Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2650: The Lord of Heaven’s Link Peak’s Fate

The Cloud Plane had settled down, but the scars of war would not close up in a short time.

Apart from that, the Cloud Plane had suffered great losses as well. Their overall strength plummeted, probably becoming the weakest plane out of the forty-nine planes of the Saints’ World.

The number of Grand Primes across the Cloud Plane had plummeted to four. Only Tong Wuming of the Tong family, Lieyan Wuji of the Firegod clan, Zhou Zhidao of the Cosmic sect, and the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak remained.

The former three were heavily injured, making it very difficult for them to make a full recovery in a short amount of time. In particular, back when Lieyan Wuji was forced into dire straits by the Four Symbols Alliance, he had burnt his own essence blood without any hesitation at all because of his fiery temper. As a result, he directly injured the core of his body such that his strength would be affected. It would even have a certain influence over his future cultivation.

Lieyan Wuji was not even the one who suffered the worst injuries. Although he had injured the very core of his body, there was still a chance of recovery given some time and heavenly resources. Compared to the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak, the injuries he suffered were akin to scratches.

As the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak’s body was eaten away by the curse, it had been completely corrupted. He had to abandon it.

Originally, the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak could completely suppress the curse and slow its spread. Even if he could not nullify it, he could still last much longer. The more time he had, the more likely it was for him to completely nullify it.

However, the situation on the Cloud Plane had suddenly changed. When he saw Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji be beaten to a point where they basically could not even fight back, he struck out without any hesitation. He stopped suppressing his curse to use his full strength in a battle against the Gentle Breeze Ancestor just to keep him busy.

If it were not for the selfless sacrifice of the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak, it would have been impossible for Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji to last until the Martial Soul lineage came. One or two of them would have died at the very least.

Not only were they individually weaker, but they were even at a numerical disadvantage. The difference was rather significant.

On that day, Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji did not bother with healing, dragging their wounded bodies to the top of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

Even Jian Chen and Xu Ran were there.

At that moment, the four peak organisations that basically represented the entire Cloud Plane had gathered there.

Although the Tian Yuan clan’s heritage was lacking, and their strongest member was only Xu Ran, no one could ignore their status even if they did not depend on the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.

Even though the current Tian Yuan clan lacked strength, they could stand on the same level as the Tong family, the Cosmic sect, and the Firegod clan. Their position could even be higher.

Before the five of them was the illusionary lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

This was the peak lord’s soul. He had already abandoned his body, surviving in the form of a soul.

However, even with that being the case, the peak lord still did not manage to break away from the curse. A green thread extended from his dantian in his soul. It was like the thread was reaching towards the peak lord’s head.

The thread was the curse. It was tough and powerful, just like a disease that could not be cured. Once it reached the peak lord’s illusionary forehead, it would mean his death.

“Peak lord, here is Soul-cleansing Grass. It can purify the soul to a certain level. Although it can’t nullify the curse, it’s better than nothing.”

“I have an Empyrean Soul Pill here. It can strengthen the soul to a certain level. Peak lord, now that you face the curse, the stronger your soul is, the better it will be for you.”

Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji all took out some heavenly resources or pills that were beneficial to the soul. Every single one of them were very precious, even effective on Grand Primes. They were treasures that basically had only demand but no supply.

Jian Chen also took out some heavenly resources he had obtained from the Space Rings of Luo Mantian and the others, hoping that he could assist the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

The lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak was someone worthy of respect. Jian Chen also hoped the peak lord could be freed from the torture of the curse sooner.

“These items are all useful to you, so don’t waste them on me. Even if I have these heavenly resources, it’ll just give me a few hundred years at most. However, if I suppress the curse with everything that I have, I can last ten thousand years at the very least,” said the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak. He was amiable and extremely calm, having fully accepted death.

“Peak lord, don’t worry. I will find a way to get an expert who has comprehended the Laws of Curse to nullify your curse,” Jian Chen said firmly.

“This curse has forced the peak lord into such a state. The expert who left behind the curse on Luo Mantian’s dagger was definitely not just a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. They were at the Fifth Heavenly Layer at the very least. I just happen to know someone who has comprehended the Laws of Curses to the Fifth Heavenly Layer, except the price he asks for is just too great. It’s impossible for our Cloud Plane to afford it,” Lieyan Wuji said in pity.

“What is he looking for?” Tong Wuming’s eyes lit up.

“He wants an innate item of nature,” Lieyan Wuji sighed. For experts who had reached such a level of cultivation, ordinary items would no longer interest them. Anything that interested them would be extremely precious.

As soon as they heard that, the tiny sliver of hope Tong Wuming and Zhou Zhidao held was immediately put out.

Innate items of nature were far too precious. Such items included the Rain Abbess’ Innate Orchid of Five Elements and the Watercloud Iron that the Blue Sky Venerable sought. They were all innate items of nature.

Even though they would not be as great as some ninth grade God Tier treasures, they were definitely much rarer. Normally, only peak experts would possess such items.

“You don’t need to do that for me. Don’t we still have ten thousand more years? Who knows, maybe I’ll find a way to nullify the curse during that time,” said the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

After leaving the Heaven’s Link Peak, Jian Chen seemed rather silent. He had been thinking about how he could assist the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

He could only think of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng and the Dao clan for experts who had comprehended the Laws of Curses to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime at the very least. They might not have people who had comprehended the Laws of Curses to such a level, but they could simply ask an expert like that to assist him given their renow.

Jian Chen did not even try to think about the Dao clan. As a result, only the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng remained.

He still had great merit in the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. It should be enough for their first majesty, Yi Xin, to personally take action. However, he had always treated the merit as a final card he could play to protect the Tian Yuan clan. He had prepared it against the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, so using it now would basically be cutting off the Tian Yuan clan’s final path of retreat.

“My Laws of Curses is only at Godking. Even if I use up the golden core of laws completely, I’ll only be able to reach Infinite Prime. Ten millennia. I wonder if I can comprehend the Laws of Curses to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime in ten millennia,” Jian Chen sighed inside as he felt powerless.
