System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

200: Trial of the Battle Soul, Primordial Embryo Recognizes its Master”Boom!” The cold will of the guardian collided violently with the Nirvana Sword Intent. An invisible shockwave exploded across the circular plaza, kicking up dust that had settled for eons.

The Chaos flames within the eye sockets of the dilapidated statue flickered violently, emitting an increasingly berserk killing intent.

”Die! Die! Die!” The intermittent roars echoed like thunder in Ye Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, filled with a mechanical, pre-programmed obsession with destruction.

This battle remnant Soul had long since lost its original intelligence, leaving only the instinct to guard the ”chaos primordial fetus” and slay all intruders!

Controlling the dilapidated statue, it suddenly raised its massive stone palm. Instead of striking, it spread its five fingers and clenched the air toward Ye Chen!

”Hum—!” The space around Ye Chen instantly solidified and compressed! It was as if countless invisible Chaos chains had reached out from the Void Realm, intending to completely imprison and crush him! This was an extremely sophisticated application of Chaos power, involving the Law of spatial imprisonment!

”Nirvana—Emptiness!” Ye Chen’s eyes were cold. The guixu sword traced an abstruse trajectory, and his Great Accomplishment Nirvana Sword Intent erupted with full force! The Sword Intent did not burst outward but converged inward, forming an absolute ”Nirvana Emptiness” Domain around his body!

The moment the crushing Chaos imprisonment force touched this ”Emptiness” Domain, the Law connections and energy structures contained within it seemed to be ”severed” and ”annihilated” conceptually by an invisible force, greatly reducing its power and making it unable to completely imprison Ye Chen!

His figure flickered as he executed the Chaos Limitless Steps, escaping the core area of the imprisonment like a phantom. Where he had originally stood, space emitted a sound of unbearable distortion, leaving behind a fleeting mark of collapse.

”Roar!” The guardian battle Soul let out an angry roar. The statue’s massive stone palm changed from a grip to a strike, carrying the power to crush mountains as it covered the entire plaza and slammed down! Before the palm wind even arrived, the heavy pressure had already caused the ground beneath Ye Chen’s feet to crack inch by inch!

He could not take this head-on! Ye Chen could feel that the power contained in this palm strike absolutely surpassed a Peak Tiangang Realm expert! This statue, in its lifetime, was likely a terrifying existence that had transcended the Tiangang Realm!

His sword stance shifted. The trace of black light representing ”Sever” on the guixu sword lit up once more, undergoing Fusion with his Great Accomplishment Nirvana Sword Intent.

”Guixu—Mountain Severing!” He did not choose to slash at the physical giant palm, but instead, his sword light, thin as silk, followed the power veins and Law trajectories stirred up by the palm’s descent, moving against the flow to precisely ”cut” through it!

”Rip!” A faint sound, like tearing fabric, rang out. The seemingly invincible giant palm’s massive flow of power suffered a momentary stagnation and fracture! The speed and power of the strike were suddenly reduced by thirty percent!

Ye Chen seized this fleeting opportunity, his figure moving like lightning, weaving through the gap at the edge of the palm just in the nick of time!

”Boom!!!” The stone palm slammed fiercely into the plaza floor. The entire Chaos palace shook violently, and a massive palm print several fathoms deep appeared on the ground, with cracks spreading out like a spiderweb.

Having missed its strike, the guardian battle Soul became even more berserk. On the statue’s dilapidated body, those ancient Chaos Dao patterns began to light up one by one, emitting a dangerous glow. It opened its remaining right arm, and Chaos Qi gathered frantically between its five fingers, condensing into a grayish beam of light radiating an aura of destruction, locking onto Ye Chen, ready to fire!

The power of this strike was likely comparable to the Nirvana ripple at the core of the guixu earlier! It absolutely must not be allowed to fully unleash!

Ye Chen’s pupils contracted, his thoughts racing. A head-on clash was definitely not the best strategy; this battle Soul relied on the statue and the palace Formation, giving it near-infinite power. He had to find its core, or... use skill to overcome force!

His gaze instantly swept across the statue’s eye sockets, which were burning with Chaos flames, and the ”chaos primordial fetus” cradled in its palm.

The primordial fetus! Since it was guarding the primordial fetus, the battle Soul’s power core was likely connected to it! Furthermore, this battle Soul was a remnant consciousness; its greatest weakness was the essence of its Divine Soul! Nirvana Sword Intent was the perfect counter to Soul entities!

An adventurous plan formed in Ye Chen’s mind instantly. Instead of dodging the impending beam of light, he proactively charged toward it! At the same time, he fully activated the chaos ancestral talisman, emitting an aura of the same Origin as the ”chaos primordial fetus,” attempting to interfere with and attract it!

”Hum!” The chaos primordial fetus seemed truly stirred by the aura of the same Origin, trembling slightly as the Chaos clouds flowing on its surface accelerated a bit.

And it was this subtle interference that caused the guardian battle Soul’s action of condensing the light beam to experience a momentary, extremely brief hesitation! Within its pure destructive intention, a logical conflict seemed to arise between guarding the primordial fetus and attacking the intruder!

Now! Ye Chen compressed and condensed all of his Divine Soul power, mixed with the Great Accomplishment Nirvana Sword Intent and that trace of the ”Sever” Law, forging it into an intangible, formless—yet containing the ultimate ”End” intention—Nirvana Soul Sword!

”Slash!” He silently intoned. This Nirvana Soul Sword, which condensed his strongest Divine Soul attack at this moment, ignored spatial distance, instantly crossing the Void Realm to shoot directly into the statue’s eye sockets, where the Chaos flames were burning, and slashed fiercely at the guardian battle Soul’s core within!

”Awoooo—!!!” A piercing, shrill scream, seemingly originating from the depths of its Soul, suddenly erupted from inside the statue! The Chaos flames, as if doused with ice water, flickered violently and dimmed!

For a battle Soul composed purely of remnant will, the Nirvana Soul Sword was devastating! That cold destructive intent and mechanical obsession with slaughter, upon contact with this pure ”Ending” Sword Intent, dissolved and disintegrated rapidly, like snow meeting the scorching sun!

The Chaos light beam the statue had condensed suddenly dissipated, and its raised stone arm froze in mid-air. The Chaos flames in its eye sockets flickered unsteadily before finally extinguishing completely.

The battle remnant Soul that had guarded this place for countless eons vanished into thin air under Ye Chen’s highly targeted strike.

”Boom...” Having lost the support of the battle Soul, the already dilapidated statue seemed to have exhausted its final strength. It began to disintegrate from within, turning into countless stone fragments and collapsing with a roar, kicking up a sky full of dust.

The sealing light on the plaza also dimmed and vanished along with it.

Ye Chen breathed slightly, his face somewhat pale. That Nirvana Soul Sword just now had consumed a massive amount of his Divine Soul power. But he dared not slacken, his gaze fixed tightly on the spot where the statue had collapsed.

The dust slowly settled. The head-sized ”chaos primordial fetus” was still quietly floating in mid-air, emitting a peaceful and pure Chaos aura. Only now, it was no longer supported by the stone palm, as if it had become an object without an owner.

Ye Chen walked over slowly. He could feel the intense craving coming from the chaos ancestral talisman, as well as the sense of closeness and acceptance radiating from the chaos primordial fetus.

He reached out his hand, gently touching the chaos primordial fetus. There was no repulsion, no attack.

The moment his fingertips touched the smooth surface of the primordial fetus, the entire object suddenly transformed into a warm stream of Chaos light, flowing along his arm and instantly merging into his Sea of Consciousness at his brow!

”Hum!” Ye Chen felt his Sea of Consciousness shake, as if a new world had been opened up. The chaos primordial fetus hovered in the center of his Sea of Consciousness, rotating slowly and casting down endless, clear Chaos radiance.

Under this radiance, the Divine Soul power he had just consumed from executing the Nirvana Soul Sword was recovering at an astonishing speed, becoming even more condensed and translucent. Some subtle hidden dangers and restlessness brought about by forcibly refining the chaos source core earlier were also quietly smoothed away by this peaceful force.

More importantly, a brand-new realization regarding the ”balance,” ”order,” and ”gestation” of the Chaos Dao flowed slowly into his heart like a warm spring, complementing his previous insights of ”inclusiveness,” ”assimilation,” and ”creating something from nothing,” making his understanding of Chaos more comprehensive and rounded.

Although his cultivation did not increase immediately, his Foundation was solidified to an unprecedented level of stability, and his understanding of his future path suddenly became clear.

This chaos primordial fetus was not a supreme treasure for directly increasing power, but a supreme auxiliary divine object for stabilizing the mind, nourishing the Divine Soul, and clarifying the Dao path!

He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the peace and enlightenment brought by the primordial fetus within his Sea of Consciousness, his heart clear and bright.

However, just as he was preparing to further explore this Chaos ruin palace— ”Crack... cr-crack...” A faint sound, like a mirror shattering, came from the Void Realm all around the palace.

Ye Chen looked up, only to see that the space of this dilapidated palace was actually beginning to develop tiny cracks! Having lost the suppression of the core object, the chaos primordial fetus, this ruin space, which was already on the verge of collapse, seemed... about to be completely annihilated!

He must leave immediately! Ye Chen’s gaze swept across the area, locking onto an ancient, dust-covered stone door deep within the palace that had previously been buried by ruins and was now revealed due to the spatial instability!

That might be the exit! He no longer hesitated, his figure turning into a stream of light as he shot straight toward that stone door!
