"I hope this energy crystal can assist me in reaching the fifth layer of the Chaotic Body," Jianchen murmured to himself as he stared at the energy crystal in his hand. The energy crystal was one of the two Class 10 Xuanhuang beasts that Jianchen had obtained in the Xuanhuang Microcosm.
"Back then, I was not powerful enough, so I lacked an understanding of the Origin realm. As a result, I struggled to distinguish between Class 9 and Class 9 energy crystals. Looking at it now, this Xuanhuang beast's energy crystal isn't Class 10 at all. It's at Class 11 at the very least, or even Class 12. At the same time, this energy crystal is the weaker one out of the two I obtained back then. As for the other one, it's probably Class 13." Jianchen gently rubbed the energy crystal in his hand as his eyes shone brighter and brighter. They were filled with eagerness.
If it were not for the Icesoul, Jianchen would never have chosen to absorb the energy crystals from the two Xuanhuang beasts. He was not confident that he could break through with just the two of them. Although the two energy crystals were of extremely high quality, they were still existences equivalent to monster cores after all. They were not as beneficial to cultivators as the Icesoul or the high quality Violet Cloud Peach. Even if Jianchen absorbed all of them, he was not confident that he could break through.
However, his chaotic neidan had reached the peak of the fourth layer after absorbing the Icesoul. Without a doubt, this was the best opportunity for him to break through.
Jianchen sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. Afterward, he immediately focused and began to refine the energy crystal in his hand. He planned on breaking through to the fifth layer in a single stroke.
The fifth layer of the Chaotic Body was extremely meaningful to Jianchen. Not only would it greatly increase his strength, but it would also give him the right to refine the Yinyang Saint Rock.
Seven days later, Jianchen's chaotic neidan finally shattered with a great boom under his eagerness. It turned into a terrifying ball of Chaotic Force that filled his entire body. Jianchen's body suddenly swelled at that moment, becoming a small giant. He seemed like a balloon that had been blown up.
Every time he broke through with the Chaotic Body, he would experience the shattering of his core. Each shattering of his core was extremely painful.
Jianchen's facial muscles twitched, his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and his face was pale. Even though he had experienced this kind of shattering of his core several times before, the intense pain that felt like his entire body was about to be torn apart was still unbearable.
However, after enduring the excruciating pain, in exchange for a huge increase in strength, this was something that Jianchen was happy to accept.
Boundless Chaotic Force surged within Jianchen's body and began to slowly compress. Basically, Jianchen's Chaotic Force shrank with every passing second. As it was being compressed, Jianchen's Chaotic Force slowly began to transform from the fourth layer to the fifth layer.
At the same time, Jianchen's body was tempered by the strengthened Chaotic Force. His body strengthened at a visible rate, becoming even more powerful.
This process lasted for several days. Jianchen finally reached the fifth layer of the Chaotic Body perfectly. Both his body and the Chaotic Force within him had experienced a qualitative leap. The chaotic neidan in his dantian had shrunk to the size of a bean once again.
Jianchen slowly opened his eyes. He could not help but smile as he sensed the Chaotic Force within his chaotic neidan that was much more powerful than before. He was filled with joy. The energy crystal in his hand had not been completely absorbed. He had only used up a third of its energy.
"My chaotic neidan is too small right now, so the Chaotic Force within is limited. Although the consumption of Chaotic Force is very slow, the next invasion from the World of Forsaken Saints shouldn't be too far away. At that time, we'll definitely experience an even more intense and difficult battle." Jianchen sank into his thoughts. He did not choose to emerge from seclusion immediately. Instead, he continued to refine the energy crystal in his hand.
After a few more days, the remaining energy crystal in Jianchen's hand finally vanished. However, after reaching the fifth layer of the Chaotic Body, the energy required to cultivate was several times or even over ten times more than the fourth layer. As a result, when he completely refined the remaining two-thirds of the energy crystal, the Chaotic Force he obtained was extremely limited. It only made his chaotic neidan grow to the size of half a bean.
"Sigh, the further Chaotic Force progresses, the more energy it requires. When my Chaotic Body was at the fourth layer, a single ten-thousand-year Icesoul was enough for me to reach the peak of the fourth layer. Now that I'm at the fifth layer, I probably won't be able to reach the peak of the fifth layer even if I have ten ten-thousand-year Icesouls. If I reach the sixth layer, even a hundred of them won't be enough …" Jianchen sighed inside. The Chaotic Body was indeed very powerful, but there was endless sorrow behind it.
"But I'm already a true Holy Emperor now. I don't need the Way of the Sword or the Azulet swords to possess the strength of a Holy Emperor. If I use my comprehension of the Way of the Sword, there shouldn't be any Holy Emperor who's my opponent. Coupled with the Azulet swords …" Jianchen sank into his thoughts. After a while, he slowly said, "I should be able to fight against the Spiritking's clone, but the Spiritking's Way of the Sword is better than mine …"
"The Spiritking …" As soon as he thought of the Spiritking, Jianchen felt extremely pressured. The Spiritking was just too powerful. Just a clone required him, Xiao Ling, and Poseidon to deal with him. If the Spiritking had come in person, even all the power of the Tian Yuan Continent would not have been enough to stop him.
Although the Tian Yuan Continent had gained Origin realm experts like Yang Lie and Guihai Yidao and eight others who had yet to awaken, they had fallen from the Origin realm to the Holy Emperor after all. Even with the assistance of saint artifacts, they could only be regarded as Receival experts. The difference in strength between them and the Spiritking's original body was just too great, so they would not be of much help in a battle against the Spiritking.
Unless they recovered their peak strength and reached the Origin realm again.
Moreover, even if Guihai Yidao and the others did reach the Origin realm again, the World of Forsaken Saints had other Origin realm experts aside from the Spiritking, and there would be more of them than the Tian Yuan Continent.
"I can already absorb the yin and yang Qi from the Yinyang Saint Rock, but I still need the Heavenly Enchantress' help. Sigh …" Jianchen felt both helpless and troubled when he thought of the Heavenly Enchantress. He gently shook his head and opened the door to the secret room.
As the door opened, Jianchen immediately saw his sister, Changyang Mingyue, sitting outside. He was clearly stunned.
