Chaotic Sword God

This time, the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall really began to panic. It had almost used all of its energy to escape from the Saint last time. In the end, it became so feeble that it could not even use its basic powers to bring Jian Chen here.

It had finally managed to recover some meagre strength, and it was only able to bring Jian Chen here through the World of Grand Clarity after quite some difficulty.

Now that it faced a powerful Saint again, the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall immediately felt like it was facing its doom.

The Primeval Divine Hall was a complete sovereign god artifact, but it had constantly been suppressed by the Dao Union Saint's curse. The divine hall's powers were constantly being depleted, such that it was not as powerful as it once was.

It was already utterly exhausted from escaping the hands of the Saint last time. Now that it encountered a Saint again, the Primeval Divine Hall felt great despair.

In the next moment, the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall vanished. Swept away by the Primeval Divine Hall's power, Jian Chen was also transported inside.

At the same time, the Saint's pressure pressed closer, flooding the surroundings. Just the devastating pressure alone made the space where the Primeval Divine Hall resided shake violently and collapse as great swathes.

Immediately, the world seemed to be approaching its end, sinking into darkness. The Primeval Divine Hall shook violently, and the curse from the Dao Union Saint began to manifest as well. A power that belonged to the Dao Union Saint seemed to awaken.

However, after countless years of corrosion, coupled with the damage from facing this Saint in the past, the curse had already become as feeble as a candle in the flame. How was it supposed to contend against an actual Saint?

The power from the Dao Union Saint's curse rapidly vanished.

At the same time, the Primeval Divine Hall erupted with light, becoming as dazzling and blinding as the sun.

However, the light just seemed to give off an appearance of strength. It was actually feeble.

The artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall was using its last bit of power in an attempt to escape from here.

The chances were extremely slim, but it could not simply accept its fate. Even if it used up the last bit of its power, it had to strive for a chance at survival.

Suddenly, the space there froze and everything sank into silence. Everything had been frozen at that instant. The entire world and space was sealed by the great power of the sovereign.

The Primeval Divine Hall became trapped as well, unable to break free.

Afterwards, the sky shattered, and the space collapsed. The entire world sank into darkness. The dark space was like a terrifying, huge mouth, swallowing everything mercilessly.

Whether it was space, light, any energy or substance, it was all swallowed by the colossal mouth of darkness.

Even wisps of the curse from the Dao Union Saint around the Primeval Divine Hall was unable to escape the fate of being devoured.

For a moment, the curse around the Primeval Divine Hall weakened at a visible rate.

"T-this is the Laws of Devouring. Once I'm devoured, it's completely over. Even ultimate artifacts wielded by Saints cannot escape the fate of being decomposed." The artifact spirit's fearful voice rang out in the Primeval Divine Hall.

Jian Chen had never been so stern before. He growled furiously, "Artifact spirit, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"There's nothing. You don't possess the power to contend against a Saint, even if you fuse the twin swords. They're still too feeble right now. Even if you fuse them, they can't threaten a Saint." The artifact spirit's voice rang out sternly with some despair. "And, he has clearly come prepared this time. He has made ample preparation and already sealed up this space. Even if I possessed the same power as last time, I would not be able to get away."

"If it were a different Saint, then so be it. Even if I were captured, I'd just be enslaved at most, b-b-but this Saint knows the Laws of Devouring. He's clearly determined to devour me. Once I am devoured, that's equivalent to me complete death."

"This damned curse has tormented me for countless years, such that I'm nowhere close to my prime. Otherwise, I never would have ended up like this." The artifact spirit was pessimistic in despair. It instructed Jian Chen, "I can't escape. You should go. While there's still time, fuse the swords and split open the space here. You might still be able to get away."

Jian Chen said nothing. He refused to accept this. In order to collect the ten droplets of essence blood, he had spent several decades comprehending the Way of Alchemy before proceeding to the Xuanhuang Microcosm and risking his life to gather Xuanhuang spiritual fluid. Afterwards, he went to the Darkstar World and spent several centuries refining Godking pills.

He had obtained ten droplets of a Grand Exalt's essence blood after painstaking efforts. Now, he had finally obtained this sovereign god artifact as he had wished.

Yet soon after the Primeval Divine Hall had acknowledged him as its master, he was intercepted by a powerful Saint. How could he accept this?

"Zi Ying, Qing Suo, prepare to fuse. Even if he's a Saint, I'll leave him with a gash if he tries to take my Primeval Divine Hall." Jian Chen was seeing red as he ground his teeth. He had lost his cool already.

Outside the Primeval Divine Hall, space had shattered already, and the surroundings sank into darkness. The Laws of Devouring gripped everything like a black hole, gradually swallowing the Primeval Divine Hall as a gaping mouth.

The Primeval Divine Hall was truly in dire straits now. There was nowhere for it to run.

But at this exact moment, the Laws of Devouring suddenly trembled. In the next moment, all of the laws just collapsed forcefully mid-air. The huge, gaping mouth of darkness that could devour everything seemed to vanish at that instant too.

Immediately, all of the devouring power dissipated. Even the frozen space recovered.

The Primeval Divine Hall was no longer trapped. The remaining power of the divine hall was immediately unleashed. In the next moment, the Primeval Divine Hall burst through space, vanishing immediately.

The Primeval Divine Hall managed to escape, but the space there did not return to peace. A huge shadow floated there, wriggling about like a bugle. It seemed to be alive.

Upon a closer glance, it was quite obvious that the black shadow actually seemed to be made of void.

Beneath the shadow was where the Primeval Divine Hall sat before. Above it was a pitch-black hand, pressing against it gently.

The hand was like a colossal column. It was extremely large, imposing, and grand. It was completely condensed from the power of laws, giving off a startling presence of destruction.

When the hand condensed from the Laws of Destruction pressed against the void shadow, the Laws of Devouring that emerged from the shadow immediately collapsed.

The supreme Laws of Destruction within the hand turned into an apocalyptic storm, suppressing the shadow like he was unstoppable.

"A-Anatta, why did you stop me?" A powerful mental pulse emerged from the shadow with undisguised fury.

"Nether, that doesn't belong to you!" A blurry figure condensed from the Laws of Destruction silently appeared above the shadow. It seemed to represent the world, such that it interfered with how the world worked just by standing there.

"That's Primeval Qi. I want to devour it and recover!" the voice from the shadow said.

"The Primeval Divine Hall has already acknowledged a master. Since you are the sovereign of a world, that's not something for you to take."

"I'll be able to recover once I devour it. It's mine!" the shadow said. It tore open space and was about to leave.

"I said, that doesn't belong to you!" The voice from within the Laws of Destruction rang out. Even though it was composed of the sound of the ways, bearing all sounds the universe had to offer, it was clearly filled with anger.

In the next moment, the Laws of Destruction and the Laws of Fire appeared together, impacting the shadow as two simple inscriptions.

"Anatta, move aside!" the shadow roared furiously. The Laws of Devouring and the laws of Void appeared, both at completion, contending against the Laws of Destruction and the Laws of Fire.

This was the collision between the powers of two sovereigns. The might was terrifying, and the space there was completely annihilated.

"Nether, you've only just awakened. I don't want to suppress you." The Anatta Grand Exalt's cold, merciless voice rang out from the figure condensed from the Laws of Destruction. In the next moment, a tower appeared there, standing who knew how tall and wide. As soon as the tower appeared, it filled the entire sky and space there before hurling towards the giant shadow beneath it mercilessly.

Boom!

A great rumble immediately rang through the space there as if the universe had exploded. Countless spaces were smashed to pieces. The shadow was actually split into pieces under the tower.

But very soon, it gathered again, turning back into a shadow, except it was visibly smaller in size compared to before.

The tower condensed from the laws did not vanish. It weighed on the shadow heavily, such that all of its movements became more difficult.

"F-four ways. Y-y-you've actually comprehended four great ways to completion," the shadow cried out in utter shock.

The Anatta Grand Exalt said nothing. He stood there proudly with his figure condensed from the Laws of Destruction like he could hold off anything the Nether Sovereign threw at him. He did not even have to come in person. Just his powers could forcefully intercept a sovereign.

And, this sovereign was someone who had comprehended two ways to completion.

That happened to be the Laws of Devouring and the Laws of Void.

The shadow fell into silence. Quite a while later, it finally let out a gentle sigh. "So be it. I don't want the Primeval Qi anymore."

There was clearly a strong sense of disappointment in his voice.
