Chapter 602: Sacred Giant Dragon Sacred Light, Law versus Law
"Experience + 65000000"
"Light Element resistance ceiling increased 3%"
As the Light Orb exploded, the external Light Element seemed to lose its target and no longer surged in.
Jiang Chen also received the final piece of information.
At this moment, it was suffused with the glow of upgrading.
In less than two minutes, Jiang Chen completed the jump from Level 70 to Level 71.
All the incoming soul power, Jiang Chen took in completely, not missing a single strand.
Jiang Chen actually doesn't care about levels; moving from Level 70 to Level 71, if he himself were to grind an Instance, it would probably only take a few days.
This wave of assessment only saved him a few days, nothing special.
The key is the increase in Light Element resistance.
His resistance to Light Element suddenly reached 100%, achieving Light Element immunity.
After becoming immune to poison element and Electric Element, he is also completely immune to Light Element.
He couldn't help feeling a little excitement.
"Made a profit!"
Jiang Chen thought to himself, this wave was indeed very profitable.
The assessment platform still flickered with a faint light, and Jiang Chen could clearly feel Light Element dancing merrily here.
This is a Sea of Light Element; aside from Light Element, no other elements exist.
Other elements have been expelled by an inexplicable force.
The force that can expel elements is at least high Divine Level.
Only the law can achieve that.
He felt eyes falling upon him.
At the center of the assessment platform, a wholly radiant giant dragon was staring at him.
It was observing Jiang Chen, its gaze slightly curious.
Jiang Chen was also observing it; it differed somewhat from the dragons he had seen before.
Its size was larger than the dragons he had previously seen, especially its body length, which was astonishing and even a bit exaggerated.
Comparing it with the Laelin he had just seen.
Its body length was at least twice that of Laelin, and it had a thick, long tail behind it.
Its appearance differed noticeably from a typical dragon, yet it was undeniably still a dragon.
"It's very special!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.
The dragon before him gave Jiang Chen an extremely special feeling, unlike other dragons.
"Human Race little fellow, you are quite good," the dragon said.
It showed no hostility toward Jiang Chen, and seemed to have a hint of friendliness.
Jiang Chen would not relax his guard because of this; he kept proper courtesy in his words, neither servile nor arrogant, "Thank you for the compliment, may I ask how you are addressed?"
The dragon expelled a Light Orb, which dispersed in the air and turned into smoke.
Then it inhaled again, drawing in a large number of Light Orbs.
The incoming Light Element was too much, coalescing into mist, which it then expelled.
Watching the whole process, Jiang Chen thought of a phrase: swallow clouds, exhale mist.
This scene felt inexplicably familiar.
The dragon slowly spoke, "My name is Sacred Light, the Holy Giant Dragon. And you?"
He was very polite; Jiang Chen introduced himself, "Human Race Jiang Chen, profession: Undying Holy King."
Sacred Light swallowed clouds and exhaled mist again, "You were able to absorb all the soul power just now, even gaining a level, indicating your soul tier is high."
"Level 71 now, then passing my assessment will be slightly easier."
Jiang Chen deduced that leveling up within an Instance does not affect the assessment Difficulty.
That means the assessment Difficulty was set before he entered the Instance.
Jiang Chen said, "May I ask, Lord Sacred Light, what is the assessment for the third stage?"
Sacred Light performed another swallow clouds, exhale mist; it seemed to say, "The third stage, actually, is quite simple."
"Do you see the palace behind?"
The palace is enormous; how could one not see it, it's not as if one is blind.
Sacred Light continued, "As long as you can enter the palace, you will have passed the assessment."
"Enter the palace?"
Jiang Chen looked; the palace was huge, at least over a thousand meters tall, its depth unknown.
The front doors of the palace were open, allowing a vague view of its interior.
He was now about five thousand meters from the palace; at his fastest speed, flying there would take roughly 6 seconds.
However, Jiang Chen had an even faster method; 2 seconds would suffice.
But Sacred Light would certainly block him; the key issue was not the past, but how to break through Sacred Light.
Jiang Chen asked, "Any method will do?"
Sacred Light nodded, "Yes, any method will do."
Jiang Chen said, "What kind of power will you wield?"
Sacred Light looked at Jiang Chen, "According to the rules, it will not exceed Level 85. But I …"
Jiang Chen said, "Is there a time limit?"
"Of course, since you're of the Human Race, I'll make an exception and give you 24 hours. Is that enough?"
Holy Light was clearly confident in itself; it thought Jiang Chen could not break through its defense.
Jiang Chen also knew that if he truly couldn't break through, it wouldn't matter whether he got 24 hours or even 2 hours.
"Then, I'll give it a try."
Holy Light once again swallowed clouds and exhaled mist, "You may start at any time."
It wore a nonchalant expression, apparently brimming with confidence, which unintentionally put pressure on Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen inhaled deeply, knowing that as a holy giant dragon, Holy Light's level was at least Divine Power Level 96, perhaps higher.
If it were to block with full force, there would be no chance for him.
The only chance is that it can exert no more than Divine Power Level 85.
At the same time, Holy Light made it clear that its greatest strength was defense.
Indicating that it might use its own body to block.
And its body.
Even if it just stood still for Jiang Chen to strike, Jiang Chen would probably still not break its defense.
Jiang Chen thought for a few seconds and came up with an idea.
"A surprise attack offers the greatest chance."
There is no Void Suppression Effect here, so Jiang Chen can fly.
All restrictions have been lifted, and what he must now do is try every possible method to enter the palace and pass the assessment.
With a thought, a multitude of Headless Knights appeared in the sky.
The Headless Knights, upon appearing, launched a charging Skill at Holy Light.
At the same time, a Headless Knight appeared in front of Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen instantly mounted the knight's warhorse.
The Headless Knight, carrying Jiang Chen, activated a charging Skill toward the palace.
Racing toward the palace at 3,000 meters per second, it would take only two seconds to burst into the palace.
Jiang Chen flashed like a streak of light, passing Holy Light, which seemed to show no reaction at all.
The palace instantly enlarged before his eyes; after 1.5 seconds, it was within arm's reach.
Suddenly, a brilliant light blazed, and a shield resembling a Barrier appeared before him.
"Charge!"
It's within reach; there is no way to give up halfway.
With resolve, he kept charging with the Skill, crashing forward.
Targeting the Barrier, the Headless Knight unleashed its strongest attack.
With a booming crash, the Barrier remained unmoved; the Headless Knight was severely damaged, and a massive rebounding force swept back, hurling both it and Jiang Chen away.
Jiang Chen was flung backward nearly a kilometer before stabilizing in the air.
The force reflected by the Barrier was roughly twice the Headless Knight's impact strength.
This reminded Jiang Chen of the grassland that possesses a rebound property.
This Barrier also has the same property.
Looking around, the entire assessment platform was now enveloped by the Barrier.
The Barrier resembled a large bowl turned upside down over the assessment platform.
The holy giant dragon Holy Light didn't move at all, just stood there, a hint of a playful smile in its eyes.
Jiang Chen had originally planned to let the Headless Knight distract it, then seize the chance to rush into the palace.
But the holy giant dragon only used a defensive Skill to trap itself, not engaging with the Headless Knight at all.
It itself also didn't move.
Jiang Chen's mind shifted, and he didn't waste time on it.
As long as it doesn't move, Jiang Chen has no intention of moving it.
The Headless Knights each changed targets, flying in all directions.
Jiang Chen approached the edge of the Barrier, placed his hand on it, and felt the flow of energy within.
This Barrier was generated by a Skill, unlike the Abyss Barrier.
It was filled with Light Element and a faint peculiar aura.
Upon careful sensing, Jiang Chen realized this was the breath of a Law!
Holy Light employed the Law, combining Light Element to create this Barrier.
But it controlled it deftly; the power tier was high, yet the power ceiling truly did not exceed Divine Power Level 85.
Jiang Chen could say nothing about that.
Holy Light only said it wouldn't exceed Level 85, not that it wouldn't use the Law.
With the Law added, the Barrier before him appeared to be Level 85, and even a Divine-level Strongman might not be able to break it.
No wonder Holy Light looked so recklessly confident, not fearing Jiang Chen's sudden charge at all.
"The breath of the Law!" Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
Holy Light looked at Jiang Chen, "Not bad, you actually saw it."
His words were laced with confidence, as if saying, "You may have seen it, but so what—still can't break it!"
