Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3248: Further Setbacks

Chapter 3248: Further Setbacks

“Jian Chen, will it really be enough to save Rui Di and the others if you just head over yourself? If you’re not capable of saving them, then I’ll have missed out on the opportunity to seek help from the sect, and they’ll probably be dead for sure,” Zhi Ye questioned. She was filled with worry. After all, this directly determined Rui Di and the others’ fates, so she could not afford to be careless at all.
Jian Chen’s speed left her shocked, but she still refused to believe the person she had encountered in the Neptunean Divine Palace a thousand years ago had grown to a level where she could no longer see through him.
“If it’s just a medium quality god artifact, then there obviously won’t be any problems. If it’s a high quality god artifact, then even if you return to your sect, your ancestors will probably be powerless as well. Even the weakest high quality god artifact cannot be destroyed by any regular Grand Prime,” said Jian Chen.
Zhi Ye became troubled when she heard that. Their sect really did not have any Grand Primes. The strongest ancestors were all Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes.
After all, the dragon and phoenix clans had only arrived in the Saints’ World recently. It had only been around a million years so far. They had yet to produce any Grand Primes.
“Are you certain you can deal with a medium quality god artifact? Jian Chen, what exactly is your strength now?” Zhi Ye stared at Jian Chen and glanced at the rapidly-receding landscape around her, asking with uncertainty.
Right now, her wounds were rapidly healing under the effects of the Twin-headed Lotus.
“You should be referring to the Laws of Space, right? It’s at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime right now!” Jian Chen said indifferently. In order to comfort Zhi Ye, he could only expose his strength.
“What? T-t-the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime!” Zhi Ye immediately widened her eyes. She was left tongue-tied and dumbstruck.
Jian Chen traversed galaxies with Zhi Ye, rushing through outer space. Under his terrifying speed that could rival Grand Primes, he reached the location of the dwelling as indicated on the star chart.
It was a colossal meteor that hovered in outer space without moving. It was extremely large, better described as a miniature planet than a meteor. It was a dead planet completely devoid of life, having sunken into silence.
As soon as he arrived, Jian Chen sent out the senses of his soul. He enveloped the dead planet instantly with his senses at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime. There were no more secrets on the planet in his eyes.
Immediately, he located the dwelling. Zhi Ye and he vanished silently from outer space. When they appeared again, they had already arrived in a mountain on the dead planet.
It was a huge basin surrounded by towering mountains. At the very centre of the basin was a bottomless hole.
Jian Chen flew straight into the hole with Zhi Ye. After passing through a natural concealing formation, he arrived in the depths of the hole very soon.
That was basically the centre of the dead planet.
In the very depths of the dead planet was a colossal, natural cavern. Many traces of formations lingered in the surroundings, but they had all been destroyed by force or had stopped functioning due to running out of energy.
The cavern was a mess as far as the eye could see. Many footprints were scattered in the surroundings, and many of the rooms had been flipped through. Clearly, the people from the Sect of Dragons and Phoenixes had searched all of them.
In the depths of the cavern stood a medium quality God Tier divine hall.
From the outside, the entire divine hall was dull as if it had lost all of its energy. Even the gate to the divine hall was wide open as if it had lost all of its powers.
The senses of Jian Chen’s soul swept out, surging into the divine hall like a tsunami. It filled all the space inside the divine hall instantly.

There was no response from the divine hall as if the artifact spirit had already perished. There was only a certain region within the divine hall that had powerful formations pulsing with energy, blocking the senses of Jian Chen’s soul.
When he saw the formations, Jian Chen’s eyes immediately shone. His gaze became slightly colder. In the next moment, he appeared before the formation with Zhi Ye.
“Yeah, this is it. Rui Di and the others are trapped in here.” Gazing at the formation before her eyes, Zhi Ye immediately became worked up, calling out frantically, “Rui Di and the others can’t last for much longer. We don’t even know their situation right now. Quick, Jian Chen. Destroy the formation!”
Jian Chen was worried for Rui Jin, Hong Lian, and Hei Yu’s safety, so he immediately got to work. The senses of his soul swept through the divine hall and even the cavern furiously as he pressed his hand against the formation gently.
In the next moment, a spatial storm suddenly erupted in the formation before them. The Laws of Space appeared in the air, forming a series of chains over the formation. A large number of spatial cracks wove together as well, appearing in the form of black threads.
Under the assault of Jian Chen’s Laws of Space, the formation that Zhi Ye had been powerless about and had escaped at a great price immediately became littered with cracks.
The entire formation was like a fragile piece of china, becoming covered in cracks. Finally, with a rumble, the entire formation collapsed.
With the formation’s collapse, everything inside was exposed to the two of them. A man with grey hair sat on the ground without a shred of power. His life force was extremely faint. Whether it was his vital energies or his energy, it had almost all been depleted. He was already close to death.
Many bottles were scattered around the man. All the pills inside had been consumed.
“Rui Di!” Zhi Ye cried out.
She arrived before the man with a flash and lifted his head gently, revealing a face that was not only pale-white, but covered in wrinkles too.
He was Rui Di. He was also an Infinite Prime, but at this moment, he had gone from a valiant man to an old man on his last breath.
Clearly, Rui Di was already unconscious. His eyes were firmly shut, completely unaware of what was going on around him.
Apart from him, there was no one else in the formation.
“His vital energies, cultivation, and even life force has been mostly drained by this vicious formation underground. If we had gotten here a little later, he would have been completely beyond help.” Jian Chen’s face was sunken. His eyes were filled with killing intent. He stomped the ground, and the entire divine hall shook. A formation hidden deep underground immediately collapsed.
He strode over to Rui Di and took out a Twin-headed Lotus contaminated with Xuanhuang Qi without any hesitation, shoving it into his mouth in one fluid motion.
The Twin-headed Lotus’ healing effects were extremely potent. It could heal all the wounds that a cultivator suffered from inside to out, whether it was their soul or the core of their powers. Even if their foundations were damaged, Twin-headed Lotuses could still heal it.
Meanwhile, Twin-headed Lotuses contaminated with Xuanhuang Qi had healing effects that were even more potent.
Soon after he had ingested the Twin-headed Lotus, Rui Di woke up. He opened his eyes slowly, except his eyes were unfocused, clearly still a little disoriented.
“Zhi Ye, I-I-I can’t keep going. I can’t hang on for much longer, Y-y-you need to take them out of here,” Rui Di slurred with difficulty. He was extremely feeble. Afterwards, with his trembling hand, he took out a delicate divine hall and passed it to Zhi Ye with great difficulty.
All of the people from the Sect of Dragons and Phoenixes were inside the divine hall. Rui Di endured all of the danger himself, using his full strength to protect and shelter his clansmen.
Jian Chen sent the senses of his soul into the divine hall in Rui Di’s hand. When he saw how Rui Jin, Hong Lian, and Hei Yu were all fine inside, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.
“Rui Di, we’re saved. We’ve already destroyed the formation here. You’ll be able to recover very soon. L-let’s return to the Sect of Dragons and Phoenixes.” Zhi Ye was heartbroken when she saw the toll that Rui Di had endured. Her eyes reddened and misted over. She was utterly sorrowful, but even more, there was lingering fear.
She was well aware that with her speed, she would have never made it in time if she rushed back to the Sect of Dragons and Phoenixes. Before the reinforcements had even arrived, Rui Di would have perished already.
If she had not encountered Jian Chen along the way, she probably would never see Rui Di again.
Zhi Ye helped Rui Jin to his feet, about to take him away from here.
Jian Chen took out a divine hall and said, “Zhi Ye, bring Rui Di into this divine hall to rest up. We still can’t leave right now.”
Zhi Ye was taken aback, clearly rather uncertain about the reason, but soon afterwards, her expression changed. Great mist had already silently appeared around them, blotting out the surroundings and swallowing everything.
