C.3440: Encountering Fang Jing

Exploding sounds like popping corn immediately rang out from the Primeval Divine Hall. The terrifyingly dense sound almost seemed to burst their eardrums.

The power of the Cosmic Reversal Umbrella was far too startling. The umbrella had only opened by a fifth, and the might it released was already so terrifying. The endless stream of dense sword Qi sent the Primeval Divine Hall into a constant retreat.

The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild had already begun forming seals with his hands. As he rapidly channelled his tremendous energy, the Cosmic Reversal Umbrella began to open bit by bit.

Every additional inch it opened made the pressure it gave off slightly stronger.

However, despite the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild’s terrifying cultivation as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, he was clearly unable to unleash the full power of a sovereign god artifact. As a result, even when he used his full strength, he could only open the Cosmic Reversal Umbrella by a third of the way.

However, the Cosmic Reversal Umbrella that had opened by a third of the way seemed to be freed from some kind of restraint. The colossal pressure it gave off suddenly swelled. In the next moment, terrifying flames surged out from within the umbrella, turning into a sea of fire that surrounded the Primeval Divine Hall.

They were not regular flames but world-incinerating divine fire. They were said to be capable of burning worlds to nothing.

At this moment, the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild had also reached the limit of his control over the Cosmic Reversal Umbrella.

“The sovereign divine hall didn’t have much energy remaining in the first place. Now, under my Cosmic Reversal Umbrella’s world-incinerating divine fire, its remaining energy will only be exhausted even faster. Once it runs out of energy, I’ll be able to take the divine hall away with me directly.” The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild already had victory within his grasp as he stared at the Primeval Divine Hall that flickered in the world-incinerating divine fire.

“Brother, Jian Chen fled from the Saints’ World secretly. He’s the Anatta Grand Exalt’s fruit of ways. We can’t take him back to the Saints’ World.” The Heartless Child suggested from the side.

“Don’t worry. How can I not consider that for something so important? However, we’re still a little too close to the Saints’ World here. We need to take the divine hall as far away from the Saints’ World as possible before dealing with this in the chaotic sea.”

“In the Saints’ World, Grand Exalts can learn about everything in the world on a single whim, but in the chaotic sea, the abilities of Grand Exalts are greatly limited. As a result, it’s impossible for the Anatta Grand Exalt to know no matter what we do to Jian Chen, much less find anything through peering around.” The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild smiled confidently.

Under the scorching of the world-incinerating divine fire, the Primeval Divine Hall grew dimmer. The divine hall gradually turned pitch-black as the bit of remaining energy was being rapidly depleted.

Inside the divine hall, the artifact spirit became dimmer and dimmer. In the end, he let out a helpless sigh and said, “Master, the divine hall’s energy is about to run out. I will fall into a slumber soon. I probably won’t be able to help you with anything in the near future.”

“But please don’t worry, master. I’ve already sealed up the entire divine hall. Even if the divine hall doesn’t have any energy, it’s tough enough to stop the two of them. They can’t get in here.”

“That is unless they destroy the front entrance, but that’s impossible.”

The Primeval artifact spirit’s figure became fainter and fainter. After saying that, it completely fell into a slumber.

It was far too feeble. Over all these years, it had never been able to return to its peak condition. First, it had been trapped by the Dao Union Saint’s curse for all those years, which had already depleted a tremendous amount of energy. Afterwards, it faced the pursuit of a sovereign from the Saints’ World, which only made matters worse.

Even after being provided with ten droplets of a Saint’s blood, that could only relieve its needs temporarily. Now that it faced constant attacks in the chaotic sea, it had finally used up its last shred of power.

Immediately, the Primeval Divine Hall fell silent. Only Jian Chen was left standing in the gloomy space alone. The sword spirits and the Source of Life had all returned to his body. They were unable to provide him with any assistance given the current situation.

The enemies outside were far too powerful, so powerful that there was no chance of resistance.

“Don’t tell me I really just have to sit here and wait for my doom?” Jian Chen smiled wryly. There was nothing else he could do.

He still had ample Chaotic Force, but it could not change anything.

“Hahaha, this divine hall’s energy has finally run out.” The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild smiled gently outside the Primeval Divine Hall. He stowed the Cosmic Reversal Umbrella away and pressed down gently at the space there.

With that, the space before him suddenly shrank. The colossal Primeval Divine Hall shrank at a visible rate.

The Primeval Divine Hall did not actually shrink in size. Instead, the space had changed. The space was being rapidly compressed, and the divine hall was affected by the space as well, shrinking along with it.

In just a few seconds, several tens of thousand metres of space had collapsed to the size of a palm. Meanwhile, the Primeval Divine Hall became the size of a fist, which the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild grabbed in his hand.

He gripped the Primeval Divine Hall like he was gripping a colossal world.

If the Primeval Divine Hall still had even an ounce of energy, it could disturb the space with the slightest resistance. It would not be gripped so easily.

But right now, the Primeval Divine Hall had already run out of energy. Apart from the toughness that all sovereign god artifacts possessed, it had basically lost all other abilities.

As a result, the Primeval Divine Hall was like a piece of metal slag. It could not be smashed apart, but it could be taken away freely by experts.

“Let’s go, Heartless. Let’s go somewhere slightly further away from the Saints’ World and slowly deal with Jian Chen inside. Once we obtain the Source of Life, we’ll continue searching for the Dominion’s Brush.” The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild laughed aloud as he stared at the Primeval Divine Hall in his hand.

“Brother, if you obtain the Source of Life, will you be able to use the undying body brought on by the Source of Life to forcefully exhaust the Wind Venerable to death?” The Heartless Child suddenly came up with an idea and stared at the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild with shining interest.

The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild stiffened. He seriously considered it for a while and said slowly, “With the Source of Life, the Wind Venerable is indeed incapable of killing me. Perhaps we can try it when the opportunity arises. Let’s see whether I can forcefully exhaust the Wind Venerable to death while he’s lost his mind. Hopefully, he doesn’t know how to flee when he’s in a frenzy.”

“By then, you can be responsible for keeping the Wind Venerable busy, while I’ll assist from the side. The Sceptre of Life should pose some threat to the Wind Venerable with its strength. Under our combined efforts, the Wind Venerable will face death. Once he dies, our Myriad Bone Guild will be free from worries.” The Heartless Child laughed aloud.

The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild also smiled happily.

However, right as they became proud of themselves, the chaotic sea in the distance rippled violently. A streak of light approached them at extremely great speed. Even though it was not directly rushing towards them, it would intersect with their location.

The streak of light moved far too quickly, reaching near them in just a second.

The senses of all experts were weakened in the chaotic sea. They were unable to use the senses of their souls either. As a result, the person in the light basically never expected to encounter other experts in the chaotic sea, so she stopped subconsciously.

She was a woman in a white dress with alluring beauty. Her bearing was cold and noble. Light flowed through her cold eyes with an enchanting glow.

The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild and the Heartless Child discovered the woman as well. The Heartless Child did not react in any particular way, but the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild shuddered inside. The Primeval Divine Hall trapped in his hand almost fell out.

“It’s actually you! Y-y-y-you actually haven’t died? T-this is impossible. In the past, I clearly witnessed your death.” The woman’s appearance made the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild lose his composure. His tone became shocked and frantic.

The woman was Fang Jing!

Fang Jing’s cold eyes locked onto the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild wrapped in a black cloak. She was also surprised, but she soon sneered. Killing intent bloomed in her eyes. “Leader of the Myriad Bone Guild, I didn’t expect to actually encounter you here. Perfect. I don’t have to worry about being discovered by the Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World if I kill you here.”

Fang Jing swung the Dominion’s Brush in her hand. Immediately, the profound laws permeated the surroundings.

“That brush- i-i-it’s actually in your hands? Ah, no-” The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild saw the Dominion’s Brush and immediately let out a splitting howl, seemingly filled with endless pain and injustice. He clutched his heart and subconsciously staggered backwards as if he had suffered a tremendous mental setback. He became frightened out of his wits.
