Chapter 439: The Items Have Arrived, and I Naturally Keep My Promise

Jiang Chen only wanted to give it a try.

Summoning an Elemental Lich requires materials that contain elemental attributes.

Looking at the simple Beast Bone's attributes, it does not indicate which element it contains.

However, it has a self‑repair trait, and Jiang Chen intuitively thinks this might be an alternative element.

There are many kinds of elements in the world, not just the common ones like fire, wind, and light.

Besides the common elements, there are also many rare, little‑known elements.

With a mindset of trying without loss, he used the Summon Elemental Lich skill.

The skill's light gradually brightened.

All six slots for Elemental Liches are filled; to summon a new Elemental Lich, one must replace one of them.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and decided to replace the Light Lich.

At present, the Light Lich seems the least useful, only effective when facing Abyss Demons.

Moreover, he has many Light Crystals, with three pieces on him.

Even if he needs a Light Lich later, he can summon it back at any time.

The gray‑white light grew brighter; this kind of light was Jiang Chen's first time seeing it, very peculiar.

Although the light was soft and not dazzling, it was still very bright.

A gray‑white Elemental Lich leapt out of the light.

"Platinum Tier Elemental Lich"

"Level: 50"

"Strength: 90000"

"Agility: 90000"

"Spirit: 90000"

"Constitution: 90000"

"Skill: Undead Aura"

"Undead Aura: All members of the Undead Legion will not die when they first receive a fatal blow; the aura restores 50% of their health. Aura cooldown: 24 hours"

Jiang Chen stared at the light

its Aura attribute, and felt a bit shocked.

With this Aura existing, his Undead Legion will become even stronger.

Even an explosive attack like the Ancient Luan Bird, which would deal devastating damage to the Undead Legion, would leave the Legion alive.

Thus, safety is greatly increased.

As long as the Undead Legion does not die, he will not die either.

Unless he encounters something that ignores his innate skill.

Otherwise he is safe.

This Lich replacement was spot‑on; swapping the unused Light Lich for an Undead Lich was a huge gain.

Through this, Jiang Chen confirmed his speculation: the so‑called elemental materials are not limited to wind, fire, and light, but also include some special elemental materials.

If he encounters such materials in the future, he can give them a try.

For a full eight days, the two of them trekked a long distance of ten thousand kilometers.

Along the way they killed countless monsters and encountered many bosses.

Unfortunately, they could no longer find the Battlefield Beast.

Otherwise Jiang Chen could have gotten a few more Beast Bones.

The two grew ever closer to the center.

They could already see columns of light rising, intersecting and dispersing in the sky, turning into Light Belts that flew outward, enveloping the entire Ancient Battlefield.

The place where the light columns stand is Jiang Chen's target: the center of the Upper Space.

The ground changed again.

It was no longer smooth, riddled with cracks; black stones jutted up from the ground, forming uneven, hard‑to‑traverse pits.

When Jiang Chen stepped on them, he felt something odd, as if they were not mere rubble.

He let the Skeleton Berserker try to activate its skill and strike the ground.

The ground remained completely unharmed, terrifyingly hard.

Jiang Chen stopped, looking into the distance, and said, "I'll go up and take a look."

He

He flew into the air and saw countless jet‑black fragments stretching endlessly into the distance.

The ground was silent, with no monsters in sight.

The multicolored light from the sky fell down, only to be absorbed by the ground.

The whole land looked as if it had been scorched by war, a charred expanse.

The more Jiang Chen looked, the stranger it seemed; the jutting fragments appeared to follow some pattern.

He rose higher, his expression growing solemn.

These fragments were like scales on some creature's body.

Qiao Zhixin, waiting for Jiang Chen's return, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chen whispered, "I can't explain it, it just feels off."

Qiao Zhixin didn't share Jiang Chen's feeling; she only thought the path had become difficult to walk, easy to trip, and possibly fall into cracks.

But Jiang Chen said something was off, surely there was a problem, just one he couldn't see.

"Be careful!" Jiang Chen had the Undead Legion disperse around, keeping constant watch.

The pitch‑black ground seemed endless, and the two of them walked like this for a whole day without reaching an end.

They kept moving toward the direction of the light pillar; the direction could not be wrong.

But no matter how they walked, it seemed they could never reach the end.

The light pillar showed no change at all, still so distant.

At this point, Jiang Chen could only choose to keep moving forward.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew over, the wind came oddly, giving Jiang Chen a chilling feeling.

A multitude of light specks fell from the sky, merged into the wind, and blew past Jiang Chen and Qiao Zhixin.

The two instantly vanished from the spot.

After a few seconds of teleportation, Jiang Chen found himself in a kaleidoscopic world.

At this moment, everywhere was filled with columns of light shooting straight into the sky.

Seven‑colored light

converging in the sky here.

"Center!"

Jiang Chen knew he had arrived at the center of the Core Area.

As for how he got here, the answer was obvious without thinking.

To get him here silently, there could be no one but it.

Qiao Zhixin collapsed beside him, appearing to be unconscious.

It was certainly also its handiwork.

This was Qiao Zhixin's second time being knocked out by it, and Jiang Chen was not surprised.

It seemed it did not want too many people to know of its existence.

Or perhaps it thought few people were qualified to converse with it.

All its actions and words exuded arrogance.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw it.

Its size was enormous; even lying on the ground it resembled a small Mountain.

Jiang Chen estimated that if it stood up, its height would exceed a hundred meters, perhaps even larger.

A pair of gigantic wings rested on the ground, their span impossible to gauge.

It wore a listless expression, lazily lifting its eyelids to look at Jiang Chen.

"You finally came; why did it take so long," a massive voice rang in his ear.

Jiang Chen whispered, "It's fine, not that long."

Although it was powerful, Jiang Chen remained neither servile nor arrogant.

It continued, "Your upgrade speed is too slow; it took you this long to reach Level 50."

"I was delayed by some matters," Jiang Chen replied honestly.

"Heh, though the level is a bit off, your combat power is still decent," it said, continuing, "Xiaohei, come out."

Accompanied by a sharp Scream, a fire‑blazing little bird flew out from beneath it.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes; it was indeed the Ancient Luan Bird.

Only it possessed this ability, forcibly snatching the

Ancient Luan Bird" away.

The Ancient Luan Bird let out a Scream at Jiang Chen, its body

spouting black fire.

It glaringly almost killed Jiang Chen

It said a line, "Ancient Luan Bird," and immediately closed its mouth, falling silent.

"Xiaohei, shut up."

It said a word, and the Ancient Luan Bird instantly closed its mouth, quieting down.

Jiang Chen looked at it, "Is this your pet?"

Its voice remained lazy, "More or less, I sense on you something I need.

Jiang Chen took out the box that Yi Shen had given him, and took a small bead from the box.

Jiang Chen immediately guessed what it meant, surprised that even items he kept in storage could be sensed.

This giant dragon was indeed terrifying.

Jiang Chen took out the box Yi Shen had given him, and retrieved a small bead from it.

The moment he saw the bead, his Spirit instantly revived.

"Is this what Jiang Yi asked you to bring?"

Jiang Chen saw joy in its eyes, "Yes, Yi Shen sent me to bring it."

"Yi Shen said he has completed the task for you; I hope you will keep your promise."

A thunderous laugh erupted from the dragon's mouth, shaking the light pillars into distortion.

The surrounding ground rumbled and cracked, shattering everywhere.

Jiang Chen felt a slight shock; he had imagined it extremely powerful, but had no concrete notion.

Now he finally had some sense; the solid ground that he could not even scar with his full strength crumbled under its laughter

【119】 and actually shattered.

【120】 Thus, even his own Undead Legion would be annihilated if the other merely laughed twice.

【121】 Such a being is too terrifying.

【122】 After laughing for a while, the dragon opened its mouth and inhaled; the bead was instantly swallowed, and it then said in a deep voice, "I, the king, will naturally keep my promise."
