Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3965: The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance
Previously on Chaotic Sword God...
Once the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor had departed, the Illusionary Ancestor pivoted and fixed her gaze toward the path Jian Chen had taken. At this point, Jian Chen was completely out of sight. Due to this brief pause, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor's strength had whisked him away into the vast expanse of the starry sea.
“It started with the clash between the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor and the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, followed by the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor's chase across the cosmos. Who would've thought you'd show up too, Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance. The chaos this young man has unleashed is truly on an extraordinary scale.” The Illusionary Ancestor gazed toward where Jian Chen had disappeared, as if whispering to the void.
Right after her words faded, the nearby space erupted in brilliance. The Laws of the Sword gathered in the void, ultimately forming a dazzling silhouette.
This was the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords, among the twelve courts of heaven!
Yet, it wasn't the true form of the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance. Rather, it was a mere projection woven from the Laws of the Sword, radiating intense glow like a divine being.
“Seems like you know this individual well?” the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance remarked. The ethereal gaze concealed in the radiant light appeared to glance indifferently at the Illusionary Ancestor.
“I crossed paths with him by chance. This young fellow just strikes me as quite likable,” the Illusionary Ancestor replied. Then, she turned to the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance, her tone carrying subtle reverence. “Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance, are you here for this young man as well?”
“My purpose was the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor. The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor sent me an urgent call to intercept him. I rushed over without a moment to grasp the full picture,” the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance explained. Moments later, his gaze shimmered as he delved into the events. He sought to uncover the truth behind it all.
At their level of cultivation, gaining insight into countless events required no inquiries from others. A mere glimpse sufficed to reveal past and future, unveiling numerous hidden truths of the realm.
But shortly after, a trace of astonishment flickered in the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance’s eyes, for he found himself blocked from probing any specifics about Jian Chen.“So, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor summoned you. I figured the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance might have arrived specifically for this young man,” the Illusionary Ancestor said with a smile, inwardly breathing a sigh of relief.
“Now that Universe Breaching has departed, I should take my leave too. Goodbye!” The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance offered no further words. He spun away and vanished into the starry depths in an instant.
The Illusionary Ancestor stayed rooted in place. She watched the direction of the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance's exit with complicated feelings. After a brief pause in quiet reflection, she exhaled softly. “Time marches on, and so do changes in people. In these courts of heaven, how many still hold to their original selves? Young man, my aid for you is limited at best…”
A ferocious surge of energy stormed like a tidal wave beyond the Skyscraping World, ripping through the area so fiercely that repairs lagged behind the destruction.
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor and the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor continued their fierce confrontation.
In that instant, a luminous form sped in from the distance. It sliced straight through the energy tempest from their duel and plunged into the storm's core.
This was the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor of the Tower of Myriad Worlds!
At this juncture, laws swirled around the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor, shielding him from every bit of incoming energy. He regarded the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor and let out a soft sigh. “I couldn't retrieve that person. Soaring Immortal, I'll settle the debt I owe you some other time.”
Upon hearing this, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor's spirits dropped. His expression turned grim.
The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor couldn't hold back a hearty laugh. His earlier tension finally eased.
With the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor's arrival, the showdown between the two heavenly emperors ground to a stop. They had merely been tying each other down. Now, there was no point in continuing the fight.
“Did the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords block your path?” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor eyed the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor with gravity.
“The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance was there, yes. After all these years, his power has grown even greater.” The Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor sighed with feeling. An image of the Illusionary Ancestor flashed in his mind, though he chose to keep her involvement silent in the end.
As long as he stayed quiet about her, not even heavenly emperors could glimpse beings like the Illusionary Ancestor.
With those words, the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor faded away, already gone. The events here held no appeal for him.
Suddenly, majestic Laws of the Sword descended. The very next instant, a form born from those laws materialized from thin air. It was the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance.
Detecting the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance's aura, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor's eyes tightened a bit. He could plainly feel that the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance's aura had noticeably intensified from earlier.
“
” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor felt a hidden jolt of alarm.“Thank you, Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance!” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor grinned triumphantly. He started chatting amiably with the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance.
“I was curious about your grudge with the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor. It turns out it's over a mere junior. Chaotic Star, you've gone to remarkable lengths to shield that junior.” The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance regarded the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor.
“Hahahaha, no cost is too high—it's all worthwhile!” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor brushed it off. He was in high spirits, a stark difference from the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor's dour look.
“The junior goes by Yang Yutian. He slew four great elders from our Immortal Feather sect. Fellow Sword Radiance, our Immortal Feather sect shares a deep blood vendetta with this kid. I sincerely ask that you stay out of it. This could spiral into something irreversible,” the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor warned gravely.
The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance creased his brow faintly. Slain four great elders of the Immortal Feather sect? That was no small incident. Any top-tier group would rage over losing four great elders.
“Fellow Sword Radiance, I'm asking you to turn him over to our Immortal Feather sect,” the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor pressed on.
“He's not in my custody,” the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance stated evenly.
“He's not with you?” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor balked at the idea. To him, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor's extreme efforts to safeguard Jian Chen must stem from coveting the healing sovereign god artifact too. Why let him slip away?
Still, considering the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance's status and character, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor couldn't bring himself to question it.
After all, the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance would never descend to deceit.
“Hahahaha, that little brother's cultivation level isn't impressive, but his talent for concealment is top-notch. Soaring Immortal, good luck trying to track him down now.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor laughed.
“Chaotic Star, who exactly is he?” the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance inquired. His eyes gleamed. He detected a subtle anomaly in the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor's demeanor.
As a heavenly emperor, why invest such concern in a mere Immortal Emperor junior?
“Fellow Sword Radiance, come visit the Heavenly Star Palace,” the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor invited.
The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance gave a nod. He didn't turn down the offer.
“Lan Caidie, I've heard from Caijian all about the Skyscraping World events. You've performed admirably. You haven't let me down.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor looked afar and commended Lan Caidie.
“Serving the heavenly emperor is not just my privilege but the supreme responsibility of our entire Ghost Immortal cult.” Lan Caidie beamed with delight. Her gaze brimmed with reverence.
Following that, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor headed back to the Heavenly Star Palace alongside Xing Caijian and the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance. The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor withdrew to the Immortal Feather sect as well, dispatching the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt and the Wayless Immortal Exalt to comb the Immortals’ World for Jian Chen. Meanwhile, they upped the bounty on Jian Chen. The generous prize even lured numerous Immortal Exalt ancestors across the Immortals’ World.
