Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2405: Punishing the Spectral Elder

“This Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Goldensword Beast is truly astonishingly tough. It’s almost on the level of low quality god artifacts. I probably can’t kill it without using the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways or the Profound Sword Qi,” Jian Chen thought. Although his finger attack earlier did not seem special, it actually possessed his full strength.

This was the most powerful attack he could unleash when only using his Laws of the Sword.

However, he failed to injure the Goldensword Beast with that attack.

At the same time, the Goldensword Beast failed to injure Jian Chen as well.

“What strength. He can clash with a Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Goldensword Beast and emerge unscathed…”

“Mid Infinite Prime. This person’s at the peak of mid Infinite Prime at the very least, or maybe even late Infinite Prime…”

…

Everyone witnessed Jian Chen taking on the strike from the Goldensword Beast straight on, which immediately caused the Primordial realm experts who served the Float Empire to gasp. Their gazes towards Jian Chen underwent a drastic change.

Jian Chen’s Ultimate Way of the Sword was just too powerful. They were unable to tell Jian Chen’s exact cultivation level from his Laws of the Sword, but his battle prowess alone was enough to stun them all.

With such strength, he was the strongest expert on the spatial battleship aside from Yi Jianping.

To another side, the eyes of the Spectral Elder who had remained hidden the entire time narrowed slightly as well. The battle prowess that Jian Chen displayed just now surprised him as well.

At that moment, the hesitant Spectral Elder made up his mind; he decided to give up on assassinating Jian Chen.

However, just when the Spectral Elder was about to leave, a great sense of danger suddenly descended, immediately making his face change.

From behind him, a lightning fast streak of light directly approached.

The sword Qi was extremely fast. The reflection of the dazzling light rapidly expanded in the Spectral Elder’s pupils. The sharp presence had already locked onto him.

The Spectral Elder immediately felt like he could not dodge the attack. There was nowhere where he could go now that the sword Qi had locked onto him. He could only take it on forcefully.

What surprised the Spectral Elder the most was that before the sword Qi even arrived, it managed to influence the space around him, turning it into a domain of sword Qi in a single moment.

The invisible sword Qi seemed to be omnipresent, filling every inch of the space around him. Even the origin energy in outer space had been forcefully transformed into invisible sword Qi.

It was as if he would immediately face the attacks of the sword Qi with the slightest movement.

“What powerful sword intent!” The Spectral Elder shivered inside as he became extremely stern. A black sword immediately appeared in his hand. As a black streak of light, it silently attacked the incoming sword Qi.

The black sword was a low quality god artifact. As a Primordial realm expert who belonged to the Darkness clan that ranked third on the Jadefluid Plane, he obviously possessed a god artifact.

However, the presence of the god artifact was completely concealed, and none of it leaked out. It seemed to have fused with the darkness completely, stabbing out silently. It was very difficult to discover.

Boom!

With a heavy rumble, the Spectral Elder’s god artifact collided with the incoming sword Qi. He was immediately forced out of the darkness, becoming completely exposed.

The strand of sword Qi was extremely powerful. Although the Spectral Elder wielded a god artifact, he was unable to stop himself from being blown backwards after the clash.

“You can actually sense my existence?” The Spectral Elder did not try to hide any more. He hovered in outer space and stared at Jian Chen in the distance sternly. He was in emotional turmoil.

Not only did his secret technique hide him in space, but it even covered all his traces and presence as well. Even opponents with greater cultivation than him would struggle to discover his existence.

However, his secret technique was completely useless before Jian Chen.

Moreover, he had been exposed from so far away, which was absolutely shocking.

Jian Chen looked at the Spectral Elder and said, “You’ve been observing me secretly for so long. Was it just to watch me fight the Goldensword Beasts?”

The Spectral Elder was taken aback when he heard that. Disbelief filled his face, and he cried out, “Y- y- you actually found my presence long ago…”

Jian Chen took a single step and crossed the distance, arriving before the Spectral Elder instantly. He said emotionlessly, “You tailed me suspiciously. It looks like your Darkness clan wants to kill me.” With that, Jian Chen’s gaze gradually turned cold. “However, this is not the Jadefluid Plane. Your Darkness clan can act as they wish on the Jadefluid Plane, but your Darkness clan has no power in outer space.”

Light flickered on Jian Chen’s hand. With that, he directly sent a palm strike towards the Spectral Elder.

The palm strike contained his supreme sword intent. When he struck out, all the power in the surroundings seemed to become his, turning into omnipresent, invisible sword Qi.

The Spectral Elder’s face changed drastically. As he faced Jian Chen’s palm strike, he felt like he had completely sunken into a domain of sword Qi. Endless sword Qi surged towards him from all directions, forming a cage that locked him in.

Suddenly, the Spectral Elder bellowed out, and the Laws of Darkness surged from his body. The god artifact in his hand shone with dark light as well. He stabbed towards Jian Chen as hard as he could.

“Third Heavenly layer Infinite Prime. Even if you wield a god artifact, you aren’t my opponent,” Jian Chen said coldly. His Ultimate Way of the Sword was just too powerful, allowing him to possess battle prowess no weaker than a Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, and this was before he even used the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways.

In his eyes, the Spectral Elder was obviously not an opponent at the same level.

Bang!

With a grunt, the Spectral Elder was blown away. He immediately paled as bright red blood sprayed out from his mouth.

His body had become covered with dense sword slashes, covering him with wounds. He became completely bloody.

The sword wounds came from the domain. It was created by the omnipresent sword Qi.

“T- this person is actually so terrifying. That bastard Anye Jiuyou has screwed me over…” The Spectral Elder was extremely shocked. His gaze towards Jian Chen even bore a sliver of fear. He absolutely resented Anye Jiuyou.

Jian Chen was just too powerful, especially his terrifying Way of the Sword. Even when the Spectral Elder wielded a god artifact, he felt powerless inside. He could not fend off his opponent at all.

After all, the god artifact could give him a Heavenly Layer’s worth of strength at most, allowing him to possess the strength to fend off Fourth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes. Against Jian Chen, who was no weaker than the Sixth Heavenly Layer, a very large difference still existed.

“This time will only be a small punishment. If this happens a second time, don’t blame me for not showing mercy. Why don’t you hurry up and go deal with the Goldensword Beasts?” Jian Chen barked. He did not attack the Spectral Elder anymore. He turned around and charged towards the Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Goldensword Beast.

The Spectral Elder, on the other hand, watched Jian Chen leave with mixed feelings. When he calmed down, he also charged towards a Goldensword Beast. He worked with one of the protectors of the spatial battleship against them.

However, he maintained a relatively great distance from Jian Chen the entire time. Clearly, he still feared Jian Chen very much.
