Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2358: Attempting the Path of Swords

Jian Chen was cold. He knew that he had caught his opponent off-guard the first time, so he had managed to knock him away while he was still ignorant of the Anatta Tower’s force.

However, he definitely could not use the same method twice.

It was extremely likely for the Anatta Tower to be taken away.

Jian Chen pulled back the Anatta Tower, clutching it in his hand as he rapidly retreated.

The hand condensed from terrifying energy reached over with a supreme pressure. Wherever it passed by, space froze up and the laws paused. It moved towards Jian Chen with great speed such that he was unable to condense his Laws of the Sword. All the laws he grasped were affected, and he was unable to use them like normal.

The ancestral emperor’s attack could affect space and interfere with the operation of the laws. This was how terrifying a Grand Prime was.

Even though they were nowhere close to Grand Exalts, who had basically become a part of the laws, they had still comprehended the laws to an extremely deep level as Grand Primes. They could use a part of their powers.

As a result, when the ancestral emperor of the Daohuang Empire struck out, Jian Chen felt like he was facing the world, as if what targeted him was the world he currently resided in. Even all of his laws had been restrained.

However, Jian Chen did not become flustered at all. With a thought, he used the power of the Anatta Tower. Immediately, it destroyed Jian Chen’s restraints and enveloped him.

Jian Chen isolated himself from the world with the power of the Anatta Tower, allowing him to become immune to the restraints. With a flash, he retreated to several hundred metres away, arriving in the central square of the bustling city.

Currently, the central square had been reduced to a mess. All the structures had collapsed into ruins. The entire place had basically been flattened by the shockwaves from the battle.

The protective formation of the Daohuang Empire did not protect this city. Instead, it gathered a certain range away from the city, locking the place up to prevent the shockwaves from spreading out and causing even greater damage.

Too many peak experts had gathered here. As a result, even the protective formation for the entire empire was unable to block all of it. If something happened to the formation, they would lose something even more important than what they were trying to protect.

However, two places remained unaffected in the ruined square.

The first place was the teleportation formation across planes. This was one of the most valuable properties of the Daohuang Empire, and it had been rather difficult to construct. As a result, it received the most protection.

The other place was a flight of stairs constructed from sword Qi.

This was the Path of Swords constructed by the greatest expert of the Desolate Plane, the Celestial Sword Saint. It was also unscathed. All the shockwaves seemed to be cut in half by an invisible sword when they approached the Path of Swords, redirected into two streams.

Jian Chen had already arrived beside the Path of Swords.

He glanced at the peak experts gathered in the surroundings before looking at the colossal bird that blotted out the sky. Determination appeared in his eyes, and he set foot on the Path of Swords boldly.

Immediately, Jian Chen became wrapped up by powerful sword Qi. He was already standing on the first step of the Path of Swords.

The face of the ancestral emperor changed. He immediately stopped, staring at Jian Chen from a hundred metres away. He was expressionless.

The Path of Swords had been laid down by the Celestial Sword Saint to find a successor. It was rumoured that if someone made it to the end of the Path of Swords, they would have the opportunity to become the Celestial Sword Saint’s disciple.

Once someone set foot on the Path of Swords, the test laid down by the Celestial Sword Saint would formally begin. The ancestral emperor of the Daohuang Empire did not dare to continue his attacks.

“Jian Chen has actually made it onto the Path of Swords…”

“Oh no. Jian Chen focuses on cultivating the Way of the Sword, and his talent is rather extraordinary. If he passes the Celestial Sword Saint’s test and becomes his disciple, we won’t have any opportunities left…”

The peak experts who were keeping Hun Zang busy paid attention to Jian Chen’s situation at all times. Now, they all cried out with ugly expressions. Some of them even blamed the ancestral emperor.

“Don’t worry. He can’t pass the Celestial Sword Saint’s test. Do you know how strict the Celestial Sword Saint is with his selection? How can he pass the test personally set down by the Celestial Sword Saint so easily…” said a peak expert.

At this moment, there was a flash, and the hall elder of the God clan, Tyne, as well as the old man from the Heaven-splitting clan, Tu San, returned.

They were both in a rather messy shape. No one knew the result of their battle.

“He is actually attempting the Path of Swords! Tyne stared at the hazy figure surrounded by sword Qi on the Path of Swords and frowned. Then she muttered, “Though, that might be the best choice right now.”

However, Tu San’s face was sunken. He glared at Tyne and said coldly, “Your God clan has gotten in the way of an important matter of my master. You’ve made my master wait even longer. Your God clan better consider the consequences of offending my master.”

Tyne’s eyes turned cold and she replied icily, “If your Heaven-splitting clan has the ability, come find our God clan on the Godnigma Plane.”

“Hmph. Master is only a step away from that level of cultivation. Once my master breaks through, I would like to see how your God clan plans on continue acting arrogantly,” Tu San snorted coldly, as if he disdained Tyne’s words.

At this moment, the battle between Hun Zang and the peak experts stopped as well as Jian Chen set foot on the Path of Sword. He glanced at Jian Chen before looking at outer space. His gaze was extremely shocking.

“Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance!” Suddenly, Hun Zang bellowed out furiously, and he suddenly vanished. When he appeared again, he was on the Martial Soul Mountain.

“Martial Soul Array!” Hun Zang bellowed out and fell into formation with the six other people on the Martial Soul Mountain again. Their powers were poured together once more, completely merging with the power from the Martial Soul Mountain. Powerful Martial Soul Force swept out like a shocking wave towards the Azure Peng King.

The Martial Soul Force came from the seven of them. It was no longer scattered. Instead, it was concentrated on a single point. It was extremely terrifying.

The Azure Peng King who had been constantly attacking the Martial Soul Mountain showed some fear. With a flash, he retreated to billions of kilometres away, avoiding the range of the Martial Soul Mountain’s attack.

Hun Zang and the six others stood with sunken faces on the Martial Soul Mountain. The Azure Peng King was just too fast. Their attacks with Martial Soul Force could not land, so there was nothing that they could do about him.

“Jian Chen must die. None of you can protect him. If your Martial Soul lineage dares to help Jian Chen again, I’ll kill you all as well. Unless you stay on the Martial Soul Mountain for your entire lives like cowards, you won’t be able to avoid being hunted down,” the Azure Peng King said coldly with sharp killing intent.

Afterwards, the Azure Peng King looked at the Desolate Plane, at Jian Chen who had already stepped onto the Path of Swords. A cold intent appeared in his eyes, and in the next moment, he plucked one of his azure feathers and threw it. Like a bolt of lightning, the feather shot towards the Desolate Plane with great speed. It crossed a huge distance in a single instance, arriving above the Path of Swords and shooting towards Jian Chen with devastating power.
