Chapter 674: With me here, no one can touch you!

Antares sent Jiang Chen to the Lower Space, and this time it delivered him with pinpoint accuracy, directly to the outskirts of the Shenlong Ancient City.

Antares knew that with Jiang Chen's intelligence, as long as he calmed down, he would surely think of a way; it didn't need to remind him.

In terms of wisdom, even if Antares was unwilling to admit it, the fact was that Jiang Chen's way of thinking about problems surpassed its own.

Any solution it could think of, Jiang Chen could definitely think of too.

However, the difficulty was indeed considerable.

Antares watched Jiang Chen leave, a cruel light flashing in its eyes. "You little brat, rest assured, with me around, no one can touch you."

……

The Eternal Great Wall activated, the fortresses of the Primordial Battlefield linked into a whole, the Shenlong Empire allowed entry but no exit, the entire nation was sealed off, and every city activated its defensive formations.

The same was true in the Shenlong Ancient City; the defensive formation had already been activated.

Jiang Chen flew into the Shenlong Ancient City like lightning. He had gained preliminary recognition from the Ancient Thunder Tower and possessed the imprint of the Shenlong Ancient City, so the city's formation directly let him through without stopping him.

The Guard Soldiers saw Jiang Chen, and also saw the Military Badge on his shoulder.

This time, Jiang Chen was very conspicuous; he deliberately activated the Military Badge.

The Five-Star Divine General Badge on his shoulder burst with dazzling purple light, and the Guard Soldiers were all shocked by the purple light; no one dared to stop Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's arrival also stirred Legion Leader Feng Yiming, who hurried over.

With Jiang Chen's arrival, the Ancient Thunder Tower also rose from the ground with a rumble. By the time Feng Yiming arrived, Jiang Chen had already slipped into the Ancient Thunder Tower.

Feng Yiming's face was full of anxiety. He knew something must have happened. In a brief glance, he saw Jiang Chen's expression, and then an alarm from the assessment competition sounded just as Jiang Chen entered the Ancient Thunder Tower.

In less than a minute, the defensive formation was activated.

All the Guard Soldiers simultaneously became tense, as two patches of dark clouds flew over from the distance, pressing down heavily.

One patch was a Legion of the Dragon Race, and the other was a Demon Legion!

The allied forces of the Dragon Race and Demons advanced together toward the Shenlong Ancient City. A Divine Level aura emanated from within the Legions; the Dragon King and the Demon King had also arrived.

Feng Yiming's face changed drastically. He immediately pushed the formation to its maximum, issuing orders one after another, and the entire Shenlong Ancient City instantly entered a state of war.

Inside the Ancient Thunder Inner Tower, Jiang Chen went straight to the core.

A flash of light appeared in his palm, and the Ancient Thunder Outer Tower materialized in his hand.

As soon as the Ancient Thunder Outer Tower appeared, it immediately resonated with the Inner Tower Core. The lightning of the Inner Tower Core surged violently, instantly enveloping Jiang Chen and the Outer Tower together.

The Ancient Thunder Outer Tower could be seen as a remote control for the Inner Tower Core; through the Outer Tower, one could control the Inner Tower Core.

And the Ancient Thunder Inner Tower could in turn control the entire God-Slaying Fortress.

Therefore, as long as he could connect the Outer Tower to the Inner Tower Core, Jiang Chen could achieve the goal of controlling the Inner Tower Core by manipulating the Outer Tower.

With Jiang Chen's current ability, he was far from reaching the level of controlling the entire God-Slaying Fortress.

Antares had said that even though the God-Slaying Fortress was now severely damaged, it would still be enough to drain Jiang Chen dry.

Jiang Chen didn't have such delusions either; he only wanted to borrow a portion of the God-Slaying Fortress's power.

In the past, when he was still weak, he had borrowed the power of the Ancient Thunder Tower to unleash the God-Slaying Thunder Selection and clash with Demon Sovereign's finger from afar.

Now he was incomparably stronger than he was back then, and his soul had also reached the Divine Level. If he could borrow the power of the God-Slaying Fortress, perhaps he might have a chance to clash with the Demon Emperor.

Perhaps he still wouldn't be a match for the Demon Emperor, but at least he could hold on for a while.

And look for an opportunity.

This was also the only solution Jiang Chen could think of.

The core of the Ancient Thunder Inner Tower continuously resonated with the Outer Tower, the lightning surging.

Relying on his immunity to the Electric Element, Jiang Chen tried to connect the two.

Amidst the lightning, Jiang Chen discovered that his soul imprint on the Outer Tower was being worn away.

The connection between himself and the Ancient Thunder Outer Tower was rapidly weakening.

Jiang Chen's Soul Energy surged violently, madly rushing toward the Ancient Thunder Outer Tower; he had to maintain this connection.

He had obtained the Outer Tower not long ago, and the soul imprint he had planted was not very deep either.

If the soul imprint were erased, then all his efforts would be wasted, futile.

He could only go into the Abyss to fight the Demon Emperor to the death, and the result would inevitably be certain death. Jiang Chen's soul began to riot, using the most brutal means to strengthen the soul imprint.

Before, it had always been a slow, steady process, gently nurturing it.

Now it was directly like a giant wave crashing against the shore, as if carving the imprint in with a blade. The lightning grew stronger and stronger, and the rate at which it wore away the imprint also accelerated.

Jiang Chen knew this was a trial, an assessment from the core of the Ancient Thunder Inner Tower. If he couldn't endure it, it meant he was unqualified to gain its recognition, let alone hope to borrow its power.

Even the imprint from his previous preliminary recognition would be erased.

Jiang Chen was truly giving it his all, not just for himself, but also for Li Xueru and the others.

This was the only chance.

Soul Energy was being consumed rapidly. Although Jiang Chen's soul level had already reached Level 92, even approaching Level 93.

His Soul Energy was still at the Level 76 stage.

He was like a large bucket; the bucket was already made, but the water inside it wasn't enough yet.

Even with a Divine Power recovery rate of 76 times.

It wasn't enough for him to squander like this.

Soul Energy grew less and less; the water in the bucket was constantly being consumed, with no time to recover.

The Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal continuously spewed dragon breath, which supplemented the consumption as Soul Energy.

But it still wasn't enough.

The Dragon Race's things were too gentle.

Watching the imprint grow fainter and fainter, and his own Soul Energy dwindle, Jiang Chen's heart was filled with extreme anxiety.

Fight to the death!

"Go all out!"

Jiang Chen had an idea flash through his mind, and at the same time he roared inside his heart, his soul roaring as well.

The Nine‑colored Dragon Soul Crystal seemed to sense Jiang Chen's urgency, and the soul power it emitted was a bit more than usual—exactly double.

But even so, it was still not enough!

Jiang Chen roared, "More—spray a little more!"

A blaze appeared.

A spark flew out of the Domain Godstone; it was charming blue fire.

The charming blue fire continuously stimulated Jiang Chen's soul, enhancing his soul tier.

As his soul tier rose higher, its effect grew weaker, especially after acquiring the Nine‑colored Dragon Soul Crystal, its presence almost vanished.

Today, it appeared again.

A full charming blue fire shot out of the Domain Godstone; without the charming blue fire, the Domain Godstone instantly dimmed, reverting to its original state, with only black killing aura constantly surging inside.

The charming blue fire entered his soul, and his soul instantly felt a searing sting. Jiang Chen couldn't help but let out a muffled hum, then the charming blue fire burst open, turning into pure soul power.

The soul power, which had nearly been exhausted, became full again, and Jiang Chen rejoiced; compared with the replenished soul power, that little pain meant nothing.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Chen thanked the Domain Godstone.

After obtaining the Domain Godstone,

Jiang Chen only knew it could Absorb killing aura, but he found no other use for it.

However, in the Instance of the Godstone, it actively appeared, Absorbing the charming blue fire, which also surprised the Stone Spirit.

Later he asked Antares and received a confirming answer.

The Domain Godstone's tier is extremely high, surpassing even Mythological Class.

Only Jiang Chen at this point still lacked the ability to mobilize it.

Unexpectedly, this time it helped him.

Jiang Chen was like a general who had just been replenished, once again commanding his troops, beginning a Charge.

The soul imprint deepened again, and for Jiang Chen, without counting the cost, it even surpassed the previous level.

Suddenly, the lightning changed; a streak of purple appeared within the blue lightning.

Jiang Chen felt a tingling run through his whole body, and his soul simultaneously received a sharp pain.
