Chapter 242: The Strength Isn't Much, Just All Show

The Crimson Moon Demon continues to attack incessantly; the name of its Infinite Thrust skill truly lives up to its description, and its attack targets multiply as Jiang Chen summons the Undead Legion.

The attack power also drops rapidly, now only one‑tenth of its initial strength.

For Jiang Chen, this no longer poses any pressure.

He looks around and finds the Crimson Moon Demon already far hidden in a corner of the Barrier.

A swirl of green aura circles there, as if announcing outward: "I'm here, I'm here!"

Jiang Chen laughs, "Escape? Is it useful?"

Because the Barrier is a cage, it traps not only Jiang Chen but also the Crimson Moon Demon.

The Skeleton Warriors lift the Abyss Demon's corpse and cheerfully pursue it together with Jiang Chen.

The Crimson Moon Demon is completely unaware that death is imminent for it.

It curls in the corner, silently enduring the poison's assault.

The damage is small, yet continuous, making it feel quite uncomfortable.

And the Soul Burn Jiang Chen just used now makes it agonized to the extreme, its whole body trembling.

The sound of footsteps goes "crack!", and an Abyss Demon's corpse is thrown onto the Crimson Moon Demon's head.

Boom—! The explosion roars deafeningly, damage sweeping in like a tsunami.

The Crimson Moon Demon emits a silent wail as the ground trembles. Corpse Explosion erupts, dealing massive damage.

The surrounding spikes burst, spouting copious slime that dyes the entire area blue.

Jiang Chen stands amid the slime, his Bone Armor glittering, effortlessly blocking all damage.

The Crimson Moon Demon tries to flee again, but its underground movement is not swift.

Another corpse is tossed over. Boom—! The ground shakes again, and the Crimson Moon Demon lets out a silent scream.

Corpses keep being thrown

over and over

After enduring twenty consecutive Corpse Explosions, the Crimson Moon Demon is blown to pieces with a final wail.

"Kill a Level 55 Crimson Moon Demon, Experience +2750000, Military Merit +10000."

This is a Level 55 Lord‑level Demon, with experience equal to a BOSS and Military Merit as high as 20000.

Jiang Chen and Yi Ning each receive 10000 Military Merit. The Crimson Moon Demon is actually not powerful, appearing rather weak.

It's just that when it appeared, there were far too many flashy gimmicks!

As a Lord‑level Demon, it's somewhat odd.

As long as its true form can be found, eliminating it isn't hard.

And if it could fly, the Crimson Moon Demon would pose no threat at all.

In the end, the Crimson Moon Demon has obvious weak spots; once grasped, killing it is not difficult at all.

The Enchantress Demon King targeted Jiang Chen's skill and sent the Crimson Moon Demon over, indeed leaving him in a hopeless situation.

He didn't expect Jiang Chen had just mastered a poison‑type skill, which turned the tide for him.

A warning bell rings constantly in Jiang Chen's mind.

The Enchantress Demon King must have obtained a lot of information about him to target him so precisely.

Someone from the Human Race leaked their information to the Enchantress Demon King.

"Is it someone from the Cult of the Demon?"

Jiang Chen thinks to himself that this possibility exists.

Yi Ning flies over, lets out a long sigh, "Finally killed it."

"Hmm." Jiang Chen says little else, withdrawing the Undead Legion, leaving only two Skeletons.

The battle lasted a full hour before it finally ended.

The Abyss Demon and Crimson Moon Demon were both slain, and the Barrier could not hold much longer, beginning to collapse gradually.

Ding‑dong!

From outside the Barrier comes a flood of sounds.

Someone is actually attacking the Barrier

Jiang Chen and Yi Ning are slightly startled, turning their heads together.

With a "bang", the Barrier shatters like glass, dissipating into the air.

They once again see the unchanged light of the Ancient Battlefield that has persisted for countless years.

Their Red Light still shoots straight into the sky, competing brilliantly with the Ancient Battlefield's glow, dazzling the eye.

"Did you think hiding inside the Barrier would make us unreachable?"

"Primordial Rune belongs to our Dragon Race."

A large group of Dragon Race Professionals, bristling with killing intent, rush in.

There are at least five or six squads, thirty to forty people.

It was they who attacked the Barrier before, accelerating its collapse to some extent.

Jiang Chen bears a faint smile of delight.

The Dragon Race is truly great,

granting experience, gear, and Military Merit!

Seeing that they're trapped inside the Barrier, yet still helping from outside to assault the Barrier—how wonderful!

Jiang Chen is about to act when a sudden roar echoes.

"Protect my Human Race!"

A team of twelve professionals charged in from a distance.

It seems they intend to help Jiang Chen.

A flash of sharp light flickered in Jiang Chen's eyes; whether they truly meant to help or not, he must remain sufficiently cautious.

Strike first to be strong.

The Skeleton scooped up the Abyss Demon's corpse from the ground and hurled it upward.

The corpse instantly flew before the Dragon Race Professionals.

A red light flashes.

Skill: Damage Curse!

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

Two corpses, two explosions!

The charging Dragon Race Professionals fell like raindrops.

None survived.

A few who hadn't fallen yet, after a second of daze, let out a sudden scream and fled at speed without looking back.

The Dragon Race Professionals aren't very bright, but they're not completely brainless.

They also know how to run for their lives.

The Human Professionals who were rushing over.

The field froze, staring blankly at the Dragon Race Professionals falling like raindrops.

Each of them struggled to swallow saliva.

Some rubbed their eyes, thinking they were seeing an illusion.

"Am I seeing things? Who can tell me if this is an illusion?"

"I also think it's an illusion, but it doesn't quite seem like one."

"These Dragon Race ones just died like that?"

"They really died; the Skeleton seems to be stripping their gear..."

"Whoa, this move is so skillful!"

Jiang Chen's storage space is filled with all kinds of equipment.

The majority of them come from the Dragon Race.

They're all Platinum Equipment; whether useful or not, stripping them first is certainly correct.

A few Skeletons scurried over, skillfully stripping the equipment.

This kind of thing, done countless times, makes one shiver with its proficiency.

Yi Ning's mouth twitched...

The lingering light glanced at Jiang Chen's indifferent expression.

This guy looks like a bandit.

Jiang Chen glanced at the sky.

It has been ten days since he obtained the Primordial Rune.

The red light column is gradually dimming; the fusion has entered its final stage.

During the ten days of fusion, people keep coming to snatch the Primordial Rune.

If he is killed and someone else obtains the Primordial Rune, that person will undergo the same process as he did.

It's like a process of recognition.

Only by enduring ten days can one gain the Primordial Rune's recognition, and thus earn the qualification to possess it.

But for ordinary professionals, surviving ten days is not easy.

It requires either a powerful team or exceptional personal strength.

Yi Ning was lucky to have met him; otherwise it would be hard to survive ten days.

Being able to get through the first five days is already decent.

At this moment, Yi Ning still has three days left until the fusion ends.

Time.

With him here, there will basically be no problem.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Chen gathered all the equipment and continued deeper into the Ancient Battlefield.

The Divine Selection Secret Realm appears in random locations each time, but it's down to luck.

Relatively speaking, the closer one gets to the Core Area, the higher the chance of appearance.

In the end, it still comes down to chance.

Yi Ning lounged lazily on the Holy Spirit Unicorn and asked, "Are you going to search for the Divine Selection Secret Realm?"

Jiang Chen hummed, "I want to obtain Divinity."

Yi Ning understood, "With your strength, passing through the Divine Selection Secret Realm is no difficulty at all."

Jiang Chen was confident about that.

But the premise is that he must be able to find it.

Some people have bad luck; searching for months, even a year and a half, is normal.

Yi Ning's beautiful eyes flickered, "When I have fully fused the Primordial Rune, I'll help you find it."

She said this while tossing a Fixed-Point Teleport Stone to Jiang Chen.

Yi Ning's unicorn can fly, and it moves very fast.

As long as there is no influence from the Primordial Rune, she is not in much danger here.

Searching for the Divine Selection Secret Realm from the air is far more efficient than Jiang Chen.

"Thank you!" Jiang Chen also didn't hold back, and took the Positioning Teleport Stone outright.

Yi Ning gave a sweet smile, "It should be me thanking you; you helped me a lot."

Jiang Chen shook his head, "It's all trivial, a mere lift of the hand."

From the previous Battlefield Ghost King, to this time rescuing her.

It was a trivial matter for Jiang Chen, but for Yi Ning it was a great favor.

Yi Ning thought for a moment, "In any case, thank you. Whatever I can do for you in the future, I will certainly not refuse."

"Alright."

Jiang Chen responded calmly.
