Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3381: Laws of Life and Death

The flow of time in the space of tests the Source of Life created was completely different. Less than two hours had passed in the outside world, but a decade had already passed in there.

At this moment, rumbles rang out in the space of tests endlessly as powerful storms of energy erupted.

The Jade Heaven Ruler was currently locked in battle against the other Chaotic Primes. The situation was one against eight.

The Jade Heaven Ruler fought against the Heaven Fighting Ruler and the seven new rulers alone.

They all used their full strength and unleashed God Tier Battle Skills again and again. None of them held back, like they were fighting for their lives.

Apart from the Jade Heaven Ruler, the eight other rulers were all injured and haggard, clearly struggling against her.

After fighting for several hours, the new rulers all withdrew from the battle due to being too heavily injured.

In the end, the Jade Heaven Ruler emerged triumphant, defeating the eight of them alone.

“Do you still want to continue with the artifact spirit’s test of battle prowess?” The Jade Heaven Ruler hovered in the air and shone with dazzling green light, looking down at the eight of them from above.

“No more, no more. Jade Heaven, I admit my defeat,” the Heaven Fighting Ruler sat on the ground and said weakly.

“We also accept our defeats,” the seven remaining rulers all said as well. None of them were unscathed.

In this final test of battle prowess, all of them had their ancestral imprints sealed. They could not even use god artifacts, completely relying on their true strength to fight. They could not use any foreign objects, which achieved true fairness.

And in the end, the Jade Heaven Ruler obviously achieved a flawless victory with her cultivation as a Third Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime.

At this moment, the world seemed to respond. A jade talisman slowly arrived before the Jade Heaven Ruler with dazzling light.

The jade talisman was a representation of victory. Only one would appear with each test!

But at this moment, another seven jade talismans slowly appeared from the Jade Heaven Ruler, gathering with the eighth jade talisman in the air. They all hovered above her.

Gazing at the eight shining jade talismans, the expressions of the eight experts all became mixed.

The Source of Life had set up a total of eight tests. They did not just test their individual battle prowess, but their talent, comprehension, mentality, how they handled danger, and so on.

These tests could not be passed through strength alone. The tests regarding talent, comprehension, and so on even had nothing to do with strength.

Yet in the end, the Jade Heaven Ruler came first in all of them!

The eight other experts were truly convinced of their defeat with the artifact spirit’s tests.

Suddenly, the space of tests in the Source of Life shattered and the nine experts in there were taken away by the Source of Life’s power.

However, as soon they left the space of tests, they heard an extremely oppressive sound of pain.

In the distant sky, the space had turned black as the colossal figure of a spear pierced the world, extending into here through all the obstructions and pointing towards the artifact spirit of the Source of Life with startling pressure.

Between the artifact spirit and the spear was a dishevelled figure, blocking the spear with his puny body and enduring the devastating damage.

“Jian Chen!”

“It’s the Peace Ruler!”

The experts of the Wood Spirits immediately recognised the identity of the figure, which made them shiver inside. The Jade Heaven Ruler felt her heart suddenly tighten, aching painfully.

All of them could see that Jian Chen was currently in intense agony. His body was being destroyed again and again by the figure of the spear.

The Source of Life was using its unrivalled healing ability to help Jian Chen recover again and again.

Right now, Jian Chen was truly better off dead than alive. He clearly faced devastating damage and was in tremendous pain, yet he remained alive.

This hellish torture made the nine experts shiver just from the slightest sight of it.

This process lasted for an entire half a minute before the figure of the spear finally dissipated.

Jian Chen hovered in the air weakly, enveloped in the dense essence of life. His injuries rapidly closed up.

“Kid, you’re very capable. You actually managed to comprehend the Laws of Life while I was healing you.” The artifact spirit stood behind him with its arms crossed. It could tell with a single glance that Jian Chen’s Laws of Life had already climbed from the realm of Deity to the realm of God now.

Even though the God realm was no different from an ant in its eyes, comprehending the laws under such circumstances and doing it so quickly was truly unheard of, even to it.

Jian Chen remained silent as he was enveloped in the life essence. His eyes were firmly shut while his breathing was heavy. His face was pale.

But at this moment, his presence suddenly changed and a wondrous law silently spread out around him.

“Hmm?” The artifact spirit widened its eyes, becoming extremely shocked. “The Laws of Life and Death! This is the Laws of Life and Death! Y-y-you’ve actually comprehended the Laws of Life and Death so easily?”

“The Laws of Life and Death are different from other laws. That’s the law that’s the hardest to comprehend. It requires comprehending the truth behind life and death while teetering between life and death. The difficulty is beyond anything imaginable.”

“I didn’t expect you to comprehend the Laws of Life and Death while I was contending against that shitty spear. This is just… unbelievable.”

The artifact spirit was amazed, looking at Jian Chen like he was a monster.

In this intense agony, not only did he increase his Laws of Life, but he even managed to comprehend the Laws of Life and Death. Just how great was his talent and willpower to be able to do something like that?

“Unfortunately, you’re still from another race after all.” The artifact spirit shook its head with a gentle sigh, feeling great pity. Then it turned its attention away from Jian Chen and focused on the Jade Heaven Ruler in disdain.

“With your strength and talent, you originally would not have possessed the right to become my master, but given the circumstances today, you’re in luck for the sake of the Wood Spirits.”

However, shortly after saying that, the sky split open again and the will from the Divine Spear of World Destruction invaded again.

“Shitty spear, you can’t harm me, so won’t you just give up?” The artifact spirit pouted and sent Jian Chen over to block it again with a wave of its hand.

But it was different this time. When the artifact spirit tried to use Jian Chen as a shield to block the figure of the spear, a second illusionary figure suddenly appeared in the sky.

The second figure made its way around Jian Chen and shot straight towards the Source of Life.

The Source of Life’s expression changed drastically. It immediately erupted with light as surging life energy swallowed it.

However, that still was not enough to block the second figure. The Source of Life was immediately pierced all the way through.

Following the attack, the will from the Divine Spear of World Destruction dissipated, but the artifact spirit of the Source of Life had become very dim, clearly much weaker than before.
