Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

But just as he was crying out, a blood line suddenly appeared on the crown of his head, splitting his body in two. His mana, sliced as easily as tofu, he was cleaved in half.

Chu Yuan grabbed and the two halves of the carcass crumbled into a significant surge of energy.

"Ah! Even a Peering-through-the-Heavens Tenth Layer expert has been killed. He is slaughtering them!"

Seeing Yuan Shan Meng Cun reduced to nothing, the people were stricken with terror. Under the leadership of the two Peering-through-the-Heavens Tenth Layer experts, they could muster the courage to attack. But, at this moment, they undoubtedly went from being the attackers to the massacred.

The highest cultivator among them, a Peering-through-the-Heavens Seventh Layer expert, promptly began to flee.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Chu Yuan watches these panicked people run and reaches out, immediately drawing the Great Devouring Technique into himself. With a pat on the head, the fleeing figure deflates like a balloon sucked dry of air.

"Just a casual grasp and the Peering-through-the-Heavens Seventh Layer cultivator is dead!"

"No! Don't kill us, we are willing to compensate!"

"City Lord of Dawu, your ruthless slaughter will have consequences!"

....

A series of various screams echo. These people, staring at Chu Yuan, are stricken with terror to their core, screaming hysterically.

"This monarch has already said, those who cross the thunder pool must die!"

The destructive devouring force suddenly spread in all directions.

Boom... Chu Yuan was like a king bathed in blood, and the power spread wherever he went. All sorts of flesh and soul turned into a majestic mist, and as he moved, they were swallowed up aggressively into his body.

There were at least five or six hundred people here, but these people were slaughtered like chickens, and in no time at all, they were all wiped out.

At this moment, a layer of blood-colored mist lingers around him, he was like a god in hell, unrivaled.

Divine Abilities Ninth Layer!

Boom!

A tremendous power surges into Chu Yuan's body!

Only by slaughtering two Peering-through-the-Heavens Tenth Layer and five or six hundred experts, and swallowing up so much mana, did Chu Yuan advance his realm to the Divine Abilities Ninth Layer. The needed energy was simply astounding, unbelievable.

"Ding, the host has completed selection three and has obtained three hundred Destiny Points, Spiritual Energy Rice x1."

"Spiritual Energy Rice?"

Chu Yuan curiously looked at the golden rice grain in the System Space, but instead of a single rice grain he had imagined, there was a golden stalk of rice.

The rice stalk was very long, about a meter, and there were hundreds of grains of rice on it. Each grain was round like a pearl, clinging together, emitting a pure fragrance and ethereal energy.

Spiritual Energy Rice: The rice that is cultivated with spiritual energy. Eating it can strengthen the body, prolong life, and make you feel vibrant. It needs to be planted in a place abundant with spiritual energy and it can be harvested once every four months, three times a year.

[Note: The more prosperous the spiritual energy, the faster the Spiritual Energy Rice can grow and the spiritual energy crystals can accelerate its growth.]

"This Spiritual Energy Rice has such an effect!"

Upon seeing the introduction of Spiritual Energy Rice, Chu Yuan's face is filled with joy, "Although it does not have as great an effect as the elixir directly, rice is one of the most important grains, it is food. This is more effective than giving me an excellent Divine Artifact. First, cultivate, then promote it nationwide, let every family eat this rice.

Everyone will have strong bodies and the speed of martial arts training will greatly accelerate. This is the national treasure that enhances strength!"

He knew that in some truly powerful dynasties, the rice they ate was extraordinary.

Although he could refine a large number of elixirs, the elixirs were ultimately limited. It was impossible for the army to eat them as meals every day, let alone the billions of people in the country.

This Spiritual Energy Rice given to the people would certainly make them more supportive of Dawu. This is the Divine Artifact that wins people's hearts.

"After the matter of the ancient city is over, we must raise a large number of them at any cost, and let the people all be able to eat it."

Watching the Spiritual Energy Rice, Chu Yuan found it more pleasing to the eye than a divine artifact.

He was an emperor, and the livelihood of tens of billions of people in the country was a concern for him.

Only a stable and prosperous empire can constantly gather the faith of national fortune.

"Your Majesty, we can enter the ancient city of Shang."

Zhao Kong did not know that Chu Yuan had obtained the Spiritual Energy Rice, and he lowered his head even further after seeing the high-level hands being killed.

"Come, follow me and see what's left for us in this ancient city of Shang!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chu Yuan and Lu Qianfu, Zhao Kong quickly entered the interior of the ancient city. The other people stayed outside on guard.

The city was huge, it can accommodate tens of millions of people living simultaneously. The architectural style was significantly different from that of Dawu. Although it had been sealed for tens of thousands of years and was completely desolate, it was nurtured by mana crystal mines and had not decayed.

It was empty and there was not a single person or sign that anyone had ever lived there.

They wondered what the purpose of Shang to seal such an ancient city was. Was it to rise again?

"Find the center of this place first."

The city was large, but it took only a few minutes for Chu Yuan and the others to move back and forth at their speed. Soon, they arrived at a place that resembled a City Lord's mansion. After conducting a search with their divine senses, they quickly located a warehouse.

"Your Majesty, be careful, there could be traps!"

Lu Qianfu warned.

"Don't worry."

With a single cut from Chu Yuan, the warehouse was cut open.

Immediately, a cold breath came out. Chu Yuan saw that this warehouse was quite large and filled with swords, guns, axes, halberds, all eighteen types of weapons, approximately one million pieces in total.

Despite tens of thousands of years having passed, there were no signs of decay.

Chu Yuan noticed a hint of light in the weapons. It appeared they were mixed with Meteorite Fine Gold. Moreover, the art of steel forging was far superior to that of Dawu. No wonder there were no traces of decay. It was befitting of the once Five-Star Imperial Dynasty.

"Good, have all these things moved into the military supply depot!"

Chu Yuan instructed Lu Qianfu to take them.

The Shang's standard weapons were much better crafted than Dawu's.

After all, a freshly promoted Two-Star Imperial Dynasty could not be compared to a Five-Star Imperial Dynasty from thousands of years ago.

"This is an armory for storing armors."

Chu Yuan once again searched, noting, "Although I don't know how Shang ended up in ruins, Shang obviously built such a huge ancient city because they hoped to rise again one day. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the sealed ancient city has been opened by me."

"There is so much in here!"

In just half an hour of searching, Lu Qianfu had already taken several kilometers of supplies into the Military Supply Depot. The variety of goods was vast and limitless.

"Looking at the size of the ancient city, it's not for ordinary people to inhabit, but for soldiers. The supplies must have stocked for tens of millions of people, and this is just the tip of the iceberg."

Boom! Accompanying Chu Yuan's declaration, his divine sense was cast out like a blanket.

A surge of mana illuminates the entire ancient city. As if by command, it seems as though some hidden formation was activated, tearing open the barrier, no longer hiding the treasures therein. All were laid bare before Chu Yuan.

A massive hidden treasury suddenly emerged before the three of them.

Upon seeing this treasury, Chu Yuan knew that all the treasures of this city would now be his.

Others would be overjoyed to find a few treasures, but he had discovered an entire city's worth of treasuries!
