Jianchen's heart sank as well. Although he had no idea what had happened in the outside world, he realized that the situation outside was probably very bad when he saw how confident Cheng Ming had become so hurried all of a sudden.
Very soon, Jianchen stepped onto the colorful Heaven-linking Bridge with Cheng Ming.
The Heaven-linking Bridge was extraordinary indeed. The aura of ways flowed around it, allowing it to extend beyond the formations of the forbidden grounds. It was silent and did not alarm the soul of the Insect Emperor lurking in the space outside.
"Wait!"
As soon as Jianchen stepped onto the Heaven-linking Bridge, Cheng Ming extended his hand to stop him. They were still in the forbidden grounds right now, so they had not passed through the formations.
Cheng Ming stared at the space outside the forbidden grounds with shining eyes. He looked around as if he was searching for the Spatial Insect Emperor lurking in the darkness. His face became extremely stern.
"Grand elder, what's wrong?" Jianchen asked. He was also stern. He dared not let his guard down at all. He was even prepared to fight at any time.
The grand elder did not answer. He stared at the space before him, and the light in his eyes flickered a few times. He muttered to himself, "I hope we can still make it in time."
Afterwards, the grand elder suddenly looked at Jianchen. His eyes shone as he said with a deep voice, "Master gave you a mask before. Put it on immediately."
A sliver of doubt flashed through Jianchen's eyes, but he did not ask any questions. He immediately took out the mask and put it on.
"Jian Chen, listen carefully. What you're going to do next might be very dangerous for you, but it's also a great fortune," Jian Chen said with a smile. The grand elder said sternly, "Bringing you into the forbidden grounds of the Cloudsurge Empire this time was not actually my idea. Instead, it was the great elder's idea. Even if you hadn't come to the Delight Plane this time, we would have sent someone to the Cloud Plane to inform you when our Heavenly Demon Religion launched an attack on the Cloudsurge Empire.
"The true reason for bringing you here is actually the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor outside. Spatial clans are born with space within space. From the moment they're born, they understand how to use the Laws of Space. The Spatial Insect Emperor's usage of the Laws of Space has reached an extremely high level. Since you've comprehended the Laws of Space, the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor is a great fortune for you. "
"I've brought you here this time so that you can obtain the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor and let it enter your soul. Then, you can refine it and absorb the Spatial Insect Emperor's comprehension of the Laws of Space for your own use," said Jian Chen.
The grand elder's words were shocking. Just a few short sentences were enough to stun Jian Chen.
"What are you saying, grand elder? You want me to refine the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor outside? " Jianchen's face immediately changed. He said with a sliver of disbelief, "Grand elder, even though the Spatial Insect Emperor only has its soul left, it's still very aggressive. Coupled with its superb usage of the Laws of Space, even a single soul isn't something that regular Primordial realm experts can deal with. Moreover, you want the soul to enter your soul. I probably don't have the ability to deal with it."
Jianchen was not confident at all. Souls were extremely fragile in the first place. He probably could not even deal with people an entire major realm of cultivation lower than him with just a single soul, let alone the fact that he was facing a terrifying beast soul that he would not necessarily be able to defeat even if he used his full strength.
This was because he had clearly witnessed how the Spatial Insect Emperor had slain the Divine King of the Cloudsurge Empire. The soul could definitely slay Infinite Primes with ease. Even Chaotic Primes would suffer.
"Don't worry. Since master wants you to do this, he naturally believes you have the ability to refine the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor. Even if you can't refine it, you won't be in any danger. At the very least, the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor won't obliterate your soul. Master once said that your soul is rather special."
"Jianchen, danger and opportunity exist together. Great risks also come with great opportunities. What do you think? If you really don't want to take the risk, I'll take you away right now. "Cheng Ming stared at Jianchen sternly.
"My soul is special?" Jianchen thought of his own soul. His soul really was rather special. Let alone the fact that he had lost a small portion of it, which he had yet to find even now, it had fused with a sliver of true Chaotic Force. It had mutated long ago, so it was indeed different from the soul of regular cultivators.
"Alright, I'll take the risk. Grand elder, just tell me what to do." In the end, Jianchen agreed through gritted teeth. If he could refine the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor and absorb its comprehension of the Laws of Space, it would be a great fortune.
Of course, this would be extremely dangerous as well. After all, he would be using his soul as a battlefield. The slightest carelessness could lead to disaster.
Cheng Ming was gratified. He said, "If you want to deal with the Spatial Insect Emperor, we can only do it within the formation. The Spatial Insect Emperor has been confined by the Rain Abbess, so its movements are limited. The formation just happens to be a place where the Spatial Insect Emperor can't set foot in. As long as we stand here, the Spatial Insect Emperor won't be able to attack us."
Afterwards, Cheng Ming took out a jade bottle and poured out some white powder onto Jianchen. He said, "This is powder refined from the corpse of a Spatial Insect. I'll scatter it on you, so the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor will mistake you for one of its clansmen. Space beasts aren't very intelligent, let alone the fact that it's only a beast soul right now. The Rain Abbess has basically refined away all of its low intelligence. It only has its instincts left, so it naturally can't tell if you're real or fake. "
"Carefully use the mask master gave you to conceal all of your presence so that you only have the presence of a Spatial Insect. Space beasts are extremely sensitive to presences. Many concealment methods won't be able to hide from their senses. However, this mask is truly flawless. "
"Once the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor senses the presence of its clansmen, it will immediately enter your body under its instincts and take over your body. As a result, it'll be a battle between you and the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor next. However, you don't have to worry. I've already set up a backup plan. You only need to keep the Spatial Insect Emperor busy for a while. Once we leave here, I'll assist you in dealing with the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor. "
