Chapter 487 – Dogs Also Have to Pay?
Within a quiet and secluded mountain valley, Jiang Chen sat on top of a big rock with his legs crossed, and he had entered a perfect state of cultivation. Not far away, Big Yellow was walking back and forth, murmuring to himself along the way. Obviously, he wasn’t happy to have to act as Jiang Chen’s guardian once again.
“Damn kid, not only did he rob my war trophy, he also made this master dog stand guard!”
Big Yellow kept complaining about Jiang Chen. However, although he spoke like that, he still stood guard in a responsible and diligent manner.
About twenty minutes later, Jiang Chen woke up from his state of cultivation. His aura had once again become stronger. Not only had he successfully absorbed the Earth Jail innate ability from the Barbarian Earth Bull’s demon soul, he had also formed another 400 Dragon Marks. With that, he now had a total of 19,400 Dragon Marks in his body, and only needed 600 more to reach the Combat King realm.
Although it was just 600 Dragon Marks, which seemed little, it wasn’t easy to achieve. Dragon Marks became more difficult to form as he progressed further on the path of cultivation, especially when at the edge of breaking through; the energy required to form each new Dragon Mark was so much more than the previous one.
However, Jiang Chen didn’t really mind this. With his current strength, he was able to kill Second Grade Combat Kings with ease. He could even fight a Third Grade Combat King without much problems. And, once he broke through to the Combat King realm, Jiang Chen was confident he could kill Third Grade Combat Kings and fight Fourth Grade Combat Kings. This was the incredible strength brought to him by the Dragon Transformation skill.
”How is it?”
Big Yellow rushed over to Jiang Chen’s front and asked.
”I feel great!”
Jiang Chen stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. After obtaining the Earth Jail innate ability, he had no doubt acquired another powerful hidden trick.
“Can you use the Earth Jail innate ability?”
Big Yellow continued asking.
”Of course!”
After saying that, Jiang Chen suddenly stomped the ground. In an instant, a force shot out from beneath the ground and fell onto Big Yellow’s body. With a miserable cry, Big Yellow staggered and was nearly thrown onto the ground once again. If not for Jiang Chen retracting the force before that happened, Big Yellow would certainly have to relive the previous tragedy.
”Damn you, don't you ever do that to me again!”
Big Yellow bared his teeth at Jiang Chen. However, at the same time, a look of excitement flickered within his eyes. He could clearly feel that Jiang Chen’s Earth Jail was much more powerful than the Barbarian Earth Bull’s Earth Jail.
Big Yellow had to admit that Jiang Chen was an abnormal monster. Not only was he able to absorb the bloodline of other demons, he could actually use them with even more power than the original owner of the innate ability. What’s even more depressing was that Jiang Chen only needed twenty minutes to fully absorb an innate ability and turn it into his own. This situation could not be described with the word frightening.
“Using this Earth Jail for a sneak attack is beneficial in every way, but an ability like this does have its weakness.”
Jiang Chen explained, “As this ability utilizes the Earth’s Power, it also means that it only works when the enemy is on the ground. If we’re fighting in the air, this ability is completely useless.”
Every single ability had their own pros and cons, including the Earth Jail. Its weakness was also pretty obvious, especially when at the Combat King realm. Battles at this level would usually occur in the air, because if they fought on the ground, the destruction would simply be too tremendous.
A weakness like this also meant that the Earth Jail could only be used for launching sneak attacks; while the enemy wasn’t prepared at all. However, no matter what, it was a pretty good hidden skill.
Jiang Chen had obtained quite an amazing benefit from the Barbarian Earth Bull. The duo continued their journey and flew toward the Divine Continent. With their incredible speed, it only took them one day to leave the mountain range and arrive at the border of the Divine Continent.
”Finally, I'm back again.”
While hovering in the air, Jiang Chen spread his arms and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath, inhaling the air of this place. It had been one hundred years, and he had been longing to return to this place.
”What, back again?”
Big Yellow was startled as he turned to Jiang Chen and asked.
“Cough… nothing. Don’t you think that the Divine Continent’s natural Yuan energy is very dense?”
Jiang Chen lightly coughed a few times. He knew he had said something he shouldn’t have said, and quickly changed the topic.
“Indeed, the natural Yuan energy here is really dense. Although we’re only at the border, I can feel that it is at least fifteen times denser here than in the Eastern Continent.”
Big Yellow nodded his head and let out a sigh filled with mixed emotions. They were only at the most remote border of the Divine Continent right now, and if they arrived at the heart of the Divine Continent, the natural Yuan energy would be at least one hundred times denser than in the Eastern Continent.
“I think there’s a human city no far away from us. Let’s go there and look for some news, see if we can meet with Brother Yan and the others.”
After saying that, Jiang Chen started flying forwards.
“Buddy, you look like you’re very familiar with the Divine Continent.”
Big Yellow said in a curious manner.
“I found a map of the Divine Continent once, that’s why I have some understanding about its regions. However, that’s all I know.”
Jiang Chen casually shrugged his shoulders.
”A map of the Divine Continent? So, where are we now?”
Big Yellow asked.
