Jianchen sat in the air in the depths of the mine. Dense and pure origin energy constantly gathered from the surroundings. It gathered so quickly that it had even surpassed Jianchen's rate of absorption. As a result, the origin energy around Jianchen had basically solidified. It had even formed a cocoon completely condensed from origin energy, surrounding Jianchen.
After all, Jianchen currently resided in a small high grade divine crystal mine. There was an uncountable amount of high grade divine crystals hidden in the rocks around him. It was equivalent to being surrounded by divine crystals, so his rate of absorption was naturally astonishing.
Jianchen's body was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. He absorbed the pure origin energy in the surroundings wildly. As he absorbed and refined the massive amount of Origin Source Energy, his Chaotic Neidan was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even though the expansion of his chaotic neidan seemed to be extremely slow, where it would only grow slightly every day, it was unbelievably fast for Jianchen who had cultivated the Chaotic Body for so many years. It was far, far faster than when he absorbed the energy from the Yinyang Saint Rock or when he absorbed the energy from the evil spirit.
This was because he was absorbing the pure origin energy within the high grade divine crystals this time. Not only was it extremely easy to absorb, but it was much easier to refine as well.
Because of this, the chaotic inner core in his dantian had grown from the size of a pigeon's egg to the size of a chicken's egg in just a short three months after he had cultivated there.
"At this rate, my chaotic neidan will probably reach the limits of the ninth layer in a year," Jian Chen thought to himself. At the same time, a sliver of excitement appeared in the depths of Jianchen's heart. He anticipated the tenth layer of the Chaotic Body.
The ninth layer of the Chaotic Body could only allow his cultivation to reach Deity, but once he broke through and reached the tenth layer, his cultivation would directly reach God.
Although the tenth layer of the Chaotic Body was still unable to make him an Overgod, the increase in his battle prowess was extremely great.
After reaching the tenth layer of the Chaotic Body, just the toughness of his body had reached a level where he did not need to fear the attacks of Gods. Even if he did not defend himself and stood there without dodging, Gods would not be able to harm him at all.
The tenth layer of the Chaotic Body was just too powerful. Even if regular Gods used their full strength to strike Jianchen, they would not be able to cut through Jianchen's skin. Only when their attacks surpassed the limits of what the Chaotic Body could endure would they be able to break through Jianchen's Chaotic Body and draw blood.
This was the power of the Chaotic Body.
All cultivators of the Chaotic Body could be regarded as invincible once they reached a certain level of cultivation. Only the prodigies who were also invincible among the same level of cultivation had the right to challenge cultivators of the Chaotic Body. However, they were more likely to lose than win.
Of course, being invincible among the same level of cultivation did not necessarily mean being the strongest among the same level of cultivation. As long as they could crush ninety-nine percent of their opponents at the same level of cultivation, they could be regarded as invincible among the same level of cultivation.
This was because there were just far too few people who could be their opponents at the same level of cultivation. As a matter of fact, there were only a handful of people who could match up to them on a plane or planet.
As Jianchen cultivated, everything in the Dark Cloud Mountains remained the same. The people of the Dong 'an province did not disturb Jianchen, which rather surprised Jianchen.
However, Jian Chen naturally had no idea that the reason why he was able to cultivate here peacefully after taking over the divine crystal mine in the Dark Cloud Mountains was all because of what Bing Lou had told Nanyun Tong.
In the blink of an eye, another year and three months passed. Jianchen had already cultivated in the Dark Cloud Mountains for a year and a half now.
During that time, the chaotic neidan in his dantian had finally reached the size of a fist. It had reached the limit of the ninth layer of the Chaotic Body. This speed was many times faster than when he was cultivating on the Tian Yuan Continent.
However, Jianchen did not stop there. He continued to absorb the origin energy in the surroundings. Finally, after another half a month, the amount of Chaotic Force that the chaotic neidan in his dantian could contain exceeded the limit. It exploded with a boom, and surging Chaotic Force wreaked havoc in Jianchen's body with a presence of violence and destruction. Immediately, Jianchen's body trembled violently. His face paled in a single moment, and his forehead became covered with cold sweat.
Droplets of chaotic blood even seeped out of Jianchen's pores with powerful pulses of energy, dyeing Jianchen red.
With the Chaotic Body, he would have to go through the excruciating pain of refining the body every time he broke through. However, at the same time, the toughness of his body would increase by leaps and bounds with each breakthrough.
Chaotic Force was just too brutal. Without a powerful body, it was impossible to endure the power of Chaotic Force. As a result, the Chaotic Force would become even more powerful with each breakthrough, breaking the balance between the Chaotic Force and the body. As the Chaotic Force circulated through the body, it would injure the body, which was why it was so painful.
Only when the body broke through with the Chaotic Force, becoming as powerful as the Chaotic Force so that the Chaotic Force would not injure the body when it circulated through the body could the pain be eliminated.
This was the weakness of the acquired Chaotic Body. If he had the Innate Chaotic Body, he would not have experienced the pain of refining the body at all, nor would he have gone through the pain of having his neidan shattered eighteen times.
A few days later, Jianchen made his way out of the mine at a steady pace. In just over a year, the small high grade divine crystal mine had lost all its divine crystals. It had become an ordinary mountain range.
The moment Jianchen emerged from the mine, Shen Jian, who sat on a mountain several kilometers away, suddenly opened his eyes. With a flash, he suddenly vanished from the top of the mountain. When he reappeared, he was standing before Jianchen.
The light in Shen Jian's eyes flickered as he stared at Jianchen. Due to the difference in Jianchen's cultivation method, he was unable to tell whether Jianchen had broken through or not. He could only vaguely sense that Jianchen's presence seemed to have become much more powerful than before.
Moreover, his rather delicate body seemed to contain an extremely terrifying and great power.
"You broke through?"
Shen Jian asked Jianchen.
Jianchen smiled faintly and said to Shen Jian, "Why don't you try attacking me?"
A gleam of light flashed through Shen Jian's eyes when he heard that. With a clear thrum, the dark Cloudstream sword appeared in his hand. Shen Jian stabbed at Jianchen with lightning-like speed under the power of the Laws of the Sword.
As Shen Jian knew just how powerful Jianchen was, he did not hold back at all even though he did not use any battle skills. He used his full strength.
With his comprehension of the Laws of the Sword as a late God and his cultivation as an early God, the power of his strike was no weaker than a mid God. It was even slightly stronger than regular mid Gods.
