Chapter 3249: The Mysterious Owner of the Hall
“I-is this a trap?”
Rui Di’s miserable outcome and the mist that had appeared silently in the surroundings immediately made Zhi Ye understand what was going on. Her face changed instantly.
Jian Chen nodded. “If I’ve guessed correctly, someone probably arrived here first before setting all of this up extremely secretively. Their objective is to deal with the people trapped here through the formation.”
He added, “And, the formation here isn’t as simple as a killing formation. Its greatest function is to strip a cultivator of their vital energy, as well as their cultivation, such that they end up like Rui Di.”
“And from the formations, this person should possess exceptional skill. He should be someone extraordinary.”
Even Jian Chen called this person extraordinary, which made Zhi Ye’s expression change once again. She asked in an unsettled manner, “Then what should we do now, Jian Chen?”
Ever since she learnt that Jian Chen was a Chaotic Prime, Zhi Ye basically completely relied on him for everything. Now that she was in a difficult situation, she immediately became rather frantic, losing her calm.
After all, she was only a First Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. In the eyes of Chaotic Primes, she was far too weak.
“Leave the matters out here to me. You go rest in the divine hall for now,” said Jian Chen. By now, the mist in the surroundings had already grown thicker and thicker. It surged around. Vaguely, demonic figures and vicious faces that resembled wicked ghosts appeared in the mist, brandishing their teeth and claws at them.
The mist had already turned into a powerful killing formation.
The formation was clearly even more powerful than the one that trapped Rui Di earlier. Even some weaker mid Chaotic Prime cultivators would probably be done for if they were trapped in here.
Zhi Ye was aware she would be of absolutely no help if she remained outside, so she immediately entered Jian Chen’s divine hall with Rui Di.
Only Jian Chen remained in the formation composed of the obscuring mist.
He stood exactly where he was without budging. His eyes were shut as if he was sensing for something.
Suddenly, the mist began to surge more violently as if a dragon was stirring up the entire cloud. In the next moment, a terrifying demonic figure that seemed to be condensed from the mist lunged towards Jian Chen.
As soon as the demonic figure appeared, Jian Chen felt his soul shake. His cultivation as well as the power of his soul pulsed as if it was breaking free from his control.
The white demonic figure had only just appeared, and it already possessed such power. If it arrived, probably some Chaotic Primes would end up the same as Rui Di, where all of their life force, cultivation, and vital energies were devoured.
It was the same formation, but it was clearly much more powerful than the one Rui Di faced.
Jian Chen was unfazed. He gently swept his finger across the air, and a spatial blade appeared silently, slicing towards the demonic figure with a pulse.
The demonic figure condensed from white mist was cut in half by the spatial blade, but it did not disperse. Instead, it divided into two, lunging towards Jian Chen as two demonic figures.
“They multiply as I kill them?” Jian Chen opened his eyes. His gaze was extremely sharp. The Chaotic Force in his body surged as he directly threw a punch!
Not only did the punch contain Chaotic Force, but it also possessed the terrifying powers of Chaotic Force. At the same time, the surface of the fist was wrapped in the sharp Laws of the Sword.
The punch was startling. It shattered space and made the entire mist formation shake violently.
The punch even shook up the medium quality divine hall. Just the terrifying might that had erupted when the punch was thrown was enough to make an entire medium quality god artifact tremble.
Boom! Boom!
Jian Chen threw two punches with lightning speed. Sword Qi immediately shot out, and the destructive presence of Chaotic Force permeated the surroundings. Both punches produced a startling explosion, smashing the incoming demonic figures to pieces.
Even if the demonic figures multiplied as he killed them, able to split into more and more, they seemed to lose all of their liveliness before Jian Chen’s attack, directly disintegrating.
“This formation is very powerful, but it’s not enough to threaten me. Sir, you better show yourself.” Jian Chen stood there as his voice boomed through the surroundings.
“I didn’t expect the Chaotic Body, and one that had reached such a great layer. Hahahaha, that sure is rare. It’s much more powerful than the body I’ve reconstructed.”
“Kid, your body is mine. If you have some sense to you, leave with your soul and leave behind your body, and I can still spare your life. Otherwise, you know what’s going to be waiting for you.”
An energetic voice rang out from outside the formation. It was filled with confidence as if victory was within his grasp.
“You actually want my body?” Jian Chen was surprised at first, but he soon sneered. “Then let’s see whether you’re capable of something like that or not.”
“How audacious. You’re just a measly Chaotic Prime, and you want to act audaciously before me? Kid, I’ll have you understand what it feels like to be better off dead very soon. The Heart-devouring Formation of a Myriad Ghosts that I’ve set up has a total of ninety nine thousand, nine hundred, and ninety nine ghost slaves. You’ve only just killed one of them now.”
“Just a single ghost slave has almost taken you all of your strength. I’d like to see how you deal with the remaining ninety nine thousand, nine hundred, and ninety eight.”
The person behind the formation’s voice rang out from outside, “Originally, I just wanted to devour your vital energy through the ghost slaves before using it to nurture my body, but now, I’ve changed my mind. I just need to keep your body unscathed and destroy your soul. Hahahaha!”
Within the arrogant laughter, the mist surged violently like never before. Demonic figures after demonic figures appeared in the mist. They seemed to be completely condensed from the mist, and every single one of them was enormous, possessing a strange power.
In the next moment, all of the demonic figures were mobilised, lunging towards Jian Chen from all directions.
From afar, there seemed to be a great blanket of mist advancing towards Jian Chen rapidly.
“If I were some other Chaotic Prime, I would run out of energy against so many ghost slaves even if I could handle them. Unfortunately, you encountered me of all people.” Jian Chen sneered. “Ninety nine thousand, nine hundred, and ninety eight ghost slaves? Then I’ll show you exactly how I kill all of them.”
With that, the laws in this region of space suddenly changed. All of the ghost slaves moved very slowly.
No, the ghost slaves did not slow down. Instead, their distance from Jian Chen had been indefinitely extended.
Jian Chen used the Laws of Space to alter the space here. At the same time, his body lit up brightly, directly throwing his fists and unleashing a barrage of attacks.
These ghost slaves could rapidly break up. If he used any regular methods to kill them, they would only multiply, so he did not attack them with Sword Qi alone. Instead, he used Sword Qi to supplement his Chaotic Force, throwing both fists to use his body to attack them.
Every single punch of his bore the brutal power of the Chaotic Body. Chaotic Force and the Laws of the Sword complemented one another, such that all the fists he threw were devastating. He punched in the ghost slaves one by one, making them lose the ability to split up and keep fighting.
