698: Chen Du fell down

Although Chen Du had never seen a Star Core, based on the information he had now and the scene he was witnessing, it wasn't hard to deduce that the corn-sized, golden metallic substance being attacked by the great sword inside the Green Snake's back was precisely the Star Core!

"Ah ah ah ah!"

The Green Snake let out a heart-wrenchwrenching cry of pain, akin to a child it had raised for 20 years turning out not to be its own.

At this moment, the great sword seemed to be shrinking, visibly diminishing at a speed discernible to the naked eye.

This wasn't due to anything the Green Snake did, but rather the intrinsic ability of the Judgment Holy Sword.

With the premise of destroying life, after hitting the target's highest priority location, it would continuously and rapidly deplete its internal energy, like a needle injecting a syringe.

The current situation could only indicate one problem: the Judgment Holy Sword, almost fully charged with damage energy, failed to kill the Green Snake before it.

Chen Du was a very rational person; the power just now was absolutely sufficient to destroy a normal Level 31 life form.

Evidently, this Green Snake was not normal.

Chen Du hadn't expected there to actually be a Star Core here, the one You Ansi Ji was searching for.

You Ansi Ji wasn't even sure if it was here; he was simply carrying out a task assigned by the Myriad Flowers Civilization.

Now it seemed the Myriad Flowers Civilization's intelligence was quite accurate, but this Green Snake had gotten there first.

Although the Bloom state had ended, the Green Snake's condition was now far, far worse than before.

Whoosh!

Chen Du used a Hand of God to instantly swap to the Green Snake's back, and the moment his feet touched the snake's back, he instinctively felt its body tremble.

The Green Snake instantly realized what Chen Du intended to do, launching a tail sweep attack the moment he appeared.

Unfortunately, it was much weaker now than before.

Even an all-out strike only shattered Chen Du's left arm.

There was no other way; after all, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, and Chen Du took the blow head-on.

It wasn't that he wanted to show off, but he needed time to cut off and take the corn-sized Star Core from the Green Snake's back.

As he took it, Chen Du noticed that the flesh on the back, destroyed by the Judgment Holy Sword, was slowly beginning to regenerate.

At that moment, he understood why the wound on the Green Snake's tail, previously damaged by his 'Never Heal' ability, had been able to heal.

It turned out the reason for all of this was the Star Core!

This discovery also confirmed Chen Du's previous speculation about the Star Core's purpose.

Besides upgrading planets and opening the immeasurable gate, it had other uses, and now it seemed this thing could also be implanted into a body.

He just didn't know if there were any prerequisites or consequences.

As for opening the immeasurable gate, was this small amount enough?

Was this considered the key?

Chen Du didn't know the answer to this question, because You Ansi Ji also didn't know; he simply thought it was a mission to recover rare resources.

But... the Green Snake before him clearly knew something.

"How do you have a Star Core in your body?"

Chen Du again used Hand of God, stepping on the snake's head, and asked, pressing his long sword against its forehead.

"Star Core, you actually know this thing is a Star Core!?"

The Green Snake didn't answer Chen Du's question, but was shocked that he knew about it.

Pfft!

The next second, a black horn abruptly emerged from the skin beneath the snake's head, instantly piercing Chen Du's left chest.

"You were too careless, daring to step directly on my head."

As his left chest was pierced, Chen Du instantly felt a strong dizzying sensation in his head, immediately realizing that the black horn was poisonous.

A powerful will instantly cleared Chen Du's mind, and he quickly took several steps forward, pulling out the black horn by moving.

Blood flowed from his empty left chest; Chen Du, suppressing the dizziness, again used Hand of God to create distance.

"Thousand Faces, when I shattered your left arm, you didn't recover immediately. This behavior was very abnormal."

"I realized then that you could no longer maintain your immortal state,"

the Green Snake said weakly. The two attacks just now were also an overload for it; it was now even weaker, but the smile on its lips only grew.

Chen Du's eyelids were half-closed.

The Green Snake was right; his immortal body, or Mental Restart, a life preserved for error tolerance, had also been used up in the previous attacks.

In the previous attacks, Chen Du never once targeted the head.

On one hand, he didn't want to face the opponent's large mouth; if he were eaten, he truly wasn't confident he could kill his way out within the Bloom duration.

On the other hand, his goal was to maximize damage, and the head, as a weakness, would have stronger protection and defense.

It was precisely these two points that led Chen Du to miscalculate; he hadn't expected the opponent to have horns, and poisonous ones at that.

At this moment, he felt his body grow heavier with each passing second.

This snake venom was somewhat similar to his Judgment Holy Sword's ability, both aimed at destroying life functions.

However, the opponent's effect wasn't as strong as the Judgment Holy Sword's; perhaps it wasn't as effective against fellow Domain Warriors, but against an Advanced Aerial Warrior, it was indeed a bit of a dimensionality reduction attack.

Now, the ten lethal doses of Mental Restart were already full, his left arm was shattered, his left chest had a large hole, plus the constantly spreading snake venom in his body.

And the cunning Green Snake, at this moment, not only didn't attack but also deliberately pulled back a bit, to prevent any dying counterattack, intending to finish him off with the snake venom.

Chen Du finally reached his limit at this moment.

With a thud.

He fell face down.

"Hahahahahahaha!"

The Green Snake burst into maniacal laughter at this sight.

"I won!"

"In the end, I still won!"

"I'll call you the strongest Advanced Aerial Warrior!"

"And the only one I've ever seen who, at the Sky Soaring Warrior stage, could kill a Domain Warrior."

"But now, it's all useless; once you're dead, everything becomes nothing!"

The Green Snake declared its victory, then looked greedily at the Star Core that had fallen from Chen Du's hand:

"Hahahahaha!"

"As long as I perform Fusion with this thing again, everything... everything of mine will be restored!"

However, just as the Green Snake was about to move closer, a voice suddenly came from behind the white mist:

"Laughing so happily, did something good happen?"

"If it's convenient, could you tell me?"
