Chapter 3961: The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor
In the spatial tunnel, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor fell silent momentarily. It seemed like he also did not expect the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor to be willing to go to war over something as trifling as his daughter being harassed.
That also renewed the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s understanding of the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s doting for his daughter.
“Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, this kid has killed four great elders of our Immortal Feather sect. When we tried to capture him, Xing Caijian stood forward and stopped us. How do you plan on explaining this, Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor?” the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt said sternly.
“He is truly audacious to the extreme to kill four great elders of our Immortal Feather sect. If your Heavenly Star Palace cannot give us a satisfying proposal to settle this, a battle between us will be unavoidable.” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s authoritative voice rang out from the spatial tunnel, also filled with determination.
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor furrowed his brows when he heard that. The Immortal Feather sect had lost four great elders? That was not a small matter.
He turned towards Xing Caijian, and all of the forcefulness in his voice vanished. It was replaced by gentleness and deep doting. “Tell your father, why are you protecting this person so much? You weren’t like this before. What you’ve done today is even making me suspect that you’ve been possessed. Why have you suddenly developed interest in a man, going as far as to risk your life to protect him?”
“Though, your actions are quite similar to what I did back then.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor seemed to remember a memory. He said emotionally, “Back then, when I first met your mother, my behaviour was not too different either. No matter how great the resistance I faced, I did everything I could to protect her.”
As soon as he reached there, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor suddenly felt that something was amiss. He stared at Xing Caijian in interest and said in surprise, “D-don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to this kid?”
When this thought crossed the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s head, it became more believable the more he thought about it. He subconsciously looked at Jian Chen and said, “Kid, you sure are fortunate to obtain such an extraordinary mask. This should be left behind by a supreme expert of the Illusion Daemon race. With this mask disguising you, there are only a small handful of people even across the entire Immortals’ World who can see through it. Though, you do have quite a striking appearance, so you are worthy of my daughter.”
“Though, the only thing that displeases me is that you’ve created quite a large inconvenience for the Heavenly Star Palace.”
Xing Caijian was in a daze. She stared straight at the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor. Her face was filled with extreme speechlessness and disbelief. She never imagined that her father would come up with such an inconceivable idea.
Actually, it was not the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s fault for coming up with an idea like that. He understood his daughter far too well. Over all these years, Xing Caijian had never shown any interest in any man, yet she had suddenly placed such great emphasis on an unfamiliar man, even going as far as risking her life to protect him. Apart from developing feelings for him, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor was unable to come up with any other reason.
“Dad, what kind of nonsense are you on about? Yang Yutian is only my acquaintance. It’s nothing like what you said.” Xing Caijian immediately became exasperated once she returned to her senses.
“Hehe, you’ve lost your cool just with this? Looks like I’m right.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor behaved like he had already seen through her.
“Whatever, I can’t be bothered with explaining it to you. Senior Heavenly Star knows the reason. You can go ask senior Heavenly Star.” Xing Caijian snorted gently.
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor reached out and ripped open the space with absolute force, directly extending his hand into the spatial crack as if he could bypass any concept of distance. He immediately grabbed the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star that battled the Feather Plume Fan in the depths of the spatial crack before forcefully bringing it back.
In the next moment, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star returned, hovering before the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor.
At the same time, the Feather Plume Fan returned from the spatial crack as well, radiating with the pressure of a sovereign god artifact as it hovered above the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt’s head.
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor ignored the Feather Plume Fan from the Immortal Feather sect. He looked at the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, having begun communicating with its artifact spirit already.
But very soon, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor trembled gently. It was extremely gentle, but this only demonstrated just how much shock he felt for something like that to happen to an expert of his level.
On the other side, the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt was stern. The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor had already found out about the existence of the sovereign god artifact. If the Heavenly Star Palace really were to participate in this scramble for it, the matter would become troublesome. There was even a possibility for the situation to lose control and develop in unexpected ways.
“No matter what, I can’t let the Heavenly Star Palace leave with the sovereign god artifact. A sovereign god artifact that primarily focuses on recovery is even more important than offensive sovereign god artifacts. If this item falls into the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s possession, none of the twelve courts of heaven will be able to threaten him anymore apart from the Waymight clan…” the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt thought. He was certain that the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor also understood this fact.
On the other hand, if the soveriegn god artifact ended up in the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s possession, the Immortal Feather sect’s strength would definitely swell among the twelve courts of heaven.
On the other side, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor turned his head slowly, looking at Jian Chen sternly for the first time. However, his current body was condensed from the endless stars. His entire figure was surrounded in starlight, obscuring his face, so no one was able to see the emotion on the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s face right now.
Jian Chen’s heart tightened. He felt an invisible gaze land on him as if it was trying to see through him completely.
The last time he experienced this feeling was when he faced the Heavenly Talisman Venerable in person in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
Both the Heavenly Talisman Venerable and the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor could see through him with a single glance. Even though heavenly emperors could not see through all of his secrets any more as his strength increased, the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race would still be useless before them.
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor stared at Jian Chen silently. He did not say a single word, nor did he take any action. Only a while later did he slowly look away, turning his attention back to the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt. “You can’t take this person with you!”
This time, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s voice was very calm, but his calm tone made the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt’s heart sink suddenly. He could already hear the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s determination from it.
“Senior heavenly emperor, as long as Yang Yutian hands over the sovereign god artifact on him, our feud with him will be settled in its entirety,” the Wayless Immortal Exalt said sternly.
“Your Immortal Feather sect actually chooses to be so shameless. Hmph, you want the sovereign god artifact? I’m afraid your Immortal Feather sect isn’t capable enough!” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor gripped the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star’s hilt. His presence erupted.
“Does your Heavenly Star Palace really want to go to war with our Immortal Feather sect?” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s voice rang out from the spatial tunnel, expressing his determination.
“War it is then! Am I supposed to be afraid of you?” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor flared up over the slightest provocation. As his presence swelled, the endless starlight on him immediately rushed upwards, forming a glorious galaxy that charged directly into the spatial tunnel with magnificent colour.
The spatial tunnel shook violently as if it was about to shatter from the tremendous power. However, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s power swept over, forcefully propping up the spatial tunnel that was on the brink of collapse.
On the other side in the Immortal Feather sect, the faces of countless disciples paled. The power of the heavenly emperor descended with a great disturbance. The devastating might was enough to collapse the minds of those with weaker mental fortitude.
Before the vast power, even some Immortal Exalts could not help but develop a feeling of insignificance.
This was the power of a heavenly emperor, the extreme might from a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Its strength could no longer be compared to regular Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.
