Jiang Chen found it hard to believe his own eyes. The environments at the peak of every level had always been relatively calm.
But the savagery with which the magnetic storms whipped around at the peak of the tenth floor made it extremely difficult to even stand in.
Jiang Chen stayed rooted, as if his feet had been poured from lead. Desolation greeted his eyes as he gazed across the peak, as if this was a place that humans shouldn’t have come at all.
Jiang Chen suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly beneath his feet.
His expression changing rapidly, he immediately dashed to a side and looked back with alert, wary eyes.
Spiderweb cracks rapidly crept across the the surface of the rock strewn ground, expanding at an ever increasing rate
Bam!
Countless numbers of rocks hurtled into the sky, some reaching heights of over several thousand meters. It seemed to be raining rocks all of a sudden.
Jiang Chen protected his vitals, never shifting his gaze from the epicenter of the cracks
There, an aura vortex formed, greedily sucking in all the magnetic twisters around it, and funneling them all into the ground below.
“Lord of the Golden Seal?” A frightening thought flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind.
Wham!
In the next moment, a mystical beam of light blasted its way to the sky as an enormous figure crawled up from within the vortex. It rose like a mountain emerging from the ground, and continued to rise upward.
Before long, it was twenty or thirty feet high.
The giant figure shuddered, and then sprang forward like a loosed arrow, gathering the enormous aura in the air, aiming straight for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s hands spread out as six lotuses formed a barrier in front of him, their large petals catching all the flying rocks like nets spread across the heavens.
“Human!”
The figure roared lowly, not articulating very clearly. Rather, it seemed to be an alien race voicing human language, stilted and unpracticed.
Jiang Chen looked up at this enormous figure, which clocked in at twenty, even thirty feet tall. It looked to be formed completely of metal. The corded muscles seemed to be poured bronze, giving off an invincible feeling.
“Lord of the Golden Seal?” Jiang Chen asked automatically.
“Mm? You know my name?” This enormous giant was indeed the Lord of the Golden Seal.
The lord seemed to have just woken up. This sentence was much clearer than the one it’d voiced before.
“Lord of the Golden Seal, ultimate protector of the magnetic golden mountain, am I correct?” Jiang Chen was happy rather than surprised to see that the being was willing to converse with him.
Things would be easy as long as it was willing to talk.
Jiang Chen also wanted to make use of this opportunity to observe this Lord of the Golden Seal and see if he could find any weaknesses. After all, these muscles that looked like they’d been cast from metal gave one a scalp numbing feeling just looking at them. Jiang Chen didn’t feel that he had the strength to engage in direct battle.
The Goldbiter Rats?
They were strong, but Jiang Chen wasn’t sure if he would thoroughly provoke this lord if he released the Rats, and result in his opponent awakening to another level.
Jiang Chen didn’t want to run the risk of causing the Lord of the Golden Seal to awaken to a higher level unless he was forced to.
Besides, judging from the way the lord was currently slurring its words, it seemed rather low level for now.
