Chaotic Sword God

ld had rapidly declined since its energy had been siphoned away, so the world conjured by the rock had become fragile now.

Jian Chen turned to face the direction the pressure was coming from, and he could not help but smile faintly.
His gaze softened at that moment as well.

Shangguan Mu’er had broken through the Returnance realm and formally reached Reciprocity.

Without a single doubt, Shangguan Mu’er was the strongest expert among the four races if Jian Chen was not in the picture.

She was the greatest expert among all four races in terms of cultivation and battle prowess because she was the only one who had reached Reciprocity.

Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er continued to absorb the energy from the rock to cultivate for another nine years.
The energy within the rock had finally begun to run dry, and only then did Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er stop.

Eighteen years had passed since Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er had come to this world.
After eighteen years, Jian Chen’s Chaotic Body reached the seventh layer and was close to the peak.
After reaching Reciprocity, Shangguan Mu’er’s cultivation slowed as well.
She had only managed to reach the peak of mid Reciprocity during the following nine years, now only an inch away from late Returnance.

“We can’t absorb the rock anymore.
If the rock vanishes, then the evil power hidden within will break free as well.
Leaving the rock allows it to function as a seal, keeping the evil power trapped in it,” Jian Chen sternly said while standing before the rock and glaring at the red light in it.
Over the past eighteen years, the evil power had always been strengthening, without stopping for a single moment.
Although their power had drastically increased, Jian Chen was not completely confident he could deal with the evil power.

This was because they could not help but feel chills when they saw the evil power even with their current strength.
They were very fearful of it.

Shangguan Mu’er also stared at the evil power sternly.
She said, “Once it absorbs all the remaining energy, it will still break free.
The remaining rock won’t be able to keep it trapped for long.”

“I know it’ll break free soon, but I think there will be enough time.
I need to raise my Chaotic Body to the eighth layer as soon as possible and then return to the Tian Yuan Continent to deal with the foreign threat.
Otherwise, we’ll not have a chance of victory even with our increased strength, especially if we get caught in a pincer attack between the evil power and the foreign world, and I have a feeling that the evil power will bring a disaster countless times more severe than the foreign world,” Jian Chen said with a heavy voice.
His face was grim as the light in his eyes flickered.

Shangguan Mu’er looked at Jian Chen, “Your Chaotic Body requires an extremely tremendous amount of energy.
Now that we can’t absorb energy from the rock and that Violet Cloud Peaches can only be consumed once a century, what do you plan on using to reach the eighth layer?”

“I still have quite a variety of Immortal Tier heavenly resources that I brought back from the Xuanhuang Microcosm.
These heavenly resources will be the most effective when they have been refined into pills, and if I consume them directly, their effects will be greatly reduced, and I might even explode from the violet energy, but they’re the only hope for me to reach the eighth layer under the current situation.” Jian Chen replied in a firm voice.
With a wave of his hand, several heavenly resources from the Xuanhuang Microcosm appeared in his hand.

“Jian Chen, can you withstand the violet energy with the current toughness of your body?” Shangguan Mu’er was very worried.

“I obviously would not have been so confident if my Chaotic Body remained at the fifth or sixth layer, but now that I’ve reached the seventh layer, I believe that I can withstand the violet energy from the heavenly resources with my current toughness.
Moreover, these heavenly resources aren’t of particularly high grades,” Jian Chen said confidently.
He refused to believe that his Chaotic Body, at the seventh layer, was unable to withstand the violent energy from some heavenly resources that were not of particularly high grades.
