Chapter 2737: Kun Tian
At the entrance of the Land of Soul Destruction, Jian Chen hovered a thousand meters in the air while giving off the presence of the Darktstar race. He disguised his strength as a late Godking.
He carefully studied the Land of Soul Destruction as he hovered in the air, before flying in through the entrance that spanned several thousand meters across.
He did not move quickly. He moved steadily, maintaining his high degree of vigilance.
He was strong enough to run around freely within the Darkstar race, where even if he encountered their greatest expert, the Darkstar Emperor, he had complete confidence in retreating unscathed.
However, the Land of Soul Destruction was a still special place formed from the planetary beast’s brain after all. Anything that a terrifying, colossal beast on par to Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes left behind could be life-threatening to Infinite Primes. Jian Chen was confident, but he could not afford to be careless even in the slightest within the Land of Soul Destruction.
As he approached the Land of Soul Destruction, the chilly winds that swept through the place gradually reached Jian Chen as well. Jian Chen’s mind immediately quivered as he felt cold from the bottom of his heart.
The coldness pierced his soul.
The souls of cultivators had no perception of heat, but in that moment, Jian Chen’s soul truly felt a cold sensation.
The chilly winds could directly affect the souls of cultivators, even including Primordial realm experts.
“These chilly winds and the dark clouds in the surroundings are actually all a form of energy of the soul, or in other words, it’s the slivers of consciousness and will the planetary beast’s left behind with its death,” Jian Chen grew cautious. He could sense that the depths of the Land of Soul Destruction were even more dangerous than directly confronting the Darkstar Emperor who was no weaker than a Chaotic Prime.
Roar!
Finally, Jian Chen flew into the Land of Soul Destruction and formally set foot within this huge valley. However, a great beast’s roar directly rang out in Jian Chen’s soul, catching him off-guard.
The beast’s roar was earth-shaking and extremely brutal, even containing the great power that could shake up the starry skies. It was like a bolt of lightning, directly erupting in Jian Chen’s head with endless might.
Jian Chen’s levitating body immediately shuddered. His complexion changed rapidly and he immediately closed his eyes, using his full strength to gather the power of his soul and consolidate his mind.
With the beast’s roar, a colossal space beast, even larger than a star, condensed in Jian Chen’s head. It was extremely blurry, like a ball of mist, impossible to make out any features. However, the tremendous pressure it gave off shook up Jian Chen’s soul uncontrollably.
“This is something formed from the collapsed spiritual energy after the planetary beast’s died.” With Jian Chen’s current knowledge, he recognised the constituents of the beast figure in a single glance. He felt shocked.
He was still a Primordial realm expert after all. He could endure a soul attack at such a degree, but if it had been a Godking instead, even peak Godking, they would have just ended up dead before the tremendous roar.
He had just set foot in the Land of Soul Destruction and he had endured such a powerful attack, which forced Jian Chen to reevaluate the dangers of the Land of Soul Destruction.
However, before Jian Chen had the time to make a response, the colossal figure in his head suddenly moved. A huge claw swung down from right above with the might that could subdue stars.
Although the actual strength of the claw was nowhere close to being able to overwhelm stars, that was the endless might Jian Chen had truly sensed when the claw fell.
This was the might the planetary beast possessed when it was still alive! Even though it was dead now, it could still deliver some of this might through the energy of its spirit.
This was an unadorned soul attack, a blow to the mind. Jian Chen could only consolidate his mind and gather his soul, facing it in his toughest form.
He was like a tiny tree seedling among raging winds. Against the winds, there was nothing the seedling could do apart from deeply embedding its roots into the earth to stabilise itself, letting the winds ravage itself freely.
When the planetary beast’s attack landed, Jian Chen’s soul was violently shaken up. Even his soul that had mutated into something extraordinary felt piercing pain, followed by dizziness.
With his soul under attack, his consciousness momentarily blurred, but in that moment, his perception of the outside world plunged completely.
Fortunately he was not fighting someone, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jian Chen was alarmed. He had only just set foot in the Land of Soul Destruction and he had already experienced such a violent soul attack. The dangers of the Land of Soul Destruction completely exceeded his expectations.
This was because this entirely were soul attacks. Before these attacks, the defences of his Chaotic Body were completely useless.
“A soul attack like this shouldn’t last too long, or it’s impossible for the fifth hall master Kun Tian to remain here for three years with his strength. Let alone three years, even half a year is impossible,” Jian Chen thought. Holding onto that thought, he lasted for an entire hour like this.
During that hour, the attacks his soul experienced did not weaken at all. Instead, they gradually became stronger, while the planetary beast in his head used attacks of various types against him as well. At times, it would take the form of a colossal beast, and at others, it would assume various human forms, or even dangers that could appear in outer space.
These human figures all originated from the fragmented memories of the planetary beast, while Jian Chen found the blurry dangers of outer space to be chilling.
“In just an hour, I’ve used up around half of the power of my soul. Just how did the fifth hall master last three years here? This isn’t right.” Jian Chen endured the soul attacks of the Land of Soul Destruction strenuously as he began to look around.
Very soon, he discovered something. The further away from the ground, the denser the will and slivers of consciousness from the planetary beast would be. The opposite was true as well.
Jian Chen immediately descended, dropping from a thousand meters to five hundred, and he instantly saw results. The attacks on his soul weakened drastically and he eased up.
“I see!” Jian Chen came to an understanding and cursed himself for his confusion. He immediately landed on the ground and found a safe place to recover the power of his soul.
In the Land of Soul Destruction, he could meet the fifth hall master Kun Tian at any time, so he needed to maintain his peak condition at all times.
Just as Jian Chen recovered the power of his soul, a figure sat on a boulder that was as smooth as a mirror several million kilometers away.
He was a middle-aged man. His countenance was determined and cold as he gave off the presence of a Primordial realm expert.
He was the fifth hall master, Kun Tian!
But right now, Kun Tian’s face was rather twisted. The Primordial realm presence he gave off fluctuated with great instability, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes brutal and sometimes violent.
“Argh!”
Suddenly, Kun Tian stood up. His eyes snapped open, revealing a faint smear of redness and craziness. He roared at the sky and the great sound wave reverberated through the surroundings, causing the dark clouds formed from the spiritual energy of the planetary beast to surge violently.
He punched the boulder he sat on and the brutal force smashed it to pieces. Afterwards, he seemed to go insane, roaring out furiously as he constantly struck the ground with his hands. The muscles on his face twisted, like he was in pain.
