Chaotic Sword God

Afterwards, Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er continued heading out and arrived in the outskirts where only Godhood Xuanhuang beasts were active, finding a secretive location.

“Without Gusta’s fleshly core, each breakthrough of the Chaotic Body is becoming more and more difficult.” Sitting down on the ground, Jian Chen slowly opened the jade box with the Divine Fruit of Sky Purification.

Immediately, the Divine Fruit of Sky Purification gave off a dazzling glow, enveloping him completely.

Without any hesitation, Jian Chen ate the Divine Fruit of Sky Purification in a single gulp. Immediately, a layer of dazzling light covered him.

Shangguan Mu’er remained nearby, watching over Jian Chen. She constantly observed the activity in the surroundings, just in case any Xuanhuang beasts came to disturb him.

Jian Chen’s cultivation state only continued for a few days before coming to an end. During that time, not only did he completely digest and absorb the surging energy from the Divine Fruit of Sky Purification, but he even used up some of the heavenly resources that he and Shangguan Mu’er had gathered.

Of course, Jian Chen kept the Fruit of Nurturing Ways that he had saved for Shangguan Mu’er stored away carefully.

Shangguan Mu’er paid constant attention to Jian Chen’s situation, so as soon as he opened his eyes, she appeared before him and asked in concern, “How is it, Jian Chen?”

Jian Chen shook his head and sighed softly. “The energy that my Chaotic Body requires to go from the fifteenth layer to the sixteenth layer is even greater than I imagined it to be. Even though the energy inside the Divine Fruit of Sky Purification is extremely terrifying, just a single one is still nowhere near enough.”

“Around how many more Divine Fruits of Sky Purification of a similar quality do you need?” Shangguan Mu’er asked.

Jian Chen estimated inside and said, “I probably still need another four.”

“Another four? There are three Divine Fruits of Sky Purification on the small island with several dozen other heavenly resources. Together, that should be more than enough to match a Divine Fruit of Sky Purification. If we can obtain everything on the small island, then there won’t be any issues regarding your breakthrough,” Shangguan Mu’er furrowed her brows. Clearly, she also understood that making it onto the small island was anything but easy.

The small island was far too extraordinary.

Suddenly, Jian Chen stood up and left, making his way directly towards the depths.

Not long after, a devastating battle erupted in the distance. With the furious roars of a Xuanhuang beast, the ground shook violently.

When Shangguan Mu’er made it to where the battle had erupted, she discovered that Jian Chen had already killed a Xuanhuang beast. Under the destruction of the residual energy, the region had been reduced to a mess.

Afterwards, Jian Chen carried the Xuanhuang beast’s corpse towards the lake.

“Jian Chen, what are you doing?” Shangguan Mu’er followed beside Jian Chen. Her expression changed with uncertainty.

“I’ll lure out the Xuanhuang beast hiding on the small island and see just how powerful it is, as well as where it is hiding. Only then can we come up with a way to deal with it,” Jian Chen said.

“No, that’s too dangerous. The Xuanhuang Microcosm is not the Saints’ World after all. Once you attract the attention of a Xuanhuang beast that’s far more powerful than you, you’ll struggle to escape.” Shangguan Mu’er gritted her teeth and blocked Jian Chen’s path. She said, “Jian Chen, you should let me do it instead.”

“Mu’er, stop messing around. This is not a joke.” Jian Chen’s voice sank slightly. If it were not for his confidence that came with fusing the swords, he would never direct his attention towards the small island.

But now, he could fuse the swords over twenty times without any worry. As a result, it gave him the courage to try even if he was up against a Grand Prime.

Of course, there was another important reason. He desperately needed the Xuanhuang spiritual fluid.

Having spent several days in the Xuanhuang Microcosm, Jian Chen obviously understood the Xuanhuang spiritual fluid that appeared here would mostly only appear in small quantities. If he were to collect it slowly, who knew how long it would take before he gathered enough.

Even by the end of his journey in the Xuanhuang Microcosm, he still might not have gathered enough Xuanhuang spiritual fluid. That would without a doubt turn the whole trip pointless.

With an entire lake full of Xuanhuang spiritual fluid right before him, he obviously refused to pass on it.

“I’m not joking with you. Jian Chen, you are stronger than me in terms of cultivation, as I can’t keep up with you in terms of flight speed. However, when it comes to fleeing ability, you’re nowhere close to me at least inside the Xuanhuang Microcosm.”

“You can’t forget that I am the Third Ancestor’s successor. All of the secret techniques I have grasped come from a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. When I’m truly in life-threatening danger, I can pay a certain price to use these fleeing secret techniques. Those Xuanhuang beasts without any intelligence will never be able to stop me,” Shangguan Mu’er said with absolute confidence.

Hearing that, Jian Chen’s eyes flickered. He hesitated.

“How great of a price do you have to pay?” After a moment of silence, Jian Chen asked.

“It should be around the same as the backlash you have to endure when you fuse the swords. However, don’t you have a lot of Twin-headed Lotuses on you? If you give me a Twin-headed Lotus, I can recover very quickly,” said Shangguan Mu’er.

After careful consideration, Jian Chen ended up agreeing to Shangguan Mu’er’s suggestion, as he trusted the Third Ancestor’s secret techniques.

With such profound and powerful secret techniques in her arsenal, perhaps Shangguan Mu’er was truly better at staying alive in the Xuanhuang Microcosm than him.

However, the fleeing secret technique was just like his fusion of the twin swords. They both came at an extremely great cost. They were trump cards that could not be used without good reason.

Afterwards, Jian Chen found a secretive location to hide away carefully, cautiously observing the activity on the island from far away.

Shangguan Mu’er hovered in the air using the power of her cultivation, holding the corpse of an Infinite Prime Xuanhuang beast in her hand.

Suddenly, the power of her cultivation erupted from her body. Using her full strength, she tossed the corpse of the Xuanhuang beast towards the distant island.

Immediately, a layer of energy enveloped the corpse of the Xuanhuang beast. It sailed through the air along a parabolic trajectory and hurled towards the centre of the island extremely quickly.

Jian Chen’s gaze became fixated on the corpse of the Xuanhuang beast as well. He held his breath as his heart sat in his throat.

However, before the corpse of the Xuanhuang beast could even approach the island, something happened right as it entered the vicinity of the lake.

The surface of the lake that was originally still abruptly exploded. Within the great waves, a colossal head burst out from the water, appearing high in the air instantly.

The head was extremely large, shaped like a dragon and several hundred metres across. Further down its head, there was a large, thick neck. Only a small portion of it was exposed. Even more of its body was hidden beneath the lake water.

“It’s not a dragon. It’s a turtle. It’s a dragon turtle!” Jian Chen recognised it immediately. His face suddenly changed as he looked towards the small island behind it.

At this very moment, the entire island shook slightly. All of the heavenly resources growing on there swayed gently.

That was no island. That was clearly the dragon turtle’s back!

“Sure enough, it really is a Grand Prime Xuanhuang beast, and it’s not just at the First Heavenly Layer or the Second Heavenly Layer, but the Third Heavenly Layer!” Even Jian Chen’s heart sank.

The owner of this place was far more powerful than he had imagined it to be.
