Chapter 1771: Separation
However, Jian Chen did not defend against Shen Jian's attack at all. He smiled as he stood there leisurely with his hands behind his back. He wanted to use the toughness of his body to resist Shen Jian's attack.
With dazzling light, Shen Jian's Cloudstream sword landed on Jian Chen's chest. It radiated with powerful sword Qi, and Jian Chen's clothes were immediately reduced to dust; not a single shred remained. It revealed his stature, which was rather slender.
The dark Cloudstream sword pressed against Jian Chen's chest with its sharp edge as it shone brightly. However, to Shen Jian's disbelief, Jian Chen stopped the attack with his body and emerged completely unscathed. Shen Jian's attack that was even stronger than the attack of regular mid Gods had failed to even leave a mark on Jian Chen.
The surging light around the Cloudstream sword completely failed to injure Jian Chen as well.
Shen Jian's eyes narrowed suddenly at this sight as disbelief flooded his face. He already knew that Jian Chen's body was extremely tough. Back when Jian Chen fought Xiong Zhong on the Tian Yuan Continent, he was clearly not as powerful, yet he managed to drive back Xiong Zhong thanks to the toughness of his body and superior regeneration.
Afterwards, Shen Jian personally fought Jian Chen in outer space. The battle had cleaved the moon in half. Back then, Shen Jian's strength had completely exceeded Jian Chen's, but in the end, Jian Chen managed to cause heavy wounds to both sides thanks to the toughness of his body and unimaginable regeneration.
However, Shen Jian had never thought that Jian Chen's body would reach such an unbelievable toughness today. His full-powered strike had failed to harm Jian Chen at all.
This left Shen Jian utterly shocked.
Looking at his unscathed chest, Jian Chen was pleased with himself and nodded. He said, "I estimate that mid Gods are unable to harm me at all. Only when attacks have reached the level of late God can they draw blood."
"What a tough body," Shen Jian could not help but sigh in amazement as he drew back the Cloudstream sword. Let alone Overgods, even Godkings could not endure an attack from a mid God and emerge unscathed without blocking at all. In fact, even some Primordial realm experts might not be able to achieve that.
Gods were unable to threaten Overgods or Godkings because the origin energy they possessed was far more powerful. Even the laws they had comprehended were more powerful. Overgods and Godkings only needed to use origin energy or the power of laws to cast down a layer of defence and Gods would struggle to get through it.
If they did not use origin energy or the laws and used their body instead, even Godkings would probably end up having the sword driven through their entire body. Even some weaker Primordial realm experts would not be able to endure an attack from a God.
Of course, that was unless they practised a cultivation method that forged the body, making their bodies extraordinary tough.
It was also exactly because of this that in both the Saints' World and on the Tian Yuan Continent, people who were clearly much weaker could kill a few heavily-injured experts, even if the disparity in strength led to the weaker party being looked down upon as ants.
It was exactly due to the fragility of their bodies. Once they lost their powerful cultivation, even the existences that they had treated as ants in the past could threaten their lives.
However, Jian Chen's Chaotic Body was an exception. Even if he was heavily injured, even if he was unconscious, mid Gods would not be able to kill him thanks to the current toughness of his Chaotic Body. They would fail to even leave a mark on his body.
