Chaotic Sword God

The Wind Venerable let out a sigh and said with mixed emotions, “I’ve never seen the daughter of the sovereign of the Wood Spirits. As a matter of fact, the records in the clan include absolutely no news about any daughter of the sovereign of the Wood Spirits, nor do I actually know whether the sovereign of the Wood Spirits had a daughter or not.”

“The age in which the sovereign of the Wood Spirits lived was far too distant. Coupled with how the Spiritsages have experienced several upheavals in the past, resulting in the loss or destruction of many ancient records, many pieces of history have been reduced to dust. As a result, let alone our Spiritsages right now, even the Wood Spirits themselves know very little of the past history.”

“However, from my insight, I’m quite certain that the artifact spirit of the Source of Life is the sovereign of the Wood Spirits’ daughter.”

The Wind Venerable’s sighs and laments echoed gently in Jian Chen’s ear. Meanwhile, Jian Chen was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the artifact spirit who sat on the edge of the pool painfully as it watched the fluid vanish. He was unable to calm down.

The artifact spirit of the Source of Life was actually the sovereign of the Wood Spirits’ daughter?

That was simply too unbelievable to him.

He struggled to imagine exactly what had happened in the past, as well as exactly for what reason that the very daughter of a sovereign of a world would be reduced to the artifact spirit of a god artifact.

“Don’t tell me this has something to do with the Darkstar race?” Jian Chen could not help but wonder. The sovereign of the Wood Spirits grasped the Laws of Life. She was a supreme expert filled with love and benevolence, yet she ended up fighting the Darkstar race to the death, where even the sovereign of the Darkstar race perished. The miniature world where the Darkstar race resided had been sealed for eternity by the sovereign of the Wood Spirits too.

Even after the sovereign of the Wood Spirits vanished, the power she left behind in the Darkstar race still remained as the Two World Mountains, producing many Life-devouring Beasts that contended with the clansmen of the Darkstar race for generations on end.

“Exactly what kind of hatred, what kind of grievance, can make the loving sovereign of the Wood Spirits kill the sovereign of the Darkstar race and still oppress the descendants of the Darkstar race to the point of almost driving them to extinction?”

“Don’t tell me it’s actually because of her daughter? Or are there other factors at play?” Jian Chen was very intrigued, but clearly, a lot of information had been lost because far too much time had passed. As such, he struggled to find an answer.

The Wind Venerable’s voice rang out in Jian Chen’s ear again, “However, don’t divulge her identity just yet. She seems to have lost her past memories, such that she can’t recall anything in the past. Perhaps she only retains her memories as an artifact spirit.”

Jian Chen nodded slowly without saying anything.

However, he knew that some unavoidable reason had been involved in why the daughter of the sovereign of the Wood Spirits had been turned into an artifact.

Perhaps the sovereign of the Wood Spirits was giving her a form of protection through this way.

“In the past, when the Grand Exalt of the Martial Soul lineage was erased by the three thousand laws, he also killed his cultivation companion with a palm strike in the final moments, but he was not truly killing her. Instead, he was protecting her in a certain way,” Jian Chen thought. He did not know what the Grand Exalt of the Material Soul lineage had in mind back then, but his intentions were quite obvious.

“Should I tell the Wind Venerable about the giant hand condensed from the three thousand laws?” Jian Chen hesitated inside. After a moment of consideration, he decided to keep this a secret.

It was far too startling. Even a figure as powerful as the Grand Exalt of the Martial Soul lineage had been easily slain by the hand of laws. If he told the Wind Venerable this, it would only make him feel unnecessarily pressured.

Compared to that, he was better off not telling him about it.

At this moment, a powerful pressure spread out. All of the fluid in the pool filled with the Myriad Source Qi had been drained. The bottom of the pool was exposed.

In the centre of the pool, a brand-new armour sat quietly, giving off a hazy glow.

“It’s gone. It’s gone. It’s all gone. My Myriad Source Qi is all gone…” Gazing at the drained pool, the artifact spirit of the Source of Life seemed like it was about to burst into tears.

But fortunately, it still had the strand of Primeval Qi that Jian Chen promised, which brought it some comfort despite being on the edge of an emotional breakdown.

“Here! You have to keep up your promise about the Primeval Qi. Hmph.” The artifact spirit of the Source of Life waved its hand and the Divine Armour of Heavenflight resting at the bottom of the pool immediately flew over to Jian Chen. It left behind that message in a fuming manner before vanishing.

Jian Chen held the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and sensed the high quality god artifact presence it gave off. He was unable to hold back his joy.

With the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race, his ability to hide himself would truly become flawless since they complemented one another.

With a change of the landscape, the Wind Venerable had already brought Jian Chen back to the Spiritsages. The Wind Venerable said, “The Divine Armour of Heavenflight is repaired, but that’s only the surface. Its artifact spirit has already dissipated. Without the artifact spirit’s assistance, you’ll have to rely on your own energy if you want to unleash any of the armour’s powers.”

“Not only is it extremely difficult to control a high quality god artifact as a Chaotic Prime, but you can’t last for very long either. However, you cultivate Chaotic Force. Controlling a high quality god artifact using Chaotic Force will be much easier than for other Chaotic Primes.”

“At the very least, in the near future, you won’t run into problems where your energy won’t keep up.”

Jian Chen nodded in agreement. The Chaotic Body’s breakthrough depleted a large number of resources, but the Chaotic Force was also exhausted at an extremely gradual rate. Each strand of Chaotic Force was equivalent to ten or even several dozen strands of energy from an expert of the same level.

If he encountered opponents of similar strength in the future, he could completely rely on the endurance of Chaotic Force to forcefully tire them out.

“Jian Chen, you better refine the Divine Armour of Heavenflight.”

Afterwards, Jian Chen immediately began to refine the Divine Armour of Heavenflight. Originally, with his strength, it would take an extremely long time for him to refine a high quality god artifact that did not have a master, but with the Wind Venerable’s assistance, it only took him less than seven days before it was completely refined.

He completely grasped the Divine Armour of Heavenflight’s various abilities and usages too.

With a flash, the Divine Armour of Heavenflight encased Jian Chen, only leaving his eyes exposed.

In the next moment, Jian Chen used the Divine Armour of Heavenflight’s concealing function. He completely vanished as if he had disappeared from the world.

The Wind Venerable nodded with a smile. “Not bad, not bad. The armour is no longer as powerful as it was during its perfect state since it no longer has the artifact spirit’s support, but anyone beneath the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime will struggle to find you given how well you’re hidden right now. You can even fool regular Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes.”

“Now put on the mask, Jian Chen.”

As a result, Jian Chen took out the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race and put it on.

However, as soon as he put on the mask, the Wind Venerable immediately became surprised. He only drew this conclusion under his careful sensing, “The two really do complement one another. Right now, even among Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes, only a handful of them can detect you.”

“Of course, that’s given you don’t run into people like the seven Saint Monarchs or the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.”
