Chapter 2230 - Fusing with the Chaotic Force (Two)
Chapter 2230: Fusing with the Chaotic Force (Two)
Finally, when he claimed half of the vast ocean as his territory, Jian Chen quivered in his wondrous state, and countless memories surged out like a flood. In that instance, he recovered his consciousness and remembered everything.
“This is true Chaotic Force!” Jian Chen instantly understood. This was no ocean. This was clearly the strand of lingering true Chaotic Force in his soul that had almost claimed his life.
“It’s senior Mo Tianyun who saved me,” Jian Chen immediately sensed the situation of the outside world after recovering his consciousness. At the same time, he sensed an extremely great power of the soul to enter his soul from Mo Tianyun’s hand. It was exactly this energy that allowed his soul to put up a fight against the Chaotic Force.
At the same time, Jian Chen sensed his other half of his soul.
The evil power had occupied most of his other half. There was also a sliver of true Chaotic Force in there.
However, his control over the other half did not seem to be as great.
It felt like he was gradually losing control over the other half of his soul.
But right now, the danger Jian Chen faced still had not been completely dealt with. He was in no condition to think about the situation of the other soul. Immediately, he dismissed his thoughts and devoted himself to fending off the strand of Chaotic Force in his soul.
“A tiny portion of Chaotic Force has actually fused with my soul?” Only at this moment did Jian Chen discover that his soul was different from before. A tiny sliver of Chaotic Force had unbelievably fused with his soul, allowing his soul to reach a whole new level of strength compared to before even though it was still very frail.
If his soul was like a rock before, his soul had now become steel. It was a transformation in terms of quality.
This discovery made Jian Chen both surprised and joyful but also slightly worried. He did not know whether there would be any side-effects from fusing with the Chaotic Force, but he could clearly sense the increase in strength.
“Whatever. It’s not like I can do anything about it now. Since my soul has already fused with a portion of the true Chaotic Force, I might as well refine the rest of the Chaotic Force in a single sitting as well,” thought Jian Chen. He made up his mind and began to fuse with the other portion of Chaotic Force forcefully.
During the process, the power of Jian Chen’s soul depleted at an extremely rapid rate. If he was alone, he definitely would not have been able to do this because his soul was not that powerful.
Fortunately, he had Mo Tianyun’s assistance. Mo Tianyun syphoned the power of the Saint of Grand Harmony’s soul into Jian Chen’s soul, providing abundant support. As a result, Jian Chen was able to do something like that.
“Unbelievable. It’s truly inconceivable. His soul has actually fused with a strand of Chaotic Force. This is beyond imagination,” the black-robed Mo Tianyun stared at Jian Chen without blinking at all. What happened with Jian Chen at this moment left him tongue-tied.
“The soul is the most fragile part of living beings. Once it has been contaminated with Chaotic Force, it’s almost certain death. Even if someone somehow manages to survive, they would have to pay an unimaginable price. Fusing with Chaotic Force is even more impossible because even Grand Exalts can’t do something like that.”
Yet, Jian Chen did it.
“This child is truly extraordinary. It looks like there was a reason why the sword spirits chose him after all,” Mo Tianyun looked at Jian Chen deeply and with thought.
After recovering his consciousness, Jian Chen was no longer as frail as he was before in his battle against the Chaotic Force. Gradually, he gained the upper hand, and the remaining Chaotic Force in his soul was rapidly devoured, refined, and fused with, allowing his soul to wander off in a completely unknown direction bit by bit.
“The power of the soul from outside isn’t extremely pure. There are some impurities. If I don’t do something about it and let these impurities into my soul, it’ll become a horrible problem,” Jian Chen thought. Suddenly, he remembered his other half that was occupied by the evil power. Immediately, he separated the impure power of the soul, feeding it to the other half.
The other half of his soul was contaminated by the evil power anyway, so contaminating it some more did not matter. He just did not want any problematic side-effects to happen to the pure half of his soul that belonged to him.
Time passed silently, and after who knows how long, Jian Chen finally opened his eyes.
One of his eyes was blood-red. It flickered with a demonic, red light as an evil power lurked within, while his other eye remained normal.
“Thank you for your assistance, senior!” Jian Chen stood up and bowed towards Mo Tianyun. But in the next moment, his body began to spasm as he immediately paled.
Only now did he realise that although he had just survived a crisis, keeping his soul intact, his body was still severely injured. His movements had aggravated his injuries, leading to excruciating pain.
Although Mo Tianyun had worked on his body somewhat, he had only stabilised Jian Chen’s condition. He did not recover at all.
The black-robed Mo Tianyun stared at Jian Chen. His piercing gaze seemed to see through all of Jian Chen’s ins and outs. He said, “What’s up with your soul? Your soul has been sliced into two, so you should have died, yet you’re still able to act like nothing has happened. I have never heard or seen something like this in my life.”
Jian Chen shook his head, “I don’t know either. None of this was under my control. It’s just that right now, my control over the other half of my soul is becoming weaker and weaker.”
Mo Tianyun nodded. He stared at Jian Chen in thought and only said after a while, “I’d say I have some accomplishments with research on the soul, but what has happened with you has completely exceeded my boundary of understanding. As a result, I cannot help you at all. However, the other half of your soul has been severely contaminated. You need to abandon it or refine it into a clone.”
“However, your control over that other half is becoming weaker and weaker. This is not good. You must find a way to deal with it.”
“Junior understands,” Jian Chen clasped his fist. When he glanced past the white-robed and black-robed Mo Tianyun, a strange expression appeared on his face.
This was because he had suddenly discovered he was able to gain a blurry sense of both the white-robed and the black-robed Mo Tianyun’s strength. He did not know the exact cultivation level of Mo Tianyun’s original body and clone. He only found that whether it was the original body or clone, they were all existences that towered like mountains in his eyes, so powerful that they were undefeatable.
In particular, Mo Tianyun’s original body filled Jian Chen with surprise and dread.
“I never thought I’d gain such an ability after fusing with the Chaotic Force. However, I can sense that the changes with my soul definitely aren’t just that. I must spend some time and look into it in the future,” thought Jian Chen. He was overjoyed. With such an ability, would it mean that no one would be able to hide their strength from him anymore?
Suddenly, the space in the distance cracked, and a huge spatial crack appeared. With a flash of azure light, a middle-aged man in azure robes had appeared near the crack.
“The Azure Peng King!” Jian Chen’s face changed when he caught a glance of the azure-robed man.
In the past, he had only sensed the power of the Azure Peng King from the latter’s presence alone. He had no idea exactly how powerful the Azure Peng King was, but now, he could clearly sense the Azure Peng King’s strength. Although he did not know which heavenly layer the Azure Peng King had reached, his strength also filled Jian Chen with surprise and dread.
