Chaotic Sword God Chapter 2272 - The Corpses of Ancient Beasts

Chapter 2272: The Corpses of Ancient Beasts

Jian Chen was in no hurry to leave the concealing formation. Instead, he held his breath and concealed his presence, carefully hiding there and observing the situation at the bottom of the swamp.

Under the protection of the natural concealing formation, he silently waited until the surging mud at the bottom of the swamp gradually settled down. Only then did he beco relieved.

He knew that the owner of the powerful senses of the soul had failed to find anything. Otherwise, the thing that had shot over would not have been as simple as the senses of their soul. It would be them in person.

“The senses of the soul seed to have failed to discover the pile of powder I left there. If the powder was discovered, they would definitely know that soone has been here. If I was them, I’d definitely pay closer attention here or even visit this place in person,” thought Jian Chen as his eyes shone brighter and brighter.

Originally, he believed the rock powder he discarded could no longer hide anything as the presence from the fortune jade had leaked away. After all, the rock powder was no longer able to hide from him. Only now did he suddenly realise that while he could sense the rock powder, that did not an other experts could sense the power as well.

“If the layer of rock around the fortune jade was used properly, it would have unimaginable uses. It’s just a pity that I’ve realised this too late. I’ve chipped off all the rock already, so the presence in them is constantly leaking away. They won’t last for long,” Jian Chen was filled with regret. He sighed gently before quickly dismissing his thoughts. He temporarily put the matter of the fortune jade aside and began to study the world within the concealing formation seriously.

There was only darkness as far as the eye could see, with no light at all. It was just completely pitch-black.

However, the darkness there did not affect Jian Chen at all. His eyes shone brightly, directly piercing through the darkness and seeing the scene around him completely.

Exposed before Jian Chen was a long, narrow, and gloomy tunnel that led straight into the ground. The tunnel was twisted, spiralling down into the earth. It was impossible to see its bottom, which made it even more impossible to tell its depth.

Jian Chen sent out the senses of his soul instinctively, but to his surprise, the entire tunnel was filled with a mysterious energy that caused great obstruction to the senses of his soul. Even with his soul that had changed drastically after fusing with a sliver of Chaotic Force, having gained various unbelievable abilities, it was only able to expand five kilotres into the tunnel.

He had no idea how deep the tunnel was. Obviously, he found nothing with the limited range of his soul.

“This place is not very simple at all. Maybe there’s so unknown, astonishing secret hidden down there...”

Jian Chen hesitated slightly as he stood within the narrow tunnel before beginning to make his way down.

The underground tunnel hidden by a naturally-occurring concealing formation had piqued Jian Chen’s interest.

Jian Chen used the steps to make his way down. Along the way, he maintained his great vigilance, observing the surroundings at all tis. As a result, he did not move very quickly at all.

It was impossible to have a sense over the flow of ti in the dark tunnel. After who knows how long, Jian Chen finally reached the end of the tunnel. He was deep underground.

He glanced around. His eyes shone and pierced through the darkness, allowing him to see everything in the surroundings.

All he saw was a huge cavern. He had no idea how many tens of thousand tres it was in height, nor did he know how many tens of thousand tres it was in length. He had no idea how deep it was either.

Even Jian Chen’s eyes were unable to see the end of the cavern.

As for the senses of his soul, the restraint here beca even greater. The original five kilotres shrank to one kilotre. He could see further than that with his eyes.

Suddenly, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. The light in his eyes flickered as he stared straight ahead. He could vaguely see a colossal shadow crouching on the ground extrely far away.

It was just too far away. With Jian Chen’s eyes alone, he was only able to see a blurry shadow. He was unable to tell what it was.

Jian Chen took a step and unleashed all the power in his Chaotic Body. With a flash, he appeared several kilotres away, rapidly hurrying into the distance.

This place was extrely well-hidden. He did not need to worry about the peak experts on the Desolate Plane discovering him, so there was no need for him to continue hiding his strength.

Under Jian Chen’s full speed, he approached the huge shadow very soon. When he clearly saw what it was, he beca completely stunned.

It was a colossal, ancient beast, several hundred thousand tres long. It lied on the ground without moving at all. It was a grand sight, several tis larger than a mountain. As Jian Chen stood next to the beast with his stature, he even seed smaller than an ant.

The ancient beast had evidently died long ago. It gave off no presence of life at all, and it was covered in shackles upon shackles. Each shackle radiated with the power of laws and was firmly wrapped around the ancient beast, plunging into its flesh.

The other end of the chain directly led off towards the depths of the cavern.

Jian Chen beca sterner and sterner as he studied the corpse of the ancient beast and the shackles on it. The ancient beast had died many years ago, but the trendous vital energy within it had not run out yet. It remained as trendous as an ocean. At this mont, the trendous vital energy was being led into the depths of the cavern endlessly along the chain.

Jian Chen arrived by the corpse and slowly extended his hand to touch it. He wanted to study the internal situation of the corpse.

The corpse was warm to the touch, not icy-cold. However, before Jian Chen could touch it properly, his face suddenly changed, and with a great jolt, he wrenched back his hand imdiately. As if he was struck heavily, he staggered backwards.

The ancient beast was just too powerful when it was still alive. Although it was dead now and reduced to a corpse, the trendous vital energy within its body continued to circulate constantly. Just the regular circulation had sent Jian Chen retreating.

If it was not for reaching the Major Achievent of the Chaotic Body, he probably would have been heavily injured by that alone.

“So powerful!” Jian Chen was extrely shocked. He sensed his painful right arm that almost shattered from the huge burden as he was in awe.

The ancient beast that had died many years ago and had its vital energy drained still possess such terrifying might. Just how terrifying was it supposed to be when it was still alive then?

Suddenly, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed, and he saw another blurry shadow in the distance. It was colossal.

With a single movent, Jian Chen shot off like an arrow into the distance to see what was there.

Very soon, he arrived before the second colossal shadow. He was completely taken back when he saw what it was.

The shadow also happened to be a huge, ancient beast. He had no idea how long it had been dead for, and it was also surrounded by shackles upon shackles that plunged into the flesh. The shackles constantly drained away the trendous vital energy and funnelled it towards the depths of the cavern.

“What is this place?” Jian Chen was astounded. Both of these ancient beasts were extrely powerful and must have made a na for themselves when they were still alive, but they had been shackled underground on the Desolate Plane now, reduced to tools that provided vital energy.
