Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3686 - 3686: Destroying the Sect (Five)

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was severely injured. Blood spewed out from his mouth as his presence plummeted.

If it were not for his unique cultivation method that bestowed him with many partial souls, the strand of sword Qi was probably enough to kill him.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

The sword Qi had originally locked onto Jian Chen. In the end, Jian Chen had vanished, which forced the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt to endure the attack instead.

At this moment, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt utterly hated Jian Chen to the bone.

The wooden sword also vanished from elder Jiang’s hand inside the high quality divine hall.

These lethal weapons were consumables. They would vanish once used.

Unless they faced a situation of life or death, the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were reluctant to use up these treasured, priceless lethal weapons.

Even in some peak organisations, lethal weapons that could threaten mid Immortal Exalts were enough to be regarded as sect treasures.

To him, Jian Chen had already become someone that had to die. On the other hand, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was no longer as important.

At this moment, elder Jiang’s hand seal changed. An oil lamp crafted from white jade immediately hovered over slowly from the depths of the divine hall.

Gazing at it, elder Jiang immediately became extremely serious. He did not even have the courage to touch the oil lamp, instead controlling it using the secret technique bestowed upon him by the ancestors.

The origins of the oil lamp of white jade were extraordinary. It was said that during the war with the Saints’ World, the Sacred Beast clan managed to trap a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime from the Saints’ World using an ancient secret technique. Then they forcefully refined the Grand Prime into an oil lamp while he was still alive.

The oil lamp was the body of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime from the Saints’ World.

Meanwhile, the oil in the lamp was the fat from the Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime’s body.

The tiny wisp of burning flame was the power of the expert’s soul and the Laws of Fire he had comprehended.

Once used, the oil lamp’s power was equivalent to the self-destruction of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. It was truly devastating.

His hatred for Jian Chen made it such that he did not want him alive in this world for a second longer. However, when he considered the consequences of using this item, it covered him with cold sweat.

Elder Jiang calmed down and formed a seal with his hands, using a secret technique to send the oil lamp of white jade back to its previous location.

Outside the divine hall, the feeble Thousand Soul Demon Exalt turned into a ball of black demon Qi as he fled desperately like he had lost all ability to fight back.

Behind him, Xiang Bai led the formation and pursued the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt closely. Each attack from the formation would shatter many of his partial souls.

Gradually, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s partial souls were depleted, and he became more and more frantic with his fleeing. He ran around in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants blindly like a headless fly.

Suddenly, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt dove into a forbidden ground.

There were around a dozen or so Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors imprisoned in the forbidden ground. They were clearly being reared there by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants like livestock. All of their faces were waxy, and their vitality was feeble.

As soon as the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt reached there, he turned into a cloud of black demon Qi and enveloped the experts. When the cloud dispersed, the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors had all turned to withered corpses. Their souls that were already feeble had been devoured.

When Xiang Bai arrived here with the formation, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had already fled, appearing elsewhere.

The formation composed of over a hundred Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors could face off against Immortal Exalts, but their speed and agility came nowhere close to an actual Immortal Exalt’s.

If the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt chose to focus on fleeing, Xiang Bai and the others were powerless.

Afterwards, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt fled throughout the entire Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, searching for the forbidden grounds. Each forbidden ground would have a few experts of varying strengths imprisoned. Even the weakest of them were Immortal Monarchs.

Whenever the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt visited a forbidden ground, the immortals imprisoned there would lose their souls.

After a few forbidden grounds, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had already devoured the souls of over a hundred experts.

“You’ve pursued me so long. Do you really think I’m powerless against your damned formation?”

“Now, it’s time for you to face the consequences of offending me.”

“Demon Soul Sacrifice!”

With the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s furious roar, over a hundred partial souls appeared around him. These partial souls had clearly been refined recently. They had yet to merge completely with the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s soul.

In the next moment, the partial souls began to burn before turning into black arrows that shot towards Xiang Bai and the others with long, black tails.

They were the souls that the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had just collected from the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors. Through sacrificing their souls, he turned them into a powerful attack.

In the end, almost a hundred of the partial soul arrows breached the formation around Xiang Bai and the others, shooting straight towards the Immortal Monarchs.

The powerful defense constructed by the formation was basically useless before the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s technique.

Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!

The black arrows instantly sank into the foreheads of over forty Immortal Monarchs. Some of them directly endured three or four soul attacks.

Immediately, over forty of the Immortal Monarchs in the formation perished with their souls destroyed.

After losing them, Xiang Bai’s formation immediately collapsed.

“Oh no! The formation has fallen!” an Immortal Emperor great elder cried out. His face immediately became extremely ugly.

Xiang Bai was stern as well, but he still managed to let out a composed bellow, “Don’t panic, everyone. The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt is already putting up his final struggle. Even without the formation, we can still overwhelm him. All Immortal Monarchs, return to the central divine hall. Immortal Emperor great elders, accompany me in killing the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.”

The presence of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor erupted from Xiang Bai. Wielding a high quality god artifact, he charged towards the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt fearlessly.

Faced with Xiang Bai’s attack, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt did not demonstrate the same aggression as earlier. He did not receive his attack, instead choosing to avoid it from afar before turning into a black cloud that shot towards the group of Immortal Monarchs.

Xiang Bai was invigorated by the sight of this. He called out, “You see this? The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt has already become so feeble. His current battle prowess is probably even beneath mine. Use your full strength and kill the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, great elders!”

The dozen or so Immortal Emperor struck out. Over ten medium and high quality god artifacts shot through the air towards the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt continued to dodge before using the opportunity to arrive before an Immortal Monarch. He opened his mouth and inhaled. The Immortal Monarch’s soul was directly separated from his body.

“Argh! Save me! Save me! Great elder, save me please!” The Immortal Monarch elder’s soul howled out as his face was filled with fright.

Before help could reach him, his soul was sucked into the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s churning demon Qi, perishing there.

The remaining several dozen Immortal Monarchs paled in fright. They all erupted with speed, rapidly approaching the high quality divine hall hovering in the air.

At the same time, the divine hall began to move as well, proactively approaching the Immortal Monarchs to receive them.

Suddenly, a flash of light plunged into an Immortal Emperor’s forehead with lightning speed.

The Immortal Emperor had directed all of his focus to the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. Caught off-guard, the flash shattered his soul and claimed his life.

Jian Chen silently appeared behind the Immortal Emperor with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight equipped.

He drew out his sword. With a step, he arrived before the Immortal Monarch who had fled the furthest like he had teleported. With another stab, he killed him.

During this time, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt devoured the soul of another Immortal Monarch. His feeble soul body seemed to obtain some nourishment.

However, after four experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were killed, the divine hall arrived. The remaining Immortal Monarchs all fled into the divine hall like they were fleeing for their lives.

“Xiang Bai, you better stand down now. All of you, come inside the divine hall. This person can hide himself without any trace. If he carries out assassinations against you, you won’t be able to guard against it at all.” Elder Jiang’s elderly voice rang out from inside the divine hall.

When he heard that, Xiang Bai became conflicted. After some consideration, he made up his mind in the end and immediately passed an order. “Everyone, return to the central divine hall!”

“We can’t let them hide inside the divine hall. That is a high quality god artifact. Even in my peak condition, I’m powerless against it. If you want to annihilate them, you have to stop them,” the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt said urgently. He asked Jian Chen, “Fellow, could you lend me some more heavenly resources? I’ll go and stop them.”

Jian Chen glanced at the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and said nothing at all. With a wave of his hand, several dozen more mid grade God Tier heavenly resources appeared.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt turned into a cloud and swept up the heavenly resources. He said sternly, “I’ll do everything I can to stop them from entering the divine hall. Fellow, use this opportunity to kill a few more.”

As soon as he said that, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt turned into a cloud and rose into the air, rapidly enveloping Xiang Bai and the others with demon Qi.

However, the seemingly-fierce demon Qi was actually just a cover by the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. He did not approach the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants at all. Instead, his main body had silently appeared beside Jian Chen.

At this moment, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had already lost half of his body. All that remained was the part above his waist.

His scarlet eyes flashed with excitement as he stared at Jian Chen. The remaining upper half of his body began to burn, turning into pure power of the soul that gathered in the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s soul.

Immediately, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s soul strengthened drastically. He abandoned his body without any hesitation, shooting into Jian Chen’s forehead with all of his power at lightning speed.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt let out a great laugh of satisfaction.
