Chapter 489: Still Got Away, a Powerful Character
The ancient bloodline of the Dragon Race, like the Human Race's Top‑tier Professionals, is an unrivaled supreme existence.
In the past, only professions such as Earth Knights could contend with the Dragon Race's ancient bloodline.
But that legend has now become a sealed piece of history.
Jiang Chen's appearance overturned the order between races.
His existence became an unknown variable.
Just now, Jiang Chen, clearly only Level 52, resolutely stepped into the Dragon Army of one hundred thousand.
These Dragon Warriors, even at their lowest cultivation, have reached Level 70.
Even Dragon Race ancient bloodline strongmen above Level 80 hide among them.
If this were placed in the past, it would undoubtedly be a fanciful tale.
Yet Jiang Chen truly accomplished it.
Watching those Roaring Dragon Warriors charge forward, they were intercepted midway by his Skeleton General.
Nether Fire, Shadow Spike, and Touch of Death acted simultaneously, rendering them agonizingly painful.
Without the aid of a Strong Soldier, a Skeleton General would not be their opponent.
Even thousands of Skeleton Generals could scarcely resist their sharpness.
But now, each Skeleton General's strength matches theirs.
Especially when a Skeleton General activates its Skill, they can only retreat step by step, daring not to stand firm.
Jiang Chen gave a cold smile, "If you can get before me, then speak."
He flicked his fingers lightly, and strands of pale light flashed.
Within the pale light were interspersed mournful screams.
In the blink of an eye, several Dragon War Generals were turned into powder by Corpse Explosion.
Their corpses, in Jiang Chen's hands, became new weapons.
"What use is there even if there are many?"
"These useless Dragons will only become the source of my power."
Jiang Chen's voice was icy and profound, instilling fear.
Along with a
The flickering pale light caused warriors in the Dragon Army to fall continuously.
Each time Jiang Chen struck, several Dragon strongmen perished.
And those Above Level 80 Dragon strongmen were his primary targets.
Each had dozens of Skeleton Generals besieging them, plus the ranged attacks of Skeleton Mages and Skeleton Archers, making them unable to resist.
To end the fight swiftly, as long as they did not choose to flee, Jiang Chen deliberately avoided using Bone Prison.
After all, once bound, their attack power would be greatly reduced, inevitably lowering combat efficiency.
In just a few breaths, the Fortress was completely shattered by the toxic assault.
Even with the sturdiest materials, before that toxin the Fortress remained as fragile as paper.
The Secret Realm finally unfolded completely before everyone, just as Jiang Chen had anticipated.
This floating Fortress's core purpose was to guard this Secret Realm.
A hint of coldness glimmered in Jiang Chen's eyes, "It seems your true secret lies within this Secret Realm."
The Dragon commander's complexion turned deathly pale, and it bellowed, "At any cost, defend the Secret Realm!"
Jiang Chen shook his head lightly, "You cannot hold it."
At this moment, the Secret Realm was surrounded by layers of toxin, making entry from outside difficult and escape from within impossible.
Worse still, the toxin kept spreading, its range gradually eroding into the depths of the Secret Realm.
Some warships tried to break through the toxin and force entry into the Secret Realm.
Relying on powerful shields, they attempted to resist the gas's corrosion.
However, once they touched the gas, the shields collapsed instantly.
Immediately thereafter, the warship disintegrated in the air, and the Dragon warriors on board, without exception, all perished in the Yellow Springs.
Spring.
All of this happened in an instant.
The commander, frantic with anxiety, roared, "Stop worrying about those Skeletons, focus all fire on killing Jiang Chen!"
It never imagined that a battle it thought was a guaranteed victory would turn into such a situation in such a short time.
The Dragon Race's Skeleton Generals were almost completely annihilated, and a thousand warships suffered heavy losses.
And the cause of all this was merely a Level 52 being.
How exactly did Jiang Chen achieve all this?
"Want to kill me?" Jiang Chen curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, and flames suddenly ignited in his palm.
Finally, he had a moment of leisure, preparing to use the mighty Soul Burn.
A flash of fire, and the Dragon commander with the ancestral bloodline let out a mournful scream.
It could barely hold its weapon, its body writhing in painful agony under the flame's scorching.
Soon after, the screams rose and fell, and Jiang Chen showed no mercy, applying Soul Burn one by one to those Above Level 80 Dragon War Generals.
They revealed deep terror within the screams.
Jiang Chen's attacks did not inflict fatal wounds, but the pain was unbearable, as if the body were being torn apart.
At that moment, a multitude of corpses suddenly appeared in his sight, flying in like raindrops.
Skeleton Berserkers hurled each corpse violently toward the Dragon War Generals.
Among these corpses are both puppet Dragon War Generals and genuine Dragon Race members.
When the Dragon War Generals realized the danger, it was already too late.
The corpses suddenly exploded before their eyes, and the terrifying shockwave surged like raging wind and massive waves.
Although these Level 70 puppet War Generals' attributes are not outstanding, the Corpse Explosion
skill's power, however, is far from trivial.
A 60‑fold damage Amplify, plus the 6‑times boost from the Strong Soldier skill, makes this shockwave unbelievably terrifying.
Even Dragon War Generals above Level 80 find it hard to endure.
A single strike leaves them severely wounded.
If they take a few more blows, they will surely meet their death.
The Dragon War Generals' faces turn pale, and they turn and flee.
At this moment, even the commander who possesses an ancestral Bloodline realizes the severity of the situation and knows that continuing the fight offers no chance of victory.
It unleashes powerful force throughout its body, shattering the surrounding Skeletons, and attempts to escape the battlefield.
"Want to escape? Not so easy," Jiang Chen says with a faint smile, having already secretly locked onto the auras of these Dragon Race elites.
They have just taken two steps when they suddenly feel their bodies stiffen, unable to move.
They watch as fine white bones rapidly sprout on their bodies, binding them tightly.
This is Jiang Chen's Bone Prison skill.
Although given the level and strength of these Dragon Race elites, the Bone Prison can only trap them for a second or two.
Yet on the ever‑changing battlefield, that second or two is enough to decide life or death.
Seizing the chance, the Skeleton Berserkers surround them again, their numbers twice as many as before.
Immediately after, more corpses are thrown at the Dragon Race elites.
Under the desperate gazes of these Dragon Race elites, the corpses burst open one after another.
The terrifying shockwave surges like a tsunami, engulfing them.
Jiang Chen fires from both sides, detonating ten corpses of Level 70‑plus Dragon War Generals within two seconds.
"Cheat!" a roar of fury, the Dragon Race commander finally breaks free, twin horns atop its head suddenly blaze, its whole body...
... bursting forth.
Immediately, a dragon's roar shakes the heavens, and a massive dragon's illusion appears in the sky.
The dragon illusion merges with the commander, instantly transforming into a true massive dragon.
The dragon, wielding the power of its ancestral Bloodline, forcefully smashes all surrounding Skeletons and rushes toward Jiang Chen like lightning.
Its speed is astonishing; before Jiang Chen can react, the dragon's Long Spear has already thrust toward him.
This strike gathers all the commander's power; although not a Skill, its force surpasses any Skill.
The Bloodline's power is indeed great, but using it inflicts severe damage on the body.
Nevertheless, at this moment, to kill Jiang Chen, the commander can no longer care about that.
The sharp Long Spear thrusts at Jiang Chen, but the instant it contacts his body, an invisible membrane blocks it, preventing any further advance.
This is Jiang Chen's passive skill: Damage Transfer.
As long as there is at least one Skeleton alive in the Undead Legion, Jiang Chen will take no damage.
And now, thirty thousand Skeletons stand behind him, bearing all attacks for him.
"Your attack power is indeed impressive, but you're still far from killing me," Jiang Chen says calmly, raising a finger as White Light flickers at its tip.
The Bone Fang, unused for a long time, finally erupts at this moment.
At close range, 3,120 Bone Fangs are fired almost simultaneously, focusing on the commander.
The commander's face pales, and when he tries to retreat, he finds himself surrounded by Skeletons with no escape.
Its Long Spear is firmly grasped by a massive hand.
The Bone Fang, like the sharpest weapon, instantly pierces the commander's body.
The terrifying damage in this
moment erupts.
With the boost from the Strong Soldier skill, Jiang Chen's attack power reaches a staggering level.
Although the Bone Fang is still insufficient to kill the commander outright, it at least inflicts a heavy wound.
At this point, new corpses are thrown in, and the Skeleton Great Mage and Divine Archer immediately focus fire on the commander.
The dragon's roar sounds again in the sky, and the commander activates the Bloodline power a second time.
The dragon's might clears a path; it breaks free, soars skyward, and vanishes instantly into the distance.
Its speed is like a flash of lightning across the heavens, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Chen watches its retreating direction and says lightly, "The ancestral Bloodline lives up to its name; truly hard to slay."
Under the Bloodline's power, the commander becomes immune to all negative states; no Control Skill can affect it.
Its attack power also skyrockets severalfold.
In Jiang Chen's eyes, the commander, having activated the Bloodline, now wields power comparable to the Great Leaf Mother Tree.
But to kill him, that single strike is still insufficient.
Because that strike hit a Skeleton; it can instantly kill the Skeleton, but cannot deal fatal damage to Jiang Chen himself.
"What an outstanding Warrior, but a shame I forgot to ask its name," Jiang Chen thinks to himself, "Next time I meet it, I can ask, at least kill a named fellow."
Jiang Chen withdraws his thoughts, his gaze turning to the battlefield.
The Dragon Race's fleet has long since scattered, and the remaining warships flee in all directions.
Only a few death‑defying War General puppets remain in the field, buying time.
Jiang Chen did not pursue, but turned his attention to the Secret Realm Entrance.
Dragon Race
Its secret is hidden behind that mysterious great gate!
At this moment, Jiang Chen's body shimmered with dazzling light; after several days, he leveled up again, reaching level 53.
