Chapter 3380: Teetering Between Life and Death

In the blink of an eye, the nine Wood Spirits all vanished, having entered the land of tests set up by the artifact spirit.

Jian Chen was completely clueless about anything that happened inside there. He could only wait patiently.

During this time, the Source of Life was constantly under attack. As they were all full-powered attacks from Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Primes, Jian Chen could very clearly sense the entire world rock as he remained within the Source of Life.

The Source of Life did not devote any energy to itself. It completely relied on its toughness to resist the devastating attacks while devoting a part of its power to protect the Wood Spirits World.

The protective formation cast down by the first ancestor had already been destroyed. If it were not for the Source of Life’s protection, the Wood Spirits World could never weather a storm like this.

At this moment, the sky in the miniature world suddenly darkened. The space ripped open and the figure of a colossal spear entered from outside with a terrifying presence, invading this world.

Jian Chen’s expression changed drastically. A chill ran down his spine. All he sensed was an aura of bleakness filling the world. The chilling force was present everywhere, invading every inch of space here.

At the same time, blood began to ooze out from the surface of his body. Just the force from the figure of the spear had pierced his Chaotic Body.

At this moment, he seemed like he was already covered with countless wounds.

“So powerful!” Jian Chen was shaken up inside as he stared straight at the figure of the spear in the sky.

He could tell with a single glance that the spear was not the weapon itself. Strictly speaking, it was something like a will.

The will directly pierced the Source of Life’s external defences and reached its interior.

The will’s target was obviously the artifact spirit of the Source of Life.

“How shameless! You useless, shitty spear, why don’t you go and find the Sceptre of Life instead? All you know is how to harass me!” The artifact spirit cursed aloud. It seemed to be rather helpless against the Divine Spear of World Destruction’s attack.

However, it soon pointed at Jian Chen and the power of the Source of Life surged out, forcefully moving him over from afar. It tossed him towards the Divine Spear of World Destruction in an extremely straightforward manner.

Immediately, the terrifying presence enveloped Jian Chen. Before they even made contact, his flesh erupted piece by piece, turning into bloody mist.

This was an attack from a sovereign god artifact after all. Even though it was only a will that the sovereign god artifact had sent in here, it was still much more than what Jian Chen could deal with.

Moreover, the illusionary figure of the Divine Spear of World Destruction rushed straight towards Jian Chen with surging killing intent.

“Source of Life, I’m still the one who awakened you. You’re repaying generosity with animosity,” Jian Chen’s expression changed drastically as he roared out furiously.

“Why’re you being afraid? Your body is tough enough, so you can hold it off for now. I’ll heal you from behind. Don’t worry, with me around, you won’t die,” the artifact spirit said with absolute confidence, without any sense of shame.

“You-” Jian Chen was absolutely furious. He had seen many artifact spirits in his life, but never had he seen an artifact spirit as shameless as the Source of Life, actually hiding behind him and getting others to deal with its troubles.

It was basically even craftier than people.

However, Jian Chen no longer had the time to say anything. The figure of the Divine Spear of World Destruction had already shot towards him as a bolt of light.

Immediately, his body crumbled away at an extremely terrifying rate. All of his blood and flesh was reduced to dust, vanishing into the surroundings.

The Divine Spear of World Destruction was far too powerful. It could destroy anything. With Jian Chen’s strength, once he died to the Divine Spear of World Destruction, he would not even be left with any remains.

“Hmph, you shitty spear, have you asked for my permission to kill someone here?” The Source of Life snorted coldly as if it had only found a sense of being before the Divine Spear of World Destruction at this moment. It opened its mouth and a tremendous presence of life enveloped Jian Chen, which had Laws of Life at an extremely high level mixed in.

Immediately, Jian Chen’s rapidly crumbling flesh began to recover. In the span of merely five seconds, his entire body reappeared.

However, the figure of the Divine Spear of World Destruction did not vanish. This was the will of a sovereign god artifact. It continued to destroy his body with its devastating attacks.

Behind him, the artifact spirit of the Source of Life faced off against the Divine Spear of World Destruction. The Divine Spear of World Destruction destroyed Jian Chen’s body as it hid behind him, healing Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s body constantly shifted between the phases of destruction and recovery.

Even with the Source of Life healing him from behind, such pain over long periods of time was basically a hellish torture.

Jian Chen let out a deep howl as his forehead bulged with veins, enduring the intense pain of having his entire body ripped apart.

The pain was thousands and millions of times worse than when his Chaotic Body broke through.

“What’re you howling for? It’s just a bit of pain. It’s not like it’s going to kill you. Look at how disappointing you are from how you’re responding,” the artifact spirit pouted, but it secretly rejoiced inside. “Fortunately, I have this kid with a tough body. If he weren’t blocking it for me, the shitty spear really could cause me quite some pain.”

Shortly afterwards, it seemed to remember something. Its illusionary face became aggrieved as it grumbled inside, “Sceptre of Life, where exactly have you gone? The Divine Spear of World Destruction should be your opponent, yet you’re not around. I’m the Source of Life. My function is healing and recovery. It’s not like I’m good at fighting. Fighting should be your job.”

“You shitty spear. You don’t go and find the Sceptre of Life and instead come to harass me. Hmph, what’s so impressive about harassing me?” The artifact spirit fumed.

Shortly afterwards, it looked at Jian Chen. As it watched Jian Chen block the Divine Spear of World Destruction with a face contorted from pain, it did not feel any sympathy at all. It opened its mouth and let out another ball of life essence to heal Jian Chen before murmuring, “The people outside must have been drawn over by you. That’s completely unforgivable. Even death is not enough to redeem you.”

“However, you still can’t die right now. If you die now, then the will that the shitty spear sent in here will hit me.”

As it said that, the artifact spirit began to swing its arms. An even more tremendous presence of life surged out, completely engulfing Jian Chen and rapidly repairing his body.

The figure of the Divine Spear of World Destruction lasted for a half a minute before finally dissipating.

Jian Chen’s destroyed body rapidly recovered under the Source of Life’s healing. Even though he seemed like he was unscathed, he had become completely feeble. His face was pale-white, covered in huge beads of sweat as he sat on the ground while gasping for air.

In just half a minute, he had perished thousands of times amid the inhuman pain. Each time, he had been pulled back forcefully from the jaws of death by the Source of Life.

The tormenting experience was basically beyond anyone’s imaginations.
