Chapter 3364: The Seven Rulers
Before the Divine Armour of Heavenflight hit the ground, Jian Chen appeared silently and grabbed it.
He stared at the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and studied it for a while. He was gradually surprised and could not help but become solemn. Only after further, lengthy confirmation did he think in praise, “This divine armour is definitely not just a regular high quality god artifact. Its quality is even above the Neptunean Divine Palace.”
“Its past owner must have been a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. Unfortunately, the divine armour has also gone through some intense battle, such that it’s severely damaged now. Repairing it is an almost-impossible challenge.”
“Otherwise, with the divine armour’s unique function and the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race, it would truly be flawless. After going into hiding, I should be able to avoid detection from even Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes, even though it won’t be enough to fool sovereigns.”
Jian Chen felt some pity. Of course, he was aware that even if this armour was truly repaired, it would still pale somewhat in comparison to the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race.
After all, the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race did not require any energy to use. In other words, anyone could use it, regardless of cultivation.
The Divine Armour of Heavenflight was different. As a high quality god artifact, it exhausted energy at an astonishing rate. Without sufficient strength, it was completely impossible to use it.
Even the Blood Slaughter Ruler with his cultivation could only use it for short moments at a time.
Stowing the Divine Armour of Heavenflight away, Jian Chen returned to the top of the bisected mountain. He was completely unfazed by the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s death.
The Blood Slaughter Ruler was a paramount existence in the Wood Spirits World, but he was nothing in Jian Chen’s eyes.
“I never thought the Blood Slaughter Ruler would just perish like this. Sigh.”
The Heaven Fighting Ruler had already arrived, standing beside the Jade Heaven Ruler. He stared at where the Blood Slaughter Ruler had died and lamented over his death.
Soon, he turned towards Jian Chen. He felt both fear and respect.
Jian Chen’s strength earned his fear. Even an existence as powerful as the Blood Slaughter Ruler had been slain effortlessly by him.
If he decided to go on a rampage in the Wood Spirits World with such strength, truly no one could stop him in the current Wood Spirits World.
He happened to possess enough strength to dominate the world, yet he did not abuse it. That was what earned him the Heaven Fighting Ruler’s respect.
“He actually killed the Blood Slaughter Ruler effortlessly.” The Jade Heaven Ruler was also astounded inside. She had once always held doubts over Jian Chen’s actual strength. She did not believe Jian Chen could actually kill the Blood Slaughter Ruler so easily.
When she personally witnessed the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s death, she finally understood Jian Chen’s strength and capabilities.
At this moment, the Heaven Fighting Ruler arrived before Jian Chen. He smiled kindly and cupped his fist. “Fellow Jian Chen, the Scarlet Blood Domain is yours from now onwards. I hope the three domains can work together to the benefit of each other and remain on good terms forever.”
The Heaven Fighting Ruler clearly said that without much confidence, as the difference in strength between the three rulers was growing wider and wider. Just the Jade Heaven Ruler with her twelve ancestral imprints was enough to stifle his breath.
After all, times had changed. Without the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s threat, their alliance of the past no longer existed. It no longer held any meaning.
Jian Chen shook his head. “You and Jade Heaven can manage the Scarlet Blood Domain. I have no interest nor desire to expand my territory.”
“We’ll leave the Scarlet Blood Domain alone for now. After all, the Wood Spirits World will gain seven new rulers soon. The situation will change once again. You can leave the Scarlet Blood Domain until then,” said the Jade Heaven Ruler in suggestion.
The three of them expressed a simple opinion over the territory of the Scarlet Blood Domain before all taking their leave.
Jian Chen remained where he was, carefully watching over the seven experts’ breakthroughs and keeping an eye out for them personally.
The death of the Blood Slaughter Ruler spread through the Wood Spirits World very quickly, immediately leading to a great uproar. Countless Wood Spirits were left dumbfounded. They struggled to believe the news.
Who knew how many years it had been since a ruler perished. The Peace region, Grand Heaven Domain, and Jade Centre Domain were all shocked, unable to recover from the sudden news.
As for the Scarlet Blood Domain, they were obviously the one that was most heavily affected. All of the ancestors of peak sects in the Scarlet Blood Domain emerged from secluded cultivation, recalling all of their experts like they were facing a powerful enemy’s onslaught.
All of the experts under the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s command gathered in the Divine Palace of Scarlet Blood. Their faces were all sunken, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
They were all aware that the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s death would definitely have a wide-reaching effect on the Wood Spirits World, and the most affected party would obviously be the Scarlet Blood Domain previously under the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s rule.
They were also aware that they were no longer in charge of the Scarlet Blood Domain’s fate.
……
…
Jian Chen was completely unconcerned with the situation of the Wood Spirits World. During this time, he remained in the depths of the remote mountain range, focusing on the breakthrough of these seven people.
He had even gradually begun to forget about the Peace region. His primary objective for becoming the lord of the Peace region was to gather the resources of the Peace region to heal.
Now that his soul was virtually completely healed, the Peace region no longer possessed any value in his eyes.
The flow of time never stopped. In the blink of an eye, Jian Chen had already watched over the mountain for five years. During those five years, he devoted a large number of resources into the seven experts, brewing Comprehension Tea again and again. The total amount of God Tier Comprehension Tea Leaves he had used up surpassed fifty.
Unfortunately, the seven experts did not overcome the final barrier.
Increasing their strength in the Wood Spirits World seemed to be much more difficult than the Saints’ World. Even with Comprehension Tea, going from the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime to Chaotic Prime still was not easy.
“They actually still haven’t broken through. I refuse to believe I can’t let the seven of you reach Chaotic Prime with the resources in my possession.” Jian Chen made up his mind and directly took out five leaves of sixth grade God Tier Comprehension Tea.
After drinking the tea brewed from those leaves, the Mayhemless Heavenly King finally reached Chaotic Prime.
Immediately, a tremendous presence radiated from him, filling the surroundings and sweeping out into the world.
Jian Chen immediately enveloped the Mayhemless Heavenly King with the Laws of Space, isolating all of his presence just in case he affected the six others.
Three days later, the Mayhemless Heavenly King completed his breakthrough. He arrived before Jian Chen in a flash and bowed deeply. His face was filled with respect from the bottom of his heart.
After the Mayhemless Heavenly King, a second ruler was born after another seven days. The Deadwood Heavenly King completed his breakthrough too, reaching Chaotic Prime.
“Deadwood thanks the ruler for his generosity.” The Deadwood Heavenly King was extremely grateful, also bowing deeply towards Jian Chen.
With the first round of sixth grade God Tier Comprehension Tea, only the Mayhemless Heavenly King and Deadwood Heavenly King completed their breakthroughs. The five others were still stuck at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime.
However, in order to assemble nine Wood Spirits Chaotic Primes, Jian Chen did not hold back. With a flip of his hand, a few sixth grade God Tier Comprehension Tea Leaves appeared once again. After brewing the tea, he split it between the five of them.
Under Jian Chen’s full, unconditional support, the five remaining Wood Spirits experts finally all broke through to Chaotic Prime a month later.
Chaotic Prime also meant they were now rulers!
At that moment, the Wood Spirits had gained another seven rulers in such a short span of time!
“I’ve finally assembled nine Chaotic Primes that are also Wood Spirits.” Jian Chen smiled victoriously as he gazed at the seven Chaotic Primes that stood straight before him.
With the seven Chaotic Primes before him and the Jade Heaven Ruler and Heaven Fighting Ruler, he had finally fulfilled the conditions for entering the stone door.
Even though it had cost him a tremendous amount of Comprehension Tea, everything was worth it to him as long as he could enter the stone door.
