“Don’t worry, sect master. I witnessed the power of the Divine Formation of the Heavens last time. Logically speaking, it can indeed threaten Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts. However, if you were to truly face a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, there would be far too many variables at play. You’re aware of the reason as well—it’s very difficult to stop them from escaping,” the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt immediately replied. He appeared before Jian Chen’s soul clone and said confidently, “Sect master, are we going to be facing the Transcension Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment?”
Jian Chen shook his head and gave the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt a simple explanation of what had happened outside.
“A Starflame Demon Lion? If your target is a space beast, then it’ll be much simpler. Most of these species possess limited intelligence and colossal bodies. Despite their impressive battle prowess, they’re not as flexible and agile as powerful cultivators. The only thing you have to be worried about is their vitality. They’re very difficult to kill,” the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt said in thought.
“Master, with the Divine Formation of the Heavens’ current power, it can only injure the Starflame Demon Lion. It can’t slay it. Even heavily injuring it will be rather difficult,” said the Primeval artifact spirit. His opinion contrasted tremendously against the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s answer.
It continued, “Perhaps if you wait a few more years and assemble fifty thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals for the Divine Formation of the Heavens, you’ll be able to heavily injure or even kill this Starflame Demon Lion.”
“That’s because the Starflame Demon Lion already rivals Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts in strength. Its body is tough, and its vitality is tenacious. Killing a space beast like that often requires the strength of the Seventh Heavenly Layer.”
The Primeval artifact spirit’s words left the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt slightly surprised. He immediately stopped talking.
“Is it that troublesome?” With a great frown, Jian Chen quickly left the Primeval Divine Hall.
At this moment, he used the Laws of Space to travel through outer space at full speed. He moved so quickly that he was no slower than Immortal Exalts.
Extremely far ahead of him was a tiny speck that shone with starlight, moving through the sea of stars with similarly great speed.
That was the Starflame Demon Lion.
Jian Chen had already pushed his speed to his limits, but he could only barely keep up with the Starflame Demon Lion.
And the Starflame Demon Lion had not even used its full speed yet. Instead, it wandered around like it was on a leisurely stroll. Otherwise, with Jian Chen’s current level with the Laws of Space, he could never keep up with the Starflame Demon Lion.
The Starflame Demon Lion was not smart, but it instinctively sensed danger, so it basically intentionally avoided the thirty-three heavens along the way. It seemed to be fearful of these colossal pieces of land that floated through outer space. Whenever it encountered a heaven, it would maintain a safe distance. Even late Immortal Exalts would not be able to sense it.
From beginning to end, Jian Chen did not expose his tracks. He was like a ghost, hidden deep within the darkness as he tailed the Starflame Demon Lion quietly.
This pursuit lasted for several months. During this time, the Starflame Demon Lion never stopped moving, advancing aimlessly through outer space. It crossed galaxies after galaxies, seemingly on the prowl for Immortal Exalts in outer space.
On this day, the Starflame Demon Lion who had spent several months travelling suddenly entered a huge asteroid field before falling completely silent.
Using the disguise from the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race, Jian Chen entered the asteroid field carefully. He discovered the Starflame Demon Lion lying on a dead planet several times larger than it. Its eyes were closed as if it was asleep.
“Is it digesting its food? Oh no, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu probably can’t last much longer.” When he saw this, Jian Chen’s heart immediately sank. The Starflame Demon Lion before him possessed the strength of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Due to its special characteristics as a space beast, its vitality was extremely tenacious. Injuring it without the strength of the Seventh Heavenly Layer would be difficult.
Under these circumstances, his chances of saving Immortal Exalt Tan Yu with his own strength were extremely minimal.
“The white jade oil lamp I obtained from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants can heavily injure Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts, but I still haven’t found the way to use this treasure yet. Apart from that, only the twin swords can threaten the Starflame Demon Lion.”
“However, the cost of fusing the swords far outweighs the benefits. I can’t use this move unless I run out of options.” Jian Chen dismissed the idea very quickly. Shortly afterwards, he took out a star chart to confirm his location.
The star chart clearly marked out the location of the thirty-three heavens. Although it could not measure their distance accurately, at least it could prevent people from becoming lost in outer space.
Very soon, Jian Chen found his current location. To his surprise, the Starflame Demon Lion he followed had travelled in a great circle in outer space. In the end, they had actually returned to somewhere near the Hall Brilliance Heaven.
“The Hall Brilliance Heaven has a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.” Very soon, Jian Chen’s eyes lit up as he thought of the Warring Old Freak.
“With senior Warring’s strength, he might not be able to defeat the Starflame Demon Lion, but it might be possible if I’m assisting him on the side with the Divine Formation of the Heavens.” Jian Chen’s eyes became brighter and brighter. With his speed, reaching the Hall Brilliance Heaven would only take half a day. A journey there and back would not take too much time, so he did not have to worry about the Starflame Demon Lion leaving during this time.
Thinking up to there, he immediately stopped hesitating. He left the asteroid field with determination and pushed his Laws of Space to the limits. With each step, the surroundings would change. He crossed galaxies with each step.
In just half a day, the Hall Brilliance Heaven appeared in Jian Chen’s view as the size of a rice grain.
Looking at the slightly familiar land before him, Jian Chen was filled with mixed feelings.
Originally, he thought it would be a very long time before he would return to the Hall Brilliance Heaven when he left.
He never thought that the heavens would play him for a fool. He actually returned here so quickly.
Spatial ripples appeared beneath Jian Chen’s feet. Each step he took was like teleportation. In under a minute, he had already crossed the tremendous distance and arrived on the Hall Brilliance Heaven.
The War sect was located in the centre of the Hall Brilliance Heaven. They occupied the spiritual mountain that was most abundant in spiritual Qi.
On this day, Jian Chen silently appeared outside the War sect. Looking at the spiritual mountain shrouded in mist, he said loudly, “Junior Yang Yutian has come to visit. I hope to meet with senior Warring!”
Jian Chen’s voice boomed thunderously, rumbling through several hundred thousand kilometres and reaching the entire War sect.
Three figures hovered in the air with their legs crossed in the forbidden grounds of the War sect. They all radiated with the presence of Immortal Exalts.
They were the three ancestors of the War sect. Apart from the strongest, the Warring Old Freak, the other two were a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt and a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.
The three ancestors gathered together to discuss matters related to the Transcension Ancestor. Apart from the Warring Old Freak, the other two ancestors were filled with concern.
It was as if the two of them could not find peace as long as the Transcension Ancestor was still wandering the world.
That was because under the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance’s intervention, they had already learnt that the Transcenion Ancestor’s primary objective for forging the Fiend Soul Banners was to destroy their War sect.
At this moment, basically everyone in the War sect felt like a sword was hanging over them at all times. Who knew when it would fall.
At this moment, Jian Chen’s voice echoed through the surroundings, drifting over clearly.
