Chapter 78 Thunder City
On the black robe, forty-six acquired divine restrictions crisscrossed, shining brightly, embodying the myriad spirits of humanity.
"An acquired treasure? Indeed, with the blessing of the innate Star Tree, the human race's fortune has increased considerably!" Seeing this, Feng Zichen couldn't help but smile.
After Feng Zichen's refinement, the black robe had become a treasure of fortune, similar to the Suiren Lamp, growing stronger with the increase of the human race's fortune.
The black robe possessed the level of an acquired treasure from its very inception, a level higher than the Suiren Lamp, demonstrating that the human race's fortune had indeed increased significantly compared to then.
With a thought, sparks of fire ignited, and the Suiren Lamp emerged from the human race's fortune. The Suiren Lamp, which was
a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure just a few years ago, now had forty-six acquired divine restrictions faintly visible on its surface, reflecting a brilliant light of civilization.
The primordial stars possess a trace of the celestial cosmic fortune. With its blessing, the human race's fortune immediately surged. The Suiren Lamp, being a treasure of human fortune, naturally rose in value accordingly, becoming an acquired supreme treasure.
"Good! With these two great acquired supreme treasures, the human race's survival rate in the upcoming beast chaos will increase significantly!" Feng Zichen excitedly muttered to himself, waving his hand to infuse the black robe and Suiren Lamp into the human race's fortune.
It should be known that the power of an acquired supreme treasure is no less than that of a primordial spiritual treasure. Even the supreme treasure projections summoned by the human immortals cannot unleash their full power. But having a spiritual treasure for everyone is better than being empty-handed.
After all, the human race's foundation is shallow; they cannot provide every immortal with an acquired spiritual treasure.
Taking out the Nest Palace, Feng Zichen glanced at the Hongmeng Dao Bell and the Chaos Pearl, sighed helplessly, and silently put them away.
If the nest palace of the Youchao clan could also be refined into a treasure of destiny, then the human race would possess three acquired supreme treasures. At that time, their ability to deal with the chaos of ferocious beasts would be greatly enhanced.
Unfortunately, after expelling two streams of primordial energy over the past century, the Hongmeng Dao Bell and the Chaos Pearl had reached their limits. Taking out another stream of primordial energy would likely damage their foundation and cause them to drop in grade.
Having done all this, Feng Zichen flashed out of the Zichen Cave Heaven and headed towards the Lei clan tribe. The twelve tribes, located outside the ancestral land, were the stepping stones for the human race to reach the prehistoric world; they could not be lost. In just a few days, a massive city appeared before Feng Zichen's eyes—the location of the Lei clan tribe.
Indeed, this Lei City was personally planned, located, and built by Feng Zichen himself.
Even after so many years of development by the Lei clan and the continuous expansion of Lei City, its outline still retained traces of its former self.
To travel as quickly as possible, Feng Zichen did not attempt to conceal his aura as a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Therefore, even before he approached Thunder City, his immense aura had already pressed down upon it.
"Who goes there?"
Sensing Feng Zichen's aura, a majestic voice echoed from within Thunder City, followed by a burly middle-aged man striding out.
"Leiming Clan, it is I!" Quickly concealing his aura, Feng Zichen stood before Leiming Clan.
"You are... Zichen Clan! You've actually broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm! How could you do it so quickly?" Recognizing Feng Zichen, Leiming Clan asked in disbelief.
In just ten thousand years, Feng Zichen had gone from the Profound Immortal realm directly to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Such speed was unheard of; how could the Leiming Clan not be astonished!
"This matter was purely by chance, let's not dwell on it! But you, the chaos of the ferocious beasts is imminent; what are your plans for Thunder City?" Avoiding Leiming Clan's question, Feng Zichen countered.
"Alas! What else can we do? If we can defend, we will; if not, we'll retreat to the shores of the East Sea and await the future. It's just a pity about my nearly ten-thousand-year-old foundation!" Mentioning the chaos of the ferocious beasts, Lei Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"You're quite magnanimous. I thought you would hold the city and fight to the death!" Hearing this, Feng Zichen couldn't help but be somewhat surprised. Lei Ming's attitude was surprisingly good.
He had been thinking on the way, trying to persuade him to give up defending the city, but unexpectedly, the man was quite open-minded and didn't need any persuasion.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. If things are beyond my control, why would I foolishly stay here and wait to die!" Scratching his head, Lei Ming chuckled.
"Hmm! Seeing how magnanimous you are, I'm relieved." The harsh environment had changed Lei Ming considerably, making him more worldly-wise.
Of course, this was a good thing. Without adaptability, how could one establish a place to live and survive in the cruel prehistoric world?
"By the way, what brings you here?" After exchanging pleasantries, Lei Mingshi got down to business.
"In recent years, I've traveled throughout the primordial world, and my understanding of the Great Dao has deepened. I've recently comprehended a new array formation, and I plan to modify the one I left here years ago to help you protect Thunder City." Mentioning the important matter, Feng Zichen also became serious.
"That's wonderful! The array you set up back then helped me a great deal. Now that your strength has greatly increased, the power of any array you set up will surely be considerable!" With that, Lei Mingshi quickly pulled Feng Zichen towards Thunder City.
Not long after Thunder City was established, a large number of ferocious beasts attacked. If it weren't for the array Feng Zichen set up, which drew in the energy of the eight directions' veins and kept the beasts at bay, Thunder City would have been destroyed long ago.
Back then, Feng Zichen was only at the initial stage of the Profound Immortal realm, yet the array he set up was able to hold off several Taiyi ferocious beasts. Now that he has reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, the array he has set up must be extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Lei Ming felt a surge of excitement, feeling that his chances of defending Lei City had increased considerably. After all, it was the foundation he had painstakingly built; how could he easily abandon it unless absolutely necessary?
"Roar!"
In the heart of Lei City, the dragon vein energy surged forth, emitting bursts of dragon roars. Deep within the dragon energy, wisps of purple energy gathered, radiating supreme majesty.
That purple energy was divine and holy, the imperial energy nurtured by Feng Zichen from the eight dragon veins, possessing the power to destroy all laws.
"So many years have passed, and the imperial energy has grown considerably. This rampage of ferocious beasts will be its time to shine." As he spoke, Feng Zichen repeatedly made hand seals, the Daoist rhyme swirling around him.
With a boom!
The Chaos Pearl flew out from Feng Zichen's body, casting wisps of chaotic energy that engulfed the array before him.
As the chaotic energy surged, the great formation shattered, leaving only the Emperor's aura shining brightly with purple light, desperately resisting the engulfing power of the chaotic energy.
Once the great formation had completely disappeared, Feng Zichen pointed his finger, and the Chaos Pearl trembled violently. The surging chaotic energy immediately calmed down, floating quietly in the void.
"Condense!"
He murmured, as if a celestial sound had resounded, and the power of the Heavenly Dao suddenly descended—the long-awaited supreme divine power—the Heavenly Decree held in one's mouth.
