Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3946: Battle in the Sea of Consciousness

The moment the Primeval artifact spirit finished speaking, two intense beams of radiance erupted within Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness.

The power of the sword spirits had arrived!

Having been nourished by the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing, the sword spirits had regained a significant portion of their energy. These twin beams of violet and azure light transformed into two phantasmal blades, stabbing into the dark domain of the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy with irresistible force.

Vast expanses of shadow were instantly purged from the section of the sea of consciousness that the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy had claimed.

With the combined might of the twin swords and the Primeval Divine Hall, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s influence was violently pushed back. The ninety-nine percent of Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness he had previously seized rapidly dwindled until only a third remained.

If his power were to be completely eradicated, it would signify more than just a failed possession; he would suffer a catastrophic backlash.

In that instant, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy seemed to freeze. For a brief window, he failed to offer any resistance against the crushing force of the twin swords and the Primeval Divine Hall.

The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy was utterly stunned. He stood dazed, having recognized the identity of the twin swords. The shock was so profound that it momentarily paralyzed his will to fight.

Given his level of cultivation, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy understood the significance of those blades all too well. It was no exaggeration to say that the shock of seeing the twin swords far surpassed the astonishment he felt upon discovering Jian Chen held both the Source of Life and the Primeval Divine Hall.

“The Azulet swords... the Azulet swords. It is truly the legendary Azulet swords. To think these legendary items would resurface here after being lost for over three million years…” The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s voice shook with emotion. His heart pounded with a mixture of turbulence and sheer disbelief.

The scene unfolding before him made even a peak Seventh Heavenly Layer expert feel as though he were trapped in a dream. The reality was simply too surreal to grasp.

A mere Immortal Emperor, a youth no better than an ant, was actually concealing three sovereign god artifacts. Among them were the Azulet swords, famous throughout the entire Immortals’ World. If such a tale were told to others, who could possibly believe it?

During the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s momentary lapse, his territory was slashed down to a mere fifth by the twin swords and the Primeval Divine Hall. Just as he was about to be expelled entirely and face the consequences of a failed possession, the offensive of the sovereign god artifacts suddenly stalled. They found themselves unable to advance even a single step further.

“Hahahahaha! I never imagined such a magnificent destiny would find me today. The ancestors are surely smiling upon me…” Suddenly, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy let out a roar of pure excitement. Within the remaining shadows, an illusory figure began to solidify. His gaze burned with a terrifying mixture of greed and insanity.

The presence of three sovereign god artifacts, especially the legendary Azulet swords, had driven the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy into a state of total frenzy.

Suddenly, the phantom figure formed from the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul power began weaving hand seals within Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness. A thick black mist erupted, instantly manifesting into a massive form. It radiated a bizarre power that rattled the sea of consciousness, bearing down directly on the Primeval artifact spirit.

Bang!

A thunderous explosion echoed through Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness. The internal world seemed to convulse violently. The Primeval artifact spirit’s power was actually repelled by the figure of the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy.

Without pause, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy struck again. Employing the same secret technique, he condensed a finger from his soul essence and struck the twin swords. The collision of these two forces resulted in the twin swords being forced backward as well.

The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy immediately went on the offensive, rapidly reclaiming his lost ground. He struck repeatedly, his illusory form battling the two sovereign god artifacts within the sea of consciousness. Remarkably, he managed to hold back both the Primeval Divine Hall and the Azulet swords by himself.

Even while working in tandem, the two sovereign god artifacts were proving to be no match for the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy!

Before long, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy had seized back half of the territory, dominating nearly fifty percent of Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness.

“This man’s soul mastery is incredibly profound. He is exceptionally skilled in this type of combat. You must hold him back with everything you have. The Source of Life will recover shortly,” the Primeval artifact spirit remarked with a cold snort. He felt a deep sense of irritation. In his prime, he had escaped sovereigns of the Saints’ World multiple times, yet today he was being pressured by a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. It was an insult to his pride.

Unfortunately, he could not utilize the full advantages of the Primeval Divine Hall inside Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness. Combined with his weakened state, the Primeval artifact spirit had no better options available.

The twin swords remained silent. They too recognized the threat the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy posed. Despite being inside their master’s sea of consciousness, where they should have held the home-field advantage, it felt as though they were fighting on the enemy's turf.

The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy moved with incredible poise. He cast seal after seal, unleashing a variety of secret techniques. He seemed to grow stronger as the battle progressed, handling the situation with ease.

Any other Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt might have struggled to fight within Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness, but the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy faced no such difficulties.

The conflicting powers clashed fiercely, but the darkness of the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy clearly held the upper hand. It continued to expand, eventually covering sixty percent of the sea of consciousness.

Just as the invading forces were about to claim seventy percent of the space, the Source of Life finally shattered the Spirit-sealing curse. It immediately surged into the fray to oppose the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy.

As a green sea of vibrant life force flooded Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s momentum was finally halted. The dark regions began to shrink rapidly under the pressure of the Source of Life’s power.

In terms of pure offensive power, the Source of Life was far inferior to the twin swords, as it functioned as an auxiliary sovereign god artifact. It was even less combat-oriented than the Primeval Divine Hall.

However, when it came to defense, the Source of Life clearly outclassed both the Primeval Divine Hall and the Azulet swords.

Consequently, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy found it nearly impossible to seize any territory protected by the Source of Life.

Had the twin swords and the Primeval artifact spirit been absent, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy might have been able to handle the Source of Life alone, but he was now facing a three-on-one disadvantage.

The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s advantage evaporated instantly. He was steadily pushed back by the combined might of the three sovereign god artifacts.

Furthermore, the three artifacts had already moved into a pincer maneuver, encircling the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul. They relentlessly compressed the space he occupied. Once they forced him into a small enough area, there would be no escape for the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy.
