Chapter 784: Shooting the Eagle

The elixirs stored by Elder Yao in the secret vault were certainly not ordinary items.

In terms of rank, all these elixirs were sixth-level and seventh-tier, corresponding to Post-natal and innate martial artists.

There were not only blood marrow pills but also Innate Pills required for the transition from Post-natal to innate!

Shao Hongcheng had once told Wang Chen that even with his wealth, he could not afford a single Innate Pill.

Yet in this large box, there were as many as ten bottles of Innate Pills.

With nine pills in each bottle, that made ninety pills!

Earlier, Elder Yao had mentioned that to help Shao Hongcheng break through to the Post-natal Great Realm, he must find his secret vault.

The key to that breakthrough lay within these bottles of elixirs.

With so many higher-level elixirs, they could forcefully push Shao Hongcheng to the Post-natal Great Realm.

Reaching innate was not impossible!

“In my seventh life, I was the greatest alchemist in this realm,”

Elder Yao said calmly, “I have created numerous formulas.”

Wang Chen could only express his admiration with a resounding “wow.”

He continued to open the boxes.

The next items were even more diverse, including all sorts of precious materials, original technique manuals, and a wide array of weapons and equipment.

It is no exaggeration to say that the total wealth of this secret vault surpassed that of the entire Chibi City!

Among the weapons alone, there were three divine weapons!

The Overlord Spear, the Mountain Slayer Blade, and the Sun Shooting Bow!

Wang Chen…

Wanted them all!

Elder Yao’s skills were truly remarkable; the items stored in the secret vault, whether elixirs, materials, manuals, or weapons, remained intact even after a hundred years.

These three divine weapons were hidden in separate boxes, and when opened, they emitted radiant light and a sharp aura, carrying a special destructive power.

Ordinary martial artists could not suppress them.

It was said that divine weapons chose their masters, and anyone who forced their use without recognition would suffer backlash.

But this was no problem for Wang Chen.

Whether it was the Overlord Spear, Mountain Slayer Blade, or the Sun Shooting Bow, they behaved obediently in his hands, showing no signs of resistance.

Elder Yao informed Wang Chen that these divine weapons would only be considered high-grade spirit tools in the Haotian Realm and were not even classified as true spirit tools.

The reason was simple: the Misty Mountains Realm lacked spiritual energy, so no matter how powerful the divine weapons were, they could not gather spiritual light and naturally could not be elevated.

However, there was still a possibility. By using divine weapons to slay higher-level fierce beasts and devour their blood marrow essence to gather spiritual energy, transformation and promotion could occur.

Of course, even if they could not be promoted to spirit tools, the destructive power of the divine weapons was still immensely strong in this world.

The Overlord Spear possesses an innate power to intimidate and dismantle formations, rendering it invincible in mass combat. The Mountain Slayer Blade is capable of cleaving through all things, its force unstoppable and indomitable, while the Sun Shooting Bow can strike down foes from a thousand paces, its arrows piercing through the heaviest of armors with unparalleled sharpness!

With these three divine weapons at his disposal, Wang Chen’s combat ability was significantly enhanced, as if a tiger had grown wings, doubling his prowess.

Moreover, within the secret vault treasures lay martial arts manuals that detailed techniques specifically tailored for each of the divine weapons: spear techniques, swordsmanship, and archery.

This compelled Wang Chen to extend his stay in the cave by an additional day to practice these arts.

The fighting moves that complemented the divine weapons were indeed extraordinary. However, Wang Chen’s extensive martial arts experience, combined with the tutelage of Elder Yao, a Nascent Soul true immortal, made mastering these techniques a breeze.

After all, no matter how formidable the fighting moves, they did not transcend the mundane realm.

Upon exiting the secret vault and resealing its entrance, Wang Chen bore three divine weapons and a pouch brimming with elixirs.

The secret vault was a trove of countless treasures, but without a storage bag, Wang Chen could only carry away what he could hold.

In truth, Wang Chen harbored no greed, for he was not a native of this world and knew he would eventually depart.

No amount of treasures or wealth could accompany him on his journey.

Furthermore, many items within the vault were commonplace in the Haotian Realm, some even rendered useless.

Armed with the Overlord Spear, the Mountain Slayer Blade at his side, and the Sun Shooting Bow on his back, Wang Chen burst through the waterfall’s curtain of water with a formidable presence.

As Wang Chen emerged, a dark shadow suddenly descended from the heavens, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, aiming straight for him.

Wang Chen, ever prepared, landed on a large rock by the pool and thrust the Overlord Spear skyward with a mighty force.

"Beast, meet your doom!"

The spear shot forth like a dragon, exuding an overwhelming aura. The dark golden spearhead erupted with a dazzling light, precisely piercing through the gap between the talons and striking the chest of the black-feather Thunder Eagle.

Screech!

The seventh-tier fierce bird let out a piercing cry, tumbling and skidding several paces away, scattering blood and broken feathers.

The black-feather Thunder Eagle’s iron feathers were incredibly tough, impervious even to profound weapons.

But Wang Chen wielded a divine weapon!

Infused with innate true energy, the Overlord Spear unleashed its destructive power, piercing through the Thunder Eagle’s protective iron feathers and into its body.

Had the beast not rolled away at the last moment, it would have been impaled by the spear.

Wounded and enraged, the black-feather Thunder Eagle flapped its wings with all its might, soaring high into the sky.

In an instant, it ascended to a height of several dozen feet.

This was the Thunder Eagle’s talent ability, allowing it to dart through the air like lightning, covering a hundred steps in the blink of an eye, making it a formidable foe whether attacking or escaping.

Screech~

Having narrowly escaped, the Thunder Eagle was not content to retreat. After circling the sky, it dove once more towards Wang Chen.

This time, however, it had learned from its previous mistake. Its wings beat rapidly, stirring up a fierce gale as it launched dozens of iron feathers at Wang Chen.

These black feathers flew like arrows, slicing through the air with lightning speed, enveloping Wang Chen in an instant.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Wang Chen stood firm on the rock, neither dodging nor retreating. He gripped his spear tightly, sending out bursts of Spear Light to deflect the incoming iron feathers.

The Overlord Spear, designed for battle formations, could withstand not just dozens of iron feathers, but even a barrage of a thousand arrows.

After two waves of iron feathers failed to harm Wang Chen, the black-feather Thunder Eagle finally realized it could not avenge its humiliation today. It let out a few resentful cries and prepared to return to its nest.

But Wang Chen was not about to let the creature escape.

Though he could not fly to engage the Thunder Eagle in the sky, he still had the Sun Shooting Bow!

Planting the Overlord Spear firmly beside him, Wang Chen quickly drew the bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the Thunder Eagle circling above.

The Sun Shooting Bow gleamed with a dark golden hue, its body and string forged from metal, requiring Wang Chen to exert nine-tenths of his strength to fully draw it.

The Falling Moon Arrow, paired with the Sun Shooting Bow, was crafted from the same material as the longbow, weighing at least ten times that of a standard arrow.

As Wang Chen channeled his innate true energy into the divine weapon, he felt a profound resonance with the Sun Shooting Bow, as if it had become an extension of his own body, and the Falling Moon Arrow an extension of his limbs.

In an instant, Wang Chen locked onto the black-feather Thunder Eagle in the sky and released the bowstring without hesitation.

Bang!

The sound echoed like a thunderclap.
