Chapter 2547: Sudden Change

Light shone like a resplendent river of stars, illuminating the dark outer space.

The expert of the Way of the Sword struck out once again. Clad with light, sword intent surged from his body. Every time he struck out, he would shatter space. He was extremely powerful.

On the other side, the Rain Abbess was wrapped in the power of clouds and rain as lightning danced in her surroundings. With the Laws of Space revolving around her, she struck out mightily with her thin sword, clashing with the expert of the Way of the Sword.

Their battle was extremely intense. Every strike and move was devastating. Even the stars shook as if they were trembling in fear.

In a mere five seconds, the two of them had clashed hundreds of times. They went from close to the Delight Plane to the depths of outer space. The dark, cold space collapsed from their battles, and spatial cracks were strewn everywhere. Huge, black holes appeared one after another.

All the ancient and powerful existences extended the senses of their souls from the Delight Plane. They paid close attention to this battle as the two experts travelled further and further into outer space.

All of these people were supreme figures who stood at the peak of a plane. They were Grand Primes, and the senses of their souls were extremely powerful. They could easily envelope an entire plane, so they were able to follow the battle.

“The Rain Abbess has actually encountered an opponent…”

“This expert is at the Fifth Heavenly Layer at the very least. He might even be at the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer since he is able to match up to the Rain Abbess…”

“The Rain Abbess is far more powerful than we previously imagined. Even such a terrifying expert of the Way of the Sword isn’t able to keep her at bay…”

“The Empyrean Demon Cult cannot be underestimated. Apart from their legendary great elder, there’s actually such a great expert of the Way of the Sword as well…”

…

The grand elder, Cheng Ming, continued to collect the Innate Spiritual Liquid and the Innate Spiritual Mud at an unhurried pace within the forbidden grounds of the Cloudsurge Empire.

Both of these items were naturally created. They were extremely precious and needed to be stored carefully. As a result, it was impossible for the grand elder to move quickly in the first place.

The liquid and mud within the tiny pond gradually decreased.

On the other hand, Jian Chen discovered that he had nothing to do. He even began to doubt why the grand elder had taken him into the forbidden grounds, as he had realised that he was of no help here at all.

If he were outside, he could collect the corpses that fell in battle at the very least. It would provide the Immortal Devouring Orchid with nourishment.

However, in the forbidden grounds, there was truly nothing that he could do.

“Don’t worry. If nothing unexpected happens, we have three days.” The grand elder was very composed. Everything was well planned as if it were all under his control.

In outer space, the Rain Abbess also sensed the Innate Spiritual Liquid and Innate Spiritual Mud decrease. She could not help but become worried. They had been taken from a Xuanhuang Microcosm, so they were contaminated with Xuanhuang Qi, making them extremely precious. Every portion she lost would be a huge loss.

Unfortunately, she was busy with a powerful opponent. She could not break free from the battle, so she was in no state to worry about what was happening on the Delight Plane

“Solitary Sword Ancestor, if you insist on entangling with me, I will treat you as my greatest enemy. You will definitely regret this,” the Rain Abbess said. Her icy-cold voice was furious.

“I’m only doing this because of someone’s request. I need to keep you busy for three days. After those three days, I’ll leave by myself.” An old voice rang out from the resplendent light.

The expert of the Way of the Sword was the Solitary Sword Ancestor.

“Solitary Sword Ancestor!” The Rain Abbess called out furiously. As she said that, violent power of space surged out from the surrounding, collapsing space and forming a huge spatial vortex that enveloped the Solitary Sword Ancestor.

At the same time, the power of the Laws of Space permeated the region, constantly affecting the space near the Solitary Sword Ancestor in an attempt to get in his way.

The Solitary Sword Ancestor dealt with this with composure. He slashed out with his sword. The light was extremely terrifying, nullifying all of the Rain Abbess’ attacks.

For a moment, the Rain Abbess and the Solitary Sword Ancestor were locked in a stalemate. Their battle prowess matched each others’, so neither party could do anything to their opponent.

However, at this moment, an azure figure suddenly shot out from the collapsed space. It had appeared there silently, without raising any attention. It arrived behind the Solitary Sword Ancestor in a flash. It dealt a swift attack without any hesitation at all.

The Solitary Sword Ancestor was facing the Rain Abbess with his full strength, so he was in no state to divert his attention. Coupled with the interference from the Rain Abbess’ power of space, his senses were obscured. As a result, he was struck by the azure light after being caught off-guard.

Bang!

Immediately, there was a thud, and the Solitary Sword Ancestor was blasted away. The light around him collapsed, revealing his appearance.

His old face was rather pale, and there was a plate-sized hole in his chest. Blood dyed his clothes red.

“Azure Peng King, I never thought it would be you,” Even though he was heavily injured, the Solitary Sword Ancestor remained composed. However, his gaze was piercing. His voice was slightly sternly.

“This king owes the Rain Abbess a favour. I’ve come to return the favour this time.” The azure light faded and revealed the Azure Peng King. He stared at the Solitary Sword Ancestor calmly. He was at ease.

In the next moment, the Azure Peng King struck out again. He charged towards the Solitary Sword Ancestor as a streak of azure light with his unmatched speed, fighting alongside the Rain Abbess.

The Solitary Sword Ancestor was no weaker than either of them. As a matter of fact, he was much more powerful than the Azure Peng King. However, now that he faced the two of them simultaneously, he immediately lost the upper hand and was forced back.

“Wind! Clouds! Thunder! Rain!” The Rain Abbess called out. She formed a seal with her hands, and an inscription of primitive simplicity condensed there. The bearing of ways circulated within it, seemingly resonating with the ways of the world. In the end, it struck the Solitary Sword Ancestor’s sword.

Immediately, the Solitary Sword Ancestor’s sword produced a clear thrum as it constantly trembled. The light dimmed, having been dispersed, and the Solitary Sword Ancestor was knocked back.

“I can’t last three days with the Azure Peng King here now. I am powerless. Farewell!” The Solitary Sword Ancestor’s face was cold. He stowed his sword away and murmured sternly. In the next moment, he vanished into the depths of space as a streak of light.

At the same time, Cheng Ming paused in his collection of mud and fluid. The Solitary Sword Ancestor’s message directly reached his ears, immediately making him stern.

“Something has happened. We can’t stay here. We need to go.” Cheng Ming stopped without any hesitation and called for Jian Chen, directly taking out the Heaven-linking Bridge to open a path to the outside.
