Chu Jian and Luo Mantian engaged in an intense battle within the spatial crack. As a result, the space within several hundred thousand kilometres began to churn as they fought. Powerful and terrifying streams of energy surged about chaotically as the temporal vortexes slowly approached one another. When two temporal vortexes collided, they would either collapse together or be devoured by the other temporal vortex, becoming even more powerful.
Chu Jian and Luo Mantian fought as they dodged the temporal vortexes in this strange space.
With their cultivations and realms, they were able to ignore the berserk energy turbulence. However, they were extremely afraid of the time vortexes.
This was because temporal vortexes contained the Laws of Time. Different temporal vortexes had different flows of time. Some powerful temporal vortexes could last for a million years, ten million years, or even longer in a single instance.
Moreover, the flow of time did not always advance. It could recede as well. If it advanced, they would be able to live as long as the world with their great cultivation. It would be very difficult for the temporal vortexes to cause any substantial harm to them. However, if it retreated for a million years, or even ten million years, it would mean that their cultivation would regress.
"Martial Soul lineage, the matter hasn't reached an unsalvageable point. Why must you force us into a corner and try to kill us? Why don't we both take a step back? That way, your grievances with the young star lord won't deepen any further." Luo Mantian's armor shone with dazzling light as surging energy condensed around him. It was almost tangible. He stared at Chu Jian emotionlessly as he spoke sternly.
Even though his cultivation completely surpassed Chu Jian's, Luo Mantian was completely helpless against the Martial Soul Force of the Martial Soul lineage.
Even more terrifyingly, every single strike and strike from the Martial Soul lineage possessed a sliver of Martial Soul Force to some extent. Even though Martial Soul Force was not as powerful as a single Martial Soul Secret Technique, at their level of cultivation, they fought with lightning-like speed. They would have struck out thousands of times in just a few seconds. Even with Luo Mantian's cultivation as a Second Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, the accumulation of Martial Soul Force from the thousands of attacks was extremely difficult to bear. It drained away the power of his soul severely.
Furthermore, he would have to endure a Martial Spirit Secret Technique from time to time.
The Martial Soul secret techniques were the truly terrifying aspect of the Martial Soul lineage. Every single Martial Soul secret technique could heavily injure opponents of the same level instantly or directly slay them. Although it was very difficult for Luo Mantian's soul to be heavily injured by a Martial Soul secret technique with the strength of a Second Heavenly Layer Grand Prime's soul, it was still enough to stun him temporarily and cause him excruciating pain.
Hence, Luo Mantian decided that it was best not to fight if he could.
Chu Jian sneered when he heard Luo Mantian's words. He said, "You're called Luo Mantian, right? You sure put it nicely. If it were something else, our Martial Soul lineage might not have bothered with you. After all, the young star lord's foster father, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, holds quite the weight in the Saints' World. Unfortunately, the matter this time threatened Eighth Junior's life. If we had come a little later, the consequences would have been unimaginable. "
"Who knows how long it has been since our Martial Soul lineage has had eight successors. In the end, we almost lost a junior on the Cloud Plane. This grievance is as deep as the ocean, so even if we have to offend the young star lord, our Martial Soul lineage must kill you. "
"Moreover, we really don't take the young star lord seriously. In reality, there's no one on the Star Brilliance Plane who can make our Martial Soul lineage fear us apart from the Nine Brilliance Star Lord."
Chu Jian's voice rang out. His voice was firm and filled with killing intent, which made Luo Mantian become extremely stern.
"Isn't Jianchen still alive? Not only is he still alive, but he's also unscathed. Why must you go to this extent?" Luo Mantian continued. Chu Jian's battle prowess was just too great, and he had many treasures on him. Moreover, he possessed Martial Soul Force. Luo Mantian knew that if they continued fighting, he would be defeated in the end.
This was because the longer the battle with the Martial Soul lineage dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
"Luo Mantian, do you really think our Martial Soul lineage is so easy to offend?" A cold smile appeared on Chu Jian's face. He unleashed the Soul-breaking Martial Soul Technique, causing Luo Man Tian's body to tremble. He let out a muffled groan as intense pain came from his origin soul, causing Luo Man Tian to temporarily lose focus.
However, Luo Mantian was already experienced in dealing with this. The moment his soul ached, he retreated instinctively, pulling away from Chu Jian.
"Do you really think you'll be safe with this?" Chu Jian sneered. He suddenly struck out, and the sword in his hand erupted with sword Qi as he swung it towards Luo Mantian's side.
A huge temporal vortex wreaked havoc several dozen kilometers to Luo Mantian's side. Originally, the temporal vortex moved in the opposite direction from Luo Mantian, so it was impossible for it to come into contact with Luo Mantian.
However, when Chu Jian swung out with his sword, the great power that erupted actually caused the temporal vortex's trajectory to change. It rapidly approached Luo Mantian.
If he was conscious, Luo Mantian could easily avoid the huge temporal vortex. However, after being struck by the Soul-destroying technique, he lost his senses of the outside world for a short period of time. He was unable to sense the temporal vortex at all.
However, that was not all. Seeing how Luo Mantian was about to fall into the temporal vortex, Chu Jian used the Martial Soul Room again. He suddenly pressed his finger against his forehead, and his eyes darkened in a single instance.
At the same time, Chu Jian's Martial Soul Force was depleted at an astonishing rate. In just a single instance, more than half of Chu Jian's Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime's Martial Soul Force had been depleted.
Even with Chu Jian's current level of cultivation, he found it rather difficult to endure losing half of his Martial Soul Force in a single instance. A sliver of exhaustion appeared on his face.
However, with the appearance of exhaustion, a terrifying sense of danger that could make even Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes despair and First Heavenly Layer Grand Primes pale in fright suddenly appeared.
"Heaven-severing technique!"
Chu Jian's finger on his forehead suddenly pointed towards Luo Mantian.
With that, half of Chu Jian's Martial Soul Force immediately surged out, condensing into a dazzling light that only members of the Martial Soul lineage could sense. It turned into an invisible blade that no one apart from the Martial Soul lineage could sense. It arrived above Luo Mantian's head in a single instance, directly slashing towards his soul.
The slash seemed to cleave apart the world as if it had been cleaved in half. Even the laws of the world could not stop it, allowing the slash to directly break through Luo Mantian's energy defences. It ignored Luo Mantian's god artifact armor and viciously struck Luo Mantian's soul with terrifying force.
After taking the hit from the Heaven Slashing Martial Spirit, Luo Mantian's body did not simply tremble and let out a muffled groan. Instead, he directly let out a blood-curdling scream. His face instantly turned pale without a trace of blood. Bright red blood spurted out from his seven orifices.
His Primordial Spirit had become extremely dim, and the Primordial Spirit Flame was on the verge of collapse, giving people a feeling that it would be extinguished at any moment.
Chu Jian's Heaven-severing technique was just too shocking. No one at the same level of cultivation could endure it. Even First Heavenly Layer Grand Primes were in danger of dying. Even though Luo Mantian managed to endure it with his soul at the Second Heavenly Layer, he clearly paid a heavy price.
In the next moment, Luo Mantian clutched his head firmly and fell into the huge temporal vortex.
If he were in peak condition, he could have used his powerful cultivation to forcefully break out. However, his soul was heavily injured like never before. He had almost fainted, and his mind was in a mess. As a result, he was unable to put up any effective resistance when he fell into the temporal vortex.
The temporal vortex spun rapidly. The Laws of Time inside were extremely chaotic. As Luo Mantian sank into the temporal vortex, his god artifact rapidly dimmed. Even the pulses of his cultivation became weaker and weaker.
In just a few seconds, the god artifact he wore returned to its original appearance. Clearly, there were no pulses of energy within the god artifact at all.
In the span of a few breaths, Luo Mantian did not know whether time had gone forward or backwards, but the power of the God God Armor had been completely drained. Even the power of his cultivation had vanished.
At this moment, a rope appeared in Chu Jian's hand. To no surprise, the rope was a low quality god artifact. He suddenly tossed the rope out, wrapping it around Luo Mantian who had fallen into the temporal vortex.
As soon as the low quality god artifact rope entered the temporal vortex, it immediately dimmed at a visible rate. The energy within the rope drained away at an extremely terrifying rate.
Chu Jian was stern as he stared at the rope in his hand. Without any hesitation, he immediately pulled hard and forcefully pulled Luo Mantian out of the temporal vortex.
As a Grand Prime, Luo Mantian possessed a lifespan as long as the world. As a result, he did not suffer any obvious injuries in the temporal vortex.
However, the divine artifact armor on his body could no longer cover the entire room. Even the vast power of cultivation in his body had been completely depleted.
His cultivation did not regress, but clearly, he had been in the temporal vortex for a very long time. All the tremendous energy within him had been swept away.
However, his Primordial Spirit was still in the same state as before it fell into the time vortex. There were no obvious changes in the time vortex.
"The soul has the imprint of ways. This temporal vortex clearly hasn't reached the level where it can erase the souls of Grand Primes, or it would have been impossible for your soul to survive until now." Chu Jian stared at Luo Mantian.
Luo Mantian still had not recovered. Without the protection of his god artifact, his cultivation had completely vanished as well. He posed no threat to Chu Jian at all.
