Chapter 1028: 749 Refining Treasures

The Decimating Light swept forth, a silently traversing, glistening purple that appeared on the forehead of the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon.

However, the next moment, something surprising happened to Jiang Chen. The Decimating Light fell but did not pierce through the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon’s forehead, blocked by its brow bone instead.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed. His strongest power couldn’t even penetrate the flesh of another. Without a doubt, only a significant disparity in strength could lead to this situation.

Compared to the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon, Jiang Chen’s power was indeed much weaker. The Nine-horned Desolate Dragon was among the top Great Divine Transcendents, and even with the power of fate, Jiang Chen could only muster a strength comparable to the Great Completion of Quasi-Saints, the gap was truly vast.

"Haha!"

Jiang Chen’s sudden move also gave the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon a fright, but after seeing that his full blow didn’t even break his own flesh, the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon was stunned for a moment before bursting into loud laughter.

"Haha, you ant, you think you can harm me?"

The Nine-horned Desolate Dragon now felt extremely arrogant, thinking he had overestimated Jiang Chen, who was merely an ant that had reached the level of a Great Completion of Quasi-Saints with the help of external forces. He even worried that such a person could harm him, which was truly laughable.

"Primordial Chaos Dao body, indeed extraordinary!"

In response to the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon’s mockery, Jiang Chen didn’t show too much. Instead, he kept a close eye on the dragon’s forehead. In just a moment, the wound on the dragon’s brow had healed.

One must know that this was an attack formed from all of Jiang Chen’s strength, containing the undying Dao Rhyme. If one were injured by it, it would take a significant toll to heal, as one would need to wear away the innate Dao Rhyme. But for the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon, it only took a breath’s time to recover.

This was exactly the manifestation of his strength far surpassing Jiang Chen’s, as his own power could easily erase Jiang Chen’s Dao Rhyme.

The Primordial Chaos Dao body, undying and indestructible, almost impossible to wear down through endless calamities, and only true Primordial Chaos power or Innate Treasure could destroy it.

Besides, the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon was a primeval Fierce Beast. And Fierce Beasts are known in the Chaos World for their bodily prowess. If the Ancestral Witch’s body is the first in the Chaos World, then the primeval Fierce Beast’s body ranks second.

This was their innate talent, a physical form naturally stronger than other living beings.

From ancient times to the present, it was only Demon Ancestor Luo Hou who, by refining his body with Sha Qi, was comparable to the Ancestral Witches and Fierce Beasts in terms of physical strength. Others, even those in the Great Ancient Buddhism Dao known for their Golden Bodies, were not as strong as the primeval Fierce Beasts.

Of course, now there was Jiang Chen, who had created his own method to counteract the innate laws, not only matching the two in terms of physical strength but also potentially surpassing them.

As a primeval Fierce Beast with the realm of a top Great Divine Transcendent, the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon’s strength was not much less than that of the Ancestral Witches. It was totally normal for Jiang Chen to be inferior to him.

It was no exaggeration to say that the physical body of the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon was comparable to a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure. Without the power of Saints or Innate Treasures, it was basically impossible to breach his defenses. Even if someone managed to break through, it would be difficult to inflict any harm on him, as he could easily recover.

"Kill!"

Seeing that his divine ability was ineffective, Jiang Chen pulled out the Heavenly Dao Hairpin from his head, which transformed into a multicolored longsword and slashed once again towards the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon’s forehead.

Clang~~

The next moment, Jiang Chen felt a colossal force transmit from the longsword in his hand, causing him to stagger back several steps.

The tip of the sword entered the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon’s forehead but was similarly blocked by his brow bone, unable to advance any further.

"What tough bones, able to block even a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, I fear if one were to disassemble his bones, they could produce a top-tier magic treasure of this sort."

Jiang Chen mused; though Fierce Beasts were enemies of heaven and earth, they were also treasures themselves. For cultivators wishing to refine Innate Spiritual Treasures, aside from using those divine items capable of reversing the innate, the simplest method was to hunt Fierce Beasts.

Fierce Beasts, especially those above the level of Innate Dao Sovereigns, were the best materials for refining Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Among the countless Innate Spiritual Treasures between heaven and earth, besides those naturally nurtured by Heaven and Earth, some were forged by the most powerful beings of the Great Ancient times using the remains of powerful Fierce Beasts.

"Kid, don’t bother trying anymore. Even Black Emperor Yu Wang couldn’t kill me, let alone you," said the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon with disdain, mocking Jiang Chen for overestimating himself.

Then, that power which caused him fear once again surfaced on Jiang Chen, making the dragon too terrified to look directly at him.

"This power..."

"This power, it’s the aura of the Chaos Demigod!"

"How can you have the aura of the Chaos Demigod on you?" asked the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon, suddenly realizing something with extreme fear as he thickly addressed Jiang Chen.

Time and again, as he was suppressed by the arm of the Demonic Power of Destruction within Jiang Chen, the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon finally recognized the origin of that power as belonging to the force of the Chaos Demigod.

Boom!

It was at the instant the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon’s voice fell that a towering Sha Qi spread from Jiang Chen’s body, and soon after, an arm wreathed in the energy of destruction emerged from his forehead, hurtling towards the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon.

Seeing that his own strength couldn’t injure the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but use the arm of the Demonic Power of Destruction within his body.

Even if the power of this arm had been almost thoroughly worn away by the Pangu Great God, the residual strength still made it as mighty as an Innate Treasure.

The arm of the Demonic Power of Destruction, while outwardly not much different from that of an ordinary human, was covered in pitch-black scales, its fingers took the shape of beast claws, and there were even five black talons growing from it.
