Chapter 3373: Suppression From the Artifact Spirit

Spurt!

Blood erupted from Jian Chen’s mouth as he immediately turned a sickly pale.

The organs within his body had already ruptured. Pieces of it even spurted out from his mouth with his blood.

As for the bones throughout his body, approximately a third of them had already broken or downright shattered.

He currently resided inside the sovereign god artifact. This place was completely under its control. With such a tremendous difference in strength, he was still as puny as an ant despite returning to the sixteenth layer of the Chaotic Body.

His full strength right now was only a Chaotic Prime’s.

Meanwhile, the sovereign god artifact could even suppress Grand Primes easily within it given its quality, so Jian Chen obviously stood no chance.

Of course, the wounds seemed very heavy, but it was actually nothing to the powerful physique of the Chaotic Body. It did not even affect his battle prowess at all.

The true source of danger was the curse he had always suppressed in his legs.

In order to fend off the artifact spirit’s suppression, he had already used everything in his ability. He used all of his strength, so the curse of the Dao Union Saint that had remained in his legs had lost its suppression from the Chaotic Force, immediately rushing out of his legs and spreading through his body rapidly.

Once the curse spread again, suppressing it once more would be even more difficult than before.

Not to mention the fact that he was both suppressed and heavily injured right now.

Under these combined effects, Jian Chen was unable to divert any of his strength to keep the curse suppressed for a moment.

Meanwhile, the expression of the experts of the Wood Spirits all changed when they saw what happened to Jian Chen.

They could tell with a single glance that the spirit of the ancestral artifact was extremely hostile towards him, which left them feeling particularly conflicted.

On one side was the spirit of the ancestral artifact, while on the other side was their great benefactor that they owed a tantamount favour to. That left the seven new rulers troubled, uncertain about who to stand by.

“Ma’am ancestral spirit, the Peace Ruler has shown us great kindness. If it weren’t for him, we would not have been able to enter here and awaken you. Please show mercy.” In the end, it was the Mayhemless Heavenly King who spoke up first for Jian Chen.

The Jade Heaven Ruler only seemed to return to her senses at this moment. She arrived before the illusionary mountain atop Jian Chen with a flash. Her eyes became filled with worry and concern. Afterwards, she raised her sword and directly swung it at the mountain with a powerful pulse of energy.

The expressions of the other experts of the Wood Spirits all changed drastically when they saw this. The spirit of the ancestral artifact had created this mountain. None of them believed the Jade Heaven Ruler could stop the spirit of the ancestral artifact’s power, but her actions were a form of great disrespect to the spirit of the ancestral artifact.

However, the Jade Heaven Ruler seemed to have cast aside everything already. All she wanted to do was save Jian Chen. She completely disregarded the fact that she would offend the spirit of the ancestral artifact through this.

Boom!

With a great rumble, the Jade Heaven Ruler’s sword slammed against the mountain over Jian Chen, but it did not budge at all. Instead, she was knocked back by the great force of her attack. Her face immediately turned bright red as blood sprayed out from her mouth.

“You descendants and juniors are actually helping a person of the Saints’ World? How foolish. Do you have any idea just how many of your ancestors that these wretched people of the Saints’ World killed in the past?”

“And are you aware at all that these people of the Saints’ World almost brought the Wood Spirits to extinction?”

“And do you know who is the exact reason that you’ve been trapped in this small world, never to leave?”

The spirit of the ancestral artifact seemed to be infuriated. It was completely aware of why the Wood Spirits left the larger group of Spiritsages and came down to this lower world with scarce resources to go into hiding.

After all, it had lived through that era.

It hated cultivators of the Saints’ World to the core. It bore a grudge it could never forget.

As a result, seeing how these juniors were actually mingling with a person of the Saints’ World as soon as it awakened from its slumber, the spirit of the sovereign god artifact was obviously furious.

Its fury disturbed the heavens. The sky was no longer an azure-blue, turning into a bloody-red instantly as if it was soaked in blood. A sense of bleakness filled the entire world.

The Wood Spirits all shivered inside. Their faces became extremely pale. From the bloody sky, they seemed to see the countless battles between their predecessors and the people of the Saints’ World, the corpses of countless predecessors floating atop the sea of blood.

That sight deeply shook their souls.

“Do you see this? Do you see this? The people behind all of this are the people of the Saints’ World. It’s all because of the people of the Saints’ World.” The artifact spirit ground its teeth as its eyes burned with hatred. “Not only did countless predecessors of yours die at the hands of people from the Saints’ World, but even I was heavily damaged by the people of the Saints’ World.”

“It was the Saint Monarchs of the archaean clans who heavily damaged me with god artifacts just as powerful as me.”

As soon as it mentioned matters of the past, the spirit of the ancestral artifact fumed with hatred. Despite being so distant in the past, it had slumbered for too long, so everything seemed like it had only occurred yesterday to it.

The experts of the Wood Spirits were all shocked. They stood there and trembled, unable to say anything.

“Artifact spirit, what you speak of is very ancient history. Right now, the people of the Spirits’ World have already become the Spiritsages. They’ve become a part of the Saints’ World, which is also as you’ve described, people of the Saints’ World,” Jian Chen spoke up at this moment from beneath the mountain. His voice was rather hoarse and black blood trickled out from the corner of his lips as he spoke.

The curse in his body spread faster and faster, but he was suppressed now. He was no longer capable of anything.

“Nonsense. Our Spirits’ World have already become mortal enemies with the Saints’ World, so how can we get along peacefully, much less become people of the Saints’ World?” The artifact spirit rebuked without any hesitation. After going through that dark age of despair without any hope, it refused to believe the Spirits’ World had any chance at victory.

“Fine then. Since you don’t believe anything I say about the Saints’ World, then let’s not talk about it. Let’s talk about you. You were awakened because of me. If it weren’t for me, you’d still be in slumber right now.”

“Yet as soon as you awaken, you suppress me without even thanking me. Are all artifact spirits of mighty sovereign god artifacts so ungrateful?” Jian Chen continued. He felt very helpless inside. The Source of Life had been awakened, but its strength had completely surpassed his expectations, and she hated the people of the Saints’ World very much too.

Under these circumstances, his chances at obtaining the sovereign god artifact were extremely slim. It was almost impossible.

Even the matter of survival became a great issue.

“What a joke. I awakened because of you?” The artifact spirit snorted in contempt.

“The Peace Ruler is right. If it weren’t for the Peace Ruler, we wouldn’t have been able to assemble nine Chaotic Primes. Without nine Chaotic Primes, we wouldn’t have been able to enter here,” said the Mayhemless Heavenly King.

“That’s the truth. Without Jian Chen, we wouldn’t have even been able to enter here, much less awaken you from your slumber. As a result, we hope you can show mercy and spare Jian Chen.” The Jade Heaven Ruler walked over from afar. There was still blood on the corner of her lips, but there was no fear in her eyes.

“Please spare the Peace Ruler in consideration of the fact that we’ve depleted ninety percent of our lives to awaken you,” the Heaven Fighting Ruler said, pleading as well. He would never forget how Jian Chen had saved him from the Blood Slaughter Ruler.

Back then, he had been reduced to a soul. He was extremely feeble when he ended up in Jian Chen’s hands. Jian Chen could have ended his life effortlessly, but not only did he decide against that, he even depleted many resources to help him rebuild his body.

The Heaven Fighting Ruler had never forgotten about this act.

After all, he was not an ingrate.

“What? Do you really think you awakened me through offering up your lives? Hilarious. That’s just hilarious. What a joke. You descendants really are utter fools. With your bit of strength, you think you can awaken me with that little bit of life force?” The artifact spirit laughed loudly. Her voice was filled with mockery.

“D-don’t tell me it wasn’t us?” The rulers all looked at one another.

“I was the one who awakened you. I happened across your master’s spine in the past. I used the spine to awaken you,” said Jian Chen. Afterwards, he opened his hands with difficulty against the suppression of the artifact spirit. There was still powder in his hands that resembled sawdust.

This powder came from the sovereign of the Wood Spirits’ spine.

When the sovereign of the Wood Spirits’ spine vanished completely, some residue remained in Jian Chen’s hands.
