Chapter 591: A Seemingly Generous Bounty, the Vicious Long Huang

"Kill Dragon King, Experience +90000000000"

"General Star +1"

Killed the Dragon King, obtained 90000000000 experience.

General Star +1, the General Star's afterimage appeared on the Sergeant Badge for a few seconds before slowly disappearing again.

To ascend to Four-Star Divine General, one must kill four enemies of Divine-level rank.

Previously poisoned the Clone of the Black Sky Demon King, and now killed the Dragon Race's Dragon King, already halfway done.

Kill two more Divine-level beings, and you can ascend to Four-Star Divine General.

At the moment of the Dragon King's shape, Jiang Chen sensed a law appearing from thin air.

The law transferred a portion of the Dragon King's soul power into his own body, turning it into his own soul power.

Soul power increased, and experience rose accordingly.

This is the root of leveling up by killing monsters.

Jiang Chen previously couldn't sense the law, but now he can.

Enhancing the soul is the most fundamental thing; if there were any elixir that could strengthen the soul, it would directly raise the level.

As Jiang Chen learns more, many things reveal their fundamentals.

Jiang Chen's soul essence is now high enough; what he needs is a massive infusion of Soul Energy.

As long as there is enough Soul Energy, even Jiang Chen reaching Level 89 in an instant, or even becoming Divine-level, would be perfectly normal.

After all, he has already completed what is needed to become Divine-level, moving two Skill Star Cores into the soul realm.

But to put it another way, even if there were heaps of Soul Energy for Jiang Chen now, allowing him to become a god on the spot, Jiang Chen still wouldn't do it.

He still has his mind on the three flames in the Talent World.

Before moving the Talent flames into his soul, he doesn't want to become Divine-level.

Once he becomes Divine-level, the gate to the Talent World will be hard to reopen, and he can only enjoy the scant Talent power that leaks through the cracks.

Although the three Talents are still stronger than other Divine-levels, that's not what Jiang Chen wants.

If you do something, do it to the best.

With the Dragon King dead and no bones left, a fist-sized crystal fell out of the toxic gas.

Anything that can stay intact in toxic gas is clearly valuable.

Jiang Chen knew what it was: Dragon Crystal, the most precious thing inside the Dragon King.

It is also what he needs.

He reached out, inhaled, and drew the Dragon Crystal into his hand.

Then he took out the Creation Staff and made contact with the Dragon Crystal.

The Life Core on the Creation Staff generated law energy that enveloped the Dragon Crystal; the solid Dragon Crystal instantly melted and merged with the Life Core.

The Life Core is forged from Dragon Crystal; when damaged, it only needs to absorb enough Dragon Crystal to recover.

After absorbing a piece of Dragon Crystal, the Life Core seemed a bit brighter.

The surging life divine power within also strengthened considerably.

Jiang Chen felt it and muttered to himself, "Recovered about ten percent. Absorb a few dozen more Dragon Crystals and it'll be almost fully restored."

"If I could take the Long Huang's Dragon Crystal, perhaps that would be enough."

Jiang Chen's words were a bit far-fetched.

Killing Long Huang to take Dragon Crystals, even the God of Life wouldn't have thought so back then.

The God of Life is merely a high deity, while Long Huang is a Half-step Super God-level being.

Jiang Chen also didn't quite understand how the God of Life obtained so many Dragon Crystals to forge Life Cores back then.

Wouldn't that stingy Long Huang chase after them?

Really have no idea what happened back then.

After absorbing the Dragon Crystal, the Dragon King was finally truly bone-less.

Jiang Chen's side ended the battle, but the Blue Leaf Guild's fight with the Crab Boss was still ongoing.

A group watching Jiang Chen's fight were all stunned.

Even the subordinates' skills halted.

Jiang Chen put on a great show for them: how a Level 70 Human Professional single-handedly killed the Dragon Race's Dragon King.

And throughout the whole process, Jiang Chen was calm and carefree, a stark contrast to the floundering Dragon Race's Dragon King.

The Dragon Race's Dragon King had no chance to retaliate before Jiang Chen, being pressed and beaten from start to finish.

"This person is too strong."

"When did such a powerful Human Professional appear among us?"

"Have we stayed too long on the Ancient Battlefield, becoming detached from this world?"

"It's fine, we only stayed three years."

"I wonder if he's a Divine-level Strongman, using some special item to cap his level at Level 70."

"What are you babbling about, he is Divine General Jiang!"

"Divine General Jiang?"

"You say he's a Divine General? Such a young Divine General?"

"You can learn about Divine General Jiang when you return to the Divine Dragon Ancient City."

Everyone erupted in discussion like a boiling pot, their skills completely halted.

Only four Knights still circled the Crab Boss, and the healer kept treating nonstop.

When the skills stopped, the Boss's vitality began to recover rapidly.

Jiang Chen was somewhat speechless, "If you don't attack any longer, the BOSS will recover."

The Nether Spirit's gaze in the sky had not yet vanished, and the great door turned toward the Crab BOSS.

The Crab BOSS let out a wailing cry at once, and its aura quickly waned.

The life force that had just recovered vanished in an instant, even weaker than before.

Jiang Chen withdrew his hand after that single strike, refusing to steal anyone else's BOSS.

The members of the Blue Leaf Guild only then realized they were still fighting the BOSS.

They snapped back to attention and tossed their Skills at the BOSS again.

After several minutes of full‑force attacks, they finally killed the BOSS.

By then Jiang Chen had already vanished.

Jiang Chen was soaring over the Meteorite Continent; Level 70 inherently grants the ability to fly.

However, Jiang Chen still preferred using Lightning Nether Spirit Wings, whose speed surpasses his own flight.

On the Meteorite Continent, the dangerous meteors meant nothing to him.

Even the most powerful meteor was only comparable to a single Pseudo‑God strike, incapable of harming him.

Thus Jiang Chen could roam the continent recklessly at the highest speed.

As for the BOSSes on the Meteorite Continent, he cared even less.

It's fine if they don't provoke him; but if they do, a single Ku Lou Wang is enough to send those BOSSes back to await Rebirth.

In the Dragon Clan World, the bells rang out.

It is the Dragon King Death Bell, which sounds only when a Dragon King falls.

For a long stretch of time, the Dragon King Death Bell never rang.

Yet in the past year, the Dragon King Death Bell has sounded repeatedly.

Each toll signifies a Dragon King has fallen.

Though the Dragon Race numbers are great, Dragon Kings are limited.

Becoming a Dragon King is no easy feat; frequent falls would overwhelm the Dragon Race.

Golden light suddenly emanated from the sky, and a dragon silhouette appeared.

It was not a Great Dragon, but a Huaxia Divine Dragon.

The Huaxia Divine Dragon is revered among the Dragon Race as the Ancestor Dragon.

The Great Dragon ranks just below.

All dragons hope their bloodlines revert, allowing them to become Ancestor Dragons.

Ancestral bloodlines are especially precious, offering a chance to exist as an Ancestor Dragon.

Without an ancestral bloodline, no amount of effort will help.

The current Long Huang possesses a reverse ancestral bloodline, the strongest among such bloodlines.

At this moment, the phantom of the Ancestor Dragon that spans the Dragon Race is emitted by Long Huang.

Long Huang's voice boomed amid the roar, "The culprit behind this Dragon King's fall is the Human Race's Jiang Chen."

"He is now on the Meteorite Continent; any Dragon King who can slay him will receive a drop of Ancestor Dragon Essence Blood from this emperor."

"I grant a Tracking Crystal; those who wish to go may claim it before the Ancient Teleportation Array."

The entire Dragon Race boiled with excitement.

Ancestor Dragon Essence Blood may awaken their ancestral bloodlines, giving them a chance to rekindle at least the brilliance of the Ancestor Dragon.

The Dragon Race sprang into action, every Dragon King eager to try.

Previously there was no reward, so some Dragon Kings only outwardly obeyed Long Huang's orders while secretly defying them.

But now that Ancestor Dragon bloodlines are offered as reward, the Dragon Kings truly set to work.

In the Long Huang Palace, Ya Lei Ge Si and Ya Na Liu Si, two brothers, knelt on the ground together.

They returned to the Long Huang Palace to meet Long Huang, uneasy and trembling, unaware why he had summoned them.

Long Huang whispered, "Do you know why I called you here?"

The two shook their heads, still clueless.

Long Huang said, "You heard my command just now, didn't you?"

They nodded, "We heard it. We will also go to the Meteorite Continent to find Jiang Chen."

Long Huang chuckled lightly, "There are many Dragon Kings heading to the Meteorite Continent; you need not go. I summoned you this time to ask for something."

The brothers looked at each other, unsure what Long Huang required of them.

As the emperor of the Dragon Race, Long Huang is supreme; there is nothing he lacks.

Long Huang said, "I am offering a bounty on Jiang Chen, with Ancestor Dragon Essence Blood as the reward. The blood is precious, and I am reluctant to part with it."

Their faces changed dramatically, realizing what Long Huang intended.

But it was already too late; a massive force descended from the heavens onto the two.

The two instantly exploded, turning into a mist of blood.

Flesh and blood were erased, ultimately forming two drops of Essence Blood.

Each drop was the size of a head, and within the Essence Blood a Divine Dragon seemed to roar.

Long Huang smiled coldly, "Wounds inflicted by Antares are hard to heal; only Ancestor Dragon Essence Blood can treat them. The other drop will serve as a reward."

"Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen, I have slain two dragons of Ancestor Dragon bloodline for you; you should feel proud."

"If an ancestral bloodline becomes a Dragon King, there is a chance to ascend again to Long Huang. Yet why would I let you have a chance to threaten me?"

"Therefore, you will all die sooner or later."
