Chapter 619: Confidence Solidified, Strength Is the Hard Truth

Danger!

Danger!

Danger!

The soul kept sending warnings.

A terrifying aura rose, reaching Divine Level from just waking in less than half a second.

Half a second later, the aura broke through Divine Level.

But this was not the end.

Level 91! Level 92!

It kept rising.

Jiang Chen was utterly shocked; there truly was such a powerful presence still hidden.

The aura was strong and ancient, as if refined over countless ages.

The mountain rang, a blue beam shot up from underground, exploded in the air, then turned into lightning that struck the King of Thunder Trees.

The deadly poison was quickly dispersed, and a trace of law within it dissolved as well.

The King of Thunder Trees emitted a joyful tone through the soul's sound; it was rescued.

Jiang Chen's expression changed; being able to dissolve law meant the other was also an entity that touched law.

Moreover, judging from its aura, even if it hadn't reached Level 96, it was at the Level 95 peak, having touched law.

"How can such a being exist in Lower Space!"

"It's too unreasonable."

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky; a Thunder Sea instantly formed, sweeping the entire mountain range.

Lightning fell densely, the ground thundered, and the Lightning Mountain Range kept shaking.

A flash happened to strike a Headless Knight, who silently turned to ash and instantly returned to the Summon Queue.

The other Headless Knights were unaffected.

This shows the lightning's attack power far exceeds the Headless Knight's acknowledged limit, possessing enough force to kill it in an instant.

Jiang Chen's heart pounded; he wanted to leave, yet curiosity made him want to see what kind of being it truly was.

Relying on his immunity to lightning, Jiang Chen, after pondering, still decided to watch further.

He had already activated the Divine Dragon Ancient City seal and could return to the Divine Dragon Ancient City at any time.

At the same time, Antares' Dragon Scale was ready, and if needed he could return to Antares' territory.

This space was not sealed, and Jiang Chen felt his safety should not be an issue.

Moreover, since this BOSS slept here for such a long age, it must have limits and cannot act recklessly.

The mountain range moved, not just trembled, but the whole range rose.

The mountain range, over a thousand li long, suddenly lifted to a height.

It seemed a giant below lifted the entire range.

Then Jiang Chen saw a massive claw.

Jiang Chen's shocked gaze was indescribable, more startling than when he first saw Antares.

The claw had six fingers; even the palm alone spanned dozens of kilometers, and with the six fingers exceeded a hundred kilometers.

Jiang Chen watched it crush a mountain peak with his own eyes.

Lightning flickered on the claw, then a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking Jiang Chen with perfect accuracy.

Jiang Chen felt a tingle as a massive force surged into his body.

The Undead Legion collapsed en masse.

Jiang Chen was greatly surprised; he had been wounded by Electric Element.

If he hadn't been hurt, the Undead Legion could not have collapsed.

But he was clearly immune to Electric Element—why did this happen!

"Could it be law!"

Jiang Chen was startled and thought of the only possibility.

Electric Element was still Electric Element, just with a trace of law added.

Another bolt of lightning fell, moving too fast for Jiang Chen to dodge.

His whole body tingled again, and the Undead Legion in the Summon Queue collapsed once more.

At this moment Jiang Chen saw the massive claw move, slashing toward him.

Before the claw arrived, fierce gale wind already forced him to retreat.

Black cracks appeared in the space where the claw swept.

Jiang Chen acted without hesitation, directly activating the Divine Dragon Ancient City seal and vanished instantly on the spot.

The claw struck empty air, and startling thunder crackled overhead.

A pair of eyes appeared beneath the mountain range.

It was just this pair of eyes, with lightning flickering within them.

Moments later, the eyes closed again, the mountain range sank, and the claw retreated underground.

The Thunder Sea in the sky sank underground, and lightning flashed across the ground.

Vast Thunder Trees alternated between withering and thriving; the previously slain Thunder Trees all withered away, turning to ash with not a trace left.

Then new seedlings sprouted, radiating vitality.

Within the lightning lay destructive power yet brimming with life.

The King of Thunder Trees swayed continuously, its wounds already healed.

Thick, long roots spread across the entire mountain range, constantly loosening soil and shifting earth.

In this way, before long, the Lightning Mountain Range would be able to restore its former appearance.

Divine Dragon Ancient City, Jiang Chen appeared abruptly in the plaza.

His appearance was silent and without a trace, startling no one.

By his ears came the sounds of conversations and footsteps.

He sensed the familiar aura of the Human Race.

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

"I never thought such an existence would be in the Lower Space."

"It even tore through space—its strength is already very close to Divine Power Level 6."

"Its control over Lightning is so powerful, I'm afraid it's no weaker than the Lightning God of yesteryear."

"What exactly is its identity? It seems the Lightning Tree is merely its servant, or perhaps its subordinate."

"I'm truly curious."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, and at the same time, what he was even more curious about was why the other party's Lightning could ignore his own immunity.

Was it really because of the laws?

Jiang Chen discovered that the higher his level became, the more strange things he seemed to encounter.

Things that exceeded his imagination kept appearing.

Jiang Chen didn't dwell on this issue; he would just ask Antares when he had the chance. Racking his brains over it would only yield guesses, not a definite answer.

Divine Dragon Ancient City was still bustling, with people coming and going.

It had to be said that only the Human Race could possess an ancient city in the Lower Space.

Legend said that a Transcendent God changed the laws of this land, making it possible to build a city on it.

Jiang Chen, however, knew that wasn't the case.

Divine Dragon Ancient City fell from the sky, and it was because of its existence that the laws of this region were altered.

There was no Transcendent God at all.

The origins of Divine Dragon Ancient City were a mystery, but Jiang Chen was clear that its origins were definitely extraordinary.

At the very least, it wasn't a product of their era, and it had a great connection to the Human Race.

When Divine Dragon Ancient City first descended, both Demons and the Dragon Race had come.

In the end, none of them succeeded in settling in.

It wasn't until a Divine Dragon People succeeded that it was named Divine Dragon Ancient City.

As for where Divine Dragon Ancient City truly came from, he didn't know—perhaps one day in the future he would figure it out.

Jiang Chen didn't linger long in the ancient city.

He left the city and headed for the cliff outside it, where there were some Teleportation Arrays that could take him to the Wild Continent.

One of the Teleportation Arrays belonged to the Blue Leaf Guild, and Jiang Chen was registered on it, giving him the right to use it.

He would first go to the Wild Continent, then travel northwest all the way to the Meteorite Continent.

This leveling plan had failed, and Jiang Chen was helpless about it.

His experience was now stuck at 73rd level at 80%, still a bit short of 74th level.

If he could find a suitable group of monsters along the way, he might be able to complete the level-up before reaching the Meteorite Continent.

Jiang Chen activated the Teleportation Array, and after several tens of seconds of teleportation, he crossed the Azure Dragon Sea and arrived at the Wild Continent.

Jiang Chen had also thought about taking a look in the Azure Dragon Sea, to see what exactly lay beneath the ice of the Green Green Grassland.

But after thinking it over, he gave up.

After all, he had no experience going into the sea, and he also had matters to attend to now.

Perhaps if he had the chance in the future, he could go and explore.

After arriving at the Wild Continent, Jiang Chen saw the Blue Leaf Guild's stronghold.

He didn't sense Huo Lieyang's aura, and knowing that Huo Lieyang wasn't there, Jiang Chen didn't go to say hello.

Back then, Huo Lieyang had said he might return to the Human World, and perhaps he had already gone back.

Jiang Chen spread his Lightning Nether Spirit Wings and sped off toward the northwest.

The first place he entered was the Green Green Grassland. The Sword Grass on the Green Green Grassland was still fresh in his memory, and now revisiting the old place, he noticed its difference.

On the Green Green Grassland, he sensed a faint trace of laws—very faint, but truly present.

This thread of law was like a huge net, covering every corner of the Green Green Grassland.

It was because of this law that the Sword Grass on the Green Green Grassland had the ability to reflect damage.

"Laws, laws again!"

"Many things I don't understand are related to laws."

Jiang Chen found it strange—everything he found puzzling seemed to involve the existence of laws.

Laws indicated a connection to at least a peak Divine Power Level 5 powerhouse, or even a powerhouse above Divine Power Level 6.

Only they were qualified to come into contact with and wield laws.

He currently didn't have the qualifications to explore them.

If the gap between ordinary Professionals and Divine-level Professionals was a huge hurdle,

then whether one could wield laws was the second threshold.

Each threshold was a world of difference; once crossed, it opened up another vast expanse.

Jiang Chen pondered himself as he flew, "Strictly speaking, I haven't even crossed the first threshold yet."

"I mustn't be fooled by my own combat power—everything still depends on myself."

"Only when you yourself become stronger is it true strength; everything else is an illusion."

"Do not rely on external things."

"It's very hard, but it must be done!"

Jiang Chen clenched his fist, firming his resolve!

In any matter, only when your fist grows bigger and harder do you have the right!
