Chapter 3960: The Heavenly Emperor Arrives
With the swing of the Feather Plume Fan, resplendent light immediately wove together in the air, forming a destructive whirlwind that rushed towards the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.
As the whirlwind advanced, the turbulent power it contained tore space to shreds like paper. Even the laws were affected, producing fluctuations.
“Oh no! Retreat! Retreat quickly!”
The Immortal Exalts present retreated again and again with their disciples and subordinates. Their faces were filled with madness as they completely left the area.
Even Zuo Dao and the Heavenloss Master who were the closest to Jian Chen immediately fled into the distance, afraid of being affected by the clash.
The destructive whirlwind created by the Feather Plume Fan made contact with the curtain produced by the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star. As the two powers collided, the space split open silently. A ten-metre-wide black hole appeared, emitting a great suction force. It absorbed all of the destructive power produced by the clash between the two sovereign god artifacts.
The first clash between the two sovereign god artifacts ended silently. It did not have too great an impact on the surroundings as originally anticipated.
Of course, that was because they were both intentionally controlling their power. Otherwise, the destructive storms created from a full-powered clash could easily heavily injure early Immortal Exalts given the might of two sovereign god artifacts powered by the energy of heavenly emperors.
The curtain that the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star used to protect Jian Chen shook violently. The sword intent inside dissipated rapidly. It was quickly depleted by the destructive whirlwind produced by the Feather Plume Fan.
Shortly afterwards, the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt swung the Feather Plume Fan again. The power this time was clearly even greater. The blinding light wove together, shining even brighter than a sun. No one could stare directly at it.
Immediately, the curtain produced by the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star shook even more violently. Tiny cracks had already been ripped open.
But very soon, a new power emerged from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, stabilising the shaking sword intent.
“With just the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, your Heavenly Star Palace won’t be able to protect this person!” The Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt stared at the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star icily.
As soon as he said that, the Feather Plume Fan left his control, turning into a ball of blinding light that shot towards the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star. Wherever it passed by, space twisted as time descended into chaos. It used absolute force to interfere with the stability of this time and space.
In the next moment, the Feather Plume Fan and the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star vanished at the same time. It had forcefully dragged the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star into a spatial crack. It unleashed its pressure as a sovereign god artifact without holding back, embroiling in a startling battle.
At that moment, everyone could see two balls of blinding light constantly clash in the depths of the spatial crack, erupting with devastating might.
The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star might have been a complete sovereign god artifact, but the Feather Plume Fan of the Immortal Feather sect was no weaker. Coupled with the fact that they both contained the energy of heavenly emperors, the difference between them was not that large. Their battle would not reach a conclusion any time soon.
However, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star served as Xing Caijian’s greatest weapon in her arsenal. Now that it was occupied by the Feather Plume Fan, she no longer possessed a trump card that could fend off the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt.
“Little girl, let’s see how you protect this person now,” said the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt as if victory was already within his grasp. An invisible power emanated from his body, immediately flooding this space and turning it into an individual domain.
Anything that occurred within this domain would be in the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt’s grasp.
He clearly took this additional step to prevent Jian Chen from escaping.
“Senior, do you really think our Heavenly Star Palace is powerless once you keep the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star occupied? Today, your Immortal Feather sect definitely won’t be able to take Yang Yutian away.” Xing Caijian’s face was frosty. She yelled out at the empty space, “Dad, if you still don’t come out, your daughter is going to be bullied by the Immortal Feather sect.”
When he heard that, the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt’s face changed drastically. He immediately stopped hesitating, taking action decisively. He used his immense cultivation to condense a hand that reached towards Jian Chen, wanting to forcefully abduct him before the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor arrived.
“How dare you! I’d like to see who has the courage to bully my daughter!” At this moment, a resounding voice boomed through the world. A sea of stars appeared in an empty patch of space, glimmering with countless specks. Each star was blinding, possessing unimaginable power.
Shortly afterwards, one of the stars emitted a blinding streak of light. It pierced through the void, penetrating the hand of energy before slamming into the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt’s chest mercilessly with its residual power.
Boom! With a grunt, the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt staggered backwards. His organs surged as his face became flushed.
On the other side, the sea of stars condensed together to form a resplendent figure. The power of stars revolved around him like he was an embodiment of galaxies.
That was the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor!
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s appearance made the surroundings surge. Many of the Immortal Exalts felt their blood boil with emotion and excitement.
Even across the entire Immortals’ World, heavenly emperors were lofty figures, only second to Grand Exalts. To many Immortal Exalts, someone like that only existed in legends. They could spend their entire lives without ever being able to witness someone like that in person.
As a result, being able to personally witness the glory of a heavenly emperor was something worth boasting about for many early Immortal Exalts.
“Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, I never thought you’d actually come in person.” The Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt stared straight at the figure condensed from the stars. There was deep wariness in the depths of his eyes.
“How bold of your Immortal Feather sect, to think that you’d even have the courage to bully my daughter. Hmph, if my daughter is even missing a hair, I’ll bring a whole gang of people from the Heavenly Star Palace to your Immortal Feather sect. We’ll flip your ancestral grounds upside down,” the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor said furiously. He was forceful and blunt, clearly revealing that his doting for his daughter had already reached the point where he could no longer be reasoned with.
“Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, your Heavenly Star Palace is being far too forceful.” An obscure voice rang out. It was gentle and tranquil as if it could influence the emotions of the cultivators present. Everyone who heard the voice, regardless of cultivation, became extremely calm inside. They felt like all of their restlessness and negative emotions had been pacified.
This was the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s voice. It originated from the spatial tunnel created by the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt through a secret technique.
Since the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor had appeared, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor could not remain hidden behind the scenes anymore.
“Soaring Immortal, you want to bully my daughter too?” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly. The starlight around him became blinding. A beam of almost-tangible light shot out from his eyes, piercing the spatial tunnel with unstoppable might. It directly entered the vicinity of the Immortal Feather sect like the might of the heavens.
A huge eye opened within the darkness behind the structures of the Immortal Feather sect, meeting the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s tangible gaze. As the invisible powers collided, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s gaze gradually dispersed.
At that moment, many cultivators looked at the sky with pale faces between the structures in the Immortal Feather sect. The meeting of the two gazes made them feel extremely oppressed like they were about to suffocate to death.
Some of the upper echelon from the Immortal Feather sect felt uneasy inside. They had no idea what had happened that had actually left the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor so furious.
“Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, are you provoking my Immortal Feather sect?” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s grand voice rang out again, filled with great authority.
“Hahahaha, a mighty Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt has actually come here in person to bully my daughter. My daughter isn’t even an Immortal Exalt yet. Your Immortal Feather sect has gone so far, yet you still have the face to say I’m provoking you? Yeah, I am provoking you. So what?” the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor said furiously. He had a child at such an advanced age. His daughter did not come easily, so he obviously doted on her dearly. How could he let his own daughter suffer even the slightest?
In the distance, the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster sighed inside. He had underestimated Xing Caijian’s status in the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s heart. He had also underestimated the lengths that the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor was willing to go to for the sake of her. If Xing Caijian were missing even a hair, he had no doubt that the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor would go to war against the Immortal Feather sect.
As for whether the Heavenly Star Palace would actually fall out with the Immortal Feather sect, that no longer seemed so important anymore.
