Chapter 3271: Talisman
The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths also left. The dust had completely settled now. There was no need to pay any more attention.
In the Ice Goddess Hall, the Ice Goddess was enveloped in a layer of the Laws of Ice. She currently sat on a throne, gazing into the distant outer space.
To a sovereign, there was no concept of distance in the entire Saints’ World. As long as they were willing, they could find out about anything that happened in any corner of the Saints’ World.
As such, nothing that happened in that region escaped the Ice Goddess’s senses.
“Jian Chen is already dead. Sister, you can finally let go of all your thoughts now, right?” the Ice Goddess murmured with a helpless tone.
She only demonstrated emotions like that in front of her younger sister, the Snow Goddess.
“I just never thought the Wind Venerable would actually enter this realm through a different method. What should he be considered as right now?”
“However, the fetal membrane of the world is extraordinary. Its attacks are a little weak, but its defences are extraordinary. Even when Overarching Heaven and Bloodtear worked together, it could endure it all with ease.”
……
…
At this moment, the Wind Venerable had turned into the world membrane and completely isolated the space where Jian Chen resided. The power of the membrane had been completely unleashed, giving off a presence like it was from the birth of the universe, filled with a sense of bleakness and age.
The Wind Venerable was currently doing all that he could to save Jian Chen, completely ignoring what severe consequences his actions could potentially lead to.
After all, Jian Chen’s identity was far too sensitive. As the successor of the Violet Heavens Immortal Exalt of the Immortals’ World, he possessed utmost glory in the Immortals’ World. It represented tremendous status.
But in the Saints’ World, his identity was definitely a heinous abomination simply for existing.
In the world membrane, Jian Chen’s body had already completely distingegrated and his chaotic neidan had shattered, completely annihilated by the Anatta Grand Exalt’s Laws of Destruction.
Even his soul was rapidly disintegrating.
The disintegrated parts were completely lost from the world, like they had truly perished, wiped from existence.
Very soon, ninety-nine percent of his soul had already dissipated. The remaining one percent continued to struggle stubbornly due to the strand of true Chaotic Force.
However, even when this wisp of soul had merged with Chaotic Force, it still could not hold on for much longer before the Anatta Grand Exalt’s Laws of Destruction. It was like a candle in the wind. It could be extinguished at any moment.
The level that true Chaotic Force belonged to was extremely high, but there was far too little of it. Before the oceanic Laws of Destruction, it still struggled to stand a chance.
“I owe you simply too much. Today, even if I end up severely weakened, I’ll do everything that I can to save you,” the Wind Venerable’s furious roar rang out in the world membrane. He was already doing all that he could, fending off Anatta’s Laws of Destruction while trying to protect Jian Chen’s soul.
The power of the fetal membrane of the world was currently contending against the Anatta Grand Exalt’s Laws of Destruction.
Unfortunately, the Laws of Destruction had already reached deep into Jian Chen’s soul. Under this situation, even the Wind Venerable was rather powerless despite his intentions to save him.
The defences of the world membrane were very powerful, but that was referring to the world membrane itself. Faced with Jian Chen on the brink of death, even the Wind Venerable who had become a sovereign of the world felt rather helpless.
At the same time, in a distant corner of the Saints’ World, a meteor suddenly exploded. A blood-red figure appeared in outer space, letting out a shrill howl.
The blood-red figure was the part of Jian Chen’s soul that had separated from him back then.
Now, not only did the soul possess a body of its own, but its strength had also reached Chaotic Prime.
It had never met Jian Chen, but a strange connection had always existed between the two of them. Not only were they capable of sensing each others’ locations, but the others’ strength would follow closely when one of them grew stronger.
Yet right now, it was heavily injured, facing the same situation as Jian Chen. It had sustained an invisible attack, on the brink of perishing.
From its current state, it was difficult to say whether its fate was linked with Jian Chen’s or if a sovereign’s power was far too terrifying that it could destroy all of Jian Chen’s clones while killing Jian Chen.
At this moment, the last wisp of Jian Chen’s soul that had merged with Chaotic Force gradually dissipated as well. When this wisp completely vanished, it would imply his complete and utter death.
This time, the Anatta Grand Exalt had not held back at all!
However, right when the final wisp of his soul was about to disperse, the Primeval Divine Hall hidden in an unknown space suddenly erupted with dazzling light. The slumbering artifact spirit seemed to be triggered by something, snapping away immediately.
“Oh no, Jian Chen is about to die. He will truly perish. I’ve finally found a unique person as my new master after so much difficulty. I still need to wait and see how he survives that crisis, so I can’t let him just die here,” said the artifact spirit. It had absorbed two droplets of the Grand Exalt’s essence blood and left its feeble state just barely, recovering substantially compared to before.
In the next moment, it appeared on the highest floor of the Primeval Divine Hall. There was an altar located there with only a yellowing talisman on it. The talisman was very ancient, giving off the heavy presence of time.
“Much of the power in the Death Substitution Talisman that master left in the past has dissipated, but only it can give Jian Chen a chance at survival now.” The artifact spirit appeared with his illusionary figure. He was extremely stern.
He immediately set a droplet of the Grand Exalt’s essence blood into the talisman. Afterwards, it directly erupted with light before flying out the Primeval Divine Hall at top speed.
Around the Primeval Divine Hall, the curse from the Dao Union Saint had yet to be completely purged. During this period, the artifact spirit had been focusing on recovering, so it could not bother with the curse outside.
When the talisman flew out of the Primeval Divine Hall, a wisp of the curse’s power immediately became attached to it.
“Dammit, the Dao Union Saint’s curse just lingers on,” the artifact spirit cursed.
By now, the talisman had already shot out of this region of space before vanishing in an instant. It directly pierced through the void and crossed a tremendous distance through the connection between Jian Chen and the Primeval Divine Hall, appearing in his soul instantly.
Even the fetal membrane of the world that the Wind Venerable had transformed into failed to stop the talisman.
The talisman had been left behind by the Saint of Grand Clarity. It was far too extraordinary, possessing unbelievable powers. As soon as it appeared in Jian Chen’s soul, the collapsing soul that even the Wind Venerable was powerless over actually stabilised rapidly.
The talisman began to burn, turning into a blinding ball of light. Profound powers emanated out from it, actually completely blocking the Laws of Destruction left by the Anatta Grand Exalt.
The appearance of the talisman left the anxious Wind Venerable stunned. He immediately saw through everything.
“This talisman is actually saving Jian Chen?”
“However, if anything opposes the power of ways from Anatta, she’ll sense it immediately. I’ll sever everything here so that the lingering power of destruction is completely isolated from her.”
The Wind Venerable also made up his mind, completely ignoring the possibility of offending the Anatta Grand Exalt. In the next moment, the power of the world membrane erupted, sealing up the world and cutting off the ways, obscuring everything.
