Chaotic Sword God
chapter-3166

Caw!

The golden phoenix let out a great cry as it was split in half. Golden blood rained down from the sky as its flames of life became extremely dim.

It struck the ground heavily. The two halves of its body wriggled around on the ground as dim, golden flames burned slowly as if it was trying to glue the two halves back together.

It did possess a special, undying characteristic after all. No matter how severe its wounds were, it could recover quickly. It could not die so easily.

However, the power that had injured it was Chaotic Force. The presence of Chaotic Force completely eroded away its abilities to heal. As a result, even if it brought the two parts together, the wound would never close up.

“It’s already on its last breath! We just need a final bit more! Kill it!” Mo Tianyun bellowed out. In the next moment, a blade as thin as a cicada’s wing appeared above Mo Tianyun’s head, giving off a terrifying pressure.

It was perhaps better described as a claw than a blade, a claw that had been specially refined.

The claw was entwined with glyphs, which seemed like the trajectories of ways. It was complicated and profound.

The claw was a sovereign god artifact!

The Rain Abbess did not hold back either. With a cry, she formed various seals with her hands and unleashed the Authority of the Grand Exalt!

Immediately, a colossal figure condensed behind the Rain Abbess. The figure was hazy, like a god, giving off an earth-shaking pressure. Afterwards, it pressed down with a palm strike, attacking the golden phoenix’s head with enough power to overwhelm the universe.

At that moment, Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess both used their strongest attacks and struck the phoenix’s head at virtually the same time.

In the past, these attacks could only heavily injure the phoenix at most, and the phoenix would be able to make a complete recovery very quickly.

But at this moment, the phoenix was already on its last breath. Its flames of life were dim, and it was extremely feeble. Coupled with its undying characteristics suppressed by Chaotic Force, its entire head exploded after enduring Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess’s final strike.

The phoenix that protected the Heaven-splitting Divine Tree had finally been slain!

Gazing at the golden phoenix’s corpse, both Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess let out a collective sigh of relief. Then they looked towards the Heaven-splitting Divine Tree fervently.

Now, they could finally absorb the Heaven-splitting Divine Force without anything to stop them.

However, they did not do that. Instead, they arrived by Jian Chen’s side immediately.

After fusing the swords three times, Jian Chen did not faint like the previous two times. Instead, he sat on the ground and healed silently.

The twin swords circled around above him, shining dimly, but they did not suffer any damage like the previous two times. They were in perfect condition.

“Jian Chen, how are your wounds?” Mo Tianyun asked in concern.

“The twin swords used up far too much power in the fusions earlier, so they could only unleash sixty percent of the power from before as most. As a result, the backlash I’ve faced is much lighter,” Jian Chen said slowly.

Mo Tianyun nodded and said, “That’s good then. Recover first. We’re going to cast down powerful defensive formations in the surroundings. The Heaven-splitting Divine Force here is coveted by countless Xuanhuang beasts in the surroundings. With the phoenix’s death, the surrounding Xuanhuang beasts will come to occupy this place.”

“As a result, we can only use formations to stop these Xuanhuang beasts. When we absorb the Heaven-splitting Divine Force, we can’t allow for any disturbances.”

Afterwards, Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess immediately got to work, casting down the formations in the surroundings. Not only did it require the support of a tremendous amount of energy, but it also required the laws of the world.

With Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess’s wealth, they obviously had plenty of five-coloured divine crystals. Coupled with the World of Laws, they had everything required to cast down the formations.

Half a month later, two powerful formations rose up at the same time, enveloping the central area where the Heaven-splitting Divine Tree stood as a hemisphere.

The energy of the formations was completely provided by coloured divine crystals, so they could completely unleash their power.

As Jian Chen was not as heavily injured as the previous two times, it only took him half a month to recover this time. By the time Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess erected the formations, Jian Chen had finished healing.

“Our formations probably won’t last for too long in the Xuanhuang Microcosm. Time is tight, so we need to hurry,” said the Rain Abbess. She pulsed with the powers of space and immediately arrived above the canopy with Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er.

They were located in the very centre of the canopy.

As soon as they arrived there, Jian Chen immediately noticed a bottomless tree hole in the centre of the foliage.

The tree hole was extremely large, several tens of thousand metres across.

However, the colossal tree hole could probably only be considered as an eye of a needle when compared to the Heaven-splitting Divine Tree’s colossal size.

Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er followed behind the Rain Abbess and Mo Tianyun, directly leaping into the hole.

After a period of free fall, they finally reached the bottom of the tree hole. They stood on a soft, moist, muddy ground.

Even though there were no sources of light at the bottom of the tree hole, such that it was pitch-black, it did not affect them at all.

But at this moment, the four of them could not care about anything else anymore. As soon as they landed at the bottom of the tree hole, a wondrous presence filled their faces.

Standing within the presence, Jian Chen immediately felt a cool sensation from his soul. In a daze, it was as if a vast world had unfolded in his head, manifesting with the laws and ways.

“This is Heaven-splitting Divine Force!” Jian Chen shuddered inside. He immediately understood that the wondrous presence was the Heaven-splitting Divine Force Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abess had previously mentioned.

This was a power similar to the Origin of Ways, except it was on an even higher level!

Jian Chen opened his mind and discarded all other thoughts, immediately sitting down on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Devouring Orchid turned into a tiny stalk, wrapping around his wrist as it swayed about gently. It also absorbed the Heaven-splitting Divine Force.

The Rain Abbess and Shangguan Mu’er also entered a state of cultivation.

“Heaven-splitting Divine Force is a great fortune. Ning Shuang, Houston, you should absorb as much of it as you can too!” Mo Tianyun said. With a wave of his hand, the black-robed Ning Shuang and Houston suddenly appeared beside Mo Tianyun. Jian Chen had not seen Houston in many years, but he still possessed the same appearance as before.

However, Ning Shuang was no longer in soul form anymore. She had successfully reconstructed her body, and her physique was quite extraordinary, giving off a gentle haze with the presence of ways. It was clearly a treasured physique.

As for Houston, he had also undergone a complete transformation during the years he followed Mo Tianyun and Ning Shuang. His appearance had not changed, but his presence had become much more powerful, having reached peak Godking already.
