Chapter 797: Chapter 794: Chrysanthemums Bursting Across the Hills!

So the life gate is inside the chrysanthemum!

Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, shimmering with intense, compelling sharpness.

Although the Stone Dragon was a consciousness-lacking golem, being stared straight at its chrysanthemum by Li Chen, it also flew into a rage on the spot.

“Roar!”

It let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar and charged at Li Chen like a bolt of thunder.

“Get back!”

Li Chen’s arms opened wide, pushing Lian Hongshang to a safe area.

Immediately after, he stepped on the Unrivaled Immortal Shoes and, like a lightning-fast wraith, dashed across.

“Boom rumble!”

The Stone Dragon’s earth-splitting strike brushed past Li Chen, smashing a bottomless hole into the ground.

“Thunderbolt Fist!”

Li Chen spun in the air, clenching his fist, which was wrapped in lightning, and slammed it with overwhelming force onto the back of the Stone Dragon.

“Boom rumble!”

The punch, like thunder exploding, struck the Stone Dragon. It clashed with the millennia-old Mystic Iron, creating a cacophony of thunderous sparks.

“Humph, this guy has an undying body, your attack is purely just tickling him!”

Seeing that Li Chen’s just-spoken big words were very satisfying, but this punch had no substantial effect, the Little Demon Immortal immediately sneered.

“You don’t need to worry about that, Little Demoness, just remember the promise you made!”

Li Chen casually retorted, and continued to hammer his fists on the area above the Stone Dragon’s tail vertebrae.

The Stone Dragon’s massive body appeared extremely clumsy compared to Li Chen.

And Li Chen’s position was consistently behind it, making it utterly out of reach for the Stone Dragon to attack, significantly reducing its offensive power.

Thus, in its rage, the Stone Dragon lifted its tail, wielding a thousand pounds of force, and swept it towards Li Chen.

Seeing this, Li Chen was overjoyed.

The opportunity has arrived!

His eyes locked onto the Stone Dragon’s tailbone. In midair, he summoned the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, which glittered with cold light.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chen, with both hands gripping the sword, used the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword at his core to form a whirlwind storm, stabbing fiercely towards the Stone Dragon’s chrysanthemum.

Despite wielding the tens of thousands of pounds heavy Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, Li Chen’s speed was still lightning-fast, reaching a terrifying speed ten times the speed of sound.

Therefore, before the Stone Dragon could react, the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword had accurately penetrated its target.

“Boom!”

A thunderous explosion rang through the heavens, and the chrysanthemum burst open, spreading through the mountains and valleys.

The Stone Dragon’s sphincter tightened ferociously, and it let out a scream of either comfort or pain.

“Die for me!”

Li Chen immediately detonated the Crystal Core within the Stone Dragon’s body, echoing across the sky like a nuclear explosion.

In the blink of an eye, the once invincible Stone Dragon was soul-crushingly obliterated, shattering into countless stone fragments scattered everywhere.

Witnessing such an incredible scene, the Little Demon Immortal instantly covered her mouth in shock. Only one thought filled her mind: This TMD works, isn’t it too freaking sneaky?

Li Chen retracted the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, wearing a harmless smile, and looked towards the Little Demon Immortal.

“Little Demoness, what do you think?”

The Little Demon Immortal’s face flushed with embarrassment as she grudgingly waved her delicate hand and said, “Hmph, consider it your win!”

No sooner had she spoken than her beautiful large eyes lit up with excitement upon seeing the skeleton within the Stone Dragon, which was surprisingly well-preserved.

She looked up at Li Chen and said, “I promise you one thing, but I get to keep the spoils of war!”

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, as if to say he didn’t mind and she could do as she pleased.

Seeing that Li Chen wasn’t stopping her, the Little Demon Immortal activated her Lotus Platform, sucking the Stone Dragon’s skeleton into it.

Li Chen eyed the Lotus Platform and thought to himself: So it turns out this is a Space Treasure as well; it’s really quite versatile!

After defeating the Stone Dragon, Li Chen, Lian Hongshang, and the Little Demon Immortal headed straight into the Death Castle.

Inside, there were weathered stone figures everywhere; some lying, some sprawling, some prostrate, some kneeling. Men were seen guarding women, and women shielding children.

Although it was unknown how much time had passed, one could still perceive the fear and despair they experienced in the moment before their death.

Lian Hongshang asked, “What in the world happened here? How did so many people die?”

The Little Demon Immortal propelled her Lotus Platform and floated onto an ancient, dark stele.

“Look quickly, there seems to be something here!”

However, the writing on it was in the form of strange, undecipherable tadpole characters, completely incomprehensible to her.

Li Chen looked solemn, gently caressing the stele with his hand.

Even though it had been thousands of years, he could still distinctly feel an overwhelming resentment contained within it.

“What’s up, any findings?” the Little Demon Immortal and Lian Hongshang asked in unison, seeing the solemn look on Li Chen’s face and sensing that something was amiss.

Li Chen patted his hands and said, “It says here that a Heavenly Pride of the Demon Clan fell here. Eight million living beings were slaughtered, to serve as a warning to others!”

“Ah?”

Lian Hongshang and the Little Demon Immortal both exclaimed in shock almost at the same time. Unbelievable shock was written all over their lovely faces.

“The Demon Clan, what kind of race is that? How come I’ve never heard of it?” the Little Demon Immortal inquired, her sapphire eyes fixated on Li Chen without blinking.

Li Chen looked down at the Little Demoness and explained, “The Demon Clan is from the outer space realms; they don’t conduct their affairs here. It’s perfectly normal for you not to have heard of them.”

After Li Chen’s explanation, the Little Demon Immortal appeared somewhat displeased and started questioning him with a pouted mouth.

“What do you mean by that? What’s this ‘perfectly normal for you not to have heard of them’? If this Demon Clan doesn’t conduct their affairs here, then how do you know about them?”

Looking at the Little Demon Immortal like an adult watching a kindergarten child, Li Chen slightly smiled and said, “That’s my business, it has nothing to do with you!”

Being a proud Demon Princess, the Little Demon Immortal, who had always held herself in high esteem, could not tolerate Li Chen’s arrogance, and she instantly flew into a rage.

“Ah ah ah, just who do you think you are, huh? Why can’t I rival you?”

As the Little Demon Immortal thrashed about, Li Chen simply held down her little head and said earnestly, “Calm down, there’s a very powerful forbidden force here. A single misstep, and we could all die in this place!”

“Hmph, die then die, who’s afraid? It’s not like I haven’t died before!”

Though she spoke in this manner, the Little Demon Immortal did indeed calm down, just as Li Chen had suggested.

Immediately after, she began scrutinizing the ancient, dark stele curiously, like a baby discovering a new toy.

“Are you sure you’re not mistaken? Does it really say on this stele that a Heavenly Pride from the Demon Clan has perished here, slaying eight million with a single hand?”

Li Chen did not speak but nodded affirmatively.

Upon receiving Li Chen’s positive confirmation, the Little Demon Immortal couldn’t help but gasp.

“Ssss, just for the fall of a single Heavenly Pride from their clan, eight million were slaughtered—this Demon Clan is truly ferocious!”

Li Chen patted his hands and said indifferently, “What’s so surprising about that? Compared to the Bloodline, the Demon Clan is just child’s play. If the Bloodline were enraged, the corpses wouldn’t just be in the millions. The number of lives lost would be calculated in the hundreds of millions!”
