Chapter 1104: Chapter 1087: Feng Yao Relic, Li Huo Divine Palace!

Soon, Xiao Chen and the Thunderbolt Divine Marquis agreed to meet again in the Sky Domain, while the other Human Warriors in the Phoenix Rock Ancient City also bid farewell to Xiao Chen one by one.

Xiao Chen’s strength had earned their respect; even though he had not yet stepped into the Forbidden Realm, his current power was already out of their reach.

This was the sublimation and transformation of combat power. Although they were all geniuses of a domain, the path of Martial Arts is like a single-plank bridge, not everyone can reach the absolute peak.

In these days, coming to the God Strength World and personally witnessing Xiao Chen slaughtering the foreign geniuses, from mid-tier Half-King combat power to the quasi-Forbidden strength of the Half-King Peak Realm, it was a qualitative transformation. Many warriors watching the battle had profound feelings.

Many Human Warriors began to leave the God Strength World, either returning to the Human World or continuing to venture deeper into the Deep Void, or even heading to the Beyond Realm Celestial, or to the Eastern Wasteland Sky Domain!

In Xiao Chen’s hand, he held a silver blade about an inch long. This was a token left by Da Wuqing of the King-level Tribe, inviting him to visit the central and southern domains of the King-level Tribe.

The Eastern Wasteland South Region was the weakest among the five domains of the Eastern Wasteland, evident from the number and quality of the young strong ones. Not only were there fewer in number, but the quality was also concerning!

Take Da Wuqing for example, whose combat power was mid-tier in the Half-King Peak Realm, it was quite rare in the Eastern Wasteland South Region. Of course, this did not rule out disciples from reclusive families in the Southern Domain who had not emerged, but compared to other domains, it was still significantly less.

However, this time Xiao Chen’s strong rise was enough to sweep away the decline of the Eastern Wasteland South Region!

Putting away the silver blade, Xiao Chen owed a life-saving favor to the King-level Tribe. Originally in the Deep Void, when he was ambushed by the golden-armored king of the Scorpion Clan, it was the King of the King-level Tribe who arrived and drove away the golden-armored king, something he learned only afterward.

He should indeed visit the King-level Tribe when the opportunity arises, as the development of the Gu Yuan Tribe is inevitably linked to them!

Boom!

In the now silent God Strength World, a thunderous booming erupted once more. The Phoenix Rock Ancient City trembled violently, and the divine tree Jian Mu, towering tens of thousands of feet tall, shone with immeasurable divine light, and divine birds sang.

Cheep!

The Jian Mu seemed like a true Kunpeng soaring in the nine heavens, its form growing more solid, with auras whirling around it in dance-like motions. Xiao Chen could hear joy in its chirping.

Over the past days, Jian Mu had feasted greatly, the massive amount of blood and bone energy essence had not been fully absorbed by the Divine Tree.

Suddenly, Jian Mu began to shrink rapidly, and within a dozen breaths, transformed into a small sapling about several feet in size, floating before Xiao Chen. The spirit of Jian Mu swooped to his front, blinked its lively eyes, and locked gazes with him.

For Spiritual and Divine Trees, as long as there is sufficient energy to absorb, they can grow rapidly. The rich supply of energy also made the spirit of Jian Mu more sentient and lively.

Soon Xiao Chen took the Jian Mu back into the Mountain and River Seal World, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood in the Void with piercing eyes, looking at the ancient city ruins that spanned a hundred miles, feeling a sense of indescribable meaning.

Phoenix Rock Ancient City, it was said to have been the traveling palace constructed by the divine child of the Phoenix Race. After changes in heaven and earth and the silence of the divine beings, the palace was naturally abandoned. After countless years of erosion, only ruins remained.

While it’s called ruins, it looks more like a floating stone slab in the God Strength World. Countless floating ruins scattered throughout the God Strength World, some still inhabited by beings.

But just in terms of ancient relics, there are few such ruins with age-old legends like the Phoenix Rock Ancient City, which has floated through the ages without destruction.

Could the power of the divine really be so terrifying?

"Luli, what is so special about this abandoned relic?"

After observing for a long time, Xiao Chen still couldn’t detect anything particularly unusual. The only notable feature was the extremely sturdy remnants of the ancient city.

Even after his successive battles, which caused giant cracks to appear, they quickly self-repaired to perfection.

"Master, the reason why this broken ancient city has not been annihilated in the Deep Void is because its core has not been completely destroyed. That’s also why, master, during your battle, the city split open with huge gaps but still repaired itself as before!"

"The core?"

Xiao Chen wondered. This dilapidated ruin of an ancient city, if there was still a core intact, it hardly seemed likely.

But his eyes soon lit up with excitement. If there truly was a remaining core, and the rumors about this ancient city ruin were true — this was a God’s City!

The remnants of the core, even if partially annihilated, might still bear the mark of divine beings!

However, Xiao Chen soon sobered up. If there truly was a core that had not been destroyed, would it really have waited for him to find it through all these years?

"Master, opportunities and fates need to be destined. This ancient city remains floating in the Endless Void and rarely appears before people. Moreover, the prevailing cultivation in the Desolate Land today is not the power of gods, so it’s not surprising that it has remained!"

Feeling Xiao Chen’s emotional fluctuations, Luli’s voice rang out again.

"Luli, can you sense the core of this ancient city?"

Xiao Chen asked immediately. No matter how mysterious the ruins of the ancient city were, obtaining the opportunity was what mattered most!

"Of course, Luli is an eternal true spirit, with the most delicate perception towards spiritual beings. Underneath the eastern part of this ancient city, there is still a faint sliver of spirit leaking out, albeit very weak. It’s nearly on the verge of destruction!"

"The east side below?"

Xiao Chen’s gaze locked onto that spot in an instant, and he eagerly asked, "Can it be extracted?"

"Certainly, as long as the ancient city ruins are shattered, the master can manifest the core that remains of this ancient city by commanding divine power."

"Good!"

Xiao Chen didn’t delay any further. His figure stepping forward, he arrived above the eastern sky, the Mountain and River Seal materializing in his hand, the world of divine force emerged behind him, vast divine power infused into the Mountain and River Seal, unleashing peak combat strength in an instant.

"Shatter!"

The Mountain and River Seal, carrying tremendous divine might, descended, stamping onto the Phoenix Rock Ancient City!

Boom!

A loud roar echoed as the Mountain and River Seal fell upon the ancient city, splashing out dazzling divine light.

Crack crack!

This part of the ancient city was so durable it was infuriating; Xiao Chen’s strike could now destroy heaven and earth, but while other areas of the city displayed large cracks, this region remained intact, showing no signs of being affected by the heavy blow.

Suppress! Suppress! Suppress!

Xiao Chen did not stop, his body radiating divine light, with vast divine power continuously plunging down. The area around the entire ancient city was shattered under his great power, but this place remained as stable as Mount Tai.

This revealed the unique nature of this place!

Clang clang clang!

The sound of metal striking metal rang out, sparks flying, each one as dazzling as a tiny star, yet this part of the ancient city ruins remained unmovable.

The more this was the case, the more Xiao Chen felt it to be real. If it had been easily broken by him, such a fate would not have fallen to him to obtain.

After relentless attacks numbering in the hundreds, finally, a sound of shattering came through.

It cracked open!

Along with the opening crack, a faint divine essence spilled out, each strand making Xiao Chen feel incredibly heavy as if a great mountain had fallen.

Genuine divine power!

Xiao Chen could feel the divine power spilling out, although it was extremely faint, it exuded a profound and heavy aura.

In comparison to the divine power he had evolved, it was still too immature, like the difference between a child and an elder, a disparity of time’s consolidation and accumulation, unrelated to whether the burst of strength was formidable or not.

Hum hum hum!

He suddenly felt an indescribable sensation arise; ethereal fiery golden lotuses manifested, spilling out from the cracks, and even illusory springs gushed from these fissures.

This was the power of divine beings, utterly inconceivable; even after such an immeasurably long passage of time, such wonders still lingered.

Hum!

Finally, in front of Xiao Chen, a dazzling divine light materialized, even he was blinded for a moment as if the whole world turned to daylight.

It was a flame orb, about ten feet in size, incredibly ethereal as if a gust of wind could shatter it, with divine texts floating above it!

Xiao Chen’s eyes were fixed on the flickering divine texts, these living-text-like divine scripts, transforming into thoughts and manifesting in Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea!

"Li Huo Palace."

All at once, Xiao Chen was enlightened, knowing the name of this ruin. This Phoenix Rock Ancient City, which had been passed down through the ages with legends, its true name was the Li Huo Palace.

It was merely a side hall; in other words, this ancient city site that spanned a hundred miles and had been celebrated for countless ages was just a very small part of a vastly immense palace complex!

As for whose divine palace it actually was, there was no way to know!

As for the rumors, Xiao Chen was neither dismissive nor convinced; after all, rumors were just that, and the ruin known as the Phoenix Rock Ancient City had been spoken of since long ago.

Having secured this core orb, now was not the time to study it; the treasures within the ruins were in hand, and it was time to return to the borderlands!

As for the Phoenix Rock Ancient City, extolled by the world, having lost its energy core, it might not be long before it is annihilated by the endless Void World.

Gu Yuan Tribe.

Today was the day when a group of children of the tribe were to build the foundation of martial arts. Compared to the past, the development of the Gu Yuan Tribe had now entered the right track, and a set of methods had gradually been found for training the tribe’s warriors.

Almost every six months, the tribe would hold a foundation-building for the children, which had become the norm for the tribe.

As the newly appointed head of the Performing Martial Arts Hall of the tribe, Elder Shi was presently looking over the children bathing in the blood pool with a beaming smile. After the initial nurturing with Spirit Medicine Treasured Blood, these children had begun their journey on the path of martial arts.
