Chapter 3677: Saving the Demon Exalt (Two)
In the eyes of the great elders of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, if the disturbances earlier were only small scuffles, then the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt breaking free would be absolutely dangerous.
That was because none of the Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants would be present for the next period of time. Even though the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants possessed methods to fend off Immortal Exalts, who knew whether some of them would be dragged down with the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt given his strength.
Apart from that, the person saving the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was definitely an Immortal Exalt too.
In other words, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants would not just be facing the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt alone, but another Immortal Exalt hidden in the shadows whose identity was still unknown as well.
“Oh no. Xiang Zhiru must have gone there. I can’t reach her anymore…”
At this moment, Xiang Bai, Xiang Zhiping, and Xiang Zhan gathered together. Their faces were all ugly.
The three of them all thought of the same terrifying conclusion.
“That’s impossible. Great elder Zhiru is a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. She’s not an Immortal Exalt yet, but with her strength, she can maneuver around a little even if she faced certain First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.” An Immortal Emperor from Xiang Zhiru’s branch flew over and retorted firmly, refusing to accept this outcome.
“But what if the enemy isn’t a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt and someone stronger instead?” Xiang Bai said sternly.
When he heard that, the heart of the great elder from Xiang Zhiru’s branch sank.
“If that is the case, then today will probably be the greatest challenge that our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has faced in the past three million years,” Xiang Zhiping said sternly.
“If that is the case, all we can do is make use of all of our trump cards. Otherwise, we’ll probably struggle to face off against two Immortal Exalts just with a group of Immortal Emperors and Immortal Monarch. In particular, while the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s vitality is sapped, he still is a Fourth Heavenly Layer Demon Exalt after all, so we can’t afford to be careless at all,” Xiang Zhan said sternly.
Under the orders of the three branch leaders, all of the experts in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants quickly gathered together.
Very soon, over two hundred experts hovered above the forbidden ground where the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was suppressed. They were all Immortal Monarchs or Immortal Emperors.
The experts rapidly established a formation in the sky, constructing two supreme formations of startling might as quickly as possible. From afar, the two supreme formations were like a pair of shining suns, illuminating the entire sky.
Each formation was capable of fending off Immortal Exalts and could even threaten the lives of some Immortal Exalts.
A colossal formation rose up in the air from behind the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. A jade bottle several metres long was placed in the centre of the formation.
At this moment, all of the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants beneath Immortal Monarch had already gathered together, channelling their energy into the formation endlessly. After being refined by the formation, it turned into an extremely pure power that surged into the jade bottle.
A terrifying pressure gradually emanated from the jade bottle, growing in strength.
Combined, the Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Xuan Immortal, and Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants amounted to several hundred thousand. Despite their combined efforts, they were unable to fill the jade bottle immediately.
At this moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid used its vines to weave a cage deep underground, holding up the collapsed surface.
Fifteen of the eighteen golden chains had already been severed. Only the final three remained.
However, the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants clearly refused to just watch as the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s seal was destroyed. The two formations assembled by numerous experts suddenly erupted with terrifying might. Two enormous columns of energy pierced the ground and shot directly towards the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid responded as if it was facing a powerful foe. It swung a total of eight main stalks at the same time, receiving the two enormous columns of energy.
Boom!
A deafening rumble immediately erupted deep underground. The energy attack from the two formations were shattered, but six of the eight main stalks from the Immortal Devouring Orchid had been destroyed as well.
The attacks it faced were even more powerful than the formation assembled by the nine Immortal Emperors and eighty-one Immortal Monarchs of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants a thousand years ago.
Not only were there more opponents this time, but they were also more powerful.
“Again!” A great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants roared out in the air.
The two formations began to amass energy again.
Suddenly, the pressure of an Immortal Exalt flooded the surroundings. Two colossal vines burst through the earth like a pair of swords that shot into the sky, attacking the two formations viciously.
They were two main stalks of the Immortal Devouring Orchid. They were far more powerful than any other tendrils.
A transparent energy barrier appeared on the two formations, not only blocking the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s attack, but even reflecting all of the power that the Immortal Devouring Orchid devoted to the attack back at the two main stalks.
Immediately, a large number of cracks appeared on the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s two main stalks. They were on the brink of collapse.
But in the next moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s almost undying regeneration demonstrated its power. All of the cracks on the main stalks rapidly vanished. All of the injuries it had sustained healed at an unbelievable rate.
“It’s the Immortal Devouring Orchid, the same Immortal Devouring Orchid from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens!” At this moment, a cry rang out. The great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, Xiang Yangtian, widened his eyes and stared down in disbelief.
He had once visited the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in person and saw the Immortal Devouring Orchid from very far away, so he immediately recognised it.
“What? This is the Immortal Devouring Orchid that the Star Clustered Ancestor raised? It’s actually reached Immortal Exalt…”
“Dammit, don’t tell me the people from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens are behind all of this?”
The other great elders were shocked. Their eyes began to shine. Some of them were filled with hatred and icy-cold killing intent, but there were others who were uneasy as if they feared something.
Apart from the Observance Heaven City, there were no organisations on the Reverent Observance Heaven that could strike fear into the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was the only exception.
Even though the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had already declined, the connections it possessed ran very deep and were very complicated, and they had the support of a Grand Exalt.
As a result, the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were extremely conflicted when it came to dealing with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
“So what if they’re from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? They’ve intruded on our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants today. Even if we kill it, the Grand Exalt won’t be able to blame us,” Xiang Bai’s eyes shone coldly as he said frigidly.
At this moment, the chaotic and violent spiritual Qi from the three Skyfire Volcanoes finally settled down. The Skyfire Volcanoes had completely stabilised. Shortly afterwards, the spiritual Qi in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants that had become extremely thin began to rapidly replenish.
The three Skyfire Volcanoes powered the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains, which furiously drew in spiritual Qi.
Xiang Bai immediately beamed with joy when this happened. He yelled out, “The spiritual Qi has returned. Quick, activate the Disc of Sun and Moon and restrain all invading enemies!”
