Chapter 3679: The Disc of Sun and Moon
Boom!
The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s huge hand slammed against one of the formations. It was like the collision between two huge meteors at high speed, producing an alarming rumble.
The protective formation violently flickered. All of the experts in the formation, over a hundred of them, turned bright red. Many of the Immortal Monarchs had blood ooze out from the corner of their mouths.
The formation had been repelled by a single strike from the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
However, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt also received a backlash from a certain degree. His huge hand shook violently, before recovering. Afterwards, he took a step forward like nothing had happened at all, approaching the retreating formation again and launching a second attack.
Spurt!
From the second attack, all of the Immortal Monarchs who maintained the formation sprayed with blood. They began to pale.
The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt after all. Even in a weakened state with only access to thirty percent of his full strength, he was still much more powerful than the Immortal Devouring Orchid who had only broken through recently.
The two powerful formations from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants capable of both offence and defence that left the Immortal Devouring Orchid helpless seemed a little overwhelmed before the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
The two formations were forced into a retreat by the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. For a moment, they could barely even protect themselves.
At this moment, the Disc of Sun and Moon in the air suddenly shone brightly. The pressure of a sovereign god artifact filled the surroundings, together with an irresistibly powerful restraining force that rapidly gathered around the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt stopped his attacks. He raised his head and looked at the sovereign god artifact in the air as his face twisted violently. The clarity vanished from his eyes, having been swallowed by chaotic and violent emotions.
“You actually still want to imprison me. Damn you, damn you, Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. You can all go die. I’ll kill you all!” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt roared madly. His strength as an Immortal Exalt erupted. Demon Qi rushed into the air as he was about to launch a furious strike.
But at this moment, an invisible barrier seemed to appear around the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. He was stuck where he was. All of his attacks were blocked by the invisible barrier around him.
And, with the passage of time, the barrier around the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt became tougher and tougher.
Argh—
The enraged Thousand Soul Demon Exalt seemed to know the fate awaiting him. He let out a furious roar at the sky, refusing to accept this. His surging hatred brought chills to all the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
Right when the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was about to be completely restrained by the Disc of Sun and Moon, one of the three Skyfire Volcanoes in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants suddenly produced a violet explosion. The sky full of fire scattered everywhere like fallen leaves.
One of the Skyfire Volcanoes had been completely destroyed!
With the loss of one of the Skyfire Volcanoes, the operation of the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants immediately slowed down.
The abnormal behaviour with the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains obviously affected the Disc of Sun and Moon in the air too. The Disc of Sun and Moon dimmed slightly, and the restraints on the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt weakened as well.
“Dammit, someone has destroyed a Skyfire Volcano!” All of the Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were enraged. Some of them even flew into a fury as their killing intent surged.
The incident with the Skyfire Volcano this time was completely different from before.
Earlier, the Skyfire Volcanoes acted up only because they had lost their equilibrium in their internal energy, but they had neither been harmed nor sustained any severe damage.
But now, a Skyfire Volcano had been completely destroyed.
Immediately, the senses of souls from multiple Immortal Emperors searched the surroundings of the Skyfire Volcano, wanting to find the culprit who destroyed it, but they found nothing at all.
At the same time, at the bottom of the Skyfire Volcano that had already been destroyed, Jian Chen was clad in the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, hiding away in the space there perfectly. He stared straight at the Disc of Sun and Moon in the sky.
After sensing the restraining force from the Disc of Sun and Moon weakening, he immediately found some relief. Not only did the Disc of Sun and Moon restrain the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, but it also affected all of the intruders in the sect too.
However, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt stood out far too much. As soon as he emerged, he drew over the attention of all of the experts in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. He obviously became the special target for the Disc of Sun and Moon.
Most of the Disc of Sun and Moon’s restraining force was concentrated around the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. Apart from the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, the Immortal Devouring Orchid underground and Jian Chen also sensed the powerful restraining force rapidly taking shape around them, growing in strength.
Even with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight equipped, Jian Chen was unable to avoid the suppression from the sovereign god artifact.
Actually, they were not the only ones affected. Even the disciples from the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi refining pills in the distant Pavilion of Alchemy were affected by the Disc of Sun and Moon. Their cultivation and actions were gradually suppressed, which blew up the pills that were currently refining.
“It truly is a sovereign god artifact. Even when damaged, it possesses such great might.” Jian Chen sighed from the bottom of his heart.
However, he was also aware that the reason why the Disc of Sun and Moon possessed such force must have been a result of the careful arrangements of the ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants or even the experts from the Sacred Beast clan.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to unleash so much power from a sovereign god artifact with just three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains.
“Destroying one of the Skyfire Volcanoes is nowhere near enough. The restraints from the Disc of Sun and Moon are still steadily growing stronger. I need to destroy all three Skyfire Volcanoes as quickly as possible.” Jian Chen immediately rushed off towards the next Skyfire Volcano.
Boom!
A few seconds later, another startling rumble shook up the entire Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Jian Chen had already arrived beneath the second Skyfire Volcano silently, directly slashing out and destroying it as well.
Immediately, the power of the Disc of Sun and Moon declined once again. The restraining force around the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt almost vanished completely. He immediately began to launch furious attacks at the two supreme formations before him with surging demon Qi.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid and Jian Chen also felt their bodies lighten. The gradually strengthening restraints seemed to vanish all of a sudden.
Meanwhile, the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants roared furiously. They were utterly enraged. Unfortunately, they were forced into a retreat by the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s attacks, barely able to keep themselves safe. They were in no shape to worry about anything else.
Suddenly, the blinding sword Qi appeared again. The sect master of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants filled the jade bottle with energy from the several hundred thousand disciples under his lead.
A strand of sword Qi erupted from the jade bottle, flying right towards the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
Faced with this strand of sword Qi that could slay Immortal Exalts, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was not able to dodge either.
The sword Qi immediately shot into the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s body. The surging demon Qi around him immediately collapsed, exposing his large, muscular figure.
“Argh—” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt howled painfully as his colossal figure was split into two along the waist.
Sharp light shot out from the wound. All of his flesh nearby melted away at a visible rate.
In reality, the threat that the sword Qi from the jade bottle posed to Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts was extremely limited.
However, because the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was heavily injured and only possessed thirty percent of his peak strength at most, his ability to fend off the attack had obviously become much weaker.
“Soul Suppression talisman!” Suddenly, Xiang Bai, who led one of the formations, bellowed out. In the next moment, a talisman flew out from the high quality god artifact divine hall in the air.
Xiang Bai clutched the Soul Suppression talisman in his hand. All of the experts maintaining the formation extended a finger towards the Soul Suppress talisman. Immediately, extremely pure energy shot out from the tips of their fingers, channeling into the Soul Suppression talisman.
With the energy from over a hundred experts, the Soul Suppression talisman immediately shone with black light. Afterwards, the talisman turned into a colossal stone tablet that descended from above, crushing down heavily on the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
Boom!
Already heavily injured, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was sent into the ground by the stone tablet from the Soul Suppression talisman. The ground shook violently.
Under the tablet, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt roared furiously. Under his furious struggle, the entire tablet shook violently.
Xiang Bai had already led a group of experts over to the tablet. Everyone channeled their energy into the tablet, doing everything that they could to suppress the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
“Xiang Zhan, go to the last Skyfire Volcano immediately. We can’t allow any accidents to happen there,” Xiang Bai raised his head and said.
In the air, the second formation was led by the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, Xiang Zhan. When he heard that, he did not hesitate at all, controlling the formation and rapidly approaching the third Skyfire Volcano.
The Disc of Sun and Moon required the Skyfire Volcanoes to be activated. If all three Skyfire Volcanoes were destroyed, then the Disc of Sun and Moon could not be used anymore until the ancestors returned.
At this moment, Jian Chen appeared silently beneath the third Skyfire Volcano. He seemed to sense something. He stood among the violent skyfire and gazed at the sky above. Shortly afterwards, he sneered and said, “You want to protect this Skyfire Volcano? Unfortunately, you’re too late.”
He swung his God Tier sword, and powerful sword Qi shot out.
Boom! With a rumble, the third Skyfire Volcano was destroyed as well.
