Chapter 228: What Is This Rune? It Looks Extremely Powerful

A blaze of flame fell on the Soul-Eating Insect Guard, and the Soul-Eating Insect Guard instantly let out a wail.

Its scales and hair all bristled, the massive insect body trembled continuously, emitting a shrill scream that was unbearable.

This Soul-Eating Insect Guard perhaps never expected in its whole life that it would suffer a Soul Attack.

The wail of the Soul-Eating Insect Guard triggered turbulence in the entire Spirit Shield, and the original breach quickly widened.

Jiang Chen immediately seized the chance, directing the Skeleton Mage's assault to pour into the breach.

He also used the skill: Damage Curse, with Red Light flashing, the curse effect passing through the breach into the Soul-Eating Insect Guard's body.

The Soul-Eating Insect Guard had only 50,000 constitution; faced with Soul Burn, the Skeleton Mage's massive attacks, and a tenfold damage bonus from Damage Curse, it was essentially killed in an instant.

The breach in the Spirit Shield grew larger, losing a quarter of its defense.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and unleashed the final strike, skill: Corpse Explosion.

This explosion knocked down the remaining three Soul-Eating Insect Guards, but only inflicted a light wound on the Soul-Eating Insect Mother.

The Soul-Eating Insect Guard's constitution was weak and its vitality limited, whereas the Soul-Eating Insect Mother possessed 200,000 constitution and formidable defense, so Corpse Explosion could not be fatal.

With the death of the Soul-Eating Insect Guard, the Spirit Shield finally vanished.

The Skeleton Mage's skill rained down on the Soul-Eating Insect Mother like a flood, while the Skeleton Warrior brandished a Blade and charged at it.

The Soul-Eating Insect Mother trembled all over, feeling the terror of death.

The second explosion arrived on schedule, the Soul-Eating Insect Mother was hurt again, and the third and fourth explosions followed as expected.

The Corpse Explosion caused by the four Soul-Eating Insect Guards, the Soul-Eating Insect Mother

sustained a serious wound.

The Soul-Eating Insect Mother shook all over, dropping large patches of small hills.

All of them were young bodies from Soul-Eating Insect Nests.

Soon, the Secret Realm rumbled, and the massive energy Soul transformed into blue light beams that poured into these Nest juveniles.

The nests grew rapidly; in just three seconds they rose to over ten meters tall.

They were exactly like the small hills Jiang Chen saw in the outside world.

Jiang Chen felt a stir in his heart and ordered the Skeleton Warrior to halt.

"Since you asked for death..."

Jiang Chen guessed what the Soul-Eating Insect Mother would do next.

This is its skill, Super Incubation.

It harnesses the Soul Energy in the Secret Realm to quickly hatch Soul-eating Insects.

It does not understand that the more Soul-eating Insects there are, the faster it dies.

Jiang Chen isn't afraid of having many.

Each Soul-eating Insect will become its death talisman.

The Soul-Eating Insect Mother activated its final skill.

The hill exploded, and a Giant Soul-Eating Insect burst out.

Each stood six to seven meters tall; although not as large as the Soul-Eating Insect King, they still looked very powerful.

Within just a few seconds, nearly a hundred powerful Giant Soul-Eating Insects were suddenly spawned.

The Soul Energy accumulated over years in the Secret Realm was suddenly consumed by more than half.

The entire Secret Realm dimmed.

Jiang Chen was too lazy to use Detection Technique to check their attributes.

Anyway, they were about to die soon.

"Focus fire!"

The Skeleton Warrior gave up attacking the Soul-Eating Insect Mother and turned toward the newly hatched Giant Soul-Eating Insects.

The Skeleton Mage's attacks also fell upon them.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and tapped.

Red Light rained down from the sky.

Skill: Damage Curse!

He doesn't want to use Slow Curse; now he seeks to kill one instantly.

As long as he can kill one, the rest will be easy.

The Soul-Eating Insect Mother clearly didn't know that.

Blue light flickered on its body.

Bang

!

All skeletons were attacked.

Skill: Soul Explosion!

But this skill wasn't very useful.

The Lich General cast a skill to heal.

The Soul-Eating Insect Mother suddenly targeted a Lich General,

Skill: Soul Frost!

The Lich General's healing was instantly interrupted, and the figure froze on the spot.

The Lich General suffered severe injury, reaching the brink of death.

Jiang Chen was startled, and quickly retracted it.

If the Soul-Eating Insect Mother's attack were a bit stronger, this Lich General would have died.

When the Lich General withdrew, its Undead Legion also vanished.

The Secret Realm instantly became an empty space.

The Soul‑eating Insect Mother seemed to see hope and began to target other Lich Generals!

At the same time it ordered the Giant Soul‑eating Insect to charge at the Lich General, ignoring the Skeleton.

"Still want to come? Dream on."

Jiang Chen let out a light shout and rushed to the front of a Giant Soul‑eating Insect.

At close range he pointed at it, and a flash of White Light sprang from his fingertip.

Skill: Bone Fang!

In almost three seconds, Jiang Chen released at least five rounds of Bone Fang consecutively.

Cast at short range, each attack of 1,200 Bone Fangs landed without a miss, and he devoured them all.

A total of 6,000 Bone Fangs dealt astonishing damage.

Skeleton Warrior attacks, Skeleton Mage focus fire.

Tenfold damage amplification from the Damage Curse.

The Giant Soul‑eating Insect was instantly killed!

Amid the scream, the Soul‑eating Insect finally seemed to sense the danger of death.

It let out a fierce scream, but it was already too late.

Explosion after explosion.

Its scream was completely drowned out.

Each Giant Soul‑eating Insect hatched by Super Incubation became a death talisman of the Soul‑eating Insect Mother.

The entire Secret Realm rumbled, with explosions ringing incessantly.

Jiang Chen had a

thorough, total explosion show.

One minute later, the explosions finally ceased.

By then the Soul‑eating Insect Mother was dead beyond death.

"Kill Soul‑eating Insect Mother, Experience +5600000"

"Obtained Soul‑eating Insect Egg"

"Obtained Soul Crystal ×10"

"Obtained Soul Gem"

"Soul‑eating Insect Mother Egg: the egg of the Soul‑eating Insect Mother, can be given to a Beast Tamer to hatch, yielding a Soul‑eating Insect Mother"

"Soul Crystal: a one‑time item; each use permanently increases Spiritual Power by 1,000 points, with unlimited uses"

"Soul Gem: permanently increases Spiritual Power recovery speed by 100 times"

The last batch of Giant Soul‑eating Insects that emerged also brought a hefty amount of Experience Value.

Compared with these gains, it's truly nothing.

The Soul‑eating Insect Mother Egg is so valuable that even Jiang Chen, though ignorant, can guess its worth.

Desert Ant Queen Egg already has considerable value, but compared to the Soul‑eating Insect Mother Egg, it's undoubtedly worlds apart.

When there's time later, taking this thing out will surely attract Beast Tamers scrambling to snatch it.

Soul Crystals are good; previously at the Soul‑eating Insect King location I obtained five.

Now the Soul‑eating Insect Mother gave another ten.

Fifteen Soul Crystals can permanently increase Spiritual Power by 15,000 points.

For Jiang Chen, that's extremely important.

Lastly, the Soul Gem.

Jiang Chen never expected there to be such a treasure.

Spiritual Power recovery speed increased 100 times.

In Meditation State, Spiritual Power recovery speed is about 20 times normal.

Even when meditating in the university's Skill Training Hall, Spiritual Power recovery speed is about 50 times natural recovery.

The Military Training Ground is faster, roughly 100 times natural recovery.

In other words,

After using the Soul Gem, his Spiritual Power recovery speed will be the same as when he entered the Military Training Ground.

Thus, if it can be stacked with the Military Training Ground, he won't have to worry about skill cultivation later.

Even if it can't surpass Desert Fruit, it's not far behind.

"No wonder the teacher said the Ancient Battlefield is full of countless opportunities."

"I've only been here a few days and have already obtained so many treasures."

Jiang Chen felt waves of joy welling up inside him.

When he killed the Soul‑eating Insect Mother, it triggered an anomaly in the Ancient Battlefield.

The long‑unchanging light that shrouded the Ancient Battlefield suddenly turned chaotic.

Countless people in the Ancient Battlefield looked up toward the sky.

Many veterans who had honed themselves in the Ancient Battlefield solemnly said, "A World‑Class Boss has been killed!"

He is an elder from the Human Race, level 60, who has been crawling through the Ancient Battlefield for many years.

His teammate asked in surprise, "Who is so powerful that they could kill a World‑Class Boss?"

The elder replied, "I don't know which World‑Class Boss was killed, nor what good items dropped."

"I heard that World-Class Bosses drop some special items, is it true?"

"Of course it's true, that's the good stuff."

"Really? Then let's go find a World-Class Boss too."

"Heh." The old man sneered, "World-Class Bosses aren't that easy to find; they hide in various Secret Realms and require an opportunity."

"And..." The old man, lost in thought as if recalling, his eyes flashing with deep light, "Even if you find them, you might not be able to defeat them; you could end up being killed back."

It's not just

He—anyone who has been rolling around the Ancient Battlefield for years knows what the change in light signifies.

Those who can kill a World-Class Boss are not easy to provoke.

Even hostile races, if they knew, would definitely avoid it.

Hostile as they are, who would go to their death?

Jiang Chen does not know the outside situation.

Since the Soul-Eating Insect Mother died, the Secret Realm space has begun to warp and is gradually disappearing.

Jiang Chen knows that in the future the Secret Realm may once again nurture a Soul-Eating Insect Mother.

Then that Soul-Eating Insect Mother would hatch a large number of Soul-eating Insects.

A new Soul-Eating Insect King would appear.

Soul-eating Insects will again occupy vast lands.

And the cycle repeats.

Just like the Elemental Secret Realm in Otherworld Battlefield No. 3.

The Elemental Queen will appear again in the near future.

Recall the Undead Legion and let them go back to recuperate.

Only two Skeletons remain by his side.

When the Secret Realm completely vanished, Jiang Chen saw a peculiar object.

It bore a purple glow and was slanted into the ground.

It looked just like a Knight Shield.

What is this?

Jiang Chen dismissed the Lich Legion and stepped up to the object.

He did not touch it directly.

Hong Jishi had told him that many things in the Ancient Battlefield are strange and dangerous.

Everything requires caution.

When in doubt, use Detection Technique; it brings countless benefits without a single harm.

"Primordial Rune"

"Qualification Certificate for Entering Primordial Space"

Jiang Chen's whole being showed excitement.

Primordial Space.

In Hong Jishi's description of the Ancient Battlefield, this is the greatest opportunity of the Ancient Battlefield.

Inside, one can obtain various treasures, Skills, and so on.

But getting in is too hard, and it's extremely dangerous; one could easily die.

Hong Jishi once entered

and gained tremendous benefits from it.

According to Hong Jishi, it was the Primordial Space that laid the foundation for him becoming a Divine-level Professional.

If he hadn't been able to enter the Primordial Space back then, he might not have become a Divine-level Professional.

Li Xueru further told Jiang Chen that the Human Race's Detection Technique is obtained from the Primordial Space.

How useful and important Detection Technique is, only those who use it know.

It seems ordinary, yet it holds an extraordinary significance.

Unexpectedly, within the Soul-eating Insect's nest, a Primordial Rune was hidden.

He quickly picked up the Primordial Rune, which bore complex, obscure patterns.

Suddenly the Primordial Rune vanished, merging into his body.

A Red Light shot from Jiang Chen's body, soaring straight into the sky.

From the space beside him, a Dagger suddenly thrust out, stabbing fiercely!

What?!
