Chapter 831: The Artifact’s Monster Cores (2/2)
The mountainous piles around him were constantly decreased, refined into Chaotic Force by the sword spirits and entering Jian Chen’s dantian. The chaotic neidan in Jian Chen’s dantian slowly began to grow at a visible rate.
After two days, all the mountainous monster cores around him were consumed without a single left. Meanwhile, Jian Chen’s chaotic neidan had grown from the soybean-size to the size of a thumb. The Chaotic Force he gained was extremely limited, less than a hundredth of the energy he absorbed below Mercenary City.
This was because the vast majority of the cores were Class 3, 4 and 5. He had already used up some of the Class 6 Monster Cores before, so there were extremely few left.
Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes. His eyebrows furrowed from worry. Currently, he had consumed all the monster cores on him. Other than the Ruler Armament and the Dragon Slaying Sword, he had nothing else he could refine into Chaotic Force.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Jian Chen’s head. He murmured quietly, “There seems to be quite a few Class 7 Magical Beasts in the artifact space. I wonder if the magical beasts who passed from old age had left behind any cores. If they have…” Slowly, Jian Chen’s eyes glowed brighter and brighter, before he abruptly stood up from the ground, rushing out of seclusion.
“Artifact spirit!” Outside the hall, Jian Chen directly summoned the artifact spirit.
“Master, how may I be of service?” The artifact spirit appeared before Jian Chen soundlessly.
“Artifact spirit, don’t many magical beasts exist in the artifact space? When those magical beasts die, do they leave behind monster cores?” Jian Chen asked hurriedly. His heart was filled with a powerful anticipation.
“There are quite a few monster cores. The cores can only be absorbed by humans, so they’re completely useless to magical beasts. However, after the deaths of their ancestors, many clans of magical beasts would consecrate them. If master needs them, this one can go collect them immediately,” The artifact spirit said.
Jian Chen was ecstatic. His heart could not help but begin thumping heavily. He said urgently, “Artifact spirit, I need large amounts of cores. Collect it for me immediately.”
“Yes, master!”
Afterward, all the clans of magical beasts in the entire artifact space fell into a commotion. The monster cores consecrated in their ancestral halls that were left behind by their ancestors, all flew away. Their halls, which used to be filled with various high class monster cores, had become empty.
This occurred to all the magical beast clans in the artifact space of ranging sizes. All the monster cores kept by those magical beasts flew away under the attention of countless experts, whether high class or low class. There were even several powerful Class 7 Magical Beasts who went to prevent the cores from leaving but as soon as they moved, they were immediately met with the suppression of the artifact space. In the end, they could only watch on helplessly as the monster cores left behind by their ancestors disappeared into the distance.
“It’s sir artifact spirit. Sir artifact spirit has taken away all the monster cores left behind by the ancestors.”
The powerful Class 7 Magical Beasts understood very quickly. Even though there were many beasts who were absolutely infuriated, they did not dare to grumble too much. This was because in this space, the artifact spirit was like a god. He was absolute.
Other than this, several monster cores buried deep within the ground broke out. They all flew towards the central palace. The cores had been accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years. The amount had already reached an extremely terrifying level; other than the tiny portion that was taken by the competitors from the Radiant Saint Master Union, the remaining were all left behind in the space.
Inside the hall, Jian Chen stared blankly at the floor before him. He only saw countless monster cores flying in from outside in a steady, unending stream. They all piled on the ground neatly and in just a few seconds, the monster cores had already formed a small mountain, blocking up the corridors.
“Master, I am currently collecting all the monster cores in this space. There’s no more room here, so I’ve placed the remaining cores in another hall. If master needs them, master can go take them whenever.” A while later, Jian Chen heard the artifact spirit’s voice.
Looking at the surroundings, he saw mountainous piles of monster cores. Jian Chen gulped with some effort. If the cores here were an elephant, the monster cores in his Space Ring would basically be an ant. It was incomparable.
“Artifact spirit, how many high class monster cores are there here in total?” Jian Chen asked with some difficulty.
“Master, in the past hundreds of thousand years, there has been over two thousand Class 8 Magical Beasts and fifty thousand Class 7 Magical Beasts that have appeared in the artifact space in total. Other than the Class 8 Magical Beasts who left a few days ago, the remaining monster cores have all been preserved. As a result, there are over two thousand Class 8 Monster Cores, over fifty thousand Class 7 Monster Cores and an uncountable number below Class 7,” the artifact spirit said.
Jian Chen was completely stunned. Currently, any thought processes in his mind had stopped. Only what the artifact spirit had said echoed through his head.
“Over two thousand Class 8 Monster Cores, over fifty thousand Class 7 Monster Cores. Over two thousand Class 8 Monster Cores, over fifty thousand Class 7 Monster Cores…”
Jian Chen muttered mindlessly; his voice trembled. Currently, euphoria had drowned Jian Chen’s entire spirit. He was drunk in endless joy, unable to return to his senses even after a great period of time.
