Chapter 809: 629 Demon God Flesh_2

"Let’s see what kind of treasure you really are," Jiang Chen mused with curiosity. He didn’t rush to the Eastern Sea to search for the Sea Pacifying God Pearl but instead walked towards this piece of black land.

The black continent was vast, only slightly smaller than the Great Thousand Worlds. It would not have been such an arduous task for the ten thousand dragons to drag it back here if it were smaller. It took them several months to haul it back.

The ground was black in color and contained amazing power. Strands of demonic energy rose up, assaulting and distorting the void, as if there was a tendency to transform into the Demon Domain.

"That feeling, it’s so familiar..."

"Where have I seen a treasure with the same aura as this black land before?"

After closely sensing for a moment, Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the black continent felt extremely familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Familiar, Demonic Way..."

With a thought, an ancient beast skin scroll appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand. It was a treasured item he had obtained early on, made from the skin of a Chaos Demigod and contained part of the heritage of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, corresponding to the Four Swords of Slaying Immortals.

"To say its aura is similar is an understatement; it is identical."

Upon comparison, Jiang Chen found that the aura emanating from the black continent was exactly the same as that from the beast skin scroll in his hand. This meant that these two things likely originated from the same being.

"A continent formed from the flesh and blood of the Chaos Demigod?" If the beast skin scroll transformed from the skin of the Chaos Demigod and this black land shared the same origin, what else could it be but a transformation of the Demigod’s flesh and blood?

"If this is the case, then this black continent is also a treasure worth acquiring."

After giving the black continent a thorough look, Jiang Chen made his move, manifesting the Chaos Hole outside his body, which surged forth, starting the size of a person before growing infinitely large, directly swallowing the black continent.

"Refine!"

The Chaos Hole spun, absorbing spiritual energy from all directions, transforming it into tremendous pressure that surged towards the black continent from every direction, intending to refine it.

As the Dao of Pangu became perfection, Jiang Chen grew even stronger, with the power of Heaven and Earth converging on him naturally, augmenting his might.

Additionally, because of his greater strength, he completely suppressed the Chaos Hole. Although he was temporarily unable to refine it fully, he could now control its power.

Boom!

The Chaos Hole spun, and the internal pressure climbed higher and higher, quickly exceeding the black continent’s limit. With a loud boom, the black continent exploded, shattering into countless fragments that were crushed into a lump by the power of Chaos and began to be refined.

One could see strands of pure essence rising up, extracted by the Chaos Hole from the fragments of the black land.

Jiang Chen extended his hand to draw a strand of essence from within the Chaos Hole, holding it before his eyes for a closer inspection.

"Such astonishing power, unrefined as it is, its essential quality has already surpassed that of the Heavenly Earthly Origin. If it continues to be refined, purified further, the power obtained will be of unimaginably high quality."

"This black continent is indeed a transformation of the Chaos Demigod’s flesh and blood; otherwise, it could not possibly contain such astonishing power."

"No wonder the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord chose this place as the main base for the Heavenly Demons. It’s extraordinary. These Heavenly Demons living here year-round, bathing in the aura of the Chaos Demigod day and night, will eventually transform, becoming more perfect, with limitless growth potential."

Through this strand of essence, Jiang Chen confirmed his conjecture: the black continent was indeed formed from the flesh and blood of the Chaos Demigod. It contained a high-level power beyond imagination, transcending the Heavenly Earthly Origin, not of this world but an exceptional treasure from the Great Chaos.

At the same time, Jiang Chen gained a further understanding of the Great Divine Transcendents of the Ancient Era. Even the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, reduced to being sealed, had such a foundation; the treasures at his disposal far exceeded Jiang Chen’s imagination.

What about the other Great Divine Transcendents? Could it be the same for them? Holding in their hands all sorts of world-shocking magic treasures unknown to others?

The Prehistoric World is indeed too mysterious, containing countless treasures. These treasures were not only nurtured by Heaven and Earth but also came from the Divine Artifacts of the Great Chaos, which were left behind by the Chaos Demigods, each possessing the power to defy all common sense.

Because a large number of Chaos Demigods were buried in the Prehistoric World, this caused the Prehistoric World to become very peculiar. The current strongest were only at the Realm of Primordial Chaos, yet the treasures contained within Heaven and Earth surpass this level by far, hidden in various places.

It is these treasures that made the combat power of the Prehistoric World volatile. Many of the Great Divine Transcendents could fight above their levels and obtain strength far beyond their own realm in a short time.

"I am still too young. Compared to those Great Divine Transcendents, I lack much foundation. They have lived in the Prehistoric World for hundreds of millions of years and surely have accumulated a lot of good things, even some that allow them to have no fear of Saints."

"I must be careful when I encounter these people in the future. They may not have many powerful magic treasures, but they certainly possess many peculiar ones."

"Just like this black continent, if detonated directly, it could easily severely injure a Quasi-Saint powerhouse. Even if someone were ruthless enough and willing to sacrifice this black continent at any cost, it might awaken the residual will of the Chaos Demigods, unleashing power that rivals that of Saints."

"The Prehistoric World is dangerous, far more dangerous than it seems on the surface. Some are not Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, but that doesn’t mean they can’t display power comparable to that of Daluo Jinxian."

Jiang Chen felt that those Great Divine Transcendents must all have their last-resort measures, enough to protect themselves in front of Saints. It was simple logic; if Jiang Chen were them, he would do the same.

This is to plan for danger in times of safety. Even if they know Saints won’t strike at them, they still have to be wary because Saints possess the power to easily kill them. Who can guarantee that Saints won’t suddenly turn against them?

Before the incident with the Underworld River Ancestor, perhaps no one worried that Saints might suddenly attack them, but given what happened to the Ancestor, not to be on guard would be naive!

"At the final stages of cultivation, the greatest danger comes not from Heaven and Earth themselves but from beings more powerful than oneself."

"After becoming an Innate Dao Sovereign, one should think of ways to deepen one’s own moat, to become increasingly important to Heaven and Earth, so that others dare not make a move against oneself."

"This is the path of long-term survival for a Daoist Master!"

Jiang Chen suddenly had a realization; to live long as a being beyond Daoist Masters, in addition to enhancing one’s own strength, one needs to work on other aspects, like increasing one’s importance.

If your death meant the destruction of Heaven and Earth, then not only would no one dare to harm you, but they would also try their best to protect you.

"Daoist Masters have an endless lifespan. Their thoughts and perspectives are different from before. The way they approach problems also differs from the past. I should adapt to the Daoist Master’s way of survival as soon as possible."

Daoist Masters have transcended life and death, and time has no meaning for them—spanning millions or even tens of millions of years. Naturally, their perspective on issues changes, as does their way of life. Jiang Chen is in the process of adapting.

Roar!

Just as Jiang Chen was contemplating the Daoist Master’s way of dealing with the world, a sudden change occurred in the deep recesses of the Chaos Abyss where the black continent lay.

As if the most primal force was touched, deep within the continent, the residual will of the Chaos Demigod began to awaken, transforming into a vague beastly shadow, immensely vast, roaring within the Chaos Abyss and emitting a terrifying force.

"The lingering thoughts of a Chaos Demigod? Dead for so many years and still causing trouble, be gone!"

Jiang Chen shook his head, fully activating the Chaos Abyss, which became increasingly terrifying, as if it had morphed into the original point of the universe, pitch black and swallowing everything around it.

The strength of the lingering thoughts of a Chaos Demigod is related to the powers left behind. This Demigod’s lingering thoughts couldn’t even condense a figure, clearly on the verge of collapse, so how much power could it really have? Jiang Chen naturally feared nothing!

ps: I’m probably done for.

Summer has arrived, and every noon, I feel sleepy. I fell asleep again.
