Chapter 614: The Mystery of Power, Jiang Chen's New Insight

The Windflowers are dead, but the Blood Moon remains.

Jiang Chen rides atop the Blood Moon.

Seen from the ground, the Blood Moon is immense, like a real bright moon.

No matter where one stands on the Wind and Thunder Continent, the Blood Moon can be seen clearly.

But only when Jiang Chen approaches does one truly see that the Blood Moon is merely a palm‑sized disc.

The disc has absorbed a great amount of soul energy, projecting the appearance of a Blood Moon.

When it lacks infused power, it is just a transparent jade plate.

Now that the Windflower boss is dead, the Blood Moon is also gradually fading.

The light on the disc is swiftly receding, restoring its original form.

Jiang Chen holds it in his hand and feels the law‑like power within.

The Detection Technique flies out and lands upon it.

"Blood God Disc: Mythological Class Weapon, the weapon of the Blood‑devouring God."

Jiang Chen is astonished; he did not expect it to be a Mythological Class weapon, let alone the weapon of the Blood‑devouring God.

The Blood‑devouring God is not very famous, less renowned than several elemental deities.

But that does not mean it is weak.

Its existence is somewhat unfamiliar to ordinary people, yet it is no secret to the royal family.

Jiang Chen once saw information about the Blood‑devouring God in the Secret Treasury.

It is a high‑rank deity, on the same level as the God of Life.

It is said to have birthed sentient spirit from a pool of fresh blood, eventually becoming a deity.

The records also state that the Blood‑devouring God possesses the ability to devour everything, never dying nor perishing.

Indeed, its weapon also displays devouring power, capable of consuming both attacks and life.

But can it truly be immortal?

Even its weapon is gone; needless to say, the Blood‑devouring God must be dead.

As for why it died, Jiang Chen does not know; it may require tracing back to the previous era or even further.

Anyway, so many deities have already perished; losing one more makes no difference.

Regarding the cause, Jiang Chen once wanted to know, but now he has let it go.

What good is knowing, anyway?

As Antares said, when one's strength reaches the point, what should be known will naturally be known.

Jiang Chen is more concerned with how to use this Mythological Class weapon.

He certainly cannot wield it himself, but he can give it to Li Xueru and the others.

"Hong Shen and Ao God fight in such a violent, direct manner; it seems not very suitable for this weapon,"

"The Scholar God is more fitting; bring it back to him."

The three teachers are deeply indebted to Jiang Chen, so when he has good items he naturally thinks of them.

After Jiang Chen puts away the Blood God Disc, the Blood Moon in the sky vanishes completely.

Future Windflowers that are born will no longer possess this ability.

At this moment Jiang Chen is certain that the group of Windflowers he eliminated was the largest of its kind on the Wind and Thunder Continent.

The reason this group of Windflowers was so powerful is precisely the Blood God Disc.

"The Windflowers are so strong because of the Blood God Disc; what about the Thunder Tree clusters?"

Jiang Chen's mind stirs, and he turns his gaze toward the center of the Wind and Thunder Continent.

There lies the largest Thunder Tree cluster on the Wind and Thunder Continent.

A mountain range stretching thousands of li, filled with countless Thunder Trees.

Enthusiasts once tallied that at least a million Thunder Trees live within it.

The Thunder Tree cluster is larger in scale than the Windflower group.

"A million."

Jiang Chen suddenly realizes something and quickly checks his own experience.

"98% now."

His experience has astonishingly reached Level 72 at 98%, only 2% short of upgrading to Level 73.

Destroying the Windflower group almost pushed him from Level 72 to Level 73.

If anyone now claims that grinding monsters outdoors levels slower than running instances,

Jiang Chen would certainly slap them awake, saying that to level quickly one can simply come here and farm the Windflower group.

Gaining a level in half a day is no dream, provided one can defeat them.

When he previously slaughtered the Windflower group, Jiang Chen only deployed the Undead Legion; he did not personally strike.

Otherwise efficiency could have increased dramatically.

"As long as there are enough monsters, my leveling speed can increase without bound!"

Jiang Chen knows he has found a shortcut to rapid leveling.

Suppressing his excitement, he first examined his loot.

Killing ordinary Windflowers yielded countless materials of all sizes.

Fortunately, storage space grows with character level; had he been at Level 40, it would already be full.

The Windflower boss dropped two Mythological Class materials, the Windflower Heart and Windflower Essence, usable to craft or upgrade Mythic‑level equipment.

To him, those two items are of little use.

But Windflower seeds require a Divine-level Plant Cultivator to nurture them, and as far as he knows, there is no Divine-level Plant Cultivator among the Human Race.

Useful or not, Jiang Chen gathered the items.

Perhaps he'll need them sometime in the future.

After checking the attributes, Jiang Chen flew toward the center of the Wind and Thunder Continent.

The full moon vanished, and the entire Wind and Thunder seemed to be immersed in sorrow.

Countless Windflowers on the continent wailed; their king had been slain.

The aura of grief spread through the sound of souls; many could not hear the soul‑sound, yet could feel the sorrow within it.

Jiang Chen heard the sound and knew the Windflowers were weeping.

"Weakness is the original sin; when the Human Race was slaughtered by Demons, crying again is useless."

"Therefore we must become stronger, keep getting stronger!"

Jiang Chen clenched his fist and said to himself again.

That is how all things in the world operate: the weak perish, the strong survive.

Even someone as powerful as Antares was tossed here, one could even say he lost his freedom.

Antares harbored hatred, grudges, and murderous intent.

When it sees the Dragon God, what can it do? It still has to call out "Dragon God, sir!" and hide its own hatred.

Jiang Chen didn't want that.

He thought others should endure such pain, but he should not.

After Jiang Chen left, many people arrived at his former location.

There were Demons, Dragon Race members, and Human Race folk.

The three factions gathered, keeping mutual vigilance.

A great many arrived; the Three-way Stalemate kept each other in check, surprisingly maintaining considerable peace, and no one made a move.

Everyone could sense the lingering aura of the previous great war.

"This is a Divine-level tier battle."

"I just saw a Windflower Blood Moon, and it was Divine-level—so terrifying."

"It seems a Divine-level Strongman deliberately came to slay the Windflower flock."

"What exactly is this Divine-level Strongman's background? Is he from our Human Race?"

A group of people speculated, while Jiang Chen finished and left without staying.

No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure it out.

The three sides' troops faced each other for a long time, then each withdrew.

Races that would have fought to the death upon meeting now, because of the third‑party race's appearance, maintain the appropriate checks.

No one wants a clams‑and‑snipe conflict, lest the fisherman profit.

Jiang Chen, unaware of what was happening, raced at top speed toward the Thunder and Lightning Mountains of the Wind and Thunder Continent.

After flying for about half an hour, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped.

A group of Dragon War Generals blocked his path.

There were over a hundred Dragon War Generals, the highest level being 85, the lowest no less than 75, and they were accompanied by a warship.

Jiang Chen didn't find it strange that the Dragon Race would track him down.

He carried a strong Dragon Race aura; not long ago he had slain thirteen Dragon Kings, making the aura even more striking.

Even hundreds of li away, the Dragon Race could sense it.

When they saw Jiang Chen, the Dragon War Generals' faces showed both ferocity and hesitation.

Jiang Chen's aura was so intense that, to them, it rose like billowing smoke soaring into the sky.

They had never seen anything like it, unable to imagine how many Dragon Race beings Jiang Chen had killed.

They felt their advance was overly reckless, fearing they might become Jiang Chen's dead dragons.

Jiang Chen quickly gave them an answer.

Jiang Chen didn't linger at all; a Headless Knight charged out in a killing spree.

The charge skill activated, and the Headless Knight surged forward like lightning, instantly breaking through the Dragon Race formation.

The warship was smashed to pieces by the Headless Knight, disintegrating in midair.

In terror, the Dragon War Generals were slain on the spot by the Headless Knight; only the Level‑85 Dragon War General managed a symbolic two‑strike counter.

As for the other Dragon War Generals, they couldn't even perform the most basic counterattack.

Jiang Chen flew past without stopping, "I almost forgot, this is Dragon Race territory."

"I wonder what happened to that side's Secret Realm of the Dragon Race, whether the toxic gas has cleared; after eradicating the Wind and Thunder Tree Cluster, I'll go back and check."

The last Secret Realm's derived blood pool remains fresh in Jiang Chen's memory.

Although he can only replicate Level‑70 Dragon War Generals, no matter how many, they pose no threat to him.

But for other practitioners, it would be quite dangerous.

If war were to break out, it could cause considerable casualties.

Jiang Chen plans to go back for a look; if possible, he'll destroy the derived blood pool.
