Chapter 588: The Terror of Mythic Weapons, A Strange Feeling

The appearance of the Dragon Race was like a few insignificant ants, crushed under Jiang Chen's foot.

After countless attempts, Jiang Chen gradually mastered the rhythm.

Explosions erupted intermittently in the sky.

From time to time, meteors were shattered mid‑air by Jiang Chen's skeletal spear; after each explosion, Jiang Chen obtained a star crystal.

The star crystals are useless for now, but once he reaches Level 80 and a slot for elemental liches opens, they might be used to summon an elemental lich.

However, Jiang Chen is unsure what kind of elemental lich the star crystal would summon or what abilities it would have.

Now he has eight elemental liches, filling all available slots.

Among them, aside from the Flame Lich and the Venom Lich, the others can be continuously swapped because raw materials are abundant.

The other liches Jiang Chen leaves untouched; if lacking materials, once replaced they cannot be recovered.

Two days later, the skeletal spear was refined to its current max level.

The Level 70 skeletal spear, over three meters long, launches with an outer layer of rapidly rotating spiral white bones.

The entire spear spins at high speed, and both its piercing power and tearing force have reached their limits.

The previous Dragon War General was the prime exception, directly pierced by the skeletal spear and blown to pieces.

Nevertheless, compared to the Undead Gaze, this way of dying is relatively better.

At least there is still a chance of revival.

Dying under the Undead Gaze leaves no chance of revival; it is an outright kill.

All skills have been refined; Jiang Chen let out a sigh.

After Level 70, the attribute changes are quite significant.

Just as he was about to check his attributes, Jiang Chen suddenly recalled a piece of equipment he possessed.

Since Level 40, all equipment has been out of reach, and Jiang Chen's sense of equipment presence dropped to near zero.

In his view, almost all equipment merely trades for a few Gold Coins or materials and offers little benefit.

However, two pieces of equipment are different.

One is the Monarch Scepter obtained from the Light Instance.

The other is the Creation Scepter.

The Monarch Scepter is a Legendary Weapon, while the Creation Scepter is a Mythic Weapon.

Both pieces are in a broken and damaged state.

Surprisingly, the Creation Scepter, despite being a Mythic Weapon, has weaker attribute bonuses than the Legendary Monarch Scepter.

This situation left Jiang Chen puzzled at the time.

Jiang Chen felt a stir; the Monarch Scepter and the Creation Scepter simultaneously appeared in his left and right hands.

A massive force surged into his body, causing Jiang Chen to involuntarily shiver.

The aura around him continuously rose, as if it had a sky‑piercing momentum.

Jiang Chen was shocked; the force clearly originated from the Monarch Scepter.

"This is… the power of attributes!"

"The Monarch Scepter works on me!"

Suppressing his shock, Jiang Chen checked his attributes.

"Name: Jiang Chen"

"Class: Undead Holy King (Unique)"

"Level: 70"

"Strength: 300000+500000"

"Agility: 300000+500000"

"Spirit: 1000000+500000"

"Constitution: 400000+500000"

"Equipment: Monarch Scepter"

"Monarch Scepter (Broken): Mythic Weapon, All Attributes +500000."

All his attributes increased by an additional 500,000.

The boost in attributes gave him a abundant sense of power.

It had been a long time since he felt equipment bonuses, and Jiang Chen somewhat missed that feeling.

The Creation Scepter is of no use to him; although it is a Mythic Weapon, his level is still insufficient.

Then he tried swapping a few more pieces of equipment.

He switched from Platinum Equipment to Quasi‑Mythic‑grade Equipment.

He changed from weapons to armor and accessories.

After all the swapping, Jiang Chen can be certain that it's not that he can use equipment again.

Rather, this Monarch Scepter has a peculiarity.

At that time in the Light Instance, Jiang Chen instinctively thought that the Angel Statue represented the God of Light.

The weapon it held in its hand was the God of Light's weapon.

"Could it be that equipment used by deities would work for me?"

Jiang Chen could not be certain.

"How could I have forgotten to ask Antares?"

Because equipment's presence to him was so low, almost zero, Jiang Chen completely forgot to ask Antares about the Monarch Scepter and never thought of it.

No matter what, the attribute increase from the Monarch Scepter is tangible.

Besides Spiritual Power, the attribute bonus from the Monarch Scepter already exceeds its own attributes.

All Attributes each gain 500,000, for a total increase of 2,000,000; of all the Mythic-level Equipment Jiang Chen knows, none have such a high Amplify.

Moreover, the Monarch Scepter is in a broken state.

At the tip of the scepter, a core component is missing, somewhat similar to the Genesis Scepter.

If someday the scepter is fully repaired, how powerful it would be.

"This should be a Mythological Class Weapon; because it lacks the core component, it fell to the Mythological Class."

"According to the records, the God of Light is only a Mid-level Mythic deity; how could it possess a Mythological Class weapon?"

"Moreover, the records state that the God of Light wields the Light Holy Sword."

"Is the Monarch Scepter truly the weapon of the God of Light?"

"Ask Antares later."

Jiang Chen felt a flood of questions rise in his mind.

Antares's existence is like a treasure chest, unlocking many of Jiang Chen's questions.

The more questions he solves, the more mysterious Jiang Chen finds this world.

He first set this question aside; Jiang Chen stared at his attributes, speechless for a long while.

Finally, he inhaled a cold breath.

His own attributes are already astonishing, All Attributes at 2,000,000.

A Human Race Mid-level Mythic Profession at Level 70 has only 1,080,000 All Attributes; he is nearly double that.

It already rivals the attributes of a Level 70 World BOSS.

Now, with the Monarch Scepter in hand, his attributes increase by another 2,000,000.

All Attributes reach an astounding 4,000,000; even a World BOSS does not reach that high.

"Unfortunately, I am Magic Class."

"Rarely do I go up against human opponents; such high attributes would be wasted."

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly; his words were somewhat inviting a rebuttal.

Who doesn't wish their attributes to be ever higher?

He equipped the Monarch Scepter.

Mythological Class equipment differs from ordinary gear; it requires a Soul Mark.

From then on, this gear belongs solely to him, cannot be traded, nor lost.

Jiang Chen's Spirit flow entered the Monarch Scepter.

The Monarch Scepter instantly let out a cheer, whooshed away, and the next second appeared in the Spirit World.

In the Spirit World, a petite scepter materialized in Jiang Chen's soul hand—the Monarch Scepter.

Jiang Chen could feel the joy transmitted from the Monarch Scepter.

It felt like meeting a long‑lost close relative; this soul‑born joy is hard to put into words.

Jiang Chen was stunned, "Do all Mythological Class equipment behave like this?"

"Why do I feel the Monarch Scepter has a sense of déjà vu?"

"How strange!"

This feeling has no origin, no root.

Jiang Chen doesn't know why either, but he trusts his feeling isn't wrong.

One question remains unresolved, yet a new problem is born.

The problems truly come one after another, arriving in succession.

He doesn't know when he'll become all‑knowing, seeing every problem clearly.

After checking his attributes, Jiang Chen finally left the place he'd stayed for days, heading toward the interior of the Meteorite Continent.

Although he knows the Dragon King Hall and the Yuan Shi Secret Realm lie within the Meteorite Continent, the exact locations are unclear.

He possesses a Primordial Rune; when within ten thousand meters of the Yuan Shi Secret Realm, the Primordial Rune emits a signal, allowing him to locate it.

As for the Dragon King Hall Instance, it will require aimless searching.

He promised Antares that he would find it no matter what, and bring back the Dragon Pearl.

According to Antares, the Dragon King Hall Instance contains two Dragon Pearls, which are somewhat important to it.

Jiang Chen promised that he would do his best.

The closer the Meteorite Continent gets to its center, the more densely the falling meteors populate the sky, and their power steadily increases.

It is said that at the core, meteor power can reach astonishing levels, even comparable to a deity's strike.

Such attack power means that only a handful of powerful World BOSSes can survive in the continent's center.

The Meteorite Continent is utterly barren, a vast desert plain.

The hills and rivers here have been flattened.

The view becomes extremely wide; Jiang Chen flies in the air, his sight extending over a hundred kilometers.

Half an hour after entering the continent, Jiang Chen finally saw the first monster living on the Meteorite Continent.
