Chapter 531: Changing Divine Artifact

In the void, a profound silence fell; no one dared to speak.

The Blood Lord Marquis was already considered a formidable power in the Elemental Sea; the marquis rank among the Upper Gods in the Shen Jie accounted for less than one percent.

Such a powerhouse was instantly killed at full health by a single skill.

Such terrifying power exceeded their comprehension.

They even wondered if Xiao Feng was hiding his strength, actually possessing Main God-level power, but only showing the equivalent of level 400.

If they knew Xiao Feng was actually only level 300 and had not yet broken through his realm, who knows what mood they'd be in.

Seeing everyone silent, with no one daring to continue speaking, Xiao Feng saw no point in wasting time.

Together with He Er Na, the Wind Control Technique activated, and in the blink of an eye they tore through the sky and departed.

"He's a terrifying fellow; fortunately we didn't, just now, try to force him to speak with the same harsh attitude as the Blood Lord Marquis."

As soon as Xiao Feng left, someone let out a voice still trembling with fear.

Someone else gloated: "The Blood Lord Marquis was slain, his kin died inside the Mechanism Island, and the Blood Origin Island may well be reduced to a name only. I heard there's a minor divine stone vein on Blood Origin Island—does anyone care to join me to take a look?"

"Hahaha, perfect—I've been short on funds lately; then let's all go to Blood Origin Island for a trip!"

They laughed and chatted, originally intending to adventure in the Mechanism Island, but now they thought it would be more comfortable to go make a fortune instead of risking danger.

Thus the group set off together, flying toward another direction.

The Blood Lord Marquis never imagined, even in his dreams, that he would lose his life over such a trivial matter, and even drag down the power he had painstakingly built.

No one would pity his fate, and no one would speak up for the Blood Origin Island.

That's just how the rules of the Elemental Sea are.

……

After leaving the Mechanism Island, Xiao Feng and He Er Na hurried onward, heading back toward Wind Spirit Island.

He Er Na was fast, so she led the way, while Xiao Feng himself was busy changing his equipment.

First, he put on the high-grade divine artifact clothing he had taken off earlier—the Ascetic Monk's Robe.

Upon reaching level 300, his basic attributes increased considerably; although he still had 500 points of potential unallocated, his HP had already reached 5.33 billion.

His attack power likewise grew; the divine essence power gained from cultivation exceeded that from intelligence, now exceeding 12,100 divine essence power, equivalent to 120,000 attack power.

A Lower God's divine essence power is usually at most over 20,000 points, and he has not yet broken through

, his equipment not yet fully changed, he was already at a mid‑high level among Lower Gods.

"Master has been away for so many days; that little girl Dai Ni Si is probably furious to death."

During the flight, He Er Na smiled faintly and said.

"Haha, there's nothing to be done; after we return to Wind Spirit Island, I'll go down to comfort her a bit and keep her company for a day or two." Xiao Feng laughed.

Dai Ni Si has a child's temperament; even if she's unhappy, she'll cheer up quickly and won't stay angry for long.

On the contrary, Mi Nie Ya is harder to pacify; after so many days of neglect, if we meet again, I'm afraid it won't be resolved in just three or five hours!

This time we went ten‑odd days without seeing them; perhaps their strength has also accumulated enough.

After properly consoling them, we could then bring them together to ascend to the Shen Jie and settle on Wind Spirit Island.

After a while, Lao Zhang and the others will also ascend, making the Shen Jie lively, so we won't have to keep running back and forth.

"That girl may have received the Ancestor God's inheritance, but she hasn't shown much strength yet. I don't know if she will grow in the future, to not waste the Master's painstaking cultivation." He Er Na suddenly brought up the matter of Dai Ni Si's ability.

Xiao Feng said indifferently: "It would be best if she could become strong; even if she can't, it's no big deal—we just need to protect her well."

After all, she's only a seven‑year‑old child; we can't demand too much.

He Er Na, hearing this, sighed emotionally: "To have met the Master is truly our good luck……"

"Saying that makes you sound distant; after all, I'm not being kind to you for nothing." Xiao Feng gave a wicked smile, his big hands starting to misbehave.

"This……"

The goddess's face flushed, and she instinctively wanted to raise a Spiritual Barrier to hide herself, lest anyone see her.

However, Xiao Feng made no further move, merely taking a small advantage before stopping.

The situation is tense; I dare not act recklessly……

"Later I will undergo the Tribulation; I don't know if an accident will happen like last time. If anything comes up, you be careful." He said that, then began checking his own condition.

Demigods and gods alike must endure tribulations; if they cannot withstand them, they will be "stuck at their realm".

From Lower God to Middle God, and from Middle God to Upper God, it's not that troublesome—one only needs to perfect and strengthen one's divine essence to advance.

But between Upper God and Main God lies a huge chasm that cannot be crossed by effort alone.

Even with sufficient power and flawless aptitude, one must still endure a terrifying "Main God Tribulation" to be promoted.

Otherwise, one can only stop at the peak of Upper God, becoming a

"Title God".

Xiao Feng knows his strength is great, but undergoing the Tribulation can sometimes be absurd—the stronger one is, the more it insists on killing them.

Therefore he must be extra careful and cautious.

He checked his backpack, took out the equipment he had carefully selected, and put it on.

Although he, at level 300, has not yet become a god, he can already equip mid‑grade or better divine artifacts all over his body.

Main God artifacts and superior‑grade artifacts have realm requirements; one must reach a virtual level of 400, i. e., Upper God, before they can be used.

His realm hasn't reached that point yet; he can use them only after undergoing the Tribulation.

So far, Xiao Feng possesses only four items of divine artifact quality better than mid‑grade.

Weapon: Doom Smoke Magic Staff; rings: Black Formation Magic Ring and God's Tear Ring; plus clothing: Ascetic Monk's Robe.

The God's Tear Ring can now be discarded, so he needs to replace seven pieces of equipment!

Seven high‑grade divine artifacts—Xiao Feng can certainly produce them.

But there aren't actually that many that are perfectly suited to him.

After a round of replacements, there were an extra 3 superior-grade divine artifacts and 2 medium-grade divine artifacts.

The gloves were not changed, as they intended to reserve a slot for the main artifact 【Blood Prison Arm Armor】.

The super-grade divine artifact necklace 【Heart of the Weather Sovereign】 also requires a realm breakthrough before it can be equipped; for now, it will not be changed.

The rest were all replaced with the currently most suitable divine gear.
