The Immortal Devouring Orchid devoured extremely quickly. In just a short while, a main stalk of the Immortal Devouring Orchid had shattered the black lotus due to the loss of too much energy.
Spurt!
With the h.e.l.l Formation of Karmic Flames destroyed, all eighty-one Immortal Monarchs and nine Immortal Emperors were affected. Blood spurted from all of their mouths.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid’s main stalks began to dance again, attacking the boundary of the formation furiously. At this moment, neither the eighty-one Immortal Monarchs nor the nine Immortal Emperors were at their peak condition. They all showed feebleness of different levels.
Stabilising the formation under such a state obviously led to a decline in its various functionalities.
As a result, when one of the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s main stalks struck the boundary, the s.p.a.ce there immediately shattered like a mirror, exposing a pale-faced Immortal Emperor sitting on a throne.
The frantic expert was a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
But shortly afterwards, the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s main stalk pierced the Immortal Emperor’s chest violently like a sharp sword and began to furiously devour his vital energies.
The Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants shrieked out. His cultivation, his life, his everything, was being devoured at an extremely shocking rate, such that his originally plump body rapidly withered.
“Hmph, you wretch, don’t get too ahead of yourself!”
At this moment, an elderly voice rang out from nowhere. With the voice, a terrifying streak of light suddenly appeared, slicing through the air resplendently and landing on the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s main stalk.
Boom!
With a startling rumble, the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s main stalk was severed, and the Immortal Emperor who had his chest pierced removed the severed end of the main stalk frantically. He quickly ingested G.o.d Tier pills as he retreated in a hurry.
A grey-haired old man suddenly appeared in the formation. He possessed a ruddy appearance and a sagely demeanour. He seemed like an enlightened immortal that had transcended the clutches of secularity.
“It’s elder Dao. Fantastic, elder Dao has actually come personally.”
The Immortal Emperors seated on the thrones all beamed with joy when they saw the old man.
The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had over thirty Immortal Emperor great elders in total, but there were only three that had reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer.
One of them was elder Dao of the mixed-blood branch!
Dao Wuxue!
At this moment, Dao Wuxue’s presence surged. The great energy spilling out from his body was like turbulent waves, pressing against the s.p.a.ce until it rippled.
This was the strength of a peak Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, only a step away from Immortal Exalt.
If the high quality G.o.d artifact blade in his hand was included in the equation, then without any doubt, Dao Wuxue’s battle prowess was completely on par with a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.
Of course, that was only a regular First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!
At this moment, Dao Wuxue was very stern. His sharp gaze was like swords, staring at the Immortal Devouring Orchid with endless hostility. He said sternly, “Do all that you can to stabilise the formation and reactivate the h.e.l.l Formation of Karmic Flames. Today, we must kill this daemon orchid and rescue Xiang s.h.i.+.”
“Yes, elder Dao!” the nine Immortal Emperors on the thrones answered.
Shortly afterwards, they began to ignite their essence blood again with the eighty-one Immortal Monarchs reluctantly.
Dao Wuxue’s presence erupted, making his clothes sway. The high quality G.o.d artifact blade in his hand also erupted with blinding light and a tremendous might of the world.
Dao Wuxue used a G.o.d Tier Immortal Technique without any hesitation.
With his strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor and the high quality G.o.d artifact, the G.o.d Tier Immortal Techniques he unleashed were obviously terrifying.
But at this moment, Dao Wuxue suddenly felt a chill as if great danger loomed right ahead. It immediately made his spine tingle as his body began to s.h.i.+ver uncontrollably.
His eyes narrowed, staring straight at the Immortal Devouring Orchid. All of the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s main stalks drooped naturally, without taking any action. However, the colossal flower above lowered its head slowly, facing Dao Wuxue with the pistil.
Dao Wuxue saw eternal darkness within the pistil. It seemed to lead to another cosmos, the only pa.s.sageway to another s.p.a.ce.
On top of that, the darkness of the pistil seemed to possess a powerful attractive force that he could not resist. When Dao Wuxue gazed into the darkness, he seemed to be deeply drawn in, unable to s.h.i.+ft his gaze away.
His entire mind, his entire consciousness, seemed to be devoured. His gaze also blanked out.
“Elder Dao, elder Dao, what’s wrong with you? Come to your senses.”
“Oh no, there’s something wrong with elder Dao’s state.”
......
…
At this moment, the nine Immortal Emperors on the thrones who had always been focusing on elder Dao noticed that something was amiss. They all called out anxiously and uneasily.
At this moment, elder Dao’s existence was without a doubt a pillar of support. If anything happened to him, then the consequences would be unthinkable.
Perhaps their calls played an effect. Dao Wuxue’s blank gaze finally recovered, but it was already too late. A tremendous force of attraction emanated out from the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s pistil.
The attractive force seemed to be able to devour s.p.a.ce. It seemed to be able to devour the ways!
Nothing in the world could be spared from it.
Under this force, Dao Wuxue approached the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s gaping mouth uncontrollably.
“Argh!”
Dao Wuxue was greatly frightened. He let out a great howl as his energy as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor erupted gloriously. He tried all that he could to break free.
However, to his fear, he was actually immobilised by the force. He was restrained firmly. Even when he mobilised all the energy in his body, it was nowhere near enough to resist the attractive force.
“We stand no chance against this flower! Run! Run! All of you, run! Go and find the ancestors!” Dao Wuxue called out both frantically and fearfully. As soon as he said that, he was swallowed whole by the Immortal Devouring Orchid, vanis.h.i.+ng completely. Even his presence vanished.
The nine Immortal Emperors on the thrones were stunned. They all blanked out. Their faces were filled with disbelief and extreme fear.
Dao Wuxue was a peak Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor wielding a high quality G.o.d artifact bestowed on him by the ancestors. His battle prowess was completely on par with First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.
Yet in the end, such a powerful existence failed to resist at all. He was directly devoured.
The strength of the Immortal Devouring Orchid renewed the knowledge of the nine Immortal Emperors once more.
“I understand now. Earlier, when the Immortal Devouring Orchid fought against us with its tendrils, it was actually just fooling around with us. Its true method of attack was never the tendrils but its devouring ability.”
“From beginning to end, the Immortal Devouring Orchid never took us seriously. Only elder Dao had the right to make it to demonstrate its true strength.”
“Immortal Devouring Orchids are known for devouring. Devouring is their true ability. As for those tendrils, they had never been the main method of attack for Immortal Devouring Orchids.”
At this moment, the nine Immortal Emperors finally understood what had been happening. They could not help but tremble.
“Flee!”
In the next moment, the nine Immortal Emperors all vanished from the thrones.They abandoned the formation without any hesitation, scattering and fleeing as quickly as they could.
