As soon as Jianchen entered the blood-red cloud, he felt an extremely tremendous pressure radiate from all directions. It weighed down on him like mountains, causing him to suddenly sink. His speed was greatly affected, making him much slower. At the same time, an evil presence entered Jianchen's head, affecting Jianchen's soul. Vaguely, he seemed to hallucinate.
Jianchen's eyes narrowed as a gleam of light flickered through them. He calmed himself down and suppressed the thoughts of hallucinating from the evil power. Afterward, the Azulet swords hovered above his head, shining with an azure and violet light. They formed a barrier around him. Chaotic Force filled his entire body at that moment as well, working with the Azulet swords to block the pressure from the blood-red cloud.
After all, the blood-red cloud was equivalent to the evil spirit's power at its peak. Even though a third of it had been purified by the Primordial Godsilk, the remaining two-thirds was still far more powerful than Jianchen. If the evil spirit still possessed its consciousness, even if it controlled the remaining two-thirds, the strength it could unleash would be far more than what Jianchen and the Spiritking could contend against. Even though the evil spirit had been destroyed, the power of the blood-red cloud still pressured Jianchen quite a bit.
Jianchen did not approach the center of the blood-red cloud. Instead, he only traveled a hundred meters before stopping at the edge of the cloud. He sat down sternly.
Even though he knew that the evil spirit had been destroyed, Jian Chen still did not dare to be careless as he stood in the blood-red cloud. This was because the cloud was just too powerful. It had completely surpassed the level of Deities. He even suspected that even the power controlled by Gods was not as great as the blood-red cloud.
Jianchen sat in the blood-red cloud and sucked in a deep breath. He slowly closed his eyes and began to carefully absorb the power of the cloud. Since the cloud was just too powerful and contained an extremely evil presence, Jianchen did not know whether his Chaotic Body could absorb the power, nor did he know whether the power would harm him or not. As a result, he did not dare to act recklessly for the first time. He only absorbed a tiny sliver of the cloud's power.
When Jianchen absorbed the tiny sliver of power, his body began to tremble violently before he could refine it. As soon as the sliver of power entered his body, it erupted with an extremely great power. It was like an exploding barrel of gunpowder, erupting with shocking pulses. It had almost shattered Jianchen's meridians.
The sliver of power was just too great. Even with Jianchen's eighth layer Chaotic Body, he found it rather difficult to endure, yet he had only absorbed a tiny sliver. If he absorbed too much of it all at once, he would probably become extremely heavily injured.
Jianchen gritted his teeth and silently endured the intense pain. Every time his Chaotic Body broke through, he would have to undergo the pain of refining his body. Every time he underwent the process, it would be a torment of life and death. The pain from the sliver of power was nowhere near as great as the pain from refining his body. Enduring this kind of pain was nothing to Jianchen.
The Chaotic Body within Jianchen's chaotic neidan surged as strands of Chaotic Force surged. At the same time, he circulated his cultivation method to refine the sliver of power.
Even though the power of the cloud was great, it was only a tiny sliver. There was not enough of it, so it was refined by Jianchen in just a short while.
Jianchen did not rejoice at all after refining the sliver of power. Instead, he frowned and slowly opened his eyes. He murmured, "The sliver of power has actually been refined into nothingness. It hasn't brought me any benefits at all. Is it impossible to refine the power in the cloud?"
"Impossible. Chaotic Force is the highest level of energy in the universe. Aside from Xuanhuang Qi, there is no other energy that can compare to Chaotic Force. Even the yin and yang Qi are formed from Chaotic Force. Although my current Chaotic Force is far from being true Chaotic Force, it still possesses a sliver of the characteristics of Chaotic Force. Although the power of the blood cloud is stronger than the eighth layer of Chaotic Force that I have grasped, it is still an ownerless energy that cannot be controlled by anyone. Logically speaking, if I want to refine and absorb the energy of the blood cloud, there is a seventy to eighty percent chance of success." Jianchen dismissed the idea that the Chaotic Body was unable to absorb the power of the cloud very soon. According to his understanding of Chaotic Force, it could absorb all kinds of energy in the world. There was no distinction between the five elements. Of course, that was under the premise that the absorbed energy was within the tolerance of his Chaotic Body.
Jianchen did not give up. He continued to absorb and refine the power of the cloud. After a moment of thought, he became even more confident that the Chaotic Body could absorb the power of the cloud. If the cloud was under the evil spirit's control, he naturally would not have dared to think like that. However, the cloud of power was only a form of death energy that he could not resist. It did not even possess the ability to attack, which gave him a sliver of a chance to refine it for his own use.
The amount of energy required to break through to the next layer of the Chaotic Body would multiply. It required an extremely large amount of energy. Now that he had reached the eighth layer, the amount of resources he needed to reach the ninth layer would exceed Jianchen's imagination. This amount of resources was not something that could be found on the Tian Yuan Continent. If he could use the power of the evil spirit's clone to advance his Chaotic Body, even if he could not reach the ninth layer, it would still be a great fortune for Jianchen. He could not afford to miss it.
On his second attempt, Jianchen failed as well. The strand of energy he had absorbed was forcefully refined into nothingness, leaving nothing behind. His Chaotic Body did not grow at all either.
Jianchen did not become dejected. He tried a third time, but he failed as well.
Fourth time, failure …
Fifth time, failure …
Finally, after five failures, Jianchen succeeded on his sixth try. The strand of energy that he had absorbed was finally refined into a strand of Chaotic Force, turning into his own power.
"I understand now. Due to the uniqueness of the blood cloud's energy, I can't refine every single strand into Chaotic Force. I need to extract its essence, but the difficulty lies in the fact that it's impossible to distinguish the essence." Jianchen's eyes shone brightly. As long as he could refine the energy into Chaotic Force, he would be happy even if he had to waste a lot of time.
