Chapter 3382: A Sovereign’s Arrival

“Argh! You shitty spear! You shameless, shitty spear! You actually injured me so much in such an underhanded way! Just you remember this! I will never spare you in the future! When I reunite with the Spectre of Life, we will definitely come and find you and smash you to pieces!”

Although the artifact spirit of the Source of Life called out furiously, there was a sense of helplessness and being wronged along with its fury. It was truly powerless against the Divine Spear of World Destruction.

Meanwhile, the figure of the spear that attacked Jian Chen vanished as well. However, as the Divine Spear of World Destruction had launched a second attack targeting the artifact spirit, the artifact spirit was unable to heal him in time.

As a result, Jian Chen was heavily injured. There was not a single inch of skin intact and even part of his flesh had turned to ash, obliterated by the absolute might of the Divine Spear of World Destruction.

Fortunately, since the Divine Spear of World Destruction had launched two attacks simultaneously, the will of the spear that Jian Chen faced dissipated prematurely. Otherwise, with his current strength, he probably would have died if he faced it for even a few seconds longer.

This time, the artifact spirit did not heal him, so Jian Chen could only rely on his own ability to recover from his wounds slowly.

However, he had still been injured by a sovereign god artifact after all, so he would recover particularly slowly from his wounds if he relied on the Chaotic Body alone. Even if he had a few centuries, he would struggle to make a full recovery.

As for the Laws of Life he had comprehended, they did have a healing effect, but they were not particularly effective on the current level of his Chaotic Body.

The level of his Chaotic Body was too much higher than the Laws of Life.

“Dammit. The Divine Spear of World Destruction exhausted too much of my energy. It has a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime as a master, so it doesn’t have to worry about energy at all, while I don’t have that advantage.”

“I can’t hold on for much longer. Once I expend too much of my energy here, I won’t be able to escape with you. By then, let alone you, even all the clansmen here will die.” The artifact spirit looked at the Jade Heaven Ruler and said urgently, “This is my life spirit. Merge it with your soul and you’ll become my master. Quick, there’s not much time remaining. We can’t afford to waste it.”

With that, a green bead that was only the size of a thumb appeared before the Jade Heaven Ruler, shining with dazzling light.

The bead was not completely tangible, instead slightly illusionary. That was the spiritual body of the artifact spirit.

The Jade Heaven Ruler opened her hand and the green bead condensed by the artifact spirit immediately drifted over.

Gazing at the green bead between her hands, the Jade Heaven Ruler was emotional. Many emotions flickered through her eyes.

At that moment, she felt anything but calm.

This was the spirit of the ancestral artifact. The spirit of the ancestral artifact had been something sacred that she could not even imagine in the past, yet at this moment, she only needed a single whim to easily place it under her control. She could obtain a paramount treasure that was enough to drive countless experts of the Saints’ World mad.

“What are you waiting for? Quick, there’s not much time left. The shitty spear is building up power. It’s going to attack me again,” the artifact spirit urged frantically.

It had only just awakened. Let alone the fact that it had not completely recovered its energy, it had not even completely healed from its previous damage. It was nowhere close to being at its peak condition, so it truly could not last for too long.

Perhaps because of the artifact spirit’s urgings, the Jade Heaven Ruler made up her mind. Immediately, her gaze became determined. Clutching the artifact spirit’s life spirit, she arrived before Jian Chen as a blur and directly pressed the life spirit against his forehead.

She completed the entire movement smoothly in a single stroke, without any pause or hesitation, such that even the other Wood Spirits failed to respond to her sudden actions.

“Quick, merge the ancestral artifact’s life spirit with your soul.” At the same time, the Jade Heaven Ruler’s panic-stricken voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head. She had already pressed the green bead against his forehead with the greatest speed that she could achieve.

Jian Chen was taken aback. At that moment, his emotions became extremely mixed, like a surging river. He was greatly shaken up.

His gaze was also filled with disbelief.

What was the Jade Heaven Ruler doing? Was she offering up the sovereign god artifact that originally belonged to her to him for nothing?

This was a sovereign god artifact after all, a supreme treasure enough for countless peak experts in the Saints’ World to risk their lives for.

Yet in the end, the Jade Heaven Ruler was giving such a precious treasure to him without any hesitation?

At that moment, Jian Chen’s heart surged violently. He had never felt such a great emotional impact before.

“How dare you! You idiot! You traitor! You’re actually offering up the ancestral god artifact of your race to someone else! You’re betraying the Wood Spirits with that!” The artifact spirit scolded her loudly, unable to contain its fury. In the next moment, its life spirit immediately broke free from the Jade Heaven Ruler’s grasp. At the same time, a tremendous and mighty energy descended from above, turning into two mountains that crushed down on Jian Chen and the Jade Heaven Ruler simultaneously.

Spurt! Spurt!

Blood erupted from Jian Chen and the Jade Heaven Ruler’s mouths at the same time. They were heavily injured, crushed under the mountains.

The Jade Heaven Ruler had moved very quickly without any hesitation at all, but this was inside the Source of Life after all. No matter how quickly she moved, it was impossible for her to rival the artifact spirit.

Only now did the eight other Wood Spirits return to their senses. They looked at the Jade Heaven Ruler who was crushed under the mountain. They were all puzzled and bewildered.

The person who was about to inherit the ancestral god artifact earlier had become a prisoner in the next instant.

The tremendous upheaval in status left them in disbelief.

“Among the eight tests, your overall strength ranked second. Since that girlie is betraying the race, I’ll have to settle with you.” The artifact spirit abandoned the Jade Heaven Ruler without any hesitation. Its life spirit turned into a streak of light, shooting towards someone else.

He was the ancestor of the Yongxi clan, Yongxi Lantian!

In terms of strength and comprehension, he paled in comparison to the Heaven Fighting Ruler, but his overall results from the tests were slightly better.

Yongxi Lantian never would have dreamt that the artifact spirit would actually choose him. The overwhelming joy made him tremble as tears of excitement rolled down his cheeks.

He understood what this meant far too well. Once he obtained the ancestral god artifact’s recognition, he would immediately become the paramount leader within the Wood Spirits World.

Status would only be one component. Most importantly, his personal strength would skyrocket under the ancestral god artifact’s assistance.

That was basically a fortune great enough to change his fate.

“Please do not worry, artifact spirit. From today onwards, I will definitely lead the Wood Spirits towards glory. I will never let the artifact spirit down,” Yongxi Lantian immediately swore an oath. He was extremely emotional.

However, right as the artifact spirit’s life spirit approached Yongxi Lantian, a tremendous power descended mightily. The power easily passed through the Source of Life’s defences, arriving inside instantly.

At that moment, space froze and everything fell silent. Everything that manifested in the Source of Life seemed to come to a forceful halt, frozen at this point forever.

The plants and trees stopped swaying, while all the Wood Spirits experts in there, as well as Jian Chen, seemed to be frozen. The blood in their bodies and their cultivations came to an absolute pause, no longer under their control.

Among the ten of them, only their thoughts remained active.

The power was far too great, beyond anything that they could resist. When it infiltrated the world of the Source of Life, it seemed to gain control over everything here, replacing the artifact spirit as the ruler.

“Oh no! A sovereign of the Saints’ World!” The Source of Life’s expression changed drastically. Its eyes became filled with deep fear and fright.
