Chapter 754: The Outcome Was Predestined from the Start

Bone Armor suddenly materialized with Jiang Chen's will.

Jiang Chen tried to lock onto the opponent with a soul lock, but the formation blocked it, causing the lock to fail.

But the opponent could lock onto him, clearly it was possible; his own soul was simply not strong enough.

Since that's the case, let the technique handle the lock itself.

Three-star Technique: 【Bone Armor】

The techniques are linked; whenever he is attacked, the other two techniques automatically trigger and lock onto the enemy.

The Stone Elemental Law fell upon him again, and the Bone Armor shattered in response.

It doesn't have an 8,100‑fold damage reduction; Bone Armor can at most block a level‑95 attack.

Against a Super‑Divine Level attack, it is naturally useless. What Jiang Chen seeks is not its defense but the automatic counter‑attack granted by the Three-star Technique.

At the instant the Bone Armor broke, Spiritual Power was rapidly consumed.

Level 84, a full 3.7 million Spiritual Power drained instantly.

But in less than 0.1 second, it was instantly replenished. Full linkage activated, and the Spiritual Power of every Undead Legion member became Jiang Chen's Spiritual Power reservoir.

Use it however he wishes.

With Spiritual Power spent, Jiang Chen knew the Three-star Technique must have triggered a counter‑attack.

Moreover, it sensed a trace of law that pierced the void from his own body, traveled along the formation's projection, and located the target.

The formation's projection flared up suddenly, and the Stone Elemental Giant Dragon at the other end let out a startled cry.

No guessing needed, it's the Three-star Technique's linked Hedgehog.

Antares was absolutely correct.

His attack couldn't wound the opponent, but at least it could make the opponent feel disgusted.

Sure enough, the Stone Elemental Giant Dragon in the projection showed an angry expression.

Its gaze was as uncomfortable as if it had eaten a lump of dung.

"Multi-star Technique."

Its insight was incomparable to Long Huang; at a glance it recognized this as the Multi-star Technique.

If it weren't for the Multi-star Technique, Jiang Chen couldn't have struck it.

As the sound rang out, his attack finally ceased.

Bone Armor no longer received attacks, nor did it counterattack.

Long Huang had never heard of the Multi-star Technique and didn't understand what had happened.

In its eyes, its own Upper Layer, the Stone Elemental Giant Dragon, suddenly stopped attacking. "Lord!"

Long Huang watched more and more Dragon Race being slaughtered, his heart burning with anxiety.

"Shut up!"

The Stone Elemental Giant Dragon let out a deep roar, frightening Long Huang into silence.

At that moment the formation's projection expanded severalfold, and the elemental dragon seemed to emerge from the human forest formation.

Jiang Chen's gaze tightened slightly; was this guy about to come over?

Then it saw a massive claw reaching out from the formation; as soon as the claw left the formation, the surrounding space thundered and collapsed, revealing a pitch‑black, profound void.

In the void, streams of Energy Turbulence swirled. Its power was too great; the fragmentary space could not endure.

A single claw arriving already caused the space to collapse.

If its true form entered here, the entire fragment space would likely collapse. Fortunately, it knew this; its true form did not come, only a claw did.

Jiang Chen felt himself locked onto, and a sense of danger rose instinctively.

That claw could kill him!

Jiang Chen trusted his feeling completely; it could not be wrong.

The Undead Wing vibrated behind him, ready at any moment to sever the soul lock.

At that moment a dragon roar echoed through the void, "Get back!"

Antares's voice, imbued with a towering aura, descended from the sky across space.

The giant claw that had just reached out trembled violently and recoiled at astonishing speed.

It shrank back as fast as a thief caught in the act, retreating at maximum speed.

"Lord!"

Long Huang was stunned, bewildered by what had happened. He recognized that voice—it came from the most mysterious entity in the Ancient Battlefield. It was a suppression formed by the higher‑rank Dragon Race, hard to resist.

The two sides differed vastly in tier and strength.

The Stone Elemental Giant Dragon trembled and replied, "Yes!" The formation vanished, and the Dragon Axe completely dimmed. Long Huang was stunned, standing dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

It stared blankly, clutching the Dragon Axe, its whole body trembling.

Even if it were foolish, at this moment it understood one thing.

This invasion was doomed to fail from the start.

With Antares present, no matter how weak the Human Race is, the final outcome will not change.

It didn't know why Antares was here.

Why does it have to come here to die!

Antares seemed to have arrived long ago; when it had just become Long Huang, it received a warning from Antares. At that time, it learned that there was an entity in this world it could not contend with.

But Antares also told it that as long as it did not go to the Human World, Antares would not intervene.

In fact, it should have realized then that Antares was protecting the Human Race, waiting for it to rise and eliminate itself.

It has always been a stepping stone for the Human Race; not only itself, but all Dragon Race, and this fragment world as well.

Why so stupid, why didn't it understand from the beginning?

Long Huang's frustration has become useless by now. It stared blankly at the sky, "Lord, do I still have another path to take?"

These words were spoken to Antares; it knew Antares could hear.

It wants to live, not to die.

The extinction of the Dragon Race has already been ordained, and this fragment world cannot escape the fate of being Devoured. The Dragon Race has become Jiang Chen's stepping stone. So at the final moment, it abandoned the Dragon Race, seeking only a sliver of hope for itself.

A few seconds later, Antares's voice finally sounded, "I'll give you a chance."

"Help me go to Deep Space to find something. If you can bring it back, I will spare your life and usher you into the Great World."

A beam of light fell from the sky, piercing Long Huang's forehead.

Long Huang immediately knew which word it needed to seek.

It has gone to Deep Space many times; although dangerous, there is always a way to survive.

If it stays here, death is inevitably its destined end.

For survival, Long Huang finally decided to gamble in Deep Space.

"Lord, I'm going to Deep Space," it said, then turned and left. The background appeared somewhat desolate.
