C.3459: Immortal-destroying Thunders

Deep fright appeared in the Luofu Immortal Emperor’s eyes. He retreated miserably with the remaining half of his body, no longer possessing any of the composure from before. He began to panic from the bottom of his heart.

“What is this secret technique? How can it directly bypass the defences of my god artifact and the formations to directly erupt in my body? This is impossible. This is impossible. How can such an unbelievable secret technique exist?” the Luofu Immortal Emperor roared out furiously inside. In just a short moment, his battle prowess had plummeted. He no longer cared about Jian Chen, turning around and flying rapidly towards the Yuqing Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds.

During this time, he constantly fished out jade bottles from his Space Ring, eating precious God Tier pills like they were regular candy.

Jian Chen stared coldly at the fleeing Luofu Immortal Emperor. With a ripple of the Laws of Space, he arrived before the Luofu Immortal Emperor, directly intercepting him.

Through the Laws of Space, Jian Chen’s current speed was already on par with Grand Primes. The Luofu Immortal Emperor was only a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, so how could he be faster than Jian Chen?

The Luofu Immortal Emperor’s expression changed drastically when he saw Jian Chen appear before him.

In the next moment, startling sword intent directly lashed towards the Luofu Immortal Emperor’s head with a flash of light.

The expressions of the Yuqing Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds changed drastically when they saw this. Jian Chen’s strength was well beyond their estimates. Even more to their disbelief, the Luofu Immortal Emperor was already close to dying after fighting for such a short amount of time.

But it was already too late for them to save him. At that critical moment, the Yuqing Immortal Emperor could only yell out to the Luofu Immortal Emperor, “Quick, use the Immortal-destroying Thunders!”

Even without the Yuqing Immortal Emperor’s reminder, the Luofu Immortal Emperor who was on the brink of death had already fished out something from his Space Ring.

It was a sphere of violet and gold. Lightning seemed to flicker inside, radiating with a startling pressure.

As soon as the sphere appeared, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could sense a startlingly great energy inside.

It all happened in a split second. Right when Jian Chen’s attack was about to land on the Luofu Immortal Emperor, he had already tossed out the sphere of violet and gold.

The sphere immediately made contact with Jian Chen’s sword Qi.

“Boom!”

In the next moment, a deafening rumble erupted. The sphere of violet and gold contained the terrifying power of lightning. Bolts of lightning filled the surroundings, turning the entire place violet and gold. The countless bolts turned into furious dragons that swallowed Jian Chen’s figure.

Furious flames burned away in the lightning as well. The lightning and fire merged as one, such that the power of lightning that was already extremely powerful became even more terrifying.

The space where Jian Chen resided began to twist violently. As the power of lightning destroyed everything, it ripped open the space in the formation. A pitch-black hole appeared in the centre of the lightning.

The lightning attacked everything within its range indiscriminately. Even the Luofu Immortal Emperor who threw it out was affected, but because he was the wielder and combined with the fact that he had prepared beforehand, it did not have too severe of an impact on him.

But despite that, the power of lightning still made him cough up blood uncontrollably. Sparks flickered on his body. The armour that the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike had cut in half also became pitch-black.

A heavy, charred smell filled the air as if flesh had been burnt. It was extremely sharp.

The smell even radiated from the Luofu Immortal Emperor. He only bore part of the impact, which could not even be considered as particularly great, yet his flesh had still been charred by the lightning.

The Yuqing Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds had already reunited with the Luofu Immortal Emperor. The two of them stood at the front, shielding the Luofu Immortal Emperor who was heavily injured and reduced to just half of his body. They stared sternly at the region devastated by lightning.

“I didn’t expect this person to be so powerful. He almost killed one of us,” the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds said sternly. If it were not for the fact that the laws that Jian Chen used were at the level of Immortal Emperors, he basically would have suspected he had encountered an Immortal Exalt instead.

The three of them worked together against a single person and they had set up all these formations to assist them. They truly made use of every advantage, yet even under these circumstances, the Luofu Immortal Emperor had almost died.

Even a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor would struggle to achieve something like that.

“Everything is all due to his strange secret technique. It can actually pass through the defences of the formations and my god artifact to directly attack me from inside. Even those stronger than him will suffer at his hand. Fortunately, he’s been hit by the Immortal-destroying Thunder. The Immortal-destroying Thunder was refined from the heavenly tribulation of an Immortal Exalt. It’s so powerful that even a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor would die from it.”

“Let alone the fact that this person isn’t even a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor,” the Yuqing Immortal Emperor said indifferently.

He spoke calmly, but he was also stern. The battle earlier even made the heart of an established Immortal Emperor like him thump.

The Luofu Immortal Emperor hovered behind the Yuqing Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds. He said with a sunken face, “This person is definitely an Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, or he would not have been able to pass through the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation. However, does the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens still have any Immortal Emperors?”

“Perhaps some managed to slip away in the past. After all, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had many impressive disciples back then. Most of them have perished, but who can guarantee that one or two didn’t escape death somehow?” the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds said.

“Don’t worry about who he is. A dead person is not worth all this discussion. C’mon, let’s go in and check out the divine hall. Let’s hope the remaining part of the legacy hasn’t been taken away by this person. Otherwise, we’d really struggle to answer the Master of Profound Secrets.” The Yuqing Immortal Emperor waved his hand and stopped looking at the surging sea of lightning. Instead, he turned around and made his way towards the divine hall behind him.

The divine hall was originally protected by the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation, but ever since Jian Chen destroyed it from the inside, the divine hall was no longer protected.

“Who is the Master of Profound Secrets?”

But at this moment, a cold voice rang out from the sea of lightning.

When they heard the voice, the three Immortal Emperors suddenly froze, as their hairs stood on end. Suddenly, they looked back at the vicious sea of lightning created by the Immortal-destroying Thunder, immediately seeing Jian Chen walk out from there steadily. The sea of lightning that struck fear into their hearts was actually unable to harm Jian Chen at all.

No, it was not that the sea of lightning could not harm him at all. Instead, Jian Chen flickered with a layer of green light. His injuries recovered at a terrifying rate. Often, the life energy had already healed him before the power from the lightning could even leave a mark.

That was what led to the impression that the Immortal-destroying Thunder could not even touch a hair on Jian Chen.
