Chapter 1246: The Red Cloud Sovereign Spirit
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When the law and the sword spirit were combined, both of them could be exerted to the full. The power of the attack would be beyond imagination. There were lots of kinds of laws, such as laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. All of them could be mastered. They were called the will of law. According to their mastering levels, they were further classified into average, excellence, extraordinariness, and superbness.
The wills of law of wind and fire Jiang Chen had mastered were still of average level, but this was already a big achievement for a Star Venerable.
In terms of sword doctrine, his Immortal Doctrine of Sword had achieved the highest level.
The Blood General did not wait doing nothing until Jiang Chen realized a breakthrough. He launched an attack holding a long sickle.
“A Ghost Strike from the Nether World!” The sickle streaked across the sky. Its radiance froze the air. An endless coldness was spreading everywhere.
It must have been a human whose blood had been sucked by the Sleeper, because the latter had mastered all of his martial arts techniques. And since the Blood General was strong himself, he exerted this movement to the height of perfection.
Standing still, Jiang Chen was waiting for the Blood General’s approach. When the sickle had been flung, a fierce wind tumbled around him, resisting the attack. The wild wind spread like a fierce fire. It could reach any corner. There was no way to defend against it at all.
“What wind is this?!” The Blood General was shocked. This wind could be compared to a legendary weapon. It was like a meat grinder.
“The Sword Method of Ksana: the fourth movement!” Jiang Chen seized the chance to throw his sword over. He and his sword both turned into a brilliant flowing light traveling around the Blood General. The sword momentum ended in less than one second, and the Blood General did not realize what had happened until he screamed with pain caused by the countless sword wounds all over his body. He opened his mouth involuntarily, feeling so nauseous that he kept moving his tongue madly.
Jiang Chen, a Star Venerable, had injured an enemy who could be compared to a Martial Emperor without turning to Tai Qing Holy Thunder. However, the Blood General could still fight. He went mad because of the pain. He jumped on Jiang Chen in a fast, fierce manner. Waving his sharp claws like crazy, he was going to tear Jiang Chen into pieces. Such brutal attacks normally had a wonderful effect.
Jiang Chen needed to accumulate force to combine the law and his sword spirit. At the moment he was taken by surprise.
“Holy thunder!” He had to raise an arm high.
He looked like a god of thunder. Thunders and lightnings listened to his orders. A sea of thunder was formed, responding to the center of the palm of his hand. Jiang Chen threw his palm over toward the mad Blood General. His Du Tian Holy Thunder was still in its earliest form, but it showed its power. It injured the Blood General heavily in an instant. Then Jiang Chen killed him with his sword.
“Whew.” Taking the Sacred Vigor Blood of the Blood General, Jiang Chen took a deep breath. “I’ve reached my limit.” No other Star Venerables had been as strong as he was—ever. However, he had reached the limit of Star Venerable. Even if he could master Du Tian Holy Thunder completely, he would not be a match for an enemy like Tian Weiyi.
Fortunately, he would get Du Tian Holy Thunder very soon. And then he would be able to challenge the life-or-death Ko of Thunder. He had achieved ten stars less than two weeks ago. At the moment he was thinking about a big state breakthrough again. He was repeating the same mistake he had made. However, if he could go through the life-or-death Ko of Thunder, none of this would be a problem.
Even if Jiang Chen had achieved ten stars from one star through taking elixirs, he would still yield great results after going through the life-or-death Ko of Thunder. The thing was no one in that situation would be able to survive the life-or-death Ko of Thunder.
In the Heavenly Palace, Jiang Chen’s practicing body heard the divine tree calling. “The divine tree will bear many fruits. This is also the best part of a Sacred Spirit,” said the divine tree.
“I’m aware of that.” It was exactly thanks to its fruit that Jiang Chen had managed to save his father.
“A Divine Creature Fruit became ripe a few days ago.” Jiang Chen was pleasantly surprised to hear that. The name of the fruit told how fabulous it was. However, the divine tree sounded as if this fruit could not become ripe easily.
“What did you do in the World of Bloody Sea?” asked the divine tree.
Jiang Chen realized something immediately. He told the divine tree about the Saint Aura right away.
“I see.” The Divine Tree of Creatures tumbled to the fact. It lit up and was shining. The divine tree covered a large area. As a result, those fierce beasts living on the Divine Prison Continent were scared out of their wits. Jiang Chen knew it meant the divine tree was happy. He hurried to ask what a Divine Creature Fruit could be used for.
“It can create infinitely.” Jiang Chen could not help but roll his eyes, thinking the divine tree had explained nothing at all.
“It can develop one’s potential. The greater one’s potential is, the greater effect the divine fruit will have.”
“So, if an average person eats it, it will be just like an ordinary fruit.”
Potential? Jiang Chen was lost in thought. He surely had potential. However, almost all of his potential should have been developed by now. Though the divine tree had told him that whether he wanted to eat the fruit or not, it only belonged to him. So, Jiang Chen picked the Divine Creature Fruit without saying anything. Since there was no actual energy increase, the effect would be the same no matter whether the practicing body or the true body took it.
At the thought of the incredible effect the Divine Creature Fruit could bring, in the World of Bloody Sea, the true body found a secure place. The Divine Creature Fruit was as big as an apple. Its peel was smooth and had a luster. The fruity smell of it made people drool. Almost driven by instinct, Jiang Chen swallowed the divine fruit. The divine fruit did not let him chew. It entered his body directly.
The light did not go out. On the contrary, it became more and more dazzling. It lit Jiang Chen up from his inside. Meanwhile, the true body in the World of Bloody Sea also gave off the same radiance. He had not felt any change in his body yet, but a spring appeared deep in his mind, with something gushing out of it ceaselessly.
Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up. He looked serious. “He still has so much potential to be developed?!”
Seeing the practicing body’s change, the Divine Tree of Creatures was very surprised. Jiang Chen was like a freak with an unparalleled talent who had not started his practicing, but by then, his potentials were evoked by the divine fruit. However, Jiang Chen was already a ten-star strongman. It was extremely unusual that he still had so many undeveloped potentials after achieving the divine body.
All of a sudden, something unexpected happened. Something deep in Jiang Chen was awakened. A red cloud kept rising, forming a vision in the sky.
“My gosh! It’s a Sovereign Spirit? Is Jiang Chen also a reincarnation of the Great Sovereign?” Azure Demon and the black dragon, who were protecting the true body, exchanged a shocked look.
Meanwhile, in the Sovereign Spirit Palace located in the Eighth Realm, a great disturbance was created. Bells tolled. The palace was in chaos.
“What kind of Sovereign Spirit can have created such a disturbance?!”
It was very noisy in the palace. People were both envious and jealous.
Then, a team formed by strong people set out to look for the person with the Sovereign Spirit. However, as soon as the team set off, all of the commotion disappeared. Not only did the bells stop tolling, but the team paused in the air, at a loss.
“Did the awakening fail?” Someone guessed. It was very difficult to wake up a Sovereign Spirit without the aid of external forces. It was impossible for the Sovereign Spirit Palace to be in peace this day.
In the World of Bloody Sea, the red cloud arising from Jiang Chen’s body went back into it again, as if it had gotten a shock.
“He failed?” Azure Demon was kind of surprised, because Jiang Chen almost never failed.
“He didn’t fail. They just don’t match,” the black dragon said meaningfully.
