately shattered, and the Heaven-locking Chains hidden in space were immediately exposed.

“You’re a god artifact without someone controlling you, yet you still think you can escape from me?” Jian Chen’s sneer rang out. Shortly afterwards, he emerged from behind with a step and grabbed the Heaven-locking Chains firmly.

Perhaps the Heaven-locking Chains could slip away under the watch of regular Immortal Exalts and vanish completely.

However, Jian Chen had merged with the beast soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor after all. He inherited some of the natural talents of Spatial Insect Emperors, so he possessed an extraordinary advantage when it came to his intimacy with space.

In the blink of an eye, both the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master had perished. Their belongings obviously ended up in Jian Chen’s hands as well.

Apart from the Heaven-locking Chains from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the Void-perceiving Ancestor left behind two other high quality god artifacts.

One of them was the three-legged furnace that had not been used in this battle.

The other was his armour that had barely made the ranks of high quality god artifacts.

On top of that, there were some resources stored in his Space Ring.

As for the Wukun Master, he was much poorer in comparison. Apart from the high quality god artifact, the Heaven-lifting sword, there was basically nothing of particular value. The resources in his Space Ring could not even match the possessions of certain Immortal Emperors.
