After Using Cheats, I Became The Strongest Beast Tamer-Chapter 501 - 363: Rod of Breaking Boundaries_2

The Emperor Xuan Yi once personally bestowed a plaque to him, inscribed with: "Constructing the ocean-spanning purple-gold beams, lifting the sky-supporting white jade pillars."

However, Ying Wushang before me was nothing like the photographs in history textbooks.

In the history books, his hair wasn’t white, and he didn’t look this young; instead, he had the face of someone approaching fifty.

No wonder I didn’t recognize him at first.

"Although we have to make several preparations, obtaining the World-Breaker Scepter must be treated as a priority task. Lv Yinyin, you’ll be in charge of borrowing it. You have a wide range of connections and are quite familiar with those in the Eagle Federation who have Ascended," Chen Xing instructed.

"Alright," replied an elderly man beside him, wearing a hat, round-framed glasses, and a Zhongshan suit, with a slight nod.

"This gentleman is the founder of the Fukai Business Alliance," Qiu Shangqing quietly introduced to Chen Xing.

A feeling of mild surprise stirred within Chen Xing; this was yet another important figure.

The founder of the Fukai Business Alliance.

The largest domestic business alliance was Fukai, and though the name sounded somewhat rustic, it was the largest in the country, with branches established not only within Great Xia but also in many nations on Blue Star, making it a truly global enterprise.

Chen Xing had always conducted his transactions with the Universal Commerce Union because Gong Yilan had given him a membership card. Having grown accustomed to trading there, Chen Xing couldn’t be bothered to switch.

The group was efficient. After the discussion, they divided tasks according to the previously agreed-upon plan and set into motion.

Chen Xing found the old Silver Dragon squatting outside the Divine Country.

Standing behind them, looking from a distance, a row stretched out: five white and one red, six dragons squatting in a line on the ground, butts raised, their gaze unwavering from the crystal barrier of the Divine Country ahead.

It seemed they were waiting for the barrier to be unsealed.

"Lord Dragon," Chen Xing approached, "why don’t you stay here for the time being? After all, you said it would be a maximum of a year before this place opens up, right?"

The old Silver Dragon chuckled, immediately seeing through the young one’s scheme.

The beads of his abacus had all but collided with his face.

"Alright," it agreed nonetheless.

It hadn’t planned to depart right away, anyway.

With the Divine Country having fallen right before it, it would be too disrespectful to the Dragon Clan not to enter.

After all, time didn’t hold much significance for them.

Less than a year was mere moments, and since sleeping deeply would be the only activity upon returning, the option hardly required hesitation when compared to the Divine Country on the ground before them.

Besides, staying would also provide protection for its dear grandchild.

If so many outsiders arrived and someone happened upon its grandchild, realizing its uniqueness and aiming to engage in acts unbefitting of Dragons, what then?

Although Chen Xing had guessed that the old Silver Dragon and its kind would likely stay, receiving a definite response still brought him some comfort.

"Lord Dragon, is there any way to open the crystal barrier ahead of time?" he inquired.

At these words, the Red Lotus Heartburn Flame Dragon beside them couldn’t help but snicker, "This is the Divine Country’s crystal barrier, not the wall of the Fentian Giant City. It’s not something you can break just by saying so."

"Not to say there aren’t any ways," the old Silver Dragon contemplated, "but there aren’t many. To my knowledge, there are only three methods."

"I am eager to hear them," Chen Xing said.

"First, employ a more formidable power to directly destroy the barrier; for example, another deity. Although the barrier is sturdy, without the maintenance of the Divine Country’s owner, it is but rootless duckweed."

Another deity?

The Formless Lord of Death should count.

But it seems it can’t leave just yet.

"Second, there are some Divine Artifacts imbued with special authorities capable of specifically breaking through the barrier."

"Divine Artifacts?" Discover more stories at novelbuddy

"Weapons forged by deities using their authority are known as Divine Artifacts.

Every deity can only forge one Divine Artifact, so every stray artifact in the world signifies a deity who has either perished or slumbered."

This... sounded oddly familiar.

The old Silver Dragon continued: "The artifacts forged by deities are related to their divine authorities.

During the wars of the Ancient Gods, some deities fell and their artifacts were left on earth, but to find such an artifact related to breaking barriers within such short notice..."

The old silver dragon thought it was unlikely.

So it had never considered that possibility from the start.

Chen Xing earnestly asked, "Dragon Lord, do you know of any famous divine artifacts of this type?"

The old silver dragon turned its head, looking somewhat surprised, "What, do you actually have a divine artifact?"

Hearing this, Chen Xing shook his head, "I’m not sure, I’m just a junior, but we can ask first, then go and inquire about the corresponding divine artifacts, there’s always a direction."

At these words, the old silver dragon couldn’t help but laugh. Did he really think divine artifacts were as common as cabbages?

It looked deeply at Chen Xing, "The allure of divine artifacts is not small; even the great figures among those who achieve Ascension are tempted by them."

"To my knowledge, divine artifacts with the ability to break through crystal barriers include the Claw of Theft, Heaven Punishing Divine Horn, World-ending Dragon Crown, Void Wings, Eye of Ruin, and the Barrier Breaking Scepter."

Of course, there might be other divine artifacts, but these are the ones I know of."

Chen Xing heard a name that was familiar to him.

His heart steadied, but he also felt a bit strange.

"Dragon Lord, why do these divine artifacts, by their names, mostly sound like they are some kind of body part?"

The Red Lotus Heartburn Flame Dragon beside them interjected languidly, "Only human-shaped deities would create weapons for human use. We of the Dragon Clan using human weapons—if I were to become a god, the divine artifacts I’d create would either be my claws or my teeth."

"What about the third kind, Dragon Lord?"

"The third kind, huh? In the Ancient Times, there was a species called the Void Devouring Ancestral Serpent, which specialized in traveling through the void and gnawing through crystal barriers. Because their organs were excellent materials for creating divine artifacts, they were almost driven to extinction and are hardly seen now.

Besides the Void Devouring Ancestral Serpent, some monsters with a spatial attribute also have similar abilities. But they would not be able to destroy the crystal barriers of Divine Countries in a short time. To my knowledge, only the Void Devouring Ancestral Serpent can."

"The Sky-bound Beast seems capable too; their species is adept at space traversal. However, it can only enter by itself and cannot take others in, but this species is also now rare, said to be hiding deep in the Star Sea."

After bidding farewell to everyone, Chen Xing sent the message about the Barrier Breaking Scepter’s ability to break through crystal barriers into the nine-person group chat.

Suddenly, his phone pinged with alerts.

Ying Wushang: "Great!"

Emperor Xuan Yi: "Very good."

Qiu Shangqing: "Impressive."

...

With a clear answer in hand, everyone adjusted their strategic focus.

They placed the strategic focus on the Barrier Breaking Scepter.

A day later, Lv Jinyin returned with results: they had successfully borrowed the Barrier Breaking Scepter.

But an agreement had been reached with the Eagle Federation.

The Eagle Federation would send five hundred people to participate in the exploration of the Divine Country.

Whether it was a large or small number of people didn’t really matter. For Great Xia, it was not very significant.

Because the Divine Country was within the territories of Great Xia and Fentian.

And Fentian was being systematically taken over.

So, in theory, Great Xia had no limit to the number of people it could send. They could send as many as they wanted into it.

However, considering the dangers and uncertainties inside, the first group to explore would not be very large.

Moreover, not all of Great Xia’s Ascendants would enter. After discussions, at most three Ascendants would be sent in.

One third of the number was a safe threshold.

Even if all were trapped inside due to some accident, at most it would be a heavy loss, but still within what Great Xia could withstand.

Emperor Xuan Yi looked at Chen Xing, "Do you want to go in?"

"I want to have a look," Chen Xing admitted his desire.

"No, it’s too dangerous. You are the youngest to achieve Ascension, and no one knows what’s really inside the Divine Country." Emperor Xuan Yi shook his head, "Wait until the others have explored and have a clearer picture of the situation before entering, it will be more stable."

Chen Xing frowned, "But the other explorers will also face danger."

"But there are also opportunities, it’s a willing gamble for both parties." Saying this, Emperor Xuan Yi fell silent for a moment, "Do you really want to go? It’s true, with those giant dragons, your safety would indeed be higher than the average person’s."

After pondering for a while, Emperor Xuan Yi said, "In that case, you may go, but be careful."
