Chapter 1271: Scarlet Gold Ore (Two)

A pinky-sized ball of pure energy hovered in Jian Chen’s hand. It was the strand of emperor’s power he had obtained from Thysnich back in the Octoterra Divine Hall. It had personally been left in Thysnich’s body by the hall master of the Serpent God Hall.

Jian Chen had stored the power in the artifact space since he had obtained it. The artifact spirit had personally watched over it. Jian Chen had only taken it out to use it once against Kaiser. After so much time, he had almost forgotten about it, and only now did he remember it.

All energies besides Jian Chen’s Chaotic Force and Tie Ta’s powers suffered restrictions in the Xuanhuang Microcosm. As soon as it appeared, the strand of emperor’s power quickly began to dissipate.

Jian Chen knew that he could not leave the emperor’s power out for too long. He looked at the region of dust caused by the writhing alligator and charged in without any hesitation. Using the senses of his soul to observe the surroundings, he immediately headed toward the alligator’s head.

The alligator seemed to sense that Jian Chen now possessed a power great enough to threaten it. It temporarily forgot about the excruciating pain of its eye and began to slowly retreat. At the same time, a clear crack rang through the air as its thick and agile tail quickly whipped toward Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s senses had locked onto the tail’s trajectory, allowing him to agilely dodge it. With a flash, he arrived in front of the alligator’s head and struck it with the strand of emperor’s power as quickly as he could. In order to prevent the power from being wasted, Jian Chen attached a sliver of his soul to the power, so that he could control it in crucial moments.

The emperor power shot out extremely quick, targeting the blinded eye of the alligator. The beast wanted to flee, but it was unable to dodge the incoming power due to it being too slow. In the end, the valuable strand of energy struck the eye of the beast with utmost precision.

Boom!

With a heavy sound, the emperor’s power exploded in the beast’s head. The great force caused its head to jolt as bright red and white substances sprayed out from its ears, mouth, nostrils, and eyes.

If the emperor’s power had struck the body of the beast, it probably would only have left behind some shallow wounds, just like what had happened to Kaiser. However, since it hit the alligator’s weakest point, its head exploded,and it suffered fatal damage. Even with its tough body, it could not endure it.

The beast’s body froze. One of its eyes had been destroyed by the explosion of energy and its huge body seemed to have become powerless, collapsing on the ground, dead.

Jian Chen exhaled as he stood beside the alligator’s corpse. He had finally slain a Class 9 Xuanhuang beast, but Jian Chen understood extremely well that if it were not for the emperor’s power, it would have been extremely difficult to kill it even if he ended up blinding both its eyes.

At this moment, a great roar sounded out from afar. Seeing how its companion had died, the alligator fighting Tie Ta immediately charged at Jian Chen with reddened eyes. It did not even pay any attention to Tie Ta on its back.

At this moment, Tie Ta managed to get through its hide as well. He immediately hacked his axe at the flesh of the beast. Although its body was very tough, it was nowhere near as strong as its hide. Blood sprayed all over Tie Ta as soon as the axe struck the wound.

However, Tie Ta’s attack on the wound was no different than scratching an itch to the beast with its thousand-meter-long body.

Tie Ta did not become dejected at all. He had finally broken through the Xuanhuang beast’s hide after much difficulty. He immediately used the wound to his advantage as his axe shone with a golden glow. He hacked at the wound time and time again, without showing any exhaustion.

Jian Chen was the only person present in the beast’s eyes right now. It completely ignored Tie Ta, who was constantly hacking away at it on its back, as his attacks were no different from a mosquito’s sting.

The Xuanhuang beast quickly ran toward Jian Chen as a vast presence radiated from it unknowingly. It locked onto Jian Chen, making him face a mountainous pressure.

Jian Chen stood where he was, unmoving. He stared at the alligator sternly as he pondered how exactly he should deal with it. He was without the emperor’s power now, so the method he had used to deal with the first one would not work. Even if he stabbed its eye and injected Chaotic Force, it would not achieve the expected outcome.

This was because Chaotic Force became very weak against Xuanhuang beasts. Xuanhuang beasts possessed Xuanhuang Qi inside. Even if it was not particularly pure and extremely thin, it was still an energy that stood on equal level with Chaotic Force.

The Xuanhuang beast quickly arrived before Jian Chen and opened its gaping mouth to bite him. The two rows of sharp teeth shone with an icy-cold light. Just looking at them was enough to cause people to shiver.

Seeing how the Xuanhuang beast wanted to eat him, a gleam of light flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes. This time, he did not dodge. Instead, he shot into the alligator’s mouth, like an arrow, before it could bite him, carefully avoiding its sharp teeth. Before the tongue could get to him, he slid down the Xuanhuang beast’s gullet and entered its stomach.

It was pitch-black in the stomach. Jian Chen used his soul to sense the surroundings, understanding the environment he was in. He was covered in stomach acid, which made him feel a burning pain even with his body. However, his third layer Chaotic Body was enough to resist the corrosion.
