Chapter 536 Destroyed the Dungeon, a Blind Scoundrel
Jiang Chen was deeply curious about what had happened in the past.
In that epic battle of the past, almost all the gods perished, and even those who were lucky enough to survive are now nowhere to be found.
For nearly a thousand years, the gods have disappeared and have never appeared in the world again.
However, several mysterious elemental dungeons appeared one after another, as if they were foreshadowing left by the gods.
Jiang Chen himself had defeated a dying god and witnessed the self-destruction of a god.
He had also slain one of the newly born gods. But the mystery of the past remained unsolved.
The sacred light still shimmered in the air as Jiang Chen and Yi Ning were each lost in their own thoughts.
Yi Ning was startled from her reverie when Xiao Bai let out a joyful cry.
Xiao Bai has absorbed enough holy light and reached its current limit.
At this point, its strength has at least doubled compared to when it first entered the dungeon.
Similarly, its power was also fed back to Yi Ning, which greatly improved Yi Ning's attributes.
Moreover, this improvement will continue for some time.
Yi Ning was overjoyed, but her joy faded as soon as she thought of Jiang Chen's astonishing strength.
Jiang Chen gently stroked Xiao Bai, who purred contentedly. "Are you full?" Jiang Chen asked softly.
Xiao Bai seemed to understand Jiang Chen's words and gave a cheerful response.
"Thank you, Little White has reached its limit. It has accumulated enough power, and its next evolution will have to wait until after I reach my third reincarnation," Yi Ning said softly.
Summoners and their summoned creatures are closely connected and influence each other.
If the summoned beasts are too weak, the summoner will also find it difficult to become powerful; and vice versa.
For summoned beasts to continue evolving, the summoner's level also needs to keep increasing.
Jiang Chen understood Yi Ning's meaning, "Come find me again after you complete your third transformation. I will keep this wing for now."
Jiang Chen didn't intend to take it all for himself; rather, his wings were filled with the aura of a deity.
If Yi Ning is not careful and rashly takes it out, it will likely attract the covetous eyes of many god-level powerhouses before long. It is even possible that a god will personally come looking for her, and with Yi Ning's strength, she will probably find it difficult to protect.
Yi Ning nodded. "This originally belonged to you. You can lend it to me if you need to."
“Anytime!” Jiang Chen replied without hesitation.
What are divine wings that are extremely precious to others are nothing special in Jiang Chen's eyes.
After all, he possessed even a complete divine corpse, let alone just a mere wing.
After putting away the divine wings, Jiang Chen discovered the hidden cavity below. After careful observation, he suddenly realized, "So the power of these divine wings is transmitted to every mysterious rune on its surface through this cavity."
"This cavity should have originally concealed some unknown source of power."
"But why would it do that?" Jiang Chen pondered, slowly floating up and looking down at the scene below.
Yi Ning rose up along with Jiang Chen and asked, "Did you discover anything?"
Jiang Chen stared at the layout below and said in a deep voice, "Look at the positions of these runes; they seem to form an ancient magic array."
After careful observation, Yi Ning nodded in confirmation: "Indeed, this does resemble a magic circle."
Jiang Chen continued to ponder: "I suspect there must be some important purpose or plan hidden behind these divine wings, but what exactly is it?" He shook his head, unable to solve the mystery for the time being.
"Forget it, let's not delve into it for now." Jiang Chen knew that his current strength was not enough to unravel all the secrets.
"Let's go," Jiang Chen said to Yi Ning.
As soon as the two left the area, a bright light suddenly erupted from the spot where the divine wings had been. Then, the entire space seemed to be torn apart by a powerful force, and the divine wings, along with the magic array below, vanished without a trace.
This scene attracted the attention of some explorers nearby.
"what happened?"
"Where did that instance go?"
With the disappearance of the dungeon, Jiang Chen and Yi Ning appeared outside.
A group of explorers quickly gathered around, accusing Jiang Chen and Yi Ning: "Did you destroy this instance, causing it to collapse?"
Faced with everyone's questions, Jiang Chen calmly replied, "The dungeon was indeed destroyed because of me, but the collapse of this area has nothing to do with me. Besides, what does anything here have to do with you?"
His words, brimming with unwavering conviction, startled the surrounding explorers.
Some people stared intently at Jiang Chen and said sternly, "The dungeon wouldn't be destroyed for no reason. You must have tampered with it." Others had shifty eyes, seemingly calculating something, and tentatively asked, "Did you get some treasure from the dungeon?"
Jiang Chen nodded, his expression frank. "I did obtain some good things, but what does that have to do with you?"
"Hand over the stuff!" someone threatened menacingly.
"Yes, hand it over!"
"The copy belongs to everyone; don't even think about keeping what you get for yourself."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly. He knew that reasoning with this group wouldn't work, so his attitude hardened. "Are you trying to rob us outright?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions hardened, and someone shouted angrily, "Boy, you'd better think this through. If you don't hand over the item today, don't even think about leaving this place safely!"
The voice that had threatened Jiang Chen earlier rang out again, tinged with a sinister glint, "This place is teeming with demons. Even if you die here, people will just think you were killed by a demon... Ah!"
A scream suddenly rang out, breaking the tense atmosphere.
The owner of that voice suddenly clutched his head and screamed in agony, rolling around on the ground in pain before finally collapsing motionless, dead.
Jiang Chen attacked without warning, killing the victim instantly.
This scene terrified everyone, and they all took several steps back. No one had expected Jiang Chen to be so murderous.
He killed without hesitation, so decisive.
What frightened them even more was how fast Jiang Chen acted; they didn't even see how he made his move.
“People like this deserve to die.” Jiang Chen’s gaze swept over the crowd, his tone icy. “If anyone dares to lay a hand on us again, they will face the consequences.”
Jiang Chen's assertive attitude made the crowd hesitate. Although they were greedy, they also knew that provoking such a ruthless character was not a good thing. However, at that moment, a loud shout rang out, and then a fist-sized magic crystal flew towards Jiang Chen.
Yi Ning exclaimed in surprise, "Demon-Shocking Thunder!"
The Demon-Shocking Thunder is a powerful weapon created by the human race, possessing immense destructive power.
The power of the Thunderclap Lightning before us is comparable to the full-force attack of a level 70 mage who has completed their third job advancement.
If an ordinary level 50+ professional were to unfortunately encounter such an attack, they would probably be instantly killed!
"Crazy! Absolutely crazy!"
Do you want to kill us all?
A group of people were terrified and scattered in all directions, screaming.
Jiang Chen's expression darkened. The Demon-Slaying Thunder was a strictly controlled item by the military, and ordinary people simply couldn't obtain it. Clearly, the other party had a military background, and a very close relationship with it.
What's even more infuriating is that they actually used this military-controlled item against themselves, who are also human. Jiang Chen memorized the appearance of the person who threw the Demon-Shocking Thunder.
The Demon-Shocking Lightning exploded in the air with a deafening roar, its lightning spreading out and creating a vast area of thunderstorm. This was the Demon-Shocking Lightning of the lightning element; once detonated, it would cover an area of hundreds of meters with violent lightning.
Its power is truly astonishing; even a level 70 mage using their full power to unleash a skill would likely be no match for it.
However, the skeletal armor on Yi Ning and Xiao Bai emitted a dazzling light, successfully withstanding the lightning attack. Jiang Chen didn't even need to activate his skeletal armor; he had 100% immunity to electric elements, and standing amidst the lightning, he seemed to have become the master of it.
Those who were fleeing in all directions were stunned by what they saw. The person who threw the Demon-Slaying Thunder was especially terrified and ran away for his life.
But how could he possibly escape Jiang Chen's grasp?
Jiang Chen's palm flickered with fire, and a burst of soul fire shot out. A scream followed, and the man hadn't even taken two steps before collapsing to the ground, twitching a few times before falling still.
Jiang Chen unleashed his full power; the Soul Burning Technique was enough to instantly kill a professional of the same level. Soul attacks are fatal to those without corresponding defensive skills.
Jiang Chen's gaze swept coldly over the crowd, filled with intense killing intent. "Is there anyone else who wants to come and die?"
No one dared to utter a sound. They all retreated to a distance, fearing that Jiang Chen would target them. The ruthlessness and strangeness of Jiang Chen's actions filled them with dread.
A few seconds later, the lightning dissipated, and Jiang Chen said to Yi Ning, "Let's go."
No one dared to stop them, and the two left safely.
