Chapter 3320: Obtaining the Inner Core
However, when the three rulers looked towards Jian Chen, their faces immediately sank. All they saw was Jian Chen seated on the same mountain several thousand kilometres away without a ripple of energy. He seemed like he had absolutely no intentions of taking action.
“Is he toying with us?” the Jade Heaven Ruler thought. She was a female expert and did not seem particularly old. She possessed alluring beauty, but at this moment, a cold light flashed through her beautiful, slender eyes.
“Hmph, if this person is toying with us, I’ll be the last to spare him.” The Blood Slaughter Ruler’s heart became filled with anger. The Demonic Dragon Ruler regenerated very quickly. After destroying its first head, there were only fifteen seconds to kill it for good.
Once this time elapsed and its first head had regrown, all of their efforts would go to waste.
“Hahahaha, I’ve already returned to my peak condition. Jade Heaven, Blood Slaughter, Heaven Fighting, you don’t have a lot of pills left on you, do you? I’d like to see how much longer you last.”
“Though, I can tell you that you better keep me busy here forever. Otherwise, once you retreat, I will lead my children across the vast ocean to trample your dry land. I will make your domains flow with blood.” The Demonic Dragon Ruler laughed loudly. Its head that had just been shattered by the three rulers was regrowing at a visible rate.
The expressions of the three rulers changed immediately when they heard that. If all the spiritual beasts and sacred beasts in the ocean ventured ashore, the consequences truly would be immeasurable.
“Do it! What are you still waiting for? Didn’t you just say you’d destroy the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s second head? Why haven’t you done anything yet!?” The Heaven Fighting Ruler immediately bellowed at Jian Chen.
None of them believed Jian Chen could actually destroy the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s second head, but they were out of options.
“Hmm? You even brought a helper?” The Demonic Dragon Ruler was surprised by the Heaven Fighting Ruler’s outburst. He looked behind him and immediately noticed Jian Chen several thousand kilometres away. He sneered. “Unless another three rulers come, you’re dreaming if you think you can destroy my second head.”
The Demonic Dragon Ruler’s voice was extremely loud. It was deafening, clearly reaching Jian Chen several thousand kilometres away.
Jian Chen smiled mysteriously when he heard that. He did not acknowledge the Demonic Dragon Ruler, instead turning towards the Heaven Fighting Ruler and saying calmly, “Don’t panic. Destroying its second head only takes a moment!”
“Only takes a moment?” The Heaven Fighting Ruler, the Jade Heaven Ruler, and the Blood Slaughter Ruler all blanked out.
But in the next moment, startling sword Qi suddenly filled the air. With the emergence of the sword Qi, even the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s expression changed drastically, together with the three rulers.
The sword Qi was so powerful that the hearts of the four of them all leapt. A great sense of fear rapidly spread through their hearts, occupying their minds.
A tiny strand of sword Qi, only the size of a finger, appeared over Jian Chen’s head. It shone with blinding light as terrifying sword Qi swept through the surroundings, obliterating all of the clouds.
Swish!
In the next moment, the sword Qi pierced through the air and shot straight towards the Demonic Dragon Ruler.
The Demonic Dragon Ruler’s eyes immediately narrowed, dodging subconsciously, but the sword Qi was unbelievably fast. It seemed to have surpassed time and space, arriving before the Demonic Dragon Ruler instantly.
It was fast, far too fast. Before the sword Qi, the Demonic Dragon Ruler did not even have the time to respond, let alone dodge.
In the end, the Profound Sword Qi bypassed the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s energy defences as well as its powerful body, immediately vanishing into its head.
Immediately, the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s colossal figure stiffened. All of its actions seemed to freeze up at that moment. The light in the eyes of its remaining head rapidly bled away too.
Shortly afterwards, the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s colossal figure entered free fall, slamming into the ground heavily with a thump and filling the air with dust.
The Demonic Dragon Ruler’s remaining head was intact, but it was truly dead.
Jian Chen’s Profound Sword Qi did not destroy the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s head. Instead, it directly erased its soul.
With the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s strength at the Second Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime, it was completely unable to defend against the Profound Sword Qi.
With the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s death, the surroundings immediately fell quiet as if the air had frozen.
At this moment, the three rulers watched on with eyes widened in complete disbelief. Their hearts churned.
The three of them had to work together to destroy one of the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s heads, yet the mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared before them only used a single moment to destroy the soul in the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s other head.
That left them stunned as they found everything to be so surreal. It was unrealistic.
At this moment, Jian Chen immediately appeared before the Demonic Dragon Ruler with a flash despite being several thousand kilometres away a moment before. He hovered in the air in a seated position with his large robes covering his legs. He stared at the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s body down below with shining eyes, exhibiting a rare trace of excitement and anticipation.
He ignored the three stunned rulers and slashed his finger through the air, slicing open the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s body with a spatial blade and retrieving its inner core.
Immediately, an inner core the size of a fist appeared in Jian Chen’s hand. The life force it gave off was extremely dense, pulsing with great energy.
“Now, I’ve obtained a Chaotic Prime’s inner core.” Gazing at the inner core in his hand, Jian Chen smiled gently.
The Blood Slaughter Ruler suddenly appeared before Jian Chen. He stared straight at him and asked sternly, “Sir, who are you exactly?”
Jian Chen shifted his gaze from the inner core to the Blood Slaughter Ruler. The Blood Slaughter Ruler was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in red robes; his body radiated with strength, giving off a powerful presence.
“I’m Jian Chen. Haven’t I told you before?” Jian Chen behaved with great composure, smiling at the Blood Slaughter Ruler gently without much respect.
“I know all of the experts in the Wood Spirits World. You can say that I know them like the back of my own hand, so why have I never heard about you?” the Blood Slaughter Ruler asked sternly.
“I have always been cultivating in seclusion, paying no regard to what happens in the outside world, much less moving around in the outside world until most recently. It’s perfectly normal if you don’t know about me,” Jian Chen said calmly.
The Jade Heaven Ruler and Heaven Fighting Ruler arrived by Jian Chen’s side too. The three rulers stood together and all stared at him.
None of them even spared a glance at the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s corpse.
The Jade Heaven Ruler was dressed in a green dress. She seemed to be in her twenties, possessing great beauty.
As for the Heaven Fighting Ruler, he was an old man with grey hair dressed in white robes. He seemed more like an enlightened master.
The three of them studied Jian Chen together, but without any exception, none of them could see through Jian Chen’s exact strength. It was as if a layer of mist clouded him from them. They could only sense Jian Chen’s presence vary in strength and constantly change.
However, even when his presence was at its strongest, it came nowhere close to theirs.
“What was that just now?” the Jade Heaven Ruler asked sternly. “The thing that killed the Demonic Dragon Ruler.”
“That’s a trump card of mine. You can say it’s my greatest life-preserving measure. I obtained it accidentally in the past,” said Jian Chen.
“You only possess one of those trump cards?” the Blood Slaughter Ruler suddenly asked, staring straight at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen blinked his eyes and stared back at the Blood Slaughter Ruler, falling into silence.
The Blood Slaughter Ruler exhaled deeply. His tense heart seemed to completely settle down at that moment. “Fellow, thank you for assisting us in killing the Demonic Dragon Ruler. We won’t mistreat you. We’ll definitely thank you properly.”
As he said that, the Blood Slaughter Ruler looked towards the inner core in Jian Chen’s hand. “You better hand the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s inner core over to us, as you didn’t do anything in killing the Demonic Dragon Ruler. You only used a tool.”
