Chapter 16

Morax held his forehead with a speechless expression.

Although Ruo Tuo did not understand why they had to do this, Morax did not stop him, so Ruo Tuo still did as told.

The Geo Hilichurl King not far away had not yet reacted when a huge dragon claw smashed him into the ground, leaving him motionless.

"Uh... he seems unable to withstand a single slap from me."

Ruo Tuo, transformed into Stone Dragon Long Wang, emitted a voice that was simple yet slightly embarrassed.

"It's fine, it's fine, as long as the treasure chest is fine."

Jiang Yan chuckled, looking down at the precious treasure chest that had already been unlocked, and gave another chuckle.

He slid down along Ruo Tuo's arm and arrived before the treasure chest.

After skillfully opening the treasure chest, the system's voice sounded within his mind.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening the precious treasure chest! Obtained Naruto World: Nine-Tails-level Chakra!】

【Note! Tailed Beast-level Chakra does not include Tailed Beast characteristics; it is merely Chakra quantity equivalent to a Tailed Beast.】

【Converting Chakra quantity into Elemental Power...】

As the system's words fell, the Elemental Power within Jiang Yan's body began to surge wildly.

Veins extended from Jiang Yan's neck one by one; he gritted his teeth, enduring the Elemental Power constantly surging within his body.

"Jiang Yan?!"

Morax sensed that something seemed amiss within Jiang Yan's body and was just about to step forward to check the situation when he saw Jiang Yan reach out and block him.

"I'm fine."

Jiang Yan breathed heavily with difficulty, a grim smile appearing on his face.

"It's just a sudden breakthrough."

"The Elemental Power within his body has surged greatly."

Ruo Tuo Long Wang spoke in a deep voice beside Morax.

As an Elemental Dragon King, his sensitivity to Elemental Power was naturally deeper than Morax's.

The capacity for Elemental Power of this young man before them had suddenly risen to an unimaginable level.

One could say it was even greater than the Elemental Power of this Elemental Dragon King!

Ruo Tuo Long Wang looked deeply at Jiang Yan.

Everyone has their own secrets; since Jiang Yan did not speak, neither Ruo Tuo nor Morax would ask.

And after Jiang Yan successfully fused the Nine-Tails-level Chakra, he himself was immersed in joy.

The Elemental Power within his body should now be able to touch the threshold of the First Generation!

Forget about the Wood Human; even True Thousand Hands can be used whenever one wants, right?

Although he still does not know Immortal Arts and cannot use the Buddha of the Summit, it doesn't matter.

Relying on Nine-Tails-level Elemental Power, Jiang Yan had the confidence to suppress any Demon God in the Archon War!

What? You say multiple Demon Gods unite?

No problem; my True Thousand Hands will give them two hands!

Only at this moment did Jiang Yan truly relax.

He could finally stop thinking about opening treasure chests nonstop to improve his strength!

Now he only needed to proceed steadily and open a few more precious or magnificent treasure chests!

Indeed, Jiang Yan, whose confidence had swelled, had already begun to look down on ordinary treasure chests.

Even if he opened ordinary treasure chests for a hundred years, it would not compare to obtaining a Nine-Tails-level Chakra from a precious treasure chest.

So satisfying!

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

The three looked toward the direction of the tremor; a Demon God was running rapidly toward their direction.

The Demon God's face displayed an expression of terror, as if being chased by something.

"Eh? Isn't that..."

Morax and Jiang Yan exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat strange.

"What?"

Ruo Tuo Long Wang asked with some confusion.

The Demon God before them was precisely one of the two Demon Gods who had previously fought Jiang Yan and Morax, though now its state was clearly not that good.

Morax flexed his wrist and was just about to step forward when Jiang Yan blocked him with one hand.

"Let me handle it."

Jiang Yan, who had been worrying about having no place to unleash his newly gained power, was eager to try.

"Are you sure?"

Morax weighed the situation and ultimately agreed to let Jiang Yan go.

And Ruo Tuo looked completely unconcerned.

Nonsense!

A monster with more Elemental Power than I, an Elemental Dragon King, needs me to worry?!

Are you kidding me here??

Watching the Demon God approach closer, Jiang Yan stepped forward and clapped his hands together.

Violent tremors arose around him.

"Wood Release, Wood Human Technique!"

As the youth let out a cold shout, before the astonished gazes of Morax and Ruo Tuo Long Wang, a giant hand burst from the ground and instantly seized the Demon God's head.

A massive cloud of dust filled the surroundings; as the dust cleared, a giant towering like Gaoshan, with a wooden dragon coiled around his neck, pressed down on the Demon God's head, the immense pressure rendering it unable to move.

Jiang Yan stood atop the giant's head, his eyes cold, yet he smiled as he spoke to the Demon God:

"Sasunari da na, zatsu shu!"
