Chapter 3168: An Overall Increase

Although his increase in strength from absorbing the Heaven-splitting Divine Force was not as great as he imagined, his breakthrough with the Way of the Sword already left him extremely satisfied.

Its a pity. Theres far too little Heaven-splitting Divine Force or my Way of the Sword probably would have directly reached the great completion of Sword Immortal, Jian Chen murmured.

At this moment, Shangguan Muer, Houston, and Ning Shuang all opened their eyes as well. As for Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess, they were still in a certain state of comprehension.

At this moment, Jian Chen suddenly discovered that another two people had appeared here. After blanking out for a moment, he immediately beamed with joy, standing up in a hurry and saying in surprise, Uncle Xiu, youre here too.

With a flash, Jian Chen appeared before Houston. He smiled widely, as he was very happy. This is fantastic. Uncle Xiu, I never expected to see you here.

Sensing that Houstons strength had already reached Chaotic Prime, Jian Chen felt even more delighted.

In the past, on the path of cultivation on the Tian Yuan Continent, not only had Houston saved his life, but he had shown him great kindness too. Jian Chen was truly deeply indebted to him.

Gazing at Jian Chen and the powerful, daunting presence he gave off, Houston sighed inside for a moment. It all felt so surreal.

Houston had never thought that the puny cultivators on the brink of death his son Xiu Mi had picked up outside as an act of kindness would actually grow to such an alarming level today.

The current fate and fortunes he possessed all came from Jian Chen as well, basically without any exceptions.

The deed that had been done without much thought back then had actually changed his fate so much, which left Houston feeling a mult.i.tude of emotions.

Houston nodded amiably towards Jian Chen before clasping his hands at Ning Shuang and bowing gently. He said, Jian Chen, this is my master!

Jian Chen was slightly surprised. He glanced past Ning Shuang quickly and said in surprise, Dont tell me youre the infamous Empyrean Demon Monarch, senior? Please accept this bow from me!

As he said that, Jian Chen immediately pulled Shangguan Muer over to bow with him. He did not demonstrate the pride that belonged to a Chaotic Prime at all.

The Empyrean Demon Monarch? Where did you hear that t.i.tle from? However, Ning Shuang burst out laughing when she heard that name.

Arent you the Empyrean Demon Monarch? Jian Chen was taken aback, leaving him rather uncertain, as he had learnt about the Empyrean Demon Monarch from the sword spirits.

Ning Shuang giggled. Kid, Ive heard plenty about you from Tianyun, but now that Ive seen you, you really are even more interesting than I imagined. After a pause, Ning Shuang continued, The Empyrean Demon Monarch is only a t.i.tle from the past. I stopped being the Empyrean Demon Monarch many years ago. They all call me the Empyrean Demon Emperor!

The Empyrean Demon Emperor? Dont tell me you already reached the realm of Demon Emperors back then, senior? Jian Chen became even more surprised. That was different from what he had heard.

The so-called realm of Demon Emperors actually correspond to Immortal Emperors of the Immortals World. In the Saints World, they were Chaotic Primes!

With Jian Chens current cultivation, he would also be referred to as an Immortal Emperor in the Immortals world!

Whats wrong? Is it very surprising that I reached Demon Emperor? Gazing at how astounded Jian Chen was, Ning Shuang instead became slightly confused.

D-didnt senior pa.s.s away three million years ago? Jian Chens expression became rather bewildered. He had already realised the information he had learnt from the sword spirits was perhaps slightly different from reality.

Ning Shuangs eyes shone, and she said slowly, You actually know about what happened three million years ago. The sword spirits probably told you that. However, the divine swords of yin and yang were destroyed far too early. Their knowledge is only limited to three million years ago. They obviously dont know about what happened afterwards.

I didnt actually die back then Ning Shuangs gaze became rather strange. Though, this doesnt seem to be something you should be concerned with, kid.

Jian Chen jerked to his senses. For no proper reason, he had asked her when she had died. That was a little disrespectful.

That was like being suddenly asked, When did you die? It sounded strange no matter who heard it, and it could lead to a bad impression very easily.

Ive been rude. Please forgive me, senior! Jian Chen immediately bowed and apologised.

Its just the babbling of a kid. Its fine! Ning Shuang was extremely forgiving. She did not care about Jian Chens rudeness at all.

However, the way she dismissed it as the babbling of a child left Jian Chen sweating with embarra.s.sment.

Afterwards, Jian Chen looked at Shangguan Muer. He discovered that she had already reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime.

Of course, that was only her comprehension. Her cultivation remained the same as before she had absorbed the Heaven-splitting Divine Force.

However, once her comprehension had progressed, the matter of cultivation was much easier to deal with. Absorbing a few heavenly resources that could increase cultivation could elevate it very easily.

Afterwards, Jian Chen looked at the Immortal Devouring Orchid. The Immortal Devouring Orchid remained like before, like a blade of gra.s.s, wrapping around his wrist gently.

However, Jian Chen discovered exactly how the Immortal Devouring Orchid had changed in a single glance. Complicated patterns had appeared on it, which made Jian Chen feel like he was facing the boundless heavens.

The woven patterns resonated with the ways of the world as if it outlined another world, forming an independent s.p.a.ce of its own.

From the patterns, Jian Chen could clearly sense slivers of power from the Heaven-splitting Divine Force.

Aside from that, he could also sense the presence of Chaotic Force and Xuanhuang Qi from the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

The presence of Chaotic Force was obviously a result of watering it with his chaotic essence blood.

As for the Xuanhuang Qi, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had either been influenced by the special environment or gained it through devouring Xuanhuang beasts after entering the Xuanhuang Microcosm.

In short, even Jian Chen was uncertain about how it became embedded in the flower.

Can I still call you an Immortal Devouring Orchid now?

Jian Chen could not help but wonder inside as he gazed at the tiny flower around his wrist. With his cultivation and insight, he had managed to tell that the Immortal Devouring Orchid was evolving a long time ago.

It had already left the range of Immortal Devouring Orchids, evolving into a higher, special lifeform.

At this moment, a tremendous pressure flooded out. Energy suddenly began to surge at the bottom of the tree hole, rippling madly like turbulent waves.

Suddenly, the Mo Tianyun sitting nearby radiated with blinding light. A terrifying presence and surging energy erupted from his body.

After absorbing the Heaven-splitting Divine Force, Mo Tianyun had welcomed a breakthrough as well.

The breakthroughs of experts at his level would obviously lead to an alarming disturbance or even devastating eruptions of energy. Without a certain level of strength, others would not even be able to protect themselves, directly peris.h.i.+ng from the storm of energy.

However, Mo Tianyun was clearly prepared for this. As soon as he broke through, laws rose up in his surroundings, forming an energy barrier that locked him inside.

Isolated and weakened by the formation, the energy storm and pressure from his breakthrough could no longer harm anyone present even if it managed to radiate outwards.
