Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1773: Chapter 1776: Origin Continent

So naive and innocent!

Jiang Chen glanced at Qian Youde, and this phrase flashed through his mind.

Then he turned to look at Hu Da, suddenly realizing he had made a mistake.

He had kept Qian Youde around to learn more about the Nether Realm, but here he was with a Divine Soul from the Nether Realm, and judging by appearances, Hu Da knew far more than that idiot. So why was he still keeping him?

”Kid, prepare to die! Your physical body and Soul Martial Art Technique are mine!” Qian Youde shouted loudly, his whole body shaking.

Buzz!

A powerful aura emerged, pressing hard towards Jiang Chen’s Divine Soul.

Qian Youde was very confident; Jiang Chen’s Divine Soul was merely a pure Divine Soul. He could shatter it with his aura alone!

Roar!

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar echoed. The True Dragon Martial Spirit moved, its tail lashing out.

Boom!

A burst of air expanded; the dragon tail struck forcefully against Qian Youde’s aura, dispersing it instantly.

”How is this possible? What Martial Soul is this?”

Qian Youde was stunned, exclaiming in surprise. In his understanding, a Martial Soul couldn’t attack effectively on its own!

”It’s meal time!” Jiang Chen spoke calmly.

Roar!

The True Dragon Martial Spirit let out a resounding dragon’s roar, opening its mouth to bite towards Qian Youde!

”Kid, you’re too naive; this is just a Martial Soul, even if it can attack...”

Qian Youde’s eyes revealed a mocking expression as he moved his hands. Streams of aura appeared, and waves of Soul Force surged out, quickly forming an attack.

However, Qian Youde could no longer bring that attack to fruition!

Whoosh!

The True Dragon Martial Spirit opened its mouth and inhaled, absorbing all the Soul Force emanating from Qian Youde!

”Impossible!”

Terror flashed in Qian Youde’s eyes as he screamed in disbelief.

Immediately after, he lost the chance to speak, as the True Dragon Martial Spirit flickered and swallowed Qian Youde whole!

”Who is truly naive?”

Jiang Chen mumbled softly, moving his small hand.

Swish!

The True Dragon Martial Spirit disappeared, having gone to the dantian to transfer energy to the Second Soul.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen flickered and appeared beside Hu Da, staring intently at him.

Panic flashed across Hu Da’s eyes, his throat moved as he anxiously said, ”What do you want? I’ll tell you, if you dare to kill me, the Life Temple won’t let you go!”

”I heard from Qian Youde that the Six Peak Powers of the Nether Realm comprise one island, two sects, and three mountains; it seems there isn’t a Life Temple among them, right?” Jiang Chen taunted Hu Da.

Hu Da’s expression changed slightly, as he raised his head and said loudly, ”Yes, our Life Temple may not be a peak power, but we are among the top ten forces. Our patriarch, a True Essence Realm expert, can crush a Divine Infant Realm with a flick—a force like Cang Ming Sect, where Qian Youde is from, isn’t even fit to carry our shoes. Jiang Chen, you can’t imagine how powerful the Nether Realm is, you...”

”Enough!”

Jiang Chen impatiently waved his hand: ”Stop boasting about your Life Temple. As long as it’s not a top force, I have nothing to fear. With my talent, even if people from the Nether Realm come, in a desperate situation, wouldn’t any peak power accept me if I took refuge?”

Hu Da was taken aback, he hadn’t really considered this before.

If Jiang Chen wished to seek refuge, given his talent, cultivation techniques, or Martial Soul, all would be fiercely sought after by the peak powers!

”Wha-what do you want?”

Hu Da could no longer maintain his bravado. He realized that once the Life Temple couldn’t be used to intimidate Jiang Chen, he was nothing more than fish on the cutting board, at Jiang Chen’s mercy!

Jiang Chen smiled faintly: ”I don’t want anything. I just want to know about the Nether Realm. Of course, if you can tell me how many forces have descended upon the Life Origin Star, that’d be even better!”

Hu Da’s face changed, panic flashing in his eyes.

”We’ve never really had any major conflicts, even our only conflict was because you couldn’t return to your body,” Jiang Chen laughed, noticing the worry in Hu Da’s eyes. ”You mentioned that the Life Temple is one of the top ten forces, and with that True Essence Realm patriarch, I’d also prefer not to provoke you unless necessary. But I need your cooperation!”

Hu Da blinked, feeling that Jiang Chen’s words made some sense. Except for the conflict at the Gene Organization’s headquarters, they didn’t have a life-and-death enmity.

Nodding lightly, Hu Da said slightly relieved, ”The Nether Realm is vast, extremely vast. Before coming to the Nether Realm, I only moved within the Life Temple’s area of influence, so I don’t know much about it.”

”Just tell me what you know!” Jiang Chen said calmly.

Hu Da nodded slightly and began narrating, ”The formation of the Nether Realm is untraceable; the entire Nether Realm is divided into five continents and the endless sea. The five continents are enveloped by the endless sea, with vast oceans separating each continent.”

Jiang Chen was momentarily confused. Vast oceans? And that’s the distance between continents, then... how big is the Nether Realm?

”We all come from the Life Origin Continent, which is among the five!” Hu Da looked at Jiang Chen meaningfully.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback: ”Life Origin Continent? Life Origin Star... Is there a connection?”

”Of course!”

Hu Da nodded, pride flashing in his eyes: ”The Life Origin Star is the origin star of all, while the Life Origin Continent is the only continent connecting to the Life Origin Star. I read in records at the Grand Virtue Gate that there was a collective entry of Martial Artists into the Nether Realm ten thousand years ago, but that was actually the last major migration!”

”Only the last one? What about before...” Jiang Chen frowned, recalling the legend of Pan Gu opening up the world!

”The first time, it was Saint Venerable Pan Gu alone breaking space to enter the Nether Realm!”

Hu Da softly spoke, confirming Jiang Chen’s guess: ”Saint Venerable Pan Gu surpassed the world’s cultivation limit at the time, breaking through space to leave. Later, Nuwa and others left, and gradually more and more people left.”

”As more people left, and as space was broken more frequently, this world’s ability to withstand space breaking weakened, allowing more people to break space and leave.”

”As time passed, this world became less capable of handling Cultivators’ power, and gradually all powerful cultivators went to the Nether Realm, taking root there!”

”Until ten thousand years ago, when spiritual energy here thinned to an unbearable level, causing the cultivation world to leave collectively!”

”Cultivation world, Cultivators, frequent departures...” Jiang Chen muttered lightly as his expression grew peculiar.
