Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3974: The Seven Souls Submit

“Thankfully, we had you around, Origin Composition Daemon Exalt, or we’d be in danger this time…”

“If it weren’t for the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt, it’s true that we would struggle to deal with our current situation given our conditions. Who would have thought that a mere ant from back then would actually grow to such heights while we were asleep…”

The souls all smiled happily, but before they could celebrate properly, a strange presence suddenly appeared. Shortly afterwards, a different power of the soul seemed to emerge from the sea of consciousness.

When this power of the soul appeared, Jian Chen’s collapsing Ways of Curses stabilised miraculously. That was not all either. Even the fragments of ways that scattered in his sea of consciousness reassembled together, immediately breaking free from the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt’s influence and merging back into Jian Chen’s soul.

“W-what’s going on? My Shared Fate technique has actually failed? Impossible, this is impossible…” In the next moment, the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt cried out in shock. He was filled with disbelief.

His cry also put the six other experts who had just relaxed on edge. Their minds tensed up.

“Origin Composition Daemon Exalt, is your innate ability reliable or not?” one of the souls asked rather nervously. This had to do with their fates. They could not allow any careless mistakes.

The Origin Composition Daemon Exalt was dazed. He said blankly, “I’m very feeble right now, nowhere close to my peak condition, but the Shared Fate technique is not affected. After all, the technique only cares about the level of my soul. I’m using it on someone weaker than me as well. Given the level of my soul, once I use this technique, even Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes won’t be able to resist it. Logically speaking, there should be no possibility of failure against a Chaotic Prime like him.”

Reaching there, the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt suddenly shuddered. His eyes rapidly narrowed as if he had been greatly frightened. He cried out hysterically, “W-what is this? Argh, dammit. This is actually Chaotic Force. From the presence, it doesn’t even seem to be false Chaotic Force. How can a power like this appear here?”

“No wonder, no wonder my Shared Fate technique would fail. His soul actually possesses a power like Chaotic Force. This has already surpassed the limits of the Shared Fate technique.”

“This kid actually has a wisp of Chaotic Force merged into his soul? Impossible, this is impossible. What kind of deviant is this? Chaotic Force is such a brutal and terrifying power, so how can it be merged into someone’s soul? This completely goes against regular logic…”

The Origin Composition Daemon Exalt was not the only one frightened. At this moment, the six other experts also discovered the existence of the Chaotic Force. They were all shocked, also filled with disbelief.

Seeing how startled the seven souls were, Jian Chen could not help but find it hilarious. “Looks like your innate ability called the Shared Fate technique isn’t enough to tie your fate with mine.” As he said that, Jian Chen’s chaotic soul appeared before the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt. Shortly afterwards, the fragments of ways absorbed by the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt were stripped from his body, returning to Jian Chen’s soul.

Immediately, Jian Chen’s Laws of Curses recovered. All of the comprehension that had been stripped from him against his will returned.

This was his comprehension in the first place. Moreover, they were inside his sea of consciousness. It obviously was not too difficult for him to reclaim his own power.

In another environment, it would not be this easy to recover his ways if they had been stripped from him.

With the fragments of ways taken from him, the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt became more and more feeble. In the end, he lost all of the power he had absorbed from Jian Chen; all of it was reclaimed entirely.

“The Shared Fate technique is useless on me. What else are you capable of? Use it all.” Jian Chen looked at the seven souls calmly.

The souls had yet to recover from their shock. They remained silent for a very long time before one of them finally said with mixed feelings, “Little brother, we admit that we underestimated you back then, and we hid some details from you. However, the seven of us still gave you our golden cores of laws when you were so weak. We’ve provided you with a certain amount of assistance on your path of cultivation. None of us want you as an enemy, so could you let us leave?”

“You’re shameless enough to mention the golden cores of laws?” Jian Chen’s voice immediately turned cold.

“T-then what do you want us to do?” The souls were rather guilty.

“I noticed your existence right from the beginning. You should know the reason why I kept you around until now.” Jian Chen scanned the seven souls slowly. A strange light flashed through his eyes. “You can make a decision now. Submit or die!”

“You want the seven of us to all submit to a Chaotic Prime like you? Kid, do you have any idea what kind of expert the seven of us were in our former lives? I’m afraid that even if we were willing to submit to you, you won’t be able to bear the consequences,” one of the souls said angrily.

“Since you won’t submit, I’ll erase you all.” Jian Chen’s voice was filled with killing intent. As his mood shifted, a violent storm of killing intent immediately brewed in the sea of consciousness, making the expressions of the seven souls change.

They could clearly sense the change in Jian Chen’s mood in the sea of consciousness. They could also sense the actual killing intent Jian Chen directed towards them.

This definitely was not as simple as trying to scare them.

“Hold on, we can pass on all of our cultivation experience from our past lives. We can even teach you all the secret techniques and God Tier Battle Skills we had grasped. We only want to leave in peace…”

“Little brother, we’re already so feeble. There’s nothing we can do. Even if you keep us around, we’re useless, so why force us into something like this? Why don’t you just exchange for some things that are useful to you instead…”

“Little brother, don’t underestimate our legacies. During our peak conditions, even the weakest of us were Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. The strongest even rivaled Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. Our legacies are what is truly priceless…”

The souls ran out of confidence. They began to put forward extremely tempting conditions.

Unfortunately, no matter what they said, Jian Chen did not budge. He said coldly, “I’m going to ask you one last time. Are you going to submit or die?”

The seven souls could clearly sense Jian Chen’s determination in his sea of consciousness. They were immediately overcome with sorrow.

In the end, they were unwilling to accept dying here like this. They all chose to submit.

Jian Chen was not surprised by this result. If the seven experts were willing to die, they would not have played a trick like this when they initially left behind their golden core of laws. Instead, they would have been as at ease as swordmaster Yun Chi. They would have left without any longing for the living, truly vanishing from the world.
