Chapter 3534: All Too Sudden

Chapter 3534: All Too Sudden

The three Immortal Emperors shrivelled up at a visible rate. Their life essence was rapidly devoured while their presence rapidly weakened as well.

During this time, they never stopped struggling. Their limbs flailed around in the air as if they were trying to break free from the vines with everything that they had. The howls that they let out were chilling.

At that moment, whether it was the thousands of disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens or the surviving disciples of the four organisations, they all widened their eyes and stared at the three Immortal Emperors in horror.

Not only did the fearful shrieks of the three Immortal Emperors make chills run down their spines, but it also made them feel like they were currently in the depths of hell.

This time, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had clearly slowed down the devouring of the three Immortal Emperors on purpose, such that everyone could see the process of their deaths even more clearly. That without a doubt had a tremendous impact on all of the disciples.

In particular, the people belonging to the three Immortal Emperors, as well as the Immortal Monarchs, could not help but tremble. Great horror silently filled their hearts before turning into an invisible mace that shattered their souls in the end.

In just half a minute, the three Immortal Emperors had vanished. All that remained were their clothes and armour.

Under the watch of thousands of disciples, three supreme experts had perished instantly.

After devouring the three Immortal Emperors, the Immortal Devouring Orchid clearly became even more powerful. It completely squeezed itself out of the great bronze door with the remaining part of its body.

Immediately, a complete Immortal Devouring Orchid appeared before everyone.

It was only three hundred metres wide at the start, but it expanded after emerging, instantly swelling to thirty thousand metres wide. Its thick and plentiful tendrils wrapped around the great bronze door firmly as its colossal and glorious flower shone with resplendent red light. It was several times larger than the entire main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

As the Immortal Devouring Orchid loomed over the sky, the entire sect seemed extremely insignificant.

“Greetings from miscellaneous disciple Nong Fugui, senior!” By now, elder Nong was already on his knees, facing the Immortal Devouring Orchid with tears pouring down his face.

Nong Fugui obviously thought the Immortal Devouring Orchid was the same one that the Star Clustered Ancestor had raised in the past. Despite the two differing in appearance, this was quite easy to explain. All daemon plants in the world could evolve with ease once they had a fortuitous encounter, so their appearance would change to a certain degree.

As a result, this was extremely normal in elder Nong’s eyes.

However, seeing the Immortal Devouring Orchid that the Star Clustered Ancestor had raised again after three million years left elder Nong extremely emotional.

With a single glance, it was quite obvious that the Immortal Devouring Orchid had become much more powerful than three million years ago.

“Greetings from the current sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Chen Shuzhi!”

Chen Shuzhi did not dare to fall behind when he saw elder Nong bow. He followed him and also performed a great bow with the utmost respect.

He had no other choice but to show utmost respect. The Immortal Devouring Orchid had killed four Immortal Emperors with lightning speed as soon as it appeared, which included a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. That obviously shook up Chen Shuzhi.

Afterwards, the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens all copied them, kneeling and bowing towards the Immortal Devouring Orchid. They said loudly with high spirits, “Greetings from the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, senior!”

In the blink of an eye, a great swathe of people in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens were kneeling. All the disciples from the sect knelt on their knees. Only Jian Chen remained on his feet blankly, blinking his eyes at a slight loss.

He really did feel rather awkward right now. If the Immortal Devouring Orchid before his eyes really was the one that the Star Clustered Ancestor had left behind, he would be more than happy to kneel down and bow. After all, it would be his senior.

However, the Immortal Devouring Orchid clearly was not the one from the past.

Just the thought of bowing towards the plant that he had gone to such great lengths to raise was awkward.

But fortunately, everyone’s attention was drawn away by the Immortal Devouring Orchid. No one noticed Jian Chen’s abnormal behaviour.

At this moment, the tendrils of the Immortal Devouring Orchid began to dance, plunging into the ground. Afterwards, the soil beneath the disciples began to churn. Vines emerged from the ground, slowly lifting everyone to their feet.

“Run!”

Suddenly, there was a strange cry in the sky. The remaining disciples from the four organisations scattered, all fleeing hurriedly from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

The tendrils of the Immortal Devouring Orchid began to dance, about to stop all of these invaders from leaving.

“So be it. Let them go. Without Immortal Emperors, these people are no longer the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ opponent. Keeping them around can help the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens vent a little.” Jian Chen secretly communicated with the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

When it heard that, its tendrils immediately dropped down, obeying every single word from Jian Chen.

“You can temporarily impersonate your clansmen that the Star Clustered Ancestor raised for the next period of time. Remember, don’t act too close to me. Maintain some distance. I don’t want to expose myself just yet.”

The Immortal Devouring Orchid immediately shrank to just a few metres tall after hearing what Jian Chen had said. It turned into a regular plant and entered the back mountains of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, taking root on a boulder.

While it had left, the impact that it had caused to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens did not settle down. Elder Nong and the sect master both rushed to the back mountains, rambling away in front of the Immortal Devouring Orchid while showing great respect.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid ignored everything. Its gorgeous flower that resembled a head remained lowered, hanging there without budging like it was asleep. No matter what elder Nong and Chen Shuzhi said, it did nothing.

After spending an entire day and noticing that the Immortal Devouring Orchid still showed no interest in budging, the two of them backed away sensibly. Afterwards, they immediately gathered all the core disciples for a meeting.

At this moment, elder Nong and the sect master sat with mixed expressions in front of a long jade table within the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. Before them were several Space Rings.

These Space Rings had been left behind by the five Immortal Emperors.

The Great Spatial Sword Formation stolen by Lei Yunxing had already returned to elder Nong. At this moment, elder Nong and the sect master stared at the five rings in a daze.

“Everything has happened just too quickly. I didn’t think the Immortal Emperor ancestors of the four organisations would all perish in the blink of an eye. Apart from them, an ancestor of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder also died here. Disciples, what do you think our sect should do next? Let’s hear what you all think.” Elder Nong looked towards all the core disciples seated there.

Everyone looked at one another when they heard that. Even to them, this kind of outcome was a little dream-like. In a single day, the ancestors of the four organisations that had oppressed them for all these years had perished before their eyes.

Even right now, they struggled to adjust to this piece of news whenever they thought about it.

As for the future of the sect, they were all at a loss.

“Elder Nong, the four organisations currently suffer from a severe vacuum in strength. I suggest that we use this opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop and completely recover the territory that they claimed from us,” said Jian Chen.
