Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2556: The Scarlet Emperor

The beast soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor was completely powerless before the Rain Abbess. Its consciousness collapsed easily.

At that moment, the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor lost all self-consciousness. It had been completely reduced to a soul that possessed the comprehension of the Laws of Space.

The Laws of Space was an innate ability it was born with. It would not disperse with its consciousness.

After all, Spatial Insects were a special species. Every single one of them was beloved by space, possessing a natural control over space. They had the ability to move through space as they wished.

Afterwards, the Rain Abbess brought her slender finger to Jian Chen’s forehead. The beast soul condensed on her fingertip turned into a mist and disappeared into his head.

The soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor had entered Jian Chen’s soul under the Rain Abbess’ control.

“The fragments of the Laws of Space are hidden within the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor. Logically speaking, no one should be able to absorb them, but perhaps a miracle will happen with you. I’ve already bestowed the soul to you, so do not disappoint me.” The Rain Abbess’ voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head. She stared right at him, as if she was paying close attention to his soul and hoping to witness a miracle.

Taking the comprehension of laws from someone else through something close to devouring them was unprecedented in the Saints’ World.

In the Saints’ World, cultivation could be taken through various means, and souls could also be devoured through various methods and be used for growth. However, there had never been any shortcuts for the laws of the world.

Now, Jian Chen no longer wondered about why the Rain Abbess was so generous with him. He concentrated and tossed aside all other thoughts. His mind was completely placed on his sea of consciousness to focus on refining the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor.

Under the watch of a peak expert like the Rain Abbess, Jian Chen completely stopped worrying. He did not worry about any counterattacks from the soul, so he placed all of his efforts on refining the soul.

However, very soon, Jian Chen became troubled. He discovered that even though the consciousness of the Spatial Insect Emperor had collapsed, becoming extremely weak from the Rain Abbess’ strike, he still could not refine it.

Even if it were dead, it had still been a Grand Prime level existence in the past after all. He was only an Infinite Prime right now, so he was like an ant, while the Spatial Insect Emperor was an elephant.

An ant trying to devour an elephant could no longer be described as virtually impossible. It was simply impossible.

“You’re too weak. It looks like I still need to help you out.” The Rain Abbess clearly sensed Jian Chen’s situation as well. She shook her head gently and turned around, leaving the forbidden grounds.

The Rain Abbess was gone for several hours. When she returned, she was no longer alone. Instead, a red-robed old man followed behind her.

The old man seemed ancient. Even though his presence was concealed, he still gave off a scorching presence. The red robes on him seemed to be condensed from flames, giving off a red glow.

The Rain Abbess led the old man to where Jian Chen was. She said, “Scarlet Emperor, use your Heaven-scorching Furnace to refine his soul. Be careful not to harm him,” the Rain Abbess said coldly, without any emotions at all. It seemed more like an order.

The Scarlet Emperor was a figure only cultivators with high status on the Delight Plane could know because he was a peak expert, as well as one of the four ancestors of the Cloudsurge Empire. He grasped the Laws of Fire.

The Scarlet Emperor’s old eyes shone with a fiery light as he carefully studied Jian Chen, who lay in the wooden tub. He was slightly curious, “Abbess, you brought me over from billions of kilometres away just for him?”

Although he was also one of the ancestors of the Cloudsurge Empire, the Scarlet Emperor clearly seemed rather restrained before the Rain Abbess.

The Rain Abbess nodded. “Scarlet Emperor, I’ll leave it up to you.” With that, the Rain Abbess turned around and left. She sat down beside the small pond, no longer paying attention to Jian Chen’s matters.

The Scarlet Emperor studied Jian Chen as his doubts deepened. He thought to himself, “Strange. Who is this kid? His cultivation is so low. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him before, nor have I heard the Rain Abbess mention him before. And I had thought it would be something severe for the Rain Abbess to travel so far to fetch me. It’s all for this person in the end?”

“Hmm?” Suddenly, the Scarlet Emperor was surprised. His eyes shone, as if two flames leapt around in there. He stared right at Jian Chen’s forehead.

“I- it’s actually the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor.” The Scarlet Emperor was stern. He knew about the origins of the Spatial Insect Emperor extremely well. If it were still at peak condition, even he would be forced to flee if he encountered it. He would not be its opponent.

However, the Spatial Insect Emperor had been slain by the Rain Abbess. Its body was destroyed, and it was reduced to a soul used to guard the forbidden grounds.

Now that he had discovered the Spatial Insect Emperor in Jian Chen’s soul, the Scarlet Emperor naturally understood what it all meant.

“The Abbess actually wants to give the Spatial Insect Emperor to this kid?” The Scarlet Emperor was astounded. He stared at Jian Chen for a while before not saying anything else. With a flip of his hand, a flaming cauldron appeared out of nowhere.

The Heaven-scorching Furnace was the Scarlet Emperor’s most precious item. It was a high quality god artifact, but it was one that ranked towards the bottom among high quality god artifacts.

Jian Chen was sucked into the Heaven-scorching Furnace along with the wooden tub. Immediately, the cauldron surged with flames. Golden fires surrounded it. It seemed extremely terrifying, as if it could burn through space, but it did not give off any heat at all.

The moment the flames lit up around him, Jian Chen immediately sensed faint, golden flames appeared in his sea of consciousness. The flames were extremely terrifying, where even just a strand was devastating.

Jian Chen did not doubt that if even a sliver of it erupted, it would lead to devastating injuries to him.

“The flames have turned faint golden. Just how deep of a comprehension of the Laws of Fire are needed to make the flame’s color change?” Jian Chen was secretly amazed. Most of the flames he had seen had been milky-white. This was the first time he had seen golden flames.
