At this moment, the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion’s several hundred figures filled the surrounding space. The presence of each illusion was entirely the same. It was impossible to distinguish between them.
Suddenly, eight of her illusions approached Jian Chen at the same time. They either raised their hands, formed seals, or used some kind of secret technique. They attacked Jian Chen from eight different directions at the same time.
The first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion only had Jian Chen in her eyes. She completely ignored Xing Caijian on the side.
However, when she struck, she used her illusions to influence Jian Chen and Xing Caijian again, sending them into a fake illusion.
This was the laws of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. It turned the laws into illusions, so even Jian Chen struggled to resist it.
He had the Source of Life. His recovery was extremely powerful. He did not fear the attacks of Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts at all. However, when he faced abilities like the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion’s, Jian Chen was placed in an extremely tough spot.
By now, Jian Chen had been caught by one of the illusions from the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion. The illusion originally only possessed the presence of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. It did not have the corresponding cultivation. However, from the moment she made contact with Jian Chen, a tremendous power seemed to appear from nowhere, trying to restrain Jian Chen with great force.
But at this moment, the power of the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star appeared again. With a flash, it slashed towards the first master’s illusion with chilling might.
The illusion’s face changed. Right when the sword Qi was about to touch her, all of the power in the illusion vanished instantly. Afterwards, it was slashed to fragments by the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star’s sword Qi.
But shortly afterwards, the seven other illusions approached Jian Chen at the same time. The first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion’s true cultivation moved between the seven illusions, trying to find an opportunity to capture and abduct Jian Chen.
The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star took action again. A resplendent strand of sword Qi pressed against the space there, making it crack.
Faced with the sword Qi, the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion’s seven illusions shattered at the same time.
However, right as they shattered, her true power descended upon the other illusions.
There were still several hundred of her illusions in the surroundings.
In the next moment, another eight illusions took action again, rushing towards Jian Chen from all directions.
Her objective was very simple. She wanted to use her illusions to exhaust the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star’s powers.
However, the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion had angered the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star with her actions. The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star rose up from Xing Caijian’s hand by itself. It shone with a hazy light, which seemed to be composed of countless stars.
The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star did not leave its sheath. It simply slashed out with the sheath on.
The slash released a paramount power. Afterwards, the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion’s illusions that lunged towards Jian Chen crumbled midway.
Following those illusions, the several hundred other illusions further away vanished in swathes.
Instantly, all of the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion’s illusions vanished. All that remained was her true body.
However, a deep gash had appeared on her chest, reaching through to her back. The high quality defensive god artifact had been pierced with ease.
Spurt! Blood sprayed from the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion. Her alluring face had already become sheet-white. She gave off a sense of feebleness.
She had already been heavily injured by the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star’s sword Qi!
Suddenly, the space around Jian Chen froze. He seemed to be encased in ice. He was immobilised.
An expert skilled in the Laws of Space had taken action against him. Their mastery over the Laws of Space was extremely great. Their ability to freeze space was enough to easily restrain all early Immortal Exalts.
In the next moment, Jian Chen suddenly vanished. When he reappeared, he was already near the boundary of the Nine Dragons Prison Cauldron Formation.
A middle-aged man in white robes appeared before him. He was the greatest expert of the Immortal Sect of Grand Unity, the Worldless Immortal Exalt. At this moment, his eyes shone with fervour and excitement. He grabbed Jian Chen by the shoulder, about to flee into the distance.
At this moment, a powerful sensation of danger overtook him. The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star hovered in the air, directly producing a strand of sword Qi that shot right towards the Worldless Immortal Exalt. It was like the fall of a galaxy, filling the entire space and rapidly spreading towards him.
The Worldless Immortal Exalt was extremely stern. He extended his finger at the incoming sword Qi. With that, the space began to ripple like water before being indefinitely stretched.
He used the Laws of Space to rewrite space, indefinitely stretching the distance between him and the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.
Immediately, the sword Qi produced by the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star became extremely slow. In the eyes of the surrounding people, the strand of sword Qi almost came to a standstill.
The sword Qi was very powerful. It could easily tear through space and destroy galaxies. However, the Worldless Immortal Exalt used his mastery over the Laws of Space to forcefully stabilise this region, forcefully dragging the sword Qi from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star into his own world.
However, that only lasted for a moment. The Worldless Immortal Exalt’s body began to spasm gently. His face rapidly paled as well. A streak of blood had already leaked out from the corner of his lips.
He faced unimaginable pressure in his standoff against the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.
Suddenly, a dull sound rang out, and the surrounding space twisted wildly. The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star’s sword Qi had still ended up overwhelming the Worldless Immortal Exalt’s Laws of Space, breaking free from the influence and instantly accelerating.
During that time, the Worldless Immortal Exalt had turned around and swung his hand violently at the boundary of the Nine Dragons Prison Cauldron Formation. As the space cracked open, a gate leading to the outside world silently appeared.
He grabbed Jian Chen in one hand and stepped towards the gate. At the same time, he swung his hand and two blinding balls of light flew towards the sword Qi behind him.
The first ball of light was a circular shield. It blazed brightly, radiating with the might of a high quality god artifact.
The second ball of light was a fist-sized object. It crackled with purple lightning, releasing a terrifying presence.
It was an Immortal-destroying Thunder, an extremely rare Immortal-destroying Thunder of exceedingly high quality. It was enough to threaten Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.
Boom! The sword Qi from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star punched through the high quality god artifact shield, and the shield immediately exploded. It turned into a storm of energy that wore away the sword Qi’s power.
Shortly afterwards, the Immortal-destroying Thunder exploded. Endless purple lightning swallowed the space, drowning out the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star’s sword Qi.
The Worldless Immortal Exalt was about to leave through a gate.
“Worldless Immortal Exalt, I can let anyone leave here except for you. You grasp the Laws of Space, and you’ve already reached the Sixth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt. If you leave, we won’t be able to catch up to you,” the Myriad Gold Ancestor of the Gold Yang sect called out coldly. Shortly afterwards, the Nine Dragons Prison Cauldron Formation began to operate, immediately shutting the gate that the Worldless Immortal Exalt had opened with the Laws of Space.
The Worldless Immortal Exalt’s face changed. In the next moment, a streak of light plunged into his back and emerged from his chest. It was the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star’s sword Qi.
Spurt! Blood sprayed out from the Worldless Immortal Exalt’s mouth. Suddenly, he felt his hand become empty. The Myriad Gold Ancestor had already appeared silently beside him. Jian Chen had fallen into the Myriad Gold Ancestor’s hands now.
“Senior Heavenly Star!” In the distance, Xing Caijian called out. She was unhappy with the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.
As if it sensed Xing Caijian’s mood, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star finally began to draw itself from its sheath after a moment of silence.
Immediately, a peerless edge revealed itself to the world, flooding the entire space with its blinding sharpness.
