In the vast outer space, Jian Chen travelled arduously through the Laws of Space with his shrunken, charred-black body.

His injuries were extremely heavy. Not only had his body shrivelled up, but most of his chaotic blood had evaporated away. He even had to endure the pain from the backlash of fusing the swords. If it were not for the life-threatening danger he was facing right now that left him with unprecedented concentration, he probably would have fainted already.

On top of that, he had used three strands of Profound Sword Qi, so the power of his soul was greatly drained as well. Now, whenever he moved with the Laws of Space, he needed to grit his teeth. It took tremendous effort.

He wore the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race, doing his best to hide his presence as he left the place of the battle strenuously.

However, he was aware that he could not make it far at all with his current state. As a result, he took out a divine hall along the way and released Zhi Ye and Rui Di from inside.

Now, through the Twin-headed Lotuses contaminated with Xuanhuang Qi, both Zhi Ye and Rui Di’s injuries had taken a drastic turn for the better. In particular, Rui Di’s appearance that had aged due to the loss of his life force actually showed signs of reverting.

With the Twin-headed Lotus, Rui Di’s injuries were not irreversible. Once he completely recovered, he could return to his past state.

“Jian Chen, w-w-why are you so heavily injured?”

As soon as the two of them emerged from the divine hall, they immediately noticed how charred and feeble Jian Chen was, which made them pale in fright.

During the time they spent in the divine hall, Rui Di had learnt from Zhi Ye about Jian Chen’s strength. Fourth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes were also lofty figures in Rui Di’s eyes. They were extremely powerful. Yet right now, Jian Chen had sustained such heavy wounds, not only left without a single inch of intact skin, but even missing much of his flesh and blood as well. His bones that had been charred pitch-black were exposed in many places, with some bones having directly melted away.

The miserable sight made Rui Di leap in fright.

However, Jian Chen had no time to explain. He said to the two of them feebly and urgently, “L-leave here immediately. Erase your presences and leave here as quickly as you can. Quick, o-or it’ll be too late.”

“Jian Chen, you ended up like this in order to save us. How can we just abandon you?”

“If we’re going, you’re coming with us. We’ll never abandon you. How can we do something so ungrateful?”

Zhi Ye and Rui Di both spoke up firmly, unwilling to accept any refusal from Jian Chen. They did not know what had happened, but they did understand that the unknown enemy was extremely terrifying to leave a Fourth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime injured like this.

However, even when they knew death awaited them, the two of them did not cower at all. They demonstrated no fear of death, only determination and resolute courage.

“You have to go, or not only will you be doomed, but even the sect behind you m-might be dragged down with you. It might even be destroyed.” Jian Chen’s voice was strained. He was not at the end of his rope right now, but he was close.

“Senior Rui Jin, Hong Lian, and Hei Yu, I can only bid farewell to you here.” Jian Chen’s voice rang out in the divine hall on Zhi Ye, inside Rui Jin, Hei Yu, and Hong Lian’s heads.

With that, he did not let Zhi Ye or Rui Di to rebuke him. He pushed his arms with difficulty and used the last bit of his power to forcefully transport the two of them away through the Laws of Space.

He could already sense terrifying presences accumulating in the distance space. Every single presence was earth-shaking and extremely powerful. The disturbance from the exposure of the twin swords was even larger than Jian Chen imagined it to be.

Time was extremely tight. He could not allow the experts to see Zhi Ye and the others, so he did not even try to meet up with Rui Jin, Hong Lian, or Hei Ye, directly sending them away forcefully.

He originally wanted to pass some heavenly resources with Xuanhuang Qi to Rui Jin and the others, but upon further thought, he dismissed the idea, afraid that his good intentions would instead doom them.

If the experts in the distance began peering around, there were no secrets in the world that could be hidden away from them. If some of them found out about the treasures in Rui Jin and the others’ possession, perhaps some of them would change their minds, where those who were willing to stoop that low would choose to take action.

Rui Di and Zhi Ye were transported very far away by Jian Chen, but in order to prevent them from finding him again without any regard for their own safety, Jian Chen did not remain where he was either. Instead, he continued travelling with the Laws of Space.

In the end, after teleporting for a dozen times, he lost all of his energy. He hid himself deeply in a regular meteor.

Inside the meteor, Jian Chen leaned weakly against the tough stone wall, silently circulating Chaotic Force to heal.

He knew the fusion of the twin swords had drawn out many experts of the Saints’ World. He had no idea about the fate awaiting him. Perhaps he could survive this crisis peacefully, or perhaps he would face his doom.

During this moment of greatest danger, Jian Chen instead became extraordinarily calm. At this moment, he thought of many things. He thought of the Tian Yuan clan first because he had many acquaintances cultivating there, as well as his great grandfather.

Afterwards, he thought of Ming Dong and Tie Ta, as well as his elder sister on the distant Ice Pole Plane that perhaps no longer recognised him as her brother.

“Ming Dong is the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. Regardless of my relationship with him, he won’t be affected. Tie Ta is the War God of the God clan, so no one will ever be bold enough to target him. As for my elder sister, she won’t be affected either.”

“What I’m most worried about is still the Tian Yuan clan.” Jian Chen thought of the worst-case scenario and became sorrowful inside.

In the past, the reason why he prevented the Tian Yuan clan from expanding outwards was because he hoped that the Tian Yuan clan would not get too big. That way, even if he had to leave, he could easily gather everyone together and take them away from this world with him.

However, plans always went astray at the end of the day. Nan Potian produced a formation from the Flame Reverend, which had thrown him into danger. If he did not fuse the sword, he would have died without any doubt. Rui Jin, Hong Lian, and Hei Yu would have suffered the same fate.

That was why he was forced to fuse the swords, paving a path of survival for the three of them at the risk of exposing himself.

“Now, I can only hope that the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race can completely hide me,” Jian Chen thought. He was far too feeble. He could not do anything right now. He did not even have the strength to travel. He could only wait here.

Boom!

However, as soon as that thought crossed his head, the meteor he was hiding in exploded loudly. Under the tremendous pressure, all of the fragments of the meteor were crushed to dust.

Seven shining suns, each radiating with a different kind of light, appeared in his eyes first. The intense glow was dazzling and blinding, illuminating the dark cosmos.

They were the seven Saint Monarchs of the seven archaean clans. They hovered there like gods, standing high above.

Jian Chen was immediately exposed before the seven Saint Monarchs. As for the mask of the Illusionary Daemon race, it did not seem to achieve anything. It was as if it was completely non-existent before the seven Saint Monarchs.

The Nine Brilliance Star Lord, the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, and many other Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes all hovered in this space.

“Jian Chen, it’s actually you?” Surprise immediately flashed through Yi Xin’s eyes the moment she saw him.

At this moment, one of the figures within the coloured suns of the seven Saint Monarchs formed a seal with his fingers. Then he pointed towards Jian Chen.

With that, a mysterious power immediately pervaded, and the twin swords hidden in Jian Chen’s body appeared uncontrollably, completely exposed before everyone.

“Sure enough, the twin swords!” The person responsible for the appearance of the twin swords growled. His voice was bone-piercingly cold.

He was the Heaven Perceiving Saint Monarch of the Thousand Mechanisms clan, one of the archaean clans!
