Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2048: Consuming the Spiritual Root

“When Daolai separated from us, an Overgod was pursuing him. The Overgod was the person who ranked first on the Overgods’ Plaque, Mo Cheng. Although I haven’t seen Mo Cheng fight, so I don’t know how powerful he is, he is the supreme Overgod who ranks first after all. Daolai probably isn’t his opponent. Your highness, to ensure that the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways does not get taken away, we should continue to speed up,” said Yun Lianqing. His pale face was filled with deep bitterness and helplessness.

Aside from him, all the Godkings from the Yun family in the group also displayed great unwillingness and dejection.

They had discovered the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways first, but when they harvested it, other Godkings discovered it. The Godkings were only in a small group. Although they were not as powerful as the other party, they were not much weaker either.

As a result, the sixteen Godkings of the Yun family engaged in a battle to the death against their opponents to protect the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways.

Their Yun family had paid a heavy price in the battle. It cost them the lives of six Godkings.

However, as the battle erupted, the disturbance they caused attracted even more Godkings.

As a result, the Godkings of the Yun family gave the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways to Yun Daolai in order to keep it. He got him to leave the Neptunean Divine Palace immediately with the root, while the rest of them remained behind to stop their opponents.

The Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways was just too important to their Yun family. It was an important treasure that could make their Yun family become a peak clan in the Sky Empire.

In order to protect the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, the Godkings of the Yun family were all ready to offer up their lives for the future of their clan.

However, they had never expected that Yun Daolai would face the pursuit of an Overgod as soon as he left. Originally, they did not treat the Overgod with any importance, but when he uttered ‘I, Mo Cheng, shall be taking this Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways,’ they learnt of his identity.

Although they wanted to help, they were unable to break free from their battle until the fifth prince’s group arrived in the end.

They understood that an injured Yun Daolai would be unable to escape from the Neptunean Divine Palace while the supreme Overgod who ranked first on the Overgods’ Plaque hunted him down. Not only would they lose the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, but they might even lose Yun Daolai’s life as well.

As a result, they could only tell the fifth prince of the Sky Empire about the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, as they had run out of options. They would assist the fifth prince in obtaining the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways.

It was not like their Yun family was going to be able to keep the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways. They would much rather offer it up to the fifth prince instead of having others take it.

This was because their Yun family was located in the Sky Empire. If they used this opportunity to closen their ties with the fifth prince, the status of their clan would rise up once the fifth prince ascended to the throne.

“Beside Mo Cheng is a supreme Godking from the Godkings’ Throne. His name is Cang Ying, ranked nine hundred and fiftieth on the Godkings’ Throne. It’s said that he can survive three strikes from a regular Infinite Prime,” a middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance said sternly from beside the fifth prince.

“Do we have the people to block Cang Ying?” The fifth prince frowned.

The middle-aged man mulled over it. He said, “If I work with the two siblings, Bai Qi and Bai He, we should be able to block Cang Ying.”

The fifth prince was secretly surprised. He said in a gruff voice, “This Cang Ying ranks towards the bottom of the Godkings’ Throne, yet he still requires mister Shu and the siblings to stop him. Is this Cang Ying really that powerful? Mister Shu, you’re also a Godking who has made it onto the Godkings’ Throne.”

The middle-aged man said solemnly, “Although I’ve made it onto the Godkings’ Throne, I’ve failed to enter the rankings, so I’m technically no supreme Godking of the Godkings’ Throne. As for this Cang Ying, not only did he made the rankings, but he even surpassed fifty people on the Godkings’ Throne. His strength cannot be underestimated.”

“Alright. Once we meet Cang Ying, we’ll have mister Shu and the siblings stop him. Let’s speed up,” the fifth prince said deeply as his blood boiled. Once he obtained the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, his future would be bright. He would definitely ascend to the position of emperor, and he might even become an ancestral emperor.

“Hehe, don’t worry, your highness. The two of us will properly try the expert on the Godkings’ Throne,” a big bald man chuckled behind the fifth prince. He was Bai Qi.

Next to him was a black-clothed woman who possessed a sense of wildness. She seemed to be in her thirties, and she was Bai Qi’s younger sister, Bai He.

The two siblings were peak Godkings. Although they were not supreme Godkings on the Godkings’ Throne, the two of them believed they could take on a supreme Godking if they worked together.

Yun Weifeng and the others were unable to say anything. Although their Yun family also possessed late Godkings, mister Shu and the siblings were on a completely different level.

At an identical cultivation level, the cultivation method practised, battle skill grasped, and laws comprehended could differ, so battle prowess would be at different levels as well.

There were even some cultivators who possessed special bloodlines, allowing them to erupt with supreme battle prowess through the power of their bloodlines alone.

Compared to these people, the Godkings of the Yun family could only be considered as rather ordinary.

The barrier of energy in the Divine Medicinal Garden distorted heavily. More and more people attacked the barrier, causing its energy consumption to become extremely rapid.

“Quit hiding your trump cards. Everyone, use battle skills and unleash your full strength,” someone called out in the garden before immediately casting a powerful Truth Tier Battle Skill.

Immediately, the barrier of energy shook more and more. A huge crack had even appeared, where the violent energy gushed in through there, causing havoc inside. It turned into a storm, causing Yun Xin to stagger.

Master Chanlong’s face changed just as he was casting down another formation. Immediately, he stopped and devoted himself to stabilising the barrier.

However, the Godkings outside struck out with their full strength. Even with the support of abundant energy, even with master Chanlong personally keeping it stable, the barrier still shook violently. Cracks appeared as it seemed like it was about to shatter from the burden.

The supreme grade divine crystals placed in the crucial point of the formation dulled at a visible pace as well.

“Oh no, we can’t last much longer,” master Chanlong growled sternly.

Kai Ya stopped healing and stood up. She was solemn.

Jian Chen stared at the Space Ring in his hand. After hesitating slightly, he suddenly took out the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways and raised it high up. He called out, “Everyone, you’re all fighting for the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways. It’s in my hands right now.”

Jian Chen’s voice rang out loudly, startling all the people in the garden. They all focused their attention on the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways as burning desire appeared. For a moment, they all stopped attacking the barrier of energy.

The Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways was only three inches long, and it seemed like the root of some plant. It seemed like nothing special, except for the fact that the truths of the world revolved around it with the power of the universe.

“Hand over the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways!”

Many Godkings called out in the garden as they all stared at the root.

Jian Chen sneered. He held the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways in one hand and forced open Yun Xin’s mouth with the other. Before she could agree, he suddenly shoved it into her mouth.

“Mmmfmmm,” Yun Xin was startled, and she actually became slightly flustered at that moment. She wanted to say something, but all she could produce were those muffled sounds. She was unable to resist at all.

“God dammit, stop!”

“Stop! If you destroy the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, I’ll chase you to the ends of the world!”

“Bastard, I will never spare you if you do that!”

All the Godkings in the garden were furious. Their eyes all reddened as they attacked the barrier desperately. Many of them looked at Jian Chen with resentment and heavy killing intent.

Yun Xin had consumed the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways. When she realised just what she had eaten, Yun Xin was completely stunned. She just stood there blankly.

“Now that the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways is gone, are you still going to fight for it?” Jian Chen stared at the people outside coldly as a heavy killing intent radiated from him. He said, “If you stop right now, I can forget about what you did in the past. But if you insist on continuing to attack us, I will definitely kill you.”

“You don’t need to doubt whether I have the strength to do that or not. I’ve killed plenty of Godkings when I was an Overgod, let alone now that I’ve become a Godking,” Jian Chen said coldly.
