<h4>Chapter 3240: The Nether Sovereign</h4>


    This time, the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall really began to panic. It had almost used all of its energy to escape from the Saintst time. In the end, it became so feeble that it could not even use its basic powers to bring Jian Chen here.


    It had finally managed to recover some meagre strength, and it was only able to bring Jian Chen here through the World of Grand rity after quite some difficulty.


    Now that it faced a powerful Saint again, the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall immediately felt like it was facing its doom.


    The Primeval Divine Hall was aplete sovereign god artifact, but it had constantly been suppressed by the Dao Union Saint’s curse. The divine hall’s powers were constantly being depleted, such that it was not as powerful as it once was.


    It was already utterly exhausted from escaping the hands of the Saintst time. Now that it encountered a Saint again, the Primeval Divine Hall felt great despair.


    In the next moment, the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall vanished. Swept away by the Primeval Divine Hall’s power, Jian Chen was also transported inside.


    At the same time, the Saint’s pressure pressed closer, flooding the surroundings. Just the devastating pressure alone made the space where the Primeval Divine Hall resided shake violently and copse as great swathes.


    Immediately, the world seemed to be approaching its end, sinking into darkness. The Primeval Divine Hall shook violently, and the curse from the Dao Union Saint began to manifest as well. A power that belonged to the Dao Union Saint seemed to awaken.


    However, after countless years of corrosion, coupled with the damage from facing this Saint in the past, the curse had already be as feeble as a candle in the me. How was it supposed to contend against an actual Saint?


    The power from the Dao Union Saint’s curse rapidly vanished.


    At the same time, the Primeval Divine Hall erupted with light, bing as dazzling and blinding as the sun.


    However, the light just seemed to give off an appearance of strength. It was actually feeble.


    The artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall was using itsst bit of power in an attempt to escape from here.


    The chances were extremely slim, but it could not simply ept its fate. Even if it used up thest bit of its power, it had to strive for a chance at survival.


    Suddenly, the space there froze and everything sank into silence. Everything had been frozen at that instant. The entire world and space was sealed by the great power of the sovereign.


    The Primeval Divine Hall became trapped as well, unable to break free.


    Afterwards, the sky shattered, and the space copsed. The entire world sank into darkness. The dark space was like a terrifying, huge mouth, swallowing everything mercilessly.


    Whether it was space, light, any energy or substance, it was all swallowed by the colossal mouth of darkness.


    Even wisps of the curse from the Dao Union Saint around the Primeval Divine Hall was unable to escape the fate of being devoured.


    For a moment, the curse around the Primeval Divine Hall weakened at a visible rate.


    “T-this is the Laws of Devouring. Once I’m devoured, it’spletely over. Even ultimate artifacts wielded by Saints cannot escape the fate of being dposed.” The artifact spirit’s fearful voice rang out in the Primeval Divine Hall.


    Jian Chen had never been so stern before. He growled furiously, “Artifact spirit, is there anything I can do to help you?”


    “There’s nothing. You don’t possess the power to contend against a Saint, even if you fuse the twin swords. They’re still too feeble right now. Even if you fuse them, they can’t threaten a Saint.” The artifact spirit’s voice rang out sternly with some despair. “And, he has clearlye prepared this time. He has made ample preparation and already sealed up this space. Even if I possessed the same power asst time, I would not be able to get away.”


    “If it were a different Saint, then so be it. Even if I were captured, I’d just be enved at most, b-b-but this Saint knows the Laws of Devouring. He’s clearly determined to devour me. Once I am devoured, that’s equivalent to meplete death.”


    “This damned curse has tormented me for countless years, such that I’m nowhere close to my prime. Otherwise, I never would have ended up like this.” The artifact spirit was pessimistic in despair. It instructed Jian Chen, “I can’t escape. You should go. While there’s still time, fuse the swords and split open the space here. You might still be able to get away.”


    Jian Chen said nothing. He refused to ept this. In order to collect the ten droplets of essence blood, he had spent several decadesprehending the Way of Alchemy before proceeding to the Xuanhuang Microcosm and risking his life to gather Xuanhuang spiritual fluid. Afterwards, he went to the Darkstar World and spent several centuries refining Godking pills.


    He had obtained ten droplets of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood after painstaking efforts. Now, he had finally obtained this sovereign god artifact as he had wished.


    Yet soon after the Primeval Divine Hall had acknowledged him as its master, he was intercepted by a powerful Saint. How could he ept this?


    “Zi Ying, Qing Suo, prepare to fuse. Even if he’s a Saint, I’ll leave him with a gash if he tries to take my Primeval Divine Hall.” Jian Chen was seeing red as he ground his teeth. He had lost his cool already.


    Outside the Primeval Divine Hall, space had shattered already, and the surroundings sank into darkness. The Laws of Devouring gripped everything like a ck hole, gradually swallowing the Primeval Divine Hall as a gaping mouth.


    The Primeval Divine Hall was truly in dire straits now. There was nowhere for it to run.


    But at this exact moment, the Laws of Devouring suddenly trembled. In the next moment, all of thews just copsed forcefully mid-air. The huge, gaping mouth of darkness that could devour everything seemed to vanish at that instant too.


    Immediately, all of the devouring power dissipated. Even the frozen space recovered.


    The Primeval Divine Hall was no longer trapped. The remaining power of the divine hall was immediately unleashed. In the next moment, the Primeval Divine Hall burst through space, vanishing immediately.


    The Primeval Divine Hall managed to escape, but the space there did not return to peace. A huge shadow floated there, wriggling about like a bugle. It seemed to be alive.


    Upon a closer nce, it was quite obvious that the ck shadow actually seemed to be made of void.


    Beneath the shadow was where the Primeval Divine Hall sat before. Above it was a pitch-ck hand, pressing against it gently.


    The hand was like a colossal column. It was extremelyrge, imposing, and grand. It waspletely condensed from the power ofws, giving off a startling presence of destruction.


    When the hand condensed from the Laws of Destruction pressed against the void shadow, the Laws of Devouring that emerged from the shadow immediately copsed.


    The supreme Laws of Destruction within the hand turned into an apocalyptic storm, suppressing the shadow like he was unstoppable.


    “A-Anatta, why did you stop me?” A powerful mental pulse emerged from the shadow with undisguised fury.


    “Nether, that doesn’t belong to you!” A blurry figure condensed from the Laws of Destruction silently appeared above the shadow. It seemed to represent the world, such that it interfered with how the world worked just by standing there.


    “That’s Primeval Qi. I want to devour it and recover!” the voice from the shadow said.

    “The Primeval Divine Hall has already acknowledged a master. Since you are the sovereign of a world, that’s not something for you to take.”


    “I’ll be able to recover once I devour it. It’s mine!” the shadow said. It tore open space and was about to leave.


    “I said, that doesn’t belong to you!” The voice from within the Laws of Destruction rang out. Even though it wasposed of the sound of the ways, bearing all sounds the universe had to offer, it was clearly filled with anger.


    In the next moment, the Laws of Destruction and the Laws of Fire appeared together, impacting the shadow as two simple inscriptions.


    “Anatta, move aside!” the shadow roared furiously. The Laws of Devouring and thews of Void appeared, both atpletion, contending against the Laws of Destruction and the Laws of Fire.


    This was the collision between the powers of two sovereigns. The might was terrifying, and the space there waspletely annihted.


    “Nether, you’ve only just awakened. I don’t want to suppress you.” The Anatta Grand Exalt’s cold, merciless voice rang out from the figure condensed from the Laws of Destruction. In the next moment, a tower appeared there, standing who knew how tall and wide. As soon as the tower appeared, it filled the entire sky and space there before hurling towards the giant shadow beneath it mercilessly.


    Boom!


    A great rumble immediately rang through the space there as if the universe had exploded. Countless spaces were smashed to pieces. The shadow was actually split into pieces under the tower.


    But very soon, it gathered again, turning back into a shadow, except it was visibly smaller in sizepared to before.


    The tower condensed from thews did not vanish. It weighed on the shadow heavily, such that all of its movements became more difficult.


    “F-four ways. Y-y-you’ve actuallyprehended four great ways topletion,” the shadow cried out in utter shock.


    The Anatta Grand Exalt said nothing. He stood there proudly with his figure condensed from the Laws of Destruction like he could hold off anything the Nether Sovereign threw at him. He did not even have toe in person. Just his powers could forcefully intercept a sovereign.


    And, this sovereign was someone who hadprehended two ways topletion.


    That happened to be the Laws of Devouring and the Laws of Void.


    The shadow fell into silence. Quite a whileter, it finally let out a gentle sigh. “So be it. I don’t want the Primeval Qi anymore.”


    There was clearly a strong sense of disappointment in his voice.
