Chapter 2975: A New Grand Exalt

Jian Chen was familiar with all the organisations on the Ice Pole Plane. He was extremely fearful of the Flame Reverend, and he would never try to provoke him, but he discovered that he had still underestimated the infamy that the Flame Reverend had left behind on the Ice Pole Plane after hearing what He Qianchi told him.

From He Qianchi’s mannerisms, Jian Chen could tell that the Heavenly Crane clan was not simply wary of the Flame Reverend. Instead, they feared him. They feared him very deeply.

They feared him so much that they even refused to provoke a few lackeys under the Flame Reverend’s command.

And on top of that, that was under the circumstance that the Flame Reverend had already gone missing for a very long time.

However, while the Flame Reverend was very powerful, Jian Chen was unafraid. He remained composed and fearless. He said calmly, “Thank you for your warnings, senior, but there are just certain things I must do. Even if I’ll offend the Flame Reverend afterwards, I’ll still do them, as if I don’t, I might end up becoming filled with regret for the rest of my life one day.”

“Sigh, looks like you still don’t understand the viciousness of the Flame Reverend. The Flame Reverend has made a name for himself in the Saints’ World many years ago. The truly fearsome part about him is not his supreme cultivation as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, but his viciousness.”

“Throughout the history of the Saints’ World, there obviously has been plenty of people who’ve offended the Flame Reverend before, but there has not been a single person who has offended him or done something to displease him that has survived. Their deaths are instead insignificant. The Flame Reverend will even exterminate the sects and organisations behind these people.”

He Qianchi showed a hint of alarm on his solemn face for once. He continued sternly, “Take me for an example. If I were to become involved in the matters of the Moon God Hall, it would be fine if I obeyed the Flame Reverend, but as soon as I defy the Flame Reverend, he’ll settle this debt the day he appears again. He’ll directly attribute it to the Heavenly Crane clan, and the outcome…”

He Qianchi faltered. In short, he truly feared the Flame Reverend.

“As for the other supreme experts of the same cultivation in the Saints’ World, they’ll rarely ever kill you even if you offend them. At most, they’ll just teach you a lesson. However, the Flame Reverend will directly hunt you down and massacre your clan.”

Towards the end, He Qianchi paused after every single syllable, placing great emphasis on his words.

Even though He Qianchi’s description of the Flame Reverend was utterly terrifying, he had still failed to frighten Jian Chen. Instead, Jian Chen chuckled. “Senior, since the Flame Reverend has already gone missing for so many years, he obviously won’t appear again so soon. Moreover, even if the Flame Reverend appears, the first one to visit him will probably be the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.” There was something else Jian Chen did not mention, which was that he had a supreme expert who could contend with the Flame Reverend standing behind him.

The Wind Venerable was his greatest backing right now, and the current Wind Venerable was no longer the Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime of the past. Instead, he had already reached the ranks of sovereign, becoming an existence akin to the heavenly ways. He had truly attained supremacy.

The only downside was the Wind Venerable had become a sovereign of the world through a special method, so he had yet to completely grasp the power of a Grand Exalt.

Seeing how Jian Chen knew nothing and feared nothing, He Qianchi felt exhausted, so he just stopped with that. He said, “These are the God Tier pills for recovering the powers of the soul you asked for. I’ve brought it for you. However, these pills aren’t easy to refine. The materials are just too scarce. There isn’t much even in the clan’s reserves, so use it sparingly.”

After handing a jade bottle to Jian Chen, he said sternly, “There’s one last thing you need to understand. You might have given us three catties of Soil of Divine Blood, and our Heavenly Crane clan owes you a great favour, but our Heavenly Crane clan definitely won’t stand up for you in regards to the trouble you’ve created with the Flame Reverend. We might not even be bold enough to openly help you.”

“Don’t worry, senior. I obviously understand. I definitely won’t drag the Heavenly Crane clan into this mess either,” Jian Chen accepted the jade bottle and clasped his fist at He Qianchi.

But at this moment, the order and ways in the world suddenly pulsed violently. The ripple was so great that not only did it envelope the entire sky of the Ice Pole Plane instantly, but it even extended off to the very depths of the cosmos too.

This did not just occur on the Ice Pole Plane. The endless space of the Saints’ World that filled every single corner and region of the forty-nine great planes and eighty-one great planets experienced a violent ripple in the order of the world.

It seemed like a terrifying, indescribably great power had directly shaken up the ways of the world, shaking up the order of this world.

“Hahahahaha… hahahahahaha…”

At the same time, a stunning laughter rang out through space. The voice seemed to possess the power of ways. It did not spread as sound waves, instead spreading through the omnipresent power of laws that criss-crossed the entire world as a medium. It reached every corner of the vast Saints’ World instantly.

In that moment, the same resonant voice echoed everywhere, whether it was the forty-nine great planes, eighty-one great planets, or some hidden locations beyond these regions, such as the Lightning God clan that dwelled in the depths of the Lightning Zone of Annihilation. Apart from the divine halls left behind by past Grand Exalts and formations on the level of Grand Exalts, nothing could stop the voice.

Immediately, the laughter rang across the entire world. All the peak experts jerked to their senses in their extremely ancient or extremely powerful organisations.

In the depths of the Lightning God clan, the ancestral elders of the left and right who sat there like statues opened their eyes. Lei Shiguang, who happened to be in secluded cultivation, emerged with a face of surprise. The three of them appeared outside the Lightning Zone of Annihilation with a flash and expressed shock and admiration, as well as some envy.

It was not just the Lightning God clan. The other archaean clans of the Saints’ World responded similarly.

On the Ice Pole Plane, the three ancestors of the Heavenly Crane clan silently left the Ice Pole Plane and appeared in outer space, staring off in a certain direction of space in shock.

It was not just the three of them. Even the ancestors from the greatest organisation on the Ice Pole Plane, the Snow sect, had emerged and appeared in outer space.

Immediately, several dozen figures appeared in the space beyond the Ice Pole Plane. The ancestors of all the peak organisations had emerged from secluded cultivation.

“From today onwards, may the world be witness, I, Overarching Heaven, have become an exalt…” The vast voice rang out once more, reaching every region of space in the Saints’ World through the laws and order. Within it was a supreme pressure that none could oppose. The many space beasts that wandered the cosmos collapsed and trembled.

“Grand Exalt… Grand Exalt… This is the might of a Grand Exalt… Our Saints’ World… has birthed a new Grand Exalt…” On the Ice Pole Plane, in the frigid cavern, both He Qianchi and Yun Wufeng trembled away gently. They were filled with disbelief.

“Overarching Heaven… Overarching Heaven… This is the Sacred Lord of Overarching Heaven from the Overarching Heaven Plane. Never did I think he would take the final step and become a sovereign of the world…” He Qianchi’s voice trembled gently. He understood all too well what a Grand Exalt represented.

Jian Chen blinked his eyes, also shocked. At this moment, he discovered that his grasp over the Laws of the Sword had become rather hindered. He experienced great interference and obstruction.

“

Is this how it feels when a Grand Exalt shakes the ways of the world?

” he wondered to himself. He had seen several Grand Exalts before and even interacted with them at a close range, but today was the first time he had witnessed the endless might of a Grand Exalt shaking the ways of the world.

He could shake the laws of an entire world with his strength alone. The power behind that was beyond imagination.
