Chapter 484 Attempting to Cover Up Only Makes It More Obvious; Manipulating Antares
The skeletal armor remained silent, clearly indicating that these purple charged crystals meant no harm.
Jiang Chen felt a warm current surging through his body. The tingling sensation brought by the weak electric current was not painful, but rather a little itchy.
Then, system notifications flooded in.
"Electrical element immunity cap increased by 1%".
"Electrical element immunity cap increased by 1%".
……
The same message kept popping up, indicating that the maximum level of electrical immunity had increased by 10%.
Jiang Chen remembered that he had been subjected to countless baptisms of fire in the volcanic area, which increased his electrical immunity from 50% to 80%.
After that, progress stagnated.
He knew all too well that immunity to any element was an insurmountable chasm at 80%.
Unless there is a special opportunity, it is almost impossible to break through this limit.
However, at this moment, this upper limit was broken, and the immunity to electric elements jumped from 80% to 90%.
If he finds a suitable treasure, his immunity to electric elements can reach an astonishing 90%.
Jiang Chen understood that this must be the reward for successfully crossing the square.
This reward is undoubtedly priceless for professionals who pursue the ultimate and aspire to become extraordinary.
In addition to being immune to electric elements, Jiang Chen also possesses the spinal cord of a highly venomous dragon, which may further increase his immunity to poison elements.
However, the exact extent of the improvement can only be determined by trying it out for yourself.
After all the crystals were fully integrated into Jiang Chen's body, the light in the square quickly faded, and he successfully arrived in front of the giant crystal.
The crystal stands majestically, reaching a height of five meters.
Jiang Chen could clearly sense that the crystal contained an indescribable, terrifying energy.
This energy seemed to have a similar effect to some kind of power he had encountered before.
Through the transparent crystal, a bead lies quietly inside, emitting a faint glow.
The moment Jiang Chen saw the bead, memories flooded back, and he immediately recognized the source of the energy—it was exactly the same as the bead Jiang Yi had given him.
The two beads are strikingly similar in both their energy content and appearance.
The deal between Antares and Jiang Yi back then was to find such a bead.
Even now, Antares's deal with himself is still aimed at finding such a bead.
"What exactly is the significance of this bead to Antares? And what is its true purpose?"
Jiang Chen's eyes were filled with doubt.
He knew nothing about the function of the beads, not even the learned Li Xueru.
Antares obviously wouldn't reveal the secret.
But one thing is certain: this bead is of great significance to Antares.
Jiang Chen stopped investigating, took out the blood given to him by Antares, and gently placed it on the crystal.
The thin membrane covering the fresh blood broke at the slightest touch, and a refreshing fragrance immediately filled the air.
"It smells so good!"
Jiang Chen took a light breath and felt refreshed, as if he were floating on air.
Antares's blood had such an alluring fragrance.
Jiang Chen even had an urge to take a bite.
The blood quickly seeped into the crystal, and then, under Jiang Chen's gaze, the crystal slowly melted.
Jiang Chen had already prepared an exquisite box. The moment the crystal completely melted and revealed the bead inside, he swiftly reached out and firmly grasped the bead in his hand.
He once held the bead given to him by Jiang Yi, and compared to the one before him, the two were exactly the same, without any difference.
Jiang Chen examined it carefully for a long time, but he was still completely baffled and couldn't figure out what secret it held. "You brat, you found that divine pearl?"
Antares's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
The voice didn't seem to come from the outside world, but rather echoed directly in Jiang Chen's mind.
In this space where sound cannot travel, Antares communicated with Jiang Chen using mental means.
Jiang Chen was already used to this; he knew Antares would always find a way to contact him.
He responded in kind with his mental power, "That's right, I've found it."
At this moment, the divine pearl suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and complex lines appeared on its surface.
These lines intertwine to form a mysterious and difficult-to-understand rune.
Antares's voice rang out again, "Then come back as soon as possible and activate the teleportation array on the Divine Pearl. You can return directly to the upper space." Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, "I still have some things to take care of in the lower space. I'll go back after I've finished them."
Antares fell into a long silence.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
"It seems that this divine pearl is of great significance to Antares."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't have hesitated so much."
"However, it probably won't force me to go back immediately. To appear more relaxed, it will let me arrange my own time."
Jiang Chen secretly speculated in his heart, imagining Antares's next reaction.
Sure enough, after a moment, Antares's voice rang out again, "Very well, then you can come back after you've finished dealing with things in the lower space. Remember, you can activate the teleportation array on the Divine Pearl at any time, and it will take you back to the upper space."
"Once you come back, I will fulfill all the promises I made to you. You have passed my little test this time, so we can have a good talk and make a real deal."
Antares's answer was exactly the same as Jiang Chen's guess.
In fact, Jiang Chen could already sense that Antares valued the Divine Pearl far more than he had imagined.
But it deliberately acted casually, describing the transaction as a small test.
Jiang Chen sneered inwardly. How could he not see through this attempt to cover up the truth?
Jiang Chen replied in a low voice, "Okay, I'll be back after I've finished taking care of things."
After saying that, he carefully put the Dragon Ball away.
Having the Dragon Balls in his possession undoubtedly added an extra layer of protection for him.
Now, he can choose to return to the upper space or explore the deep abyss.
Another way out has been found.
After the crystal completely melted, a cave entrance was revealed, which had been completely hidden by the crystal.
Jiang Chen sensed a strange aura emanating from the depths of the cave. This aura was familiar to him and seemed to be closely related to some mysterious power.
Recalling the various signs in the Burial Thunder Canyon, Jiang Chen gradually formed a guess in his mind.
Without much hesitation, he ordered several skeleton berserkers to clear the way ahead, and followed closely behind, stepping into the cave.
At the same time, somewhere deep within the ancient battlefield, a sharp howl suddenly rang out.
The howl was as sharp as a blade, tearing through the constraints of space and reaching into the abyss.
In the heart of the abyss, the Demon Emperor's palace began to tremble violently, as if it had been subjected to some kind of intense impact.
The phantom of the Demon Emperor emerged from the darkness of the abyss, its voice cold and majestic, echoing throughout the entire abyss.
"Investigate! Who has been to the Ancient Battlefield, the Lower Dimension, and the Thunder Burial Canyon in the past few days!"
The sound, like thunder, exploded in the abyss, echoing again and again.
The fury contained within it instilled fear in all the demons of the abyss.
The cowardly demons were already kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, not daring to move an inch.
The Black Demon King frowned, realizing that the person the Demon Emperor was looking for was Jiang Chen.
His own clone was poisoned to death outside the Thunder Burial Canyon, and this matter has been widely spread throughout the Abyss.
The Succubus Queen, in particular, spread the word about Jiang Chen's exploits in the Thunder Burial Canyon, and now many Demon Kings know about it.
However, this time the Dark Demon King chose to remain silent. It knew the Demon Emperor would soon receive the news, as many would leak Jiang Chen's whereabouts to him. The Succubus Queen was one of them, and she would certainly not let this opportunity slip by.
Sure enough, within minutes, the Demon Emperor learned the truth.
"Kill Jiang Chen at all costs! The victor will be rewarded with a magic treasure!"
The Demon Emperor's new decree spread like thunder throughout the entire Abyss, shaking all the Abyss Demon Kings.
Once the Demon Emperor's order is issued, it means that a manhunt has been launched throughout the entire Abyss.
Such a thing is rare even in the history of the Abyss.
The demons couldn't fathom what Jiang Chen had done to warrant the Demon Emperor issuing a kill order.
The Black Demon King trembled, a strong desire surging within him, "It's actually a treasure of the laws as a reward..."
It knew all too well the preciousness and power of the Law Treasure and had long coveted it. The Rotting Demon King beside it sneered, "The Demon Emperor has certainly gone all out this time, but Jiang Chen is no easy opponent. I'm afraid this Law Treasure won't be so easy to obtain."
The Black Sky Demon King sneered, "Indeed, Jiang Chen is troublesome. Rotten Demon King, are you interested in giving him a try?"
The Rotten Demon King shook his head. "I still prefer to study my way of poison. Let others handle this fighting and killing."
The Black Demon King's eyes were gloomy, and he was plotting to take Jiang Chen's life if he had the chance.
But he also knew that Jiang Chen's strength was not to be underestimated, and killing him would not be easy.
In the succubus's palace, she lay languidly on her throne, her posture alluring and seductive.
Shadai stood respectfully to the side. "Demon King, shall we also participate in this operation?"
The Succubus Queen scoffed, "Going to his death? What exactly did Jiang Chen do in the Thunder Burial Canyon to enrage the Demon Emperor so much? But the more he does, the more troublesome he is."
"Believe me, we can't kill him. Being his enemy will only bring us danger."
"It's fine as it is now, let those guys go to their deaths."
Shadai believed the Succubus King's words without a doubt, and she was also well aware of Jiang Chen's strength and methods.
In her heart, the thought of killing Jiang Chen had long since vanished.
Now that the Succubus Queen hasn't ordered a pursuit, she feels much more at ease.
She never wanted to experience Jiang Chen's terrifying nature a second time.
The cave was not as dark as I had imagined.
Faint electric flashes constantly flowed along the cave walls, bringing a sliver of light into the cave.
Jiang Chen noticed that there were many fist-sized crystals embedded in the cave wall.
He stepped forward for a closer look and saw that the crystal was marked with information:
"Electric Element Essence: Contains the purest electric element energy in the world, which can permanently enhance the holder's electric element immunity."
