Chapter 604: 0380 Phoenix Call to the Nine Heavens (Requesting monthly tickets and subscriptions)

The second Divine Weapon is a pair of ancient and heavy war boots.

Also mainly black, they are adorned with a pattern of a red flaming serpent outlined in golden thread.

The serpent is surrounded by clouds of flames, with a human head on a snake’s body, exuding overwhelming ferocity.

Ye Changkong introduced: "These are the [Golden Silk Fire Shoes], primarily crafted from the snake skin of the Fourth Rank Red Cloud Demon King you purchased, woven with Mo Yun Xuan Gold and the silk spat by a Heavenly Grade mutant beast, the Volcano Spider King. They weigh 663 pounds and 4 ounces. For now, they don’t possess any divine abilities, but they have exceptionally strong resistance to high temperatures. Ordinary forging boilers for Divine Weapons cannot melt them. Wearing these shoes, you can walk across a sea of fire and even travel over molten earth fire without problems."

This is yet another top-class Intermediate Divine Weapon embryo, much better than the [Ten Directions Cloud Stepping Boots]. When worn, a warm current rushes from the soles straight to the crown of the head, invigorating his Qi-Blood, as if just warmed up, instantly entering a battle-ready state. With a forceful step, shockwaves ripple across the ground, propelling him skyward into the clouds!

"Hahaha! Refreshing!"

Lu Chenzhou, donned in full armor, resembled a mythical Heavenly Soldier, majestic and unparalleled.

His every move carried an invisible oppressive force.

"Armor is also a man’s romance."

Lu Chenzhou descended from the sky, skillfully harnessing the Swallow Form, landing gracefully without feeling cumbersome.

He clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, Master, for the grace of forging the armor."

Ye Changkong chuckled: "No need for gratitude. I should thank you. My business has relied on your patronage over the years, haha."

In truth, the fee Ye Changkong charged for this Divine Weapon crafting was very low.

The All Nations Martial Arts Competition has already proven Lu Chenzhou as a peerless genius in Da Xia, a unique existence. Establishing good ties with Lu Chenzhou, riding on his success, Ye Changkong could further advance his path as a Divine Craftsman. No matter how powerful Lu Chenzhou becomes in the future, when his biography is penned by future generations, it will surely mention:

"[Lu’s Divine Armor was painstakingly forged over countless years by Ye Changkong, the twenty-sixth successor of Hidden Sword Manor, using rare treasures from across the world!]"

...

The next day.

Wearing the Yaksha Sea Flipping Armor, stepping in Golden Silk Fire Shoes, with the Surging Gold Dividing Water Bracelet on his hand, and his head covered with the Tiger Flood Dragon Wind Armor, Lu Chenzhou headed out of the city in grand fashion. Low-profile was impossible. With his fame, stealth would be unrealistic. A full set of Divine Equipment boldly made him the most dazzling Martial Arts Master in the world!

"Recasting the Tiger Gall Spear to Top Class requires 800,000 Battle Merit-worth [Yunling Xuan Water]..."

Lu Chenzhou had only 50,000 Battle Merit remaining, mostly from the little Demon King he slew yesterday.

"The plan now is to hunt demons while challenging towers. With my current strength, 800,000 is just a matter of time."

He avoided the Black Water Profound Snake’s territory and did not encounter the Night Slaying Demon King, smoothly returning to Su City.

...

In fact, the Night Slaying Demon King left Thousand Island Lake not to hunt down Lu Chenzhou.

Jiangnan is vast, and to pursue an Earth List expert, how could it be possible?

Though it’s a Demon King with a cloud of Great Demons under its command, it couldn’t accomplish this.

Humans have a saying: "You can escape as a monk, but not the monastery."

It arrived at Jiangnan’s largest lake, Yun Meng Lake, where it met the Great Demon King Black Fathom in the Black Water Palace.

Inside the palace, there were nearly thirty Demon King-level presences, including the renowned Inspiration Demon King, Fire Teeth Demon King, and others...

Today marked the grand assembly of Jiangnan’s demons, clearly discussing important matters.

With everyone present, Black Fathom King intoned: "Received orders from the Star Palace, requiring us in March, before Zouyu Water Mansion opens, to launch a surprise raid on Su City Base City, the weakest in overall strength among Jiangnan’s three base cities. The target is to capture Divine Son Lu Chenzhou alive, and if alive capture is not possible, then kill him!"

The Inspiration Demon King flashed a cruel smile: "Alright! Finally taking action against this boy!"

The Night Slaying Demon King said grimly: "He killed my son Black Jue, he must pay with his blood!"

Black Fathom King frowned:

"Do not act on impulse. Try to capture him alive. This is the Witch’s decree, not to be defied. As fellow fathers, I understand your feelings now... but your belief in [Devouring Star Demon Fish],[Blood Ancient God], and my master [Heavenly Snake Demon God], they have all declared allegiance to the Witch, we must unify our front!"

During this time, the Forbidden Zones too were engaged in both overt and covert confrontations.

The Witch was furious; at such a critical moment, the Stars and All Gods still harbored selfish motives, believing the victory in war must belong to the Stars.

Only the Witch, with His powerful foresight, glimpsed a hint of defeat in the distant future.

Though small, it was indeed there.

This variable might be the Divine Court and Qi Refiner’s contingency, might be the Eternal Immortal, might be the Dragon King... it could also be Lu Chenzhou.

In sum, numerous variables need to be controlled or eliminated promptly.

Currently, the Stars and All Gods are betting on both ends.

On one hand, they pay the price to send more Demon Venerables to besiege the expedition of Absolute Peak Experts in the Three Thousand Worlds. They also awaken strong beings like [Heavenly Pond] previously set in Three Thousand Worlds. On the other hand, they consume their foundations to dispatch more Demon Emperors and Demon Kings through Million Mountains and Ruishui River to the Human World, hiding them and waiting for Zouyu Water Mansion to open, launching a combined offensive on human base cities, while accelerating the Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s power recovery.

Thus, a group of "grieving fathers" due to Lu Chenzhou, began to form an alliance.

What follows will be a super war sweeping through the Human World.

...

In Jiangnan Wilderness, there’s a nameless gorge shrouded in miasma, rarely visited by humans.
