I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World
Chapter 417 - 417 Heavenly Artillery Armory

Chen Baxian's taunting face was enormously provocative.

He Tianxiong had not expected that Chen Baxian would be even more arrogant and insolent than the last time he came to the Capital City.

"Chen Baxian, you are courting death!"

He Tianxiong's eyes darkened, yet he was also slightly startled.

Chen Baxian's rate of progress was uncannily rapid.

The last time he had come to the Capital City, he hadn't even reached the threshold of the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

Now, only a few years had passed, and he was merely a step away from the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

However, this step was not so easy to cross, and Chen Baxian daring to confront him was still an act of insubordination!

Just then, an eerie voice suddenly filled the air.

"He Tianxiong, as a Commander, you are still so recklessly calling for a fight, what kind of example are you setting?

Without a proper investigation, you cause such a stir, where are the rules of the Demon Cleansing Bureau?

Fang Henge has already reported to me. Wu Yunfei, Pang Zhen, and Lu Tianfang were corrupt and violated the rules of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and they deserved to die!

This matter is now completely resolved, don't persist in your needless interference!"

He Tianxiong's expression changed abruptly, and he quickly retracted the force he was about to unleash, his face turning red with restraint.

"Yes, I have been reckless, please forgive me, Grand Commander."

He Tianxiong took a deep breath, greeted the air with clasped hands, and turned around to leave sharply and decisively.

Nonetheless, Han Zheng could clearly see the chilling demeanor in his sunken eyes.

Chen Baxian turned back and spoke, "The Grand Commander just spoke. Fang Henge has passed all the evidence up, and the Grand Commander has determined that the deaths of Wu Yunfei and the others was justified. Even He Tianxiong can't use this matter against us anymore.

However, the animosity has already been formed. You must be extremely cautious in your future actions, and not give He Tianxiong any leverage against you."

Han Zheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will be careful."

"I have already thought about your arrangement. It will definitely be within the Thirteen Guards, but I am not sure exactly which guard unit yet.

You have quite a bit of merit, and I suggest you first cultivate in the Heavenly Artillery Armory.

If your cultivation further improves, you can then be assigned to a specific guard unit based on your cultivation level at that time."

Han Zheng clasped his hands and said, "I will follow your arrangements completely."

Chen Baxian was genuinely treating Han Zheng as a confidant, having arranged everything perfectly.

Han Zheng followed Chen Baxian as they moved left and right within the headquarters of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, coming to a hall shrouded in golden light and completely enveloped by arrays.

At the entrance of that hall were two Xuan Gang Realm Demon Sweeping Captains guarding it. After verifying their tokens, they entered and found yet another door, but this one was an iron door engraved with arrays, guarded by two Dan Sea Realm Garrison Captains.

After verifying their tokens again, they opened the array-etched gate, revealing an even larger bronze door engraved with additional arrays.

The giant door was twenty to thirty zhang high, but the hall was only a few zhang high, likely due to a space-encompassing array.

The two guarding Garrison Captains had already condensed their True Pills and were Martial Arts Grandmasters, though they were older and had graying hair.

After verifying their tokens, Chen Baxian asked, "How long can Han Zheng's merit allow him to enter the Heavenly Artillery Armory?"

One guarding Grandmaster responded, "This young friend enters the Heavenly Artillery Armory for the first time for three days. If he uses all his merit for the Armory, it totals eleven days and a fraction of two hours."

Chen Baxian then asked Han Zheng, "Do you want to convert all your accumulated merit into cultivation time in the Heavenly Artillery Armory? Remember, the Capital Demon Suppression Department's treasury has various cultivation techniques and divine weapons."

Han Zheng shook his head and said, "No need, let's convert it all into cultivation time."

With the Taotie Furnace at hand, Han Zheng now lacked nothing in terms of cultivation techniques.

He also had no shortage of weapons, given the Heavenly Demon Transformation. What was most important this time was for him to successfully cultivate the Heavenly Demon Pill Method and step into the realm of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

The two guarding grandmasters nodded, opened the huge bronze gates, and instantly, a boundless surge of spiritual energy, almost solidifying into liquid, enveloped Han Zheng.

It was then that Han Zheng understood why the Heavenly Artillery Armory had three layers of gates, each guarding it meticulously.

This place indeed deserved to be called a supreme cultivation sanctuary!

Stepping into the Heavenly Artillery Armory, Han Zheng saw everything enveloped in a misty, liquid spiritual energy, wrapping around his body and providing a warm, comfortable sensation.

Looking up, he saw in mid-air various traces of swords, knives, and even fist and palm prints, each mark imbued with its inherent power.

Merely by glancing once, Han Zheng felt his comprehension of sword skills had improved.

He instantly realized that these marks must have been left by the Martial Saint Yu Jiu, intended to let future generations entering the Heavenly Artillery Armory better understand the true essence of these powers.

The Heavenly Artillery Armory was not only a sanctuary abundant in spiritual energy for cultivation but also significantly enhanced one's combat abilities.

However, what he needed to enhance presently was his cultivation realm, not his martial skills, so he couldn't linger too long.

Han Zheng took a deep breath and immediately sat down cross-legged, beginning his cultivation.

Time waited for no one, and in the Heavenly Artillery Armory, every second was precious and counted by the hour.

The spiritual energy, akin to flowing water, surged into Han Zheng's body, nourishing his physical form.

This spiritual energy inside the armory differed greatly from that of the outside world. Its attribute was exceptionally gentle, requiring almost no digestion as it naturally transformed into his own power, even more potent than elixirs.

After all, elixirs also required time to be metabolized, and with too much power accumulated, one had to worry about the power backfiring. However, the power inside the armory spared him these concerns.

Han Zheng's physical strength was robust, and his foundation was profound, which meant he required more cultivation resources for his breakthrough than most of his peers.

For ten continuous days, Han Zheng immersed himself in profound cultivation, rapidly accumulating his power base.

But, as Yan Xuankong had stated, merely relying on the Heavenly Artillery Armory was far from enough to achieve a breakthrough.

Indeed, the Heavenly Artillery Armory was a sacred place for cultivation, but it wasn't a place where just anyone could freely cultivate.

Han Zheng had reserved one day for himself to prepare to open his Dan Sea, and as soon as the tenth day passed, he entered the Taotie Furnace to begin using up his Hunger Level for cultivation.

He, however, soon regretted starting his cultivation.

He should have chosen to first cultivate inside the Taotie Furnace and relied on the armory's cultivation afterward.

The speed of cultivation inside the armory was incredibly fast, which previously made Han Zheng feel as though he was flying in an airplane.

Now, normal cultivation inside the Taotie Furnace felt incredibly slow, not even comparable to an oxcart's pace, which could only be described as a painful transition from luxury to austerity.

Fortunately, Han Zheng had adapted to the time-freezing cultivation in the Taotie Furnace. As long as he immersed his mind, this type of cultivation did not consume too much heart power.

His Hunger Level depleted like flowing water, with the initial 500,000 Hunger Level pushing his cultivation to its peak.

The True Pills refined by most martial artists in the True Pill Realm were only the size of a pigeon egg, yet when Han Zheng obtained Qin Wumie's Martial Arts True Pill, he found it to be the size of a fist.

Now, with ten days of cultivation in the Heavenly Artillery Armory and an additional 500,000 Hunger Level, he directly pushed his Heavenly Demon True Pill to an enormous size of double fists.

It was covered in black and red swirls, with mysterious golden patterns all around, symbolizing the naturally formed forces of heaven and earth post-condensation.

The aura of the True Pill was like neither demon nor mystery, resembling the natural creation of the universe, containing an extremely powerful and surging essence. Even Han Zheng's Dantian felt almost too small to contain this powerful True Pill.

Stepping out of the Taotie Furnace, Han Zheng slightly furrowed his brows.

It seemed he might have overdone it.

The Heavenly Demon Pill Method, a technique of reversing the opening of the Dan Sea, was inherently more perilous and challenging than the normal cultivation for martial artists.

Han Zheng had even produced an exceptionally powerful True Pill, and if he were to open the Dan Sea now, he feared he might explode and die from the overwhelming force.
