Chapter 2967: Instant Killing a Chaotic Prime

“The secret tablet is the key. It can open the Burial Moon Cavern. Apart from great elder Yun Wufeng, everyone in our Moon God Hall possesses a secret tablet,” said the sixth elder.

“Do you have a way to obtain the secret tablet from a great elder?” Jian Chen asked with a frown.

“That might be rather difficult, as none of the elders like me regularly go to the Burial Moon Cavern. If you suddenly ask a great elder for the tablet, it’ll raise suspicion,” the sixth elder said in a troubled manner.

Cold light immediately flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes with that. He thought, “Since I can’t obtain the tablet through normal means, then I’ll have to use some abnormal means. These great elders of the Moon God Hall have pledged themselves to Nan Potian already anyway. They’re fairy Hao Yue’s enemies, so it won’t be a pity even if they die.”

“Sixth elder, find a way for me to approach the weakest great elder in the Moon God Hall.”

“Yes, senior. The weakest great elder of the Moon God Hall is called Hong Moqing, a First Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime. They had only joined the Moon God Hall several thousand years ago because of hall master Nan’s invitation.” The sixth elder’s feeble soul lurked in Jian Chen’s head, constantly providing him with various information regarding the Moon God Hall.

Perhaps because he had developed a deep fear for Jian Chen’s Martial Soul Force, he had basically been serving Jian Chen with everything that he had. He did not try any tricks at all.

With the cooperation of someone who knew the Moon God Hall in and out like the sixth elder, Jian Chen moved through the Moon God Hall extremely smoothly. Even when he came across a few points with powerful formations, the sixth elder taught him the way to open them.

“Regions on the tenth floor and above can only be accessed with the identity tablets of elders. My Space Ring is in our possession, so you can use my identity tablet to enter.”

“There are many branches along the way and each path leads off to a different place. We have to take the third from the left.”

“This is called the Thousand Step Staircase. Follow the staircase all the way up, and you’ll arrive at where great elder Hong Moqing cultivates. As an elder of the Moon God Hall, I possess very great status in the Moon God Hall, which is why I can directly see the great elder.”

The Moon God Hall was extremely large, like a miniature world. Jian Chen followed the sixth elder’s directions and reached his destination very soon.

Before him was a delightful garden with various heavenly resources planted in the ground. They gave off a dense fragrance, which was refreshing.

Jian Chen glanced past them and discovered that these heavenly resources were not of high quality. None of them had reached God Tier. To Chaotic Primes, these heavenly resources had a greater value as ornaments than any practical use they could offer.

In the very centre of the garden was a tiny courtyard. Sure enough, Jian Chen sensed the presence of a First Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime from the courtyard.

“Sixth elder, you’ve suddenly visited this king, so what do you have to report?” At the same time, an enchanting, charming voice rang out from the courtyard, enough to spark the most primitive desires of humans.

“This is great elder Hong Moqing. Great elder Hong Moqing’s relationship with hall master Nan seems to be a little more than what you would call ordinary. She should be the most important person to hall master Nan,” said the sixth elder.

Jian Chen immediately began playing the role of the sixth elder, bending over and showing great respect. He clasped his fist. “Great elder, I have something important to report.”

“Oh? Something that even an elder of my Moon God Hall can call important? You’ve piqued my curiosity. Go on!” Great elder Hong Moqing’s voice rang out from the courtyard.

Jian Chen lowered his head, and a strange light filled his eyes. He did not directly speak. Instead, he communicated secretly, “Great elder, I’ve just received secret news that the hall master might still be alive.”

With that, the pressure of a Chaotic Prime suddenly vanished. A middle-aged woman in a red dress suddenly appeared before Jian Chen. Her figure was slender and charming. She was already in her forties, but it instead added some mature charm to her, making her very irresistible.

She was one of the great elders of the Moon God Hall, Hong Moqing.

“Nan Potian is still alive? Do you have any other news on him?” Hong Moqing stared straight at Jian Chen.

Jian Chen nodded and said cautiously, “Please activate the formations here, great elder. I’m just afraid that this news might be leaked.”

Hong Moqing did not doubt him. She immediately waved her hands, and a powerful formation appeared.

The formation did not possess any offensive or defensive capabilities. It could only isolate everything that went on in here.

However, as soon as the formation was complete, a powerful sword intent suddenly erupted, immediately making Hong Moqing’s face change drastically. She immediately spotted a delicate, finger-sized sword Qi hovering over the sixth elder’s head.

“You-” Hong Moqing’s eyes narrowed suddenly. She could sense life-threatening danger from the sword Qi and instinctively tried to ask about the sixth elder’s identity. However, by the time she had said a single word, the sword Qi over Jian Chen’s head had already arrived, piercing into Hong Moqing’s forehead with indescribable speed.

Jian Chen struck extremely quickly. Clearly, he finished off Hong Moqing in the quickest and cleanest way possible, just in case they fought and alarmed the other great elders in the Moon God Hall.

Boom!

Hong Moqing only felt her head rumble before almost losing consciousness completely. Eighty percent of her soul that belonged to a Chaotic Prime had immediately dispersed under the single strand of sword Qi.

The heavy injury did not just cause Hong Moqing pain. Instead, her consciousness blurred, or in other words, the intense, sharp pain immediately numbed her soul, making her lose senses over everything.

Hong Moqing collapsed like a board. Jian Chen’s strand of Profound Sword Qi did not directly destroy her soul, but it did make eighty percent of it collapse.

“A single strand of Profound Sword Qi almost killed a First Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime. It’s even stronger than what I was expecting.” Jian Chen was satisfied with the result of this attack.

Back then in the Darkstar World, his Profound Sword Qi was powerless against the Darkstar Emperor because his soul was protected by the bronze lamp. However, this time was the first time he had used the Profound Sword Qi on a Chaotic Prime after breaking through with the Way of the Sword.

“In the past at the Gloomwater sect, my Profound Sword Qi could only injure the souls of Chaotic Primes to a certain degree. Now, it can basically kill weaker Chaotic Primes,” Jian Chen rejoiced inside, but he did not waste any time. He closed his hand, and a powerful beam of light immediately condensed like it was solid. It directly pierced Hong Moqing’s soul.

Under Jian Chen’s final strike, the remaining fifth of Hong Moqing’s soul immediately dispersed. She was dead.

As a First Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, she did not even get the opportunity to fight back before dying.

“I’ve wasted a strand of Profound Sword Qi, but I have no other choice if I want to finish off a Chaotic Prime quickly and cleanly. Otherwise, once we begin fighting, the disturbance will be huge,” Jian Chen thought. He collected Hong Moqing’s Space Ring and found the tablet that the sixth elder was speaking about inside there.

Jian Chen stowed Hong Moqing’s corpse into his Space Ring, preparing to feed her to the Immortal Devouring Orchid. Afterwards, he left this place with the tablet to the Burial Moon Cavern.
