Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3146: Soul Control Technique

Shangguan Mu’er blinked her eyes. “What are you planning on doing?”

Jian Chen hesitated for a moment as if he was not completely confident about this. He said with uncertainty, “I still need to test it out. Mu’er, just wait here for a moment.”

With that, Jian Chen turned around and left the place. He flew through the air along the ground and vanished very soon.

Before long, Jian Chen returned. He carried a long vine in his hand with several Deity Xuanhuang beasts tied up. He dragged them over to show Shangguan Mu’er.

The vine was clearly from a part of a daemon plant’s body, except it had already lost all traces of life. As a result, no matter how the Deity Xuanhuang beasts struggled, they were unable to break free from its restraints.

Shangguan Mu’er was filled with curiosity and confusion when she saw how Jian Chen had actually captured these feeble Xuanhuang beasts alive. However, she did not ask any questions either. She simply sat there quietly, wanting to see what Jian Chen was planning to do.

At this moment, Jian Chen untied one of the Xuanhuang beasts. As soon as it was freed, it scrambled off into the distance as quickly as possible. Its eyes were filled with fear.

Even without intelligence, it knew the person before it was extremely powerful. Impelled by its survival instincts, it chose to flee without any hesitation.

However, Jian Chen pressed down gently, and the legs of the Xuanhuang beast that did not get too far away immediately gave way, directly collapsing on the ground.

It put up a violent struggle, filling the air with clouds of dust as if it was trying to stand up.

However, a colossal mountain seemed to be weighing on its body, pushing it down to the ground firmly. Even with all of its strength, it could not break free.

Before this Primordial realm expert, the Xuanhuang beast that only possessed the strength of a Deity was naturally as feeble as an ant.

Jian Chen stared straight into the Xuanhuang beast’s eyes. Suddenly, his pupils changed as if they had become a pitch-black cosmos, broad and deep. Upon meeting his eyes, the Xuanhuang beast felt like it was being sucked in deeply.

In the next moment, a strange pulse immediately emerged from his eyes.

“Martial Soul Force!”

Shangguan Mu’er had been watching on curiously from the side the entire time. However, when the invisible power shot out of Jian Chen’s eyes, her eyes suddenly narrowed. She immediately realised that Jian Chen was using a Martial Soul secret technique right now.

Jian Chen’s Martial Soul Force plunged straight into the Xuanhuang beast’s brain through its eyes. With the entry of the Martial Soul Force, the Xuanhuang beast that had still been alive and kicking earlier immediately stopped moving. Its colossal body collapsed on the ground weakly, already dead.

“Jian Chen, are you trying to control these Xuanhuang beasts through Martial Soul Force?” Shangguan Mu’er seemed to realise what he was trying. “In my knowledge, the Martial Soul Force of your Martial Soul lineage only targets the origin souls, while these Xuanhuang beasts do not have any origin souls. Martial Soul Force shouldn’t be effective on them.”

As she said that, Shangguan Mu’er also stared at the deceased Xuanhuang beast and studied it. With her insight as an Infinite Prime, she could tell with a single glance that the Xuanhuang beast’s brain had already been destroyed completely.

To her, this Xuanhuang beast had not died to Jian Chen’s Martial Soul Force. Instead, a colossal power far beyond its limits had forcefully crushed its brain to mush.

“I know these Xuanhuang beasts have no origin souls, which is why my Profound Sword Qi is completely useless here too. However, Martial Soul Force is rather special after all, as it’s a power that no one else can control. That’s why I want to try it.”

Jian Chen did not give up. Instead, he arrived before the thick vine and untied a second Xuanhuang beast. At the same time, he continued, “Our Martial Soul lineage has a secret technique called the Soul Control technique. Through this technique, we can control the souls of cultivators for a certain period of time.”

“However, I’ve mainly devoted myself to the Path of the Sword, so my achievements with Martial Soul Force are extremely limited. The Martial Soul Force I can control right now cannot threaten any Primordial realm experts. However, perhaps there might be a chance at success if I use Martial Soul Force on these Xuanhuang beasts that are merely Deities.”

Afterwards, Jian Chen used the same method to trap the second Xuanhuang beast. He used the Soul Control technique, and the invisible Martial Soul Force immediately pierced its head with a special pulse.

With his experience from last time, Jian Chen controlled his power even more carefully when he made this second attempt. After all, the Xuanhuang beast before him was far too feeble. He was afraid of killing it from the slightest carelessness.

Just like before, the second Xuanhuang beast died to the Soul Control technique.

“Xuanhuang beasts have no origin souls, so their souls are extremely frail. I need to weaken the Martial Soul Force further. However, the Martial Soul Force I’m using right now is only equivalent to the Origin realm.” Jian Chen’s eyes gradually lit up. He felt like he had unintentionally discovered these Xuanhuang beasts’ greatest weakness. ????????????????e????????. ????ｏ????

Their resistance to Martial Soul Force was extremely limited!

Martial Soul Force could pose an extremely lethal threat to them.

“It’s a pity that my achievements with Martial Soul Force are limited. Even if Martial Soul Force is truly effective against Xuanhuang beasts, I can harm Infinite Primes at most with my Martial Soul Force that’s only at Godking. However, Infinite Prime Xuanhuang beasts pose no threat to me at all.” Jian Chen sighed. He could not help but think of Hun Zang, Chu Jian, and Yue Chao.

With their Martial Soul Force at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime, they were probably capable of killing Grand Prime Xuanhuang beasts with ease in the Xuanhuang Microcosm.

Unfortunately, the resources from the Xuanhuang Microcosm were not as tempting to the Martial Soul lineage as he expected them to be, as their growth mainly depended on the Martial Soul Mountain itself instead of anything else. New chapters are publɪshed on Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

The Xuanhuang beasts that Jian Chen had captured died one by one. Even after many failures, he did not give up. Instead, he became more and more hopeful, as he discovered that he was getting closer and closer to success as he constantly adjusted the Soul Control technique.

“This is the last Xuanhuang beast. If it dies as well, I’ll have to go back and capture some more.” Jian Chen sighed helplessly inside as he gazed at the last Xuanhuang beast.

In the next moment, he unleashed the Soul Control technique that he had already adjusted several times.

The Soul Control technique turned into an invisible power that pierced the Xuanhuang beast’s head, but this time, the Xuanhuang beast did not collapse. Instead, it stood there blankly and quietly, without any activity.

At the same time, Jian Chen shuddered inside, as he discovered that he had actually developed an extremely obscure connection with the Xuanhuang beast.

“Have I succeeded?” Jian Chen’s expression changed before immediately sending a thought over to the Xuanhuang beast.

As soon as he issued the thought, the dazed Xuanhuang beast began to move its legs as he had expected, walking forwards like a robot.

At this moment, Shangguan Mu’er, who had been resting on the side, clearly sensed the abnormal behaviour of the Xuanhuang beast. Her eyes immediately rippled; she said in surprise, “Jian Chen, you’ve succeeded? You can control this Xuanhuang beast?”
