The golden-robed youth's World Force collided with Jianchen's Primal Chaos Force. There was no sound, but there was an extremely powerful burst of energy that caused space to shatter, the cave to collapse, and the hard rocks in the surroundings to be reduced to dust.
The cave shook violently and had completely collapsed. Huge rocks rolled down from above, bringing with them a cloud of dust. Below Jianchen and the golden-robed youth, there was nothing but a vacuum. The two of them hovered in the air, using their own abilities. Because the ground had been destroyed, only a huge black hole of unknown depth was left. The luminous pearls that were embedded in the walls of the cave had been reduced to dust, and the entire cave had been plunged into darkness.
Jianchen's body suddenly flashed with a layer of faint green light. This was the symbol of the Wind Elemental Energy. Wrapped in the Wind Elemental Energy, he quickly rose into the air and flew upwards. At the same time, the Origin Energy of the Azure Sword Spirits appeared in his right hand. In an instant, it elongated into a divine sword that was over twenty meters long. It crushed the huge rocks that were falling down from above, clearing away all obstacles.
The golden-robed youth let out a thick layer of golden light and turned into a small golden snake that was over two meters long. With a flash of golden light, the golden-robed youth flew upwards at an extremely fast speed, piercing through the thick rocks like a hot knife through butter. He shot up into the sky like a bolt of lightning and returned to his human form.
In just an instant, Jianchen and the golden-robed youth flew out of the cave and hovered in the air again.
Below the two of them, the towering mountain that was a thousand meters tall had already sunk. The ground within a dozen kilometers was rapidly sinking, as if the end of the world had arrived. It was a spectacular sight.
In the distance, a white figure silently arrived and stopped to watch from afar. It was the ancestor of the Jiede family, Jiede Tai. He had also been attracted by the huge commotion.
"That golden-clothed young man has an aura that only Magical Beasts possess, and those that can transform into human form are all Magical Beasts of the seventh rank. That's actually a seventh rank Magical Beast. Could it be that his original form is the ancient Golden-Striped Silver Snake?" Jiede Tai stared at the golden-robed youth and whispered with curiosity. Golden-striped Silver Snakes were extremely rare on the Tian Yuan Continent. He had lived for so long, but he had only heard of them and had never seen one. Today was the first time he had seen one, and it was a Class 7 Magical Beast.
"If it were a Class 6 Silver Striped Golden Snake, a Saint Ruler could use Spatial Force to keep the venom at bay. But if it were a Class 7 Silver Striped Golden Snake, then a Saint ruler's Spatial Force would no longer have any advantage. aside from its venom, the Silver Silver snake's battle prowess. I wonder if Jianchen's a Class 7 Silver Striped Silver Snake. Jiede Tai muttered under his breath. A Rank 7 Silver Striped Golden-Striped Snake was giving him a headache. However, when he thought of Jian Chen's abnormally powerful body, he understood. He said in a low voice, "However, this Jian Chen isn't simple either. His body's defense is abnormally strong. Even my full strength attack couldn't heavily injure him. In my opinion, unless this Golden-striped Silver Snake's strength has reached the Sixth Heavenly Layer, it would be very difficult for it to injure Jian Chen. However, wanting to tame a Golden-striped Silver Snake that has reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer with just this point is simply a fool's dream."
A few kilometers away, Jianchen and the golden-clothed young man hovered a thousand meters in the air, looking at each other from a hundred meters away. Jianchen's expression was the same as usual, appearing extremely calm. However, the golden-clothed young man's eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his expression had become much more serious.
Jianchen before him was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. Although he was confident that his overall strength was much greater than Jianchen's, it would be very difficult for him to kill Jianchen. Snatching the corpse of a fellow Saint from him would not be easy either. What troubled him the most was that Jianchen had actually used the essence blood of a fellow Saint to cultivate a body that was impervious to poison. This prevented him from using his poison at all. This was because Jianchen's blood already possessed a very powerful poison resistance factor. Even though the poison of a Class 7 Magical Beast was much more powerful than that of a Class 3 Magical Beast, it was still unable to harm Jianchen.
"You should understand now. You can't kill me at all, and you can't forcefully take away what I possess. There's only one way to obtain it. Follow me for ten years. Ten years isn't a long time for you. You won't suffer any losses, and you might even profit greatly. Consider it carefully," said Jianchen.
The golden-clothed young man fell silent. The light in his eyes constantly flickered. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Jianchen waited for a while before continuing, "I'm very pressed for time. I don't have that much time to waste here. I'll give you ten more minutes to consider. If you're unwilling, I'll just take the item and leave, and you'll lose the chance to obtain what I possess. Once I set foot in the human world, it'll be very difficult for you to find me."
The golden-clothed young man clenched his fists tightly. His eyes flickered with scarlet light as slivers of killing intent leaked out.
Jianchen sneered when he sensed the killing intent in the golden-clothed young man's eyes. He said, "I know your true strength isn't limited to this, but you must have seen how powerful my body is as well. It's impossible for you to kill me, or even heavily injure me. If I want to leave, you won't be able to stop me at all. Not to mention, I have a powerful expert with me."
"Human, I'm a magical beast. If I follow you to the human world, aren't you afraid of causing trouble for you?" The golden-clothed young man asked coldly.
Jianchen shook his head. "There are many magical beasts in the human world as well, and there's no lack of powerful magical beasts among them. Although I know that there's a treaty between humans and magical beasts, this treaty is limited to the Gilligan clan. You're not a member of the Gilligan clan, so if you follow me to the human world, the human experts won't cause trouble for you."
"You sure know a lot, but how do you know I'm not a member of the Gilligan clan?" The golden-clothed young man asked.
Jianchen smiled faintly, "The treaty between us humans and the Gilligan clan forbids the Class 7 Magical Beasts of the Gilligan clan from taking a single step out of the depths of the Cross Mountains. However, you're a Class 7 Magical Beast, yet you're cultivating in the outskirts of the Cross Mountains. You're even calmly fighting against me. You're not worried about the human experts causing trouble for you at all. If I still can't guess that you're not a member of the Gilligan clan from this, then I'd be far too stupid."
"You've guessed correctly. I really am not a member of the Gilligan clan." A sliver of disdain appeared in the young man's eyes as soon as the Gilligan clan was mentioned. He said, "The Gilligan clan is only a chess piece that the Beast God Continent has planted on the Tian Yuan Continent. How can I, the great Nubis, become a chess piece for someone else?" The young man held his head high. His face was filled with pride.
Jianchen felt the urge to laugh as soon as he heard the words' the great Nubis'. The Golden-striped Silver Snake before him seemed to be very prideful, treating him like a noble young master. However, he had the right to be prideful. Not only was he powerful, but he was also a beast of antiquity.
"It's already been a little over half the time. Have you made up your mind?" Jianchen asked.
The golden-robed young man fell silent. He was born with a sense of pride and would never lower himself to be someone's lackey. However, he really did desire the corpses of his own kind very much because the corpses of his own kind possessed essence that only he could sense and absorb. The essence was just too important to him, so he could not give it up.
"Alright, human. You win. I, the great Nubis, will temporarily follow you for ten years. Once the ten years are up, we will have nothing to do with each other." A while later, the young man finally compromised. The temptation of the corpses of his own kind was just far too great. He could not refuse at all.
"Alright, it's a deal." Jianchen was overjoyed. With the addition of a Class 7 Magical Beast, his strength had taken a qualitative leap once again. A large sect like the Dragon and Tiger sect no longer posed any threat to Jianchen.
"However, we need to make things clear first. During the ten years that I follow you, you cannot make me do anything that is devoid of conscience and provoke the Celestial's Decay. At the same time, I have the right to refuse things that I don't want to do," the young man said.
Jian Chen thought about it for a while before nodding in agreement. He said, "No problem. I can promise you that. However, you can't just stand by and watch when we encounter difficulties and need your help."
"Alright, deal!" The young man agreed very straightforwardly to Jianchen's suggestion.
Jianchen revealed a happy smile. Although the young man could only follow him for ten years, it was enough for him to do many things.
Jianchen took out the corpse of the Golden-striped Silver Snake he had obtained a few years ago from his Space Ring and tossed it to the young man, "This is yours."
The corpse of the Golden-striped Silver Snake hovered before the young man. He stared at the corpse of his own kind with burning desire as unconcealable excitement filled his face. Afterwards, he looked at Jianchen and said, "Do you trust me that much? Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word?"
"You're a member of the royal family of snakes. You possess an innate pride, so you'll naturally keep your word. I believe that you're not someone who goes back on his word," said Jianchen.
