Chapter 3349: The Secret of the Peace Region
Having learnt his lesson the first time, the Blood Slaughter Ruler clearly would not make the same mistake again, so he had already come up with a countermeasure beforehand.
He directly used god artifacts to stop Jade Heaven’s God Tier Battle Skill, defending passively without risking himself while he preserved his strength.
As for Jian’s Shadowless Lifetaking Strike, he truly could not come up with any good way to stop it, but he could use the eight ancestral imprints to recover as quickly as possible.
However, it had to be mentioned that his countermeasure was immediately effective.
In the air, the Jade Heaven Ruler’s heart sank. So far, her God Tier Battle Skill combined with Jian Chen’s Shadowless Lifetaking Strike was the only way to heavily injure the Blood Slaughter Ruler, yet this method seemed to become ineffective too.
Their combined efforts had injured the Blood Slaughter Ruler, but before his ancestral imprints, these injuries were absolutely nothing.
“We’re no longer capable of killing the Blood Slaughter Ruler. Do you have anything else you can try?” The Jade Heaven Ruler communicated with Jian Chen.
“We can’t kill him, but he can’t kill us either. We don’t have to kill him here and now. Once I recover, he won’t be able to stir up much trouble,” Jian Chen replied indifferently.
He had still been stronger than the Blood Slaughter Ruler in the past after all. Even though he was injured now, he still had his ways if he really wanted to kill the Blood Slaughter Ruler. However, a mere Third Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime was not enough for him to go to such lengths.
Afterwards, the three of them engaged in an intense battle in the air. The terrifying energy swept through the land, devastating the surroundings.
They were missing the Heaven Fighting Ruler, but the Blood Slaughter Ruler still struggled to gain any advantage against them, as Jian Chen’s soul had further healed over these three years. His usage and grasp over the Laws of Space was even better now.
He used the Laws of Space to assist the Jade Heaven Ruler while disrupting and interfering with the Blood Slaughter Ruler. In the end, the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s battle became extraordinarily difficult despite his crushing strength due to the circumstances.
His attacks would slow down and weaken due to the various obstructions from the Laws of Space regardless of who he targetted, giving the Jade Heaven Ruler sufficient time to respond.
On the other hand, whenever the Jade Heaven Ruler launched an attack, the space between them would shorten, so it would be extraordinarily fast. The location of the attack constantly changed as well. The attack would clearly come from the front, yet half of the sword would eerily appear behind him, which was impossible to guard against.
With this great battle, the Blood Slaughter Ruler ended up with the most injuries. Even though these injuries were merely scratches, nowhere near enough to threaten his life, it did leave him feeling extremely indignant and frustrated, like he had directed all of his strength towards cushion so it was all nullified.
“Dammit. If it weren’t for Jian Chen’s Laws of Space, it would be a piece of cake for me to kill Jade Heaven.” The Blood Slaughter Ruler was utterly furious. JIan Chen’s usage and grasp over the Laws of Space had already reached an unbelievable level, such that he actually felt rather powerless for a moment.
In the next moment, the Blood Slaughter Ruler surged with energy. He used the functions of the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and suddenly vanished.
Jian Chen narrowed his eyes. Right when he was about to control the space there and force out the Blood Slaughter Ruler, a sword had already appeared over the Jade Heaven Ruler’s head silently, thrusting out with lightning speed.
Spurt!
The Jade Heaven Ruler’s helmet was immediately pierced, but right when the sword was about to plunge into her soul, a strand of Laws of Space rapidly approached them, turning into a blade that deflected the sword.
In the end, the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s sword scraped down along the Jade Heaven Ruler’s cheek, leaving behind a bloody wound on her beautiful face.
At the same time, the Jade Heaven Ruler’s sword rose into the air, slamming against the Blood Slaughter Ruler with a sky full of green light.
Boom!
With a grunt, the two of them were knocked away.
The Blood Slaughter Ruler’s complexion was slightly pale. The high quality god artifact took far too great of a toll on him. Whenever he used it, it would take a tremendous amount of energy. It was completely impossible for him to maintain it given his current strength.
He immediately swallowed a few recovery God Tier pills and glanced at the Jade Heaven Ruler and Jian Chen viciously before leaving without looking back, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
A quick look at .me will leave you more fulfilled.
Neither Jian Chen nor the Jade Heaven Ruler went after him. Neither side could do anything to the other, so there was no point in continuing the battle.
The Jade Heaven Ruler touched the gash on her cheek and said with lingering fear, “Blood Slaughter is becoming more and more terrifying with that armour. If it weren’t for you this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
“With the concealment of the armour, we truly cannot guard against Blood Slaughter’s assassination attempts. If you want to eliminate the issue of Blood Slaughter as soon as possible, then you better get me the Lifesoul Flowers faster,” Jian Chen said to the Jade Heaven Ruler.
Afterwards, with a wave of his sleeves, the Heaven Fighting Ruler’s soul appeared.
Jian Chen extended a finger and the space there immediately rippled. A spatial barrier appeared silently, enveloping the surroundings.
The Heaven Fighting Ruler who had been reduced to soul form immediately reacted violently when he sensed what Jian Chen did. He said fearfully, “Fellow Jian Chen, I’ve really been doing everything I can to grow Lifesoul Flowers for you. I hope you can give me a chance at survival. If there’s anything you require in the future, I will do everything I can to assist you.”
The Jade Heaven Ruler hovered in the distance without approaching them. Her gaze moved between Jian Chen and the Heaven Fighting Ruler. A deep sense of worry was hidden in the depths of her eyes.
It was as if she was afraid that Jian Chen would directly erase the Heaven Fighting Ruler from existence.
After all, the Heaven Fighting Ruler was without a doubt at his weakest in his soul form. Killing him was virtually effortless.
It was not her fault for thinking like that either, as before the Peace region came into existence, the three rulers frequently had conflict with one another. They all had plans and thoughts of their own.
“You don’t have to worry, Heaven Fighting Ruler. I have no ill intentions towards you. I only want to assist you in rebuilding your body. The Blood Slaughter Ruler moves around elusively. I’ve set down this spatial barrier to prevent him from suddenly barging in and landing a sneak attack.” Jian Chen took out some materials from his Space Ring. These materials had all been handed up to him by the Peace region over the years. They could be used to rebuild bodies.
“This is all I have on me. Jade Heaven Ruler, let’s pull together what we have and help Heaven Fighting recover quickly.” Jian Chen looked towards the Jade Heaven Ruler.
The Jade Heaven Ruler let out a sigh of relief inside. Without any hesitation, she immediately produced a great pile of resources and tossed them over to the Heaven Fighting Ruler.
“Thank you, fellow Jian Chen. Thank you!” The Heaven Fighting Ruler was very grateful. Under Jian Chen and the Jade Heaven Ruler’s watch, he immediately began to reconstruct his body.
As a Wood Spirits, it was much easier for the Heaven Fighting Ruler to reconstruct his body than Saints’ World cultivators. He only needed a day before a new body was created.
Of course, this was only a body. In reality, all of his cultivation from before was gone. If he wanted to return to the same peak as before, he still required a period of cultivation and rehabilitation.
At this moment, a divine hall drifted out from the Heaven Fighting Ruler’s soul.
“Fellow Jian Chen, these are the Lifesoul Flowers I’ve specially planted for you. The first batch of Lifesoul Flowers will all reach mid grade Saint Tier soon.” The Heaven Fighting Ruler passed the divine hall over to Jian Chen like it was treasure, inviting him to take a look.
Jian Chen smiled gently and cupped his fist towards the Heaven Fighting Ruler. “I’ve troubled you.”
He continued, “Heaven Fighting Ruler, given your current state, it’s impossible for you to clash with Blood Slaughter anymore. If Blood Slaughter makes another attempt on your life, the consequences will be horrendous. If you don’t mind, just stay in the divine hall and recuperate at ease for the next few days and let me hold onto the divine hall.”
The Heaven Fighting Ruler chuckled. “That’s exactly what I had in mind. Then I’ll be under your protection for the next few days, fellow Jian Chen.”
With that, the Heaven Fighting Ruler immediately dove into the divine hall for growing Lifesoul Flowers, and the divine hall also ended up in Jian Chen’s hand.
“Jian Chen, have you really never considered killing Heaven Fighting and then claiming the Grand Heaven Domain for yourself?” At this moment, the Jade Heaven Ruler stared at Jian Chen with brimming interest.
Jian Chen shook his head. “What you care about is nothing in my eyes. I have no grievances with Heaven Fighting, so why would I go after his life?”
“Jade Heaven Ruler, you’ve probably realised from the previous battle that you would be pretty much done for if Blood Slaughter went after your life. As a result, for the sake of your safety, I think we should stick together.”
The Jade Heaven Ruler frowned. After a moment of silence, she asked calmly, “Do I go to the Peace region with you? Or are you coming to the Jade Centre Domain with me?”
Jian Chen hesitated slightly before saying, “I discovered something in the Peace region. Don’t resist my Laws of Space. I’ll take you over.”
Jian Chen swung his hand. As the Laws of Space pulsed, both of them vanished.
Jian Chen and the Jade Heaven Ruler silently appeared at the bottom of a colossal lake within the Peace region. An invisible force emanated out, pushing aside the water around them.
A region of space before them twisted constantly. It was something similar to a spatial gate, leading off to who knows where.
“What’s this?” The Jade Heaven Ruler noticed the thing before her, and her pupils contracted slightly.
She was actually unable to sense the region of twisted space with her soul. Even when she stood right before it, she could only see it with her eyes.
If she shut her eyes, then there would be nothing. She would not be able to sense anything.
“This is a spatial teleportation passageway. It can appear anywhere. Whenever it appears, it doesn’t remain for very long. It’s very easy to destroy as well.”
Jian Chen stared at the spatial passageway and said slowly, “In the past, I spent a decade searching through the Peace region before finally finding a spatial teleportation passageway, but the energy from the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s sudden sneak attack last time destroyed it. Afterwards, I spent another three years before finding a second one.”
“I visited this lake several times during those three years. I failed to detect any anomalies each time until I passed by here again recently. Only then did I find it.”
“As a result, we both have to be extremely careful. We can’t let any of our energy seep out. It’s just too frail, too easy to destroy. Once it’s destroyed, who knows when we’ll be able to find another one.”
The Jade Heaven Ruler stared straight at the spatial teleportation passageway. “Don’t tell me this is the reason why the Blood Slaughter Ruler was so determined to make the Peace region his?”
The Jade Heaven Ruler hesitated. After all, who knew where this led off to. Who knew how many dangers it involved. She did not dare to set foot inside so easily.
But at this moment, the space before them twisted violently and the Blood Slaughter Ruler appeared with a flash. Equipped with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, he vanished into the spatial teleportation passageway in the blink of an eye.
“Oh no, it’s Blood Slaughter! He’s already entered it!” The Jade Heaven Ruler’s expression changed.
Jian Chen was unfazed. He turned around and extended a finger. A crystal appeared behind him, and it was instantly sealed up by his Laws of Space.
In the next moment, the crystal exploded violently. The energy inside immediately seeped out, forming a storm. However, Jian Chen trapped it firmly with the Laws of Space, such that the energy from the explosion failed to reach the spatial teleportation passageway before them.
“Blood Slaughter is trying to destroy this spatial teleportation passageway. Clearly, he’s already entered it once. He understands the situation inside, which is why he’s dived in without any hesitation. Looks like we’re right. This is the secret that the Peace region is hiding,” Jian Chen murmured to himself.
