Chapter 3618: Challenge
“Find me? Hmph, Chang Yang, I think you’re out of your mind.” Immortal Emperor Duan Hun sneered. He was completely aware of the situation. He obviously knew why Jian Chen was here.
“Fellow Chang Yang, I do hope you can stop where it is sensible and stop with these foolish actions.” As soon as Immortal Emperor Duan Hun had finished speaking, another Immortal Emperor who served as a Thousand Immortal General arrived.
He was an old man in white robes who gave off a sagely bearing.
“Gathering Clouds Master, you’ve come as well.” Immortal Emperor Duan Hun looked at the old man who arrived afterwards and smiled gently.
The Gathering Clouds Master nodded towards Immortal Emperor Duan Hun before turning towards Jian Chen to study him.
A sharp light flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes. The Gathering Clouds Master was one of the people on his list.
“What happened to you was peace at a cost. If you continue with your recklessness, you will probably get nothing out of it.” Another voice rang out of nowhere after the Gathering Clouds Master.
Another Immortal Emperor appeared before Jian Chen, also a Thousand Immortal General.
That was not all. Afterwards, Immortal Emperors arrived at Immortal Emperor Sen Yang’s general’s estate one after another. There were a total of twenty of them.
These people all happened to be sponsors of the gambling parlour.
With twenty Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors gathered here, an invisible pressure filled the surroundings, enveloping Jian Chen.
If any other Immortal Emperor were here, they probably would have shrunken back already, as none of the twenty Immortal Emperors present were as simple as a regular Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
Behind each and every one of them was a peak organisation that possessed an Immortal Exalt.
Without any exaggeration, the twenty Immortal Emperors here could represent twenty peak organisations in the Immortals’ World to a certain extent.
However, of all the people they could run into, they just had to run into Jian Chen!
Jian Chen scanned past the twenty Immortal Emperors coldly and said, “I’m certain you all know why I’m here. Since that’s the case, I’ll save my words. I’ll give you all two choices right now. The first choice is for you to compensate me for my loss of two million five-coloured immortal crystals, and I’ll forget about this.”
“Your second choice is that you don’t compensate me, but from today onwards, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get any peace in the Observance Heaven City from today onwards.”
“Hahahaha, Chang Yang, you’re only a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, and you want to boast like that before twenty Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors? Don’t tell me you actually think you earned your position as a Thousand Immortal General through actual strength? If it weren’t for the secret treasure that heals you, how would you have been able to claim this position with your puny strength?”
Immortal Emperor Duan Hun laughed aloud as soon as Jian Chen said that. He looked towards Jian Chen with undisguised scorn and ridicule. “I’m right here. Chang Yang, why don’t you show me how we won’t be able to find any peace anymore?”
“Alright, as you wish.” Jian Chen smiled. In the next moment, he took out his official seal and dazzling, golden light bloomed in his hand. He said sternly, “Thousand Immortal General Chang Yang formally issues a challenge to Thousand Immortal Emperor Duan Hun.”
Jian Chen suddenly looked towards Immortal Emperor Duan Hun. His eyes burned with battle intent. “Immortal Emperor Duan Hun, are you bold enough to accept it?”
Immortal Emperor Duan Hun squinted his eyes, which shone coldly. He said sinisterly, “You think you can challenge me with just that secret treasure that heals you? Hmph, if that’s the case, I’ll waste away all of the life energy in that secret treasure of yours.”
Immortal Emperor Duan Hun accepted Jian Chen’s challenge without batting an eye. At the same time, the nineteen other Immortal Emperors present all passed some rare heavenly resources or God Tier pills over to Immortal Emperor Duan Hun.
Immediately, Jian Chen realised that no matter who he challenged, they would always receive the support of the nineteen others, and their objective was to exhaust his life energy.
Jian Chen only sneered inside regarding this. Even some regular Immortal Exalts could not deplete the energy of the Source of Life, let alone a group of Immortal Emperors.
In the next moment, the power of the Observance Heaven City descended and sent Jian Chen and Immortal Emperor Duan Hun into the ancient battlefield.
With their departure, the nineteen Immortal Emperors that had gathered did not leave. Instead, they stayed put and waited quietly.
“Do you think fellow Duan Hun will actually be able to deplete the energy in the secret treasure?”
“I don’t know about that, but I do know that Chang Yang’s secret treasure won’t have a lot of life energy left.”
“Though, I’m more concerned with what the secret treasure is. It’s actually so wondrous. If we obtained it, wouldn’t it just be overkill?”
“It’s a pity that without personally seeing the secret treasure, even we cannot guess what it is. Chang Yang has hidden it away far too well. Even when Immortal Exalt Ji Yun used his Heaven Observation technique from such a close range, he was unable to see through him.”
The Immortal Emperors were all very leisurely. They were all very curious about Jian Chen’s secret treasure. They also desired and lusted after it very much, making no attempt to hide it.
However, under the rules of the Observance Heaven City, they could only restrain their desires and temptations.
However, they did not wait for too long. In a little over half a day, the power of the Observance Heaven City surged, and Jian Chen appeared before them again.
However, none of the Immortal Emperors present directed their attention towards Jian Chen. They all looked towards their own side, at the illusionary figure. All of them shuddered inside.
That was Immortal Emperor Duan Hun, except he had lost his body, now reduced to a soul.
“Fellow Duan Hun, you had so many healing resources on you, s-so why did you only last half a day?” an Immortal Emperor asked in a dumbfounded manner. He was in disbelief.
Immortal Emperor Duan Hun was dejected, hovering there without moving like he had just suffered a tremendous setback. His gaze was gloomy.
Only he knew that if it were not for the protection of the Observance Heaven City, he would be dead already.
“Thousand Immortal General Jian Chen formally challenges Immortal Emperor Sen Yang! Immortal Emperor Sen Yang, are you bold enough to accept?” Jian Chen seemed a little dishevelled, but he was brimming with vigour, staring straight at Immortal Emperor Sen Yang.
Immortal Emperor Sen Yang’s expression immediately changed. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he was unable to say anything. Immortal Emperor Duan Hun’s fate had clearly left him fearful.
“Don’t tell me you’re not bold enough, Immortal Emperor Sen Yang? A mighty Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor fears a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor?” Jian Chen looked at Immortal Emperor Sen Yang in a provoking manner.
Immortal Emperor Sen Yang’s face immediately darkened after that. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I accept your challenge!”
Afterwards, Immortal Emperor Duan Hun, who had returned to his senses, also passed the remaining heavenly resources on him to Immortal Emperor Sen Yang.
In the next moment, Immortal Emperor Sen Yang and Jian Chen vanished at the same time, entering the ancient battlefield.
After around the same time, Jian Chen and Immortal Emperor Sen Yang appeared again. Apart from seeming even more miserable than before, Jian Chen was essentially unscathed.
On the other hand, Immortal Emperor Sen Yang had ended up suffering the same fate as Immortal Emperor Duan Hun. His body had been destroyed. Only his soul remained.
“Thousand Immortal General Jian Chen challenges the Gathering Clouds Master.” Jian Chen continued to challenge them.
The Gathering Clouds Master’s face immediately changed. At this moment, it was not just the Gathering Clouds Master. After witnessing Immortal Emperor Sen Yang and Immortal Emperor Duan Hun’s fates, the other Immortal Emperors all became heavy-hearted too. They were no longer as optimistic as before.
Before any of them had noticed, one of the Immortal Emperors silently vanished, leaving without any hesitation.
With a precedent, the others finally let go of their pride and vanished silently as well.
“Sigh, I better go. It’s not like I was the first one to leave.” With that thought in mind, the other Immortal Emperors all left.
In the blink of an eye, only Immortal Emperor Sen Yang, Immortal Emperor Duan Hun, and the Gathering Clouds Master remained from the initial twenty Immortal Emperors.
The others had all left.
