Chapter 784: Shooting the Eagle

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The Pills that Elder Yao hid in his secret treasury were, of course, no common items.

Based on their tiers, all these Pills were either sixth or seventh tier, corresponding to Acquired and Innate Martial Artists.

There were Blood Marrow Pills, as well as the Innate Pills needed for the breakthrough from Acquired to Innate!

Shao Hongcheng once told Wang Chen that even with all his wealth, he couldn’t afford a single Innate Pill.

But in this large chest, there were as many as ten bottles of Innate Pills.

Nine pills per bottle, that’s ninety pills!

Elder Yao had previously mentioned that to help Shao Hongcheng break through the Acquired Realm, it was necessary to find his secret treasury.

The root of it all lay within these bottles of Pills.

With so many high-tier Pills, they could forcibly elevate Shao Hongcheng to the Acquired Realm.

Even reaching Innate was not impossible!

“In my seventh lifetime, I was the strongest Alchemist in this realm,”

Elder Yao said indifferently, “I created many Pill formulas.”

Wang Chen only had one word for him: “Respect.”

He continued to open the chests.

What he found next was even richer, comprising various precious materials, original Cultivation Manuals,

as well as an assortment of weapons and equipment.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the total value of the wealth in this secret treasury was higher than that of the entire Red Cliff city!

Among the weapons, there were three Divine Weapons!

The Overlord Spear, the Moon Slaying Saber, the Sun Shooting Bow!

Wang Chen…

Wanted them all!

Elder Yao’s methods were extremely proficient. The items stored in the secret treasury, whether they were Pills, materials, Cultivation Manuals, or weapons and armaments, remained intact even after a century.

These three Divine Weapons were each hidden in different chests. The moment they were opened, treasure light spilled out and sharp energy soared to the skies, each weapon possessing its special might.

Ordinary Martial Artists could not suppress them.

It was said that Divine Weapons choose their wielders, and those not acknowledged would be backlash if they forcibly used them.

But this was no problem for Wang Chen.

Whether it was the Overlord Spear, the Moon Slaying Saber, or the Sun Shooting Bow, all were docile in his hands, showing no sign of resistance.

Elder Yao told Wang Chen that in the Haotian Realm, these Divine Weapons were merely regarded as top-tier Magic Artifacts, not even considered Spiritual Artifacts.

The reason was simple. The Foggy Mountain Realm lacked nature’s spiritual energy. Without it, even the strongest Divine Weapon could not gather Spiritual Light and therefore could not ascend in rank.

However, it wasn’t completely hopeless. As long as one used the Divine Weapons to slay high-tier Fierce Beasts and absorbed their blood marrow essence to condense Spiritual Energy, there was a chance for transformation and ascension.

Of course, even if they could not ascend to the status of Spiritual Artifacts, the potency of Divine Weapons was still extraordinarily powerful in this world.

The Overlord Spear inherently had the ability to intimidate and break formations, proving invincible in group battles. The Moon Slaying Saber could cut through all things, unstoppable and indestructible. Meanwhile, the Sun Shooting Bow could kill an enemy from a thousand steps away, piercing through heavy armor with unmatched sharpness!

With these three Divine Weapons, Wang Chen could be said to have gained wings like a tiger, his combat power increasing by at least double.

In addition, among the secretly stored Cultivation Manuals in the treasury, there were techniques corresponding to each of the three Divine Weapons: spear techniques, saber techniques, and archery.

For this reason, Wang Chen stayed an extra day in the cave.

To practice these skills.

Techniques that could match Divine Weapons were naturally extraordinary, but Wang Chen’s Martial Arts experience was already rich. Plus, with guidance from Elder Yao, the Nascent Soul True Immortal, mastering them was effortless.

After all, even the strongest techniques had not transcended beyond the mortal’s scope.

When Wang Chen left the secret treasury and resealed the door, he had three Divine Weapons and a bag filled with Pills on his person.

There were too many treasures in the treasury, and without a Storage Bag, this was all he could carry away.

In fact, Wang Chen wasn’t covetous since he wasn’t a native of this world and would leave sooner or later.

No amount of treasure or wealth could be taken with him when he left.

Moreover, many things here were quite common in the Haotian Realm, and even useless.

Holding the Overlord Spear in his hand, with the Moon Slaying Saber slung at his waist, and the Sun Shooting Bow on his back, Wang Chen charged out of the waterfall curtain with a majestic and fearless aura.

Just as Wang Chen emerged, a dark shadow plummeted from the sky with a howling gust of wind, swooping down at him.

Wang Chen was prepared; he landed on a massive boulder beside the pool, and his Overlord Spear suddenly thrust upward into the sky.

“Die, you fiendish beast!”

The spear thrust was like a dragon, domineering, and the dark gold spearhead suddenly burst into dazzling light, perfectly piercing through the gap between the talons and impaling the Black Feather Thunder Hawk’s chest and abdomen.

Screech!

The seventh-tier Fierce Bird instantly screamed in pain, tumbling through the air for several strides and scattering drops of blood and broken feathers.

The Black Feather Thunder Hawk’s iron feathers were extremely hard, impenetrable even to Mysterious Weapons.

But in Wang Chen’s hand was a Divine Weapon!

Once imbued with Innate True Qi, the spears imposing power was activated, directly penetrating the Thunder Hawk’s protective iron feathers and stabbing into its body.

If not for the beast’s timely tumble and evasion in a critical moment, it would likely have been skewered by the spear by now.

The Black Feather Thunder Hawk, having suffered a great loss and filled with shock and rage, flapped its wings vigorously, and shot up into the sky.

In an instant, it soared dozens of feet high.

That was the Black Feather Thunder Hawk’s Innate Divine Ability—flying as fast as lightning, covering a hundred steps in a blink, which was a formidable skill for either attack or escape.

Screech~

The Black Feather Thunder Hawk, having narrowly escaped death, did not give up its pursuit, circling in the air before diving at Wang Chen once again.

This time, learning from its previous mistake, the Thunder Hawk flapped its wings repeatedly in an instant, accompanied by howling winds, as it shot dozens of iron feathers at Wang Chen.

These black feathers were like arrows, shooting through the air lightning-fast, enveloping Wang Chen completely in the blink of an eye.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Wang Chen stood his ground on the rock, unflinchingly wielding his spear to shake off and deflect the incoming iron feathers.

The Overlord Spear, being a battle formation weapon, could protect him not just from dozens of iron feathers, but even from thousands of arrows if they were to rain down simultaneously.

After two volleys of iron feathers failed to injure Wang Chen in the slightest, the Black Feather Thunder Hawk finally realized it could not wash away today’s shame and indignantly screeched a few times, preparing to return to its nest.

But how could Wang Chen simply watch the creature slip away?

Even though he couldn’t fly up to the sky to decide life and death with the Black Feather Thunder Hawk, he still had the Sun Shooting Bow with him!

Planting the Overlord Spear firmly beside him, Wang Chen quickly unslung his bow and notched an arrow, aiming at the Black Feather Thunder Hawk hovering above.

The Sun Shooting Bow was of a dark gold color, with both the bow body and the string made of metal, and the pull so strong that Wang Chen had to use nearly all his strength to fully draw it.

The Falling Moon Arrows, matched with the Sun Shooting Bow, were made of the same material as the bow, weighing at least ten times more than regular arrows.

When the formidable Innate True Qi was infused into the Divine Weapon, Wang Chen and the Sun Shooting Bow resonated subtly, as if the latter had become part of his body, and the Falling Moon Arrow an extension of his limb.

In a flash, Wang Chen locked-on to the Black Feather Thunder Hawk in the sky, releasing the bowstring without a second thought.

Boom!

The sound was as thunderous as a thunderclap.
