Chapter 2862: Finally Obtained (1/2)

The Fruit of Nurturing Ways was what mattered. He knew exactly what its effects were. A high grade God Tier Fruit of Nurturing Ways that had evolved perfectly could not end up in this outsider’s hands no matter what.

To the other side, Jian Chen’s figure that had been launched away suddenly vanished. When he reappeared, most of his wounds had already recovered. He continued his charge towards the Darkstar Emperor while wrapped in sword Qi, wanting to slow down the Darkstar Emperor and buy time for the Fruit of Nurturing Ways.

The Fruit of Nurturing Ways was still in the process of evolving and had not completely ripened yet. However, with the temporal acceleration of the thirty pieces of jade, the time it spent evolving had been minimised.

As a result, he only had to keep the Darkstar Emperor busy for a moment.

When the colour reflected in the sky in the distance became an extremely gorgeous array of colours, it would be when the Fruit of Nurturing Ways had truly ripened.

“You overestimate yourself! This is all but a futile effort!” the Darkstar Emperor called out. Immediately, the seal over his head flew out to receive Jian Chen. However, right when the seal was about to strike Jian Chen, Jian Chen suddenly changed his position and appeared elsewhere, forcing the Darkstar Emperor to fight back with punches.

Bang! With that, the sword Qi shattered from the Darkstar Emperor’s punch, but it was only sword Qi this time. Jian Chen was not present.

In the next moment, Jian Chen emerged from space in another direction, striking out like a venomous snake.

The Darkstar Emperor punched out again and again. As he shattered Jian Chen’s attack, he also launched Jian Chen far away.

This sight repeated again and again. The Fruit of Nurturing Ways was about to ripen, and Jian Chen could no longer care about the cost either. He was completely paying with his body to delay the Darkstar Emperor.

Even he had no idea how many attacks from the Darkstar Emperor he had endured. The Darkstar Emperor’s attacks were far too violent, where every strike could cause him heavy injuries. If it were not for the extreme defences and startling recovery of his Chaotic Body, he probably never could have lasted until now.

However, the effects he had achieved through paying such great costs were extremely evident. The Darkstar Emperor’s advance had slowed down.

During this time, the Darkstar Emperor even used another God Tier Battle Skill instantly, thinking that Jian Chen was already heavily injured and probably lacked the ability to disrupt his God Tier Battle Skill.

However, the end result left the Darkstar Emperor disappointed. The God Tier Battle Skill he used to deal with Jian Chen when he was heavily injured failed to achieve anything. The moment the God Tier Battle Skill appeared, it immediately deflated like a balloon, losing all of its power.

Instead, he was heavily exhausted because of using God Tier Battle Skills consecutively.

He had also tried using the seal and the triangular shield to block Jian Chen and prevent him from obstructing his advance, but Jian Chen’s Laws of Space were far too elusive. The two god artifacts were unable to cover his entire body, so openings always existed. In the end, Jian Chen would merely target these openings with his attacks, forcing the Darkstar Emperor to block.

Jian Chen’s wounds became more and more severe. Most of his flesh had vanished. As such, only his skeleton was visible for the upper half of his body, and many of the bones had already shattered completely.

His injuries were far too severe, already reaching a level where it was horrendous to behold. The recovery rate of his Chaotic Body had completely fallen behind the rate at which he was injured, while the Darkstar Emperor inched closer to the medicinal garden.

He was unable to stop the Darkstar Emperor’s advance completely. He could only temporarily slow him down.

Eight million kilometers…

Five million kilometers…

The Darkstar Emperor got closer and closer to the medicinal garden. He approached two million kilometers away very soon.

With the Darkstar Emperor’s battle prowess at Chaotic Prime, he only needed to be a million kilometers away, and he could use his great energy to destroy the medicinal garden from afar.

As he watched the Darkstar Emperor gradually approach the medicinal garden in an unstoppable manner, Jian Chen’s heart sank slightly. If the Fruit of Nurturing Ways were not evolving, he could directly pluck it and go. Although mid grade was not as great as high grade, it would still be of extremely great assistance to him.

However, the Fruit of Nurturing Ways was already evolving when he discovered it. Once the evolution process began, it was a path of no return. It was either success or destruction.

This was like an expert breaking through a major realm. Once an external force disturbed them during the breakthrough, they would suffer a tremendous backlash and incur unimaginable damage. It might even seal their fates.

At this moment, colourful light suddenly rushed into the air near the medicinal garden in the distance. The surroundings turned into a multi-coloured, gorgeous world.

Within the hazy light circulated the extremely pure power of ways. It was like it was resonating with the three thousand ways in the surroundings, making them materialise and weave together like chains of order. At the same time, it produced a booming sound of ways. It was wondrous and mysterious.

“The Fruit of Nurturing Ways has ripened!” Seeing the colourful light in the horizon, Jian Chen’s face lit up. This moment had finally arrived. Soon afterwards, he immediately abandoned the Darkstar Emperor without the slightest hesitation. He flashed several times, where he teleported with each flicker. He crossed a vast distance with each flash, currently moving at top speed with the Laws of Space.
