Chapter 2929: Difference in Bloodlines
Cultivation was timeless, where land could turn into ocean in a blink of an eye. Completely engrossed in cultivation, Jian Chen was completely unaware of the passage of time. The only thing he sensed was the chaotic neidan in his dantian. As his Chaotic Force became more and more abundant, it grew larger and larger.
After who knew how long, Jian Chen’s chaotic neidan finally grew to its maximum size. The Chaotic Force inside was full, unable to accept even another strand of Chaotic Force.
Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes. His gaze landed on the fleshly core in his hand subconsciously, and he could not help but smile in satisfaction.
“Very nice. After reaching the peak of the fifteenth layer of the Chaotic Body, only around a hundredth of the energy in Gusta’s fleshly core has been consumed. Fortunately, I had gained this back then on the Desolate Plane, or further increases in the Chaotic Body would be riddled with difficulty.” With a flip of his hand, Gusta’s fleshly core vanished, having been stowed away in his Space Ring.
At this moment, gentle rumbling rang out from a seemingly-distant place and reached Jian Chen’s ears. Together with it were two pulses of energy that belonged to Infinite Primes.
Jian Chen was slightly surprised. He extended the senses of his soul instinctively, and it reached several million kilometers away immediately, enveloping the entire region of battle instantly.
Two balls of powerful energy that belonged to Infinite Primes clashed rapidly in the region of battle, producing a deafening rumble. The sharp Laws of the Sword and the brutal Laws of Slaughter collided again and again. The clash was extremely intense, and they fought until even the space trembled violently.
If it were not for the fact that the nameless planet was enveloped in powerful formations, the collision between the two Primordial realm laws probably would have made this region of space collapse long ago.
However, no matter how violent and destructive the pulses of energy were, they could not even shake the senses of the soul that had already become as powerful as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime’s.
As a result, the powerful senses of Jian Chen’s soul moved through the battlefield and made out everything clearly.
“Sacredfeather!” Jian Chen immediately became excited. The two clashing Infinite Primes were Sacredfeather and Shen Jian.
Even he had no idea how long he had cultivated for this time. When he opened his eyes again, Sacredfeather was already brimming with energy, wrapped up with Shen Jian in a battle at full swing.
In the next moment, Jian Chen’s figure vanished. He had already used the Laws of Space to arrive at the outskirts of the battle like he had teleported. The pulses of energy from the battle slammed against Jian Chen, which made his hair fly about madly. His clothes ruffled too.
“Greetings, senior Wind!”
The senses of Jian Chen’s soul were still not enough to discover senior Wind. Only when he arrived here did he discover that senior Wind was actually here too. Immediately, he clasped his fist and bowed in utter respect.
Senior Wind’s appearance had not changed at all. He was still dishevelled and dressed in tatters, just like a beggar. He nodded at Jian Chen before casting his gaze back at Shen Jian and Sacredfeather.
Jian Chen did not disturb their battle. He simply stood next to senior Wind, also paying full attention to the two people fighting.
With his insight, he could tell with a single glance that Sacredfeather and Shen Jian were both using their full strength. They basically did not hold back at all, unleashing secret techniques and God Tier Battle Skills endlessly. It seemed like a battle to the death.
If an outsider saw this, they probably might actually believe there was some irresolvable grievance between the two of them.
However, Jian Chen understood that since there was senior Wind here, someone who had already become a “half-step Grand Exalt”, their lives would not be in any danger at all no matter how they fought.
“Not bad, not bad…” Senior Wind smiled slightly and praised from time to time. However, it was a mystery whether he was praising Shen Jian or Sacredfeather when he said “not bad”.
Jian Chen also became filled with surprise very soon. Although the two of them were both Infinite Primes, Sacredfeather’s strength was at the Second Heavenly Layer, while Shen Jian’s cultivation was at the Third Heavenly Layer. However, the end result of the battle left Jian Chen rather dumbstruck. Sacredfeather, who was only a Second Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, actually managed to completely overwhelm the Third Heavenly Layer Shen Jian.
Sacredfeather, who was disadvantaged in terms of cultivation, actually completely gained the upper hand.
“Sacredfeather is actually so powerful. Looking at his battle prowess, it’s completely possible for him to challenge a Fourth Heavenly Layer expert with his strength at the Second Heavenly Layer. Some regular Fourth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes might not even be Sacredfeather’s opponent.” Jian Chen was shocked. This was the first time he had witnessed Sacredfeather’s strength so clearly.
“Alright, you both can stop,” Senior Wind said suddenly.
Senior Wind’s words contained power. Anything he said and did could make the laws of the world respond. As soon as he said that, an invisible power pulled Sacredfeather and Shen Jian apart.
Sacredfeather and Shen Jian stopped. They both made their way over to senior Wind and clasped their fists.
Right now, they were both bloodied as if they were doused in blood. However, these were only superficial scratches, nothing too heavy.
“Brother, you’ve roused?” Sacredfeather discovered Jian Chen. His young, valiant, and resolute face immediately became filled with undisguisable joy and excitement.
Jian Chen nodded with a smile. Sacredfeather’s complete recovery and his extraordinary battle prowess left Jian Chen utterly delighted. It also made him feel that his trip to the Darkstar World had not been in vain.
Right now, Sacredfeather had successfully turned the great misfortune into a huge opportunity.
“Sacredfeather’s bloodline is extremely powerful. Shen Jian, you’re still not Sacredfeather’s opponent right now, but there’s no need to be downhearted, as you still haven’t matured completely. You still have many abilities that are not completely ready. Once you truly mature, even if you pale in comparison to Sacredfeather, the difference won’t be as great as right now,” senior Wind said amiably.
“Senior Wind, do you mean that even if all aspects of me completely mature, I’ll still be worse than Sacredfeather?” Shen Jian was rather dejected.
“Don’t compare yourself with Sacredfeather. There really aren’t a lot of races in this world that can compare to Sacredfeather’s bloodline. Even if you recover your bloodline as a member of the Starry Sword race to the very peak and reach the same level as the first ancestor of the Starry Sword race, you’ll still be a little worse off compared to Sacredfeather, let alone right now when your bloodline is still very thin.”
“Shen Jian, you’re actually extremely outstanding. Your talent is almost unprecedented even across the entire Saints’ World. Few can rival you. You’re just slightly worse off by birth.” The Wind Venerable paused. As if he felt what he said was not completely enough, he added, “Actually, you can’t even say you’re worse off by birth. After all, there are only so many races with such powerful bloodlines across the six worlds.”
Hearing how senior Wind that he believed to be almost invincible praise Sacredfeather’s bloodline so much, Shen Jian immediately became rather shocked. He could not help but look at Sacredfeather and ask curiously, “Sacredfeather, just what is your bloodline?”
Sacredfeather said nothing, but senior Wind said, “If I’ve guessed correctly, Sacredfeather should be a Sacredfeathered Tiger Emperor that only exists in the legends.”
