Chapter 497 Time Ends, the Primal Rune of the Character "Zhe" Appears Upon Him
Outside the Demon Emperor's palace, the Abyss Fire was like a pitch-black abyss, bottomless.
The five demon kings were engulfed in flames, their figures appearing even more ferocious in the firelight.
However, the flames did not seem to cause them any pain; on the contrary, their life force was rapidly recovering within them.
In just a few moments, all their injuries had completely healed.
Moreover, their auras were even stronger than before.
The Dark Demon King was already a peak level 92 powerhouse, only a step away from level 93. Now, under the baptism of flames, it has taken another step forward, and it is believed that it will soon be able to successfully advance to level 93 and become a true mid-level Demon King.
As the flames gradually dissipated, the Demon Emperor's deep and majestic voice slowly rang out: "You did very well this time."
The Dark Demon King lowered his head, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, "It's a pity we couldn't kill Jiang Chen."
The Demon Emperor's voice was devoid of any emotion, "He hid in the Ancient City of the Divine Dragon and manipulated the Ancient Tower. It's understandable that you can't kill him."
"Let's look for another opportunity next time."
The Fire Spirit Demon King's hoarse voice echoed through the light and shadow, "Your Majesty, we will continue to seek opportunities to fulfill your orders."
"Go."
The five demon kings dared not disobey in the slightest. Although they were still somewhat unwilling, they obediently left. After they departed, a faint voice echoed from the Demon Emperor's Palace.
"The frost of the Ice God, why has it reappeared in his hands?"
"It seems that the deadly poison of Black Heaven City also carries the aura of the God of Poison."
"Could it be that they didn't die?"
Even the Demon Emperor had to ponder this question, unable to find an answer for the time being.
At the heart of Shenlong Ancient City stands the Gulei Tower, the very soul of the entire ancient city.
Inside the Ancient Thunder Tower, Jiang Chen was glimpsing some wondrous scenes through the Thunder Core.
These images are like long-forgotten memories, quietly awakened by LeiXin.
Deep within the Thunder Core lies a record of the complete construction process of the Divine Dragon Ancient City. This history, never before seen by anyone, is entirely different from the history recorded by the human race.
According to LeiXin's records, the location of Shenlong Ancient City was originally a desolate land inhabited by all sorts of strange monsters.
In the center of these monsters, Jiang Chen also saw a huge BOSS.
Its size was enormous, and it exuded a terrifying aura, clearly a world-class BOSS, at least level 80 or higher.
Suddenly one day, a magnificent city appeared out of thin air in the sky.
It wasn't large, yet it fell from the sky and crashed onto that barren land.
In an instant, all the monsters on the wasteland vanished, even the world-class BOSS that had once dominated the region was not spared and perished on the spot. Although the city was dilapidated and covered with the marks of time, the majesty and power it exuded were not to be underestimated.
Its power is evident from its ability to kill a world-class BOSS in one fell swoop.
After the city was established, it quickly took root in the earth and began to draw energy from the land.
This energy was used to repair the city's damaged areas, allowing it to gradually regain its vitality.
As time went by, the size of the city began to gradually shrink.
During this process, Gureta slowly rose from the city center, initially in a state of disrepair, as if it had survived a great battle.
Through the passage of time, Gureta Tower and the city were restored together, and finally regained their former glory.
The city had shrunk by more than ten times from its original size, and had become what it is now, but it was still magnificent and spectacular.
In this process, the earth has also undergone tremendous changes.
What was once a desolate land has now become the only bustling city in the lower realm.
As time goes by, the ancient city becomes more and more perfect through self-repair, and the energy it accumulates becomes more and more enormous.
A thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Divine Dragon Kingdom came here, and this mysterious city was named the Ancient City of Divine Dragon.
However, before the arrival of the Divine Dragon Ancestor, there were others who had set foot on this land.
But without exception, none of them were able to enter this mysterious ancient city.
These pieces of information, buried in the dust of history, are now being unveiled one by one by Jiang Chen.
He became even more convinced that there must have been a profound break in the history of humankind.
In the distant past, something earth-shattering must have happened that changed the entire world order. "It's unbelievable that such a powerful city could have suffered such a severe blow."
"It already possesses such power even before revealing its full form. If it were to unleash its full power in its complete form, it might truly be able to confront the Demon Emperor head-on."
Jiang Chen was filled with anticipation, but he also knew that with his current abilities, he was far from reaching that level.
After watching this historical record, Jiang Chen left the Ancient Thunder Tower and returned to reality.
As soon as he stepped out of the Gulei Tower, he ran into Feng Xinghe and his two companions.
"Greetings, three seniors." Jiang Chen maintained a respectful attitude towards the god-level experts.
Every god-level powerhouse has gone through countless life-and-death trials to reach this level.
Jiang Chen was humble and polite, and Feng Xinghe and the others treated him with great courtesy. Although god-level experts and god-generals were of equal status, the strength and potential that Jiang Chen displayed commanded their respect.
Especially when they saw the three-star general badge on Jiang Chen's shoulder, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
While Jiang Chen's ability to kill the Flame Demon King was certainly due to the Flame Demon King's own actions, his subsequent slaying of two god-level experts was truly astonishing.
This not only demonstrates Jiang Chen's strength, but also shows that he has the courage and wisdom to confront god-level powerhouses head-on.
What shocked them the most was Jiang Chen's level.
At only level 53, he already possesses such strength. If he were to undergo his third transformation and even reach the god level, what level of strength would he achieve?
The three were still in shock when their thoughts raced, and their attitude towards Jiang Chen became even more friendly.
They chatted with Jiang Chen for a while, their tone gentle, without the slightest arrogance or prejudice. Time passed quickly, and until the very last moment, Feng Xinghe and the other two had to return to the deeper space.
After they left, Feng Yiming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike Jiang Chen, he always felt an indescribable pressure when facing the three god-level powerhouses.
The aura naturally emanating from the god-level expert made him feel somewhat breathless.
Feng Yiming whispered to Jiang Chen, "General Jiang, although the demons suffered a defeat this time, they certainly won't give up easily. You must be extra careful from now on."
Jiang Chen nodded, indicating that he understood. "I will stay for a few more days until the 'Primal Runes' are fully integrated before leaving. Do you know the exact location of the Primal Secret Realm?"
Feng Yiming shook his head, indicating that he was not quite sure. "I will send someone to inquire and give you an answer as soon as possible."
Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude: "Then I'll have to trouble Commander Feng."
In the days that followed, Jiang Chen did not leave the ancient city and focused on his cultivation there.
This ancient city is full of mystery and wonder; its current appearance is not its true form.
Moreover, it was not built by the Divine Dragon Empire as historical records suggest.
Its history is far longer than that of the Divine Dragon Empire.
Jiang Chen was filled with anticipation. He wanted to see what it would be like when the ancient city regained its former glory.
He sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and focused his mind, feeling the pulse of the ancient city.
The ancient city seems to resonate with the earth, constantly drawing energy from it and accumulating strength.
Even after more than a thousand years, it still seems to have a huge energy gap that needs to be filled.
Jiang Chen could sense the ancient city's thirst for and need for energy through the Thunder Core. As time passed, his heartbeat gradually synchronized with the pulse of the ancient city, as if he and the ancient city had become one.
In his mind, the powerful heartbeat of the ancient city echoed.
He breathes and shares the fate of the ancient city, feeling its every beat and breath.
Deep beneath the ancient city, a vast and complex array is quietly operating, its intricate details breathtaking.
Immediately afterwards, a mark flew out from the formation, traversed layers of space, and finally entered Jiang Chen's spiritual world.
From that moment on, Jiang Chen was surprised to find that he had established an indescribable connection with the ancient city.
A thought struck him, and he realized that this was Gu Cheng's recognition of him.
This recognition is similar to the situation a thousand years ago when the ancestors of the Divine Dragon Empire were granted permission to enter the ancient city. Although it is still very weak at present, it brings many benefits. The most significant benefit is that he can instantly return to the ancient city from any corner of the ancient battlefield.
Neither the deep space nor the upper space, nor even those mysterious secret realms, could stop him from returning to the ancient city.
This ability undoubtedly gave him a great deal of security.
In the ancient city, Jiang Chen seemed to have an eternal haven. No matter how the outside world changed, he could find peace and protection here.
Several days later, the light of the "Primal Rune" began to fade, and its trial period finally came to an end.
Immediately afterwards, the runes began to merge with Jiang Chen's body, and everyone in the ancient city watched this scene with bated breath.
Their eyes held envy, but even more so, admiration and blessings for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's strength has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds, and it is only natural that he has obtained such an opportunity.
As the red light completely disappeared, a new "Primordial Rune" appeared on the back of Jiang Chen's right hand.
“It’s the character ‘者’,” Jiang Chen murmured.
As this character appeared, a new power surged into his body, and at the same time, a new skill appeared in his mind—Power Gathering.
**Power Convergence:** Able to gather the power of a designated summoned creature, inheriting all its skills and fusing some of its attributes. Duration: 5 minutes; Cooldown: 60 minutes.
Jiang Chen carefully studied the description of the skill, his heart filled with anticipation.
He couldn't determine the strength of this skill, but since it was an ability granted by the "Primal Rune," it must be extraordinary.
"Let's give it a try!" Jiang Chen's heart stirred, and he immediately summoned the Lightning Undead Wings, preparing to fly out of the ancient city to test the power of this new skill.
