Jianchen could not help but let out a sigh of relief when he finally killed the violet serpent dragon. With a flick of his sword, a blood-soaked object immediately flew out of the serpent dragon's head, landing firmly in Jianchen's hand.
This was a thunderstone produced by the serpent dragon. It could be imbued with the power of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor, allowing the Holy Emperor to unleash the power of a Ninth Heavenly Layer expert. It was extremely valuable, only slightly less valuable than the Flaming Jadeite that the president of the Radiant Saint Master Union had given him.
Jianchen stowed the thunderstone and Emperor Armament away in his Space Ring before sitting down nearby to heal. Slivers of milky-white light radiated from his body. He had used up the remaining half of his Radiant Saint Force origin energy. He needed to heal his wounds as quickly as possible.
The hole in Jianchen's chest from the serpent dragon's tooth healed at a visible rate. The missing flesh grew back.
In the distance, the two Saint Rulers, Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun, tottered over with the Heaven Saint Masters from the Blue Sky Adventurers. They all paled when they saw the corpse of the serpent dragon on the ground.
This was one of the most powerful experts in the Mountains of the Sleeping Dragon. Even if it had not reached the peak of the 16th Star, it was not far off. It was basically an existence on par with the hall elders of the three divine halls of the sea realm, yet its corpse was lying there right now. The sight of it greatly impacted them.
"This serpent dragon is not weak. Its entire body is filled with treasures. Go deal with it first, and you'll obviously get a share." Jianchen suddenly said to them as he healed on the ground. His priority was to heal himself, so he did not have time to deal with the serpent dragon's corpse.
Zhou Chuyun and the others ravished with joy. They hurriedly thanked him and immediately began to deal with the corpse.
However, the serpent dragon's body was just too tough. Even though it was already dead, it was still extremely difficult for them as Saint Rulers to deal with it.
Suddenly, the sound of muffled thunder came from the sky. The sky in the God's Domain turned gloomy once more. Thunder rumbled incessantly in the clouds, and from time to time, a bolt of lightning would shuttle through the clouds, blossoming into a brilliant radiance that illuminated the entire horizon.
Jianchen opened his eyes and raised his head to look at the gloomy sky. He immediately frowned and immediately stopped. He pulled out the Emperor Armament from his Space Ring and joined in the work of dissecting the serpent dragon.
With Jianchen's participation, the process of dealing with the serpent dragon's corpse was obviously much faster. Jianchen pulled out the dragon's tendons and dug out its heart. Jianchen plucked out all the violet scales. The scales were extremely tough. If they were made into clothes, even Saint Rulers would struggle to injure them. They could even block the full-powered attacks of Holy Emperors below the Fifth Heavenly Layer without being destroyed. They were rare treasures to people who were not powerful.
Although the violet scales were tough, they did not necessarily protect the wearer's life. They only provided the wearer with the greatest protection. If a Saint Ruler wore clothes made from violet scales against a Holy Emperor, the Holy Emperor would not be able to break through the armor, but he would be able to use his great strength to shake his opponent to death.
Other than that, Jianchen used the jade bottles that Zhou Chuyun had given him to store quite a lot of the serpent dragon's blood. The jade bottles were similar to Space Rings. They did not seem large, but they were extremely large inside. They could store over five hundred liters of liquid.
The blood of a serpent dragon was extremely precious, especially the blood of a Holy Emperor at the Ninth Heavenly Layer. It could strengthen the bodies of Heaven Saint Masters and those below, but it was not very useful to Saint Rulers with tough bodies.
The clouds in the sky became denser and denser. The rain was about to pour.
Jianchen knew that he did not have much time left. In the end, he cut off a large piece of the serpent dragon's flesh and left. He found the huge cave that the violet serpent dragon lived in nearby and hid inside.
Before long, the rain began to pour. The extremely corrosive rain landed on the remaining corpse of the serpent dragon, and the corpse immediately began to melt at a visible rate. It completely vanished very soon, without even a speck of it remaining.
Jianchen immediately became doubtful when he saw this. He still remembered how he had seen a few vicious beasts emerge unscathed from afar when he ran through the rain with the people of the Blue Sky Adventurers. The rain did not pose any threat to the vicious beasts, yet the corpse of the serpent dragon had actually been melted by the rain. He was very confused.
Zhou Chuyun could tell that Jianchen was doubtful, so he explained, "Esteemed warrior Yang Yutian, the rain in the divine realm cannot harm living vicious beasts, but it can corrode the beasts that have lost all signs of life. At the same time, the rain can corrode everything that comes from outside the divine realm. Only the native creatures of the divine realm will be unaffected."
"In other words, if I cut off a piece of rock and place it above my head, won't I be able to block the rain?" Jianchen asked.
"That's right. You can do that, but it's just too dangerous after all. Basically no one is willing to try it because the rocks here aren't indestructible. Once you encounter vicious beasts, it'll be dangerous. At the same time, the weather in the divine realm is different from the outside world. It's windy and rainy here, so some of the puddles on the ground will even be blown up by the wind. It's not safe even if you hide under a rock. The best method is still to hide in a cave, "explained Zhou Chuyun. Afterwards, he looked at the serpent dragon meat that had been corroded by the rain with a pained expression. He said, "What a pity. So much serpent dragon meat was wasted just like that. That meat can be sold for quite a lot of money outside."
Jianchen came to a realization. Afterwards, he gave a small portion of the blood and meat he had obtained to Zhou Chuyun and the others before sitting down on the ground to continue healing.
When the rain stopped the next day, Jianchen continued on his journey with the people of the Blue Sky Adventurers. They passed through the mountains and made their way into the depths of the divine realm. He had already made a full recovery from the Chaotic Force and Radiant Saint Force origin energy. He had returned to his peak condition.
The journey down the mountain was much easier. Although they would come across vicious beasts from time to time, they were nowhere near as powerful as the serpent dragons. They were basically all at the 14th or 15th Star. The corpses of these vicious beasts were rather ordinary, nowhere near as valuable as the purple-gold serpent dragons. Even the people of the Blue Sky Adventurers could not be bothered to clean them up.
"Zhou Chuyun, where is the divine water of the world that you discovered in the depths of the divine realm?" Jianchen asked Zhou Chuyun after they had left the mountains. They had officially set foot into the depths of the divine realm now.
"Esteemed warrior Yang Yutian, since the path we took to enter this place is different from the path I took last time, I need to identify it properly and search for the markings I left behind last time," said Zhou Chuyun.
"Alright then. Lead the way. I'll deal with the harassment of the vicious beasts along the way. Once we find the divine water of the world, you'll have a share," Jianchen said to Zhou Chuyun.
Everyone continued on their way, but the person at the front was now Zhou Chuyun.
At the same time, the Hundred-footed clan from Deorc City entered the divine realm under young master Lan Mo's lead. Lan Mo sensed the location of the Blue Sky Adventurers through a secret technique and immediately became stunned. He murmured, "How is this possible? They're actually in the depths of the divine realm. How have they traveled so far in such a short amount of time? Isn't this just a little too fast?"
"They must be led by an expert, or it's impossible for them to move so quickly. Since they're already in the depths of the divine realm, we need to move faster. Let's go!" An old man from the Hundred-footed clan said emotionlessly before immediately flying into the depths of the divine realm with everyone else.
Soon after the Hundred-footed clan entered the divine realm, a group of experts from the Huangdao clan from Bibo City also entered the divine realm. They were led by a 15th Star expert, and they also hurried into the depths of the divine realm.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Jianchen and the Blue Sky Adventurers had already traveled through the depths of the divine realm for three days. During those three days, they experienced many dangers. Just the vicious beasts that attacked them numbered over a dozen. The weakest among them was at the 13th Star, and there were even quite a few 15th Star beasts.
Suddenly, the buzzing of wings rang out from all directions, causing Jianchen's group to stop involuntarily.
"What's that sound?" Liu Jun looked around and became rather stern. Even 15th Star experts faced the danger of dying in the depths of the divine realm, so they needed to be cautious.
Jian Chen looked around as well, but he didn't see anything. Unfortunately, the senses of his soul were suppressed here, so he could only extend it to a thousand meters away. He could not even see with his naked eye.
The buzzing of wings grew louder and louder, basically blotting out the surroundings. Soon after, a large swathe of black figures gradually appeared before everyone. They came from all directions, surrounding all of them.
"That's a group of dark-green flying ants. The smallest ones are the size of a fist, while the larger ones are the size of an adult." Jianchen's eyesight was much better than Zhou Chuyun and the others, so he was able to see the true appearance of the black figures from very far away. His scalp became numb because he discovered that there were just far too many of the flying ants. They were packed together, basically blotting out the sky.
Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun's expressions suddenly changed when they heard that. Deep fear filled their eyes as they cried out, "Oh no, those are the legendary assassins of the divine realm, the Soaring Ants. They can't be killed, and their bodies are as tough as steel. They specialize in absorbing energy and are immune to all energy attacks. They can ignore the spatial abilities of the Saint Ruler and the Holy Emperor. Retreat, we need to retreat quickly and leave the territory of the Soaring Ants immediately. Otherwise, even people as powerful as hall elders will die here."
Jianchen's face changed as well. They were immune to all energy attacks and could ignore the spatial abilities of the Saint Ruler and the Holy Emperor. The Saint Ruler and the Holy Emperor would lose their greatest advantage before the Soaring Ants.
Everyone below Saint Ruler was an ant. This was because Saint Rulers already had a basic grasp over spatial abilities and the ability to gather the energy of the world. However, these abilities were completely ineffective against the Soaring Ants.
They turned around and fled in the direction they had come from, but they had already been surrounded by the dense swarm of Soaring Ants. No matter which direction they fled in, they would have to face countless Soaring Ants.
