Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3945: Clear and Cloudy’s Possession Attempt

The middle-aged Immortal Monarch bit into his finger, using the flowing blood to carve an ancient formation into the void.

This crimson array was intricate and baffling, radiating a profound power of the ways. Every stroke of the inscription seemed to pulse with an immense, hidden force.

Drawing this formation required a staggering sacrifice from the middle-aged man. His complexion turned deathly pale in an instant, and his sturdy frame withered away at a visible rate.

His life force drained rapidly, causing him to age prematurely as deep wrinkles etched themselves across his face.

The blood-red formation was soon finished. The moment it reached completion, the middle-aged man’s physical form seemed to evaporate, vanishing entirely from existence.

His entire being had been transmuted into a peculiar energy to fuel the crimson array. He had effectively become a sacrificial offering to ensure the formation's success.

Only his body disappeared, however. A potent soul remained behind, radiating a brilliant light as if it were constructed from the very laws of the universe.

This soul was none other than the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy from the Divine Sect of Ancient Souls.

“”

““ the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy mused internally.

He then shrouded his soul within the Spirit-sealing curse and faded away into nothingness.

A thousand kilometers distant, the seed of ways had fully integrated with Jian Chen. Profound laws rippled through his soul, plunging him into a deep state of comprehending the Laws of the Sword.

In this meditative trance, his awareness of his surroundings dropped to its lowest point. He was essentially left without any defenses.

This was due to his reliance on Xing Caijian. He trusted that with her presence, it would be nearly impossible for anyone to reach him.

Furthermore, he possessed great confidence in the Source of Life. He believed that as long as it remained with him, even a sneak attack at this critical juncture could not claim his life.

Suddenly, a formidable soul that had been lurking in the void manifested silently. Utilizing a secret technique to mask his presence, he remained undetected not only by Xing Caijian and the nearby early Immortal Exalts but even by the artifact spirit of the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.

The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star was, after all, a god artifact specialized in offense rather than all-encompassing detection.

Without a sound, the powerful soul forced its way into the crown of Jian Chen’s head.

While immersed in the Laws of the Sword, Jian Chen suddenly felt a wave of dizziness that snapped him out of his comprehension. A massive sense of impending doom flooded his mind, but before he could act, his sea of consciousness was swallowed by an absolute darkness.

The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy had invaded his form, launching a direct attempt at possession.

But Jian Chen was the chosen master of sovereign god artifacts. With three such entities residing within him, he was not a target that could be easily overtaken.

Moments later, a sphere of vibrant green light erupted within the dark void, illuminating Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness once more. It dispelled the majority of the shadows, while the Source of Life’s power began to purify the remaining darkness.

“I would not dare to possess this brat without being thoroughly prepared. Spirit-sealing curse!” the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy roared. A blood-red formation materialized instantly, merging directly into the emerald light.

The Spirit-sealing curse was incredibly complex. It used the energy of the Source of Life as a conduit to latch onto the artifact itself, sticking to it like an inescapable talisman.

The protective green radiance immediately pulled back like a receding tide within Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness. The Source of Life’s power had been successfully suppressed by the Spirit-sealing curse.

“A weakened sovereign god artifact cannot remain unaffected by my Spirit-sealing curse. Even a brief suppression is enough. I only require a fraction of a second to possess an Immortal Emperor!” the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy declared coldly. He was a master of this art; he could not only seize an Immortal Emperor's body in an instant but also consume every one of their memories. Not even the daughter of the heavenly emperor wielding the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star would see through his disguise.

“If there were any other path, I truly would have avoided resorting to possession.” The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy cast aside his doubts. With the Source of Life restrained, darkness flooded Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness again, reclaiming ninety-nine percent of the territory.

“Wait? This child’s soul is unusual!” However, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy was suddenly struck by surprise. He found it incredibly difficult to seize the final one percent of the space, facing an immense wall of resistance.

For a being of his cultivation level to face such struggle while possessing a mere Immortal Emperor was unthinkable.

“This aura feels like Chaotic Force… No, something is wrong. This isn't the false Chaotic Force. T-that is…” The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy gasped as a realization hit him. Even as a peak Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, he was overcome with shock, his heart racing in turmoil.

The sight before him shattered all his preconceived notions.

“You have picked the wrong individual to possess.” At that moment, an aged voice echoed through Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness. The spectral image of a divine hall appeared, unleashing its remaining strength. A majestic power surged through the sea of consciousness, pushing back against the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s intrusion.

“A second sovereign god artifact? This boy actually has two of them?” The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy was stunned. He had never imagined a single person could hold two sovereign god artifacts; the very idea was beyond his wildest dreams.

Even among the twelve courts of heaven, how many could boast of owning two such treasures?

But soon, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy burst into a maniacal laughter. “Excellent! Excellent! Once I have taken over this boy, both sovereign god artifacts shall be mine! Hahahahahaha…” No longer holding back, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy unleashed his full soul power, creating a violent tempest that tore through Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness.

Under the full might of the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy, the power of the Primeval Divine Hall was forced into a retreat, struggling desperately to hold its ground.

The Primeval Divine Hall’s primary strength lay in its physical durability, which even a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt would find hard to breach. However, that physical toughness was useless within the confines of a sea of consciousness.

In terms of raw energy, the Primeval Divine Hall in its current state was no match for the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy.

With his level of power, he could completely suppress sovereign god artifacts that were in a weakened state!

“Zi Ying, Qing Suo, stop hiding. What are you waiting for?” the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall shouted out in annoyance.
