Chaotic Sword God

On the battlefield, Jian Chen and Tian Changji were like ghosts, flickering around at high speeds. Whenever they met, it would be accompanied with deafening booms. From time to time, droplets of red blood would spray out, filled with pure energy. They stood out like rubies.

The two of them had already clashed hundreds of times with lightning speed. They were fiercely locked in battle.

Boom!

Finally, with a startling rumble, the two of them separated. They retreated rapidly at the same time.

Between them, sharp sword Qi scattered off into the surroundings with a violent storm of energy, shaking the space violently.

Jian Chen’s Heaven-lifting sword continued to shine brightly. It churned with light. His clothes were torn to shreds, revealing large chunks of skin. Slashes covered his entire body, leaving behind vicious wounds.

While his injuries seemed quite deep, Jian Chen’s presence did not weaken at all. Instead, it grew. The startling battle intent he gave off made it seem like he would not stop until his opponent fell before him.

On the other side, Tian Changji had lost his usual demeanour. He was disheveled, and his clothes were also in tatters. He had vicious slashes on him, and he seemed no better than Jian Chen.

“Your strength is much greater than what Xia Mingtian described.” Tian Changji stared at Jian Chen closely and emphasised each word.

In reality, he was nowhere near as calm as he seemed on the surface. In the past, he had learnt all about Jian Chen’s strength from Xia Mingtian. In his knowledge, the reason why Jian Chen could defeat Xia Mingtian was almost entirely due to a treasure that healed him rapidly.

With the rapid recovery of his injuries and an unguardable secret technique, he fought a battle of attrition against Xia Mingtian, forcefully outlasting his opponent.

Yet right now, neither the rapid regeneration nor the unguardable secret technique had appeared. Jian Chen used his strength alone to fight him to such an extent, which left Tian Changji shocked.

“That’s because my strength has increased over the years,” Jian Chen said calmly. There was indeed a tremendous difference in strength right now compared to back then in the Observance Heaven City.

In the Observance Heaven City, he had used a medium quality god artifact. Now, he had switched it out for a high quality god artifact, the Heaven-lifting sword!

Powered by Chaotic Force, the power of the high quality god artifact was maximised. Just that alone allowed him to challenge those stronger than him.

That was only the first factor. The second factor was the many stone tablets from the Skyscraping Sword Venerable he had comprehended over the years. Although he did not break through with the Way of the Sword, his understanding and comprehension was still above the level it once was.

Tian Changji was stern. He was no longer as relaxed as before. He had already realised that despite the low cultivation of his opponent, he was definitely a tough enemy.

In the next moment, he formed seals with both hands. Powerful energy rushed out of his body, immediately condensing into a pair of lustrous wings. Afterwards, it turned into a pair of blades that slashed towards Jian Chen with terrifying might.

At the same time, Jian Chen slashed out with his Heaven-lifting sword. When he slashed out, his forearm and the Heaven-lifting sword seemed to merge into space, vanishing from view.

Tian Changji’s eyes narrowed. He recalled Xia Mingtian’s description, and his vigilance immediately peaked. He did not dare to hold back any more. A layer of leather armour covered his body, forming a powerful defensive barrier.

The leather armour was anything but ordinary. It was a high quality god artifact!

“I’d like to see if my Heavenly Kylin Armour can block your strange secret technique or not!” Tian Changji was not convinced. He powered his armour with his full strength.

But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically. His eyes narrowed violently, filled with disbelief.

A powerful strand of sword Qi appeared out of nowhere inside his body. When the sword Qi exploded, his organs were torn to shreds like fragile paper.

Spurt! Tian Changji’s mouth sprayed with blood. He turned sheet-white.

“This secret technique is actually even more powerful than what Xia Mingtian described.” Tian Changji was shocked. A dense, green light enveloped him. He immediately used the power of the Laws of Wood to heal himself.

Jian Chen was also struck by Tian Changji’s secret technique. The two blade-like wings formed a deep gash on his chest. He was launched away, slamming heavily into the rocks behind him.

But shortly afterwards, Jian Chen stood back up like nothing had happened at all. His injuries closed up at a visible rate, making a complete recovery very quickly.

When he saw how Jian Chen was unscathed again, Tian Changji could not help but gasp deeply. “Xia Mingtian wasn’t lying. You indeed possess a treasure that can allow you to recover quickly. However, I’m certain your regeneration is limited at the end of the day. It can’t be limitless.”

Tian Changji stowed the folding fan away. His eyes were filled with determination. In the next moment, his presence climbed, instantly surpassing his peak condition.

He was igniting his essence blood, burning his foundations to use a terrifying secret technique.

“Divine Court of Ascension!” Suddenly, Tian Changji bellowed out furiously. His face rapidly paled, becoming haggard, but his pressure grew stronger and stronger. It grew so powerful that it stirred up the clouds in the sky, kicking up sand and dust.

As he used the Divine Court of Ascension, a dazzling ball of light appeared above Tian Changji’s head. It illuminated the world like a sun. It was too bright to look at directly.

Under the dazzling light, a dense cluster of structures seemed to manifest. Numerous tall figures sat on them, surging with pressure and giving off an extraordinary aura of valiance.

The Divine Court of Ascension was an ultimate technique of the Immortal Feather sect. Under normal circumstances, only Immortal Exalt ancestors could grasp it. It was extremely powerful.

Jian Chen was stern. He had witnessed this technique when he fought against Xia Mingtian in the Observance Heaven City. He knew exactly how powerful it was. If it were not for the Source of Life, the only way he could have dealt with it was with the Profound Sword Qi to forcefully interrupt it.

Shortly afterwards, a restraining force that Jian Chen was familiar with appeared. The might of the Divine Court of Ascension manifested. It seemed to rewrite the ways and set the laws, turning the space into Tian Changji’s domain. Jian Chen was immobilised.

Afterwards, Jian Chen went through the same experience that he had encountered in the Observance Heaven City. The illusionary figures struck out one by one, launching devastating attacks at Jian Chen.

Each attack possessed terrifying power. Not only could it easily kill Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors, but even First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts would face tremendous danger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jian Chen was immobilised, forcefully enduring this devastating barrage of attacks. It left him bloodied and bruised. His body was like a piece of porcelain, covered in countless cracks. He seemed like he could collapse at any time.
