#5062 - Stay or go

He would do it immediately.

Even if he had to do it again, he had to persevere.

It was impossible to give up the Soul Source.

Especially since this was the origin of the Soul Source.

However.

Although he now possessed the Divine Sword Ranking, he couldn't forcefully activate it. Each use consumed too much energy.

The consumption itself wasn't the biggest issue.

His biggest worry was that while he was consuming energy, the Sword Spirit would backfire, using the Divine Sword Ranking to break free and even turn against him. That would be a greater loss than gain.

Holding the Divine Sword Ranking, Su Chen looked at the Soul-Locking Sword before him.

He hoped the Divine Sword Ranking could successfully suppress the Soul-Locking Sword.

Just as Su Chen was mobilizing the Divine Sword Ranking, preparing to act.

Buzz!

The four Soul-Locking Swords seemed to go completely mad, roaring and howling at Su Chen as if to tear him apart.

He immediately retracted the Divine Sword Ranking, and the fury of the four Soul-Locking Swords subsided.

Ah?

What was going on?

"Boss, it seems you can't use the Divine Sword Ranking."

Su Chen nodded, frowning as he looked at the Soul-Locking Swords. He, Little Fire, and even the Divine Sword Ranking were useless. He really had no way to deal with them now.

He was unwilling to give up.

This was the origin of the Soul Source. According to the Soul Source Beast, there was endless Soul Source inside. Not to mention himself, but once Carrot and Thousand Shas devoured the Soul Source within the origin, they would definitely be able to advance smoothly. There was no doubt about it.

"Boss, I know you don't want to give up, but there are four Soul-Locking Swords guarding this place. Whether you want to give up or not, we can't set foot in the Soul Source origin."

Little Fatty's face was full of helplessness. He certainly understood what his boss meant.

He didn't want his boss to continue to take risks. Anyone could see that the four Soul-Locking Swords were not simple. Continuing to stay, no one knew what would happen.

The Soul Source was important, but his boss's safety was more important.

Even though he knew that there were many Soul Source origins within the Sumeru Altar Realm.

But.

Having them was one thing, whether he could lock onto them was another.

Missing this Soul Source origin, wanting to relock onto a second Soul Source origin would probably not be an easy task.

'Why don't I try?'

'Master, you try?'

The voice of Three Precepts sounded in his mind, and Su Chen seemed very surprised.

Three Precepts's injuries had almost recovered, but because the foundation of his primordial spirit was too severely damaged, he was temporarily unable to reshape his physical body.

Most importantly, reshaping his physical body was not that simple. He needed to find a suitable body. Otherwise, what would be the point of randomly choosing a body? Not to mention whether he could fuse with it, but after fusion, his realm would definitely fall greatly.

Su Chen regarded Three Precepts as a friend, and of course, did not want to see Three Precepts's realm fall.

The best choice was to find the most suitable body for Three Precepts, fully assist Three Precepts in reshaping his physical body, and hope that after reshaping his physical body, Three Precepts could break through his own realm limit.

'I have just scanned the four Soul-Locking Swords. I will try to suppress them with Buddhist supernatural powers to see if I can help you break through the Soul-Locking Swords.'

'Then I'll have to trouble you.'

Immediately.

The primordial spirit of Master Three Precepts floated out, sitting cross-legged, with his hands clasped together. Streams of Buddhist aura continuously poured into the Soul-Locking Swords in front of him.

Su Chen looked nervously at the scene before him.

He hoped that Three Precepts's Buddhist supernatural powers would be useful, and he had already prepared to attack at any time. Once Three Precepts was attacked by the Soul-Locking Swords, he would retrieve Three Precepts as soon as possible.

Anyway, he had already withstood the attacks of the Soul-Locking Swords twice in a row, and a third time wouldn't make much difference.

As the Buddhist aura released by Three Precepts continuously poured into the Soul-Locking Swords, there was no imagined sword qi attack, which made Su Chen feel pleasantly surprised.

"Boss, it's working."

"Yes, but that doesn't mean we can break the Soul-Locking Swords."

Three Precepts slowly closed his eyes, and a Buddhist lotus slowly condensed above his head. The Buddhist lotus detached and slowly came to the Soul-Locking Swords, and a vast Buddhist aura began to wash over the Soul-Locking Swords.

"Su Chen, the four Soul-Locking Swords are sealing the Soul Source origin. Are you sure you want to open it?"

"Master, what do you mean by this?"

Su Chen was somewhat unable to understand what Three Precepts meant. He definitely wanted to break the seal and enter the Soul Source origin. Facing endless Soul Source, he couldn't resist such temptation at all.

However, he knew very well what Three Precepts meant. If everything went smoothly, Three Precepts wouldn't ask such a question.

"Because of our relationship, I'll be frank. The power of the four Soul-Locking Swords is extraordinary. Even I can't destroy them, and I sense the aura of a Great Emperor from within the four Soul-Locking Swords."

"Are you saying that the four Soul-Locking Swords were left behind by a Great Emperor-level expert?"

"Yes."

Su Chen already understood what Three Precepts meant. If that was the case, then this matter was indeed a bit troublesome.

Under normal circumstances.

Even a Great Emperor-level expert would definitely not be able to resist the temptation when encountering so much Soul Source, and would definitely take it all away. How could they choose to seal it?

Why seal something that is meaningless?

It was completely incomprehensible because Soul Source did not have any attack power and was suitable for any living being to devour, unless there was danger within the Soul Source origin, and the Great Emperor-level expert had no choice but to seal it. That was the only explanation.

"Su Chen, I believe you have already guessed that the Great Emperor-level expert chose to seal it, indicating that there is something fishy about the Soul Source origin. If we rashly open the seal and enter the origin, and then encounter danger, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out. So you have to think clearly about whether to enter the Soul Source origin."

Three Precepts did not dissuade him because he knew Su Chen's character very well, and he also understood how important Soul Source was to Su Chen. Including himself, he also continued to devour Soul Source and was also unwilling to give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, there was likely to be a threat in the Soul Source origin. There was no doubt about it. To say that he was not afraid was definitely a lie.

That's exactly why.

Three Precepts gave the choice to Su Chen to see what Su Chen wanted to do.

At this moment, Su Chen fell into deep thought. He understood what Three Precepts meant, and he also knew how dangerous it would be for the two of them to rashly enter the origin.

Give up? He was very unwilling.

Having finally reached this step, if he really chose to give up, it would be equivalent to giving up endless Soul Source, which was really a pity.

However, the Great Emperor-level expert left four Soul-Locking Swords to seal the Soul Source origin, which in itself already explained many problems.

What should he choose?

Little Fatty and Little Fire didn't dare to speak either, just quietly watching their boss in front of them, waiting for their boss's final decision, whether to stay or leave.
