Chapter 603: Going to the Final Stage, He Is the Son of the World

Holy Light's tone was very flat, but it sounded a bit harsh in Jiang Chen's ears.

It had already lazily sprawled down, closing its eyes.

Jiang Chen looked at its appearance, said nothing, but a plan formed in his mind.

The Headless Knight, after a series of attempts, no matter how powerful the attack, will ultimately be reflected back with double the force.

Holy Light said that its strongest attribute is defense.

It is estimated that this strand of law possesses a reflective property.

Laws are diverse, possessing various marvelous abilities.

Having a reflective property is not surprising.

Putting away the Headless Knight, Jiang Chen arrived at the spot closest to the palace gate.

At this moment he was only two steps away from the palace gate Entrance, separated by a layer of pure white Barrier, making it hard to pass.

Jiang Chen placed his hand on the Barrier, softly saying, "It is said that only a law can counter a law."

"Then let a law break the law."

The target locked onto the Barrier before him, and a drop of green vital blood appeared in his hand.

The vital blood of the Poison God, which also contained a hint of law's aura.

Although the Poison God is not a high-level deity, it has already touched the realm of high-level deities, so its blood contains a hint of law.

If no mishap occurs, given the Poison God more time, it will surely become a high-level deity.

The law embedded in a single drop of vital blood is weak, and the law within the Barrier is also not strong.

The Sacred Giant Dragon Holy Light, in order to control its power, injected only a very limited amount of law into the Barrier.

But the Corpse Explosion Skill can amplify the vital blood's power sixteenfold, and the law inside will also be amplified.

A single drop of vital blood detonating is equivalent to the Poison God's one strike in life.

When Jiang Chen extracted the Poison God's vital blood, the Sacred Giant Dragon simultaneously opened its eyes, sensing the law's aura.

A shock color appeared in its massive dragon eyes.

Then it saw a flash of green light, and a gap appeared in the Barrier it had laid.

Green vapor filled the gap, brimming with poison.

Jiang Chen, treating the poison as nothing, walked through the gap, and in two steps stepped into the palace gate.

Jiang Chen stood inside the palace gate, nodded toward Holy Light and said, "I have passed."

In an instant, Holy Light already appeared before him.

The speed was so fast that Jiang Chen couldn't see how it moved.

This made Jiang Chen become wary again; after all, the opponent was a Sacred Giant Dragon, an immensely powerful being.

He silently grasped Antares' Dragon Scale in his hand, ready to dodge at any sign of trouble.

Holy Light lowered its head, staring at Jiang Chen, its dragon eyes showing shock and confusion, "How did you do it?"

Before Jiang Chen could answer, Holy Light continued, "Never mind, you needn't answer; probing others' skills is impolite."

"Although you just used an external object, I have also said you may use any means."

"So this trial counts as you having passed."

"Now I give you two choices: one is to continue, the other is to take the reward and leave."

"I can tell you what this reward is. I can give you ten Soul Crystals, each containing pure soul power. They can help you raise your soul's tier, and also grant you abundant soul power."

"According to your level, each Soul Crystal can raise you about one tier."

"By raising your soul tier with the Soul Crystals, becoming Divine Level in the future will be many times easier."

Holy Light's words were full of temptation; as it said, Soul Crystals truly are good things.

Not only can they raise level, they can also enhance soul tier.

When the soul tier reaches a certain degree, becoming Divine Level will be much, much easier.

For ordinary practitioners, this is already a huge temptation.

But for Jiang Chen, the Soul Crystals are of little use.

His soul has already reached Divine Level, and with two Skill Star Cores already transferred into his soul, the path to godhood has long been cleared.

As long as his level rises, becoming a god is a matter of course.

As for boosting soul energy, for Jiang Chen it's equally easy.

As long as he has time, grinding Instances repeatedly, he can reach Divine Level in less than a year or two.

Jiang Chen is not in a hurry about this; he wants to solidify his foundation, for a firmer base will make future development broader.

Pushing growth unnaturally is undesirable; Jiang Chen's demands are not limited to just reaching Divine Level.

Jiang Chen said, "I choose to continue."

Holy Light asked in a deep voice, "Won't you reconsider?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "My mind is set."

Holy Light said no more; it raised its head and let out a dragon roar, which, as before, layered like waves and resonated throughout the Instance.

As the dragon roar sounded, the mist inside the palace gradually dispersed, revealing a passage paved with jade.

Holy Light said, "Follow the dragon jade forward, do not touch the mist on either side, otherwise you will die."

Jiang Chen nodded, and walked toward the interior of the palace.

After he entered the palace, the palace gate instantly closed.

At this moment, clouds and mist churned in the air, and Aili, Leylin and other giant dragons descended.

"Brother Holy Light, did he pass?" Aili looked at the now-closed palace gate, already knowing the answer, merely asking casually.

The other giant dragons were all surprised; they had come after hearing the dragon roar.

The palace gate remains open year‑round; if it ever closes, it indicates that someone has entered.

They normally never go inside; the only one who could enter is Jiang Chen.

Shengguang stepped back two paces, fully exposing the palace gate, and also revealing the deadly toxic aura in front of the gate.

A two‑person‑high green aura rolled freely, surrounded and shrouded by a mass of Light Element, preventing it from spreading.

Shengguang said, "Gevas, take a look."

Gevas immediately saw that the green aura contained deadly poison, and also a trace of law.

It inhaled deeply toward the poison, and the poison was instantly drawn into its body.

After a few seconds, Gevas said, "It's the deadly poison of a toxin‑type divine spirit, also containing a trace of law, roughly level 96."

"No wonder it could break through Shengguang brother's sacred Barrier; after all, brother can only inject a trace of law when controlling power."

"It's just strange how he managed to unleash the toxin‑type divine spirit's power."

Shengguang said, "He used the divine spirit's essence blood; he seems to have a Skill that can Amplify the power within the essence blood, which just now was equivalent to the divine spirit's full‑force strike."

"This Human Race individual is not simple."

Thunder Giant Dragon Lai Lin agreed, "Indeed not simple; he has 100% immunity to Electric Element."

Gevas said, "In that case, he may also be immune to toxin element."

Shengguang said, "He has also reached a 100% immune state to Light Element."

Ai Lielue was surprised, "In such a tiny world, how could such a terrifying genius be born?"

"Could he be the Child of the World?"

Shengguang gave no answer, "Who knows? All right, let's just complete the mission."

Gevas's aura suddenly shifted, "Someone else has entered the Dragon King Hall; one of my Clones has been activated."

Ai Li nodded, "I sensed it too; it's not from this world, and the entrant is not of the Human Race."

Shengguang flapped his wings, "Go, go, go do the work. Don't be lazy, or the Dragon God will impose punishment."

"Don't worry, when have any of us ever been lazy?"

The dragons flew back into the clouds and vanished.

Shengguang stared at the palace with its gate now tightly shut, "The final trial hasn't been passed by anyone for a long time; I wonder how you'll fare."

Then it gave a self‑deprecating laugh, "Whether you pass or not is none of my business!"

It began to swallow clouds and exhale mist again, the fog constantly shifting shape—first taking the form of an ordinary dragon, then the body elongated and enlarged, finally transforming completely.

If Jiang Chen were here, he would certainly recognize it at a glance; the final form is unmistakably that of a Huaxia Divine Dragon.

And Shengguang's current appearance is one of the stages in that transformation.

Perhaps after continual evolution, Shengguang will eventually become a Huaxia Divine Dragon.

Hope and yearning filled Shengguang's eyes.

The passage beneath his feet was entirely paved with white Jade.

This Jade emitted a peculiar aura, seemingly containing the power of law; Jiang Chen could sense the massive energy within.

According to Shengguang, this Jade is called Dragon Jade and must be extremely precious.

To pave the way with Dragon Jade, this palace is evidently very important.

Jiang Chen originally thought there would be another test, and he took the first step extremely cautiously.

After he gingerly placed his foot on the first step, the Dragon Jade gave no reaction at all.

Even after a few steps, the same occurred, and Jiang Chen felt a little relieved.

Nevertheless, he remained cautious and released a Skeleton Berserker ahead to clear the way.

The palace was extremely deep; after walking tens of thousands of meters, they finally saw a second building within the palace.
