System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

218: Resonance of Power, Nine-Headed Crocodile DragonAhead lay an indestructible Domain of Might; behind, the Nine-Headed Crocodile Dragon with its monstrous ferocity! In an instant, Ye Chen was trapped in a lethal predicament!

The Nine-Headed Crocodile Dragon clearly viewed Ye Chen as ”prey” just like that fragment of power, its eighteen vertical pupils flickering with cruel and greedy light.

Its massive body churned the Nirvana waters of the Ancient River of Buried Stars, whipping up towering black waves. Nine giant maws opened simultaneously, not to bite, but to spew nine torrents of destructive energy, each of a different color, yet all containing attributes of corrosion, freezing, tearing, and soul poison, sealing off all of Ye Chen’s escape routes!

This enraged strike from a Peak eighth-stage Tiangang Realm beast possessed enough power to instantly cripple or even kill a Cultivator of the same rank!

There was no avoiding it! And he could not avoid it! Behind him lay that dark golden skeleton and the power fragment; if he retreated, not only would all his previous efforts be wasted, but the fragment might also be damaged by the aftermath of the Crocodile Dragon’s attack!

”You seek death!”

A cold glint erupted in Ye Chen’s eyes, and his Battle Intent soared to the heavens! Instead of retreating, he stepped forward, meeting the nine destructive torrents head-on!

This step felt as if he had trodden upon the very pulse of the earth! His Chaos Domain suddenly contracted, concentrating at the tip of his guixu sword!

He did not use any flashy sword techniques. Instead, he forcibly fused the trace of the ”True Meaning of Might” he had just comprehended while resonating with the Domain of Might with his own Chaos power and Nirvana Sword Intent!

”Extreme of Might, Break All Laws! Chaos—Space Splitter!”

He gripped the sword with both hands and delivered a simple, direct slash!

In that instant, the guixu sword seemed to become billions of jun heavier. As the blade traced its path, space itself let out a distorted groan, unable to bear the weight!

A gray-black sword qi, condensed to the extreme and appearing to be formed from the pure Law of ”Might,” was slashed out fiercely like a giant axe splitting the heavens and earth!

The sword qi collided violently with the nine torrents of energy!

”Boom—!!!”

An earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the Ancient River of Buried Stars! The energy shockwave spread wildly in all directions like a circular tsunami, pulverizing the surrounding star fragments into dust! A massive void was evaporated in the waters of the Ancient River of Buried Stars, unable to close for a long time!

Faced with the Space Splitter sword qi, which contained the extreme intent of Might and the Chaos Origin, those nine destructive torrents of varying attributes were slashed apart as if they were fragile glass, scattering and exploding!

The momentum of the sword qi diminished slightly, but it still carried an unstoppable, domineering power as it slashed fiercely onto the head of the Crocodile Dragon leading the charge!

”Pfft!”

A dull thud of a blade cutting into leather rang out! That mountain-like, hideous head was actually split open by more than half by this single sword strike! Dark red, foul-smelling blood gushed out like a waterfall, dyeing the surrounding river water red!

”Awoo—!!!”

The injured Crocodile Dragon let out a painful and furious howl. The remaining eight heads thrashed even more wildly, their gaze toward Ye Chen filled with bloodthirsty Battle Intent! It had not expected this seemingly insignificant human to possess such terrifying power!

Ye Chen stood holding his sword, panting slightly. That strike had appeared domineering, but it had consumed a massive amount of energy, and the forced Fusion of the not-yet-fully-mastered True Meaning of Might had put a certain burden on himself. Yet, his eyes remained cold, and his Battle Intent burned like fire.

This Nine-Headed Crocodile Dragon had thick skin and flesh, and its vitality was extremely tenacious. That sword strike had not been able to kill it completely; instead, it had thoroughly enraged it.

”Roar!” ”Roar!” ”Roar!”

The eight intact heads opened their giant maws once more. This time, they did not spew energy, but instead invoked the power of the Ancient River of Buried Stars itself! The endless Nirvana river water seemed to be summoned, gathering into eight black water tornadoes that coiled around the eight heads, exuding a terrifying aura that annihilated everything! Even the injured head struggled to invoke the river water, forming a ninth, slightly smaller water tornado!

The nine water tornadoes of the Ancient River of Buried Stars, like nine world-destroying demonic dragons, locked onto Ye Chen. Bearing the Nirvana might capable of burying stars, they swept in with a roar! Their power was many times greater than the previous energy breath!

This time, Ye Chen did not choose to face it head-on.

He narrowed his eyes, and his figure suddenly became illusory! Activating both Chaos Limitless Steps and the Law of Space simultaneously, he no longer contended with the Crocodile Dragon head-on, but instead moved like a ghost, weaving and flickering through the gaps between those nine destructive water tornadoes!

His target was not the Crocodile Dragon itself, but... the Domain of Might surrounding that dark golden skeleton!

”Borrowing your power to break your Domain!”

An extremely bold idea flashed through his mind. He wanted to use the Nine-Headed Crocodile Dragon’s attack to blast open that layer of solid barrier of the Domain of Might!

His figure moved like lightning, leading the nine relentless water tornadoes of the Ancient River of Buried Stars, dashing toward the direction of the Domain of Might in a perilous manner!

”Boom!!!”

The first water tornado slammed fiercely against the invisible barrier of the Domain of Might! That overbearing and domineering force field shuddered slightly, shattering most of the water tornado, but it also rippled violently itself!

It worked!

Ye Chen’s spirits lifted, and his figure shifted, leading the second and third water tornadoes to crash into the Domain barrier one after another!

”Boom, boom, boom—!!!”

The continuous crashing sounds were like thunder from the Nine Heavens! Under the enraged, frenzied attacks of the Nine-Headed Crocodile Dragon, the Domain of Might fluctuated violently, and that layer of invisible barrier became thinner and dimmer at a speed visible to the naked eye! At the center of the Domain, that dark golden skeleton seemed to vibrate slightly, and the light from the power fragment tightly gripped in its hand flickered rapidly!

”Now is the time!”

Just as the final, and thickest, water tornado was about to crash into the Domain barrier, a sharp light erupted in Ye Chen’s eyes! He no longer dodged, but poured all his mind and power into the guixu sword, invoking the deepest craving and resonance of the chaos ancestral talisman within his Qi Sea for the authority of ”Might”!

He was not attacking the Domain, nor was he attacking the Crocodile Dragon. Instead, he pointed the tip of his sword with absolute precision at the core point of the Domain of Might’s barrier, where the fluctuations were most intense and the connection to the fragment was tightest!

”Chaos as the guide, Resonance of Might—Open!”

”Hum—!!!”

A strange, resonant ripple emanated from the tip of the guixu sword, creating a mysterious and profound connection with the power fragment and the Law of Might remaining in the dark golden skeleton!

The Domain of Might, originally incomparably solid and repulsive to external objects, actually produced a subtle ”acceptance” of Ye Chen’s sword strike under the guidance of this homologous resonance!

And in that very instant, the final water tornado of the Ancient River of Buried Stars slammed fiercely against the Domain barrier!

”Crack—!!!”

A crisp sound like shattering glass! That layer of the Domain of Might, which had guarded for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, finally... shattered under the dual impact of internal resonance and external brute force!

The violent Nirvana river water mixed with the chaotic energy of the shattered Domain, forming a destructive shockwave that sent the Nine-Headed Crocodile Dragon, which was following closely behind, tumbling away with an angry roar.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, utilizing this chaotic impact force and the instantly opened passage, moved like lightning, instantly piercing through the shattered Domain and appearing before that dark golden skeleton!

He didn’t even have time to glance at the skeleton; his gaze was locked tightly onto the Chaos crystal, which was covered in cracks yet radiated a power fluctuation that made one’s heart tremble!

He reached out, grabbing for the power fragment!

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the fragment—

A sudden change occurred!

Within the hollow eye sockets of the dark golden skeleton, which had been sitting motionless, two golden flames suddenly ignited! A terrifying power of will, far more condensed and domineering than before, as if it could shatter the galaxy with a single punch, awakened with a boom. Like an overlord who had slept for eternity, it coldly ”looked” at Ye Chen!

At the same time, a fragmented, yet supremely majestic consciousness exploded in Ye Chen’s mind like a thunderclap:

”Junior of later generations... how dare you... disturb... the slumber... of the Might Venerable...”

”Coveting... the Origin of Might... shall receive... the Judgment of Might...”

That dark golden skeleton actually still retained such a powerful fighting will!

Ahead, the remnant soul of the Might Venerable had awakened; behind, the Nine-Headed Crocodile Dragon was about to pounce again!

A true life-or-death crisis had arrived at this very moment!
