The huge throne forged from God Tier crystal rapidly shrank. Under the refinement of the sword spirits and Jianchen, it turned into extremely pure energy that entered Jianchen's body. In the end, it was assimilated by Jianchen's Chaotic Force, becoming a part of it.
Now that Jianchen's Chaotic Body had begun to take shape, he could refine it into Chaotic Force as long as he had enough energy. The existence of the sword spirits assisted him in refining the energy even faster.
As the Chaotic Force rapidly increased, the chaotic neidan in Jianchen's dantian rapidly swelled as well. It reached its limit very soon.
Boom!
Suddenly, a violent rumble rang out from Jianchen's dantian. It was extremely loud, where it could even be heard from the outside. The chaotic neidan in his dantian had shattered, turning into a large mass of Chaotic Force that rapidly rampaged through his body.
Under the support of the Chaotic Force, Jianchen's body seemed to become an inflating balloon. It began to expand at a visible rate, becoming a ten-meter-tall giant very soon.
Chaotic Force rampaged wildly within his body. It was like an overflowing flood, rapidly surging through his body.
Jianchen frowned slightly. The intense pain that he had not felt in a very long time assaulted his soul once again, mercilessly destroying his nerves.
Jianchen had already experienced the breakthrough of the Chaotic Body once, so he was very familiar with it. He immediately began to use the method recorded in the Azulet Sword Law to control the circulation of Chaotic Force in his body.
Gradually, the Chaotic Force in Jianchen's body rapidly became purer while its quantity rapidly decreased at an unbelievable rate. At this moment, the Chaotic Force was undergoing its third metamorphosis, changing from quantity to quality.
As the Chaotic Force rapidly strengthened, the balance between the Chaotic Force and the Chaotic Body was gradually broken. The Chaotic Body was immediately damaged as heart-wrenching pain filled every inch of his body, causing Jianchen to spasm uncontrollably.
Jianchen gritted his teeth. Not only did the Chaotic Force not slow down, it even sped up. He endured the increasing pain without making a single sound.
The sword spirits did not stop either. They continued to refine the huge throne, providing enough energy for Jianchen's Chaotic Force to evolve.
Jianchen's Chaotic Force rapidly decreased as his body slowly shrank. He returned to his normal size very soon, but he was now covered in blood. It was blood that had been squeezed out of his pores. Every single drop of blood pulsed with powerful energy, enough to easily kill an Earth Saint Master.
Jianchen's Chaotic Body was constantly being destroyed and repaired. Every time it was repaired, some strengthened Chaotic Force would fuse into his body. Not only was his Chaotic Force increasing, but his Chaotic Body was rapidly strengthening as well.
The metamorphosis of the Chaotic Force and Chaotic Body lasted for half a month before coming to an end. Only then did the Chaotic Force within Jianchen's body calm down. The surging Chaotic Force had vanished, and a thumb-sized chaotic neidan hovered in his dantian. Strands of powerful Chaotic Force slowly revolved around it.
Jianchen's clothes had already been reduced to dust. He sat naked on the throne that had shrunk to half its original size. The blood on his body had vanished, returning to Jianchen's body through his pores.
Jianchen slowly opened his eyes and suddenly stood up from the throne. Immediately, a tremendous presence radiated from his body, wreaking havoc in the hall like a hurricane, causing it to constantly tremble.
At that moment, Jianchen seemed like a primordial beast that had awakened from its slumber. The presence that radiated from him was enough to make the world tremble.
"Congratulations on reaching the third layer of the Chaotic Body, master," the sword spirits congratulated Jianchen at the same time.
Jianchen clenched his fists. He could not help but smile as he sensed the Chaotic Force within him that had become much more powerful.
"The Holy Emperor's Third Heavenly Layer. The third layer of the Chaotic Body has actually allowed me to go from the Seventh Heavenly Layer to the Holy Emperor's Third Heavenly Layer, directly skipping the Eighth Heavenly Layer, the Ninth Heavenly Layer, the Holy Emperor's First Heavenly Layer, and the Holy Emperor's Second Heavenly Layer," Jianchen murmured to himself. His voice was filled with uncontainable excitement.
With a flip of his hand, Jianchen's Saint Armament appeared. Surging Chaotic Force poured into the weapon, immediately causing it to shine with a dazzling black light. A destructive presence filled the hall, causing it to constantly tremble.
"The Holy Emperor's Fifth Heavenly Layer. Now that I've used the Saint Armament, it's only increased my battle prowess by two Heavenly Layers," Jianchen murmured to himself. Some dissatisfaction appeared on his face.
When he was at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, he could unleash the battle prowess of the Holy Emperor's Third Heavenly Layer when he used the Saint Armament, which was an increase of five whole levels. Now that he had reached the Third Heavenly Layer, the Saint Armament was only able to increase his battle prowess by two whole levels. It had been halved.
"The greater the strength, the greater the difference between each level. Perhaps that's exactly why my battle prowess has increased by two whole levels. I just wonder what level my strength will reach if I use the Saint Armament," Jian Chen murmured to himself. He quickly dismissed his thoughts and took out a new set of clothes from his Space Ring. Afterward, he left the hall where he had been in seclusion for several years.
Jianchen did not pay any attention to the throne that had shrunk to five meters. He planned on refining it into Chaotic Force in the future. Right now, he needed to immediately search for the Saint Armament and stop Tisniak from controlling the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands.
As soon as he left the hall, Jianchen saw Nubis with a single glance. Nubis's strength had increased by a lot during the past few years of seclusion. He had completely refined the essence of the old snake. Not only had he reached the Holy Emperor's level, but he had also reached the Second Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor.
Nubis's eyes narrowed when he saw Jianchen. He cried out, "Jianchen, what level of cultivation have you reached now? I can't see through you, and I can actually feel pressure from you. Heavens, has your strength surpassed mine in just five short years?"
"I've reached the Third Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor's level of strength now," Jianchen smiled.
"What? The Third Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor? H- how is that possible? In just five short years, you've gone from the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor to the Third Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. That's just unbelievable," Nubis stared at Jianchen in shock. Disbelief flooded his face.
He struggled to accept Jianchen's rapid increase in strength.
In the past few years, Nubis had completely relied on the essence of the old snake, which was why his strength had increased so quickly. However, Jianchen had actually surpassed him through his own cultivation. This had an extremely great impact on him.
"Jianchen, you're only thirty right now, aren't you? A thirty-year-old Holy Emperor. T- t- t- if news of this spreads, it'll cause a great uproar whether it's the sea realm or the Tian Yuan Continent," Nubis sighed emotionally.
"The Tian Yuan Continent …" Jianchen immediately became absent-minded when he heard the Tian Yuan Continent. Reminiscence filled his eyes, but he returned to his senses very soon. Determination filled his eyes once again, and he said, "Nubis, let's go. We can't give Tesniak too much time."
Jianchen and Nubis left the artifact space and reappeared on the ninth floor. Amagami continued to hover nearby, glowing with a faint red light.
The saint artifact turned into a golden streak of light and disappeared into Jianchen's forehead. Jianchen glanced at Amagami nearby, but he did not pay too much attention to her. He was trapped in the divine hall right now, so whether or not he could make it out was a problem. He was in no mood to think about anything else.
Nubis glanced at the core of the divine hall on the ceiling and said, "Looks like the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands isn't that easy to control. Tesniak still hasn't gained complete control over the Eight Wastelands. Jianchen, should we try and see if we can get through the door of the core right now?"
"Our strength may have increased, but it's nowhere near enough to get through the door of the core. Our priority is to find the Emperor Armament. With the Emperor Armament in hand, I'll be able to unleash even more strength. At that time, we'll have a greater chance of getting through the door of the core," Jianchen said with a heavy voice. He was extremely stern.
"Alright then. Let's go find the Emperor's Body," said Nubis.
Jianchen and Nubis immediately left the ninth floor and made their way to the eighth. The two of them constantly observed their surroundings along the way, searching for possible traces of the Emperor Armament.
Very soon, the two of them returned to the eighth floor. The formation on the eighth floor had already vanished, but the nine blood-red pillars still stood there.
Just as they set foot on the eighth floor, the nine pillars immediately began to glow with a surging red light. The formation had been activated once again.
However, this time, Jianchen and Nubis remained the same as before. Jianchen flipped his hand and the Saint Armament immediately appeared. He directly swung it and a powerful sword Qi shot toward one of the pillars with a devastating presence.
Boom!
The blood-red pillar loudly shattered. With the destruction of one of the pillars, the formation was immediately destroyed. The blood-red light in the sky slowly began to disperse. Before the formation had been completely formed, it had been destroyed by Jianchen's strike.
Jianchen put away the Saint Armament and glanced around. He frowned slightly and murmured, "I actually can't find any traces of the Emperor Armament. Where did it go?"
"We've searched from the ninth floor to the eighth floor, but we haven't found any traces at all. Has the Emperor Armament disappeared?" Nubis frowned slightly and asked himself in confusion.
Jianchen pondered for a while before looking at the tunnel to the seventh floor. He said, "Let's head down. The Emperor Armament should be extremely familiar with this palace. I think it must have used some method we don't know about to leave and run outside."
