Chaotic Sword God

Boom!

All that answered the artifact spirit was another great rumble, rocking the world and making the earth shake as if everything was about to collapse.

The attacks from outside were far too powerful, completely capable of destroying worlds. It shook up the Source of Life as well, such that even the miniature world inside the god artifact was severely affected.

At this moment, the nine experts all roused from cultivation as well. As they gazed at the shaking world, they all became stern.

The artifact spirit immediately turned towards Jian Chen in hatred. It yelled furiously, “It’s you! It’s you! It must be you! You led the experts over here! All of the trouble that the Wood Spirits face today is because of you!”

At that moment, the artifact spirit pushed all of the responsibility onto Jian Chen. As a result, the bit of goodwill that Jian Chen developed with the artifact spirit through massacring all those people of the Darkstar race immediately vanished due to being exposed to and attacked by the people of the Saints’ World.

Jian Chen frowned heavily when the artifact spirit wrongly scolded and blamed him. He immediately rebuked it, “I’ve already remained in the Wood Spirits World for centuries. If I really led them over here, they would have taken action a long time ago. Why would they have waited until now?”

“Why don’t you consider that it might be your awakening that led them over?”

“You’re still trying to deny everything! It’s you! It’s you! You’re the one who led them over!” The artifact spirit was exasperated. Its eyes had turned red from panic.

Boom!

At this moment, it suffered another heavy attack, which made the entire world spiral. Their vision blurred as space distorted. The miniature world seemed to be on the brink of collapse.

As the attacks from outside grew stronger and stronger, the artifact spirit no longer bothered with Jian Chen. It immediately vanished.

With that, only Jian Chen and the nine experts of the Wood Spirits remained in the miniature world.

The nine of them all looked towards Jian Chen.

“Jian Chen, w-what exactly is happening? Tell me the truth. Did you draw the experts outside over here?” the Jade Heaven Ruler asked. Her eyes shone with mixed emotions. She was both worried and afraid.

Jian Chen looked at the Jade Heaven Ruler calmly and asked, “You don’t trust me?”

“I-I-” The Jade Heaven Ruler was tongue-tied, becoming momentarily uncertain. She had lived for countless years and had been a ruler for a very long time, ruling over the world. What hadn’t she seen? She understood the vile nature of people a long time ago. Single-sided stories could not be taken as the truth, as the truth was often much more brutal than that.

Yet the reality before her as well as the spirit of the ancestral artifact’s blame on Jian Chen clearly made the Jade Heaven Ruler’s trust in him waver.

The Heaven Fighting Ruler and the seven new Chaotic Primes all looked at Jian Chen in suspicion. There was even a hint of coldness in the eyes of some of them.

Jian Chen sighed inside when he sensed this, but he was not particularly affected by it. He could not be bothered explaining for himself either, so he simply shut his eyes and sat down on the spot.

They were all trapped here. Without the artifact spirit’s permission, none of them could leave. They could only wait.

The space outside the Wood Spirits World had already turned to darkness. It had been completely destroyed.

It was not only the space there. Even the entire lower world that the Wood Spirits World occupied had been completely destroyed by the destructive power.

A burly, middle-aged man equipped with armour stood in the centre of the black storm. He wielded a spear and his gaze was extremely cold, giving off a terrifyingly powerful presence.

He was the Martial God!

The Martial God clan was a peak organisation that had once produced a sovereign. Even though the sovereign perished afterwards, the Martial God clan remained among the ranks of archaean clans for a very long time.

Despite having declined and losing the title of archaean clan a long time ago, they still could not be underestimated.

Those who earned the title of Martial God were all the strongest ancestors of the Martial God clan that had obtained the sovereign’s legacy.

Swish!

At this moment, the spear in the Martial God’s hand shot out into the space before it again with a devastating storm of energy, producing a startling rumble.

A formation appeared where his spear stopped. It possessed astonishing defences, blocking the Martial God’s attacks again and again.

However, the Martial God’s attacks were far too powerful, and the Divine Spear of World Destruction in his hands was a sovereign god artifact too. Even though his strength was not enough to unleash its full power, he was still stronger than all experts of the same level.

As a result, whenever the formation blocked an attack, its energy depleted at an extremely terrifying rate. It could not last for very long at all.

At the same time, laws flickered above the Martial God’s head, turning into scarlet bolts of lightning that rained down on his head like a cloud.

That was the punishment of the ways. It was an execution from the laws.

As the Martial God launched his attacks freely in the lower world, not only did he destroy the entire world, but he also killed all the living creatures in this world.

Such a heinous act would obviously lead to an execution from the laws of the lower space.

However, the Martial God completely ignored the punishment of the ways from the lower world. Dressed in armour, he was mighty and valiant, like an undefeatable god of war.

His vital energy rushed into the air, turning into a blood-red dragon that shot into the sea of lightning.

Boom!

With a startling rumble in the sea of lightning, the punishment of ways from the lower world directly dissipated under the Martial God’s attacks.

He was simply too powerful. He was immune to all the laws of the lower world. The laws of the lower world were completely powerless against him.

At this moment, a few more powerful presences appeared in the space there.

Several figures appeared before the Martial God, each giving off a tremendous and mighty presence. Even though it was not as great as his, it was not far off either.

A total of five people arrived.

They were the Poisonous Flame Ancestor of the Fire Fiend sect, the greatest organisation on the Skyfire Plane.

The Ocean Convergence Elder of the Myriad Rivers sect, the third greatest organisation on the Star Brilliance Plane.

As well as the Way Wielding clan that used to be an archaean clan.

The Poisonous Flame Ancestor and the Ocean Convergence Elder were both Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Primes!

Three people arrived from the Way Wielding clan, one at the Seventh Heavenly Layer and the other two at the Sixth Heavenly Layer!

“Martial God!”

The expressions of the five experts from the three peak organisations changed slightly, gradually becoming stern.

In particular, when they saw the Divine Spear of World Destruction in the Martial God’s hands, a deep sense of fear appeared in the depths of their eyes.

That was a sovereign god artifact after all!

The Martial God stopped his attacks and glanced past the five of them. He directly ignored the Poisonous Flame Ancestor and the Ocean Convergence Elder. Only when he saw the experts from the Way Wielding clan did he face them properly.

The Way Wielding clan was like the Martial God clan. They were both former archaean clans.

Both clans had not declined because of a lack of a sovereign god artifact, but because they were missing a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime!

“First brother, the Martial God is not an easy opponent.”

“The Martial God might also be at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, but he has a Grand Exalt’s legacy and a peak god artifact. He’s so powerful that he’s no weaker than an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. Even some regular Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes aren’t his opponent. Even against Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes, he can still put up a fight.”

The two Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes of the Way Wielding clan communicated sternly.

They also did not take the Poisonous Flame Ancestor and the Ocean Convergence Elder seriously. As remnant organisations of Grand Exalts, they all possessed powerful legacies, standing above their peers.

“Is our Way Wielding clan supposed to fear the Martial God just because he’s a difficult opponent?” the Seventh Heavenly Layer expert from the Way Wielding clan replied indifferently, without any fear.

“The Source of Life is mine! Move aside!” the Martial God said as he stared at them coldly.

“The Source of Life does not have a master. Anyone is free to take it for themselves. Our Way Wielding clan won’t be giving up on it,” the greatest expert of the Way Wielding clan said. As he said that, a stone plate immediately appeared in his hand. The word “Way” was engraved on there.

The Martial God immediately looked at the stone plate and became stern.

“The Source of Life will obviously go to the one who’s destined to possess it. I don’t think anyone would want to give up on a sovereign god artifact,” said the Ocean Convergence Elder from the Star Brilliance Plane amicably while smiling faintly.

“You want to contend for the Source of Life, just by the likes of you?” The Martial God’s eyes were cold. He pointed the Divine Spear of World Destruction towards the Ocean Convergence Elder and the terrifying pressure of a sovereign god artifact immediately enveloped him.

The Ocean Convergence Elder immediately became stern, like he was facing a great enemy, but he did not back down at all. He said coldly, “Martial God, since the Source of Life was discovered by us, we all can contend for it. If you even want to eliminate this slight chance, then I’ll be forced to tell the Nine Brilliance Star Lord about the Source of Life. I’m sure the Nine Brilliance Star Lord will definitely take interest in this.”

“After all, the Source of Life is different from other peak god artifacts.”

The Poisonous Flame Elder snickered. “Hehehehe, if the Nine Brilliance Star Lord really comes here, we’ll probably all be forced to just stand by and watch on.”

As soon as they mentioned the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, both the Way Wielding clan and the Martial God narrowed their eyes in great fear.

After all, that was a supreme expert that they could not defeat even if everyone here worked together!

As a renowned figure of the Star Brilliance Plane, the Ocean Convergence Elder was definitely capable of directly contacting the Nine Brilliance Star Lord.

“Alright. The Source of Life will go to the one who’s more capable. As for who gets it in the end, it’ll depend on your luck.” In the end, the Martial God still ended up compromising. He did not dare to act too harshly against the others, just in case the Ocean Convergence Elder really contacted the Nine Brilliance Star Lord out of desperation.

The ancestor of the Way Wielding clan chuckled. He looked towards the Ocean Convergence Elder and the Poisonous Flame Ancestor. “You better not contact the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. There’s only a single Source of Life, so only one person will be leaving with it today. If it ends up with us, our Way Wielding clan promises to give the three of you a great compensation. It won’t be as great as the Source of Life, but I’m certain we won’t leave you dissatisfied given the heritage of our Way Wielding clan.”

The Martial God glanced coldly at the people from the Way Wielding clan and also said, “My Martial God clan will do the same. If I end up with the Source of Life, my Martial God clan will also compensate you.”

He continued, “However, the Source of Life is surrounded by a powerful formation. It’s extremely likely that the formation was cast down by a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. The formation is no longer as powerful as it once was after all these years, but getting through it will still take quite the effort. Let’s work together and breach the formation.”
