Jianchen sat like a statue in the artifact space of the Xuanhuang Microcosm. He held the last two Class 9 Monster Cores in his hands. The sword spirits had already appeared above his head, assisting Jianchen in refining the energy within the monster cores so that he could reach the fourth layer of the Chaotic Body in the shortest amount of time possible.
The two Class 9 Monster Cores in Jian Chen's hands glowed with a hazy light. The pure and powerful energy within the Monster Cores
The pure, pure energy within them was constantly being absorbed by Jianchen before being converted into Chaotic Force and fused with his chaotic neidan.
Jianchen's chaotic neidan had already grown to the size of an adult's fist in his dantian. This was the limit of the third layer of the Chaotic Body.
The two Class 9 Monster Cores in Jianchen's hands shrank at a visible rate. With the assistance of the sword spirits, the energy within the monster cores flowed away at an astonishing rate. After several days of cultivation, Jianchen had already used up all the energy crystals he had obtained from the Xuanhuang beasts as well as the Class 7 and 8 Monster Cores on him.
At this moment, the two Ninth Class Monster Cores in his hands were the only things he had left.
When only a third of the energy within the two Class 9 Monster Cores had been absorbed, the chaotic neidan in Jianchen's dantian finally exploded with a boom. At that moment, Chaotic Force surged out like a flood, wildly surging out from the shattered chaotic neidan. Like a herd of wild horses, it wildly rampaged through Jianchen's body.
Jianchen's body violently shook. At that moment, his body actually began to swell at a visible rate. He had actually become twice as large as before, as if he had become an inflated balloon.
This was not the first time Jianchen had experienced something like this, so he immediately dismissed his thoughts.
He calmed himself down and focused on circulating the Chaotic Force cultivation method recorded in the Azulet Sword Codex. He did everything he could to control the circulation of Chaotic Force in his body.
Under Jianchen's familiar movements, the Chaotic Force in his dantian finally came under his control. It began to be compressed and purified, going from the initial ten strands of Chaotic Force to five strands before compressing the five strands into one strand.
Gradually, the Chaotic Force in Jianchen's dantian became more and more powerful and pure. As the Chaotic Force grew stronger, his body began to struggle to endure it. It began to be ravaged by the fourth layer Chaotic Force. Whether it was his organs or his flesh, they were all violently battered by the fourth layer Chaotic Force.
Blood rapidly oozed from Jianchen's body. In just a short moment, he was covered in blood. Even his clothes were dyed red. Every droplet of blood pulsed with extremely powerful energy. Without a doubt, a single droplet of his blood was enough to kill a Saint Ruler.
Jianchen's body constantly healed and was damaged by the Chaotic Force. However, every time his body was damaged by the fourth layer Chaotic Force, strands of fourth layer Chaotic Force would fuse with his body, causing it to become even more powerful.
As his body gradually strengthened, he was able to endure the battering from the fourth layer Chaotic Force for a longer period of time.
Chaotic Force increased at the same time as the Chaotic Body. When the Chaotic Force reached a new level, his Chaotic Force would increase as well. His body would need to reach the same level as his strength, or his body would not be able to endure the sudden increase in Chaotic Force.
Right now, Jianchen's Chaotic Force was increasing from the third layer to the fourth layer. The Chaotic Force from the fourth layer violently hammered his body.
The advancement process lasted for an entire day before finally settling down. Jian Chen's Chaotic Body and Chaotic Body had advanced from the third layer to the fourth layer in an extremely perfect manner. Both his Chaotic Body and Chaotic Body had improved rapidly, but the price he had to pay was that the fist-sized chaotic neidan in his dantian had shrunk to the size of a bean once again. There was not a lot of Chaotic Force left in it anymore.
The blood on Jianchen's body did not coagulate. All the blood returned to his body through his pores. In the end, only his blood-red clothes remained on him.
Jianchen slowly opened his eyes. He silently sensed the Chaotic Body and Chaotic Force he had just broken through. Uncontainable joy filled his face as he murmured, "The Holy Emperor's Eighth Heavenly Layer. The fourth layer of the Chaotic Body has allowed me to possess strength equivalent to the Holy Emperor's Eighth Heavenly Layer, and I'm at the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Layer. I'm extremely close to the Ninth Heavenly Layer."
"The third layer of the Chaotic Body has allowed me to possess the battle prowess of the Holy Emperor's Third Heavenly Layer. With the Emperor Armament, I can reach the Seventh Heavenly Layer. I wonder what kind of battle prowess I can unleash with the Emperor Armament now," Jian Chen murmured to himself. Not only had his battle prowess increased by a lot, but his defense had also become extremely powerful. The fourth layer of the Chaotic Body could directly endure attacks from the Holy Emperor's Eighth Heavenly Layer.
As a matter of fact, if the Holy Emperor's Eighth Heavenly Layer did not use a Saint Tier Battle Skill, they would not be able to injure him at all.
Wounds.
This was because the Chaotic Body was as powerful as Chaotic Force. Since the Chaotic Body could contain so much Chaotic Force, just the defense of the body was not something that the Holy Emperor's Eighth Heavenly Layer could harm. They would not even be able to leave a scratch on his skin. Only those at the Ninth Heavenly Layer could break through the defenses of the Chaotic Body and injure Jianchen a little.
However, the damage would be almost negligible.
"My current body is probably not even as tough as Class 9 Magical Beasts," Jian Chen thought. At the same time, he suddenly thought of something. If he could reach the fifth layer of the Chaotic Body, probably even regular Holy Emperors would not be able to harm him.
"I've already wasted quite a few days in reaching the fourth layer of the Chaotic Body. Time is extremely precious, so I need to gather some heavenly resources as soon as possible. I can't stay here any longer," Jian Chen thought. Very soon, he suppressed his joy from breaking through. He changed into a set of clean clothes and went to visit the White Tiger and Tie Ta.
The White Tiger was still sleeping. It had not completely digested the Immortal Tier heavenly resource it had ingested a few days ago, but Jianchen could clearly sense that the White Tiger's strength was rapidly increasing. It was close to the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler.
"Once I leave the Xuanhuang Microcosm, the White Tiger will probably become a Class 8 Magical Beast as well," Jian Chen murmured to himself. The White Tiger was an ancient divine beast, a Winged Tiger. It possessed a unique advantage, allowing it to devour heavenly resources without any restraint to increase its strength. If it were any other beast or human Saint Ruler, they probably would have exploded and died long ago. Even if they did not explode, there would be irreparable repercussions.
Jianchen then went to visit Tie Ta. Tie Ta was still absorbing the energy crystals from the Xuanhuang beasts. His strength had reached the level of the Holy Emperor's Seventh Heavenly Layer.
Aside from that, even Nubis was cultivating. However, he did not increase his strength. Instead, he drank large amounts of water from the Spring of Life, ingesting the essence nurtured by the Spring of Life. He focused on refining his soul.
The several dozen elites of the Flame Mercenaries did not sit around idly. They worked together with a few Class 7 Magical Beasts in the artifact space to craft crude wooden boxes out of the wood Jianchen had sent into the artifact space.
