Chaotic Sword God Chapter 2378 - Awakening the Vital Energy

Chapter 2378: Awakening the Vital Energy

Beyond the concealing formation was a long, snaking tunnel that led deep underground. At this mont, all the peak experts squeezed into the narrow tunnel. The light in their eyes flickered as they felt joy, excitent, and curiosity towards the unknown. They slowly advanced through the tunnel.

They did not move too quickly, remaining vigilant and cautious the entire ti. Not only were they wary of the people around them, but they also had to remain vigilant of any sudden dangers that would appear in this unknown place.

This place was just too mysterious. Not only was there a concealing formation that they could not discover with the senses of their souls, but there was also a mysterious power that suppressed the senses of their souls. All of them had realised the extraordinariness of this mysterious place.

As a result, they were all cautious of this unknown place.

Compared to how careful they were, Jian Chen had no worries since he had been here once already and was extrely familiar with the place. He moved through the winding tunnels as quickly as he could, approaching the underground cavern that kept the corpses of the eight experts trapped.

At the sa ti, Kai Ya, who had always remained there, turned her head like she had sensed sothing. She looked at the entrance of the cavern, and a sliver of joy appeared in her eyes. She murmured, “It’s Jian Chen’s presence. Jian Chen has returned. He has finally returned after a few years.” When she sensed Jian Chen’s presence, Kai Ya imdiately beca rather eager.

However, she frowned soon afterwards. “That’s strange. Jian Chen seems to be rather hurried.” However, as soon as she thought of that, her expression suddenly changed.

She could clearly sense that several dozen powerful presences tailed Jian Chen. The owner of each presence possessed terrifying power enough to shake the world.

Kai Ya noticed that the situation was bad, and she began to panic inside. As a result, she failed to question sothing. Despite being in the underground cavern where basically all senses beca useless, she was able to sense these peak experts from so far away.

“These people are hostile. They’re getting closer and closer to Jian Chen. If they catch up to Jian Chen, they’ll definitely do sothing bad to him. What do I do? What do I do...” Kai Ya panicked as she paced around uneasily.

Suddenly, she seed to think of sothing and imdiately looked at the shackled beast corpse nearby.

Kai Ya arrived before the corpse. Without any hesitation, she extended and pressed her hand against it. The Laws of Fire surged out and poured into the corpse.

She had no idea why she took such action, nor did she know about the consequences. All of this was a result of an instinct from the depths of her soul, urging her to do that.

The corpse before Kai Ya happened to belong to the expert who passed on the Laws of Fire to Jian Chen. Extrely powerful vital energy was sealed within the corpse, and there were layers upon layers of inscriptions around the vital energy that could protect it from all foreign forces.

These inscriptions had been laid down by the beast before it had passed away to protect its last shred of vital energy.

Unless it was soone who had inherited his golden core of laws, no power, including the Laws of Fire, could penetrate the inscriptions and awaken the vital energy sealed within him. Soone doing so would destroy the arrangents they made in the past.

However, when Kai Ya’s Laws of Fire ca into contact with the layer of inscriptions that protected the vital energy, the inscriptions actually lted away silently.

In the end, the Laws of Fire from Kai Ya entered the terrifying vital energy unimpeded.

Imdiately, the vital energy sealed within the beast seed to awaken. It began to churn violently as an unbelievably great power, along with a terrifying pressure, suddenly erupted. It ford an invisible storm that wreaked havoc in the cavern.

At this mont, the corpse that had remained dead for countless years seed to co alive. It demonstrated the shocking might it possessed in the past.

Kai Ya was pushed away by the pressure, only stopping after retreating more than ten kilotres away. She was temporarily stunned as she looked at the mighty corpse. She was at a loss about what to do.

Back to the winding tunnel that led to the underground cavern.

“The suppression of the senses of my soul are becoming more and more powerful. The initial three kilotres have shrunk to two, but I can’t find Jian Chen within this range at all...”

“Since Jian Chen knows this place, he has definitely co here before. He’s bold enough to move so quickly, which ans there is nothing particularly dangerous here...”

“I think we’re being overcautious. This place is mysterious, but we’re still Grand Pris after all. There really isn’t a lot that can threaten us in this world...”

“We can’t be complacent. Even the senses of our souls have been suppressed so severely. The expert who set up this whole place possesses a cultivation far beyond ours. They’re a terrifying existence at the sa level as the Heaven-splitting Ancestor or the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng at the very least. It’s best if we’re careful...”

Although so of them said that, they moved faster and faster. Very soon, they were moving faster than Jian Chen.

They rapidly closed the distance between them and Jian Chen.

Five kilotres...

Four kilotres...

Three kilotres...

They drew closer and closer.

Due to the fact that Jian Chen’s soul had fused with a strand of true Chaotic Force, he was much better off than the peak experts. As a result, he could sense their approach, which made his heart sink.

If matters continued like this, he would not have enough ti to awaken the vital energy within the eight experts even if he arrived in the cavern first.

However, at this mont, the entire tunnel began to shake violently. Right after that, a pulse of energy strong enough to shock everyone, along with a trendous pressure, filled the entire space in a single mont and spread to the tunnel.

The pressure was so great and the power was so terrifying that it caused the expressions of all the peak experts in the tunnel to change. They ca to a halt as they beca fearful.

Jian Chen’s mind shook, and the golden core of laws for the Laws of Fire quivered gently in his soul. Imdiately, he guessed that Kai Ya had awakened one of the expert’s vital energy.

“What a terrifying presence. The owner of this presence is- is an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Exalt at the very least...”

“It might even be a Ninth Heavenly Layer, on the sa level as the Heaven-splitting Ancestor and the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng...”

All the peak experts stopped in the winding tunnel. They all beca extrely stern. The sudden, terrifying presence made all of them shiver in fear and surprise.

Expert at such a level were only second to Grand Exalts. They were even more powerful than the Celestial Sword Saint. They all felt fearful towards soone like that.

“No!” Very soon, a cry rang out, “Have you sensed that the presence and pressure from the power seems powerful on the surface, but it’s actually slightly weak, as if it lacks support?”
