Chapter 2384: Bloodtear Departs
“I never thought I would actually raise the attention of a Grand Exalt...” Jian Chen felt utterly powerless as he faced a Grand Exalt.
The old master of the twin swords was a terrifying existence who had reached Grand Exalt. Jian Chen deeply understood just how impossibly powerful such experts were.
He definitely stood no chance of escaping before someone like that. All of his means, including the Anatta Tower, were like a child’s game before a Grand Exalt.
As a matter of fact, even if he fused the twin swords regardless of the price and unleashed the might of chaos, he would not be able to even scratch a Grand Exalt.
After all, he did not possessed the supreme cultivation of the old master of the twin swords, and the swords were not in perfect condition either. The power from the fusion would be affected.
Moreover, even if he did want to fuse the swords right now, he completely lacked the power to do so.
This was because his body, his blood, all of his comprehension, and powers had been firmly restrained. The only thing that kept moving was his mind.
However, Jian Chen failed to realise that at this moment, Kai Ya’s eyes had suddenly become pitch-black.
The darkness seemed boundless like the starless sky. It was extremely deep.
It seemed like a space of endless darkness hid within Kai Ya’s eyes.
A gaze flickered from the depths of the dark space.
The gaze was extremely cold and emotionless, viewing all lives as ants. It gazed over from afar, looking through the endless darkness.
The blurry figure condensed from the sea of blood suddenly pulsed from before Jian Chen. A gaze seemed to appear silently in the figure as well, bearing the same coldness and emotionlessness. It looked down on all people like they were nothing.
The gaze that no one was able to sense within the blood-red figure directly stared at Kai Ya.
In the depths of Kai Ya’s eyes, the gaze looked over from far away. It was extremely cold, making eye contact with the Bloodtear Grand Exalt.
The Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s gaze suddenly narrowed when he saw the gaze in the depths of Kai Ya’s eyes. He glanced at her deeply and said nothing. He just turned around and left.
At that moment, the blood-red figure condensed before Jian Chen vanished completely. The boundless sea of blood that enveloped the entire Desolate Plane disappeared at the same time.
The Bloodtear Grand Exalt had already departed!
Immediately, the world cleared up, origin energy began to flow, and the laws of the world started to operate once again. The Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s influence over the Desolate Plane completely vanished, returning to its usual order.
Jian Chen was clearly stunned when he saw the blood-red figure vanish from before him. He became rather confused.
He was certain that the sword spirits on him were exposed to the Grand Exalt. In the past, the twin swords had caused much death and injury to the Saints’ World. He had inherited the twin swords, and he practised the Profound Sword Qi created by the old master of the twin swords, so he had basically become the next successor already. It should have been impossible for a Grand Exalt to spare him.
Despite that, the Grand Exalt just suddenly left.
Jian Chen felt that this was very strange, but he could not understand why no matter how he thought about it.
However, it clearly was not the time to consider the reason right now. Regardless of why the Bloodtear Grand Exalt had suddenly departed, escaping this place was his top priority at the moment.
“Let’s go!” Jian Chen immediately pulled Kai Ya and fled with lightning speed.
All the Primordial realm experts elsewhere continued to tremble. Their faces were unnaturally pale as they stood there blankly. They were lost. They had no idea what to do.
Although the Bloodtear Grand Exalt had left, his advent allowed all the peak experts to understand that this mysterious cavern was definitely related to him.
Even the many fragments of the Ancient Great Ape might have belonged to the Bloodtear Grand Exalt.
They had actually taken a Grand Exalt’s belongings; this filled them all with fright and unease.
Even Tu San of the Heaven-splitting clan felt unsettled.
They did not even know whether they should return the remains of Gusta that lay quietly in their Space Rings.
No one dared to take a Grand Exalt’s belongings.
For a moment, everyone was filled with unease. No one was in the mood to bother about Jian Chen.
Elsewhere, Kai Ya and Jian Chen continued to fly. At this moment, Kai Ya suddenly looked at Jian Chen and asked, “Jian Chen, how should we leave the Desolate Plane?”
Jian Chen frowned when he heard this question. After a while of thought, he said, “All the teleportation formations that can take us to other planes on the Desolate Plane have been sealed up, so it’s impossible to escape from those. We can’t go to outer space either, since we’ll only stand out in outer space. After all, the senses of the peak experts’ souls have terrifying ranges.”
“As a result, I think the best choice right now is to use an old trick, which is fleeing into a spatial crack and moving through there by relying on the toughness of the Anatta Tower.”
“Even peak experts become restrained in spatial cracks. It’s impossible for them to possess the Azure Peng King’s speed, so it’ll be very difficult for them to catch up to us.”
Jian Chen quickly made up his mind. He did not want to rely on the God clan or the Martial Soul lineage, so fleeing into a spatial crack was the best idea he could come up with right now.
Afterwards, Jian Chen and Kai Ya travelled a little further. Then Jian Chen drew the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways to cut open space.
“Go to the Violet Wind Empire in the southern region. The teleportation formation in their imperial capital can take you away.”
At this moment, an obscure voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head.
Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed when he heard the voice. He was familiar with it. It was a message from the Celestial Sword Saint.
“Let’s go to the southern region!”
Jian Chen changed his plans and stowed the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways away before immediately hurrying off to the southern region with Kai Ya.
His current location was the central region of the Desolate Plane. Although the central and southern regions were separated by a tremendous distance, there were many regional teleportation formations scattered across the central region.
These teleportation formations could only take people between the five major regions of the Desolate Plane and could not take them off the plane. As a result, they had not been sealed up.
Jian Chen and Kai Ya arrived in a bustling city nearby. They used the teleportation formation there and left the central region.
When they reappeared, they had arrived in the southern region, in the imperial capital of the Violet Wind Empire.
Jian Chen immediately looked towards the nearby teleportation formation across planes. However, it had been enveloped by a formation, preventing anyone from using it.
Many soldiers stood guard around the teleportation formation. The person who stood out the most was a messy, disheveled old man in old clothes. He lay on a cane chair lazily.
Jian Chen could tell with a single glance that the old man was an Infinite Prime.
Hmm?
Right when Jian Chen and Kai Ya appeared from the teleportation formation, the unkempt old man on the cane chair opened his eyes. He produced a soft interjection of surprise and sat up slowly. He stared at Jian Chen with his old eyes and wondered in his heart, “Why has this brat come to my place?”
