Chapter 3226 – Molten Lava
But when all was said and done, the Monk Tyrant had killed the honorable Divine Envoy of the Futu Pagoda, and that showed Jiang Chen’s nerve. From beginning to end he had not even frowned, as if that guy’s death had nothing to do with him at all. Even the people of the Guandong Sect had been wiped out by them. These few people were truly terrifying. One had to know that those seven Half-step Divine Emperor experts were nearly half of the Guandong Sect’s top fighting strength, and yet in the end they had still lost.
“Can you split this meteorite apart?”
Tantai Jingzang looked at Jiang Chen and asked.
“That’s not something you need to worry about.”
Jiang Chen said calmly. Being ignored by Jiang Chen made Tantai Jingzang even angrier. No one had ever dared to ignore her before. This guy was simply too detestable.
“Otherwise, why don’t we take this meteorite back to our Fossil Sect first? It won’t be too late to split it there.”
Sun Xiaolong said with a smile.
“Take it back to your Fossil Sect first? Heh, don’t blame me for not trusting you. Even if you let me leave, I might not be able to get out. Would this meteorite still end up in my hands then? Master Wu, I don’t think you’ll argue with what I just said, will you?”
Jiang Chen said with a cold smile.
Wu Zhentian smiled awkwardly. Indeed, as long as Jiang Chen was not a fool, he would never take the meteorite to the Fossil Sect, because then he would certainly never get it out again. Even if they themselves did not go back on their word, there was no guarantee that the old fogeys of the sect would not throw a fit and act shamelessly. That was not impossible at all.
“Little friend Jiang Chen is joking. Heh, then how should we split this meteorite?”
Wu Zhentian said with a smile.
At that very moment, Jiang Chen reached out his hand and gripped. The instant the Heavenly Dragon Sword appeared, the faces of Wu Zhentian and Tantai Jingzang changed drastically. They had never expected Jiang Chen to have such an incredibly terrifying, peerless divine sword. This sword was simply too terrifying. It was definitely no lower than a Primal Origin Treasure, far beyond what an ordinary Origin Divine Tool could compare to. One had to know how strong Jiang Chen was, and yet he had a divine weapon at the level of a Primal Origin Treasure. It made no sense at all. Even among Divine Emperor Realm experts, not everyone had a good Primal Origin Treasure.
Primal Origin Treasures held a huge attraction even for them, so one could imagine the status of a forging grandmaster in the Divine World. Even for a forging grandmaster, forging a single Primal Origin Treasure took at least a thousand years, and the success rate was extremely low, not even one in ten. But the most important thing was still the materials. The materials for forging a Primal Origin Treasure were extremely hard to find. Some even required several materials to be combined before a truly peerless Primal Origin Treasure could be forged.
“Good sword, what a good sword!”
Wu Zhentian could not help praising it. He had not expected that the divine sword in Jiang Chen’s hand would make even his heart tremble. He did not even have a Primal Origin Treasure himself. Truly a young genius without equal! Wu Zhentian’s heart was full of admiration, and even anticipation and excitement. If Jiang Chen took out this Primal Origin Treasure in the Central Region Divine Land, it would surely set off a scramble for it.
“Can you forge divine tools?”
Tantai Jingzang went on asking. The divine weapon in Jiang Chen’s hand was too astonishing. They were a true forging family, but only one forging grandmaster among them had ever been able to forge a Primal Origin Treasure, and that was the strongest founding ancestor of their Fossil Sect. Even then, what he forged was only a divine tool somewhere between a Primal Origin Treasure and a Peak Origin Divine Tool. It could not truly be called a great weapon, and even so the success rate had been extremely low.
“No.”
Once again, Jiang Chen turned Tantai Jingzang down with a single word. Did she think that just because she was pretty, she could do whatever she wanted? He was not falling for it.
Tantai Jingzang was completely speechless. This bastard was simply too much. Why did he keep targeting her? Not only did he have no romantic sense at all, he did not show the slightest tenderness toward a beautiful woman. Ordinary people found it extremely hard just to exchange a couple of words with her, and he, on the other hand, did not care about her at all.
Tantai Jingzang felt some resentment in her heart, but unfortunately Jiang Chen really did have the capital to be arrogant. At the very least, the Monk Tyrant and the others were willing to charge into battle for him. Even if, when all was said and done, his strength was not great, none of that had anything to do with them. Jiang Chen’s strength was low, and he himself did not care about it, so what right did she have to point fingers?
“This divine blade has probably already reached the level of a Primal Origin Treasure, hasn’t it?”
Wu Zhentian swallowed hard, his face full of anticipation and excitement. It had to be said that even he was tempted. But he could not take Jiang Chen’s things, and he would not be able to anyway. It was exactly as he had said before: the common man is innocent, but the jade he carries is his crime. If any Divine Emperor Realm expert saw such a good thing, they would surely spare no cost to seize it.
“Just watch.”
Jiang Chen said calmly. He brought down a single sword strike and sliced off a full third of the meteorite. At that moment, the Heavenly Dragon Sword was still overflowing with radiance, dazzling beyond compare. Cutting the meteorite apart took no more than one strike.
“That’s a third of the meteorite, if anything a bit more. Take it. That part should belong to you. After all, you were the ones who found this place.”
Jiang Chen’s generosity made Wu Zhentian give him a thumbs-up. Such boldness, such nerve. His future achievements would be limitless. It was just that his strength was still too low for now. Gold would always shine sooner or later. Wu Zhentian firmly believed that.
Wu Zhentian did not stand on ceremony and hurriedly put the meteorite away, as if afraid Jiang Chen would change his mind. So much meteorite was truly shocking. What Jiang Chen got was far more than what they got, but there was nothing to envy about it. After all, it was what Jiang Chen deserved.
“Look, what is that?”
Qing Xuan’s eyes lit up as she looked at the meteorite. Inside it, something seemed to be churning back and forth like molten slurry. It also kept spinning like a long snake, a liquid turned into paste!
“What terrifying fire-attribute energy.”
Even Fire Qilin felt his whole body burning hot. There was actually such terrifying fire-attribute energy inside this meteorite. It was truly unheard of.
“What exactly is this? Old Master Wu, do you know?”
Jiang Chen was not quite sure what it was either. It seemed to be some kind of frightening molten lava. Its terrifying heat kept pushing everyone around it back. Only Jiang Chen, inside his Five Elemental Trigram Fire Formation, could withstand it without being affected.
“Hard to say. I’ve never seen it before either. This thing is very strange.”
Wu Zhentian frowned deeply. He did not dare to make any judgment about what this was either, and the smaller piece in his own hands showed no sign of anything like this.
“It should be molten lava inside the meteorite. It will probably solidify before long. It looks like an even higher-quality material.”
Tantai Jingzang said calmly.
“Let’s hope so.”
Jiang Chen said without any change in expression. But at that very moment, the molten lava suddenly shot out and flew straight at Jiang Chen.
