Chapter 3673: The Heavenly Talisman Venerable

Xiang Zhiru suddenly stiffened. When the vine pierced her body, she seemed to be placed under some sort of restraint. She was completely immobilised.

“I-I-Immortal Exalt…” Xiang Zhiru stared straight ahead. Her voice was hoarse and feeble.

At this moment, her presence slumped and plummeted. The flames of her life rapidly dimmed as the vitality in her body drained away at a terrifying rate.

The vine devoured her vitality at an extremely terrifying speed.

Behind Xiang Zhiru, the four Immortal Emperors were dumbfounded. They were greatly shocked, clearly having been quite startled by what had suddenly occurred.

Only now did a figure appear from the space before Xiang Zhiru.

He was an old man of ordinary appearance. He wore black robes, and his presence was completely concealed, without any leaking out. He seemed like a regular old man.

A tiny flower wrapped around the old man’s wrist. At this moment, one of the tiny flower’s tendrils had already turned into a vine that was as thick as a wrist, piercing Xiang Zhiru like a sharp sword.

When they saw how Xiang Zhiru had actually been heavily injured by a tiny flower, the Immortal Emperors from the Jun family were shocked.

“W-who are you? H-how dare you oppose our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants… Even if you are an Immortal Exalt… only death awaits you…” Xiang Zhiru glared at the old man and said feebly as she ground her teeth.

She was indeed extremely feeble. In that short moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had devoured over seventy percent of her vitality.

And that was with the Immortal Devouring Orchid purposely holding back.

After reaching Immortal Exalt, the Immortal Devouring Orchid could devour much faster than before. Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors were only a snack to it now.

“Still so stubborn even at the brink of death,” Jian Chen said coldly. He drifted over to Xiang Zhiru slowly and stopped a metre away from her before forming a sword with his hand. A beam of light immediately shot out.

In the next moment, Jian Chen thrust the streak of light towards Xiang Zhiru. The sharp edge cut through everything like a knife through butter, plunging into her forehead without any obstruction and killing her on the spot.

With Xiang Zhiru’s strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, it would take Jian Chen quite the effort to kill her if he did not use any trump cards.

However, with the Immortal Devouring Orchid that had reached Immortal Exalt assisting him, everything was much easier.

One of the two Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had perished in this underground cavern without any sound.

After Xiang Zhiru died, the Immortal Devouring Orchid swallowed her corpse in a single gulp, but her Space Ring ended up in Jian Chen’s hand.

Jian Chen did not check through Xiang Zhiru’s Space Ring. He looked at Immortal Emperor He Yu and the three Immortal Emperors from the Jun family nearby before looking at the seven-coloured talisman in front of Immortal Emperor He Yu. A rare hint of fear appeared in his voice before he said hoarsely, “Since you had no plans on using that talisman of yours in the beginning, you better stow it away.”

When he heard that, Immortal Emperor He Yu smiled awkwardly and immediately stowed the Seven-coloured Heaven-bursting talisman away. It was true that he had no plans to use the talisman this easily. He only wanted to use the talisman to frighten Xiang Zhiru.

“Greetings, senior. Thank you for saving us, senior.” Immortal Emperor He Yu clasped his fist towards Jian Chen. After a pause, he asked, “How may I refer to you, senior?”

The three Immortal Emperors from the Jun family clasped their fists and expressed their gratitude from behind He Yu. However, there was also some uneasiness under their respect.

“Don’t try to investigate my origins. You only need to know that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is my enemy,” Jian Chen said indifferently. He looked at Jun Yiming and said, “Leave behind Xiang Hong’s tablet.”

Without any hesitation, Jun Yiming immediately handed the key to the prisons over to Jian Chen.

Jian Chen accepted the tablet. He looked at He Yu and said, “The teleportation secret technique you just used can bypass the restrictions of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ protective formation and transport you outside?”

“That’s correct, senior. This secret technique of mine can indeed achieve that, but it’s only short-range teleportation. We will appear near the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. If you are in need, I’m willing to take you with us, senior. Otherwise, you’ll have to collect the main tablets from the five branches of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants before using a corresponding secret technique to open the formation,” said He Yu.

“I will spend a few more days in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, so I’m afraid that I can’t leave with you. Jian Chen glanced at the surface as if he could see through all the obstructions. He saw many experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants hovering in the air. He murmured, “Now that the Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants aren’t around, it’s a perfect opportunity to annihilate them.”

“Senior, you want to annihilate the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?” When Immortal Emperor He Yu heard that, he was immediately reinvigorated.

The three Immortal Emperors from the Jun family felt dizzy. They were quite frightened by what they had just heard.

After all, killing a few experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants and annihilating the entire Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was intrinsically different.

“It seems like you also want to destroy the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants very much?” Jian Chen looked at Immortal Emperor He Yu.

Immortal Emperor He Yu’s eyes shone with hatred. He clenched his hands and ground his teeth. “Two million years ago, the clan I came from was destroyed by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. All of my family, including my own parents and siblings, died to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. If my master hadn’t saved me, I probably would have perished back then too.”

“I have a tremendous grievance with the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Over these two million years, I’ve constantly wanted to destroy the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants with my own two hands. However, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is just too powerful, and they have the Sacred Beast clan behind them. Even my master is extremely fearful of them, so I could only hide this hatred of mine deeply inside my heart.”

“Even if I were to go after the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, I’d only be bold enough to kick up a small fuss. I would never go too far.”

Immortal Emperor He Yu’s voice was filled with a sense of helplessness. After saying that, he looked at Jian Chen again hopefully and said, “Senior, are you really going to destroy the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?”

“Obviously. Since you also possess a great grievance with the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, are you bold enough to deal a proper blow to them this time?” Jian Chen smiled faintly. He had noticed a long time ago that He Yu’s origins were anything but simple. His methods were extraordinary, and he had a powerful master behind him. If he could drag him into his cause, he would be quite the assistance.

Immortal Emperor He Yu opened his mouth. The various debts of blood from the past filled his mind. He almost agreed, but in the end, he seemed to think of something. A hint of pain appeared in his eyes, and he shook his head. “I can’t. I still can’t do that right now. Small skirmishes are fine, but destroying the sect will affect my master.”

“If it weren’t for my master, I wouldn’t be here right now. I would never cause trouble for my master for the sake of my own grievances.”

Reaching there, Immortal Emperor He Yu seemed to make some kind of decision. “Senior, I might not be able to directly participate in the destruction of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, but I can provide you with assistance and tell you everything that I know about the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”

“I only hope that you could permit me to remain on one side and personally witness the annihilation of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”

“Please believe me, senior. Without my support, it will be extremely difficult to destroy the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants even with your strength as an Immortal Exalt if you haven’t reached mid Immortal Exalt. It might even be impossible.”

“The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ strength is nowhere near as simple as it seems on the surface. Even though their ancestors aren’t present, they still possess trump cards to suppress mid Immortal Exalts and kill early Immortal Exalts.”

“And the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has more than just one of these trump cards.”

Jian Chen’s eyes shone when he heard that. He looked at Immortal Emperor He Yu in interest and said, “Your master told you all about the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ trump cards?”

“I did indeed learn about them from my master. In order to put out my hatred for the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants and for me to gain a better understanding of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ strength, my master told me many secrets regarding the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Otherwise, with my strength as a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, how was I supposed to obtain such secretive information?”

Jian Chen fell silent for a moment before asking, “And who’s your master?”

A smear of surprise appeared in Immortal Emperor He Yu’s eyes. “In the present Immortals’ World, there is only my master who can bestow others with Seven-coloured Heaven-bursting talismans.”

“People refer to my master as the Heavenly Talisman Venerable!”
