Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3974: The Seven Souls Submit

Fortune smiled upon us with your presence, Origin Composition Daemon Exalt, or we might have faced grave peril this time…

Without the aid of the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt, our present circumstances would indeed prove challenging to handle under these constraints. Who could have foreseen that a trivial insect from those days would ascend to such formidable heights during our slumber…

All the souls grinned with delight, yet prior to fully savoring their triumph, an odd aura abruptly surfaced. Soon after, another form of soul power began to rise from the sea of consciousness.

As this soul power manifested, Jian Chen’s crumbling Ways of Curses astonishingly steadied itself. But that wasn’t the extent of it. The dispersed way fragments within his sea of consciousness even gathered anew, swiftly escaping the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt’s control and reintegrating into Jian Chen’s soul.

“W-what in the world is happening? My Shared Fate technique has failed? No way, this can’t be…” The Origin Composition Daemon Exalt exclaimed in alarm moments later. Disbelief overwhelmed him.

His outburst instantly alerted the other six experts who had only just eased up. Their thoughts grew taut once more.

“Origin Composition Daemon Exalt, can we truly trust your innate ability?” one soul inquired with evident unease. Their very existences hung in the balance. No room existed for oversights.

The Origin Composition Daemon Exalt stood stunned. He murmured in a daze, “My current state is terribly weak, far from my prime, yet the Shared Fate technique remains unaffected. It solely depends on my soul’s tier. I’m deploying it against an inferior foe besides. With my soul’s stature, even Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes couldn’t defy it once cast. In theory, failure against a mere Chaotic Prime like him is out of the question.”

At that point, the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt trembled violently. His gaze sharpened in terror. He shrieked wildly, “W-what’s this? Argh, curse it. It’s genuine Chaotic Force. The aura suggests it’s no counterfeit. How could such a force emerge in this place?”

“Ah, that explains why my Shared Fate technique faltered. His soul harbors Chaotic Force. It exceeds the Shared Fate technique’s boundaries entirely.”

“This brat harbors a strand of Chaotic Force fused into his soul? Unbelievable, utterly impossible. What sort of monster is he? Chaotic Force is so savage and dreadful—how could it blend with a soul? This defies all conventional reasoning…”

Not just the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt quaked in fear. Right then, the remaining six experts detected the Chaotic Force as well. Shock gripped them all, laced with utter incredulity.

Observing the seven souls’ profound astonishment, Jian Chen couldn’t suppress a chuckle. “It seems your Shared Fate technique falls short of binding our destinies.” With those words, Jian Chen’s chaotic soul materialized in front of the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt. Moments later, the way fragments he had devoured were wrenched away from him, flowing back to Jian Chen’s soul.

At once, Jian Chen’s Laws of Curses mended fully. Every bit of comprehension forcibly taken from him surged back.

This insight belonged to him originally. What’s more, it lingered within his sea of consciousness. Reclaiming his own might proved far from arduous.

Were the setting different, restoring his ways after such extraction would hardly be so straightforward.

Deprived of those way fragments, the Origin Composition Daemon Exalt weakened progressively. Ultimately, every ounce of power drawn from Jian Chen deserted him; nothing remained unrecovered.

“Your Shared Fate technique holds no sway over me. What other tricks do you possess? Unleash them all.” Jian Chen regarded the seven souls with composure.

The souls lingered in their daze, speechless for an extended period until one finally spoke, emotions churning, “Little brother, we confess to underestimating you earlier and withholding certain truths. Still, when you were feeble, the seven of us bestowed our golden cores of laws upon you. We’ve offered tangible support along your cultivation journey. We harbor no desire to clash with you, so might you permit our departure?”

“You dare bring up the golden cores of laws?” Jian Chen’s tone chilled instantly.

“T-then what would you have us do?” The souls sounded remorseful.

“I’ve been aware of you since the start. You ought to grasp why I’ve tolerated your presence thus far.” Jian Chen eyed the seven souls deliberately. An enigmatic gleam sparked in his gaze. “Decide now. Submit, or perish!”

“You expect all seven of us to bow to a Chaotic Prime such as yourself? Boy, do you comprehend the caliber of powerhouses we once embodied? Even should we consent to serve you, the repercussions would overwhelm you,” one soul retorted furiously.

“Refuse to submit, and I’ll obliterate you.” Murderous intent laced Jian Chen’s words. As his temperament darkened, a ferocious tempest of killing intent erupted in the sea of consciousness, altering the seven souls’ faces.

Within the sea of consciousness, they distinctly felt Jian Chen’s shifting disposition. They also perceived the genuine murderous aura aimed at them.

This went far beyond mere intimidation.

“Wait, we can impart every scrap of cultivation wisdom from our previous existences. We’ll even reveal all secret arts and God Tier Battle Skills we once mastered. All we seek is a peaceful exit…”

“Little brother, our frailty leaves us powerless. Keeping us yields no benefit. Why compel us this way? Better to bargain for valuables that aid you…”

“Little brother, never dismiss our inheritances lightly. At our zeniths, the least among us reached Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. The mightiest approached Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. Such heritages hold inestimable worth…”

The souls’ assurance waned. They offered irresistibly alluring proposals.

Regrettably, Jian Chen stood firm regardless of their pleas. He uttered icily, “One final query: submit or die?”

In the sea of consciousness, the seven souls keenly felt Jian Chen’s resolve. Despair washed over them.

Ultimately, none wished to meet their end so pointlessly. They opted to yield.

This outcome held no shock for Jian Chen. Had these seven powerhouses embraced death, they wouldn’t have schemed when depositing their golden cores of laws initially. Rather, they’d have departed serenely like swordmaster Yun Chi, free of attachments to life, dissolving completely from existence.
