Chapter 505 That's impossible! There are things you don't know.
Antares was still sleepy, his eyelids trembling slightly, as if he was saying his final goodbye to his dream.
It was not fully awake, but a hint of expectation flickered in its eyes.
Not far away, a spacetime vortex slowly formed, emanating the familiar Dragon Ball aura.
Jiang Chen is about to return, bringing with him the Dragon Ball that belongs to Antares.
A moment later, Jiang Chen's figure appeared from the space-time vortex.
At this moment, Antares closed its eyes, deliberately feigning nonchalance. However, its constantly twitching eyelids subtly revealed its inner excitement.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. This being, which had existed for countless ages and was unimaginably powerful, was now acting like a child.
It came back on its own, how could it not know?
Isn't it just trying to tell itself that the Dragon Balls aren't actually that important to it, so as to avoid making exorbitant demands during the transaction?
Jiang Chen decided to play along with Antares's performance and deliberately raised his voice, saying, "Antares, wake up, I'm back."
Antares seemed not to hear and remained motionless.
Jiang Chen raised his voice and called out twice more, "Antares, wake up, I'm back."
This time, Antares finally reacted. It slowly opened its eyes, its dragon eyes, much larger than Jiang Chen's entire body, revealing a hint of laziness and mockery.
"Oh, you're back," it said casually, as if Jiang Chen's return was just a trivial matter.
Jiang Chen smiled gently and showed the Dragon Ball in his hand to Antares, "I have brought back the Dragon Ball you wanted."
Antares gave a soft hum, without saying anything more, and simply opened its mouth slightly, and the Dragon Ball flew into its mouth automatically.
Although its movements seemed casual, Jiang Chen keenly sensed its inner urgency. This dragon ball was clearly very important to Antares, but for some reason that Jiang Chen couldn't understand, it couldn't retrieve it itself and could only rely on external forces.
Such transactions appear to have been going on for many years.
Jiang Yi, whom Antares had met before, had also retrieved the Dragon Ball for Antares.
As for whether anyone else had made similar deals with Antares, Jiang Chen had no idea.
Antares was notoriously arrogant, seemingly intolerant of anyone. Even Ao Hongchen, who was once on par with Hong Jishi, never gained its favor. Powerful figures like Hong Jishi and Li Xueru were nothing more than ordinary people in Antares's presence.
Antares gave a soft hum, and a gust of wind suddenly swept up, almost blowing Jiang Chen away.
Immediately afterwards, chunks of solidified Fire God's essence blood flew neatly to Jiang Chen's front.
“This is the final payment for the transaction,” Antares said, his voice calm yet authoritative.
Jiang Chen didn't stand on ceremony and directly put away the solidified Fire God's essence blood. There were 100 pieces in total, a considerable quantity. With them, Jiang Chen could summon the Flame Lich 100 times and unleash 100 attacks at the pseudo-god level.
However, with Jiang Chen's mastery of the corpse of the God of Poison, his need for the essence blood of the God of Fire has greatly decreased.
Antares's voice suddenly deepened, "Our first deal is complete, and you've passed my test. Now, we can talk about the real deal." But Jiang Chen interrupted him, "Antares, before we discuss the deal, I have some questions for you."
Antares frowned. "Another problem? You should know that every answer I give comes at a price. This time, I can use the answer as a deposit for the second transaction."
Jiang Chen shook his head. "No, not this time."
Antares was instantly enraged, unleashing a violent aura. His enormous dragon eyes stared intently at Jiang Chen. "Boy, do you know who you're talking to? No one has ever dared to negotiate with me!"
Jiang Chen was not afraid at all. "I didn't have that before, but I do now. You say I passed your test, but you haven't passed mine yet."
Antares glared at Jiang Chen as if she wanted to devour him alive. "You say you've passed my test, but I haven't passed yours? Hmph, what a joke! What is your test?"
Jiang Chen spoke calmly, "Don't you pride yourself on knowing everything?"
Antares stood tall and proud, his voice full of confidence, "Of course, there's nothing in this world that I don't know."
Jiang Chen shook his head slightly. "During the first transaction, I asked you a question, but your answer was wrong."
Antares's expression changed, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. "Impossible! My answers have never been wrong!"
Seeing Antares's angry expression, Jiang Chen knew he had successfully piqued its curiosity.
He continued, "What if you're wrong?"
Antares took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his dragon eyes. "If I'm wrong, I will answer your questions truthfully from now on. But if you dare to deceive me, I will make you pay the price!"
"It's a promise, and I will never go back on it!" Jiang Chen's voice was firm and powerful.
“It’s a deal!” Antares replied without hesitation.
It has lived for countless years, witnessed the vicissitudes of the world, and believes that nothing can escape its understanding.
Jiang Chen then took out a bottle of pale green liquid from his spatial ring. "You should know what this is, right?"
Antares's dragon eyes were fixed on the bottle of liquid. The next moment, its body suddenly tensed up, and its voice was full of vigilance, "This is... Corpse Poison!"
Jiang Chen knew that Antares definitely recognized the Corpse Poison. This bottle of Corpse Poison powder was taken from Situ Yu's mother's wound and was a low-level Corpse Poison.
"You told me last time that there was no cure for the corpse poison, right?" Jiang Chen asked.
Antares answered without hesitation, "The Corpse Poison comes from a very terrifying forbidden skill, and there is indeed no cure."
Jiang Chen opened the bottle, a movement that caused Antares to shrink back even further. This action made Antares tense up again, and it asked warily, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, I just want to prove something."
As he spoke, he gently poured out some of the Fountain of Life and dripped it onto the back of his hand.
Antares was dumbfounded; what Jiang Chen had done was completely beyond its comprehension.
Its huge dragon eyes were wide open, seemingly unable to comprehend what was happening before its eyes.
"What...what are you doing?" Antares's voice trembled slightly.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and shook his head. "You just need to watch."
As he spoke, he poured some of the corpse poison onto his hand.
Antares's eyes widened; Jiang Chen's actions exceeded its wildest imagination. Its massive head couldn't comprehend it. "Are you courting death?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, "You just watch and see."
After a while, Jiang Chen frowned. "Why isn't it working?"
Only then did he realize that he was not only immune to all abnormal conditions, but also now 100% immune to toxic elements.
Whether the corpse poison is a poison or an abnormal state, it has no effect on oneself.
Antares was stunned. "You... how come you weren't poisoned? This corpse poison is fake? That's impossible!"
"I'll tell you in a bit!" After figuring it out, Jiang Chen reluctantly summoned a skeleton and poured the corpse poison on it.
He originally didn't want to use a skeleton to test the poison.
Now, the Lich General's skills can be inherited and used on oneself, including the ability to cure poison.
Unfortunately, they ended up using skeletons anyway.
The skeleton was immediately poisoned after being sprayed with the putrefied corpse poison.
His entire body emitted the black aura characteristic of corpse poison.
Jiang Chen said, "My skeleton is now infected with corpse poison, right?"
Antares was completely baffled by Jiang Chen and instinctively nodded, "That's right."
At this moment, Jiang Chen summoned another lich general.
As a white light flashed, the putrefactive poison on the skeleton vanished instantly.
The skull was eerily white, bearing no resemblance to the putrid poison.
Antares blinked repeatedly, unable to believe what he was seeing. "This... can't be."
"This can't be right, this is impossible!"
It kept repeating itself, basically refusing to believe what it was seeing.
Jiang Chen said, "The facts are right in front of us. I can cure the incurable corpse poison you mentioned."
"I originally wanted to use myself as a test subject, but I can't be poisoned anymore."
Antares looked over immediately. "Yeah, why aren't you afraid of the corpse poison?"
Jiang Chen said, "My passive skill grants immunity to all abnormal statuses, and my poison immunity reaches 100%."
Antares let out another strange cry, "Impossible, there's no way such a skill exists, and the human race's elemental immunity cap is 90%, how could there be 100% immunity?"
Antares finally came to its senses and stared intently at Jiang Chen. "You... how were you able to do all this? What's so special about your body?"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "That's my secret. Besides, don't you also have things you don't know?" Antares was speechless for a moment. It had lived for countless years and considered itself an omniscient being.
However, today, Jiang Chen shattered its understanding twice in a row.
This made it begin to doubt whether it really knew everything.
