Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

When Chu Zheng returned to the temporary camp at the hunting grounds, most of the people from the tribe had already returned and started boarding the Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship.

The people from the Wangshan Tribe had boarded the ship earlier, only Uncle Lie had stayed in the camp, waiting for Chu Zheng to return.

"The vanguard of the beast tide is not far from here, return to the tribe to rest early. There's a tough battle ahead,"

Uncle Lie urged, and quickly took Chu Zheng aboard the Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship.

Several days later, even before the Wan Clan Alliance could count the numbers from each tribe, they had urgently prompted the Heavenly Phoenix to depart the hunting grounds in a great hurry.

Aboard the ship, people from various tribes were mixed together, and the clamor of searching for relatives and fellow tribesman filled the air, creating chaos.

"This year's Great Beast Hunting Festival ended more than two months earlier than previous years, too rushed,"

Uncle Lie looked at the chaotic scene before him, his brow slightly furrowed, feeling a bit ominous: "It has never been so rushed before, I fear something uncontrollable might have happened with the savage beasts."

This kind of tense reaction already showed how critical the situation had become.

Looking at the chaos before him, Chu Zheng also felt something was amiss. The Wan Clan Alliance was already a pinnacle force of the Dongyuan Human Clan, and what could make them so flustered...

Before Chu Zheng could think further, the sky above suddenly darkened, the clouds obscured the sky, and the radiant sun's light vanished in an instant.

The next moment, the sky turned blood-red, and the setting sun hung in the air.

A searing heat attacked from above, and Chu Zheng looked up, his expression drastically changing. In the sky was a burning mass of blazing fire clouds.

Amidst the clouds, delicate feathers that seemed forged from Immortal Gold radiated an intensely fierce Divine Qi, reflecting myriads of divine radiance.

This was a terrifying Divine Bird larger than the entire Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship with wings spanning thousands of miles, its edges impossible to see.

A flash of spiritual light flickered in Chu Zheng's pupils, and he quickly transmitted a piece of information.

[Chi Lu (Eighth Order): Originating from the Chi Feng Clan, at the Pinnacle Realm Perfection, possesses the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix, potential to grow to the Ninth Order, restricted by Heavenly Dao Laws, unable to achieve a breakthrough.]

Chi Feng, possessing the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix, would have been a formidable giant beast comparable to an Immortal King or Immortal Venerable if not for the suppression by the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Dongyuan Realm.

"It's the King of Chi Feng, run!"

Uncle Lie pulled Chu Zheng inside a cabin, his expression unable to hide his horror.

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted, the entire Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship suddenly tilted, and a massive shockwave hit. Even with Chu Zheng's physical body at its current strength, he felt his blood churn, and some cultivators with slightly lower cultivation vomited fresh blood, their organs injured.

Uncle Lie breathed slightly faster, checking on Chu Zheng's safety: "Are you badly hurt?"

"I'm fine, Uncle Lie, do you recognize this fierce bird?" Chu Zheng steadied his blood and felt the surrounding Tribulation Qi.

Fortunately, the Tribulation Qi wasn't tumultuous. This incident was unrelated to him, and it wasn't likely to pose great danger.

"That is the beast king from the Chi Feng Clan; I saw it nearly two hundred years ago during the Great Beast Hunting Festival,"

Uncle Lie's face was as grim as water: "It has a deep blood feud with the Wan Clan, always lurking and waiting to attack, and it seems this time its target is Clan Leader Wan."

Aboard the Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship, divine feathers from the Chi Feng Clan were not uncommon. Continue reading at empire

Chu Zheng tried to extend his Divine Sense to observe the outside situation. As soon as his Divine Sense reached out, he witnessed a terrifying scene.

A claw, entwined with Divine Fire like a collapsing mountain range, suddenly crashed down, directly targeting the neck of the Heavenly Phoenix, the murderous intent bone-chilling!

Clang!

The melodious sound of metal clashing exploded, sharp and resounding. The Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship suddenly shuddered, many feathers covering its neck dispersed as if raindrops falling from the sky, kicking up dust all around.

A figure rose into the air, holding a bone spear with tassels hanging with red feathers, printed with various patterns — it was the leader of the Wan Clan, Wan Qiong, also a Supreme Being at the Pinnacle Realm Perfection.

Chu Zheng glanced over, his heart trembling slightly. The bone spear in Wan Qiong's hand was an Eighth Order Rune Soldier, not yet nurturing a True Spirit, but it locked within a dragon spirit, its power no less than an Immortal Treasure!

Whooo—

Suddenly, a dragon's roar issued from the summit of the sky, the bone spear traversing the heavens, projecting a streak of bloody spear light.

In an instant, the wind howled like thunder, the body of the spear moved like a dragon, targeting directly at the abdomen of Chi Lu, aiming to disembowel with its strike.

Chi Lu didn't delay a moment, flapping its wings to rise and avoid the sharp edge of the bone spear, but it was still a step slow; its tail was slashed open.

Blood gushed like a fountain, falling from the Sky Summit, forming a blood-red waterfall.

Having landed a blow, Wan Qiong's expression remained ice-cold, without a ripple, as bloodlight surged beside him. Totems one after another disengaged and rose into the air — Divine Birds, Heavenly Patterns, each unique.

As the totems disembodied, they instantly began to draw nature's spiritual energy, transforming essence with symbols and bones with patterns, nurturing real bodies with the nourishment of nature's spiritual energy.

This was the utmost marvel of totemic power, turning the intangible into tangible, manifesting the true might of the totems with the aid of nature's spiritual energy, a genuine grand Divine Skill.

The Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship didn't delay a moment, instantly retreating from the battlefield where Wan Qiong and Chi Lu clashed, heading towards the heartland of the Human Race.

Chu Zheng strained to look into the distance, only to see that beside Chi Lu, several more massive shadows appeared, all Beast Kings who had entered the Pinnacle Realm.

The Savage Beasts that came this time weren't limited to just the Chi Feng Clan's king but was a premeditated ambush specifically targeting Wan Qiong.

The Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship sped extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, Chu Zheng could no longer see the situation in the battlefield, only able to sense the worsening fluctuations of nature's spiritual energy, incessantly streaming towards that battlefield.
