Chapter 1288 Pseudo-divine mine?
When Xiao Chen sought Wang Wu'er's help to repair the Dragon-Slaying Sword, the latter mentioned an extremely rare spiritual material, the Five Elements Divine Ore.
Everything in the world is subject to Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and the universe is illusory.
The so-called Yin and Yang are the Yin and Yang of the One Qi transforming into the Three Pure Ones and the Two Forms giving rise to the Four Symbols.
The power of the Five Elements can be embodied in five extraordinary forces: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal. The five elements interact in this cycle, giving rise to all things in the universe and the myriad aspects of human life.
The reason why the Dragon Slayer Sword is indestructible is that when it was forged, the sword-forging god incorporated a large amount of Five Elements divine ore, which is comparable to immortal gold, into it, giving the Dragon Slayer Sword extremely terrifying Five Elements power.
Wang Wuer once said that if Xiao Chen could find enough Five Elements Divine Ore, he was confident that he could restore the Dragon Slayer Sword to more than 80% of its peak condition.
Unfortunately, the Five Elements Divine Mine is extremely rare and requires the nourishment of supreme fortune to be produced, which the Great Xia Dynasty simply does not possess.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword is extremely important to Xiao Chen. Not only is it the only item given to him by his deceased master, but it can also restrain the dragon race and cleave the heavens and earth. It must be repaired.
Originally, Xiao Chen planned to search slowly after going to the Spirit Realm. Who would have thought that today, by chance, he would actually see the Metal Element Divine Mine among the Five Elements Divine Mines!
"The Gold Mine is indeed extraordinary. Thank you, brother!"
The Golden Mantis King was as large as a mountain, stretching across the void, its golden light dazzling. Its eyes were like strange moons, cold and desolate. The moment it saw the Golden Divine Mine, its eyes trembled slightly. Its eyes, as cold as ten-thousand-year-old icebergs, couldn't help but surge with a hint of excitement.
The Gold Mine is in hand!
Including the one Qin Tiangong gave it before, it now has a total of two.
Even though it is the current king of the Golden Mantis Beast clan and has seen much, it still felt its demonic heart stirred when faced with a spiritual object like the Golden Divine Mine.
With a flick of its divine claw, the Golden Mantis King sent the Golden Element Divine Ore into a wisp of rosy light, which slowly seeped into its brow and condensed into a fist-sized golden rune.
If you look closely, you'll see that the Golden Mantis King has two such mysterious runes between its eyebrows.
The Golden Mantis King is born with the sacred power of the metal element and is naturally close to sacred metal objects such as the Golden Divine Ore. With just a touch, the Golden Divine Ore will transform into the power of law and flow into its demonic body.
Of course, this is only a means of storage. When the Golden Mantis King needs it, with a thought, the mysterious rune that resembles ancient hieroglyphs will once again transform into the form of divine ore.
"No need to be polite, it's just a piece of pseudo-divine ore!" Qin Tiangong waved his hand, displaying great magnanimity.
"A pseudo-divine mine?"
Xiao Chen was stunned again. The strange divine stone that had been so terrifying, almost radiating the holy might of the Golden Heavenly Dao, was actually just a fake ore.
So-called fake ore is similar to a counterfeit. Although the material is amazing, it is forged by skilled craftsmen using unparalleled secret techniques to imitate the natural divine ore. Its efficacy is only 30% of that of the real ore.
"Brother, you're too kind. True divine gold mines are extremely rare, even immortals who roam the heavens and earth might not be able to produce them. In the mortal world, pseudo-divine mines are already the most precious treasures!"
The Golden Mantis King seemed to have known all along that the Golden Element Divine Mine Qin Tiangong had just given him was a fake divine mine, and he didn't care at all; on the contrary, he was quite satisfied.
What kind of existence is the Five Elements Divine Mine? Let alone mortal beings like them, even the highest immortals and ancient demons would covet it. How could it possibly appear in the mortal world!
For it, even pseudo-divine ore is incredibly precious!
"Your Majesty, Qin Tiangong might still possess some divine ore. Why not kill him and rob him of his treasure?"
The Golden Mantis General, seeing the potential for wealth, used a secret method to transmit his voice to the Golden Mantis King.
"Difficult. Qin Tiangong's combat strength is extraordinary; he may not be much weaker than me!"
The Golden Mantis King shook its head. Kill and rob? It had certainly considered it, but Qin Tiangong was exceptionally strong and not easy to deal with. It was certain that Qin Tiangong's reason for asking them to capture Xiao Chen was simply to maintain his authority, not because he had any reservations about Xiao Chen!
"What? This Qin Tiangong is so terrifying? But how old is he?!"
The Golden Mantis was surprised. Qin Tiangong was always surrounded by a dark blue divine light, which obscured most of the secrets of heaven. With its strength, it was impossible for it to see through the fog!
"Let's talk about it back home!" The Golden Mantis King stopped the conversation, turned around and nodded slightly to Qin Tiangong, "Brother, the transaction is complete. If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the mountain first!"
"No need to see me off!" Qin Tiangong nodded.
"Kid, you're lucky. If it weren't for Brother Tiangong's sake, I would have torn you to pieces!"
The Golden Mantis King lowered its enormous, palace-like head, its eyes filled with icy blue demonic flames, and stared coldly at Xiao Chen, while golden lightning emanated from its body.
Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, Xiao Chen stole their old home, which the Golden Mantis King hated to the core.
If it weren't for the need to make a deal with Qin Tiangong, the Golden Mantis King would have tortured him for ten days and ten nights, eating his flesh and swallowing his blood, using Xiao Chen's soul to light the spirit lamp!
"Brother Demon, what has happened?"
"What? This happened?"
Qin Tiangong was puzzled as to why the Golden Mantis King harbored such deep hatred for Xiao Chen. Upon inquiring, he was surprised to learn that Xiao Chen had recently stolen the Golden Mantis King's home, which greatly shocked him.
The Golden Mantis Mountain is teeming with demons, each with profound cultivation. It is astonishing that Xiao Chen, a mere second-level King Realm cultivator, was able to single-handedly annihilate all the demons of the Golden Mantis Divine Palace!
Isn't it said that Xiao Chen, though possessing some combat strength, is just so-so, and that his ability to complete the guardian spirit beast mission is entirely due to his cunning and treachery?
Looking at it now, something seems off.
Of course, Qin Tiangan was extremely confident, believing that with his strength, he was enough to suppress all enemies in the outer area. Even though he was slightly surprised by Xiao Chen's achievements, he didn't take it to heart!
"For many years, your Golden Mantis Beast clan has been slaughtering the mountain people. To satisfy your appetite, you have been massacring villages and wiping out entire families at the drop of a hat. My killing of all the demons in your Golden Mantis Palace is entirely for the benefit of the people. Today, I will not only kill your subordinates, but I will also kill you here!"
Recalling the information he obtained from the Black Armored Dragon Turtle Beast, Xiao Chen's killing intent surged, and he wanted to directly attack the Golden Mantis King.
The lineage of the Golden Mantis King has been an unparalleled ferocious beast since its inception. With so many of them, their bones could already form a mountain. As a human, Xiao Chen could not possibly let such a vicious beast go!
"Slay me? What kind of pipe dream are you having?"
The Golden Mantis King roared, unleashing a torrent of golden sound waves that shattered the vast sea of clouds.
Like a god or demon descending to earth, it lowered its head from the sky, wielding its forepaws that resembled golden celestial blades, and slashed fiercely at Xiao Chen.
In an instant, golden light shone through the sky, boundless and limitless. The golden demonic energy, like a divine sea, swept down and transformed into dazzling blade light, slashing towards Xiao Chen.
Golden demonic light surged, like a burning sea of demons, shattering the void and turning it to ashes inch by inch.
The Golden Mantis King's strike was so terrifying that it almost shook the heavens and earth.
"What terrifying sword energy! As expected of the Golden Mantis King, its killing power is astonishing!"
Xiao Chen's eyes flickered slightly. He had suppressed the Golden Mantis Commander with just one move, which was extremely easy. However, he felt a surge of fighting spirit when facing the Golden Mantis King!
