Chapter 711: Garbage Must Have Its Own Awareness

Antares let out a roar, its roar tinged with terror.

The World Rune suddenly awakened, something it hadn't expected.

Yet terror remained terror, Antares still acted immediately: countless light specks lit up within Jiang Chen's body, each turning into the shape of a divine dragon, spreading across every corner of his body, interlinking like tangled roots to form a massive net.

All of this was Antares's arrangement.

During the time he coordinated with Jiang Chen, Antares had already prepared, precisely for an accident like the one happening now.

The net draws from Antares's power, saturated with extremely profound laws, intended to delay the World Rune's cursed power.

Stopping it is impossible; Antares knows this.

How terrifying the World Rune is, Antares knows well.

Within the Dragon Race, there are many legends about the World Rune, each utterly mysterious.

Many invincible elites of the Dragon Race vanished without a trace while seeking the World Rune, never to return.

Antares does not wish any contact with the World Rune, but for Jiang Chen… it gave its all.

It cannot stop it, only strives to delay, buying Jiang Chen more time.

The massive power, bearing the laws, formed a heavy defense that stood before the World Rune.

An unfathomable cursed force burst from the rune and collided with Antares's defensive net.

The net instantly shattered and collapsed like tofu.

Antares truly witnessed for the first time the power emanating from the World Rune, the most primal force in the world, coveted by everyone.

It has finally made contact, but only as an enemy

in a hostile manner, and it doesn't know whether to rejoice or lament.

Antares let out a series of low grunts.

The net was built with its Soul Energy bearing the laws; its collapse also shakes Antares's soul.

Though not injured, it still feels unpleasant.

A wild look flashed in Antares's eyes, "I won't believe it. Even if you're that powerful, how could I fail to even delay?"

Antares roared repeatedly, letting out a howl as a massive surge of Soul Energy poured in.

It deployed nearly half of its Soul Energy; at its level, that half could be many times Jiang Chen's.

Because of Jiang Chen's completely renewed talent, Antares need not worry about Jiang Chen's safety.

Its Soul Energy, bearing terrifying laws, surged forward in a massive charge. Like a needle's tip against a wheat awn, it truly collided with the World Rune. Antares is not adept at defense; offense is its forte.

Dragon Soul, wrapped with laws, formed countless blades, counterattacking the World Rune's cursed power.

The two collided, the massive force spreading uncontrollably. A muffled thud echoed from Jiang Chen's body; the terrifying power wounded him.

The Undead Legion perished instantly.

Antares's power was shattered the instant of collision, the World Rune's curse like an indestructible long spear piercing Antares's assault.

At this moment Antares was no longer afraid; it was even crazier, laughing wildly, "Ha ha, I still slowed you down a bit; looks like you're not invincible either!"

Antares's laughter was utterly mad; it had just collided with the World Rune's power, although

it suffered a great defeat, it still caused the opponent to pause briefly.

The pause might have been less than 0.1 seconds, yet Antares truly felt it.

If it can pause 0.1 seconds, it might pause 0.2, 0.3, or even longer.

Amid its laughter, Antares once again mustered power and charged forward. The invisible force used Jiang Chen's body as a battlefield, engaging in fierce combat. Jiang Chen, unaware, felt nothing about what transpired outside the Skill Space.

It was fully activating three Skill Star Cores.

Activating three Skill Star Cores simultaneously placed considerable pressure.

Yet he had no time to waste; it had to be done this way.

Fortunately, preparations were ample, and Soul Energy was extremely abundant.

The three Skill Star Cores grew brighter, beginning to radiate light.

At this rate, they would be fully activated soon.

Lawful power streamed in from outside, entering the Skill Space and merging into the Skill Star Cores.

The Skill Star Cores began to gain vitality.

The incoming lawful power grew ever stronger, surpassing any previous instance.

Jiang Chen knew these three skills would be formidable.

Otherwise the curse power brought by the World Rune wouldn't be stopped. He just didn't know what his Level 80 skill would be like. Jiang Chen was full of anticipation,

The laws of heaven and earth kept flowing in, as did Soul Energy.

Dragon Soul Crystals were consumed one after another,

Suddenly, Jiang Chen found his Clone reconnected with his original body.

"Not good!"

Jiang Chen realized his original self had awakened for some reason.

With his original self awake, the World Rune would inevitably awaken too, leaving little time left for him.

Jiang Chen let out a light shout, continuously stirring Soul Energy, rushing

into the Skill Star Core.

He accelerated, his heart burning with urgency……

Meanwhile outside, Antares repeatedly clashed with the World Rune, colliding over and over.

It has gone berserk, terrifying energy sweeping the entire Ancient Battlefield. It has spread to the Lower Space and even parts into the Deep Space.

A roar erupted from the Deep Space, laced with anger and bloodlust. At that moment, monster bosses in both Upper Space and Lower Space trembled in fear.

The monsters that had been battling the Human Race suddenly shrank back, unwilling to move.

Human Professionals, Dragon Race and Demons also felt a massive power descending from the heavens, falling onto them.

The air grew thick, each breath became extremely difficult. The mist around Antares churned nonstop, revealing a massive dragon body. A colossal dragon body longer than ten thousand meters sprawled across the earth, its Dragon Scales standing upright.

A vortex appeared atop its head, the vortex connected to Deep Space, and a roar emanated from within.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if a terrifying presence could burst through.

"Shut up!"

Antares roared, "This matter here is not for you, you stinky bug, to meddle with!"

Two beams of golden light shot from its dragon eyes, dispersing the vortex.

As the vortex collapsed, a wail seemed to rise from within,

Antares, with disdain, "You think you can meddle in my business? Trash must have the awareness of trash!"

"Come, come, let's battle for three hundred rounds again!"

Its roar surged, battle spirit ignited, and it once again plunged into Jiang Chen's soul world. The Curse power of the Great World Rune kept advancing, and Antares could only stall, unable to stop it.

Antares knew that

the limit of what it could achieve was only this. Antares gave its all, yet it only delayed by less than one second.

Seeing the Curse power about to enter the Skill space, another purple light shot from deep within the soul.

It moved at lightning speed, flew into Jiang Chen's soul, and struck the Great World Rune with perfect accuracy.

The Great World Rune trembled violently, and with a booming sound it ignited.

The Curse power that had already reached the Skill space halted instantly. The Great World Rune shimmered, extinguishing the Flame.

Thus another full second passed.

A single spark proved more useful than Antares's effort.

An unusual aura rose from Jiang Chen, and above the soul an abnormal light suddenly radiated.

Antares, being the first to sense it, couldn't help but burst into laughter, "It's done, it's done!"

"I've won, looks like the Great World Rune isn't all‑powerful after all!"
