Chapter 124: Magic Power Soars! My Enemies Are Too Many!

Seeing the Human Emperor Pen displeased by his own calling of "Daoist friend," Chen Zheng fell silent for a moment.

This Human Emperor Pen is unlike Fang Qingxue and others, who are reincarnated primordial spirits; it has not yet awakened memories of its past life.

Instead, it was demoted in rank, yet still retains all memories from the ancient era, immersed in past glory.

At its peak, the Human Emperor Pen was a king‑grade celestial artifact, a top‑level existence beneath the Heavenly Sovereign.

It was personally forged by the Human Emperor, who is also one of the disciples of the Hongmeng Daoist.

Thus one can see how formidable the Human Emperor Pen's background is, having witnessed countless grand worlds.

Even now, though its power no longer matches its former days, it is still countless times stronger than Chen Zheng, who appears only as a minor cultivator of Shentong Wu Chong.

The pen has its own pride, looks down on Chen Zheng, and refuses to converse with him as an equal—just human nature.

Originally, Chen Zheng knew the Human Emperor Pen possessed three hundred Dao paths; besides luring Yin Fan Qingying and Wan Qing Shan here to trap and kill them, he also hoped to obtain some three thousand Dao paths from the pen, to repay them once he grew stronger.

Now it seems he was completely overthinking.

Words do not click; a half sentence is already too much.

Chen Zheng is too lazy to say much more.

He only recalled that the Human Emperor Pen had just killed Wan Qing Shan for him, so he bowed again, changed his words to "Thank you, senior," and then left the place, retreating upward.

After Chen Zheng left, a stern‑looking middle‑aged man materialized on the Heavenly Crystal Stone, standing with his arms crossed, exuding a terrifying sovereign aura.

This middle‑aged man is the Human Emperor Pen.

He gazed toward the direction Chen Zheng departed, a hint of contemplation in his brows: "This kid, pursued by the ancient giant and yet unscathed, managed to flee to the depths of Fengmo Ridge—was it sheer luck or is there another reason?"

He then shook his head and laughed: "The kid is merely a minor figure; why bother with how he arrived? My awakening this time has sensed a hint of a great heavenly calamity approaching; I fear the Divine Clan may rise again. When that happens, the source of the Xuanhuang Great World will sense the danger, generate fluctuations, and bestow the hidden Great Qi Luck upon a few Heavenly Talents, granting them countless opportunities to surge forward, reaching strength capable of opposing the Divine Clan's calamity. Only those few of the Great Qi Luck are worth my attention."

Boom—

Abruptly, beneath the massive body of the Human Emperor Pen's Heavenly Crystal Stone, a series of clanking chain sounds thundered.

This is deep underground, filled with patches of lava seas and clusters of spacetime storms, interspersed with chaotic primordial magnetic divine light—extremely dangerous.

Even a Second‑tier Longevity cultivator would likely dare not venture here lightly.

At this moment, in the center of the fire sea, massive chains formed from solidified lava compose a mysterious formation, imprisoning a woman.

The woman's silver‑white hair whirls wildly, stretching three thousand zhang like a waterfall.

She swings the chains, and the entire formation shows signs of being broken by her.

Soon, the Human Emperor Pen appears above the fire sea, drawing a massive talisman that presses down, causing the endless lava to converge on her side, locking her tightly.

"Human Emperor Pen, how long can you keep me confined?"

The woman's tone is faint; beneath her three‑thousand‑zhang white hair, her face reveals a pair of eyes like black holes.

……

"Jia Lan, are you saying Meng Shaobai and Xuan Tie Zhenren are currently within the Great Xuan Empire?"

"Yes, my lord, I have already investigated; they are inside Taibai City, preparing to attend the Treasure‑selling Convention recently organized by the Heavenly Dao Pavilion."

"Understood. By the way, has Fang Qingxue emerged from the sect, and has she gone to Zhengqi Peak to look for me?"

……

???

Not yet.

After Chen Zheng left the depths of Fengmo Ridge, Jia Lan suddenly relayed good news that Meng Shaobai and Xuan Tie Zhenren were in Taibai City. He set his bearings and flew straight toward the world's foremost power, the Great Xuan Empire.

Only now does he have time to cultivate using the resources plundered from Xuan Gui Pavilion.

He made a quick inventory; all the pills and elixirs in Xuan Gui Pavilion, converted to Baiyang Pill, total roughly two billion.

The various pills obtained from the forty‑plus great thieves and hundreds of Wan Gui Immortal Island cultivators amount to just over four hundred million.

In total, twenty‑four hundred million.

While flying, he used Chain‑character True Fire to forge a Great Cauldron, pouring the twenty‑four hundred million resources, along with Wan Qin, Zhu Xian Dao, Ci Yue Dao and several others' life‑core Golden Pills, into the cauldron.

He even tossed the previously suppressed Four Great Divine Kings into the Great Cauldron, scorching them with raging True Fire.

"Chen Zheng, do you know who we are? We are the greatest Divine Clan of the heavens! Opposing the Divine Clan will end only in death!"

"You're finished; my Divine Clan's eight hundred billion warriors will soon descend, utterly crushing your Feathered Ascension Sect, demoting Feng Baiyu and Yu Hua San Chu to pigs and dogs, making them breed with pigs and dogs!"

"The hateful Heavenly Divine Emperor will soon compute your position; you'll never know how terrifying the Divine Emperor truly is. Kneeling now is still in time…"

The Four Great Divine Kings thrash wildly inside the Great Cauldron, hysterically roaring like four mad dogs.

Looking at one—one—/p>

Chen Zheng, however, turned a deaf ear.

They're about to die; shouting twice won't matter.

One can only say the Gate of Immortality is fair—it granted the Divine Clan long life and great power, yet gave them no fully developed brains.

Otherwise, if the Divine Clan weren't a bit dimwitted, they would have already seized the Xuanhuang Great World.

Soon, the four Great Divine Kings inside the Great Cauldron were all refined to death; the Golden Pills and elixirs melted away, and numerous Divine Arts and elixir essences became a small river brimming with life force, flowing into Chen Zheng's body.

His magical power began to surge dramatically, more than doubling to the strength of four million Xuanhuang fiery horses.

Such a massive magical force has already broken the limit of an Eighth‑tier Divine Art cultivator, comparable to a Ninth‑tier cultivator, enough to frighten many to death.

The number of his Divine Arts is even more astonishing; after using the Great Five Elements Technique to devour all Five‑Elements Divine Arts and removing duplicates, he now possesses ninety‑five types!

If he perfects the Great Five Elements Technique, Chen Zheng can immediately forge a life‑destiny talisman, ascend to the Sixth‑tier Unified Divine Art realm, with magical power reaching tens of millions of horses, possessing combat power to fight Tenfold cultivators.

But this Great Five Elements Technique is too difficult to perfect.

He needs to obtain from Meng Shaobai the location to enter the Five‑Elements realm.

Simply go to Taibai City, and he can be found.

Moreover, the tens of millions of magical power is far from Chen Zheng's goal.

Magical power must reach one hundred million, even several hundred to thousands of billions is required.

Because he has too many enemies.

First, Hua Hua Tiandou Du definitely wants to harm him.

After dealing with Hua Hua Tiandou Du, we also need to prevent his master Ru Yi Zi from taking revenge; we must kill Ru Yi Zi.

Ru Yi Zi dead, his grand-disciple Xi Hua, this Supreme Elder, will jump out to cause trouble again; we must also guard against it in advance, beat him to death with a stick.

After beating to death Sun Xi Hua, the Three Saints of Feather Ascension may come out to take sides, also need to guard against.

Furthermore, Wan Gui Immortal Island and Taiyi Sect also need to be wiped out.

Therefore, this amount of magical power is not enough.

Far from enough!

Chen Zheng is heading to the Great Xuan Empire; meanwhile, he also wants to exchange the Black Tortoise Pavilion, the Five Prisons King Cauldron, the Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda, the Azure Wood Divine King Sword, the Gold Jiao Whip, the Ink Shadow Warboat, the Falling Star Bow and the Shooting Star Arrows, the Azure Blood Soul-Slaying Sword, the Thunderclap Divine Sword, and other supreme treasures into medicinal pills.

This batch of medicinal pills will definitely exceed one hundred billion, allowing him to greatly increase his magical power again!
