Chapter 2979 – Meeting the Man Within the Dream Once Again

Chen Long’s body was obliterated by the lightning explosion in almost an instant. Not even the Second Palace Lord was able to react to it, let alone a newly ascended Hierarch.

A giant crater was seen after the dust subsided and the thunder clouds scattered. Chen Long’s body and soul were completely obliterated from the lightning.

“Jiang… Jiang Chen?”

Nobody believed their eyes, Jiang Chen counter-attacked and killed Chen Long with the help of the Heavenly Lightning. The sudden turn of events was too difficult for them to accept. Chen Long lost against Jiang Chen’s attack in the end, not even a speck of particle was left from his very being.

Thousands of Divine Kings cheered for Jiang Chen, it was a shocking event and exciting battle. It was a heart-moving battle between prodigies.

“Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen!”

“Peerless! Peerless! Peerless!”

Jiang Chen stood in the sky with a calm demeanor, he then turned towards Yan Qingcheng and gave a smile. A smile that could provide a sense of relief and security.

Yan Qingcheng cried with a smile on her face. She was definitely worried but she chose to believe in him that he would not disappoint her. No matter when and where, he can always give me that warm smile of his.

Gu Maolu, Donghuang Tai’a and the others breathe out a sigh of relief. Jiang Chen’s road towards the top was truly perilous. The era of the outer-palace’s three dragons was now gone.

Jiang Chen looked at the Second Palace Lord. The Lord’s expression was as ugly as it could be. Chen Long, who had reached the Hierarch Realm, could not defeat Jiang Chen and was killed instead. It was akin to a big fat slap on his name.

“I’m lucky to not have lived up to your expectations, Second Palace Lord. This time, Jiang Chen being the number one should be worthy, right?” Jiang Chen said, piercing the heart of the Second Palace Lord.

“Hmph! Good, good, good! Looks like we have a promising generation!” The Second Palace Lord turned and left. He disappeared into the skies.

Lin Youkang gave a bitter smile. This fella is truly fearless. To even go against the Second Palace Lord, definitely a monster. Nobody expected him to kill Chen Long. He exclaimed upon Jiang Chen’s talent and monstrous abilities, which were truly one of a kind!

Jiang Chen gazed upon the Second Palace Lord’s back and his expression became heavy. This fella’s pride got utterly stepped upon by me, but since he’s the lord, he can’t blatantly reprimand me. It’s best not to create more trouble with him, otherwise, he’ll not let me off easily.

“Lord Lin, this Purple Devil Taro should be mine, right?” Jiang Chen said.

“Hehehe, that’s right, this Purple Devil Taro is yours and you are also the best within the Outer Palace.” Lin Youkang took out the Purple Devil Taro.

Jiang Chen’s eyes shone brightly, it was a truly peerless divine ingredient. Lin Youkang then pushed the Purple Devil Taro into his palm.

“Finally!” Jiang Chen looked at the Purple Devil Taro and smiled as he kept it away.

He looked back towards the outer palace disciples, their eyes were filled with respect and envy. Except for Yan Qingcheng, whose eyes were filled with affection.

Jiang Chen had become everyone’s goal and he had created a new milestone for the outer-palace, killing an Hierarch while being a Divine King. There has never been such an honour appearing throughout the history of the Profound Connection Divine Palace.

The competition ended with Jiang Chen’s victory. The Nine Supreme Saint Bones Pill was ready to be concocted with the Purple Devil Taro in his palm.

Thousands of disciples scattered. Qian Renji sent a telepathic message to Jiang Chen:

“Soon after, there will be an expedition of secrets in the inner-palace, you’re able to join it. There are going to be 20 inner-palace disciples and 5 instructors. Lord Lin specially allowed you to join this expedition.”

“What expedition of secrets?” Jiang Chen looked at Qian Renji confusingly.

“An Emperor Expert’s relic site, you’ll know then. It was originally led by the Second Palace Lord but he had matters to attend to and could not join, therefore, it’s now being led by one of the elders.”

“Is it because of the demonic beast within the Heavenly Dragon Prison?” Jiang Chen asked.

He craved to return back to the 17th floor of the Heavenly Dragon Prison to check it out, however, with his current strength, he could now have a glimpse of the 17th floor.

“Remains of an Emperor Realm expert? Alright! I will certainly join.”

Jiang Chen turned and left.

He then bumped into Yu Chenglong. His eyes were filled with awkwardness.

“Brother Yu, how can I help you?” Jiang Chen said.

“Brother Jiang, this one has a favour to ask, and I do not know how to start.” Yu Chenglong sighed and gave a bitter smile.

“There’s no need to hold back.”

“Since Brother Jiang is being frank, then, I shall not hold back, I want your Purple Devil Taro, I wonder if Brother Jiang could let it go? I am willing to trade it with anything.” Yu Chenglong said with a heavy expression as if it took him great effort to ask.

“I won’t trade it.” Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

“The Purple Devil Taro is something I gained with my life on the line. I need it. Is Brother Yu going to make things hard for me?” Jiang Chen said.

For the sake of Purple Devil Taro, Yu Chenglong knew as well that Jiang Chen took great effort to obtain it, and he almost died for it, how could he just let it go?

Yu Chenglong silently nodded.

“You can tell me if Brother Yu has difficulties, I will certainly help you if it's within my capabilities. However, the Purple Devil Taro is not something I can let go.” Jiang Chen said.

“It’s fine, although Brother Jiang is powerful, you might not even be able to help me in this.” Yu Chenglong shook his head and left, feeling slightly angry towards Jiang Chen. Not even Elder Dan could do anything, would Jiang Chen be able to help?

However, Jiang Chen got it with his life on the line; it was reasonable for him to not trade it.

It’s a pity that Jiang Chen had offered his help twice but was rejected by Yu Chenglong.

Jiang Chen did not rush to concoct the Nine Supreme Saint Bones Pill. As it was not easy for him to concoct it, therefore, he chose to not take the risk.

Jiang Chen once again entered the 16th floor of the Heavenly Dragon Prison to cultivate. Unsurprisingly, this time he also dreamt about the man that was shackled.
