Chapter 1689

Xiao Feng - Xiao Feng

The newly established Divine Nation's Qi Luck hasn't started growing yet, so it's just defaulted to a Level 1 Divine Nation.

The highest level for an NPC Divine Nation is Level 8, while a player Divine Nation can reach Level 10.

After upgrading, one can continue to expand territory; each level allows expansion of a 100,000‑kilometer radius, as long as not hindered by enemies. Upon reaching Level 10, it becomes a superpower occupying a radius of one million kilometers!

However, this requires a huge amount of Qi Luck to sustain; given the current resident population of the Chaos Divine Nation, it's clearly not enough.

Xiao Feng paid special attention to the roles of the civil and military officials.

Military Officer: Players who take up a military officer position can configure their own armies; all army members within the nation gain +20% attack and +20% defense. Officers of any level have the chance for unharmed resurrection, once per day, limited to within the national borders.

It seems the military officer role is more significant, but civil officials are also indispensable. Xiao Feng himself never likes to manage affairs; as soon as he sees someone who can take over, he immediately brings in the three deputy heads of the demolition team and a bunch of executives to work for free.

The members of the monarch's harem must first be opposite‑sex players; if the monarch is female, the harem must be male, and if the monarch is male, the harem must be female.

At most there can be 10 Level‑1 Divine Nations; each level adds another 10 slots, so at max level there can be 100.

Anyone who has had an intimate relationship with the monarch and does not belong to an opposing faction, whether player or NPC, can assume the position.

Xiao Feng asked Jiang Ning and the others, and they all said they didn't want to be his harem members; otherwise, having the game name listed under the 'Chaos Divine Nation' introduction would look a bit odd.

The heir does not necessarily have to be his offspring; as long as he designates someone, that person becomes the 'Heir Apparent'. If the monarch abdicates automatically, or fails to log in for over 100 days, the Heir Apparent will ascend and become the new monarch.

Baba Wuli was also selected for the civil official position of 'National Preceptor', granting him some authority, letting this master smith feel a little proud.

The people from the Rongjin Mountain Tavern, such as Erdes and Awula, have now raised their levels to around 750; their strength isn't particularly strong, but neither is weak. Xiao Feng gave them some minor official posts, allowing them to settle and move freely within Rongjin City, enjoying great freedom.

As for true Chengshi management and Divine Nation operations, those are left to the players to handle.

Moreover, part of the industry from player Chengshi can also be relocated here, allowing more players from this region to settle within the Divine Nation's borders, quickly boosting Qi Luck growth.

The Divine Nation is open to the outside; players from several hundred battle zones in the alliance region can come here to play; it will surely become livelier and more prosperous, with prosperity growing rapidly.

He spent over two months peacefully in the Azure Moon Cave Heaven, and his level smoothly broke through to 800, advancing to Upper Deity.

At this point, his level ranking finally caught up, entering the top 100 of the overall ranking.

An 800-level Upper Deity is equivalent to the Mahayana stage of the cultivation civilization, meaning that a new stage task for the Innate Dao Body can now be undertaken.

The trait effect of this stage is to increase attack tenfold, letting his output amplification total multiplier reach 100,000 times.

And the condition to unseal it is to create a fifth-rank Secret Art oneself.

The previously self-created Myriad Gods and Demons Battle Body does not count; one must now begin to comprehend it, researching a new one anew for it to be counted.

A fifth-rank Secret Art is not something you can just create; it consumes a great deal of energy and also requires a certain amount of inspiration and insight, otherwise even if you rack your brains you won't succeed.

However, Xiao Feng had already been preparing for this ever since he first saw this stage task.

After three or four months, he had thought of many things, and in his mind he had already sketched out an outline of a higher Secret Art above the fifth rank.

That day, as soon as his realm broke through, he immediately left the Azure Moon Cave Heaven and flew to a remote wilderness where few people tread and monsters are scarce.

"Last time I created a Secret Art to storm the Heavenly Tower, study the Way of All Things, and ultimately, relying on my own ability, helped Ning'er regain her sight."

"This time, what I want is…… ultimate output!"

Merging the Xuanwu Battle Body and the Taotie Demon Body into the Myriad Gods and Demons Battle Body, it itself utilizes the Way of All Things, belonging to a merged Law Secret Technique, appearing to be seventh rank but actually not that high.

That is a purely auxiliary Secret Art, which Xiao Feng no longer really needs.

He wants a pure-output Secret Art, similar to the Soul-Chasing Spear, capable of killing an enemy with a single strike!

Over the past few months, he has reflected on every Secret Art he has learned.

The killing techniques recorded in the Ninefold Heavenly Dao, the sword arts learned in the Nine Provinces Immortal Realm, his self-created source-attribute skills, and the various Secret Arts learned elsewhere.

All of this has been replayed countless times in his mind.

Finally, he compared it with the Dao Mark Scar carried by his own innate talent, achieving a thorough synthesis.

By now, Xiao Feng has roughly understood in his mind how his new Secret Art ought to be executed.

He Luck-starts divine power, his palms coming together, a sword-shaped qi current converging between his hands.

Little Sword is purplish‑gray, exactly the original appearance of the source qi of all things; it contains the overbearing aura of the Four Heaven‑Opening Swords, and also the profound mystery of the ever‑changing laws of all things.

Furthermore, on each side of the blade there is a Dao Mark Scar engraved.

"Dao Sword…"

Xiao Feng was about to give his new move a cool name.

As a result, before he could swing it out, the Little Sword exploded on its own.

Boom—

A terrifying surge of energy directly blew him to ashes, killing him instantly.

-9,378 *10^20 (critical hit)

A not‑too‑exaggerated damage figure floated up, and Xiao Feng could only laugh and cry.

"Self‑created skills are pretty risky, but good thing I can revive for free."
