Chapter 3680: Butchered Instantly
Right when the formation led by Xiang Zhan was about to approach the third Skyfire Volcano, it was completely destroyed with a devastating rumble.
The explosion of the last Skyfire Volcano made all the experts in Xiang Zhan’s formation roar furiously. Many of them began seeing red as their faces contorted with utter resentment.
On the other side, Xiang Bai’s expression changed drastically as he led a group of the experts to suppress the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt with the Soul Suppression talisman.
“Oh no, the Disc of Sun and Moon is about to become useless. Quick, power the Soul Suppression talisman with your full strength. We have to keep the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt suppressed.” Xiang Bai growled. His cultivation as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor erupted completely. The surging power twisted the space, channelling furiously into the Soul Suppression talisman.
At that moment, he truly did not hold back at all.
The other experts were clearly aware of the severity of the situation. The other dozen or so Immortal Emperors and over a hundred Immortal Monarchs all erupted with their full strength. The tremendous energy was like an ocean, all absorbed by the Soul Suppression talisman.
Immediately, the Soul Suppression talisman erupted with black light. The entire Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was shrouded in darkness.
Powered by over ten Immortal Emperors and over a hundred Immortal Monarchs, the Soul Suppression talisman seemed to finally unleash its true might. The powerful force of suppression enveloped the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, making his struggles and resistance gradually become futile.
Under the tablet, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt roared furiously, refusing to accept this as he felt filled with hatred and grievance. But at this moment, despite being a powerful Demon Exalt, he could not avoid the fate of being suppressed as he faced the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
In the sky, after losing the three Skyfire Volcanoes, the damaged sovereign god artifact, the Disc of Sun and Moon, immediately deflated like a balloon. Its tremendous pressure receded like the tide.
The Disc of Sun and Moon faded back into the space there. All of the restraining force it created vanished as well.
However, despite losing the Disc of Sun and Moon which decreased the number of trump cards that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants could use by one, Xiang Bai still let out a slight sigh of relief.
That was because it was already extremely difficult for the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt to avoid being suppressed.
But at this moment, several colossal vines suddenly erupted from deep underground, piercing through space and immediately striking the stone tablet that the Soul Suppression talisman had turned into.
Boom!
Each vine possessed the power of an Immortal Exalt. When several of the vines struck the tablet at the same time, it immediately produced a great rumble. The tablet shook violently from the attack as the energy that had been stirred up turned into a destructive storm, blowing away all of the Immortal Monarchs gathered around the tablet.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid slowly rose up from underground. All of its tendrils danced around. They were all like sharp swords, striking the tablet again and again.
The tablet began to totter. The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt who was supposed to be completely suppressed was able to catch a breath as well. He let out a furious growl and began to struggle fiercely again.
“Xiang Zhan, come and assist me!” Xiang Bai bellowed furiously. Shortly afterwards, he looked at the sect master of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants behind him and made a demand. “Xiang Qitian, I’ll give you ten seconds! Kill the Immortal Devouring Orchid!”
Xiang Qitian was the sect master of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
He currently led several hundred thousand disciples above Golden Immortal, channelling their power into the jade bottle.
When he heard Xiang Bai’s order, Xiang Qitian immediately became troubled. He had personally witnessed the tenacity of the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s vitality. Earlier, when it sustained one of the sword Qi attacks from the jade bottle, it recovered in an extremely short amount of time.
Given that kind of regeneration, killing it in ten seconds was anything but easy.
Most importantly, given how much energy the jade bottle had gathered so far, it was very difficult to make it launch another attack within the next few seconds.
After a moment of silence, Xiang Qitian suddenly gritted his teeth and bellowed at the several hundred thousand disciples beneath him, “All disciples, listen up. I don’t care whether you have to ignite your essence blood or soul. In short, we have to launch a third attack within the next ten seconds.”
Before he had even finished saying that, a bloody ball of mist rose up from Xiang Qitian’s body. His presence suddenly skyrocketed.
He immediately ignited his essence blood, channelling his energy into the jade bottle desperately with enough courage and resolve to sacrifice himself.
With the mighty master of the sect as an example, the several hundred thousand disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were all motivated. Immediately, many of the disciples let out courageous and emotional roars. With eyes filled with determination and resolve, they ignited their essence blood and souls without any hesitation, pouring all of their energy into the jade bottle like their life depended on it.
Immediately, the presence that the ancient jade bottle radiated with began to thicken. Its energy was rapidly replenished.
An invisible aura gradually locked onto the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
Once locked onto by the jade bottle, the sword Qi from the jade bottle would emerge. Let alone the Immortal Devouring Orchid, even the Fourth Heavenly Layer Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was unable to avoid the attack.
But at this moment, a supreme sword intent suddenly appeared and instantly enveloped the region.
The emergence of the sword intent seemed to sever space, turning the area into an independent domain.
All of the laws seemed to be repulsed within this domain. Only the sword intent persisted.
At this moment, all of the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, as long as they were beneath Immortal Monarch, lost their comprehension and control over the ways of the world.
However, before they could respond, all of the disciples who ignited their essence blood and souls as they channelled their full strength into the jade bottle turned to dust.
Several hundred thousand disciples all perished silently. There were no howls, there were no wails, and there was no pain.
It was as if everyone’s vitality had been severed by a mysterious and irresistible power at that moment.
“What are you doing? Why have you all stopped-” The sect master who hovered above everyone, Xiang Qitian, had yet to realise that several hundred thousand of his disciples had already perished. As he cursed furiously, he subconsciously lowered his head before suddenly halting.
Beneath him, the several hundred thousand disciples had already vanished. All that remained was dust, drifting through the air slowly.
As well as several hundred thousand Space Rings and immortal artifacts that were in freefall.
The sect master was completely stunned. He gazed at the sight beneath him dumbfoundedly. His heart surged.
“No, this is impossible…” Only a while later did the sect master let out a dejected murmur. With his knowledge and experience, how could he still not realise that the several hundred thousand disciples had already perished?
They had all been instantly erased by a power that he did not understand.
Spurt!
Suddenly, a smear of blood shot out from the sect master’s forehead. A strand of sword Qi pierced through his entire head. Xiang Qitian did not even know who his opponent was before he was directly killed.
Jian Chen stood silently behind Xiang Qitian. The strand of sword Qi that killed Xiang Qitian came from the tip of his finger.
Xiang Qitian’s corpse fell out of the air, but Jian Chen’s eyes were glued to the jade bottle hovering in the air the entire time. Slaying Xiang Qitian seemed like a completely insignificant deed to him.
“This jade bottle sure is a nice treasure,” Jian Chen said gently to himself. With a wave of his hand, he stowed the jade bottle away without any hesitation.
