Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3960: The Heavenly Emperor Arrives

As the Feather Plume Fan swept through the air, brilliant rays instantly intertwined overhead, generating a devastating vortex that barreled toward the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.

With every advance of the vortex, its raging energy ripped through the fabric of space like fragile parchment. The surrounding laws trembled, sending ripples through the region.

“Oh no! Retreat! Retreat quickly!”

The Immortal Exalts nearby pulled back repeatedly alongside their disciples and followers. Panic twisted their expressions as they evacuated the zone entirely.

Zuo Dao and the Heavenloss Master, positioned nearest to Jian Chen, bolted far away without delay, terrified of getting caught in the impending collision.

The devastating vortex from the Feather Plume Fan slammed into the barrier conjured by the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star. When the two forces smashed together, space cracked open without a sound. A black void spanning ten meters emerged, unleashing powerful suction that devoured every bit of the ruinous energy from the sovereign god artifacts' confrontation.

The initial confrontation between the pair of sovereign god artifacts concluded without fanfare. It failed to unleash the massive destruction everyone had feared on the environment.

Naturally, this stemmed from their deliberate restraint on the output. Without that, the tempests of annihilation from an all-out exchange—fueled by heavenly emperors' energies in two sovereign god artifacts—could readily cripple early Immortal Exalts with their overwhelming force.

The barrier shielding Jian Chen from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star quivered fiercely. The sword intent within faded swiftly. It drained away under the assault of the Feather Plume Fan's destructive vortex.

Right away, the barrier from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star trembled with greater intensity. Small fissures had already torn across its surface.

Yet moments later, fresh energy surged from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, steadying the wavering sword intent.

“With just the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, your Heavenly Star Palace won’t be able to protect this person!” The Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt glared coldly at the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.

His words barely finished when the Feather Plume Fan broke free from his hold, morphing into a sphere of searing brilliance that hurtled at the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star. In its path, space warped wildly while time fell into disarray. It imposed sheer dominance to disrupt the balance of this realm and era.

The very next instant, both the Feather Plume Fan and the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star disappeared together. The fan had wrenched the sword into a rift in space. There, it released its full sovereign god artifact aura unrestrained, diving into a fierce showdown.

In that instant, onlookers witnessed two orbs of intense light repeatedly smashing against each other deep inside the spatial rift, unleashing catastrophic power.

Though the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star stood as a flawless sovereign god artifact, the Immortal Feather sect's Feather Plume Fan matched it evenly. With both infused by heavenly emperors' energies, their disparity remained slim. The fight promised no quick resolution.

Still, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star ranked as Xing Caijian's ultimate tool in her collection. Now entangled with the Feather Plume Fan, she lacked any decisive means to counter the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt.

“Little girl, let’s see how you protect this person now,” the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt declared, as though triumph lay assured. An unseen force radiated from him, saturating the area and forging it into his personal domain.

Every event inside this domain fell under the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt’s complete control.

He had enacted this measure specifically to block Jian Chen from slipping away.

“Senior, do you really think our Heavenly Star Palace is powerless once you keep the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star occupied? Today, your Immortal Feather sect definitely won’t be able to take Yang Yutian away.” Xing Caijian’s expression turned icy. She called into the void, “Dad, if you still don’t come out, your daughter is going to be bullied by the Immortal Feather sect.”

At her words, the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt’s features twisted in alarm. He wasted no time, acting with ruthless speed. Drawing on his vast cultivation, he formed an enormous energy hand that lunged for Jian Chen, intent on seizing him before the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor could intervene.

“How dare you! I’d like to see who has the courage to bully my daughter!” A thunderous voice echoed across the realm. In a barren stretch of space, a stellar ocean materialized, twinkling with myriad lights. Each star blazed fiercely, harboring boundless might.

Soon, one star fired a piercing ray of light. It tore through the emptiness, shattering the energy hand before crashing into the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt’s chest with unrelenting force.

Boom! With a muffled groan, the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt reeled back. His internals churned violently, flushing his complexion red.

Meanwhile, the stellar ocean coalesced into a radiant form. Stellar energies swirled about him, making him seem like a living constellation.

That was the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor!

The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s arrival stirred the atmosphere wildly. Numerous Immortal Exalts felt their blood race with thrill and fervor.

Even in the vast Immortals’ World, heavenly emperors towered as near-mythic beings, surpassed only by Grand Exalts. For countless Immortal Exalts, such figures belonged to tales alone. They might pass lifetimes without glimpsing one face-to-face.

Thus, laying eyes on a heavenly emperor's splendor became a tale worth sharing for many novice Immortal Exalts.

“Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, I never thought you’d actually come in person.” The Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt fixed his gaze on the star-forged figure. Profound caution lurked in his eyes' depths.

“How bold of your Immortal Feather sect, to think that you’d even have the courage to bully my daughter. Hmph, if my daughter is even missing a hair, I’ll bring a whole gang of people from the Heavenly Star Palace to your Immortal Feather sect. We’ll flip your ancestral grounds upside down,” the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor bellowed in rage. His tone rang unyielding and direct, exposing his indulgence toward his daughter had escalated beyond all logic.

“Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, your Heavenly Star Palace is being far too forceful.” A subtle voice emerged. It flowed soft and serene, as if soothing the hearts of all cultivators nearby. Whoever heard it, no matter their realm, found inner peace washing over them. All turmoil and dark feelings seemed soothed away.

This was the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s voice. It transmitted via the spatial passage the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt had opened with a hidden method.

With the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor now present, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor could no longer lurk in the shadows.

“Soaring Immortal, you want to bully my daughter too?” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor harrumphed icily. The starlight encircling him flared intensely. A solid beam of light burst from his eyes, slicing through the spatial passage with inexorable power. It invaded the Immortal Feather sect's domain like divine judgment.

A colossal eye snapped open amid the gloom beyond the Immortal Feather sect's edifices, locking onto the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s piercing stare. As their intangible forces clashed, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s beam slowly unraveled.

In that instant, countless cultivators within the Immortal Feather sect's buildings gazed skyward with ashen faces. The clash of those stares pressed down on them oppressively, as if strangling the very breath from their lungs.

Several high-ranking members of the Immortal Feather sect grew restless within. They couldn't fathom what event had ignited such fury in the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor.

“Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, are you provoking my Immortal Feather sect?” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s majestic voice resounded once more, brimming with commanding presence.

“Hahahaha, a mighty Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt has actually come here in person to bully my daughter. My daughter isn’t even an Immortal Exalt yet. Your Immortal Feather sect has gone so far, yet you still have the face to say I’m provoking you? Yeah, I am provoking you. So what?” the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor roared in anger. Father to a child born late in life, his daughter had arrived through great trials, so he cherished her beyond measure. How could he tolerate her enduring the least harm?

Far off, the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster inwardly exhaled. He had misjudged Xing Caijian's place in the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s affections. He had also lowballed how far the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor would push for her sake. Should Xing Caijian suffer even a single strand of hair's loss, he was certain the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor would unleash full-scale conflict on the Immortal Feather sect.

As for any true rift between the Heavenly Star Palace and the Immortal Feather sect, that detail faded into irrelevance now.
