Chapter 806 People from the Great World
The golden light on the soul's body grew increasingly dazzling, gradually spreading to the entire body, even turning the bronze helmet and iron armor into a glittering gold.
He was getting closer and closer to the peak of the second rank.
Suddenly, a black light silently flashed across Jiang Chen's body.
The skeletal armor flashed with light and instantly shattered. The undead army of the magical star also disintegrated.
Jiang Chen reacted quickly, immediately dodging to the side after being injured by the black light for the first time.
Thus, he only suffered one injury.
As long as it's not a persistent injury, it's not a big deal.
Although the black light attack was fierce, it lacked tracking ability. Jiang Chen understood that as long as he dodged quickly enough, he would only suffer damage once or twice at most, and there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
The cooldown of [Undead Spirit] is three minutes, during which it can withstand five deaths.
In addition, the Undead Lich's aura effect will activate the talent upon the seventh death.
Then you will have seven more chances to revive.
One minute later, the talent resets, and you gain seven more chances to revive.
This cycle repeats itself, and unless Jiang Chen is killed fourteen times in a minute, he will not truly die.
Given the frequency of the black light's appearance, as long as Jiang Chen doesn't stand there like a fool and become a target, the danger isn't great.
Jiang Chen's advantage lies in his exceptional survival skills.
As Jiang Chen approached the core, the frequency and density of the black light increased significantly. Black lights flashed irregularly throughout the field of vision, appearing in various corners.
Because of the lack of a pattern, Jiang Chen could only adapt to the situation.
Try to avoid being attacked continuously. Since the frequency of the black light increased, the number of corpses on the ground has decreased.
The number of corpses has decreased, but the quality of the remaining souls is increasing dramatically.
Previously, he was only a half-step god, or a remnant soul of the first or second level of godhood.
But now, the quality of the remnant soul has been upgraded to the fifth level of the God Realm.
Even the Eye of the Dead began to struggle, forcing Jiang Chen to use the Curse of Time to attack.
The higher the level of the remnant soul, the higher the quality of the soul essence left behind, and the effect on improving the soul quality is far greater than that of a low-level remnant soul.
As the quality of the soul approaches the peak of the second rank, the requirements for soul essence also increase.
We used to pursue quantity, now we pursue quality. Along the way, we've destroyed countless remnant souls, no less than hundreds.
He was still just one step away from reaching the peak of the second rank. Each remnant soul represented a powerful figure, and some corpses did not leave behind any remnant souls.
Jiang Chen believed that among these corpses were powerful figures from the Great World.
They came here to compete for the core of the world.
The allure of a treasure of true god-level quality is irresistible.
Jiang Chen was attacked by the black light more than ten times, but he was able to react quickly each time and only endure one attack.
But Jiang Chen's heart began to grow impatient. He unconsciously quickened his pace, eager to reach the finish line as soon as possible and seize the core of the world.
The black light flashed again, but Jiang Chen seemed completely unaffected this time. The undead army collapsed instantly and then quickly regenerated.
The second attack followed immediately, and the undead army collapsed once more. Jiang Chen then realized that he had escaped the black light's attack range.
The black light remained, but Jiang Chen himself had changed.
Jiang Chen realized that his condition was abnormal, and a strange sense of irritability emerged, slowing down his reaction speed.
Amidst this rage, a hint of resentment towards the world and dissatisfaction with the fickle nature of Hei Mang also arose.
"Could it be that the resentment in those remnant souls was generated in this way?"
The remnant souls were all killed by the black light in life, and their remains continued to be attacked by the black light after death, being repeatedly destroyed over the long years.
The inexplicable rage contained within the black light was transmitted from the bones to the remnant souls, filling each soul with resentment.
“The resentment originates from the black light, and the black light originates from the core of the world.”
"The core of the world is a world of destruction." "The world possesses a will, and is filled with resentment towards its own destruction." Jiang Chen felt that he had found the root of the problem.
Suddenly, he felt enlightened.
The root of everything lies at the core of the world. Now that this is clear, fear ceases to exist. The unknown is what is most terrifying.
With a gentle movement of the soul, those unnecessary negative emotions were erased.
He regained his clear thinking and embarked on his journey again.
The black rays became increasingly dense, and we encountered one almost every few steps.
They either blocked his path or struck Jiang Chen directly.
The frequency of the attacks increased dramatically. Jiang Chen slowed his pace, adjusting his rhythm.
Sometimes, Jiang Chen would stand still for several minutes while waiting for his spells to cool down. But even so, he would sometimes be attacked by the black light even when he was completely still.
And so, Jiang Chen traveled several hundred kilometers, stopping and starting along the way.
"In total, we've traveled about three thousand kilometers, and we should be nearing our destination."
Jiang Chen calculated the distance he had traveled, and based on his understanding of this special world, the destination should be just around the corner.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen's nose twitched slightly. A faint fragrance wafted over.
The fragrance enters the nasal cavity and permeates the depths of the soul; even the soul can smell it.
"It smells so good!"
The moment his soul caught the scent, Jiang Chen couldn't help but shiver, and his mind instantly became exceptionally clear.
Just then, a black light gathered in front of him. Jiang Chen reacted quickly and immediately dodged to the side. However, he was still a beat too slow and was grazed by the black light.
This wasn't the first time the undead army had collapsed. Jiang Chen suddenly realized that his reaction speed had significantly improved, all thanks to that fragrance.
Jiang Chen began searching for the source of the fragrance and eventually discovered its origin.
His eyes narrowed suddenly; there was actually someone here!
Jiang Chen was shocked; there were actually people here. He was certain they were human; his intuition wouldn't deceive him.
Moreover, she was a woman, a woman of extraordinary strength.
The aura she exuded had reached the eighth or even ninth level of the Transcendent God realm.
She noticed Jiang Chen's gaze and turned to look at him.
When she saw Jiang Chen, surprise was also evident in her eyes.
This woman's beauty was no less than Lillian's. Even more so, because of her power, she exuded an extraordinary aura, radiating captivating charm.
Jiang Chen was certain that he had never seen her before.
A black light suddenly appeared beside the woman.
"Watch out!" Jiang Chen warned instinctively. The woman had already sensed the black light and easily dodged it with a light step.
Her speed far surpasses Jiang Chen's.
Then, she took another step, and before Jiang Chen knew it, the woman was standing in front of him.
Jiang Chen stared at her, and she looked back at him, as if they were both waiting for the other to speak first. Jiang Chen tried to guess her identity.
Although there was no verbal communication, her clothing already conveyed a lot of information.
Her clothing was completely different from that of the people in this world.
They are even different from ancient humans.
It does bear some resemblance to the Taoist robes of my previous life in China. Only, it is more exquisite, with lifelike embroidered patterns and designs, as if they were alive.
Based on this, it can be inferred that this woman is either a human from a previous era or a human from a wider world.
Seeing Jiang Chen remain silent, the woman frowned slightly. "Are you a resident of this world?"
Jiang Chen nodded. "You come from a wider world?" The woman seemed slightly surprised. "You actually know about the wider world?"
"Know a thing or two."
