Chapter 3965: The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance
After the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor left, the Illusionary Ancestor turned around and stared in the direction that Jian Chen had departed in. By now, she was unable to see Jian Chen at all. With this small delay, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s power had already taken him far away, vanishing into the depths of the sea of stars.
“First, it was a battle between the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor and the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, and then it was the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor’s pursuit through outer space. In the end, I never expected that even you would actually come, Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance. The storms stirred up by this little guy really aren’t of an ordinary magnitude.” The Illusionary Ancestor looked in the direction that Jian Chen had vanished in as she seemingly muttered to herself.
As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly lit up. The Laws of the Sword condensed in outer space before turning into a blinding figure in the end.
It was the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords, one of the twelve courts of heaven!
However, it clearly was not the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance’s main body. It was only a clone condensed from the Laws of the Sword. It shone with blinding light like a god.
“Looks like you’re familiar with this person?” the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance said. The illusionary eyes hidden within the blinding light seemed to stare at the Illusionary Ancestor casually.
“I happened to meet him once. I happen to find this little guy very agreeable,” said the Illusionary Ancestor. Afterwards, she looked at the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance. There were some hints of respect in her voice. “Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance, have you also come for this little guy?”
“I came for the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor. The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor urgently messaged me to hold off the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor. I came in such a hurry, so I didn’t even have time to understand the situation,” said the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance. Shortly afterwards, his eyes began to flicker with light as he peered into this matter. He tried to get to the bottom of this.
With their cultivation, they no longer needed to ask others to learn about many matters. They only needed to peer into it slightly. They could gaze into the past and future, learning many secrets of the world.
But very soon, a smear of surprise appeared in the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance’s eyes, as he had discovered that he was unable to peer into any details regarding Jian Chen.
“So you were invited by the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor. And I had thought that the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance had specially come for this little guy,” said the Illusionary Ancestor with a smile as she let out a sigh of relief inside.
“Since Universe Breaching is already gone, it’s time for me to leave as well. Farewell!” The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance said nothing more. He turned around and left, vanishing into the depths of the sea of stars instantly.
The Illusionary Ancestor remained where she was. She gazed off in the direction that the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance had left in with some mixed emotions. Only after a moment of silence did she let out a gentle sigh. “With the passing of time, people change. Among these courts of heaven, just how many of them still remain true to themselves? Little guy, there isn’t much that I can help you with…”
A terrifying storm of energy raged like a tsunami in the space outside the Skyscraping World, tearing apart the surroundings to the point where it struggled to heal.
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor and the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor remained locked in battle.
At this moment, a figure of light arrived from afar. It directly pierced the storm of energy created by the battle between the two heavenly emperors and entered the heart of the storm.
It was the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor of the Tower of Myriad Worlds!
At this moment, the laws circulated around the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor, blocking all of the energy that approached him. He looked at the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor and sighed gently. “I wasn’t able to bring that person back. Soaring Immortal, I’ll have to return the favour I owe you next time.”
When he heard that, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s heart sank. His face darkened.
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor could not help but laugh aloud. His uneasiness finally settled down.
With the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor’s return, the battle between the two heavenly emperors came to a halt. They were only keeping each other busy. There was no longer any need to keep fighting now.
“Was it the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords that stopped you?” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor looked at the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor. He was stern.
“The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance was indeed present. After all these years, he’s become even more powerful than before.” The Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor sighed emotionally. The Illusionary Ancestor’s figure appeared in his head, but he did not disclose anything about her in the end.
As long as he made no mention of her, even heavenly emperors were unable to peer into existences like the Illusionary Ancestor.
After saying that, the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor vanished, having left already. He had no interest in the matters that occurred here.
At this moment, lofty Laws of the Sword suddenly descended. In the next moment, a figure condensed from the laws appeared out of nowhere. It was the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance.
Sensing the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance’s presence, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could clearly sense that the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance’s presence was visibly stronger than before.
“The Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor is right. The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance is indeed growing stronger!” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor was secretly shocked.
“Thank you, Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance!” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor smiled complacently. He began to exchange pleasantries with the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance.
“And I was wondering what kind of conflict you had with the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor. Turns out it’s just for a junior. Chaotic Star, you’ve paid quite the price to protect that junior.” The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance looked at the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor.
“Hahahaha, it’s worth it no matter how great the price!” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor was unconcerned. He was in a great mood, forming a clear contrast to the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s sunken face.
“The junior’s name is Yang Yutian. He killed four great elders of our Immortal Feather sect. Fellow Sword Radiance, our Immortal Feather sect already has a blood feud with this kid. I do hope that you won’t get involved in this. This matter might develop beyond the point of no return,” the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor said sternly.
The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance furrowed his brows slightly. He had killed four great elders of the Immortal Feather sect? This was quite a major matter. Any peak organisation would be infuriated over the loss of four great elders.
“Fellow Sword Radiance, I am hoping that you can hand him to our Immortal Feather sect,” the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor continued.
“He’s not with me,” the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance said calmly.
“He’s not with you?” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor refused to believe it. In his eyes, if the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor was willing to go to such great lengths to protect Jian Chen, it was definitely because he eyed the healing sovereign god artifact as well. Why would he let him get away?
However, when he thought of the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance’s identity and personality, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor was unable to doubt him.
That was because the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance would never stoop as low as lying.
“Hahahaha, that little brother’s cultivation might not be very high, but his hiding ability is absolutely outstanding. Soaring Immortal, it’ll be almost impossible for you to find him now.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor chuckled.
“Chaotic Star, who is he?” the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance asked. His eyes shone. He could sense that something was slightly off with the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor.
As a heavenly emperor, why would he care about an Immortal Emperor junior so much?
“Fellow Sword Radiance, please pay a visit to the Heavenly Star Palace,” said the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance nodded. He did not refuse.
“Lan Caidie, I’ve already learnt from Caijian about everything that happened in the Skyscraping World. You’ve done very well. You haven’t disappointed me.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor gazed into the distance and praised Lan Caidie.
“To be able to assist the heavenly emperor is not only an honour for me but also the paramount duty of our entire Ghost Immortal cult.” Lan Caidie was overjoyed. Her eyes were filled with admiration.
Afterwards, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor returned to the Heavenly Star Palace with Xing Caijian and the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance. The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor also returned to the Immortal Feather sect, leaving behind the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt and the Wayless Immortal Exalt to scour the Immortals’ World for Jian Chen. At the same time, they increased their bounty on Jian Chen. The bountiful reward they offered even tempted many Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Immortals’ World.
