Chapter 2357: A Dangerous Situation

Hun Zang’s heart immediately sank when he received the hall elder’s message. He became even more determined to stop the Heaven-splitting clan from taking Jian Chen away.

“Hun Zang has already used the Martial Soul Array. He possesses the powers of the Martial Soul Mountain and six other people. Coupled with the strangeness of Martial Soul Force, it’ll be difficult for us to take him on alone. Quick, let’s work together to keep Hun Zang busy. We can’t let Jian Chen approached the Martial Soul Mountain before he hands over the Anatta Tower…”

“Since Jian Chen is unwilling to hand over the Anatta Tower, let’s take it ourselves. Everyone, if you want the Anatta Tower, we need to cooperate. Let’s get the Anatta Tower first. We can talk about how we split it some other day…”

At the same time, the peak experts gathered there spoke out. They understood just how deep the heritage of the Martial Soul lineage ran. Even though they could never become Grand Primes, no peak organisation on the Saints’ World dared to underestimate the Martial Soul lineage.

This was all because of the Martial Soul Mountain’s existence.

They knew extremely well that once Jian Chen returned to the Martial Soul Mountain, there would truly be nothing that they could do.

“This is the territory of my Daohuang Empire, so leave the Anatta Tower to me. You only need to keep Hun Zang busy. We can discuss who the Anatta Tower belongs to after we get it,” the ancestral emperor of the Daohuang Empire spoke out at this moment. He gave off the bearing of a ruler and was serious both in speech and manner. He seemed like he could not be defied.

He directly took action. His hand shattered space, arriving before Jian Chen in a single instance as if distance was an arbitrary concept.

“Jian Chen, I don’t want to harm you. I will only take your Anatta Tower. Do not make an ignorant decision,” the ancestral emperor said. The Martial Soul lineage and the God clan stood behind Jian Chen, so he was clearly slightly worried about Jian Chen’s identity.

However, this worry was evidently not enough to stop him from trying to take the Anatta Tower.

“Don’t you dare!” Hun Zang called out. Using the fusion of powers, he struck out decisively, stopping the ancestral emperor of the Daohuang Empire. At the same time, his eyes immediately turned pitch-black, like a black hole that swallowed all light.

Powerful Martial Soul Force shot out like invisible swords once again, targeting the peak experts in the surroundings.

“Be careful!” one of the peak experts called out, but it was still useless. Even though they could sense Hun Zang’s attack, there was nothing they could do to defend against it.

The invisible swords of Martial Soul Force possessed a wondrous power that could shake up the soul. It pierced through their defences and struck their souls.

Immediately, all of them tremoured, and their eyes became momentarily lost. At the same time, they paused.

Even the ancestral emperor of the Daohuang Empire was not an exception.

However, Hun Zang did not target these people any longer. Taking Jian Chen with him was the priority. He grabbed Jian Chen’s shoulder and was about to leave.

Boom!

At this moment, a deafening boom exploded in the sky. A colossal, azure peng appeared beyond the Desolate Plane. Its wings were unfurled, blotting out the sun. It struck the projection of the Martial Soul Mountain heavily.

The projection immediately shook violently. It constantly twisted and distorted in shape as it rapidly dimmed.

It was the Azure Peng King. He had taken action as well to stop the people of the Martial Soul lineage from taking Jian Chen away.

Due to the Celestial Sword Saint’s existence, he did not dare to set foot on the Desolate Plane. However, the projection of the Martial Soul Mountain was unable to descend onto the Desolate Plane either. It could only appear in outer space.

As a result, the Martial Soul Mountain became the perfect target for the Azure Peng King.

With the Martial Soul Mountain under attack, Hun Zang seemed to be heavily affected. His body trembled as his face became flushed. The power from the Martial Soul Mountain had almost been severed from him.

The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance was a peak expert who had reached mid Grand Prime. Moreover, the noble, powerful blood of a divine beast flowed through his veins. Not only was his speed almost unmatched, but even his battle prowess could be described as impressive. A strike from him possessed extraordinary power.

“Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, our Martial Soul lineage has never done anything to you. What are you trying to do?” Hun Zang called out.

“Jian Chen must die. Even if the God clan is protecting him, I will never leave him alive,” the Azure Peng King’s icy voice rang out loudly from outer space, brimming with killing intent.

He was the only person who truly wanted to kill Jian Chen among the peak experts.

Hun Zang’s face became ugly. The Azure Peng King’s original form was a great peng. He had a vicious personality and was known for clinging to his grudges in the Saints’ World. He was not an easy person to deal with. Since he had said something like that, he really did want to kill Jian Chen.

However, he did indeed possess the strength and right to be fearless of the God clan. The War God of the God clan had yet to mature completely. With his terrifying speed, no one in the God clan could make him stay; that even included the three great elders.

“Hun Zang, you won’t be able to take away Jian Chen as long as the Anatta Tower remains with him.” The peak experts affected by Hun Zang’s Martial Soul Force had all recovered. They all struck out to keep Hun Zang busy.

Booms constantly rang out in outer space. The Azure Peng King launched consecutive attacks, where every single one of them was devastating, causing space to crack.

The projection of the Martial Soul Mountain tottered under his attacks. It already showed signs of collapse. The Martial Soul Array had been forcefully cut off as well, unable to support Hun Zang any longer.

After all, this was only a projection of the Martial Soul Mountain. It only contained a portion of the Martial Soul Mountain’s power. It was not the true Martial Soul Mountain.

Without the support of the Martial Soul Array, Hun Zang immediately lost the upper hand as he faced so many peak experts who were more powerful than him.

The protective formation of the Daohuang Empire had already been activated. All of its power gathered outside the city, locking in the shockwaves and preventing them from spreading out.

At the same time, the tremendous population of the city was all moved away by the power of the formation.

“The situation is bad. Chu Jian, let’s go help out Hun Zang. Aside from Hun Zang, there’s only me and you out of the six of us who can stand up to those people.” The six figures on the mountain projection did their best to stabilize the Martial Soul Mountain. One of the middle-aged men looked at the Desolate Plane and said sternly.

“We can’t. We have to stabilise the mountain projection. We can’t let it collapse from the attacks of the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, or we won’t be able to cross this huge distance and return to the Martial Soul Mountain through the Martial Soul Mountain’s power,” said Chu Jian sternly.

On the Desolate Plane, the ancestral emperor took action again. He reached out towards Jian Chen, locking down an entire region.

Jian Chen’s eyes turned cold. With a thought, the damaged Anatta Tower shot out from between his eyes. The power of laws that compressed the limits seemed to have condensed on the Anatta Tower. It was able to crush everything. Hence, as soon as the Anatta Tower appeared, the frozen space was instantly freed.

Jian Chen clutched the Anatta Tower and activated as much of its power as he could, sending it towards the ancestral emperor.

“The Anatta Tower!” The ancestral emperor’s eyes lit up. He stared at the Anatta Tower with shining eyes, and his hand that originally reached towards Jian Chen moved towards the Anatta Tower instead.

Terrifying power condensed on his hand. It seemed to be able to collapse space. He had put on the strongest defence.

However, the power of the Anatta Tower was just terrifying. Even though Jian Chen could not unleash any of its power as a peak god artifact, its weight alone was shocking.

Having been careless, the ancestral emperor was directly knocked hundreds of metres away by the force of the Anatta Tower.

“It really is a god artifact of the very peak!” The ancestral emperor’s eyes shone with interest. He had only been knocked away, not injured, because even though Jian Chen had refined five floors of the Anatta Tower, he was still unable to harm a Grand Prime through the Anatta Tower alone.

Immediately, the ancestral emperor took action again. This time, he was prepared. He did not collided with the Anatta Tower directly. Instead, he used a gentle force to wrap around the Anatta Tower.
