Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3151

Chapter 3151: A Hazy Path Ahead

Jian Chen thought to himself, “The sixteenth layer of the Chaotic Body should be equivalent to the Third Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime. If I infer from that, then the seventeenth layer should be the Sixth Heavenly Layer, and the eighteenth layer should be the Ninth Heavenly Layer!”
“According to the sword spirits, the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime is the limit of the Chaotic Body, as no one has managed to surpass the eighteenth layer in the sword spirits’ memories.”
“Past the eighteenth layer is the Great Perfection of the Chaotic Body, while Great Perfection has only been an obscure legend to this very day. It only exists as a fantasy, as a concept.”
He had already reached the sixteenth layer. Standing at such a height, he obviously possessed an even deeper understanding of the Chaotic Body. Even though he had yet to reach the eighteenth layer, he simply had a feeling through his understanding and familiarity of the Chaotic Body.
He felt that the eighteenth layer of the Chaotic Body was not the end, except the path after that seemed to be blocked by something.
Or perhaps he needed to achieve certain stringent conditions if he wanted to continue down that path.
“Are the ways of this world preventing the Chaotic Body from breaking through?” Jian Chen could not help but think of the Martial Soul Mountain.
The Martial Soul lineage was also unable to reach Grand Prime. The past members of the Martial Soul lineage were all stuck at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime in terms of both comprehension and cultivation.
Afterwards, when the Martial Soul lineage gathered nine successors, they created a period of glory. Jian Chen had no idea just how powerful the nine successors of the Martial Soul lineage had become during this period.
However, he did know that the nine successors possessed the power to contend against Grand Exalts when they were gathered together.
It was also from that period onwards that the nine successors of the Martial Soul lineage seemed to break free from a certain restraint. Their cultivations were no longer bound by their comprehension, allowing them to reach Grand Prime despite still being Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes.
However, in an even more distant age, during the age when the Tower of Radiance had been created, the Martial Soul lineage had a Grand Exalt.
The master of the Tower of Radiance was a Grand Exalt, as well as a successor of the Martial Soul lineage!
“The Martial Soul lineage isn’t truly unable to reach Grand Prime. Something unknown must have happened during the age following the master of the Tower of Radiance, which was why the future successors of the Martial Soul lineage were unable to break through.”
“And first senior brother Hun Zang once said that the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths had studied this secret that prevents the Martial Soul lineage from breaking through. In the end, he said they were obstructed by the ways.”
“The Martial Soul lineage can’t reach Grand Prime. The Chaotic Body can’t reach Grand Prime either. Is the Chaotic Body perhaps also obstructed by the ways?” Jian Chen sank deep into his thoughts.
In the past, the eighteenth layer of the Chaotic Body was still too distant from him, so he did not think too much about these issues, but now that he was getting closer and closer to the eighteenth layer, the limitations of the Chaotic Body gradually began to affect him.
But after a good while of speculation, Jian Chen came up with no ideas at all, so he simply shook his head and set these thoughts aside for now. He tossed aside all of these random thoughts and continued to ingest the remaining God Tier heavenly resources.
The Chaotic Body had just broken through. After being compressed, the Chaotic Force in his dantian was basically in a depleted state. He had to replenish it immediately.
The battles in the future would be even more intense. He would struggle to deal with them without ample Chaotic Force!
“Hmm? Low grade God Tier heavenly resources are basically useless to me?” However, when Jian Chen ingested a low grade God Tier heavenly resource, he was immediately taken aback.
He discovered that the energy provided to him by the low grade God Tier heavenly resource was insignificant. It was so little that it was basically negligible.
“Looks like only mid grade God Tier heavenly resources will work on me now. Even mid grade God Tier heavenly resources increase my cultivation by a very limited amount now. Sigh, it’s getting more and more difficult to strengthen the Chaotic Body.” Jian Chen was rather worried. He sighed gently. He could imagine that the energy required to reach the seventeenth layer of the Chaotic Body would be so great that even if he used up all the resources from a wealthy, peak organisation like the Heavenly Crane clan, it might not be enough.
The energy required to reach the seventeenth layer was at least ten times greater than the amount required to go from the fifteenth layer to the sixteenth layer. Perhaps it was even several dozen times more!
That was all because he cultivated Chaotic Force. Even though it was only false Chaotic Force, purifying regular energy to such a level obviously required a terrifying amount of quantity to achieve a change in quality.
Moreover, whenever he broke through, it was not just a breakthrough of cultivation. It tempered his body at the same time.
He required a colossal amount of Chaotic Force to temper his body with each breakthrough.
It was basically as clear as day just how much energy he needed.
And that was just reaching the seventeenth layer. When it came to the eighteenth layer, that was beyond his imagination.
Very soon, all of the heavenly resources that could strengthen his cultivation were exhausted, providing only a few strands of Chaotic Force to Jian Chen.
“Mu’er, let’s go. It’s time for a harvest.” Jian Chen stood up. As he sensed the explosive power within his body, he could not help but be filled with a hearty enthusiasm. He called Shangguan Mu’er, and the two of them immediately set off for the depths.
In the depths of the Xuanhuang Microcosm, a fiery-red fruit grew on a small tree on a precipitous cliff face, giving off a fiery, red glow.
The fruit was a mid grade God Tier heavenly resource.
Nearby, a colossal python several hundred metres in length coiled around an outcrop, flicking its tongue as it watched the heavenly resource closely.
The python possessed the strength of a Second Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime.
At this moment, a violent explosion of air appeared in the distance, moving extremely quickly like rolling thunder.
The python looked over instinctively and immediately spotted a figure running over at a terrifying speed, kicking up a startling gust of wind. Just the storm he created when he ran could uproot countless trees beside him, sweeping boulders after boulders into the air.
The python narrowed its eyes and raised its head high into the air. Under the warning of his instincts, it felt extremely threatened.
Suddenly, the figure leapt into the air, springing up from the ground like a cannonball that had been fired at high speeds. With sweeping winds and a thunderous explosion, he approached the python with unbelievable speed.
Boom!
With a great rumble, the tiny figure and the colossal python collided; it was like the collision of two stars. It erupted with devastating activity.
