Chapter 3435: Coming Across Heartless

“I can’t use my Laws of Space to travel in the chaotic sea, so I can only rely on the Source of Life’s power to fly slowly towards the Immortals’ World,” Jian Chen thought. He felt extremely powerless. If he could not use the Laws of Space to travel, then so be it, but he could clearly sense that he moved extremely slowly through the chaotic sea.

In the Saints’ World, even if he did not rely on the Laws of Space, he could easily cross millions of kilometres with each instant with his cultivation as a Chaotic Prime.

But right now in the chaotic sea, he travelled ten thousand kilometres with each instant at most.

Compared to the Saints’ World, even when he was not using the Laws of Space, he was more than a hundred times slower.

“Travelling through the chaotic space is more about personal cultivation and energy. Experts like Grand Exalts obviously traverse the chaotic sea like flat land. They can do it with ease, while I am only a Chaotic Prime.” Jian Chen smiled in a rather self-deprecating manner. He was probably the person with the weakest cultivation in history to enter the chaotic sea.

He travelled along a straight path towards the Immortals’ World. He was not worried about losing his sense of direction. Not only were the sword spirits able to sense the location of the Immortals’ World at all times, but the Wind Venerable had given him an item to find his direction before he left the Saints’ World.

The Chaotic Force in his body was being constantly depleted. The defence formed by the Source of Life completely relied on his Chaotic Force to be sustained.

There were no celestial bodies in the chaotic sea, nor any origin energy. It was a space of void filled with Chaotic Force, so there was obviously no concept of time.

As a result, even Jian Chen himself had no idea how long he had spent in the chaotic sea. He could only sense that he was getting further and further away from the Saints’ World.

The battle between the sovereigns from the Saints’ World and the Immortals’ and Demons’ Worlds had left his senses a long time ago because this was the chaotic space. It was filled with Chaotic Force. Even the colossal disturbances caused by the battle between sovereigns would be severely weakened.

In any major world, the moment a sovereign struck, it would lead to a great shockwave, shaking up an entire dimension.

But in the chaotic space, the intense battles between sovereigns were only some small waves in the vast ocean.

“Fortunately, the Chaotic Force in my body has already been filled to the brim by the half a piece of Chaotic Fruit of Ways. My energy is extremely abundant, or I really might not be able to cross the chaotic sea alone.” Jian Chen rejoiced inside. At this moment, he could clearly sense his chaotic neidan shrinking.

His Chaotic Force was being depleted at an unprecedented rate.

However, it was more than enough for him to make it to the Immortals’ World.

At this moment, the Chaotic Force in front of Jian Chen suddenly rippled.

Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed as he stared straight ahead. He could vaguely make out an illusionary figure that flashed past him.

However, due to the chaos Qi, even he failed to see the figure clearly.

“It gives off a sense of familiarity. It feels as if I’ve seen it somewhere before?” Jian Chen furrowed his brows. For some reason, he abruptly developed a sense of uneasiness.

“Hmm?”

At the same time, a gasp filled with surprise rang out from in front of Jian Chen. The figure that had just flashed past returned, appearing before Jian Chen again. The two of them rapidly approached one another.

“It’s the Heartless Child!”

As they got closer, Jian Chen finally made out the familiar figure, which made his face change drastically.

Without any hesitation, he immediately changed directions and shot off elsewhere at full speed.

After meeting the Wind Venerable, he had already learnt of the Heartless Child’s true colours. He knew he was an enemy, not a friend. Now that he had encountered him in the chaotic sea and had the sovereign god artifact of the Wood Spirits over his head, who knew what would happen in the end.

The Heartless Child seemed like a child of around eight or nine in age. His face was innocent and naive and his skin was tender. In particular, his round cheeks basically gave people the irresistible urge to pinch them.

However, his gaze was filled with a colour that completely contrasted with his physical age. They were a pair of aged eyes that seemed to have withstood the erosion of time, having grown accustomed to the rise and fall of numerous ages.

“Hmm? Jian Chen!” The Heartless Child clearly recognised him as well. He blinked his eyes in a slightly dazed manner, becoming extremely stunned as if he had just seen a ghost.

“It’s actually Jian Chen. There isn’t something wrong with my eyes, right? How can he appear here?” The Heartless Child rubbed his eyes. He found it very difficult to believe.

What place was this? This was the chaotic sea. How could Jian Chen appear in a place like this with his ant-like strength?

But shortly afterwards, the Heartless Child discovered the Source of Life over his head, and his eyes immediately shone brightly. All of the fatigue on his face vanished too. He became extremely invigorated.

“The Source of Life. It’s actually the Wood Spirits’ Source of Life. Hahahaha…” The Heartless Child directly rushed over as he laughed aloud.

With his strength as an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, his speed was obviously faster than Jian Chen’s.

As a result, in just a few seconds, the Heartless Child arrived in front of Jian Chen and blocked his path.

Jian Chen became extremely stern. He was in the chaotic sea right now. The environment was extremely special. He knew that since he had caught the Heartless Child’s attention, it would be impossible for him to escape.

“So it’s senior Heartless. I didn’t expect to encounter senior in the chaotic sea. Destiny sure brings us together.” Jian Chen cupped his fist as his heart immediately sank.

He saw a sovereign god artifact on the Heartless Child, the Sceptre of Life!

The Sceptre of Life was one of the two sovereign god artifacts of the Wood Spirits.

“It’s the Sceptre of Life, Jian Chen! It’s the Sceptre of Life!” the artifact spirit of the Source of Life cried out happily. It became extremely excited.

“Stop calling out. Can’t you tell how much trouble we’re in? We’re up against an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. I’m not the opponent of someone like that,” Jian Chen replied sternly.

The artifact spirit of the Source of Life immediately fell quiet. It was extremely clever, so it realised the situation it was in with a single glance.

The Heartless Child studied Jian Chen in some intrigue, but his gaze soon became fixed on the Source of Life. He was particularly excited. He could not help but smile brightly. “Jian Chen, could you tell me how you obtained the Source of Life?”

The Heartless Child had already lost complete interest in why Jian Chen was in the chaotic sea. All that remained in his eyes now was the Source of Life.

“Senior Heartless, I obtained the Source of Life through a coincidence,” said Jian Chen as he thought rapidly, trying to come up with a plan to escape.

“A coincidence, is it?” The Heartless Child did not say anything definite. He smiled even more brightly and added, “Let’s just say it was a coincidence, but none of that is important. What is important is I’ve taken a liking to the Source of Life. Jian Chen, tell me, exactly how can I obtain it willingly?”
