Chapter 836: 643 Breakthrough Sign

"It’s here!"

In the deepest part of the spatial rift, within the witch and demon battlefield, Jiang Chen sensed something and instantly retracted his aura, merging completely with the surrounding void.

Not long after, a buzzing sound approached, as a giant blood-colored mosquito vibrated its wings, breaking through space to arrive.

Buzz... buzz... buzz...

The mosquito was incredibly fast and acted wildly, foregoing even the most basic probing and directly lunging towards the Blood God Child at the center of the starry sky.

"Is this the Mosquito Daoist?"

"How can his cultivation be so weak? He’s almost falling from the realm of an Innate Dao Sovereign."

Hidden in the shadows, Jiang Chen was shocked and couldn’t believe that the blood-colored mosquito appearing before him was the legendary Mosquito Daoist.

This strength, it was far too weak, a far cry from what he had imagined—such might would require no external forces, and Jiang Chen was confident that he could kill him with just three punches.

"Could this be a trick?"

With suspicions in his heart, Jiang Chen dared not act rashly and instead watched the blood-colored mosquito silently.

Swish...

His eyes filled with a faint purple hue, and in an instant, the scene before Jiang Chen changed, and the body of the blood-colored mosquito began to reveal all its secrets to him.

Then, Jiang Chen saw strands of resplendent golden light in the mosquito’s abdomen, the light of Merit, dazzling and brilliant, and exuding a sacred aura.

"There’s no mistake, that’s the aura of the Merit Golden Lotus. This blood-colored giant mosquito is indeed the Mosquito Daoist."

Although Jiang Chen didn’t know what issues the Mosquito Daoist was facing, the fragments of the Merit Golden Lotus in his belly undeniably confirmed his identity.

In fact, even if it were a fake, it wouldn’t matter; as long as the fragments of the Merit Golden Lotus were genuine. After all, Jiang Chen’s target from the beginning was the fragments of the Merit Golden Lotus, not the Mosquito Daoist himself.

"Rise!"

Once he confirmed that what he sought had appeared, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated, fully activating the Minor Cycle Star Array, manipulating the vast starry space, and unleashing boundless power from every direction toward the Mosquito Daoist.

At the same time, a surge of Creation Light streamed from Jiang Chen, and a mass of earthy-yellow vital energy burst forth from within him, pressing down on the Mosquito Daoist.

In the moment that the earthy-yellow cloud appeared, Heaven and Earth trembled, and a mysterious force from all directions converged upon it, elevating its power immensely.

This earthy-yellow cloud was none other than the Soil of Rest, a sacred object of the Human Race. At this moment, as Jiang Chen unleashed it, the Fate of the Human Race responded, bestowing powerful strength upon it.

The Soil of Rest was the rightful sacred artifact of the Human Race; it was the soil used by Empress Nuwa to create humans. This substance had been extinct since the Prehistoric World, but fragments of it had remained in the outer Chaos and had come into Jiang Chen’s possession.

Initially, there were only thirty-six grains of Soil of Rest. Although exceptional, they had little might and were more symbolic than practical.

However, as Jiang Chen nurtured them within his body with his own energy, these grains of Soil of Rest benefited and began to grow, evolving rapidly.

From the original thirty-six grains, they multiplied to seventy-two, then one hundred and forty-four, and continued to increase, reaching three thousand six hundred grains.

While three thousand six hundred grains of Soil of Rest still fell short of its peak state, with the enhancement of the Human Race’s fate, it was powerful enough to rival that of a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure.

...

In the starry sky, the Mosquito Daoist, whose strength was on the verge of falling to the Daoist Venerable Realm, was no match for the might of the Minor Cycle Star Array.

Rumbling...

The stars in motion, endless power converged from all directions, acting upon the Mosquito Daoist and bursting his body apart.

At the same time, the earthy-yellow cloud transformed from the Soil of Rest swept over, enveloping the shattered flesh of the Mosquito Daoist and firmly suppressing it within.

"It’s too simple, completely lacking in challenge." In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen subdued the Mosquito Daoist, completely depriving him of the ability to resist.

The whole process was extremely smooth, hardly consuming any effort; it was so easy that Jiang Chen had the odd sensation of punching cotton. He had thought this would be a grueling battle and had made many preparations accordingly.

In the end, he realized that none of the preparations he had made were actually necessary.

However, this doesn’t mean that the preparations Jiang Chen had made were futile; they still had meaning. At least, they allowed the power of the four grand star charts to merge, achieving the might akin to an Innate Treasure.

Moreover, by absorbing so many star fragments, the Minor Cycle Star Array also underwent many profound changes and became stronger.

These were all Jiang Chen’s gains, even if he hadn’t captured the Mosquito Daoist. Just these gains alone made all his meticulous preparations worthwhile.

"Let me see what exactly has happened to the Mosquito Daoist’s body, how after so many years his strength not only did not increase but also regressed so much."

Taking a step forward, Jiang Chen headed into the starry sky, looking towards the Mosquito Daoist, who was suppressed by the Soil of Rest.
