Chapter 3676: Saving the Demon Exalt (One)
In the end, without any surprises, everyone chose to join him. There were no exceptions.
After all, they would only be reared like livestock by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants if they remained here. They would either have their essence blood extracted or their important organs removed. They would suffer inhumane torture and still end up dead.
Now that a chance at a new life had presented itself and the price was only to join and serve a sect, there was no reason for them to turn down such simple conditions.
Afterwards, Jian Chen used Xiang Hong’s tablet to open the prisons one by one, releasing all of the experts imprisoned there.
However, their cultivations were all sealed away, which could not be released in a short amount of time. Moreover, their essence blood had been drained, and they were lacking in vitality.
Even if the seal on their cultivation was removed, they would not possess any battle prowess at all.
As a result, Jian Chen did not depend on these people for any help. He let them all into a low quality god artifact divine hall.
Afterwards, Jian Chen activated the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and silently vanished. Under the cover of the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, he left the underground cavern.
With his departure, the underground cavern immediately fell silent. It had truly become abandoned.
Immortal Emperor Wuya’s soul had also disappeared from the very bottom of the cave.
By now, the eruptions of the three Skyfire Volcanoes on the surface had already been suppressed. They gradually began to operate as normal again. The three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains that had stopped seemed to activate slowly as well, causing the rapidly-flowing spiritual Qi in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants to slowly stabilise.
Many experts flew through the skies above the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. The Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors personally checked each forbidden ground.
Perhaps there were more than just the forbidden grounds that imprisoned the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, but Jian Chen was unable to search through all of them.
He covered his tracks with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and returned to the forbidden ground where the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was imprisoned.
There were already three Immortal Emperors here to guard over this place. Apart from the Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Xiang Chengzhu who had been reduced to a mount in the past, there were two other experts at the Sixth Heavenly Layer and the Eighth Heavenly Layer.
At this moment, they were stern, carefully guarding everything as if they were afraid that something would go wrong with the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
“Are we a little too careful? Since the enemy has resorted to using those tricks, it means they’re not particularly powerful. Meanwhile, the formation that restrains the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt requires Immortal Exalts at the very least to destroy. If the enemy really has the strength of an Immortal Exalt, it would have been completely possible for them to destroy the formation here before we responded. Why would they take so long?” Xiang Chengzhu suddenly sighed gently as he grumbled while guarding the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
“You can never go wrong with being more careful. We can’t afford to be careless,” said the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Xiang Zhiping.
Xiang Chengzhu pouted in disagreement. He relaxed and began pouring wine into his mouth.
At this moment, Xiang Zhiping suddenly seemed to receive a piece of news. His expression changed, and he called out, “Oh no, Xiang Zhiru has gone missing. Something has happened in forbidden ground number three. Quick, go to forbidden ground number three!”
With that, Xiang Zhiping left in a hurry with the other Sixth Heavenly Layer expert.
As for Xiang Chengzhu, he continued to stand guard without even setting a foot away from his post. He had a duty. Unless the ancestors summoned him, he could not leave this place.
However, Xiang Zhiping’s words still surprised Xiang Chengzhu. He murmured, “Xiang Zhiru has gone missing? How is that possible? Unless it’s an Immortal Exalt, who can kill her silently? At the same time, forbidden ground number three seems to imprison some insignificant figures too.”
“Though, who exactly is bold enough to come to our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants and make trouble? Are they really tired of living?”
As soon as he said that, Xiang Chengzhu seemed to sense something. He subconsciously turned around and looked behind him.
The sight before him immediately made his eyes narrow.
A colossal, gorgeous flower had already appeared behind him before he knew it, casting a huge, pitch-black shadow that enveloped him.
In the next moment, a terrifying suction force appeared, and Xiang Chengzhu was sucked into the Immortal Devouring Orchid without any resistance.
Only Xiang Chengzhu was stationed all year round in the forbidden ground that imprisoned the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. Now that even him, the guard, had gone missing, all of the obstacles in the forbidden ground had vanished.
However, Xiang Chengzhu’s disappearance did not mean the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt would be able to break free. The eighteen golden chains that restrained him served as the final safeguard.
Attacks that had not reached the level of Immortal Exalts could not destroy these metal chains at all.
Jian Chen arrived before the golden chains. With his current strength, he was powerless over the golden chains as well unless he used the twin swords.
But fortunately, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had already reached Immortal Exalt.
And it was an Immortal Exalt whose attacks had far surpassed its peers of the same cultivation!
“Do it! Destroy these chains!” Jian Chen ordered the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid immediately took action. Several colossal vines tore through the air, directly striking the golden chains.
Immediately, the space there twisted as pitch-black cracks appeared one after another.
Each vine from the Immortal Devouring Orchid possessed devastating power. It tore through the space there and produced waves of energy, forcefully enlarging the underground cavern slightly.
Boom!
The colossal vines from the Immortal Devouring Orchid struck one of the golden chains at the same time, immediately erupting with a startling rumble.
The golden chain glowed brightly. Great power radiated outwards as if it tried to block the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s attack with its toughness and defences.
However, the golden chain only lasted for a second before producing a crisp crack and breaking apart.
One of the eighteen golden chains that restrained the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had been severed.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid did not stop. It swung out with its thick vines again and again. The great energy of an Immortal Exalt wreaked havoc in the cavern. Terrifying waves of energy slammed against the walls again and again.
Immediately, colossal cracks appeared on the walls of the cavern. The formations used to fortify the walls were unable to withstand such powerful storms of energy, and they all shattered.
Not all the formations in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants could stop Immortal Exalts.
Under the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s furious attacks, the eighteen golden chains rapidly decreased in number. The restraint over the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt rapidly weakened too.
However, if even one of the golden chains remained, it could restrain the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. With the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s current feeble state, he struggled to break free with his own strength.
“Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, the Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants aren’t here right now. If you want to escape, this is your only opportunity.” Jian Chen stood beside the Immortal Devouring Orchid. A few heavenly resources appeared in his hand, and he directly cast them into the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s soul.
They were all mid grade God Tier heavenly resources.
However, Jian Chen felt like they were not enough, so he took out over a dozen mid grade God Tier pills and tossed them towards the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s body.
Whether it was the heavenly resources or God Tier pills, they all vanished as soon as they approached the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s soul and body, all having been absorbed by him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As he did this, the eighteen golden chains were destroyed one by one by the Immortal Devouring Orchid. The painful howls of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt gradually vanished as well. The suppression was growing weaker and weaker.
However, the underground space where Jian Chen resided also began to cave in.
The strength of an Immortal Exalt was far too terrifying. It had already destroyed the structural integrity here, so the cavern could no longer be maintained.
The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was also heavily affected. At this moment, the entire ground that the sect stood on shook violently. Large, dense cracks appeared.
It was also at this moment that the various Immortal Emperor great elders dispatched to important parts of the sect sensed the abnormalities. They looked in the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s direction.
With that, all of their faces changed.
“Oh no, something is happening where the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt is imprisoned. Someone is trying to rescue the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt!”
“Those who are capable of saving the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt are definitely Immortal Exalts. Quick, retrieve the ancestral sect treasure…”
