Chapter 2331: Substitution Under the Nose of Heaven (Three)

Immediately, the rate at which the artifact spirit absorbed the power was drastically affected. He gradually slowed down.

Even though he was protected by the Origin of Ways and was immune to the assault from the mist, the mist was the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance’s lingering consciousness. Even though this lingering consciousness was no longer self-aware, it would still react instinctively.

Under its instinctive reaction, the lingering consciousness began to resist the artifact spirit’s devouring and fusion.

Moreover, the lingering consciousness even manoeuvred a portion of the Tower of Radiance’s power, forming various attacks in an attempt to devour the artifact spirit of the saint artifact instead.

But in the end, no matter how great the power the lingering consciousness maneuvered, no matter how sharp and terrifying the attacks were, they immediately became mellow when they approached the Origin of Ways. All the sharpness and danger was removed.

This was because it was like new laws had been created within the Origin of Ways. No matter how great the power, once it entered the Origin of Ways, it needed to operate under these new laws.

If the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance was at its peak condition, it could rival the laws created by the Origin of Ways with its power as a peak god artifact.

But now, it was only a lingering consciousness. It was not even a millionth of its peak condition. Naturally, it was unable to do anything to the Origin of Ways. It had been firmly restrained.

“Too slow. If you continue like this, you won’t be able to take over the Tower of Radiance. If the Origin of Ways runs out before you’ve fused with all of the Tower of Radiance’s power, it won’t be a complete fusion. Without the shell of the Tower of Radiance holding your body, you will only disperse. You need to speed up,” the sword spirit called out. Danger basically came with every step on the artifact spirit’s path right now. The slightest carelessness would claim his life, making him truly disperse forever. As a result, the two sword spirits were nervous as well.

Jian Chen stared at the artifact spirit sternly; he was also anxious. The Origin of Ways from when a Grand Exalt passed away was getting rapidly depleted. He had no idea how much of the Origin of Ways the sword spirits had collected, but it definitely would not be enough to last much longer.

He wanted to help the artifact spirit, but it had already devolved into a battle between the artifact spirit and the lingering consciousness. Even the sword spirits were unable to help out, let alone him.

At the same time, Donglin Yanxue had already met up with the eight protectors somewhere else in the sacred pavilion. The eight protectors were all seated on the ground with their eyes closed, clearly calling at the ancient imprints that drifted about here.

Donglin Yanxue sat between the eight protectors, protected by their encirclement. Her snow-white and luxurious attire as Chosen Saint wrapped around her slender, curvy figure tightly while her beautiful, picturesque face seemed holy. She seemed to possess a sacred beauty.

At this moment, Donglin Yanxue and the eight protectors opened their eyes at the same time and looked around in surprise.

The mist that permeated their surroundings, or even the entire region, suddenly began to churn. It formed great, raging rivers, flowing off in the same direction.

Moreover, all of them, including Donglin Yanxue, could clearly sense that a soaring fury seemed to appear from the surroundings.

It felt like the fury of heaven, the fury of the world, the fury of the universe. It was awe-inspiring and vast, directly striking their souls and affecting their minds.

“What is going on? What has happened? Why has something that has never happened before occurred?” Donglin Yanxue and the eight protectors all stood up and looked around the surroundings in surprise and doubt.

The soaring fury that seemed to originate from their surroundings affected all of their minds. They struggled to remain calm as they felt a strange sense of anger rise up from the bottom of their hearts. It made them agitated and unable to remain calm.

“I- it seems like fury from the lingering consciousness of the artifact spirit...” One of the protectors said with uncertainty.

“The fury from the artifact spirit’s lingering consciousness? How is that possible? How does the lingering consciousness have thoughts? How does it have feelings? And why is it furious?” another protector asked in confusion.

Donglin Yanxue became surprised at this moment. She called out gently, “Have you discovered that the mist here seems to have thinned out?”

“It really has thinned out. Something significant must have happened in the sacred pavilion...”

“Let’s go. Let’s head in the direction where all the mist is surging towards. Let’s see what’s happening at the other end...”

...

The protectors escorted Donglin Yanxue and flew in Jian Chen’s direction with lightning speed.

At this moment, more and more mist that contained the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance’s power gathered at Jian Chen’s location. The artifact spirit of the saint artifact became more and more powerful as well due to all this power.

In particular, when it reached a certain level of strength, the resistance from the lingering consciousness clearly paled in comparison. It seemed powerless. As a result, the artifact spirit was able to fuse with the power with even greater ease. Naturally, he absorbed it faster and faster.

Jian Chen gradually stopped worrying when he saw that. He knew that the outcome of the fusion between the artifact spirit and the power was set in stone now. The step had been truly completed now.

However, he still did not dare to be careless because the entire process had not truly ended.

Several hours later, the artifact spirit finally absorbed all the power of the Tower of Radiance’s artifact spirit. The mist there thinned out as a result, but it did not disperse completely. It had just become very thin.

After fusing with all the power, the artifact spirit became extremely powerful. At that moment, he seemed like a blinding sun, shining with dazzling light. Even Jian Chen felt like he was suffocating when he stood before him.

Of course, the artifact spirit was unable to control the terrifying power he had suddenly obtained. His body trembled in the air, unable to achieve stability.

“The Origin of Ways is going to run out soon. Quick, before it’s completely depleted, fuse all your power with the Tower of Radiance and refine it so that you truly become a part of the Tower of Radiance and the Tower of Radiance is your new shell. This is the last step and also the most difficult step to take. If we’re successful, you’re the new artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance, but if you fail, what awaits your is certain doom. You will truly disperse,” Zi Ying called out. Afterwards, he and Zi Ying drifted away from Jian Chen’s head. They arrived at a high altitude as two streams of light, one violet and one azure. They formed a huge diagram of yin and yang, rapidly revolving around each other.

“Master, we are going to reverse yin and yang and disrupt the laws to elude the heavenly ways so that we can complete the substitution. Otherwise, the artifact spirit will be slain by the heavenly ways. We’re not powerful enough to do this alone right now, so we need assistance from master’s power,” the sword spirit’s said. They revolved faster and faster in the air as if they had become the yin and yang Qi after chaos split. They became black and white.
