The surging Chaotic Force rampaged through Jianchen's body. Jianchen's body seemed to receive a great impact as well. It began to tremble violently before slowly swelling up. It was like an inflating balloon, rapidly expanding.
Jianchen calmed himself down and remained calm the entire time. He did not panic at all. The secret technique recorded in the Azulet Sword Codex appeared in his head as he began to attempt to control the Chaotic Force in his body and circulate it according to the special method recorded in the Azulet Sword Codex.
However, things did not go as he wished. The chaotic neidan contained an extremely large amount of Chaotic Force. Now that the neidan had exploded, the Chaotic Force immediately broke free from its restraints and began to disobey his orders. It rampaged through Jianchen's body, making it difficult for Jianchen to control it.
Jianchen's heart turned cold when he saw this. The power of his soul in his sea of consciousness erupted with all its might, forming a great pressure that entered his body. He used his powerful soul to suppress the uncontrollable Chaotic Force.
With the suppression of his soul, the uncontrollable Chaotic Force finally stabilized. It was slowly regained under Jianchen's control.
After gaining complete control over the Chaotic Force, Jianchen immediately began to guide the Chaotic Force through his body according to the secret technique recorded in the Azulet Sword Codex. It moved faster and faster, reaching an unimaginable speed in the end.
Under the rapid circulation of Chaotic Force, Jian Chen's Chaotic Body faced tremendous pressure. It showed signs of collapsing, as if it had reached the limit of what it could endure. His body constantly cracked. As for the Chaotic Force, it was becoming purer and stronger bit by bit, undergoing a qualitative leap. However, the quantity of the Chaotic Force was rapidly decreasing as it underwent a compression process.
The Chaotic Force in Jianchen's body became more and more powerful. As the Chaotic Force decreased, his inflated body slowly returned to its normal state. It returned to its original size very soon.
The strengthening of the Chaotic Force broke the balance between the Chaotic Force and his body. Jianchen's Chaotic Body collapsed bit by bit under the impact of the strengthened Chaotic Force. Whether it was his organs or his meridians, they were all heavily injured. The long-awaited pain struck his body once again, mercilessly tormenting Jianchen's nerves.
Jianchen's body trembled even more violently as he ground his teeth. His resolute face was covered in sweat as he endured the excruciating pain.
The Chaotic Body was powerful, but the pain and sweat required to refine it was not something a regular person could endure. When Jianchen had just refined the Chaotic Body, he had been tormented by heart-wrenching pain even with his willpower. It was so painful that he had even lost the ability to faint. This was more than enough to demonstrate the difficulty of refining the Chaotic Body. The cultivation system of the fighters on the Tian Yuan Continent could not compare to it.
Now that he had broken through the first layer and was about to reach the second layer, the balance between the Chaotic Force and the Chaotic Body had been broken. He had to go through the process of tempering his body again in order to reach a balance with the Chaotic Force. Only then would he be able to control the strengthened Chaotic Force with ease.
If Jianchen wanted to truly reach the eighteenth layer of the Chaotic Body, he would have to go through the process of tempering his body eighteen times and suffering eighteen times. Only then would he truly reach the apex.
Jianchen's clothes had become soaked in sweat. The Chaotic Force that surged through his body became more and more powerful. As it strengthened, a portion of it fused with his body, strengthening it so that his body could keep up with the growth of the Chaotic Force. He would not be dragged too far behind.
After who knew how long, Jianchen's pain finally vanished. The surging Chaotic Force in his body had turned from a surging ocean into a small river. It slowly flowed through his body before gathering in his dantian, forming a bean-sized chaotic neidan.
The bean-sized chaotic neidan had been compressed from the fist-sized chaotic neidan from before. Although it had shrunk by a lot, the Chaotic Force within it had become even more powerful. It was a qualitative change.
Jianchen's Chaotic Force had finally broken through the first layer and reached the second layer. Even his Chaotic Body had become several times stronger. Even though his body shape had not changed at all, his defenses had increased by several times.
Jianchen slowly opened his eyes as he sat on the ground. He silently sensed the chaotic neidan within him and could clearly sense the power of the second layer. Uncontainable joy filled his face.
"The Seventh Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler. I've reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler now." Jianchen was ravished with joy. The second layer of Chaotic Force had directly increased his strength from the Third Heavenly Layer to the Seventh Heavenly Layer. He had crossed over four whole levels of cultivation.
"Even if I come across the ancestor of the Firegod clan again, I don't have to fear him now. If I use the Ruler Armament, killing him should be a piece of cake," Jian Chen thought. He thought about how the old man of the Firegod clan had forced him to use a large amount of Chaotic Force to launch a shocking attack in the City of God.
"The first layer of my Chaotic Body is equivalent to the Third Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler. With the Ruler Armament, I can kill Fifth Heavenly Layer experts. Now that I've reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer, I wonder if I can kill Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers with the Ruler Armament," Jian Chen thought.
"According to the current rate of growth of Chaotic Force, I might be able to break through to Saint Ruler once I reach the third layer and become a supreme expert on par with the Holy Emperor." Jianchen began to look forward to that day because only those who had reached the level of the Holy Emperor had the right to speak to the protector clans.
This was because the protector clans had several Holy Emperor experts at the very least. Mere Saint Rulers were nothing in the eyes of these supreme experts who stood at the apex of the continent, so they obviously disdained to speak to Saint Rulers.
Jianchen calmed down very soon and dismissed his thoughts. He closed his eyes again and began to absorb the supreme yang energy to cultivate.
Although his Chaotic Force had reached the second layer, his chaotic neidan was just too small. He needed to replenish some Chaotic Force as soon as possible, so the supreme yang energy in there was the best supplement. He could not waste it. As for the monster cores in the artifact space, no matter how many there were, there would be a day when they would all be used up.
In the following days, Jianchen lost track of time and forgot about himself. He cast aside everything and devoted all his attention to cultivation. He only hoped that he could increase his strength in the shortest amount of time possible.
However, Jian Chen's cultivation slowed down soon after he reached the second layer because he required even more energy to add another strand of Chaotic Force to his body. The first layer of the Chaotic Body required a single Ruler Armament to refine a strand of Chaotic Force, but the second layer required ten Ruler Armaments to refine a strand of Chaotic Force. It required ten times more energy than the first layer.
…
After an unknown amount of time, all the Supreme Yin Force and Supreme Yang Force on the surface of the Yinyang Saint Rock was finally absorbed. Not a single strand was missing.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress roused from their cultivation. They both sensed their strength and uncontainable joy filled their faces. Clearly, they had benefited quite a lot. Jianchen's chaotic neidan had shrunk from the size of a soybean to the size of a thumb.
After waking up, Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress still stared at the rock in the air as if they had not had enough. Just the thin layer of energy on the surface had benefited them so much, so it was possible to imagine just how powerful the energy hidden within the rock was.
Jianchen covetously stared at the head-sized rock and sighed inside. He then looked at the Heavenly Enchantress and said with mixed feelings, "Heavenly Enchantress, let's go. The Yinyang Saint Rock isn't something we can touch with our current strength. Once we're powerful enough, I'll call you over again."
The Heavenly Enchantress glanced at Jianchen and forced herself to remain silent. She turned around and silently made her way out of the pit.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress left the pit at the same time. They found the teleportation formation Mo Tianyun had cast down in the past.
The teleportation formation was a small stone hut that could fit ten people. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all engraved with complicated formations.
Jianchen glanced back at the independent world without day and night as he stood before the teleportation formation. His emotions were extremely mixed. He knew that he had gained another unforgettable memory from now on. The Heavenly Enchantress' figure was fated to be deeply imprinted in the depths of his mind.
The teleportation formation activated and Jianchen disappeared with the Heavenly Enchantress with mixed feelings.
A streak of white light appeared without any prior signs at the bottom of the Lunisolar Cave in the Sea of Stars. With a flash, it revealed Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress.
The two of them had returned to Dragon Island through the teleportation formation Mo Tianyun had left behind all those years ago.
Roar!
Perhaps their sudden appearance had alarmed the corpses at the bottom of the Lunisolar Cave. Immediately, a great roar rang out from all directions. A large number of corpses charged toward the two of them from all directions.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress' expressions changed. Although their strength had greatly increased, they had not reached the level of the Holy Emperor's Ninth Heavenly Layer after all. At the same time, there were quite a few Holy Emperor experts among the corpses. If they were surrounded, a bitter battle would be unavoidable.
"Let's get out of here!" Jianchen called out to the Heavenly Enchantress from the hole above their heads. He immediately flew up and quickly flew up through the hole.
The Heavenly Enchantress did not hesitate either. She basically left the Lunisolar Cave at the same time as Jianchen.
