Sacrificing two exceptional divine artifacts and one spiritual god tool could restore the Taiyi Pill Furnace to a spiritual tier.
Once restored to the spiritual tier, it could be used to refine spiritual-grade divine elixirs.
Chu Yuan trusted in the unparalleled quality of the Taiyi Pill Furnace. Once the materials were put in, success was guaranteed.
Much of Dawu's rapid development was due to the alchemy performed with the Taiyi Pill Furnace. Without the elixirs, it would have been nearly impossible for the troops to rapidly increase their power just by relying on spirit grains.
However, the spiritual god tool, the Sea Mirror, which he had just acquired, hadn't even warmed up and was being sacrificed.
The ancient artifact of the GuShang kingdom was clearly much more potent than regular spiritual god tools.
"Choice one, sacrifice the divine ring, spirit-severing sword, and sea mirror to repair the Taiyi Pill Furnace, restoring it to spiritual tier."
Chu Yuan didn't hesitate.
Although spiritual-grade god tools were precious, the current Taiyi Pill Furnace was sufficient. But if he lost this chance, he would deeply regret it. As his cultivation level increased, he needed higher grade elixirs, and he couldn't gamble on whether he would have future upgrade opportunities.
"The host chose choice one, sacrificing the divine ring, spirit-severing sword, and sea mirror to repair the Taiyi Pill Furnace, gaining 300 Destiny Points."
"Current surplus of Destiny Points: 4350."
"Taiyi Pill Furnace is being repaired...."
"Taiyi Pill Furnace repaired successfully, quality restored to spiritual tier."
The Taiyi Pill Furnace (broken) was a supreme treasure, refined by Taiyi Sky Monarch. It was damaged during the battle of gods and demons, ended up among the heavens. Just insert various herbs, and based on the pill formula, it automatically produces elixirs with a 100% success rate.
Note: Because the Taiyi Pill Furnace was severely damaged, the quality dropped, it can still concoct spiritual-grade divine elixirs, but cannot refine above spiritual tier.
"As expected, it's repaired. The Spirit pill is so precious, there're only seventy-two within the treasury of GuShang kingdom. But as long as I have materials, I can concoct them endlessly, haha! With this, how can my nation's power not increase!"
Chu Yuan was ecstatic.
The GuShang kingdom was indeed his lucky star, delivering so many good things to him.
He glanced at the emptied treasury and said to Zhu Fengfeng, "Let's go out. They think I'm afraid of them? Threatening me with the extermination of Dawu, they're in a hurry to die!"
Whoosh! In an instant, Chu Yuan left the palace and headed outside.
"Chu Yuan, you finally came out! I thought you wouldn't dare and would forever hide inside!"
A group of around ten people was standing guard outside the palace. As soon as they saw Chu Yuan and Zhu Fengfeng, they were thrilled.
"So you're from the Great Zhen Dynasty!"
Chu Yuan looked impassively at the person with the highest cultivation among the group.
"Good, you understand. Although my Great Zhen Dynasty is only a four-star emperor dynasty, our emperor is a god-level existence. Hand over your treasures. I heard that your Dawu has a lot of amazing things, hand them all over. Otherwise, when our Great Zhen Dynasty swings an army, your Dawu will be trampled by cavalry."
The individual with the highest cultivation, who was at the fifth level of Soul Condensation, was indeed from the Great Zhen Dynasty.
In the Hanging-Sky Realm, there were over a dozen four-star powers, but only five had a god-level giant; Great Zhen was one of them, much stronger than the DaChang Empire.
To be promoted to a five-star emperor dynasty, having a single god-position figure was far from enough. The comprehensive national power also had to keep up. Given the resources of the Hanging-Sky Realm, it could only accommodate one five-star empire.
"Decided how you want to die?"
Chu Yuan swept a glance carrying an extremely chilling killing intent.
"You want to kill us?" The strong man from the Great Zhen Dynasty sneered. "I, Xu Tai, have lived for so long and have heard so many threats. I have done a lot of research on you. A few months ago, you were just able to kill the Black Ming Emperor. Although the Black Ming Emperor was admirable, he was merely a spirit master. You, wanting to kill us, I must say, you're quite confident!"
An overwhelming power radiated from Chu Yuan. His current cultivation had reached the level of spirit master, which was much stronger than before. The power within his body surged like a river. Every movement carried the power to shatter mountains and rivers.
"Keep an eye on this woman!"
Three transcendent cultivators immediately focused on Zhu Fengfeng; they all knew well of her Phoenix Immortal strength, and were prepared to defend themselves with thrice their power.
While Xu Tai sneered in speech, he fought very cautiously.
He was a Level Five Transcendent, the most powerful among them. With his empowered punch reverberating through the air, a terrifying force of shockwave swept over, making it sound as if the void itself were drumming a 'dun dun' drumbeat of terror.
"War King Nine Formations!"
Chu Yuan's punch immediately caused the unstable void to explode, it began a massive collapse - the first blow sent a radiant shockwave, brilliant as a rainbow.
Even though it was only the first formation, it was stronger than the seventh formation in the War King Seven Formations.
Xu Tai's hair stood on end - even he felt fear from Chu Yuan's overwhelming power.
The wind from the punch struck Xu Tai hard, sending him stumbling back despite his Level Five Transcendent power. His whole body shook ferociously, and the blood in his mouth sprayed out with each violent shake. It was only then, the tumultuous blood in his body calmed down.
"One after another, you are all going to die!"
Chu Yuan took a step and bizarrely appeared next to a Level Two Transcendent.
The Level Two Transcendent's eyes bulged, he had just begun to resist when a punch came his way. It directly struck him, breaking his defense armor meant for battling the gods.
His thoughts were practically frozen, and time seemed to enter an eternal moment. When he came back to his senses, a hand had already gripped his head.
Boom! His body ignited like a torch and turned into a blood-colored fruit in Chu Yuan's hand.
"How...How can he be this powerful!"
Xu Tai and the others would never imagine that Chu Yuan had killed a level two transcendence in an instant, it was never in the intel they had gathered. His strength seemed to have skyrocketed in a very short period of time.
They thought that Chu Yuan may have Transcendent power, but did not expect him to be this powerful.
Zhu Fengfeng sneered.
"Attack together, don't give him a chance!"
Suddenly, Xu Tai shouted out loud.
"Don't worry, you can't escape. You'll all die one by one!"
Chu Yuan's cold voice reached their ears, and everyone felt as if they were in a frigid, snowy landscape, shuddering with dread.
Fear alone, instilled merely by his voice, was enough indication of Chu Yuan's horrifying strength.
However, his voice silented them. The swift killing of a Level Two Transcendent thoroughly demonstrated Chu Yuan's terrifying power.
As Chu Yuan's voice echoed, carrying an immense aura, he was already in front of a Level Three Transcendent. His palm shimmered with gold, carrying an intense, slicing energy.
"You wish to kill me? Great Defense Formation!"
The Level Three Transcendent exclaimed in terror.
His body turned as solid as steel, raising his defense in an instant. His formation is one of the three thousand most powerful divine abilities for defense, he was confident that he could withstand Chu Yuan's attack.
But as Chu Yuan's Great Slicing Technique descended, a burst of blood flew.
The Level Three Transcendent who launched the Great Defense was cut open as easily as tofu, completely unable to withstand the Great Slicing Technique. His body was bisected in an instant.
With a wave of Chun Yuan's hand, the Level Three Transcendent's powerful flesh and soul were absorbed into the blood-colored energy fruit.
The energy fruit floated above Chu Yuan's head, becoming even more bizarre.
