Chapter 574 Destroying the Time-Space Tunnel, the Demon Emperor Retreats in Panic
Ao Hongchen's swordsmanship is as unruly and unrestrained as his personality.
That strike was sharp and carried a chilling killing intent.
He swung his sword in mid-air, the blade light instantly spanning a thousand meters, cleaving the wild beast that had just poked its head out in two, blood splattering everywhere.
Feng Anzai and the others were amazed by this scene, as they noticed a significant change in Ao Hongchen's aura.
"Old Ao, you've broken through that barrier!" Hong Jishi exclaimed in disbelief.
Li Xueru smiled slightly, "It seems you're still blind and didn't notice the power of laws contained within Old Ao's Blade?"
Ao Hongchen burst into laughter, "Haha, my old friends, this time I, Ao, have taken the lead and comprehended the Law of Killing!"
"From now on, I will attain enlightenment through slaughter and become invincible in the world!"
Jiang Chen also sensed the difference in Ao Hongchen. Although his aura was similar to that of Li Xueru and others, the faint fluctuation of law made him stand out.
This aura, like a star in the night sky, is dazzling and eye-catching.
Ao Hongchen swung his sword again, the blade flashing like a rainbow, his momentum unstoppable, slaying one wild beast after another.
Antares's voice echoed in Jiang Chen's mind, "Do you see that? This is the power of the Law."
"Once you master the power of the laws, slaying these wild beasts will no longer be difficult."
Jiang Chen's heart stirred. "So, if I use the Lightning Law Divine Crystal, I can achieve a similar effect?"
Antares nodded in affirmation, “That’s right. The Lightning Law Divine Crystal in your hand contains the essence of the Lightning God’s entire life. Although the Lightning God has only just reached the realm of a high god, its attributes are extremely special.”
"If you can utilize the power of its laws, the power you unleash will be equivalent to a level 97 god-level expert. Compared to Ao Hongchen, whose swordsmanship is arrogant, it will probably be even stronger."
Jiang Chen felt more confident, and his gaze became firm.
The situation seemed to have stabilized. Jiang Yi, wielding the Demon-Slaying Sword, confronted the Demon Emperor across the void. Although the Demon Emperor was powerful, fighting across realms meant he couldn't unleash his full power, and he and Jiang Yi were evenly matched.
Jiang Yi's voice came from the sword, tinged with sarcasm, "Demon Emperor, it's been many years, and your strength hasn't improved at all. You've been stagnant for hundreds of years, which is extremely disappointing."
"What do you know!" The Demon Emperor's voice revealed obvious anger.
Jiang Yi laughed loudly, "So what if you understand, so what if you don't? Your spacetime tunnel can't hold for much longer, so I, Jiang, will play with you a little longer."
Meanwhile, on Ao Hongchen's side, his blade flashed, and he continuously slashed and killed the surging wild beasts.
Jiang Chen sensed an unprecedentedly powerful aura rapidly approaching, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.
"Antares, can Ao Hongchen fight against the King of Wild Beasts?" Jiang Chen asked nervously.
Antares scoffed dismissively, "Him? Of course not. Even the weakest Beast King is level 97. Even if Ao Hongchen fights with all his might, he can only delay for a while."
Jiang Chen's heart sank to the bottom. "It seems we absolutely cannot let it come over. Is there any way to destroy this space-time tunnel?"
Antares shook his head. "This spacetime tunnel was created by the Dragon Emperor using arrays and his own laws, making it exceptionally sturdy. Destroying it won't be an easy task."
Li Xueru had tried before, but failed. The time-space tunnel remains standing, indestructible.
Jiang Chen gripped the Law God Crystal tightly. "Is this okay?"
Antares shook his head again, "Not enough, it's not quite there yet."
Jiang Chen didn't hesitate, "Then please help me."
"Why should I?" Antares retorted arrogantly, and Jiang Chen could almost picture it raising its head proudly at that moment.
Jiang Chen didn't argue with it, but said directly, "Because you are my friend."
"You..." Antares was speechless, it hadn't expected Jiang Chen to say that.
For countless years, it spent its days in solitude in the core area, never having made any friends. Because in this world, everyone seemed too weak in its eyes.
There is no one worthy of being its friend.
But at this moment, Jiang Chen said that he was its friend, which stirred up a strange emotion in Antares' heart.
After a moment of silence, the aura of the King of Wild Beasts became even stronger, as if it was about to burst forth from the sky.
Jiang Ruo's face also tightened. She knew that the space-time tunnel concealed the King of Wild Beasts, a terrifying behemoth whose release would have unimaginable consequences.
She had followed Emperor Fan into the desolate lands and witnessed firsthand the might of the King of Wild Beasts, a power that could make the entire continent tremble.
Jiang Ruo walked to Jiang Chen's side and whispered, "If the King of Wild Beasts really comes out, you must leave as soon as possible."
Jiang Chen did not respond directly, but only glanced at her indifferently before calmly saying, "I think there is no need for that."
"Antares, I need your help." Jiang Chen made his request to Antares again.
Just then, the Law Divine Crystal in Jiang Chen's hand suddenly lit up, and a powerful force descended from nowhere, activating the Law Divine Crystal.
Jiang Chen was overjoyed, knowing that Antares had already begun his operation. Without further hesitation, he immediately cast his summoning spell.
Summon the Elemental Lich!
In an instant, thunder rumbled in the sky, and countless bolts of lightning struck down. Beside Jiang Chen, a lich covered in lightning appeared out of thin air. Although it was only two meters tall, the majesty and power emanating from its body were like that of a real lightning giant.
All eyes were drawn to the suddenly appearing lightning lich. They felt an unprecedented pressure; the summoned creature was powerful yet unstable, as if it could explode at any moment.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, the lightning lich instantly teleported to the front of the spacetime portal and plunged in without hesitation.
Just one second later, a roar came from inside the space-time tunnel, and the tunnel began to become unstable, then twisted and deformed.
Just two seconds later, the passage began to collapse, like a building about to crumble. Li Xueru was overjoyed at the sight, knowing that once the spacetime passage was destroyed, the King of the Wild Beasts would be unable to emerge.
"Great! It's a success!"
"The time-space tunnel is about to collapse!"
"General Jiang is truly formidable!"
The people around were excited, feeling that the crisis was about to be over.
The angry roar of the Beast King echoed from within the passage, but it was instantly drowned out by the roar of lightning.
At the same time, the Demon Emperor, who was fighting Jiang Yi's Demon-Slaying Sword, suddenly trembled in his giant hand, quickly stopped the battle, and withdrew his palm.
Immediately afterwards, the spacetime tunnel closed completely, as if it had never existed.
Antares's voice rang in Jiang Chen's ears, tinged with disdain: "That guy's senses are quite sharp. He sensed my presence and ran away."
Although Antares did it discreetly, he still managed to leak a trace of his presence, alerting the Demon Emperor to the danger.
Jiang Chen gazed in the direction where Antares had disappeared and exclaimed, "You are indeed powerful; even the Demon Emperor fears you."
Antares's voice echoed in his mind, but with a hint of helplessness: "You don't really understand."
With the matter resolved smoothly, Jiang Chen felt a weight lifted from his heart. He smiled and silently replied, "One day, I will fully understand you. I will come to see you again in a few days."
"Hmm, you're level 69 now. It's time to come." Antares's voice gradually faded away until it disappeared.
Jiang Chen knew that Antares had already left. Their conversation was unknown to everyone except themselves; even Jiang Ruo, who was possessed by Antares's will, was completely unaware of it.
The crisis had passed, and there was still soul energy remaining in the Soul Grinding Disc. Jiang Chen began to focus on manipulating the Soul Grinding Disc, distributing the remaining soul energy to Ao Hongchen and Jiang Ruo.
Ao Hongchen sheathed his broadsword and laughed loudly: "I went through so much trouble to break through to level 96, and you guys actually took a shortcut. It's really enviable!"
Everyone laughed upon hearing this. After the disaster, everyone was immersed in the joy of the harvest.
Lin Zhenzi jokingly added, "You can be envious all you want, but we won't become weaker because of it."
Hong Jishi chimed in, "That's right, don't think that just because you're one step ahead of us, we'll catch up soon."
Li Xueru shook his head, with a hint of teasing: "You used to be able to pursue her, but now that you have Liu Qingqing, I'm afraid you'll be distracted and won't have time to pursue her anymore."
Ao Hongchen was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "You and Liu Qingqing are together? Haha, I really didn't expect that!"
Hong Jishi said smugly, "What, is there a problem?"
Ao Hongchen continued to laugh: "Didn't you think women were troublesome? Have you forgotten what you said?"
Hong Jishi didn't care at all: "What did you say? I don't remember it."
The two started bickering again, their laughter filling the air with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Jiang Chen relaxed and walked over to Jiang Ruo, asking, "Sister, what have you been busy with lately?"
Jiang Ruo replied, "My teacher is giving me special training, and I've improved a lot during this time."
Jiang Chen nodded. He knew Jiang Ruo was extremely talented, and with Fan Huang's meticulous guidance, it was only natural that she could reach the god-level so quickly. He didn't ask any further questions; as long as Jiang Ruo was safe and sound, he was content.
Jiang Ruo is not only safe and sound, but also living a very good life. Reaching the god-level at the young age of 22 is an unprecedented achievement.
Li Xueru asked curiously, "Miss Jiang, where is Lord Fan Huang?"
Jiang Ruo sighed and said in a voice only Li Xueru could hear, "Teacher has left." Li Xueru was slightly startled, then understood and sighed, "I understand."
