Chapter 380: Chapter 378: Coordination with Suu Luo
The Black Jade Ancient Road emanated a gloomy, ink-black light that seemed to devour all other rays of light.
Any blood that fell upon it was completely absorbed by the black jade!
In the end, even corpses and bones were devoured by the black jade of the ancient road.
It was bizarre and terrifying!
The Mysterious Space-Time Creatures that appeared here were the most terrifying of all.
And even fewer people were capable of setting foot on the Black Jade Ancient Road.
Ouyang Xue, Qingya, and the other women had arrived here under Jiang Jichen’s lead.
Along the way, they had slain four Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beasts and obtained four portions of Mysterious Material.
They had been refining it as they traveled and had already reached the limits of their evolution.
Their only path forward was to kill a High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature and obtain an even higher grade of Mysterious Material.
Therefore, the remaining Mysterious Material mostly went to Jiang Jichen and Suu Luo.
Of the four portions of Mysterious Material, the other women had collectively refined and absorbed one.
Suu Luo had devoured one portion by herself and seemed to have temporarily reached a saturation point.
Jiang Jichen, meanwhile, had refined two portions all by himself!
Their team was now very strong. Even without Jiang Jichen, the women alone were more than capable of protecting themselves.
After all, they had refined more than enough Mysterious Material.
’Once we enter the back mountain of the Academy, I’ll have to part ways with them. I need to hunt a High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature before then!’
Jiang Jichen thought to himself as he led the group from the front.
They continued deeper into the Black Jade Ancient Road.
Along the way, they encountered many powerful Human Race Cultivators, as well as formidable creatures from the Six Paths Realm.
Some were fighting amongst themselves, others were scrambling for Mysterious Material, and still others were hunting Low-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creatures.
But they had yet to see a single High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature.
Apparently, High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creatures were incredibly rare and hardly ever appeared.
Each time the Heavenly Refining Ancient Road opened, it was considered a great fortune if even one appeared on a given ancient road!
Right now, Jiang Jichen and his group were only interested in finding a High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature.
They had no interest in anything else they might encounter.
Thus, they moved quickly, overtaking team after team of Cultivators. Soon, they were approaching the end of the Black Jade Ancient Road.
One day, as Jiang Jichen walked at the very front, he suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on the empty space above the Black Jade Ancient Road.
Abruptly, his expression changed. "Careful! A Mysterious Space-Time Creature is descending!"
As he spoke, he pulled Suu Luo and Qingya, who were right beside him, back.
The others were further behind, so there was no need to worry about them.
BOOM!
The moment they dodged aside, an unbelievably massive Mysterious Space-Time Creature appeared before them.
He had sensed a fluctuation in the power of space-time a moment before, which was why he had retreated instantly.
Otherwise, they would have been smashed flat on the ground.
This mysterious creature was as massive as ten Ancient Elephants.
When it walked, it was like a small mountain on the move.
Its body was covered in terrifying, sharp spines of varying lengths. They were made of a material just like the black jade on the ground, glinting with a dark, inky luster.
With its massive eyes, gigantic mouth, and a pair of tusks, it looked utterly ferocious and terrifying.
It also had two ears as huge as cattail-leaf fans.
"It’s a High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature! We finally ran into one, wahaha..."
The other women’s faces turned deathly pale, the color draining from their lovely faces.
Only Suu Luo was hopping about, looking incredibly excited.
The High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature possessed higher intelligence; it was far smarter than its lesser kin. How could it fail to notice Suu Luo’s actions and expression?
To the beast, this was the ultimate humiliation!
Jiang Jichen’s face darkened as he watched from the side.
’This damn Asura, Suu Luo! She doesn’t have a shred of survival instinct!’
Jiang Jichen gritted his teeth and ordered, "Everyone, fall back! This High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature is not something you can handle! Suu Luo, get behind me. Don’t make a move until I give the word!"
"Okay, got it, Brother Jichen! Tee-hee..." Suu Luo was still laughing cheerfully, completely carefree. She had no idea the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature was staring at her with eyes full of hatred.
At that moment, the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature lunged forward to attack.
It came crashing down from above like a small mountain.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Jiang Jichen grabbed Suu Luo by her slender waist and dodged to the side.
BOOM!
The Black Jade Ancient Road shook, and a terrifying pressure billowed out in all directions.
WHOOSH!
However, Jiang Jichen had just regained his footing when the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature suddenly flapped its huge, fan-like ears.
In an instant, countless Wind Blades appeared, forming a series of Wind Blade Storms that swept murderously toward Jiang Jichen.
’I need to fight it in close quarters!’
Jiang Jichen thought, facing the Wind Blade Storm.
He also sent a telepathic message to Suu Luo, "Suu Luo, stick right to my back and don’t fall behind!"
"Don’t worry, Brother Jichen! Suu Luo won’t lose you, hehe!"
Suu Luo’s pleasant voice came from behind him.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen had already pushed his Seven-Colored Divine Soul to its limit, tracking the trajectory of the Wind Blade Storms. He then executed Illusory Indeterminacy and charged forward!
He had to break through the Wind Blade Storm to get in front of the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast and engage it in close combat.
Wielding the Holy Sword, Jiang Jichen dodged through one Wind Blade Storm after another, while Suu Luo followed perfectly in his wake, not missing a single step.
The reason he had kept only Suu Luo to coordinate with him was because her Divine Strange Step Technique allowed her to follow him without missing a single step.
Then, hidden behind him, she could deliver a fatal, definitive strike to their opponent.
However, the Wind Blade Storms fanned by the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast were too dense. Even though Jiang Jichen could track the trajectory of every single Wind Blade, he couldn’t possibly dodge them all.
Those he couldn’t dodge, he could only endure with his formidable physical body.
SLICE! SLICE! SLICE!
Soon, Jiang Jichen’s body was covered in wounds. Nevertheless, he was incredibly tough and finally fought his way right in front of the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature.
Without a moment’s pause, Jiang Jichen gripped his Holy Sword and unleashed a torrent of endless Sword Qi.
Ten Thousand Stars!
Star Transformation!
Star Destruction!
He executed them in one smooth, continuous motion. The three forms of his Star Sword Technique poured forth, completely enveloping the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature.
The High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature hadn’t expected this human to be so powerful, capable of breaking through its field of Wind Blade Storms.
The two tusks by its massive mouth bloomed with endless runes, coalescing into a series of phantom tusks to clash with Jiang Jichen’s Sword Skill.
In this clash, the two were surprisingly evenly matched!
In the end, the Sword Light dissipated, and the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature’s phantom tusks were depleted.
"Suu Luo, now!"
At that same instant, Jiang Jichen dodged aside and yelled.
Behind him, Suu Luo had long been gathering power for her ultimate attack!
Asura Kill!
With her jade-like hand gripping the Asura Saber, Suu Luo slashed at the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature from a distance.
Simultaneously, an impossibly tall Asura phantom materialized behind her. Wielding a giant Asura Saber, it also slashed down at the Advanced Space-Time Creature.
SCHLICK!
The giant Asura Blade Shadow struck the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature, cleaving a massive wound in its head.
Furthermore, the Asura Saber’s energy was filled with the aura of Annihilation, continuously eroding the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature’s life force.
Instantly, the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature was grievously wounded!
Jiang Jichen was about to step forward to deliver the finishing blow and retrieve its Inner Core.
WHOOSH!
But at that moment, a beam of Sword Light, though launched second, arrived first, piercing the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time creature’s heart.
BOOM!
The High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature died on the spot, its massive body crashing to the ground.
"Haha... after searching and waiting for so many days, it turns out it was here all along!"
Following the voice, several figures appeared.
A young man in black robes landed gracefully beside the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature, his voice filled with excitement.
