Chapter 2202: A Grand Prime’s Pursuit

Jian Chen immediately felt that an extremely powerful presence had locked onto him. The space around him seemed to seize up at that moment, cascading down on him. Not only did his body feel as heavy as a mountain, where he struggled to even lift his leg, but he even felt like a boulder crushed down on his chest, preventing him from breathing.

“Grand Primes are actually so terrifying,” Jian Chen was extremely shocked. The presence from the Azure Peng King made his heart shiver. If it were not for the fact that his Chaotic Body had reached the thirteenth layer, increasing his strength by several times over, he probably would not be able to even raise a finger before the Azure Peng King’s pressure.

He felt a presence of death with great clarity from the Azure Peng King.

He knew that even after breaking through to the thirteenth layer, he was still as insignificant as an ant before the Azure Peng King.

“I never thought Jian Chen would really be on planet Tianming” the planet lord hovered in outer space and stared at Jian Chen in surprise.

“Jian Chen is done for unless the experts of the God clan step forward…”

“Jian Chen still has a talisman in his hand. It looks like he wants to flee, but unfortunately, it’s impossible for him to do that before the Azure Peng King with his current strength because he won’t even have the opportunity to activate the talisman…”

“The little War God of the God clan has said that nothing can happen to Jian Chen. I wonder if the Azure Peng King would really kill Jian Chen or not…”

“Hehe, I do hope for Jian Chen to die to the hands of the Azure Peng King so that I can see the God clan’s response. If the God clan can teach the Azure Peng King a lesson, it’ll be quite the delight…”

The people of various ages around the planet lord all stared at Jian Chen in interest as they discussed.

“Azure Peng King, you actually want to personally harass a junior with your status. If this makes it out, it’ll probably damage your name,” Xu Ran said with an ugly expression. She was unable to protect Jian Chen either now that the Azure Peng King had come in person. The only thing she could do was warn the Azure Peng King about his status.

Unfortunately, the Azure Peng King’s temper was not logical. Such a concept did not exist in his head at all. Xu Ran’s words did not make the Azure Peng King’s determination to kill Jian Chen waver at all.

“Mo Cheng was the disciple that this king placed the greatest hopes on. Since his death is related to you, you’re also one of the people responsible. Even if the people of the God clan come to plead for mercy, they can’t protect you,” the Azure Peng King growled. Killing intent soared from his body as he directly extended a finger towards Jian Chen’s forehead.

His gesture was only a very casual attack, but the world seemed to pale while the ground rumbled before it.

It was as if his gesture had replaced the heavens, becoming a will that completely surpassed the heavens, enough to control everything. Even the thought of resisting became impossible.

Moreover, the terrifying attack from the gesture not only enveloped Jian Chen, but Kai Ya was not spared either. She also became a target for the Azure Peng King’s attack.

Clearly, the Azure Peng King did not even plan on letting Kai Ya go.

Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed as he experienced a sense of danger greater than anything before. Chills ran down his spine.

The Azure Peng King was just too terrifying and too powerful. Before him, Jian Chen did not even have the chance to activate the Cosmic Movement Talisman.

At that critical moment, a damaged tower covered in sword slashes suddenly appeared. Like a shield, it stood before Jian Chen.

Boom!

The Azure Peng King’s attack struck the damaged tower with unimaginably terrifying force. It erupted with an ear-splitting boom as devastaing energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings in the form of a storm. Space directly shattered, becoming covered with web-like cracks.

The imperial capital of the Feng Empire was as fragile as paper before the energy. Countless structures collapsed in waves, while the protective formation only lasted for a few seconds before shattering loudly.

Instantly, the majestic and prosperous imperial capital of the Feng Empire was reduced to a shape that bore no resemblance to its prior state. It had basically completely fallen into ruins. The cultivators who moved about in the city either became injured or dead. Countless people had their lives cut short. Only a few people with impressive strength managed to survive.

The damaged tower had been knocked away quickly by the Azure Peng King’s strike. Although Jian Chen managed to block the Azure Peng King’s attack completely by hiding behind it, his organs were thrown into turmoil when the tower collided into him. Many of his bones broke while his blood surged, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably in the end.

Jian Chen was already standing before Kai Ya, so she was fine.

The appearance of the damaged tower made the Azure Peng King’s eyes narrow suddenly. His unwavering heart began to pound uncontrollably at that moment as undisguised delight filled his eyes.

“The Anatta Tower! It’s actually the Anatta Tower!” The Azure Peng King recognised the tower with a single glance. His cold eyes now burned with desire. He temporarily forgot about Jian Chen and flashed forwards right towards the Anatta Tower.

“That tower seems to be…” At the same time, the planet lord’s originally sunken face from the Azure Peng King destroying the imperial capital suddenly became stunned. His eyes shone brightly as he became fixated on the damaged tower.

The eyes of the peak experts who basically stood on the same level as the planet lord also lit up. All of their eyes lit up in that instance as they stared at the tower without blinking at all.

“It’s the Anatta Tower. It can’t be wrong. It’s definitely the Anatta Tower…”

“The Anatta Tower is the Anatta Grand Exalt’s famed treasure. It’s a renowned god artifact of the Saints’ World. There are even rumours that the Anatta Tower has

“The Anatta Tower has actually appeared with Jian Chen. This is completely unbelievable…”

Whether it was the planet lord or the peak experts beside him, flames of desire sprang up in their eyes in the instance they recognised the Anatta Tower. They were all interested. Then they looked at one another, and after gritting their teeth, they all charged towards the Anatta Tower.

They understood that once they took part, they would be offending the Azure Peng King, and it was likely that the Azure Peng King would hunt them down relentlessly. However, the Anatta Tower was just worth far too much. It was enough for them to even go as far as becoming enemies with the Azure Peng King.

Once they obtained the Anatta Tower, they could offer it up to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, and it would be a service of great merit. The merit would be so great that they might even be able to ask the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng to personally kill the Azure Peng King, and there would still be more to spare.

They could use the remaining merit to exchange for benefits that satisfied them from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.

The planet lord and the others were nowhere near as fast as the Azure Peng King, but they were also Grand Primes after all. The distance between them and Jian Chen was basically non-existent. With a single step, they all appeared around the Anatta Tower.

“You’re looking to die!” The Azure Peng King’s killing intent soared when he saw how they wanted to take something from him. At a time like this, he could no longer care about Jian Chen. Bellowing out coldly, he directly attacked the planet lord and so on.

In his eyes, Jian Chen was an insignificant existence. Even if there were a hundred or a thousand Jian Chens, it was still nowhere enough to tempt him more than the Anatta Tower. As a result, his main objective became obtaining the Anatta Tower now.

It was also at this moment that Jian Chen finally had enough time to activate the Cosmic Movement Talisman. He had no time to wait for Kai Ya to enter the Anatta Tower. When every second mattered, he directly wrapped his right hand around Kai Ya’s thin waist tightly and grabbed the Anatta Tower after it had shrunk. Surrounded by the power from the talisman, he vanished.

“Hmph, do you think that you can escape from this king?” The Azure Peng King sneered when he saw Jian Chen flee. He extended a hand, and a droplet of blood immediately flew over from afar, floating in his hand.

The droplet of blood was Jian Chen’s chaotic blood.

“You will pay for your foolish actions today,” the Azure Peng King glanced at the planet lord and so on coldly before looking at the droplet of blood in his hand. He smiled happily for some reason, “As long as I have your blood, I can find you with ease even if you flee to the ends of the world.” With that, the Azure Peng King immediately shot off into the distance. He unleashed his extreme speed, disappearing into the cosmos.

Xu Ran floated above the ruins of the Feng Empire in a rather horrible shape. She thought, “The Anatta Tower has been exposed. They’re in trouble now. And the Azure Peng King has a droplet of Jian Chen’s blood. He just needs to use a secret technique with Jian Chen’s blood as a medium, and he would be able to find Jian Chen’s location with absolute ease. It’ll be very difficult for Jian Chen to escape. Even if he hides in the Anatta Tower, there’ll be traces of him.”

“It looks like I can only pay a visit to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. Even though I really don’t like that place, perhaps this is the only way to save Jian Chen from the Azure Peng King.”
