Chapter 3963: The Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor
“Looks like you’re also determined to obtain this kid’s sovereign god artifact. However, the people of your Heavenly Star Palace aren’t going to get here that quickly. With me to stop you, just Thousand Daggeraxe is enough to deal with him.” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor was confident.
“Does your Immortal Feather sect really plan on fighting our Heavenly Star Palace to the death?” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s voice became frosty.
The atmosphere in the surroundings immediately became extremely oppressive. An intense clash between two heavenly emperors would be a major matter even to the entire Immortals’ World.
“Senior, just let me leave by myself.” At this moment, Jian Chen communicated to the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor from behind him.
He was currently surrounded by the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power of stars. The contents of his message were perfectly hidden, so even the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor could not eavesdrop on their conversation.
“Don’t worry. The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor won’t be able to take you away. With me around, no one will be able to touch you today,” the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor replied. His gruff voice became much gentler.
“But if I don’t go, a battle between the Heavenly Star Palace and the Immortal Feather sect will be unavoidable. That’s not something I want to see,” Jian Chen said.
“If we fight, then we fight. What’s there to be afraid of? Since you are the successor chosen by the twin swords, then you are equivalent to the old senior’s disciple. Even if our Heavenly Star Palace mobilises every single person, we’ll ensure your safety.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor was determined. Afterwards, following a slight pause, he said, “Moreover, just the Immortal Feather sect is not enough to force our Heavenly Star Palace into such a situation.”
“Senior, the conflict between the Heavenly Star Palace and the Immortal Feather sect is completely avoidable. I have the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race to disguise me. As long as I leave, it’s virtually impossible for the Immortal Feather sect to find me. On the other hand, if I remain here, not only will a battle between the Immortal Feather sect and the Heavenly Star Palace be unavoidable, but the matter probably will not end here today either,” Jian Chen said sternly. He had realised that if he stayed here, the situation would only become worse.
“No. Letting you leave alone is just too dangerous.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s voice was filled with concern.
“Senior heavenly emperor, please forgive me for saying this. I don’t really know the exact relationship between the twelve courts of heaven, but I can roughly guess that even the courts of heaven will have hostile and friendly relationships with one another. The Immortal Feather sect has already made up their minds about seeing the situation today to the very end. They won’t be backing down. Senior heavenly emperor can stop the Immortal Feather sect, but if you press the Immortal Feather sect too far, the Heavenly Star Palace will probably still struggle if they decide to invite other courts of heaven to support them.” Jian Chen tried to persuade him.
“Hahahaha, little brother, you underestimate just how much sway your identity holds. I can’t guarantee anything else, but once you disclose your identity, at least half of the courts of heaven will stand on your side. The Immortal Feather sect is nothing,” said the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor.
“Senior, it is inconvenient for me to disclose my identity prematurely. Let alone the fact that we don’t know exactly how many courts of heaven will sincerely want to help me, even if eleven of them are sincere, so what? As long as one court of heaven secretly disagrees, I am still in danger,” Jian Chen said in a daze.
When he heard that, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s eyes shone. He immediately connected what Jian Chen said at the end with something, which made him fall silent.
“Letting things get out of hand bring us no benefit at all. As a result, please let me leave by myself, senior.” Jian Chen struck while the iron was hot. The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor had arrived in person. The nature of things had changed. He did not want the relationship between the Heavenly Star Palace and the Immortal Feather sect to devolve past a point of no return either.
Nearby, Xing Caijian was stern as she also stayed under the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s protection. Without the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, their Heavenly Star Palace could protect Jian Chen forcefully. Even the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt could not stop them.
However, she never anticipated the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor to come here in person.
Someone like that virtually spent all of their time in secluded cultivation. Rarely did they ever bother with external affairs. Let alone tens of thousands of years, they could spend millions of years without ever emerging.
Now that the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor had come in person, Xing Caijian had lost her confidence as well.
“The Immortal Feather sect is not the only people who want you. There are many mid Immortal Exalts. Yang Yutian, are you certain that you can slip away under their noses?” Xing Caijian looked at Jian Chen. She was extremely stern. There was also a hint of guilt like she owed him.
She knew that Jian Chen was originally capable of slipping away with ease. In the end, it was her who made him stay, which instead dragged him into this disadvantageous situation.
When he heard what she said, Jian Chen smiled confidently. “This isn’t the Skyscraping World. In the Skyscraping World, they can use the unique environment to find me easily, but how are they supposed to find me in this expansive Immortals’ World?”
“Through the mask and the armour, your concealment is indeed flawless.” Xing Caijian looked at the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor and said, “Father, given the current situation, we can only let Yang Yutian leave by himself. This stalemate won’t end well.”
“Leaving by yourself is riddled with danger. You will face many unknown perils. Have you really made up your mind?” the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor said sternly.
“Please don’t worry, senior. I may come nowhere close to you, senior, but I do have some ability for self-preservation,” said Jian Chen.
“I’d like to see how your Heavenly Star Palace stops me today!” said the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor coldly. His body erupted with light as he ripped open space. The colour constantly changed within the shattered space. In the end, an old, grey tower appeared from inside. It was riddled with a sense of antiquity. It was very ancient.
However, when the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor saw the grey tower, his face immediately changed.
“Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor, you owed our Immortal Feather sect a favour in the past. Now, I’m going to use this favour to request for your assistance.” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor looked at the tower.
“Against who?” An ancient voice rang out from the tower.
“The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor!” the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor said.
“Chaotic Star?” The voice from the tower was surprised. “You want to use my favour to sow internal discord? Do you really want to do that?”
On the other side, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor was stern. He never expected the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor to ask for assistance so decisively. He had even asked for help from another heavenly emperor.
“Oh no! Go!” the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor called out. He formed a seal with his fingers before suddenly pointing it at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen only felt a tremendous force wrap around him. By the time he responded, he discovered that he seemed to have turned into a star. In the next moment, the star erupted with devastating power, annihilating space and taking off into the distance with him. He immediately vanished into the end of the sea of stars.
The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor obviously would not let Jian Chen leave like this. Great power radiated from his body, turning into a magnificent bridge. It also shattered space, racing after Jian Chen.
Boom! With a rumble, the bridge that pursued Jian Chen shattered. The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor had taken action. The resplendent power of stars permeated space, stopping the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor.
“Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor, help me capture that kid!” the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor called out. He was embroiled with the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, so he could not break free. The Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt was unable to catch up to Jian Chen either with his speed.
Right now, Jian Chen travelled away under the power of the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor. Only Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts could keep up with this unmatched speed.
“You want to use my favour to deal with a junior? Soaring Immortal, you might not find that embarrassing but I do. Sigh, whatever. Who can help the fact that I owe you a favour?” An illusionary figure emerged from the ancient tower. It vanished into the depths of the sea of stars with a single step, chasing after Jian Chen.
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s heart suddenly sank. He wanted to stop the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor, but he was busy with the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor.
“It’ll be troublesome now!” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor was aware that the power he left with Jian Chen was completely insufficient to escape from a supreme expert like the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor. Once the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor caught up, even the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race would be useless.
