Chapter 3589: Defeating Li Shan


Chapter 3589: Defeating Li Shan

After all, there was still a sizable difference in their cultivations.

However, Immortal Emperor Li Shan did not have it easy either. His face became uglier and uglier, more and more sunken. At the very end, his eyes erupted with cold killing intent and intense hatred.

He had used the Divine Force of the Heavenly Shield to block Jian Chen’s attacks, but the stronger the attacks that it received, the more energy he expended.

Now, under Jian Chen’s barrage of attacks, Immortal Emperor Li Shan directly expended far more energy than he had been anticipating, which was the exact opposite of what he was after.

Originally, he thought that he could easily defeat Jian Chen after the promised thirty seconds. Then he could spend all of the remaining time to recover freely.

However, he had never expected to deplete so much energy for nothing due to his own lapse in judgment, which left him so furious that he even turned pale.

Immortal Emperor Li Shan swallowed a few God tier pills with a darkened face. He continued to endure the attacks arduously, only relying on his protective energy and his god artifact armour to block Jian Chen’s attacks.

Very soon, the thirty seconds were over!

“Chang Yang, you better not blame me for what happens next.”

As soon as the time had elapsed, Immortal Emperor Li Shan finally erupted like a volcano that had stayed dormant for a very long time. He let out a furious roar as a high quality god artifact war hammer appeared in his hand, which he slammed down with lightning speed.

As the war hammer crushed through the air, it erupted with blinding light. A tremendous pressure filled the surroundings, unleashing a colossal might that could even make Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors pale.

Immortal Emperor Li Shan’s swing was no regular attack. Instead, he had used a God Tier Immortal Technique of terrifying power!

Jian Chen was unfazed. He did not panic at all. However, his gaze became extremely sharp.

In the next moment, his ultimate will turned into an invisible blade, immediately severing the connection between Immortal Emperor Li Shan and his God Tier Immortal Technique.

Immediately, the tremendous might that could even make peak Immortal Emperors pale vanished completely. The God Tier Immortal Technique that Immortal Emperor Li Shan had used at the cost of vast amounts of energy was reduced to the most of regular attacks in the end.

“W-what’s going on?”

Immortal Emperor Li Shan was taken aback. His face was filled with disbelief. He had clearly used his God Tier Immortal Technique successfully already, yet it ended up failing for some strange reason. This was unheard of.

Just as Immortal Emperor Li Shan had blanked out, Jian Chen did not hesitate at all. With a single movement, he dodged Immortal Emperor Li Shan’s strike that had run out of power, slashing at him from afar.

When he slashed out, his sword and a small part of his arm suddenly vanished. He used the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike, piercing all of Immortal Emperor Li Shan’s defences and reaching straight into his body.

Immortal Emperor Li Shan’s expression changed drastically. He only felt a powerful sword Qi appear inside his body without any prior signs. Before this sword Qi, his organs were as feeble as jelly. They were torn to shreds with ease.

Spurt!

Immortal Emperor Li Shan opened his mouth and sprayed with a bloody mist. His face immediately became sheet-white and haggard. He seemed extremely feeble.

From the previous battles, he was already injured, having yet to recover completely. Now that he had received an almost-lethal blow from the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike, it only worsened his wounds.

On top of that, the injuries he sustained this time were even worse than the past two rounds combined.

That was because during the battles before, all of the injury-causing attacks had been weakened by his protective energy and god artifact, such that their power in the end was not as great as when they were first launched.

But this time, all of his defences were rendered useless before Jian Chen’s strange attack. It directly appeared inside his body.

The part that left Immortal Emperor Li Shan even more shaken was a sharp sword intent. It lingered in his body, furiously destroying his body from inside out. It even showed signs of making its way towards his soul.

That immediately frightened Immortal Emperor Li Shan out of his wits. He mobilised all of his energy to purge the sword Qi in his body.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was another rumble. As Immortal Emperor Li Shan was busy with suppressing the sword Qi, Jian Chen slashed his chest with his sword.

This attack passed through Immortal Emperor Li Shan’s Divine Force of the Heavenly Shield with ease, landing heavily against his god artifact armour and leaving behind a deep mark. The great force sent him flying away.

However, before he could land on the ground, Jian Chen immediately appeared behind him through the Laws of Space, thrusting out again and striking Immortal Emperor Li Shan’s back with tremendous force. The attack sent him flying off in the opposite direction.

Having been heavily injured by the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike, Immortal Emperor Li Shan seemed to lose all of his strength. He seemed a little powerless before Jian Chen’s attacks now, forced to endure them passively.

Boom!

When Jian Chen launched his third attack, the medium quality god artifact on Immortal Emperor Li Shan shattered, turning into fragments that shot off into the surroundings like scattered leaves. The sharp tip of the sword directly pierced him.

In the next moment, the Chaotic Force in the sword erupted like a flood that had breached a dam. It exploded inside Immortal Emperor Li Shan, such that his heavily damaged body finally gave way, exploding and turning a cloud of blood.

Immortal Emperor Li Shan’s body was destroyed. Now, only his soul remained.

At this moment, Immortal Emperor Li Shan hovered in the air in a rather confused and speechless manner as if he had just suffered a tremendous setback. He floated there in a daze, quite depressed.

“I’ve been defeated. I’ve been defeated?”

“Impossible. This is impossible. How can I, a mighty Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, lose to a mere Sixth Heavenly Layer independent cultivator?”

“How could I be defeated? It should have been impossible for me to lose. This was clearly a round where victory was guaranteed.”

“After those thirty seconds, I should have been the one who emerged victorious with ease. Defeat shouldn’t have been awaiting me.”

Immortal Emperor Li Shan murmured subconsciously in the air. His eyes were hollow, refusing to accept this reality.

“Thank you for going easy on me, Immortal Emperor Li Shan!” Jian Chen clasped his fist towards Immortal Emperor Li Shan’s soul and thanked him sincerely.

In the next moment, the power of the Observance Heaven City descended, forcefully sending Jian Chen and Immortal Emperor Li Shan out.

As the landscape around him changed, Jian Chen appeared outside the ring again. He could clearly see the other battlefields from here.

Some of the battles in the other rings had not even started yet.

Meanwhile, Immortal Emperor Li Shan had been eliminated.

Jian Chen sat in the air and watched the battles of the others with interest. As he understood their methods of battle, he could also further witness their trump cards.

Three days later, someone finally appeared from one of the other rings. With a flash, a person appeared near Jian Chen.

He was a young man dressed in white robes, but his white robes had already been dyed red with blood. He was covered in wounds and had a feeble presence. He seemed to be in an extremely miserable state.

He was Ye Qingyun of the Ye family!

As soon as he appeared, he immediately took out a heavenly resource that shone with hazy light and swallowed it, entering a state of recovery.

But shortly afterwards, Ye Qingyun cracked open his eyes as if he had sensed something, glancing at Jian Chen subconsciously in surprise. It seemed as if he had never expected that someone would emerge before him.

However, when he saw how the person standing there was actually Jian Chen, Ye Qingyun completely blanked out. At that moment, his thoughts seemed to halt and even his breathing seemed to stop.

“Why’s it you? Where’s Immortal Emperor Li Shan?” Ye Qingyun said subconsciously. Actually, he did not want to talk too much, but he really could not hold back his doubts.

“He’s already been defeated. He’s not here anymore,” Jian Chen said with ease. He had witnessed Ye Qingyun’s battle. Ye Qingyun could end the battle in three short days because he used an extremely startling ancient secret technique at the cost of his health, directly obliterating his opponent and reducing them to a soul.

If it were not for the power of the Observance Heaven City that granted protection at a crucial moment, Ye Qingyun’s opponent probably would have been instantly killed.

But at this moment, Ye Qingyun had a few additional strands of white hair near his forehead. His appearance seemed much more elderly as well.

“Immortal Emperor Li Shan has been defeated?” Ye Qingyun blurted out in disbelief before glancing deeply at Jian Chen and saying nothing more.

Just like that, another half a month passed before another Immortal Emperor riddled with wounds appeared.

He was Xia Mingtian from the Immortal Feather sect, but compared to Ye Qingyun, he seemed to be in a much better state. Even though he was riddled with injuries, none of them were lethal.

“Hmm?” As soon as Xia Mingtian appeared from his ring, he let out an interjection of surprise, staring straight at Jian Chen in shock.

Afterwards, competitors ended their battles one after another. More and more Immortal Emperors appeared, but without any exception, all of them were surprised by how Jian Chen was still there.

“Where’s Immortal Emperor Li Shan? Why isn’t he here?” In the end, Daoist Master Shangqing also returned victoriously. His robes were ragged, and his horrifying wounds were still trickling with blood.

However, he ignored his injuries. His elderly eyes were slightly blank, staring at Jian Chen in a complete daze.

In the end, even he struggled to believe what he was seeing. He rubbed his eyes forcefully, thinking that this was all an illusion.

“Immortal Emperor Li Shan has actually been eliminated. This really is… shocking.” Daoist Master Shangqing let out a sigh after a good while.

With the third round over, only twenty-two Immortal Emperors remained.

The fourth round would formally begin seven days later.

Apart from Jian Chen, everyone else seized every moment of the seven days to heal and recover their energy.

Very soon, the seven days had passed, and the remaining twenty-two Immortal Emperors began to draw lots for their next opponent.

This round, Jian Chen’s opponent was Daoist Master Shangqing!

As the landscape around them changed, Jian Chen and Daoist Master Shangqing had already appeared on a bleak battlefield at the same time.
