Chaotic Sword God

At the same time, the Jade Heaven Ruler, the Heaven Fighting Ruler, the Mayhemless Heavenly King, the Deadwood Heavenly King, Yongxi Lantian, Jiang Zhantian, Guan Wuchi, Shui Hen, and the Deep Mountain Elder demonstrated extreme fear in their eyes as well.

Their control over their bodies, blood flow, energy, and even the laws had all been sealed away. The only thing that remained unaffected was their thought processes.

In the Wood Spirits World, they were paramount existences. Even if they could not dominate the entire world, they still stood above billions.

But at this moment, they had actually all been immobilised. The power that invaded the Source of Life was so frightening that it made them fear for their lives.

“A sovereign of the Saints’ World. Is this a sovereign of the Saints’ World? We really are even less than ants in the eyes of sovereigns.”

At this moment, the nine experts who only knew sovereigns of a world through rumours finally witnessed the strength of one.

Moreover, that was only the tip of the iceberg.

It might have even been less than that.

“T-t-this is the force of the world.” Jian Chen’s response was instead completely different from the nine experts. As someone who had seen his fair share of Grand Exalts, he had already witnessed what they were capable of.

However, he basically recognised the force that infiltrated the Source of Life instantly. It was a force of the world that he found to be extremely familiar, one that had even brought him warmth. It left him with extremely mixed feelings.

“Senior Feng. This is Senior Feng’s power. D-don’t tell me senior Feng has always been watching over me from the outside while keeping an eye on me during the time I spent in the Wood Spirits World?” Jian Chen immediately understood everything. A sense of warmth immediately filled his heart.

At that moment, he realised that the Wind Venerable had been watching over from outside ever since he sent him into the Wood Spirits World. Even the experts of the Saints’ World who attacked the Source of Life had probably been drawn over intentionally by the Wind Venerable.

His ultimate objective in drawing these experts over was to create a sense of urgency for the artifact spirit, forcing it to choose a master!

After all, the artifact spirit had only just awakened, so it was feeble. The experts outside were incapable of destroying the Source of Life, but they could deplete its energy. Once the Source of Life ran out of energy, it would not be able to protect the Wood Spirits World anymore.

As a result, if the Source of Life wanted to protect the billions of Wood Spirits clansmen, it would be forced to choose a master. Then its new master could stow the Wood Spirits World away in a spatial god artifact and use its last bit of power to take its new master away.

The Source of Life was not a spatial god artifact. Due to its special characteristics, it could not take anyone away with it. Choosing a master was its only choice.

That was what had happened in the end too. The threats from the outside world forced it to choose a master.

However, the person it had chosen in the very end was a Wood Spirit.

“Senior Feng, you said in the past that the Wood Spirits are a part of the Spiritsages, so I can only obtain the sovereign god artifact through my own abilities. It’s inappropriate for you to interfere…”

“That’s because you’re the paramount figure of the Wood Spirits. You need to care for your clansmen, so you can’t bestow sovereign god artifacts of your clansmen to outsiders…”

“Yet you still ended up interfering…”

At this moment, Jian Chen felt extremely mixed inside. Of all the times the Wind Venerable could have interfered, he just happened to select the time when the Source of Life had chosen Yongxi Lantian. Jian Chen was all too familiar with what that implied.

He was clearly stopping the Source of Life from choosing a master!

“Senior Feng has been secretly watching everything from the outside. He probably would not have just stopped Yongxi Lantian. Senior Feng probably would have interfered at the critical moment as well when the Jade Heaven Ruler was chosen.”

“It was just that the Jade Heaven Ruler never considered becoming its master…”

After realising this, tears began to roll down Jian Chen’s cheeks.

“No, this is the presence of the Spirits’ World. Y-you’re not a sovereign of the Saints’ World. You’re a sovereign of the Spirits’ World?” At this moment, the Source of Life also sensed the familiar presence. Its fear gradually vanished, replaced by shock and surprise.

At this moment, the invading force of the world fell mightily and immediately enveloped the artifact spirit of the Source of Life.

Immediately, the artifact spirit vanished. Only the force of the world remained, sealing up the space and severing time, leaving everything frozen.

At this moment, the nine experts returned to their senses as well. Their bodies were immobilised, but their thoughts were very active.

There really had been a lot of twists and turns that had occurred here. First, the spirit of the ancestral artifact had awakened, and then they were attacked by experts of the Saints’ World, threatening the survival of the Wood Spirits World.

For the sake of protecting the Wood Spirits, the artifact spirit was forced to choose a master, yet at this moment, a sovereign had suddenly appeared.

The experts of the Wood Spirits were left in a trance as if they were slowly digesting everything that was happening here. However, the ancestor of the Yongxi clan was panicking right now.

The spirit of the ancestral artifact was already prepared to choose him as its master. He was about to become the wielder of the sovereign god artifact, yet at this critical moment, the artifact spirit vanished.

The artifact spirit had vanished. It was truly gone. When the force of the world descended, the artifact spirit disappeared before everyone’s eyes, which made Yongxi Lantian’s dream of controlling the sovereign god artifact and becoming the true leader of the Wood Spirits World burst like a bubble.

At this moment, within the force of the world that no one could see through, a beautiful woman around the age of twenty stood gracefully. She was in green clothes and had a smear of fear in the depths of her eyes.

She was the artifact spirit of the Source of Life.

Before her sat an old man in a simple gown. The old man had a very large figure, which made him seem very burly, but his face was filled with kindness, giving off a sense of friendliness.

“Are you the only sovereign of the Spirits’ World right now? But that doesn’t make sense. You don’t look like a living being. A-are you that fetal membrane of the world? But that doesn’t make sense either. Strange. What are you right now?” The artifact spirit of the Source of Life studied the old man before it curiously.

The old man smiled and said gently, “I once was a part of the Artifact Soul race. Afterwards, I embarked on a path of my own and merged with the fetal membrane of the world, which made me a sovereign.”

“Before I became a sovereign, the people called me the Wind Venerable. Now, my title is the Wind Sovereign!”

“You’re from the Artifact Soul race? I see.” The artifact spirit came to a realization, but it soon became cautious, staring at the Wind Venerable and asking, “Why did you stop me? And what exactly are you after for invading my world?”

“My goal is very simple. I just want you to find a master.” When he reached there, the Wind Venerable sighed gently. He gave off a sense of helplessness and continued, “Originally, it was not particularly appropriate for me to interfere with this. I never considered interfering either. However, given the developments, it’s difficult even if I don’t want to interfere.”

When it heard that, the artifact spirit’s expression changed drastically. It immediately backed far away and cried out, “Y-you’ve come for Jian Chen?”
