# Chapter 787: Pull Up by the Roots! (Bonus Chapter)
Jiangnan naturally had his own considerations!
No matter who drove in this nail, they definitely weren't planning anything good.
If he didn't pull it out, wouldn't that be playing right into their hands?
The Abyss was being continuously affected. Not only was the core unusable, but Bad Sister Mi Ye couldn't even be the queen anymore!
She was pretty good to him... well... to Jiang Lan anyway!
If he didn't help, Jiangnan himself would feel bad about it!
Having made up his mind, Jiangnan didn't directly pull out the nail. Instead, he teleported to the connection point between the chain and the void!
He grabbed the crystal chain and tried to pull it out.
Couldn't budge it?
So he pulled out the Blood-Drinking Halberd and prepared to chop!
Jiang Ning: !!!
"Aren't we pulling out the nail? Why are you chopping it now?"
Jiangnan: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭Ψ
"Even if I pull it out, I can't take it with me. Of course I have to cut it at the root, then pack up the chain and the nail together to take away!"
Jiang Ning: (⑉ÕзÕ) Pfft~
So this was the legendary "pull up by the roots"?
You really are going to take it away?
[From Jiang Ning: Resentment Value +666!]
As he spoke, Jiangnan opened seven gates plus Blood Incineration and swung with all his might!
"Clang!"
His tiger's mouth split open, the halberd was knocked out of his hands from the vibration, and the crystal chain remained completely unharmed!
Jiangnan: (｡˘•~•˘) "Hmm... Why can't I cut anything?"
"Is this chain even harder than that old holy man's forehead?"
Odin: (๑•̌ࡇ•̑๑) Huh?
Jiangnan looked helpless and turned to Jiang Ning for help!
Jiang Ning spread her hands, equally helpless: "Don't look at me, I can't touch that thing!"
"This nail can hurt the Creation Beast, so naturally it can hurt me too!"
Jiangnan was stunned, realizing that the nail seemed to deal true damage to Bose lifeforms!
Otherwise, the Creation Beast wouldn't be stuck here doing hard labor.
He raised an eyebrow: "Come on, little bro! Help big brother cut this chain. I don't feel like doing it myself!"
Odin swallowed his saliva and said weakly: "I... me? I don't dare..."
Jiangnan rolled his eyes. Ever since Odin's brain got scrambled, how had he become so timid?
"What's there to be afraid of? Big brother has your back! Just use whatever tricks you've got!"
"I saved your life, and you won't even do this little favor for big brother?"
Odin hesitated for a long time: (๑•̀◠•́)و I'll help!
As he spoke, his whole body blazed with light as he flew to the root of the chain!
After scratching his head, he stretched out a finger and pointed!
"S-Sky-Piercing Light Finger?"
-`(๐•̀～•́)☛❂───✦✦
An intense beam of light shot from Odin's fingertip, striking the chain directly, causing an incredibly violent explosion!
Jiangnan teleported away repeatedly, his face turning pale!
Wasn't this the same move that nearly killed Fito and flattened the Mi Guo Explorers' Camp?
He quickly slipped behind Jiang Ning to hide!
|･᷄ὢ･᷅)
"Not bad, not bad! Your move is already almost 1% as strong as big brother's!"
Odin said excitedly: "Really? Then let me try a bit harder!"
Xia Yao: (≖ᴗ≖๑)
You can't believe a single word, not even the punctuation, that comes out of this guy's mouth!
Believe him and you lose!
But after the Sky-Piercing Light Finger, the crystal chain was still intact!
Odin was stunned for a moment, then looked unconvinced!
"Solar Flare Heavenly Grace!"
His left foot suddenly blazed with an extremely bright red light, and he kicked out at a speed surpassing everything!
"Boom!"
The energy released even dyed the sky red, like a solar flare erupting!
The energy waves were so intense that even Jiang Ning had to defend with Bose Particles!
Space trembled like a torn cloth!
Cold sweat dripped from Jiangnan's forehead. This Odin guy was kinda strong!
But he still pretended to be calm!
"Mm-hmm, nice power. Almost as strong as one of big brother's pinky fingers!"
(￢◡￢)･᷄ㅂ･᷅٥)
Yet the chain was still completely unharmed!
Odin exclaimed in surprise: "Only one pinky finger? Let me try harder!"
"Heavenly Dawn Light Sword!"
As he spoke, the light on his body condensed, and a blazing white light sword formed in his hand!
The blade extended who knows how far, even piercing through the membrane on the tenth level's high altitude!
-`(⑉･᷅～･᷄)つC=={{≡≡≡≡
The forty-meter-long blade was nothing compared to this!
"Light Drive. Infinite Chain Slash!"
In that instant, Odin's entire body turned into a light form. Holding the sword with both hands, he slashed at the chain with an incredibly high frequency!
No one knew how many times he struck in a second. The energy fluctuations he caused even created tiny cracks in space!
The momentum was terrifying, churning the tenth layer into a mess!
Jiang Ning's expression turned serious: "This person is much stronger than me. There are very few humans who have reached his level. You really need to be careful!"
Jiangnan: (٥˃᷄ㅂ˂᷅) "Aha~ haha, no big deal. What big scenes haven't I seen?"
But after Odin finished slashing, the chain still had nothing wrong with it!
Odin was stunned, then looked at Jiangnan excitedly: "Big brother! How was my move? Did it have the power of one of big brother's hands?"
Jiangnan stepped forward, patted Odin's shoulder, and put on a serious expression!
"Don't sell yourself short! Your move has already reached the power of one of big brother's arms!"
"That's why you're big brother's right-hand man, right?"
Odin: -`(๑•̀ᗜ•́) "Since big brother is so powerful, why don't you cut this chain yourself?"
"I couldn't break it, but big brother can definitely do it, right?"
Jiangnan: (٥⌒_⌒)……
Xia Yao: (˵ಡกಡ˵) Giggles~ You're done for!
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips: "S-Since that's the case, then big brother will have to show a little skill!"
As he spoke, he pulled out the Small Stool and stood in front of the chain!
He kept praying in his heart: Small Stool, Small Stool, don't let me down at this critical moment!
Since it's a defense-piercing artifact, able to even hit Dao Heaven rank cultivators, it should be able to smash this chain, right?
Odin watched Jiangnan from the side, anticipation in his eyes!
Jiangnan raised the Small Stool high and smashed it down on the root of the chain!
"Crack!"
With one smash, a tiny crack appeared on the crystal chain!
Then the entire crystal link broke off!
Jiangnan: (٥ʘ̆口ʘ̆)ﾉ╧╧
Xia Yao: (*ﾟﾛﾟ)!! Oh ho~
Jiang Ning: ‼(•'Δ'•۶)۶ Ah!
Odin was dumbfounded: -`(✧ꇴ✧)´- "Heavens! In just one move?"
"As expected of big brother! That's incredible!"
Jiangnan: (٥˘～˘) "S-See? I told you, it's not that big brother isn't awesome, it's just that big brother doesn't like to show off!"
But he was ecstatic inside!
The Small Stool really was a divine artifact! A chain that Odin couldn't cut, and he broke it with one hit?
Jiangnan unceremoniously coiled up the crystal chain, stood on the Creation Beast's head, and pulled hard!
The nail driven into its skull came out along with the chain!
He turned around and stuffed it all into his Alternate Dimension, then clapped his hands!
Done!
The Creation Beast, now freed from the nail, shook its massive head!
It raised its head and let out a wild roar!
Startled, Jiangnan quickly teleported everyone down from its head!
But this roar no longer carried pain and restlessness—only joy and delight!
The spirit wave that had been causing headaches and splitting pain also vanished!
The beast's roar was long and carried all the way into every Ling Xu in the Abyss!
At this moment, everyone in the Abyss, even those on the first level in Nightless City, vaguely heard the roar!
They all looked confused!
Jiangnan, however, smiled brightly. The spirit wave had disappeared. The "Original Sin" that had shrouded the Abyss's seventh level should be gone too, right?
Just then, the Creation Beast's lake-sized eyes fell upon Jiangnan!
Its gaze was full of affection. Its massive body actually began to move! Its enormous head leaned toward Jiangnan!
Jiangnan: !!!
"Ahh! What does it want? Run! We—"
Jiangnan turned to flee, but Jiang Ning grabbed his shoulder!
"Don't! The Creation Beast is showing you affection! This is a sacred beast! This is a rare opportunity. Don't move!"
But Jiangnan's heart was panicking. Such a huge thing showing affection to me?
If it rubs against me, I'm done for!
The Creation Beast leaned in. The scene of him coughing up blood and being sent flying that Jiangnan imagined didn't happen.
Instead, it pressed the foremost horn on its forehead against Jiangnan's forehead!
A dense stream of ten-colored energy flowed out from its horn and poured into Jiangnan's body!
Jiangnan felt incredibly comfortable, as if soaking in warm water!
His rank directly surged from Platinum I to Platinum II!
But a large amount of the ten-colored energy simply dissipated from Jiangnan's body!
As a human, Jiangnan didn't know how to utilize this energy!
Fortunately, he still had the one-time charging skill and managed to store a small portion!
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning's little face flushed with excitement. She absorbed quite a bit of the ten-colored energy spilling out of Jiangnan's body!
Her horn gradually lit up with ten-colored light before fading away. Her aura was stronger than before!
Odin, caught in the torrent of ten-colored energy, also looked confused!
For some reason, his body inexplicably absorbed a tiny strand as well!
Only Xia Yao didn't get any.
Jiangnan scratched his head: "What is this ten-colored energy? It actually boosted me by one star? And I stored a clump of it..."
Jiang Ning said excitedly: "It's a treasure! An incredibly rare treasure! Don't use this clump, understand?"
"Keep it safe. Use it when you reach Dao Heaven!"
Jiangnan was stunned. Was it really that precious?
It felt like saving up for a wife—wait until you get married to use it?
