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.
