Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 710 - 709. Madly Absorbing Origin Energy_1

Jiang Chen directed Little Hong deeper into the planet. Inside, there was a vast spatial continent where they happened to see two giant figures emerging from a cave entrance.

The Dark Divine Tribe also spotted Little Hong.

"Those are people from the Red Ridge Deity Clan."

"That fellow is here too. I wonder if the Ghost Ox King escaped. He has more than one cave, so it's quite possible he's already fled."

"This guy ruined our plans! Brother, let's kill him!"

At that moment, Jiang Chen appeared beside Little Hong. He looked at the Dark Divine Tribe. Their bodies were entirely black and immense, like members of the Giant Tribe. The only difference was that the Dark Divine Tribe members were completely clad in armor.

"They are the Dark Divine Tribe," Yuan Ziyi observed, looking at the two. "How come they look just like the Giant Tribe? Their bodies are filled with Origin Energy—a kind of dark Origin Energy."

Jiang Chen nodded. The Dark Divine Tribe's bodies were indeed filled with Origin Energy. Powerful Origin Energy permeated their entire beings.

The expressions of the Dark Divine Tribe members turned cold; these newcomers were from the Human Race, not some Red Ridge Deity Clan.

"Big brother, they're from the Human Race."

The Dark Divine said, "Human Race! I didn't expect you to dare come here seeking death and ruining my grand plans."

The Dark Divine reached out a massive hand towards Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi.

Jiang Chen attacked without hesitation, his Sword Qi sweeping out.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Countless strands of Sword Qi struck the massive hand but failed to break through the Dark Divine's defense. Its defensive power was terrifying. No Laws had any effect.

What a strange race, Jiang Chen thought. Even Laws can't inflict the slightest injury on them. What kind of bizarre power is this! Their defensive power is truly incredible.

Jiang Chen then noticed that the Origin Energy within their bodies was distributed around them. Each scale of their armor radiated light, forming a Protective Shield akin to a Formation. This was probably the Protective Shield that blocked Jiang Chen's attacks. This Protective Shield was truly incredible, he had to admit. Even Sword Qi imbued with Laws couldn't inflict the slightest injury.

Seeing the massive hand reaching for them, Jiang Chen immediately employed *The Book of Heavenly Path*. A vortex appeared before them, sucking in the Dark Divine's hand.

Eh? What kind of eerie power is this? the Dark Divine Tribe members wondered. They thought they had captured Jiang Chen and his companion, but their grasp met only air, as if the two had never been there.

"Brother, how strange! Why can't we catch them?"

"It must be some kind of spatial Skill. However, I can shatter Space! In the face of absolute Strength, all Skills are useless!"

The Dark Divine transformed his hand, pouring immense Origin Energy into it. Cyan-purple Thunder and Lightning erupted, shattering the surrounding Space.

Yuan Ziyi immediately countered, unleashing the Power of Destiny to suppress them.

"I control destiny! All powers must submit to me!"

Yuan Ziyi directed her Power of Destiny to suppress the Dark Divine Tribe members.

"Hmph! Not even destiny can suppress true Strength!"

The Dark Divine erupted with immense Strength, blasting away the Power of Destiny.

Yuan Ziyi's complexion changed drastically. Are the Dark Divine Tribe members this powerful? she wondered.

Jiang Chen said, "He likely controls a Strength Mark, enabling him to exert immense Strength."

"That must be it," Yuan Ziyi agreed. "His Origin Energy is incredibly strong, at least dozens of times stronger than mine."

The Dark Divine immediately reached out to grab Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi.

Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi quickly dodged, moving out of the attack range.

"Strength Mark? Only your Human Race calls it that. Strength is Strength! There's no such thing as a mark. Your Origin Energy is too weak!"

Both Dark Divine Tribe members attacked, reaching for Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi.

At this moment, Abnormal Beasts from the Ghost Ox Tribe also attacked Jiang Chen, while simultaneously launching a frenzied assault on the Dark Divine Celestial Gods.

The Dark Divine Tribe members were elated. "The Ghost Ox King hasn't left yet!"

The Dark Divine Tribe members charged into the distance. Their target was the Ghost Ox King, not Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi.

Jiang Chen also closely followed behind. Facing countless Abnormal Beasts, Jiang Chen unleashed his Grand River Sword Intent, sweeping in all directions. His speed surpassed even that of the Dark Divine Tribe members, and within a few breaths, he spotted a massive Ghost Ox King ahead.

It was a hundred meters tall, its body stretching three hundred meters long, and it was surrounded by numerous Origin Energy Crystals. This Origin Energy had already fully crystallized. These Origin Energy Crystals were the food of the Ghost Ox King.

Jiang Chen cared little for the Ghost Ox King; the Origin Energy Crystals were his true target. With a grand wave of his hand, he began to frantically absorb the surrounding Origin Energy Crystals.

The Ghost Ox King roared! It ordered its subordinates to attack Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi.

Jiang Chen's Grand River Sword Intent whirled madly around them.

At this point, one of the Dark Divine Tribe members said, "Human, I'll give you half of the surrounding Origin Energy, but the Ghost Ox King is mine."

"No, I want all the Origin Energy Crystals. The Ghost Ox is yours," Jiang Chen retorted.

The Dark Divine Tribe member burst into fury. "You're seeking death!"

"Too bad you don't have the ability to kill me," Jiang Chen replied coolly.

Jiang Chen paid them no mind and continued absorbing the Origin Energy Crystals. Yuan Ziyi did likewise, absorbing Origin Energy to enhance her own strength.

Yuan Ziyi asked in confusion, "Why are the Dark Divine Tribe so obsessed with the Ghost Ox Foreign Beast?"

"I don't know either," Jiang Chen said. "The Ghost Ox Foreign Beast is useless to us. This Origin Energy is what we need."

The two of them frantically absorbed the surrounding Origin Energy.

The Dark Divine who had spoken charged at Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi, intending to kill them. Unfortunately, the pair were so fast they had already darted out of his attack range, continuing to absorb Origin Energy Crystals.

"Damn it! If they absorb everything, this planet will be useless!"

"It doesn't matter. With the Ghost Ox King here, we can still slowly cultivate Origin Energy. Let them have it for now. We'll plant the item in the Ghost Ox King's body first."

"Alright."

Jiang Chen noticed their actions. They implanted something resembling an egg into the Ghost Ox King's body.

This is outright parasitism! Jiang Chen realized. This must be their method of survival: placing the egg inside the Ghost Ox King's body allows it to grow within. And the Ghost Ox King has many underlings who unwittingly find Origin Energy for them, allowing their offspring to mature. This is tantamount to cuckoos taking over another's nest! No wonder they're so obsessed with the Ghost Ox King.

"They're using the Ghost Ox King to raise their young," Yuan Ziyi said. "Making it seek out the universe's Origin Energy to nurture their offspring."

"That seems to be the case," Jiang Chen replied. "Let's gather some more Origin Energy, then it's time for us to leave."

They want to raise their young? Fine, let them raise them well, Jiang Chen mused. Later, we can continue to absorb Origin Energy endlessly, reaping another harvest...

The Ghost Ox King roared, commanding its subordinates to attack the Dark Divine Celestial Gods. However, their feeble attacks couldn't even touch them.

The Dark Divine Tribe members immediately departed, flying outwards. The two Dark Divine Tribe members didn't hurry to leave, however. Instead, they observed Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi.

After Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi had absorbed everything in the vicinity, they quickly made their escape. Using the Door of Wonders, they vanished from before the two Dark Divine Tribe members.

"Damn it! We let them escape!"

"Those two are not ordinary. Their strength is immense. It's strange... how can they control different types of Origin Energy?"
