Chapter 3357: Soul Recovery (Four)
After a hundred years, now that they finally returned to the Wood Spirits World, Jian Chen and the Jade Heaven Ruler were no longer as unfamiliar with one another as before.
Even their gazes towards one another lacked the kind of coldness from a century ago. There was some additional gentleness.
There were also some mixed feelings.
They did not make any physical contact, but their souls had already presented themselves to one another sincerely. It was equivalent to a collision of the mind and not of the body.
After experiencing such close contact, both of them were rather uncertain about what kind of relationship existed between them.
Jian Chen stared at the Jade Heaven Ruler for a good moment. After a while of silence, he seemed to finally find his words. “We’ve been forcefully transported out by the power of the maze. Looks like we can only stay in there a century at a time.”
The Jade Heaven Ruler evaded his gaze and said rather absent-mindedly, “Since we’re out, the Blood Slaughter Ruler must have been sent out too. What do you plan on doing next? Are you going to kill the Blood Slaughter Ruler with me?”
Jian Chen shook his head. “I’m no longer bothered by the Blood Slaughter Ruler. I want to enter the maze again and heal my soul first. Speaking of which, we can defeat Blood Slaughter easily now, but killing him is still rather difficult. I don’t want to waste too much time on him. He’s not worth all that effort.”
Reaching there, Jian Chen said to the Jade Heaven Ruler seriously, “You already possess twelve ancestral imprints. Even though your cultivation is below his, your overall strength is already equivalent. He can no longer threaten you.”
“From today onwards, I’ll have to bother you with taking care of the Peace region.” As he said that, Jian Chen took out the divine hall where the Lifesoul Flowers were planted and called out the Heaven Fighting Ruler.
“If the two of you work together, stopping the Blood Slaughter Ruler will be a piece of cake.”
Jian Chen left behind the Heaven Fighting Ruler. After a century, the Heaven Fighting Ruler’s cultivation had already mostly recovered under the assistance of a large number of heavenly resources.
“Actually, I can enter with you and assist you. With my help, the power of your soul will recover even faster.” The Jade Heaven Ruler mustered the courage to say.
Jian Chen shook his head. “I’ll be even more careful this time and stop the Blood Slaughter Ruler from entering, just in case he has any strokes of fortune in there.”
“So there needs to be someone in the Wood Spirits World to hold him at bay, or who knows what will happen by the time I return in a hundred years’ time.”
“I will be going in alone this time,” Jian Chen said firmly.
The Jade Heaven Ruler sighed gently inside and said rather sadly, “Then wait for me for three days. I’ll go to the Jade Centre Domain and gather some heavenly resources and pills that can help you recover the power of your soul. Heaven Fighting Ruler, you should also mobilise your Grand Heaven Domain and gather as many similar resources as possible.”
“Since Jian Chen is in need of them, I’ll obviously collect everything that I have.” The Heaven Fighting Ruler almost patted his chest to guarantee him.
Three days later, the Jade Heaven Ruler and the Heaven Fighting Ruler found a large number of heavenly resources and pills for Jian Chen as expected. They could all recover the power of the soul.
Afterwards, Jian Chen began to search the entire Peace region for the spatial teleportation passageway to the maze. As for the Blood Slaughter Ruler, he had completely forgotten about him.
Under Jian Chen’s day and night search, he spent only three years before finding the extremely well-hidden spatial teleportation passageway.
Jian Chen immediately rejoiced before carefully checking the space there, just in case the Blood Slaughter Ruler was lurking nearby with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight.
After confirming that the Blood Slaughter Ruler was not nearby, he hid a crystal in the space there and immediately vanished into the spatial teleportation passageway.
Soon after he had entered the passageway, the crystal exploded, destroying the spatial teleportation passageway with a powerful pulse of energy immediately. The spatial teleportation passageway was extremely weak. Any small disturbance could easily destroy it.
Without any surprises, Jian Chen arrived in the maze again.
This time, he had come prepared. Not only was he carrying all the Lifesoul Flowers from the Peace region, but he had even brought eighty percent of the Lifesoul Flowers grown by the Heaven Fighting Ruler and the Jade Heaven Ruler.
Right now, the Lifesoul Flowers on him amounted to over ten thousand. The only issue was their quality was not particularly high. They still required a large number of ancestral imprints to accelerate their growth.
Afterwards, Jian Chen began to search through the maze.
“Jian Chen’s presence has vanished?”
Somewhere underground in the Peace region, the Blood Slaughter Ruler hid there carefully with his presence erased. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he rushed into the air. Without any regard for the amount of energy exhausted, he immediately used the Divine Armour of Heavenflight’s abilities and arrived at where Jian Chen had vanished.
However, when he sensed the lingering energy from the crystal, he immediately understood something, and his face darkened instantly.
“Sure enough, he’s entered there again. Dammit, how is he able to find the entrance so easily? In the past, I spent several thousand years, even over ten thousand years, to find the entrance just once, yet he only used three years.” The Blood Slaughter Ruler clenched his fists and ground his teeth.
He spent the entirety of the three years observing Jian Chen, wanting to enter the maze again through him, but all of his efforts ended up falling through, which left him utterly furious.
The Blood Slaughter Ruler stood exactly where he was for a moment. In the end, he turned towards the Jade Centre Domain with a furious glare. His killing intent erupted. In the next moment, he vanished.
Before long, outside the Jade Heaven Ruler’s divine palace in the Jade Centre Domain.
A powerful presence suddenly flooded the surroundings. The Blood Slaughter Ruler personally visited the Divine Palace of Jade Centre, radiating with killing intent.
“Hahaha, without Jian Chen to help you, I’d like to see how you stand a chance against me. Jade Heaven, Heaven Fighting, get your asses out here to die!” The Blood Slaughter Ruler laughed loudly. His voice was thunderous, erupting in the surroundings and reaching most of the Jade Centre Domain.
“It’s the Blood Slaughter Ruler who’s come to make trouble!”
“The Peace Ruler has already left? We’re in trouble now. Without the Peace Ruler, are the Jade Heaven Ruler and Heaven Fighting Ruler really able to stop the Blood Slaughter Ruler?”
Immediately, the Jade Centre Domain was shaken up. Everyone had realised that the battle between the rulers which had fallen silent for a century was about to begin again, which cast a gloomy shadow over many people’s hearts.
The Jade Heaven Ruler and the Heaven Fighting Ruler appeared, staring coldly at the Blood Slaughter Ruler.
“Heaven Fighting, you managed to escape by luck last time, but I’d like to see who will save you this time.” The Blood Slaughter Ruler looked at the Heaven Fighting Ruler. Among the two of them, the Heaven Fighting Ruler was without a doubt the weakest, as well as the easiest to kill.
In the next moment, he appeared before the Heaven Fighting Ruler. With a medium quality god artifact sword in hand, he slashed towards the Heaven Fighting Ruler with a great pulse of energy.
However, the Jade Heaven Ruler suddenly stood in front of the Heaven Fighting Ruler, also wielding a sword. It split through space with dazzling light, immediately clashing with the Blood Slaughter Ruler.
Boom!
A rumble erupted in the sky and terrifying energy waves swept out. The Blood Slaughter Ruler was actually repelled by the Jade Heaven Ruler’s attack, sent ten metres away.
The Blood Slaughter Ruler blanked out. He stared at the Jade Heaven Ruler in disbelief, crying out uncontrollably, “H-how is this possible? I’m a Third Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime in possession of eight ancestral imprints. How did you repel me with a single attack? This is impossible!”
“Hmph, Blood Slaughter Ruler, you better open your eyes and look carefully. The Wood Spirits World isn’t a place where you can rampage freely.” The Jade Heaven Ruler sneered. In the next moment, a layer of resplendent green light enveloped her.
Twelve ancestral imprints appeared over her head, which seemed to resonate with the ancestral god artifact in the sky.
When he saw the twelve ancestral imprints over the Jade Heaven Ruler’s head, the Blood Slaughter Ruler immediately became dumbfounded. His eyes became so wide that they seemed like they were about to fall out.
