Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3436: Intentions Revealed

The Heartless Child grinned at Jian Chen. He seemed like a harmless child.

However, Jian Chen’s expression changed drastically. His face immediately sank as he said, “You should also be aware that without the protection of the Source of Life, a sovereign god artifact, there’s only one fate awaiting me in the chaotic sea given my strength—certain death.”

The Heartless Child nodded in much agreement and chuckled. “That’s right. Without a sovereign god artifact, even I can’t survive here, let alone you with your puny bit of strength.”

Reaching there, the Heartless Child paused, and his voice gradually turned cold. “But, what does your fate have to do with me?”

“Senior, do you really want to eternally doom me in the chaotic sea?” Jian Chen asked sternly.

The Heartless Child laughed aloud. “Jian Chen, oh Jian Chen, I don’t even know what to say. You refuse to remain in such a comfortable and safe place like the Saints’ World and just insist on coming to the chaotic sea beyond the world boundary.”

“If you were in the Saints’ World, I’d really be unable to do anything to you. Even if you revealed the sovereign god artifact from the Wood Spirits, I wouldn’t have the courage to steal it. I’d only be able to watch on helplessly. However, you just happen to have come to the chaotic sea. I have no qualms in the chaotic sea.”

A strange light immediately flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes when he heard that. He stared at the Heartless Child closely and said sternly, “Why aren’t you bold enough to go after me in the Saints’ World? Don’t tell me you found out the fact that I’m a fruit of ways a long time ago?”

“Hmm? Seems like you already know your purpose. I see. No wonder you would appear in the chaotic sea. You’ve already found out that you’re the Anatta Grand Exalt’s fruit of ways, which is why you’re fleeing from the Saints’ World and planning to go to the Immortals’ World.” The Heartless Child snickered.

Jian Chen’s expression became quite strange. Through what the Heartless Child had said, he immediately realised that the Heartless Child had already remained in the chaotic sea for a very long time. His knowledge was severely limited. He was completely unaware of everything that had happened in the Saints’ World recently.

Otherwise, he would never say something like that.

After all, the fact that he was the Anatta Grand Exalt’s fruit of ways had ceased to be some kind of secret in the Saints’ World. All the peak experts knew about that.

“There’s something else that’s left me puzzled for a very long time.” The Heartless Child’s gaze immediately sharpened as if he wanted to see through all of Jian Chen’s secrets. “That year, when I sent you to where the Wind Venerable resided, how did you survive?”

When he mentioned this, the Heartless Child ground his teeth in hatred. He even showed an additional sense of hatred towards Jian Chen.

“You want to know? That’s possible, but I have a condition,” said Jian Chen. After considering his situation, he discovered that there was actually nothing he could do to fend off the Heartless Child.

Not only was the Heartless Child an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, but he also had a sovereign god artifact protecting him. Under these circumstances, even if he managed to fuse the swords, he did not think he could harm him.

Fusing the swords required charging up as well. The Heartless Child was not foolish enough to just stand there and let him hit him.

“Conditions? Hahahaha, you actually still have the courage to talk about conditions with me?” The Heartless Child seemed to be set off. His face immediately became twisted. “Jian Chen, do you know why I’m in the chaotic sea? It’s because of you. It’s all because of you.”

“Because of me?” Jian Chen was taken aback, sinking into his thoughts.

“Yes, it’s because of you. It’s all because of you.” The Heartless Child recalled a period of that past that he could not bear to think of and immediately roared viciously, grinding his teeth with great resentment and hatred, “Why didn’t you die to the Wind Venerable back then? If you died, would I have ended up like this, searching arduously for something that can fend off the Wind Venerable in the chaotic sea?”

“If you died, our Myriad Bone Guild would have been truly free of worries. We would not have been under such unprecedented danger.”

“But-but-but you actually didn’t die…”

“The most unforgivable part of this all was not only did you survive, but you actually hid away, giving us brothers the impression that you were already dead and forcing the two of us to wait such a long time foolishly in anticipation.”

The Heartless Child’s chest heaved. His emotions fluctuated violently, staring at Jian Chen viciously. He gnashed his teeth. “Jian Chen, you’ve probably yet to experience the sensation of falling from heaven to hell, but that was what we felt back then. All of this was caused by you. That feeling is extremely deep. It’s unforgettable.”

“Despicable, it’s truly despicable that I, a mighty Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, someone who can summon clouds with a flick of my wrist in the Saints’ World, was actually fooled by an ant-like weakling like you. This is a stain, a stain of great humiliation.”

The Heartless Child became more emotional and wrathful the more he spoke. In the end, he was unable to hold back his anger, letting out a furious roar and directly throwing a punch at Jian Chen from afar.

Immediately, the power of an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime erupted. Even though it was insignificant compared to Grand Exalts, it was still devastating in Jian Chen’s eyes.

Jian Chen became unprecedentedly stern. The high quality god artifact, the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, immediately appeared on his body. His Chaotic Force surged into the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, raising a protective barrier around him.

At the same time, the screen of light from the Source of Life became even more resplendent. All Jian Chen could do was passively defend against the Heartless Child’s attack.

Boom!

With a great rumble, the Heartless Child’s punch landed on the screen of light from the Source of Life, which immediately made it shake violently. All of the Chaotic Force that Jian Chen had channelled into the Source of Life was instantly depleted.

Without the support of this energy, the screen of light from the Source of Life immediately dispersed.

However, the Source of Life managed to waste away over half of the power behind the punch. The remaining forty percent turned into a vicious dragon that slammed against Jian Chen mercilessly.

The Divine Armour of Heavenflight on Jian Chen immediately dimmed. Blood sprayed from his mouth with a large number of organ fragments. His body was knocked away.

Weakened by both the Source of Life and the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, he withstood the furious strike of an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, but he also ended up heavily injured.

If it were not for the fact that his Chaotic Body had already broken through to the seventeenth layer, he would probably fail to withstand this attack from the Heartless Child.

After all, he was directly facing an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime this time. The threat was even greater than when he faced the Divine Spear of World Destruction in the past.

“How infuriating. How infuriating. It’s all your fault. It’s all your fault that I’m out of Myriad Source Qi. Apart from healing you right now, I don’t have any spare strength to stop this guy,” the artifact spirit of the Source of Life grumbled again and again. Extremely pure life force was channelled into his body.

Immediately, the severe injuries that Jian Chen had just sustained began to heal at an unbelievable rate.

In only a few seconds, he made a complete recovery.

As soon as he recovered, Jian Chen channelled Chaotic Force into the Source of Life, barely erecting a barrier that isolated him from the threats of the chaotic sea.

“You’ve recovered this quickly? Now that truly is the Source of Life.” The Heartless Child strolled through the chaotic sea with the Sceptre of Life over his head. He smiled viciously as he rapidly approached Jian Chen. “Though, that’s fine. I only need a few seconds to kill you several hundred times. Even if you have the Source of Life healing you, that won’t change your final outcome.”

“The difference between you and me is far too great.”

“Sceptre of Life, how can you follow someone like him? You’re acting against me like this. What are you waiting for? Get over here.” At this moment, the artifact spirit of the Source of Life began to call out with a furious, surprised, delighted, and slightly authoritative tone.

However, the Sceptre of Life did not respond.

The Heartless Child held the Sceptre of Life in his hand and smiled eerily and charmingly. “It’s useless. The original artifact spirit of the Sceptre of Life has already dispersed. The new artifact spirit was nurtured by our Myriad Bone Guild after a tremendous cost. Why would it listen to your orders?”
