Chapter 256: Fortunes Turn, Today I Block the Gate

We killed the Demon, and now we can wait for the Instance to take shape.

Everyone is resting in front of the Instance; Jiang Chen and Jiang Ruo sit side by side.

Jiang Chen asked, "Sister, why do you have to enter this Instance?"

Jiang Ruo said, "The teacher calculated that a Primordial Rune will descend accompanied by starlight."

Jiang Chen was surprised to discover that his sister's teacher could actually determine the location of the Primordial Rune.

While speaking, Jiang Chen took out a disc‑shaped treasure with a needle that constantly pointed toward the Instance's location.

"The teacher derived it using this treasure."

Jiang Chen squinted slightly; he had seen a similar Bagua compass in a museum in his previous life.

The treasure in his sister's hand is indeed a Bagua compass, engraved with ancient characters and exuding an old aura.

It is identical to the Huaxia script he is familiar with.

Some, however, differ and are more complex.

"This thing is quite old."

Jiang Ruo whispered, "The teacher can calculate many things with it."

She explained that this time the teacher calculated the position of a Primordial Rune.

The Primordial Rune fell with starlight and ultimately became the Instance.

To obtain the Primordial Rune, one must enter the Instance.

Jiang Chen asked, "Is there only one Primordial Rune?" Jiang Ruo smiled, "The Primordial Rune was prepared for me; the seniors are just accompanying me."

Jiang Chen nodded, understanding the Rune's uniqueness.

He continued, "After obtaining the Primordial Rune, there is a 10‑day Fusion Period, during which it will be very dangerous."

During this time, one cannot leave the Ancient Battlefield and must face the pressure of Abyss Demons and Dragon Race.

Jiang Ruo put away the Bagua compass, a smile appearing on her face, "Don't worry, the teacher has already prepared"

"All thorough preparations; as long as I obtain the Primordial Rune, the Fusion can be completed in at most two days."

She guaranteed, "Moreover, we will be teleported to the Edge Zone of the Ancient Battlefield, where there will be no danger."

Jiang Chen nodded, gaining a clearer understanding of the upcoming plan.

He could imagine that Jiang Ruo's teacher must also be a Divine-level Strongman.

At the very least, a figure capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Hong Jishi.

Even the whereabouts of the Primordial Rune can be deduced; such a method is terrifyingly astonishing.

Accompanied by a faint sound, whirlwinds rose around.

A great amount of light was drawn upward into the Instance Vortex.

In the sky, a Light Belt formed, visible clearly for several hundred kilometers in radius.

The Instance took shape, causing quite a commotion.

Jiang Chen estimated that it was related to the Primordial Rune inside the Instance.

Other Instances forming shouldn't cause such a large disturbance.

Xu Zhangqing walked over, his expression slightly solemn, "The commotion is too great, beyond expectations, and will likely attract many people's attention."

"Abyss Demons and Dragon Race may both come."

If the Instance truly contains a Primordial Rune, the first team to clear it will most likely obtain it.

Of course, if one resets, it may also require multiple repeated runs.

If someone rushes to clear the Instance first, or is lucky enough.

Then their plan would fail.

Jiang Ruo's voice deepened, carrying a brisk vigor, "Regardless, we always seize the initiative; we will enter the Instance now."

"Xiao Chen, you should hurry as well; soon many Abyss Demons and Dragon Race professionals may arrive."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Sister, you go into the Instance first."

Jiang Ruo hummed, "Take care of your own safety."

After saying that,

Jiang Ruo and the others quickly entered the Instance.

Jiang Chen sensed the Instance.

"Blood Source Dungeon" Instance.

There is no Difficulty to select.

Just like the other Instances in the Ancient Battlefield, there are no level requirements.

Anyone can go in.

Of course, life and death are one's own responsibility.

"Rest assured, the Primordial Rune will definitely be yours."

"With me here, no one will dare disturb you."

Jiang Chen whispered, not leaving but standing guard at the Instance Entrance.

Two Undead Legions appeared, and the Skeletons surrounded the Instance Entrance.

At this moment, Jiang Chen blocked the gate.

Jiang Chen gave a self‑deprecating smile.

He had once blocked an Instance Gate for the Imperial Guild; he never expected to do the same himself someday.

Sure enough, after a short while a team of Dragon Race professionals flew over.

From afar, they saw the Instance Entrance.

The flowing light in the sky hasn't fully vanished; a Light Belt continuously streams from the heavens into the Instance.

The sky's light is the source of power for the Ancient Battlefield.

This phenomenon indicates that this Instance is unusual.

But looking at the ground, there are countless Skeletons.

The arriving Dragon Race Professionals feel a little uneasy; that many Skeletons is a bit too many.

"What's there to fear? It's only Level 31."

"Their attributes are pitifully low; with a single Skill I could wipe out a whole bunch of these Skeletons."

"Then try it."

A Dragon Mage raises his staff.

Skill: Heavenly Fire Meteor!

A massive meteor crashes down from the sky.

The Skeleton Warriors scatter with a whoosh, fleeing swiftly.

The meteor thunders onto the ground, leaving a crater.

The Skeletons run away, clearing the Instance Entrance.

"Haha! I told you, these Skeletons are useless; they've all fled!"

"Then charge over, storm into the Instance. Wait a"

"... and I think more will come soon."

The Dragon Knight leads the way at the front, a squad of riders charges down.

Jiang Chen walks over from the side at this moment and steadily stands at the Instance Entrance.

The Dragon Knight sees Jiang Chen and laughs heartily, "Level 31 Human Race little guy,

still dares to block the gate, are you bored of living?"

"Fine, kill a Human Race before entering the Instance."

"These Skeletons are yours, right, they look good

The Dragon Knight activates a skill in midair.

Skill: Charge!

The Knight's standard skill, his speed suddenly spikes, fiercely

collides with Jiang Chen.

With its Level 56 attributes, under the Charge skill, the impact force is

It is already prepared, reveling in the spray of flesh and blood.

It believes Jiang Chen will definitely be smashed

Amid the massive impact noise, the Dragon Knight was hurled away even faster.

It has already prepared, ready to watch flesh and blood fly.

That little attack power—weak, far too weak.

Amid the massive impact sound, the Dragon Knight is blasted away at an even higher speed.

The Bone Armor in front of Jiang Chen only flickers

slightly, remaining completely still.

This amount of attack power is weak, far too weak.

The Knight is blasted away, the Dragon Race Professionals following behind turn pale, hurriedly

The Dragon Knight who was blasted away crashed heavily onto the ground, and in the blink of an eye was already surrounded by skeletons.

But it's already too late.

Red Light flashes, Slow Curse descends.

The Skeletons that scattered earlier rush back at Lightning speed, soaring high

leap dozens of meters, forcefully pulling them down from the sky.

"You won't come down, truly we have no way with you," Jiang Chen says softly.

The Dragon Knight that was blasted lands heavily on the ground, and in the blink of an eye is surrounded by Skeletons.

Targeting the Dragon Team's weak point, Soul Burn blazes fiercely.

Jiang Chen moves like flowing clouds, cutting off

all their possibilities of retreat and counterattack.

Dragons like this have killed too many, gaining experience early.

Soul Burn combined with the Skeletons' attacks prevents the Dragon Support from even casting healing skills.

The Knight is blasted again far away, unable to come to aid.

It only lasted two seconds.

At the moment of its death, Damage Curse replaces the Slow Curse.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and withdrew the Undead Legion.

In the explosion, aside from the Dragon Knight, everyone else is blown dead.

Without healing backup, the Dragon Knight only lasted 30 seconds.

After Limit Defense passes, its life reaches the end.

In just about a minute total, this Dragon Team is annihilated.

The Skeletons drag their corpses back, placing them behind the Instance.

Jiang Chen thinks for a moment, folds away the Undead Legion.

【121】 Only two Skeletons remain, and he still stands at the Instance Entrance, blocking the gate.

【122】 Just two minutes later, another Dragon Team arrives.

【123】 This time it's much simpler; a Skeleton hurls the previously fallen Dragon Knight's corpse high into the air.

【124】 Damage Curse pairs with Corpse Explosion.

【125】 This Dragon Team is blown dead before they can even release a fart.

【126】 Corpses fall from the sky like raindrops.

Skeletons continue dragging the corpses back behind the Instance and hide them.

Jiang Chen says lightly, "You need to fly higher; if you fly lower, I can blow you up."

Level‑4 Corpse Explosion, explosion radius 160 m, trigger distance up to 400 m.

If you don't want to get blown up, you must keep at least a 500‑meter distance.

In general, whether it's Dragon Race or Abyss Demon, they won't fly that high.

Too high makes it hard for them to observe ground targets.

Flying not high enough turns you into their death talisman.

But it also made it easier for Jiang Chen to

Kill them.
