Chapter 479 A Bizarre Mechanism, Laws Contained Within Deadly Poison
Jiang Chen has made a clear judgment: Thunderfire Canyon is indeed a dangerous and desperate situation.
He knew all too well that reaching the final destination was virtually impossible.
Even with his exceptional skills, he found it extremely difficult to handle.
However, having agreed to the deal with Antares, he decided to go all out and try to find out the truth.
Now that we're here, it wouldn't be right to give up without even trying.
Jiang Chen never gives up easily. Once he decides to do something, he will go all out and do his best. "Perhaps the situation will change, and it may not be as difficult as it is now."
He comforted himself and continued forward.
Similar to his previous experience, when he had traveled about a kilometer, three more stars fell from the sky at the same time, transforming into a Thunder Beast.
This is a level 82 Thunder Beast, not much different from the previous ones, except that its attributes have been enhanced.
For Jiang Chen, killing them was not difficult, but what really troubled him was how to minimize the damage during their final self-destruction.
After some thought, Jiang Chen came up with a solution: spread out the Thunder Beasts and try to lengthen the time interval between killing them.
He hoped that this method would prevent them from dying at the same time, thereby reducing the damage.
After careful consideration, Jiang Chen felt that this method was worth a try.
So he took action, and based on the self-destruction distance he had previously observed, he deliberately separated the three Thunder Beasts by a distance of over a thousand meters.
He then focused all his efforts on attacking one of them.
Just half a minute later, the besieged Thunder Beast was in dire straits, its health points about to drop to zero.
Immediately afterwards, its entire body began to glow, just as Jiang Chen had predicted, and it was about to self-destruct.
However, at this moment, Jiang Chen was surprised to find that his strategy did not seem to work, but instead plunged him into an even greater predicament.
As one of the Thunderbeasts glowed brightly and was about to self-destruct, the other two Thunderbeasts also began to glow.
They are about to self-destruct.
What shocked Jiang Chen even more was that he clearly sensed a strange connection between the auras of the three Thunder Beasts, as if their fates were tightly bound together. Then, the entire canyon was enveloped in a dazzling light.
Despite being thousands of meters apart, the three Thunder Beasts' self-destruction ranges seemed to be drawn together by some mysterious force, forming a vast area.
The area affected by the self-destruction covered a vast expanse of land spanning three kilometers.
Almost all of the skeletons summoned by Jiang Chen were affected by the sudden self-destruct attack.
Those skeleton berserkers closest to the Thunder Beast were instantly blasted away by the powerful force of their self-destruction.
Their bones cracked and began to disintegrate under the impact of the explosion, scattering across the ground.
However, just as they were about to completely dissipate, the magical power of the immortal aura came into play once again.
The shattered bones began to slowly heal, reassembling into a complete skeleton. Fortunately, this aura of immortality existed; otherwise, Jiang Chen's undead army would likely have suffered a devastating annihilation.
"It seems that keeping the Thunder Beasts at a distance has actually increased the range of their self-destruction blasts."
Jiang Chen frowned, his heart filled with helplessness.
"Moreover, the power of the self-destruction was not diminished at all."
"What's worse is that killing one Thunder Beast will cause the other two to self-destruct at the same time."
"What kind of bizarre mechanism is this?"
Jiang Chen felt a headache coming on and was filled with confusion.
But we must continue.
He stood before the fourth fork in the road, gazing at the five different paths before him, lost in thought.
This time, he didn't rush to make a choice, but stopped in front of the passage.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable to him; the Undying Aura has entered a cooldown phase, and he must wait for it to recover.
Otherwise, if he were to encounter another self-destruction by the Thunder Beast, his undead army would likely face the danger of total annihilation.
Now, Jiang Chen's feelings towards Thunderfire Canyon have changed beyond it being just a leveling-up area.
He increasingly felt that this place was more like a testing ground, a trial field full of unknowns and dangers, like a divine secret realm.
Jiang Chen felt as if he was overcoming one obstacle after another, constantly challenging himself and pushing his limits until he finally obtained that exciting reward.
This feeling grew stronger and stronger, as if guiding him forward.
This thought further strengthened Jiang Chen's resolve to continue on this path.
His brain began to work at high speed, constantly considering various possible solutions. Meanwhile, on the other side of the abyss, green flames burned eternally.
News of the destruction of Black King's City has spread throughout the entire Abyss.
At this time, half of this once magnificent royal city was shrouded in deadly poison.
The buildings corroded by the poison collapsed and crumbled, and the earth was melted by the poison, becoming a desolate wasteland.
This place has become a forbidden zone for life, barren of everything.
The demons in the city all knew that contact with this deadly poison meant certain death.
Even powerful level 80+ demons cannot resist the corrosive effects of this potent poison.
The moment the poison spread, tens of thousands of demons fell victim to it.
The remaining demons fled Black Heaven City, not daring to linger for even a moment longer. Black Heaven Demon King stood on high ground, his gaze dark and brooding as he looked down upon the now dilapidated royal city.
It turned to a demon king beside it and said, "Rotten Demon King, can you remove these deadly poisons?"
Among the many demon lords of the abyss, the Rot Demon Lord is renowned for his ability to manipulate poison elements.
It has reached the advanced level of 93 and possesses the bloodline power of the essence blood level.
Although its strength was slightly inferior to that of the Black Sky Demon King, the Black Sky Demon King still maintained considerable respect for it.
The Black Demon King knew how troublesome the Rotten Demon King was. Once, a demon king had a conflict with the Rotten Demon King, and as a result, the entire palace was poisoned by it.
The Rotten Demon King engaged in a fierce battle with another elite-level demon king amidst the deadly poison, and ultimately managed to kill his opponent.
At this moment, the Rotten Demon King, short in stature and curled up, with a sinister smile on his face, slowly flew towards the area shrouded in poison.
It did not rashly enter the highly poisonous area, but instead carefully observed its surroundings.
It took out a black magic stone and carefully tossed it into the area shrouded in poison.
The magic stone floated slowly in the air, gradually absorbing the surrounding poison, before gracefully flying back into the Rotten Demon King's hand.
The Rotten Demon King gripped the magic stone tightly, intently sensing the aura within it.
A moment later, its expression suddenly changed drastically, as if it had seen something terrifying, and it quickly threw away the magic stone.
Immediately afterwards, the Rotten Demon King let out a furious roar, and his entire arm broke off on its own, falling to the ground with a sizzling sound, accompanied by billowing smoke.
It turned out that the poison was too potent; even the toxicity it possessed was no match for it. The Rotten Demon King quickly retreated several steps, then roared again. A surge of black energy began to flow from its severed arm, and a brand new arm rapidly grew back.
For the Rotten Demon King, the regeneration of severed arms was a trivial matter, as simple as eating and drinking.
Upon seeing this, the Black Demon King hurriedly asked, "How is it? Can this deadly poison be neutralized?"
The Rotten Demon King shook his head, a solemn expression on his face: "It's too poisonous. This poison is far more potent than anything I've ever used."
"I need to study this carefully; it's not something that can be solved in a short time."
The Dark Lord knew perfectly well that there was probably no hope left.
The Rotten Demon King said this mostly to save face.
The Black Sky Demon King's hatred for Jiang Chen intensified: "Jiang Chen, I swear I will kill you!" However, the Rotten Demon King chuckled, seemingly unconcerned about the Black Sky Demon King's anger. It said, "Black Sky Demon King, please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying this for the sake of saving face."
"This deadly poison does indeed contain a trace of the power of laws. If I can study it thoroughly, I can not only improve my strength, but also have the opportunity to evolve my bloodline."
The Black Demon King's expression changed instantly: "You're saying this deadly poison contains the power of laws?"
The Rotten Demon King laughed even more heartily: "That's right, it does contain the power of laws. Although it's weak, it is real."
"And then there's that human Jiang Chen. If we could bring him into the abyss, I'd like to have a good chat with him. He must be hiding similar treasures on him."
The Black Demon King said in a deep voice, "If I have the opportunity, I will."
As for exchanging ideas, that's pure nonsense. Given the chance, the Black Demon King would not hesitate to pierce Jiang Chen's body with his spear.
The losses he suffered this time were too great. Not only were his clones destroyed, but his magnificent royal city was also completely destroyed. What pained him even more was the loss of face.
The Black Demon King's hatred for Jiang Chen had reached its peak. He would never let Jiang Chen live another second, given the chance he could find.
In the succubus king's magnificent palace, Shade had already given the succubus king a detailed account of what had happened.
The Succubus sighed softly, her voice tinged with helplessness: "That Black Sky Demon King is really unlucky this time. He even lost a Demon King-level clone. I don't know how much time and effort it will take to cultivate a new one."
"Jiang Chen is becoming more and more cunning. I feel that we may really have no chance to kill him again."
"Let's give up, Shadai. Don't provoke him anymore." Shadai knelt on the ground, looked up at the Succubus King, and asked hesitantly, "Then how should we explain things to the Demon Emperor?"
The Succubus Queen smiled faintly, a sly glint in her eyes: "Let's just put on a show. Spread the word about Jiang Chen's activities in the lower space, and I'm sure many people will be willing to help. After all, there are plenty of people who want to make a name for themselves in front of the Demon Emperor."
“Yes, sir!” Shadai replied respectfully.
The Succubus's lips curled into a smug smile, her eyes gleaming with anticipation for a good show. Although she had also suffered humiliation because of Jiang Chen, compared to the Black Heaven Demon King, her loss was insignificant.
Therefore, the Succubus Queen decided to stop in time and cease her hostility towards Jiang Chen. She knew that continuing to entangle with such an unkillable enemy would likely result in her own demise.
The Succubus even harbored a thought: could she find an opportunity to mend her relationship with Jiang Chen? Although she knew the possibility was extremely slim, she couldn't help but hold onto a sliver of hope. Twenty-four hours later, Jiang Chen slowly rose, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination. He once again set off towards the fourth passage, determined to continue exploring this Thunderfire Canyon, a place filled with unknowns and dangers.
