Chapter 2666: A Message from the Protector Swords
Jian Chen used the Laws of Space to cover ground in outer space. He moved like the Heartless Child, where every single step he took touched on the profound truths of the universe, allowing him to teleport. Who knows how far he could cross in an instant.
Due to being too great of a world, it was impossible for people to teleport like they did in lower worlds in the Saints’ World without exceptional cultivation or extremely great comprehension of the Laws of Space.
After Jian Chen’s comprehension of the Laws of Space reached Infinite Prime, he was finally able to achieve this.
However, even with that being the case, the distance he could teleport each time was extremely limited. It was unlike the Tian Yuan Continent, where Saint Kings could rip open Space Gates and go wherever they wanted.
“The space in the Spirits’ World is rather different from the Saints’ World. Perhaps due to the incomplete Laws of Space here, I always feel like it’s rather arduous to use the Laws of Space here. It’s not as easy as back in the Saints’ World.” Jian Chen stopped very quickly. He studied the space there with his brows furrowed, and then he silently sensed the power of his soul. His eyebrows became even more furrowed.
“When I use the laws, the power of my soul is drained faster, and the recovery speed is less than a third of the speed in the Saints’ World.”
“I can’t keep using the Laws of Space to cover ground. It looks like whatever I do in this place, I need to save energy,”
thought Jian Chen. No wonder the Heartless Child had turned around and left as soon as he arrived here. The environment was so terrible that even an expert like the Heartless Child would be affected.
Jian Chen gave up on using the Laws of Space to cover ground. With a thought, Chaotic Force began to circulate in his body rapidly, allowing him to travel quickly using his cultivation alone.
Chaotic Force grew at an extremely gradual rate because it was just too powerful. A tremendous amount of energy was required to condense every strand, so the energy in each strand was obviously immense. As a result, his Chaotic Force depleted extremely slowly as well.
In this foreign land, other cultivators would probably conserve the power of their cultivation due to the difficulty of absorbing origin energy here, but Jian Chen had no need to worry about that at all. His chaotic neidan contained an almost endless amount of energy. It was enough for him to do whatever he wanted in this foreign and incomplete world.
At the same time, there was a certain region within the Saints’ World filled with floating, shattered meteors. They varied in size and basically packed the entire place.
The fragments of meteor did not directly disintegrate when struck by violent pulses of energy. Instead, they shot off like comets into the depths of the sea of stars, propelled by the powerful energy.
At the very centre of this space was an extremely large, almost planet-like space beast. The pressure it gave off made the space there tremble and distort. It was extremely terrifying and powerful.
The vital energy it possessed was earth-shaking!
An elephant-shaped space beast constantly raised its foot and stamped down at a ball of white light that seemed even smaller than an ant in comparison.
The ball of white like was Gongsun Zhi, who had been sent there by the Rain Abbess through her Laws of Space!
He had already become sheet-white, and his eyes were filled with despair. There was a sense of dread towards death.
He had been trapped there by the space beast through extremely great energy, forcing him to endure this terrifying attack at all times. As the protective light from Godslayer’s sword was rapidly drained away, it clearly became thinner and thinner.
This made Gongsun Zhi feel the same powerlessness as when he faced the Rain Abbess. Although he was protected by the protector sword, making him temporarily safe, the protector sword’s energy would eventually run out. He could only watch the light around him grow thinner and thinner; he could not do anything else. He could only wait for death quietly.
“I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. I only just got the position of leader of the Radiant Saint Hall. I’ve yet to enjoy the wealth and status properly. I’ve yet to conquer the entire Desolate Plane and become a supreme figure on there. I can’t die here…” Gongsun Zhi’s voice trembled. The fear of death filled his heart, making his legs shake.
He could vaguely sense that the space beast was even more terrifying than the Rain Abbess!
The Rain Abbess had used her mastery over the Laws of Space to send Gongsun Zhi here with great precision; this was clearly no coincidence. The Rain Abbess knew that this would happen.
At the same time, Godslayer’s sword let out a thrum. It was gentle, but it was enough to even reach the depths of hell.
It seemed to be sobbing, not because it was not powerful enough, but because its wielder was too weak, unable to unleash its power. It could only defend reactively against the space beast.
Within the Radiant Saint Hall on the Desolate Plane.
One of the eight vice-leaders of the Radiant Saint Hall, Xuan Zhan, current sat within a secret room as he cultivated. The Laws of the Hallowed gathered around him like a web, revolving around him with the profound truths of the world.
He clearly was making the final preparations for the most crucial step to breaking through. Once he broke through successfully and reached Grand Prime, he would be able to unleash even greater power from his protector sword.
Suddenly, Xuan Zhan stopped. He opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed through them. He closed his hand, and a large sword immediately appeared in his hand.
The sword was surrounded by a brilliant light such that only an outline would be visible from time to time.
This was the ninth protector’s sword, Mindwaker’s sword!
“The protector sword sent a message. Gongsun Zhi is in danger, and it actually wants me to go save him,” Xuan Zhan murmured before leaving the secret room.
At the same time, Xuan Ming, who cultivated in another room within the sacred hall, and Han Xin and Bai Yu on the Soaring Clouds Peak roused from cultivation. They drew their protector swords immediately and sensed the message from the sword.
“Gongsun Zhi is in danger, and it actually wants us to save him. Hmph, I’ll never go. I hate him the most. It’s best if he dies.” Bai Yu stamped her foot and pouted. She was completely reluctant. She felt disgusted as soon as she thought of Gongsun Zhi’s face and actions. She even hoped that Gongsun Zhi would die sooner.
“Bai Yu, let’s go. Get ready to set off. This is the will of the protector swords. We cannot defy them.” Han Xin flew down from the top of the mountain and appeared before Bai Yu.
His appearance had not changed at all from before, but his bearing was different. He seemed like a completely different person. Not only did it become even more steady, it was even filled with a great sense of confidence.
This was what the protector sword had brought. To them, the protector swords represented great strength. With great strength and a unique status in the Radiant Saint Hall, Han Xin’s confidence would obviously differ from before.
“But… but…” Bai Yu remained reluctant, but she understood that since the protector sword had brought this message, she had no other choice even if she did not want to.
If she did not abide by the protector sword’s will, it was extremely likely for the protector sword to leave her.
