I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 409 A Pillar of Strength: The Human Race Needs a Human Emperor

Li Xueru sent Wu Lingdong and Yang Qin directly to Shenlong City.

Not everyone is qualified to enter Hongshen Courtyard.

Hong Jishi threw the Dragon King's corpse on the ground. "Old Li, see if there's anything we can use."

Although the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan has fallen, he still exudes immense pressure.

Among humans, it is equivalent to a god-level powerhouse, possessing immense combat strength, and could easily defeat Jiang Chen.

However, Hong Ki-seok was much stronger, and as a result, it was beaten to death by Hong Ki-seok.

Li Xueru emitted a beam of light, which landed on the Dragon King's corpse. After closing his eyes and sensing it for a moment, he spoke, "This lowest-grade Dragon King's corpse is useless to me. You can give it to Old Tai; perhaps he will find it useful."

Both the Dragon King's corpse and the Demon King's corpse are raw materials for mythical-level equipment.

Hong Jishi already knew this would happen, so he put away the Dragon King's corpse and said, "Take a look at this next."

He then took out a piece of dragon crystal.

Li Xueru toyed with the dragon crystal in his hand. "The Demon King's core and the Dragon King's dragon crystal are both materials for making mythical-level jewelry. Unfortunately, they're still a little lacking."

Unlike the human race's gods, which are divided into different levels, the dragon race's dragon kings are divided into three levels: low, medium, and high.

The lower-level Dragon King corresponds to human level 90 to 92.

The dragon king that Hong Jishi killed was only the weakest of the low-level dragon kings.

For Li Xueru, the energy in the dragon crystal was not particularly powerful, and he somewhat disdained it.

Although dragon glass can be used to create mythical-grade jewelry, it is only one of the main materials used in its production.

A large amount of auxiliary materials are also needed, and these auxiliary materials are also very precious.

Li Xueru felt it wasn't worth wasting so many rare auxiliary materials for such a low-grade dragon crystal.

Jiang Chen looked at Long Jing and found it strange no matter how he looked at it.

Like, so similar.

Jiang Chen said, "Teacher, can I take a look at the Dragon Crystal?"

Li Xueru simply tossed the dragon crystal to Jiang Chen, as if it were trash.

What others consider priceless dragon crystals are nothing special in Li Xueru's eyes.

Taking the Dragon Crystal, Jiang Chen summoned the Creation Scepter. On the Creation Scepter, the damaged life core was gleaming.

The damaged core of life appears somewhat ethereal, while the outer shell appears and disappears intermittently.

Occasionally, some life force would leak out.

There is really no difference between the two.

Hong Jishi asked curiously, "They really do look alike."

Li Xueru said, "It seems that the life core and the dragon crystal should be related."

Jiang Chen's heart stirred, and he made contact between the Dragon Crystal and the Life Core.

The moment they made contact, the life core shone brightly, and the dragon crystal shattered.

The dragon crystal was completely destroyed after the explosion, and was absorbed entirely by the life core.

After absorbing the dragon crystal, the life core seemed to have recovered a little.

As the owner of the Creation Scepter, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that the core of life was more complete than before.

If the breakage rate was 80% before, it is now around 75%.

Li Xueru's eyes gleamed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "It seems that the life core is made of dragon crystal, and not just any ordinary dragon crystal."

Hong Jishi said, "Could it be the dragon crystal of a high-ranking dragon king?"

Li Xueru wasn't quite sure, "It's possible, but it could also be the Dragon Emperor's Dragon Crystal."

hiss…

"Impossible." Hong Jishi was shocked. He felt that what Li Xueru said was a bit too exaggerated.

The Dragon Emperor's status is equivalent to a god-level powerhouse in the human race. As far as he knows, there is no Dragon Emperor among the dragon race.

Just like there are no god-level powerhouses among the human race, the strongest one is only half a god.

Li Xueru said, "The fact that there is no Dragon Emperor now does not mean that there wasn't one before."

A memory flickered in his eyes, "I once saw a corpse in the deep space of the ancient battlefield. It was the corpse of a dragon. Countless years have passed, but the corpse has not been destroyed and remains incredibly powerful."

“Wait…” Hong Jishi suddenly interrupted Li Xueru.

Hong Jishi said, "I can understand what you mean by the corpses of dragons. I can also understand that they have not decayed even after countless years. Even if a high-ranking dragon king dies, his body can remain intact for thousands of years."

"But what the hell do you mean by 'still incredibly powerful'?"

Li Xueru glared at Hong Jishi, "It's very impolite to interrupt others."

Hong Jishi chuckled awkwardly, "Go on, go on, I'll shut up." Li Xueru said, "Back then, I had just become a god-level being and encountered that guy when I first entered the deep space."

"It's clearly dead, clearly a corpse, but it can still move and attack."

"I was almost killed by it, and I barely managed to escape."

"Moreover, it is different from ordinary dragons; it seems to have begun to revert to its ancestral origins."

Li Xueru recounted what happened back then.

Li Xueru experienced many life-or-death crises in his life, but that one was definitely the most dangerous and remains fresh in his memory.

Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

Even a corpse that has been dead for thousands of years can be this powerful.

Hong Jishi said, "I've been to the deep space many times, but I've never encountered that kind of guy."

Li Xueru chuckled, "You're just lucky."

One sentence shut Hong Jishi up. Li Xueru continued, "Later I judged that the corpse was most likely the corpse of the Dragon Emperor, or at least a half-step Dragon Emperor. That's equivalent to a half-step super god, a level 99 being."

Jiang Chen did not doubt what Li Xueru said.

Li Xueru is knowledgeable and has seen a great deal; his judgment is very likely correct.

Jiang Chen said, "If the life core is indeed made of dragon crystal, if I can obtain enough dragon crystals, can I repair the life core?"

Li Xueru nodded. "Judging from the life core's performance just now, there is indeed a high probability that this is the case."

Hong Jishi laughed from the side, "You kid don't actually want to storm into the Dragon Realm and slaughter the Dragon Kings, do you?"

Dragon crystals are only possessed by the Dragon King; to obtain a Dragon Crystal, one must slay a Dragon King.

This thought only flashed through his mind before he immediately dismissed it. Jiang Chen himself felt it was wishful thinking.

Li Xueru shook his head, "Actually, there is another place where you can obtain a large amount of dragon crystals."

Ok?

The two of them looked at Li Xueru at the same time.

Li Xueru continued, "It was in the deep space of the ancient battlefield, the place where I encountered that corpse dragon, that I saw a graveyard when I was being chased by it."

"The dragon cemetery not only contains a large number of dragon corpses, but also a lot of dragon crystals."

Hong Jishi scoffed, "You're basically saying nothing at all. How could Xiao Chen possibly go to the deep space right now?"

"Even if he goes, with that giant corpse dragon around, would you send Xiao Chen to his death?"

Li Xueru said, "I just said there is such a place." Jiang Chen understood what Li Xueru meant, "Thank you, teacher."

He would definitely go and see it if he had the chance.

Hong Jishi said, "Now the dragons and the abyss demons are both eyeing you, so you must be careful in your future actions."

"Even within the empire, we cannot let our guard down; these guys have plenty of insidious tricks up their sleeves."

Jiang Chen understood the reasoning behind it. "I will be careful."

Li Xueru said calmly, "In a few more days, we'll clean up those rats, and things should be peaceful for a while."

Jiang Chen asked, "Isn't there any way to completely eradicate them?"

Hong Jishi shook his head. "It's not as simple as you think. Things are easier to handle within the empire, but they're more difficult in other countries."

"If a fight really breaks out, it is very likely to erupt into a civil war among humans. At that time, both the abyss demons and the dragons will take advantage of the situation."

That's the idea, Jiang Chen understood after thinking about it. The human race isn't just about the Divine Dragon Empire; the internal forces of the human race are intricate and extremely complex.

If a major conflict were to break out, it might actually lead to internal strife.

Li Xueru said in a deep voice, "The human race needs a supreme powerhouse, someone whose word is law and who no one dares to contradict."

Jiang Chen asked instinctively, "Isn't that one okay?"

Li Xueru said, "Half-step godhood is not enough. Perhaps he can do it when he truly becomes a god."

Truly godlike!

Back at Shenlong University, Jiang Chen could still hear Li Xueru's last words echoing in his ears.

Humanity needs a true god-like being, a ruler whose word is law.

Only then can the human race be truly stabilized and the internal troubles completely resolved.

"Junior Jiang." A clear voice reached my ears...
