Chapter 3791: Annihilated by the Divine Formation
However, the Space-purging Ancestor clearly had his qualms. He did not have the courage to take action.
“Before we discuss this, there’s something I want to ask you about.” Jian Chen placed the cup of white jade onto the table gently and stared at the Space-purging Ancestor in interest. “The Transcension Ancestor of the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment is secretly controlling some clans and organisations to commit heinous deeds, which has led to the deaths of numerous innocent cultivators. His objective is only to collect some materials to forge some kind of demonic object.”
“As another ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, are you aware of this matter, Space-purging Ancestor?”
However, as soon as he heard that, the Space-purging Ancestor’s gaze actually became extremely frightening. It was filled with killing intent.
There were still many followers of the orthodox in the Immortals’ World. If they heard about the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment’s deeds, then it would lead to endless trouble. They would be openly condemned and even face destruction.
The Space-purging Ancestor’s response allowed Jian Chen to receive immediate confirmation. He could not help but let out a gentle sigh and say, “I originally thought it was just the Transcension Ancestor, and it had nothing to do with the two other ancestors of your Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”
“But as it seems now, I’ve been too naive. Perhaps all three ancestors of your Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment are in on this.”
“This has nothing to do with you. Are you trying to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong?” The Space-purging Ancestor’s voice became extremely frigid. Killing intent surged through him, overcome with the impulsion to silence Jian Chen with death.“The world forbids such deeds, so of course, I have to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens.” Jian Chen stood up and formed a seal with his fingers. An obscuring formation immediately unfurled, enveloping several dozen kilometres in the surroundings.
He stowed away the Energy-devouring Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains. Shortly afterwards, he communicated with the Primeval Divine Hall with a thought, “Do it!
”As soon as Jian Chen conveyed this thought, surging energy erupted in the space behind him. Over ten thousand figures appeared out of nowhere.
Even the weakest of these people were Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. They were all disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
Apart from these Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, there were over thirty Immortal Monarchs, nine Immortal Emperors, and two Immortal Exalts!
They had already arranged the Divine Formation of the Heavens inside the Primeval Divine Hall before the artifact spirit forcefully transported them out.
As a result, from the moment they appeared, they were already in a fully-functioning killing formation, shining with blinding light and producing a startling disturbance.
The Space-purging Ancestor’s face changed drastically as his eyes narrowed. The formation made him feel unprecedented danger. Chills ran through the bottom of his heart.
He had a very strong feeling that even if he used the Fiend Soul banner against this formation, he would stand no chance at all.
“Not to mention that I’m only at the Fourth Heavenly Layer, even if a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt faces this formation, it would be almost certain death.” The Space-purging Ancestor paled. Without a moment of hesitation, he used a spatial secret technique to flee.
But at this moment, powerful sword intent filled the surroundings. Two strands of Profound Sword Qi shot out at the same time from Jian Chen’s forehead, bypassing the distance of space and arriving instantly.
Spurt!
The two strands of Profound Sword Qi breached all of the Space-purging Ancestor’s defensive measures, plunging straight into his forehead and making him shudder violently.
However, he still was a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt after all, far stronger than the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master. Even when Jian Chen used two strands of Profound Sword Qi at the same time, he struggled to injure the Space-purging Ancestor. He only managed to affect him momentarily.
However, a moment of interference was enough to decide his fate!
The Divine Formation of the Heavens erupted with blinding light. An apocalyptic beam of destruction rained down, enveloping the Space-purging Ancestor instantly.
Boom!
With a violent rumble, the entire earth shook. A huge crack was left in the space there.
The ground that the Space-purging Ancestor hovered over had already turned into a bottomless pit. Everything within several tens of thousand kilometres of them had been reduced to a mess. The lofty mountains were incinerated like they had just faced the end of the world.
The strike from the Divine Formation of the Heavens directly annihilated the Space-purging Ancestor. He died without any remains.
In a split second, a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt who possessed tremendous influence on the Hall Brilliance Heaven had vanished completely.
Looking at where the Space-purging Ancestor had perished, Jian Chen struggled to remain calm. He knew the current power of the Divine Formation of the Heavens. Let alone a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, even killing a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt was not a problem.
However, that was only in theory.
If he actually tried it, there would be far too many factors involved.
Now, with the Space-purging Ancestor’s death, the Divine Formation of the Heavens had finally begun demonstrating its might.
“Immortal Exalts are all capable of exceptional things. If I hadn’t delayed him for a moment at that critical juncture, the Divine Formation of the Heavens would have never hit him.”
“Looks like I need to keep studying the usage of the Divine Formation of the Heavens,” Jian Chen pondered to himself.
This was the first time he had used the Divine Formation of the Heavens against an opponent. He knew his enemies would not simply stand there and watch them assemble the Divine Formation of the Heavens, which was why he made them assemble the formation beforehand inside the Primeval Divine Hall.
And afterwards, he would transport the assembled Divine Formation of the Heavens outside in one piece at the cost of tremendous effort from the Primeval Divine Hall.
This was the only way to ensure that the Divine Formation of the Heavens could launch the strongest attack in the shortest amount of time.
But as it seemed now, it was still not fast enough.
“The power of the Divine Formation of the Heavens is truly shocking. A Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt who rivals me in my peak condition was actually annihilated in the blink of an eye. It truly is a Grand Exalt’s formation.” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt sighed in amazement. At this moment, the Divine Formation of the Heavens had begun to dim as well, no longer possessing the same destructive power as before.
The attack had instantly drained all of the energy inside all of the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal disciples.
Only the Immortal Monarchs and above still retained some strength.
This was the flaw that came with the incompleteness of the Divine Formation of the Heavens.
At this moment, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt looked at the obscuring formation in the distance. With a slight frown, he said, “Sect master, the Divine Formation of the Heavens is too powerful. An obscuring formation at such a level cannot completely mask the presence here. Some Immortal Exalts on the Hall Brilliance Heaven will detect the disturbances here very soon.”
“Everyone, retreat!” Jian Chen immediately ordered, sending everyone back inside the Primeval Divine Hall as quickly as possible.
Afterwards, he searched through the battlefield. He did not find the Space-purging Ancestor’s Space Ring. He only found a high quality god artifact that resembled a bracelet and a black, palm-sized banner.
However, as soon as Jian Chen touched the black banner, he immediately felt endless demon Qi surge out, giving off a sinister presence as if it wanted to freeze his soul.
Jian Chen could not help but shiver. He quickly circulated his Chaotic Force to purge all of the coldness.
Meanwhile, his gaze sharpened, staring straight at the black banner. He had already recognised it as a demonic treasure of extremely great power.
“Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, do you recognise this?” Jian Chen sent the black banner into the Primeval Divine Hall for the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt to identify.
