At this critical moment, two resplendent streaks of light, one violet and one azure, shone from Jianchen. They turned into two swords and shot toward the old man.
"Ding!"
The two swords collided heavily with the old man's red sword, producing the sound of metal clashing. Scattered sword Qi flew in all directions with flames in the air, sweeping through the surroundings and creating deep craters in the tough ground.
The two swords retreated after making contact. They circled around each other and flew above Jianchen's head. Jianchen casually gripped the Ziying sword. His blood-red hair fluttered without any wind as he stared at the old man emotionlessly with his bloodshot eyes. He had completely lost his mind and sense of self. All that was left was an instinctive desire to destroy and kill. His grip on the Ziying sword was also instinctive.
Shen Jian stood in the distance as he stared at Jianchen. He was extremely stern because he could not sense any familiar presence from Jianchen at all. All he felt was a sense of unfamiliarity. He had even almost mistaken the current Jianchen for a crisis of the world because the current Jianchen gave him was just too similar to a crisis of the world.
"Jianchen!" Shen Jian bellowed out. His voice was like thunder, exploding in Jianchen's ears in an attempt to wake up Jianchen. He had already guessed that something had probably happened to Jianchen when he was in seclusion in the blood-red cloud.
However, Jianchen did not react at all, as if he could not hear Shen Jian's call at all.
At the same time.
The sword spirits' voices rang out in Jianchen's head as well. They were filled with urgency as they attempted to wake up Jianchen, but it was to no avail as well.
Suddenly, with a flash of red light, a vicious flame shot toward Jianchen. The old man wielded a fiery-red sword as his presence surged. He charged toward Jianchen with heavy killing intent.
At the same time, Jianchen moved as well. He turned into a red blur as he clashed with the old man.
Even though Jianchen had lost his mind after becoming demonic, only possessing an instinct to destroy and kill, he was much more powerful than before. Violet and azure sword Qi surged in the air with strands of flames, wreaking havoc in the surroundings. It formed powerful ripples of energy that expanded in all directions, causing the ground to sink and dust to rise into the air. The sky became hazy from their battle.
For a moment, Jian Chen was actually able to match the early God old man with the assistance of the Azulet swords. The great difference in strength between the two of them had been made up for all of a sudden. Jianchen constantly used various sword techniques. The Daluo Sword, the Taiyi Sword Technique, the Linear Lightning Release, and so on had all been used by Jianchen several times. This was not because he had recovered his mind. Instead, he had grasped these sword techniques and was using them instinctively.
More and more wounds appeared on Jianchen and the old man. Both of them were covered in blood, but they became fiercer and fiercer as they fought. However, at a closer glance, Jianchen's wounds were several times more than the old man's. Clearly, he was at a disadvantage.
However, the strength of Jian Chen's Chaotic Body was on full display at this moment. Even though he had lost his mind, the supreme recovery of his Chaotic Body was still present. As a result, his wounds actually healed at a visible rate. However, the rate at which he healed was nowhere near as fast as the rate at which his wounds healed.
The old man's eyes narrowed at the sight of this. He was extremely shocked, "Just what kind of cultivation method is this? It's actually so heaven-defying. Not only does it allow a Deity to fight a Deity, but even the recovery of the body is so great. If I can grasp this cultivation method …" A sliver of greed immediately appeared in the old man's eyes when he thought of this. Although he knew that this cultivation method had its drawbacks, some drawbacks could be accepted and tolerated in the face of rapidly increasing strength.
At that moment, the old man's attacks became even more vicious. In just a few short exchanges, he had added a few more vicious wounds to Jianchen's body. In the end, he used his sword to block the twin swords as he used a Truth Tier Battle Skill with his left hand. It transformed into a huge hand and gently pressed against Jianchen's chest with devastating power.
The Truth Tier Battle Skill used by a God was nothing to scoff at. With a heavy sound, Jianchen's entire chest exploded. The terrifying power from the Truth Tier Battle Skill wreaked havoc in his body. Not only were his organs destroyed, but even his bones had been reduced to dust. He was extremely heavily injured.
Jianchen vomited blood as he fell to the ground in the distance. All his bones had been reduced to dust, so he was powerless to stand up. He lay on the ground limply. However, to his surprise, the heavy injury this time actually allowed his mind to slowly recover its clarity. The blood in his eyes gradually faded, and even his long hair that seemed to be dyed red by blood began to turn black.
Very soon, Jianchen emerged from his demonic state and returned to normal. However, when he sensed his wounds, he could not help but smile bitterly.
He did not even have the right to stand up. He had no idea how long it had been since he had been so heavily injured. If it were not for the fact that he cultivated the Chaotic Body, the old man's Truth Tier Battle Skill would have been enough to reduce him to a bloody pulp. His soul would have been wiped out.
The old man dripped with the blood of a God as he made his way over to Jianchen. He extended his hand towards Jianchen, wanting to take Jianchen back to the Lu family first before slowly obtaining the heaven-defying cultivation method from him.
Seeing how Jianchen was in danger, Shen Jian gritted his teeth and began to use the second move of A Will that Splits the Heavens without any regard for the consequences. He had used the second style once when he was dealing with the calamity of the world in the lower world. At that time, he had paid a heavy price to use the second style. However, he had no other choice but to continue using the second style in the current situation.
"A Will that Splits the Heavens …"
"Mere origin energy, piss off for Old Man!" However, Shen Jian did not have the time to use the second move at all. The old man directly sent a strand of sword Qi over, piercing Shen Jian's body. Shen Jian was immediately blown away as he vomited blood. His face paled.
The old man did not even glance at Shen Jian. All he could see was Jianchen. He directly reached towards Jianchen in excitement.
Just as the old man was about to grab Jianchen, a cold light suddenly flashed through Jianchen's eyes. Suddenly, a dazzling white light shone from Jianchen. A strand of white sword Qi that was only the length of a finger suddenly appeared above his head. The sword Qi seemed small and insignificant, but the moment it appeared, the surroundings immediately began to churn. The docile origin energy became violent at that moment as streams of energy wreaked havoc in the air. Even the omnipresent power of laws became rather disorderly at that moment.
"W- what is this?" The old man's hand that was reaching towards Jianchen came to a halt. He stared at the small strand of sword Qi that hovered above Jianchen's head in shock. He actually sensed a terrifying power from the strand of sword Qi. The power was so great that it was enough to destroy him.
Without waiting for the gray-robed old man to think, the finger-sized white sword qi turned into a white light and shot towards the gray-robed old man like lightning. The moment the sword Qi shot out, the air seemed to stop flowing and time seemed to stop as well. Everything in the world fell silent. Only the strand of sword Qi shone with a dazzling white light, replacing the scorching sun. It became the only thing in the world, destroying origin energy and slicing through the laws as it shot forward.
Even though the gray-robed old man was a God, he was unable to dodge this strand of sword Qi. He immediately tossed out several discs as quickly as he could. Each disc was a powerful defensive treasure. They formed barriers of light that enveloped the gray-robed old man.
However, when the Profound Sword Qi came in contact with the discs, the defensive treasures became as fragile as tofu. They were silently reduced to dust, and the Profound Sword Qi passed through the old man's body.
The old man's presence rapidly withered as he constantly vomited blood. His face was sheet-white. The moment the Profound Sword Qi passed through his body, not only did he suffer an unprecedented injury, it even wiped out a portion of his vitality, a portion of his cultivation, and a portion of his soul at the same time.
Especially the grey-robed old man's chest, a huge hole had silently appeared. The flesh and blood inside had already disappeared, and it looked ferocious and terrifying.
The old man looked at Jianchen in shock. He endured the weakness and pain in his soul as he pulled out a formation disc from his Space Ring without any hesitation and tossed it at his feet. With a flash of light, he fled.
He needed to flee. The injuries from the Profound Sword Qi were just too heavy. Even though he managed to survive, he no longer had the power to use his cultivation. In particular, the pain from his soul made him feel like he could faint at any time.
He was as weak as a mortal right now. If he did not flee, only death would await him.
