Chapter 469: Enchantress Demon King's Conspiracy, Encounter with a Dragon Race Warship

Jiang Chen was unaware of the internal developments of the Holy Church. In front of him, a Lich radiating green light paced back and forth.

After self‑detonation, the toxic Lich restored to its corresponding level.

Jiang Chen used a medium divine spirit, the essence blood of the Toxic God.

This essence blood contains the terrifying power of the Toxic God.

The Angelic Holy Spirit had long been corroded and annihilated by the self‑detonated toxin, and together with its embodiment—the figure seated within the Holy Church statue—was destroyed in an instant by the toxin's devastation along the Space-time Portal.

He stared at the whirling toxic Lich, marveling at the might of the Toxic God.

A single drop of essence blood could take a Pseudo‑God's life, yet this mighty Toxic God ultimately fell into another's hands.

What exactly happened in the past?

After the great battle ended, the Wind‑Thunder Sea quickly began to recover.

Jiang Chen finished sorting the Wind‑Thunder algae cluster, harvested the thunder algae within, and then proceeded toward the Wind‑Thunder Continent.

The encounter with Savis and the others was merely an accident.

For Jiang Chen, it was only a slight delay; in the blink of an eye he had already cast the matter aside.

This time he reduced his speed a bit; while flying, Jiang Chen also summoned a Skeleton Berserker.

to make up for the earlier loss.

Countless bolts of lightning struck Jiang Chen; later, besides the lightning, the wind grew biting cold.

The wind was like a blade, in conjunction with the lightning, constantly lashing his body.

The gale was like a blade, the thunder like a sword—that is why the Wind‑Thunder Sea bears its name.

The Bone Armor emitted a fierce glow, repeatedly being shattered by blasts.

Jiang Chen kept replenishing at first, but later grew too lazy to bother.

Anyway, a horde of Skeleton comrades shared the damage, enough for him to endure until reaching the Wind‑Thunder Continent.

Summon them again when the time comes

and let the Lich General perform healing.

The subsequent journey was relatively smooth; after twenty minutes, Jiang Chen crossed the Wind‑Thunder Sea and formally entered the Wind‑Thunder Continent.

He landed on a cliff by the shore; the Wind‑Thunder had already vanished.

He summoned the Undead Legion, let the Lich General heal, while Jiang Chen surveyed the Wind‑Thunder Continent.

If one were to rank the danger levels of the Lower Space, the Divine Dragon Continent in the east is the safest, while the Wild Continent in the south and the Wind‑Thunder Continent in the north are roughly comparable.

The Falling Star Continent to the west is the most perilous.

The Divine Dragon Continent is essentially a Human Race stronghold, hosting the highest number of inhabitants.

Conversely, on the Wind‑Thunder Continent, the Human Race count has sharply declined, while Demons and the Dragon Race are comparatively more numerous.

The Three Races remain as ever; when they meet, the fighting never ceases.

It has been so for countless years, never changing.

The inter‑racial hatred is etched into their marrow, almost impossible to alter.

Jiang Chen had seen in the records that preparations for a series of battles had already been made.

He pulled out a map and saw that his current location was about ten thousand kilometers from the Wind‑Thunder Canyon.

At his present speed, even the fastest it would take is roughly four hours to arrive.

However, that assumes no delays along the way; he could not say exactly how long it would truly take.

The Undead Legion had fully recovered, and the lost Skeleton Berserkers had been replenished.

Jiang Chen's form shifted, and he electric‑shot toward the Wind‑Thunder Canyon.

Compared with when he first entered the Lower Space, his courage was now far greater.

Back then, upon seeing monsters over Level 80, his instinct was to retreat first, only fighting when avoidance proved impossible.

But now, Jiang Chen has understood

his own strength.

As long as he avoids aberrant World‑Class Bosses like the Giant Leaf Mother Tree, he fears nothing.

In the Abyss World, Shadai knelt respectfully before the Enchantress Demon King.

"Great King, Jiang Chen has indeed appeared in the Lower Space."

It recounted how it had encountered Jiang Chen.

It showed no concealment about fleeing without a fight.

In its view, being unable to defeat Jiang Chen, fleeing to save its life was perfectly normal.

For its life, it cared not for any so‑called 'face.'

The Enchantress Demon King did not blame it, but closed her eyes, showing a contemplative expression.

"Jiang Chen is only Level 52, yet he can venture into the Lower Space."

"The last time you saw Jiang Chen was in the Core Area of the Upper Space."

"It seems Jiang Chen has indeed met that one."

"Only that individual has the ability to send Jiang Chen to the Lower Space."

Shadai looked up, not understanding who that 'one' referred to.

However, it seemed to be a truly terrifying being.

She knew well that even the Enchantress Demon King could not send anyone below Level 70 into the Lower Space.

The Enchantress Demon King, with a playful smile, said, "So it appears that one must have made a deal with Jiang Chen."

"Their transaction is their business, unrelated to me. Since Jiang Chen has appeared in the Lower Space, that is our best opportunity."

"Shadai, go tell the Black Sky Demon King that Jiang Chen has entered the Lower Space; if they wish to kill him, now is the optimal moment."

If he sends someone to the Lower Space, you'll guide the way; you must have left a mark on Jiang Chen, right?

Shadai replied immediately, "Left it."

The Succubus race, besides being adept at beguiling hearts and controlling souls.

Also

Another ability: it can leave a sign silently.

Shadai's level reaches 83; the mark she left is something Jiang Chen cannot detect at all.

Shadai follows the Enchantress Demon King's orders to find the Black Sky Demon King.

After she left, the Enchantress Demon King let out a seductive laugh, "I cannot disobey the Demon Emperor's command; what must be done must still be done."

"But let that Black Sky fellow do the suicide mission; I'll just watch the show."

With its laugh, the Abyss Flame in the Enchantress Demon King's palace kept flickering, exuding a strange aura.

After entering the Wind and Thunder Continent, Jiang Chen first encountered the Thunder Tree.

On this continent, the two most common plants.

One is Windflower, the other is the Thunder Tree.

Thunder Trees attract lightning; each tree is struck by lightning from time to time.

For every thousand lightning strikes it receives, the Thunder Tree grows taller by one unit.

After a thousand strikes, the Thunder Tree becomes Platinum Tier material.

The more lightning strikes, the higher the material quality.

After one hundred thousand strikes, the Thunder Tree is a quasi‑legendary material.

Legend says that after ten million strikes, the Thunder Tree becomes Mythological Class material.

But that's only a legend; no one has ever seen it.

Ten million strikes—just thinking of it is terrifying.

Although the Thunder Tree is a fine material, it is also an extremely dangerous being.

It is not a normal tree, but a plant‑type monster.

And they exist in massive groups.

If you don't provoke them it's fine; once provoked, they swarm and attack, which is terrifying.

Jiang Chen saw the Thunder Trees; an entire mountain range was covered with them, countless in number.

Seeing massive lightning strike the Thunder Trees, the whole mountain lit up, dazzlingly bright.

Jiang Chen flew high from the sky

Soaring high, he had no intention of provoking them.

Now his goal is Zang Lei Canyon.

Suddenly, several black dots appeared ahead of him.

The black dots darted through the lightning, rapidly enlarging in his sight.

"Dragon Race Warship."

Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly; he didn't expect to encounter a Dragon Race Warship here.

But the warship's shape was odd, as if it were heading straight for him.

Jiang Chen wondered if the Dragon Race had spotted him early on.

Eight Dragon Race Warships surged straight toward Jiang Chen; they had noticed him as soon as he entered the Wind and Thunder Canyon.

Because the Dragon Race aura on Jiang Chen is so strong, it doesn't fade for years and keeps accumulating.

The intensity of the Dragon Race aura on Jiang Chen shows he has killed at least ten thousand Dragon Race members, perhaps more.

To the Dragon Race, Jiang Chen is like a huge fireball in the dark night, extremely conspicuous.

After a slight surprise, Jiang Chen already understood why.

When he first entered the Ancient Battlefield and killed his first Dragon Race, he became easily detectable by them.

Now he realizes that because of that, the Dragon Race has been tracking him for a long time.

Jiang Chen simply stopped, waiting for them to come.

The eight Dragon Race Warships differ from those he previously saw.

Their hulls have shrunk by about a third, moving faster and seeming stronger.

If the earlier warships were basic, these must be advanced.

The warships were fast; at first sight they were still tens of thousands of meters apart.

In the blink of an eye they covered most of the distance.

"They're fast, faster than me," Jiang Chen estimated in his mind.

These warships exceed 2000 meters per second

meters, much faster than Jiang Chen.

Thus, unless Jiang Chen descends to the ground, he cannot escape.

When the distance was still over three thousand meters, the eight Dragon Race Warships lit up simultaneously.

Eight massive energy beams shot toward Jiang Chen.
