Jian Chen spat out a mouthful of blood as his body constantly trembled. The flesh on his chest rapidly melted away at a visible rate, turning into puddles of blood.
This was the sliver of power of laws that the tower had left behind when it pierced through his body. The power was filled with destruction, constantly destroying Jianchen's body. If it were not for the fact that Jianchen's Chaotic Body was abnormally tough, preventing the power of laws from destroying him, his entire upper body probably would have melted away already.
After piercing through Jian Chen's body, the tiny tower dispersed after exhausting its last bit of energy. With the disappearance of the tower, the passageway to the fourth floor immediately appeared.
However, Jianchen was currently in excruciating pain. The sliver of power of laws that the tower had left behind in his body constantly shone brightly, causing the wound on Jianchen's chest to slowly melt away as if thousands of ants were gnawing at it. Even though his Chaotic Force was extraordinary, it was unable to stop the power of laws from spreading.
After all, his Chaotic Force was not true Chaotic Force. Just the Chaotic Force of the fifth floor was not enough to fend off the sliver of power of laws.
Suddenly, Jianchen bellowed out while enduring the pain. The bellow shook the sky, and immediately, endless white light condensed from the surroundings. He gathered sword Qi in his chest, using the power of the Way of the Sword to fend off the power of laws in his wound.
With the addition of the power of the Way of the Sword, the power of laws in Jianchen's wound was immediately suppressed. The two different powers of laws immediately began an intense battle. In the end, the power of laws that belonged to the Artifact Spirit of the Anatta Tower did not last long enough, so it was dispersed by Jianchen's power of the Way of the Sword.
After purging the power of laws in his body, Jianchen finally let out a sigh of relief. In just a short while, the bowl-sized wound on his chest had doubled in size, taking up most of his chest. His organs and flesh had all vanished.
Even though he was heavily injured, Jianchen still stood there like a mountain. The toughness of the Chaotic Body allowed him to remain brimming with vitality despite being heavily injured. However, his face was pale.
"It's been a very long time since I've been so heavily injured. The power of laws really is terrifying. I need to be careful when I fight the tower spirit in the future," Jianchen murmured to himself. He immediately sat down and used the origin energy of Radiant Saint Force to heal.
Around half a minute later, Jian Chen's wounds had completely healed. The missing piece of flesh on his chest had regrown. He had recovered to his peak condition once again.
After changing into a set of clean clothes, Jianchen set foot on the fourth floor with the twin swords on his back. The fourth floor was a vast expanse of mountains and rivers. Jianchen discovered many withered heavenly resources as well as the remains of many precious medicines. They basically covered the entire place. It was basically a garden of medicines.
However, to his great disappointment, even though this was a vast garden of medicines that had once been filled with priceless medicines, all of them had been destroyed. Not a single one of them remained intact.
Jianchen also engaged in an intense battle against the tower spirit on the fourth floor. The Artifact Spirit on this floor was slightly more powerful. Although Jianchen emerged victorious in the end, he was heavily injured at the same time.
Before long, Jianchen healed up and entered the fifth floor. This floor was clearly where the Anatta Grand Prime reared rare beasts. Huge skeletons could be seen everywhere, and many of them were tens of thousands of meters long. Even though they had died many years ago, Jianchen could still sense a tremendous pressure from the skeletons, almost suffocating him. It was very difficult to imagine just how powerful the skeletons were when they were alive.
Moreover, the skeletons had not eroded away. They were still as tough as rocks, but they were all destroyed soon after the battle between Jianchen and the tower spirit.
This time, Jianchen had lost an arm after killing the tower spirit. A small portion of his body had been destroyed as well. He had only won after paying a heavy price. The tower spirit on the fifth floor possessed strength no weaker than late Returnance experts. Coupled with the sliver of power that he controlled from the Laws of Destruction, his battle prowess was close to Reciprocity.
Afterwards, Jianchen advanced courageously, passing through the sixth and seventh floors. The tower spirit on these two floors possessed the strength of Reciprocity. If it were not for the suppression of the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt's four swords, he probably would have been able to erupt with the strength of Godhood even if he had been split into nine pieces, unable to recover even after countless years.
After passing through the sixth floor, Jianchen was basically half-dead. He was extremely heavily injured, and he only managed to slay the Artifact Spirit after several hours of intense battle.
Jianchen had used everything he had to pass through the seventh floor. Not only did he use the Primordial Godsilk, but he also used a strand of sword Qi from the Sword of Mortality in his arm to slay the Artifact Spirit in the end. Otherwise, he would have probably died.
However, to Jianchen's relief, the four strands of sword Qi were not limited to a single attack. According to his estimations, each strand of sword Qi could unleash the might of Reciprocity three times. After that, their power would weaken drastically, and they would only be able to erupt with the strength of Returnance experts. The further they went, the weaker they would become until the sword Qi dispersed in the end.
Although the Primordial Godsilk could not block the attacks of Origin realm experts for Jianchen, it was still tough. With the protection of the Primordial Godsilk, Jianchen could avoid being pierced through, but his body would have to endure an even more violent impact. Even with the fifth layer of Jianchen's Chaotic Body, he found it rather difficult to endure.
When Jianchen reached the eighth floor, he decisively removed the Primordial Godsilk. Although the Primordial Godsilk could prevent him from being pierced through, the strength of the Artifact Spirit on the eighth floor was probably enough to shatter his body to pieces through the Primordial Godsilk.
The Artifact Spirit on the eighth floor became even more vicious and crazy. Hidden within was a fear for Jianchen. The fear was so great that it had reached the depths of its soul.
This was already the eighth floor. Jianchen had slain seven other bodies along the way. If this body was slain as well, only the body on the ninth floor would remain. Once the body on the ninth floor was slain by Jianchen as well, it would truly vanish. Even though the body on the ninth floor was stronger, it was unwilling to take the risk.
At that moment, the Artifact Spirit felt an unprecedented sense of danger. The sense of danger was countless times greater than when it faced the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt in the past.
Even though he was not the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt's opponent back then, he was still in peak condition. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was undying. Coupled with the fact that the Anatta Grand Prime was present, the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt was unable to kill him. He could only seal and suppress him. However, not only did he fail to recover from his wounds after so many years, but he had also become weaker and weaker under the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt's suppression and seals. He was basically on the verge of death now. If he was killed in his current condition, he would definitely die.
If it died in such a state, then it would truly be destroyed.
After all, it was still unable to become truly indestructible like the sword spirits.
"Being able to reach the eighth floor is already a great honor for you. Today, you will be buried here. You will never have the chance to reach the ninth floor. This will be the place where you die. I will kill you!" The red-robed boy yelled at Jianchen as he hovered several hundred meters away from Jianchen on the eighth floor.
"Artifact Spirit, are you still so stubborn? If you don't yield, all you can do is disperse," Ziying's figure appeared and said to the red-robed boy. She wanted to persuade him one last time.
However, what answered her was the red-robed boy's surging killing intent and an attack condensed from the Laws of Destruction toward Jianchen. Afterwards, the red-robed boy waved his hands, controlling the power of the world within the Artifact Spirit Tower with great difficulty. He was prepared to use a secret technique. This time, the red-robed boy used his full strength right from the start. He did not hold back at all. He wanted to cut down Jianchen as quickly and cleanly as possible.
Jianchen was stern. The red-robed boy on the eighth floor was equivalent to mid Reciprocity or even late Reciprocity. Coupled with the sliver of power he had grasped over laws, there were basically no experts at the same level who were his opponent. If Jianchen faced him by himself, he would not have any chance of victory even with the Azulet swords. He would not even be able to fight back.
Jianchen waved his right hand and immediately, a streak of light flickered. One of the four strands of sword Qi hidden in his arm, the Sword of Reincarnation, suddenly flew out. It turned into a white streak of light and shot toward the red-robed boy with lightning speed.
Afterwards, Jianchen waved his right hand a second time and a third time, shooting out the sword Qi from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. He used three strands of sword Qi to deal with the red-robed boy. Every single strand of sword Qi moved with indescribable speed. They seemed to be able to pierce through space and break through the limits of distance, approaching the red-robed boy in a single instance.
The red-robed boy's face changed drastically. He had experienced sword Qi like this on the seventh floor before. Although the power of the sword Qi was nowhere close to what the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt had used in the past, the sword Qi was enough to threaten his life now. However, the sword Qi just happened to move with indescribable speed. The red-robed boy was unable to dodge at all. He could only watch as the sword Qi approached him.
The first strand of sword Qi dispersed the Laws of Destruction. It passed through the red-robed boy with only a third of its power remaining, causing him to shriek out in agony. He was in extreme pain.
Afterwards, the second strand of sword Qi pierced the red-robed boy's body, causing him to become semi-transparent. The secret technique he was about to use was forced to stop as well.
