Chapter 135
Li Chen dug his grey, metallic fingers into the cracks of the metal plates. He gritted his iron teeth. He used every single ounce of his remaining physical strength. "Open," Li Chen growled, his voice rough and broken. He pulled his hands apart. The thick red metal plates bent and snapped. Li Chen tore the monster’s flesh completely open. Thick, foul-smelling green blood spilled over his hands. Li Chen reached deep inside the hot, steaming meat. He grabbed the glowing object. He pulled it out. It was a massive, pulsing, blood-red Beast Core. It was the size of a large melon. It was perfectly round and incredibly heavy. The red light coming from the core was so bright it cast long, dark shadows across the ruined temple. This was a pure, unadulterated Rank-4 Beast Core. It contained all the natural magic and life force of a Foundation Establishment monster. Li Chen held the giant red core in his lap. He could feel the wild, violent energy buzzing against his grey skin. He wanted

The ancient white skeleton stood perfectly still. Its empty eye sockets glowed with a faint, eerie silver light. Its bony white hand reached out, pointing a long finger directly at Li Chen’s pocket. Inside that pocket rested the glowing, chaotic Primordial Origin Core. Li Chen lay on his stomach on the cold, broken stone floor. His dark golden skin was cracked and bleeding. He could not lift his arms. He could not move his heavy black boots. His body was completely, utterly exhausted from the brutal fight against the giant Blood-Iron Centipede. "Give me the core..." the sad, ancient woman’s voice whispered in his mind. "Let me show you the truth of our blood."Li Chen stared at the skeleton. He wanted to speak. He wanted to ask her who she was. He wanted to ask about the symbol of the Li Clan carved on the white jade coffin. But his throat was burned from swallowing the monster’s toxic blood. He could only let out a weak, raspy breath. The skeleton took one more slow, scraping st

Li Chen hung in the air for a second. The red ash fell all around him. The monster was finally, truly dead. Li Chen began to fall. He dropped fifty feet and hit the broken stone floor. He landed heavily on his feet, but his knees immediately buckled. The battle was over. The danger was gone. But the toll on Li Chen’s body was incredibly severe. He had fought elite 8th and 9th Level assassins. He had taken a direct hit from a Foundation Establishment monster. He had consumed a massive tsunami of highly toxic, boiling, unstable Rank-4 blood. He had pushed his Golden-Iron body far past its natural limit. The wild, red toxic energy inside him faded away. When the energy left, the pain returned. "Gah," Li Chen gasped. His massive Void Blade slipped from his fingers and crashed heavily onto the stone floor. Li Chen fell to his hands and knees. His dark golden, metallic skin began to crack. Dozens of thin, painful cuts appeared on his arms and chest. Dark red blood dripped slowly fro
Chapter 132
The massive, unbelievable amount of raw energy he had just devoured flooded his entire system. The Chaos Root pushed the purified energy into his bloodstream. Li Chen’s body began to glow. He did not glow with his normal dark aura. He glowed with a blinding, toxic, bright red light. His dull, grey metallic skin turned burning hot. The dark golden tattoo of the dragon-turtle on his chest burned so brightly it shone through his torn black shirt. He was completely overcharged. He was energized beyond his normal limits. The veins on his arms popped out, looking like thick, glowing red ropes. Steam poured from his mouth and nose. His pitch-black eyes turned completely red, filled with the wild, berserk energy of the beast he had just eaten. He felt like a bomb that was about to explode. He needed to release the energy immediately, or his body would shatter into pieces. Li Chen looked up at the giant, headless centipede. The monster was exhausted, but it was still thrashing blindly. I
Chapter 131
Li Chen quickly grabbed the glowing red Primordial Origin Core in his hand. He shoved it deep into the pocket of his torn black leather coat. He needed to keep it safe. He did not run. He did not dodge. Li Chen stepped directly in front of Su Binglan. He placed his large, grey metallic body between the helpless girl and the towering monster. He spread his legs wide, digging his heavy black boots deep into the broken stone floor. "What are you doing?!" Su Binglan screamed weakly from the ground. "You cannot block that! It will melt your skin!"Li Chen did not answer her. He tilted his head back. He looked straight up at the monster's boiling throat. The monster unleashed the attack. A massive, roaring tsunami of boiling, highly toxic red blood exploded from the beast’s neck. It was not a small stream. It was a giant waterfall. The wave was thirty feet wide and incredibly fast. It rushed down toward Li Chen and Su Binglan like an ocean of burning lava. The heat was unbelievable. T
Chapter 130
The ancient, dusty air of the underground temple was completely still. Li Chen stood perfectly frozen in the center of the massive crater. In his right hand, he held the glowing red Primordial Origin Core. The thick, dark red blood of the giant centipede dripped from his grey, metallic fingers. He stared across the vast cavern, looking at the distant dark island. He looked at the glowing white jade coffin. The heavy stone lid was slowly sliding open. A hand made of pure white bone gripped the edge. "You took my core, little Devourer..." the sad, ancient woman’s voice whispered in his mind. "Now... give it back."Li Chen’s heart pounded loudly. His breath was caught in his throat. His family crest was carved on that coffin. A skeleton holding a rusted sword was waking up. It was impossible. It was a nightmare. He took a slow step forward, preparing to run toward the blood lake. He wanted to cross the dark water. He wanted to demand answers from the walking dead. But suddenly, the
