Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2394: Absorbing the Essence Blood

Jian Chen sat with his legs crossed within the cabin. A fist-sized jade bottle was placed beside him. It contained Gusta’s essence blood.

Jian Chen had already removed a droplet of essence blood from the jade bottle. The pea-sized, shining droplet of essence blood hovered before Jian Chen quietly.

The droplet of essence blood contained extremely terrifying energy. If it erupted, it would unleash devastating might enough to destroy a whole region of space.

However, at this moment, all of the energy within the essence blood was concealed, without giving out any ripples at all. Otherwise, the formation Jian Chen cast down would have never been able to conceal something so powerful.

Currently, the energy within the droplet of essence blood was being absorbed by Jian Chen bit by bit. After he refined the energy, it turned into new Chaotic Force and filled up his chaotic neidan.

As the energy within the essence blood rapidly drained away, Jian Chen’s chaotic neidan gradually swelled up.

“The droplet of essence blood contains the power of curses. This power was an arrangement set up by the expert who comprehended the Laws of Curses among the eight experts, but I’ve inherited his golden core of laws, so the laws don’t affect me,” thought Jian Chen.

His comprehension of the Laws of Curses had already reached Godking, so he had discovered the power of curses within the essence blood long ago. As he absorbed the essence blood, the power of curses would seep into his body along with it before being absorbed by one of the golden cores of laws in his soul.

As a result, the power of curses was useless against him.

“This curse will spread with the power of the bloodline. Using Gusta’s bloodline as a medium, it will cross through time and space and directly cast itself on all Ancient Great Apes. I just wonder if the Ancient Great Apes are affected or not.” Jian Chen opened his eyes and looked towards the cabin door. His gaze seemed to be able to pierce it, allowing him to see the vast space outside.

“Whatever. Let’s cultivate first. My priority right now is to reach the fourteenth layer of the Chaotic Body.” Jian Chen dismissed his thoughts and began to focus on cultivating.

In the Heaven-splitting clan on the Nine Clouds Plane, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor who only seemed to be in his thirties stood in white robes as an invisible presence radiated from him. It interfered with the laws and order there at all times. As a result, the region was completely under his control.

It felt like he was the supreme ruler of that region.

As one of the most powerful experts below Grand Exalts and an existence that was incredibly close to becoming the heavenly ways themselves, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor could influence a small region of space even though he could not affect the laws and order of an entire world. He was extremely powerful.

A Space Ring hovered before the Heaven-splitting Ancestor quietly. Nearby, Tu San stood politely with his head lowered.

Bang!

At this moment, the Space Ring exploded loudly. Immediately, pieces of flesh with many droplets of golden blood appeared out of nowhere.

One of the pieces was colossal. It was the size of a mountain. The thick arm it was attached to reached thousands of metres long.

With so many body fragments, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s courtyard was no longer big enough to hold it all.

However, at this moment, a powerful will appeared. It influenced the order and laws in the area, immediately shrinking the pieces to an ordinary man’s size.

Even the huge arm had shrunk to a little over a metre in length.

The Heaven-splitting Ancestor stared at the blood and flesh calmly and said, “There’s the power of curses within Gusta’s blood. This is a curse of a bloodline. All members of the Ancient Great Apes won’t be able to avoid its influence no matter how distant they are.”

“However, it’s completely unneeded. The person who cast it down had no idea that the Ancient Great Apes had basically gone extinct after their war with the Spiritsages. Their two remaining dark gold ape kings were slain by the Wind Venerable of the Spiritsages as well. It has been a very long time since an Ancient Great Ape has appeared in the Saints’ World. Perhaps their species have completely vanished off the face of the world.”

“Master, how should we deal with the flesh and blood?” Tu San asked politely. He felt uneasy. After all, this matter was related to the Bloodtear Grand Exalt.

“Leave Gusta’s blood and flesh here for now. Let’s see the Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s response first,” the Heaven-splitting Ancestor said slowly. He looked at the vast outer space, and his eyes deepened. “I have always felt that there was something strange, something off with this matter, as the Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s reaction was rather abnormal.”

“Gusta’s body has been nourished on the Desolate Plane for countless years now. Over such a long period of time, no one has been able to sense this. The two other dark gold ape kings of the Ancient Great Apes were clearly incapable of this. They were powerful, but they were only powerful in battle. In terms of techniques and abilities, they were nowhere close to other experts. As a result, it’s definitely the Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s handiwork.”

“Since Gusta’s body has caught the Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s eye, these remains definitely would not have ended up with us. The Bloodtear Grand Exalt would have taken it back. With a Grand Exalt’s abilities, rebuilding Gusta’s shattered body is a piece of cake, but the Bloodtear Grand Exalt did not retrieve the remains.”

“The Bloodtear Grand Exalt treats Gusta’s body with importance, yet he doesn’t care about it, allowing us to fight over it. There’s something strange about that...”

“The final point is Jian Chen. He was the one behind the shattering of Gusta’s body, so logically speaking, the Bloodtear Grand Exalt should not have spared him. However, the Bloodtear Grand Exalt did not take a single person away from the Desolate Plane, nor did he kill anyone. He left very suddenly; this is indeed difficult to understand.”

The laws interwove within the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s eyes. He tried peering into the matter. “I always felt like this matter isn’t as simple as it seems. There seems to be some unknown secret hidden within it.”

“Master, then about Jian Chen...” Tu San asked carefully.

The Heaven-splitting Ancestor fell into a moment of thought and replied, “After what happened with the Bloodtear Grand Exalt, I feel like Jian Chen is even more complicated than I imagined him to be. There’s no need for you to do anything more. Just wait for Jian Chen to appear again, and I’ll pay him a personal visit. I’m very curious about the secrets he hides, where even I can’t peer into any matters about him.”

“And Gusta’s fleshly core might be with Jian Chen. The fleshly core is the most valuable item from Gusta’s body...”

With that, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor vanished. When he reappeared, he was inside the Neptunean Divine Palace.

The defences of the Neptunean Divine Palace were completely useless to the Heaven-splitting Ancestor. They were unable to stop him at all.

“Senior, has brother Jian Chen come?”

Before long, Zi Yun and Xiao Man rushed over after receiving a notice from the artifact spirit. As soon as she saw the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, Xiao Man asked eagerly and looked around for traces of Jian Chen.

Although Zi Yun said nothing, the light in her eyes did flicker. They were filled with hope.

“Jian Chen is very safe. He doesn’t need my protection. I’ve come this time to ask you one more time about whether you’ve considered my previous suggestion. Are you willing to exchange the Pyrnite Ore with me?”
