System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

188: The legacy of the whale fall, the ancestral symbol completes the work.The pack of Void Devouring Beasts, like sharks having smelled blood, were crazily gnawing at the shield of the ”star chaser” airship.

The silvery-white light barrier flickered violently, cracks spread, and energy reserves dropped rapidly.

Especially those few Void Devouring Beast leaders at the Early Stage of the Tiangang Realm—every pounce caused the airship to tremble violently, and the situation was precarious!

Iron Battle’s eyes were split with anger.

He personally operated a main cannon, and a scorching beam of energy blasted toward a Tiangang Realm Void Devouring Beast, but it only left scorch marks on its tough hide, instead inciting even more violent ferocity!

”All personnel, prepare for boarding combat!” Iron Battle roared, knowing the shield could not hold for much longer.

Just at this critical moment—

A calm voice sounded: ”Leave it to me.”

Ye Chen had appeared at the entrance of the main control hall at some unknown time.

He held the guixu sword, gray light flowing on the sword body.

The newly integrated ”Cut” Law meaning caused the air at the edge of the sword blade to slightly distort.

”Fellow Daoist Ye!” Iron Battle was both surprised and delighted, but upon seeing that Ye Chen was still only at the Peak Ninth Level of Disha Realm (Ye Chen was still suppressing his cultivation), he couldn’t help but worry, ”It’s too dangerous outside! Those Tiangang Realm Void Devouring Beasts...”

Ye Chen did not say much, just took a step forward, his figure already passing through the crumbling shield and appearing in the cold Void Realm!

The Chaos Domain opened naturally, isolating various harmful energies and low temperatures in the Void Realm.

He hovered in front of the airship, facing those dozens of ferocious Void Devouring Beasts charging over!

”Hiss!”

A Void Devouring Beast at the Ninth Layer Earth Fiend Realm discovered him first, emitting a sharp mental hiss, and opened its mouth to spew an invisible spatial ripple, attempting to tear Ye Chen to shreds!

Ye Chen’s eyes were indifferent, and he swung the guixu sword casually.

”Cut.”

As the sword blade swept across, the moment that invisible spatial ripple touched the Sword Intent, it seemed to be forcibly ”cut off” by an invisible boundary; its structure and energy instantly collapsed, annihilated, and vanished without a trace.

The Void Devouring Beast was stunned, seemingly not understanding what had happened.

And Ye Chen’s sword had already arrived.

The sword light was like silk, with black light on the edges, gently brushing past that Void Devouring Beast.

There was no sound, no resistance.

That Void Devouring Beast at the Ninth Layer Earth Fiend Realm had its massive body split in two from the middle, the cut as smooth as a mirror, and all its vitality was completely severed and annihilated by the Sword Intent in an instant!

The two halves of the corpse floated in the Void Realm like rags.

Instant kill!

The offensive of the other Void Devouring Beasts faltered, and those few Tiangang Realm leaders also stopped their attacks on the airship’s shield, their dark green eyes staring fixedly at Ye Chen, full of vigilance and brutality.

”Roar!”

A Void Devouring Beast leader at the Early Stage of the Tiangang Realm emitted an angry roar.

Its massive body blurred in the Void Realm, and the next instant, it appeared above Ye Chen’s head.

Its giant mouth filled with spiral sharp teeth, carrying the power to devour space, bit down fiercely!

The speed was to the extreme!

However, under the perception of Ye Chen’s Guixu Sword Intent, which had fused with the ”Cut” Law, its movement trajectory was clearly visible.

Ye Chen did not dodge or evade; the guixu sword slashed upward from below!

”Chi—!”

The sword blade collided with the lower jaw of the Void Devouring Beast leader!

The expected stalemate did not occur; the guixu sword seemed to cut into nothingness.

That incredibly tough hide and bone, capable of resisting the airship’s main cannon, was forcibly ”cut off” by that extreme ”separation” meaning the moment it touched the black light on the sword blade!

The sword light passed through the entire head of the Void Devouring Beast leader without any obstruction, splitting it open from the middle!

That Tiangang Realm Void Devouring Beast leader emitted a short and shrill wail, its massive body twitched violently a few times, then lost all vitality, floating in the Void Realm as its dark green eyes quickly dimmed.

Another Tiangang Realm, instant kill!

This time, the remaining Void Devouring Beasts were completely intimidated!

Although they were ferocious, they were not without wisdom.

The seemingly small human before them possessed power that made them feel fear originating from their Souls!

Several Tiangang Realm leaders looked at each other, emitted unwilling hisses, and then turned around, retreating like a tide, quickly disappearing into the shadows of the massive Ancient Whale remains.

With the leaders fleeing, the remaining Earth Fiend Realm Void Devouring Beasts were even more terrified, fleeing in all directions.

In the Void Realm, calm was instantly restored, leaving only a few Void Devouring Beast corpses and the towering, mountain-like Ancient Whale remains.

On the airship, there was dead silence.

Everyone looked dumbfoundedly at the figure in green robes standing in the Void Realm with a sword, as if looking at a god who had descended to the world.

Ninth Layer Earth Fiend Realm, consecutively instant-killing Tiangang Realm Void Devouring Beasts?

This was completely beyond their scope of understanding!

Iron Battle took several deep breaths, barely suppressing the raging waves in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the shield gap to be opened.

Ye Chen flashed, returning inside the airship, his expression as usual, as if he had only done a trivial thing.

”Ye... Senior Ye!” Iron Battle’s attitude had changed from treating him as an equal to complete respect, even using honorifics, ”Thank you, Senior, for saving us from danger again! This kindness...”

Ye Chen waved his hand, interrupting him: ”It’s my duty.”

His gaze, however, was cast toward the massive Ancient Whale remains outside the porthole, his brows slightly furrowed.

Just when he killed that Tiangang Realm Void Devouring Beast leader, the chaos ancestral talisman in his Qi Sea had actually sent out another extremely faint, yet guiding, fluctuation, pointing to... exactly the depths of the Ancient Whale remains!

Could it be that this Ancient Whale remains also hid something related to the chaos ancestral talisman?

”Commander Iron, I intend to go to those Ancient Whale remains to investigate. Can the airship wait here for a moment?” Ye Chen asked.

Hearing this, although Iron Battle felt that the Ancient Whale remains were dangerously unknown, after seeing Ye Chen’s strength, he naturally dared not object and hurriedly said: ”Senior, please! The airship will wait here and is ready to support Senior at any time!”

Ye Chen nodded, said no more, and his figure transformed into a stream of light again, shooting out of the airship and flying toward the Ancient Whale remains that resembled a small continent.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the power of this Ancient Whale during its lifetime.

Even after endless years of death, its bones still exuded a heart-palpitating pressure, and the surrounding Void Realm appeared somewhat stagnant because of it.

Between the bones, an ancient, desolate, and eternal aura permeated.

Following the guidance of the chaos ancestral talisman, Ye Chen flew in from the gaps between the giant ribs and entered the interior of the Ancient Whale remains.

The interior was not hollow as imagined, but rather like a huge, intricate labyrinth.

Passages naturally formed by bones went in all directions, and in some places, there were traces of dried, starlight-shimmering blood, emitting pure energy fluctuations.

He carefully shuttled through it, his Divine Sense highly concentrated, vigilant against possible dangers.

Along the way, he encountered a few scattered, weaker Earth Fiend Realm Void Devouring Beasts, all of which he casually dealt with.

Finally, in the deepest part of the remains, in a relatively open, huge cavity chamber that seemed to be formed by the Ancient Whale’s heart position, he saw the source of the guidance—

It was not another ancestral rune fragment as imagined, but a mass of energy, floating in mid-air, constantly changing seven-colored luster, like a liquid gemstone!

The energy mass was only the size of a fist, but the aura it exuded was pure and vast to the extreme, as if it had condensed the life-long cultivation essence and insights into spatial Laws of this Void Ancient Whale!

And in the center of this energy mass, one could vaguely see a tiny point of Chaos radiance, same-sourced with the chaos ancestral talisman, flickering!

This was a mass of Ancient Whale Origin, marked by the aura of the chaos ancestral talisman, or rather, attracted by it!

The desire conveyed by the chaos ancestral talisman was precisely for this mass of Origin!

Ye Chen could feel that if he could swallow and refine this mass of Origin, not only would his cultivation gain a huge improvement, but he might also comprehend the powerful spatial talent and power of the Void Ancient Whale from it!

He did not act immediately, but observed carefully.

Such a precious Origin could not be without protection.

Sure enough, he noticed that around the energy mass, there was an extremely subtle, natural Restriction integrated with the Ancient Whale bones.

This Restriction was not man-made, but more like a protective mechanism spontaneously formed by the Ancient Whale’s residual will and bones after its death, containing powerful defensive and counter-attacking power.

Forcibly breaking it would likely trigger a backlash from the power of the entire Ancient Whale remains.

Even if he could resist it, it would inevitably cause a huge disturbance, doing more harm than good.

He pondered for a moment and urged the chaos ancestral talisman again.

This time, he did not forcefully impact, but slowly radiated the inclusive, same-sourced aura of the chaos ancestral talisman, like gentle tentacles, gently touching that mass of Ancient Whale Origin and the surrounding natural Restriction.

The chaos ancestral talisman was the source of all Laws, and its aura was supreme.

The mass of Ancient Whale Origin sensed the same-sourced, higher-level aura and trembled slightly, conveying a sense of closeness and obedience.

And the natural Restriction, after contacting the aura of the chaos ancestral talisman, also seemed to have encountered a monarch, its sharp defensive meaning slowly converging and calming down.

The time was right!

Ye Chen stretched out his palm, surrounded by Chaos Qi, and slowly reached toward that mass of seven-colored energy Origin.

Without encountering any obstacles, his palm easily passed through the now-ineffective Restriction and grasped that warm and majestic Origin in his hand!

The moment he held it, a vast sea-like Origin energy and spatial Law insights, like a broken river, crazily surged into his body!

Ye Chen immediately sat cross-legged and operated the Chaos Myriad Transformation Art with all his might!

The heart of chaos beat at an unprecedented speed, crazily swallowing and refining this extremely pure Ancient Whale Origin!

Under the impact of this majestic power, his cultivation, the long-stagnant Peak Ninth Level of Disha Realm Bottleneck, emitted a clear cracking sound!

”Crack!”

It was as if some shackle had been broken!

His aura surged violently, instantly breaking through the limit of the Earth Fiend Realm, stepping into a brand new, more vast Realm—the Tiangang Realm!

Majestic Chaos Gang Qi surged and roared in his body, and both quality and quantity underwent earth-shaking changes!

His Divine Sense power surged, and his coverage expanded more than tenfold, and his perception of the surrounding space became clearer and more subtle!

He could even vaguely feel the subtle spatial veins flowing in the Void Realm!

Not only that, the spatial Law insights contained in the Ancient Whale Origin also merged into his Sea of Consciousness like a brand.

Although it could not immediately give him the spatial Divine Ability to swallow stars like the Ancient Whale, it brought his cognition of space to a brand new height, making the Chaos Limitless Steps even more profound and unpredictable, even faintly touching the threshold of short-distance spatial teleportation!

This improvement was all-encompassing!

I don’t know how long it had passed, but when Ye Chen completely refined and absorbed the Ancient Whale Origin, his cultivation had already stabilized at the Middle Stage of the First Level of Tiangang Realm!

His strength had undergone a qualitative leap!

He slowly opened his eyes, Chaos radiance flowing in his pupils, as if star clouds were being born and dying.

Feeling the vast power in his body and his new insights into space, his heart was filled with joy.

This Opportunity came just at the right time!

He stood up, took a look at the now-dim Ancient Whale cavity chamber, and bowed again to this remains that had given him a huge Opportunity.

Immediately, his figure moved, as if merging into space, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, he had already appeared outside the ”star chaser” airship.

His return caused a sensation on the airship again.

Everyone could feel that Ye Chen’s aura had become more unfathomable, as if he had merged with the surrounding Void Realm!

Iron Battle was even more in awe, hurriedly inviting Ye Chen back to the cabin, his attitude becoming increasingly respectful.

The ”star chaser” airship set sail again, continuing toward the Gui Xu Sea Eye.

And Ye Chen began to consolidate his Tiangang Realm cultivation and familiarize himself with the newly acquired spatial insights.

He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the mysterious Gui Xu Sea Eye.
