Chapter 2450: The Heartless Child
Originally, they had prepared this attack from the Myriad Bone Guild for the Elder of Mountains and Seas. Now that he was dead, Jian Chen could only use it to kill the Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime.
Xu Ran became extremely stern as she received Ye Chong’s attack within the Gloomwater sect, but she did not become flustered at all. Even though she was not as powerful as Ye Chong, she was not weak to the point where she could not fight back. With her various secret techniques, she could dodge the attack easily.
However, just when Xu Ran wanted to move, the space before her suddenly was ripped open. A small hand suddenly reached out and pressed forward.
With that, space and laws collapsed. Ye Chong’s devastatingly powerful attack directly dispersed, reduced to nothingness.
That was not all. Even Ye Chong who dealt that attack suddenly showed extreme fear. His eyes were filled with deep dread, and with a loud boom, he exploded into a bloody mist.
The Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime Ye Chong had died!
Xu Ran’s eyes suddenly narrowed when she witnessed this. Shock filled her face as she suddenly looked towards the small hand.
Ye Chong was a mighty Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime; he was only a step away from becoming a peak expert and a Grand Prime.
Even if a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime wanted to kill someone like that, they would need to expend some effort.
However, Ye Chong actually seemed as insignificant as an ant before the thin and short arm. He could not even escape and was easily killed off.
This shocked Xu Ran. She was astounded.
“T- this is definitely not an attack from a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime...” Xu Ran cried out inside. The light in her eyes flickered as she stared at the small arm that had extended out from the spatial crack.
But very soon, she seemed to understand something. She returned to normal and focused on controlling the Nine Tribulations Incineration Formation against the remaining four great elders of the Gloomwater sect.
Outside the Gloomwater sect, Jian Chen had also become absolutely astounded by Ye Chong’s death. He stared straight at the small arm. Currently, he was shocked.
“It’s actually him...” Jian Chen could already guess who the person from the Myriad Bone Guild was from the arm.
He was the young child they had seen in the Prosper Plane branch of the Bone Myriad Guild!
“The battle prowess of this great elder is extraordinary. Although regular First Heavenly Layer Grand Primes can defeat him, if he wants to escape, even they won’t be able to make him stay. Jian Chen, my strike has surpassed the level of a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. You got the better end of the deal this time.” At this moment, the child’s voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head.
The voice still seemed rather childish, just like a young child’s voice.
However, Jian Chen no longer dared to underestimate the boy.
“Thank you, senior!” Jian Chen clasped his fist at the space there before charging into the Gloomwater sect with a flash.
The death of their strongest great elder, Ye Chong, had heavily shaken up the disciples of the Gloomwater sect. Many regular disciples became utterly terrified, losing their morale and scattering in all directions.
The entire Gloomwater sect became even messier with Ye Chong’s death.
“The people exist with the clan; the people die with the clan. Do not flee, disciples of the Gloomwater sect! Stay behind with the clan! All deserters will be treated as traitors of the sect and will be slain without mercy,” a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime elder called out from the Gloomwater sect. He personally took action and killed a few fleeing disciples on the spot.
The Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime clearly had some prestige in the Gloomwater sect. As soon as he said that, all the elders of the sect made up their minds. Resolution flooded their faces, and they struck out decisively, killing off all the deserting disciples.
The firmness and viciousness of the elders immediately frightened all the disciples of the sect. No one dared to run anymore. All the disciples, regardless of strength, remained behind, falling into formation to resist the intruders.
Even more Infinite Prime elders used their full strength to attack the Nine Tribulations Incineration Formation to try and free the four great elders trapped inside.
The four great elders in the Nine Tribulations Incineration Formation had already begun working together. They endured the soul attacks from the formation as they used their full strength to attack the formation.
The Nine Tribulations Incineration Formation specially targeted the soul. It was very difficult to defend against its attacks, so the longer the great elders were trapped in there, the worse it would become for them. As a result, they all did their best to break out.
Xu Ran was busy controlling the formation to keep the four great elders trapped, so there was nothing she could do about the Infinite Prime elders outside.
Immediately, the Nine Tribulations Incineration Formation began to tremble violently from the attacks from both inside and outside.
At this moment, a streak of light shot over. It possessed earth-shaking might and cut the head of a First Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime in half on the spot, killing him off.
Jian Chen flew into the Gloomwater sect. He wielded the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways as sword Qi wrapped around him. His presence was extremely astonishing. With a single strike, countless strands of sword Qi gathered over. Starlight flickered resplendently as he engaged in a battle against the Infinite Primes of the Gloomwater sect aggressively.
Jian Chen did not hold back at all in the fight this time. He had already drawn his Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways, borrowing its power to elevate his battle prowess once again. He had completely reached the level of Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes.
He blocked all the Infinite Primes of the Gloomwater sect alone.
“The Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways! You’re Jian Chen...” A few elders recognised Jian Chen from the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways, and they immediately cried out.
At the same time, many powerful senses of the souls swept over on the Aqua Plane, revolving about in the sky above the Gloomwater sect.
The battle in the Gloomwater sect had caused too great of a disturbance. It had already alarmed all the peak experts on the Aqua Plane.
“Hmm? Isn’t that the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways? Jian Chen has actually come to the Aqua Plane...”
“It’s just a pity that the Anatta Tower has already been returned to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. Jian Chen no longer holds any value...”
...
The peak experts recognised Jian Chen immediately, and they all sighed.
If the Anatta Tower was still on Jian Chen, the peak experts on the Aqua Plane would definitely fight over it. However, since the Anatta Tower had already been returned to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, they naturally lost all interest in him.
Just as Jian Chen clashed with the experts of the Gloomwater sect, the child that Jian Chen saw in the Myriad Bone Guild hovered in outer space silently.
No one on the Aqua Plane discovered his existence.
“Heartless Child, you’ve actually personally killed a Chaotic Prime. Isn’t that degrading your identity?” A calm voice rang out at this moment.
A middle-aged man silently appeared near the child.
The child turned around and stared at the middle-aged man for a while before sniggering, “Nine Brilliance Star Lord, this isn’t your Star Brilliance Plane. Me killing someone on the Aqua Plane doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you.”
“Moreover, I’ve taken action this time because of a deal I had with Jian Chen. I think you’re more than certain as to what our Myriad Bone Guild does.”
The middle-aged man was the supreme figure of the Star Brilliance Plane, the Star Brilliance Star Lord.
However, the child did not show any dread or fear before an expert like the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. He seemed extremely composed.
