Pushing forward and being invincible: starting from adding points in the dream

Chapter 565 The Effects of the Divine [Emperor]'s Steel Bone Breakthrough

hum! !

An invisible fluctuation suddenly appeared, startling everyone inside the fortress.

Looking closely, one can see golden arcs of light suddenly appearing in mid-air, crisscrossing left and right in wisps.

A majestic aura swept over him, and Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He felt an unprecedented surge of power, and even subconsciously thought of the Holy Federation and He Mulan, the Sword Emperor Red General.

"This is."

A startled voice echoed in his mind, as if the Protoss had discovered something familiar and astonishing.

Pandor behind him was even more alarmed, his face solemn, and he subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to block in front of him.

hum! !

Immediately, golden light condensed.

A phantom image took shape, revealing a golden-robed figure seated on a throne.

Its face was obscured, and it floated in mid-air.

Only those majestic eyes peering through the golden light instantly caused the faces of the fortress's high-ranking officials to change drastically.

"This is."

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

pat!

Xu Linshan stood up immediately, his military boots making a crisp sound as they hit the ground.

The respectful shout brought everyone back to their senses, and then the other high-ranking lords and generals bowed repeatedly in salute.

"It's actually a [Emperor]!"

The Protoss exclaimed in surprise again, immediately recognizing that this was a familiar deity.

And it seemed as if they sensed something.

It was clear that the golden-robed figure on the throne cast his gaze upon Chen Feng, and their eyes met.

"Outsiders?"

He suddenly spoke, his voice resounding, deep and authoritative.

An invisible aura separated the two, and the surrounding imperial people were unaware of this, still bowing and paying their respects.

Chen Feng frowned slightly, somewhat surprised that his origins had been seen through so quickly.

The Star Spirit in his mind, however, had no time to explain and hurriedly suppressed its fluctuations, trying to hide itself, as the trip to the Federation had left a shadow on him.

"I bear you no ill will."

As if sensing Chen Feng's wariness and also as if noticing the Star Spirit's concealment, the man in the golden robe calmly said, "[Fortress Seven] survived because of you, avoiding the worst outcome."

"In fact, I should be thanking you on behalf of the Empire."

The words echoed in their hearts once more; the unspoken conversation was known only to the two of them.

After a brief silence, Chen Feng was fairly certain that the other party did not have any malicious intent for the time being.

Moreover, he can be certain of it.

The illusory figure before him was not the real one, and even if it wanted to attack, he was not powerless to resist.

"Are you the ruler of an ancient empire?"

To put it another way, even though Chen Feng had already guessed the answer, he still wanted to confirm his guess.

"You can understand that."

Responding softly, the man in the golden robe, though his face was obscured, glanced around.

“In fact, this world was once dominated by me.”

"But times have changed, and things are constantly evolving. I am now just an emperor of an empire."

The authoritative voice carried a hint of emotion, and Chen Feng seemed to be deep in thought.

The conflict between the Taydo Kingdom and the ancient empire seems quite significant, and according to him, there may be other hidden reasons.

"Anyway, I'm just here to confirm one thing."

The sentimentality vanished, and the man in the golden robe resumed his authoritative tone.

In the exchange of glances, he calmly spoke, leaving behind his final words.

"No matter where you come from, I will grant you one request."

"As for the fortress, they will agree to your conditions and hope that you can help protect this place for the time being."

hum!
As soon as the words were spoken, the golden phantom gradually dissipated.

Its majestic eyes also turned into arcs of light and eventually disappeared.

The surrounding fortress leaders were stunned and bewildered.

A few people stood frozen in place, their pupils dilated, as if receiving some kind of information or instruction.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment.

Chen Feng frowned and stood there, pondering the conversation he had just had.

"Allow yourself to make one request?"

Somewhat strangely, he hadn't expected the other party to be willing to show such goodwill.

The ruler of the empire, a divine being.

The fact that the opponent had to make a move clearly indicates the cost involved.

And now.
"He may have spotted me."

The Protoss suddenly spoke in his mind, his tone somewhat complicated.

As a once highly advanced intelligence of the ancient Taido civilization, many deities were aware of her existence.

These later successors, the new divine beings, may have obtained the corresponding data and information, and recognized her origins.

"The [Emperor]'s ability is very special. It can ignore spatial distance and project itself within a certain range to exert a portion of its power."

"Furthermore, because of the energy core of the divine fragment, it has mastered some of the astral rules and can, to a certain extent, make its words law."

She took the initiative to introduce the abilities of the [Emperor]. Upon hearing this, Chen Feng focused his attention, which deepened his understanding of the divine.

This is a being that transcends angels and is known as a demigod.

The so-called rules are almost like authority, and are beyond the imagination and understanding of ordinary people.

Tread!

Immediately, before Chen Feng could think about it again...

The high command of the Imperial Fortress finally came to their senses, and Xu Linshan, dressed in a brown military overcoat, stepped closer and walked over from one side of the command table.

"Your Excellency Flamebringer, the Emperor is already aware of your request."

"We will prepare everything you need immediately. Once the [Heart of the Empire] is fully repaired, the capital will send people to deliver all the strategic resources."

A hint of surprise, previously absent, appeared in his eyes as he spoke, recalling the Emperor's instructions.

The fact that this empire's ruler attaches such importance to it clearly indicates that it's not just about Fortress No. 7.

"Could it be that the Emperor wants to recruit Lord Flame because of his strength?"

One guess after another emerged, but no definite answer could be found.

Unaware of the other party's complex thoughts, and ignoring the astonished looks from other high-ranking officials of the empire.

Chen Feng nodded slightly, ultimately deciding to continue with the original plan.

Regardless of why the Emperor shows him goodwill, he still needs to gather the resources he requires as soon as possible.

Immediately afterward, in a brief final conversation.

He officially established a cooperative relationship with the fortress, agreeing to stay there temporarily to help guard Fortress No. 7.

Once the negotiations concluded, the alloy gates of the command fortress reopened.

Chen Feng strode out of the fortress, and no one stopped him. In fact, someone came forward to guide him and arrange accommodations.

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed and gradually faded into the distance.

After the alloy gate closed again, all the high-ranking officials looked at Xu Linshan, asking questions and expressing their curiosity.

"Lord?"

"Was that person a deity?"

On the way out, Pandor followed behind Chen Feng and asked curiously.

The High Wall Alliance has also produced martial arts masters and transcendent saints, even leading these angelic-level powerhouses in a decisive battle against the Black Tide. Because of this, he could naturally sense how majestic and transcendent the aura of the [Emperor] was.

"Ah."

Nodding, Chen Feng confirmed the other party's guess.

As they moved forward, an Imperial Major General named Noel led the way, accompanied by a team of cyborgs.

Looking to the left and right, they were currently on a platform atop the high walls of the fortress.

One side is right next to the battlefield, with many fixed giant turrets on the gray-black walls, flashing with crackling arcs from time to time, ready to unleash energy beams at any moment.

On the other side is the city protected by the fortress.

Perhaps because of its proximity to the battlefield, the architectural style here is also biased towards war and military.

Whether shaped like a metal fortress or a gray-black outpost, the flat, wide, paved roads, like straight lines, divide the complex into square areas.

"This is the southernmost part of our empire, called South Rock City."

"Because of its proximity to the fortress and the constant warfare, most of the people here are soldiers' families or reserve members of the army."

The Imperial Major General named Nor was a middle-aged man in his forties. Perhaps noticing Chen Feng's gaze, he took the opportunity to speak and introduce the fortress city, thus avoiding the unfamiliarity and silence along the way.

Nodding slightly, Chen Feng looked towards the interior of the city as he spoke.

The rows of steel-like block buildings appeared somewhat solemn, and there were few people on the streets, only imperial soldiers on guard and patrol.

Most of the family members and residents were nervously hiding inside their houses, clearly still shaken by the previous battle.

"Is that the [Heart of the Empire]?"

Chen Feng suddenly asked, looking at a key area right next to the fortress.

Several teams of cyborgs patrolled and guarded the area, sealing off the neighborhood.

The wreckage of a Thai warship has destroyed more than a dozen steel buildings, and sparks are still burning at this moment.

Near the wreckage, a blue light shield over a kilometer long could be seen solidifying and blooming.

The transmission device had collapsed and was destroyed, leaving only broken and scattered metal blocks, each several meters long.

The surrounding ground was scorched black and covered with traces of the explosion. The huge crater, hundreds of meters deep, was like a blood hole in the city, deeply engraved in the spot.

"Oh, that's right."

He didn't deny it, but Noel paused slightly and sighed.

His eyes flickered with a hint of indignation as he explained the sudden attack launched by the Thai warships.

The high-dimensional teleportation was forcibly interrupted, and the Imperial warriors on guard nearby were all swallowed up by the explosion.

Looking inside, one could see Imperial squads in hazmat suits entering and clearing away the bodies of many soldiers from the charred ruins and the deep crater from the explosion.

One by one, white sheets were wrapped up, and levitation devices descended to help with the transport.

The scars left by war are thus etched into the fortified city, and Chen Feng roughly understands where the conflict between these two civilized nations comes from.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he glanced at the sky above.

The azure sky appeared normal, but upon closer inspection, he saw the fortress's light shield spreading layer by layer, heading straight for the heavens.

"This is the Iron Curtain."

"Our creations were designed to isolate spatial fluctuations and block sudden teleportation intrusions. They were originally researched and invented to resist the sudden arrival of the Black Tide."

The Protoss spoke again in his mind, seemingly with a touch of nostalgia.

These cultural artifacts and technological creations inherited from the ancient Taido were so familiar that they always reminded her of the past and stirred up a complex feeling of the vicissitudes of life.

"However, it seems that the Thai Kingdom has found some kind of weakness in this."

"Otherwise, it would have been impossible to overcome the Iron Curtain and successfully launch a sneak attack."

Suppressing his complicated feelings, the Protoss shook his head, somewhat sighing, acknowledging that later civilizations also had their merits.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng withdrew his gaze and, under the guidance of others, walked to the urban area behind the fortress, to a gray-black oval house that resembled a fortress.

"This area is the logistics zone of the fortress."

"We apologize for the limited number of electronic devices here due to concerns about cyber intrusion from Thailand."

"If you need anything, you can give them orders at any time, or contact me and General Xu."

Noel, who was leading the group, pointed to a team of cyborgs behind him, indicating that they would stay behind as guards and stand watch at the entrance.

Without revealing his intentions, Chen Feng knew that the fortress's higher-ups were still somewhat wary and wanted to use this to keep an eye on him to avoid any accidents.

"it is good."

Without saying anything more, Chen Feng then led Pandor into the house.

The sturdy door slowly closed, cutting off the view between the inside and outside.

The room was simply decorated, with gray cement walls and a steel floor.

The entire house has only one floor, with two rooms facing each other on the left and right, and a spacious living room in the middle.

The room is fully furnished with a sofa and a TV, as well as several metal tables and chairs, but the overall look is somewhat old.

"Just stay in the neighborhood and don't cause trouble."

After giving Pandor a casual instruction, Chen Feng went into a bedroom.

A layer of cotton quilt was laid on the hard metal bed. He amplified his senses and confirmed that there were no surveillance devices.

"It seems they are quite sensible."

The Protoss also performed an electromagnetic scan to confirm, and then said with a smile.

Although the fortress's leadership was on guard, they still maintained their final principles and respect.

"In fact, the ancient empires and the Taido Kingdom could not have inherited our traditional technology for no reason."

"I need to check again to see if the [Golden Sun] might actually exist in this world."

Immediately afterward, a brief exchange took place.

She quickly disappeared and prepared for the matter.

The room became somewhat quiet. Chen Feng stood by the window and took one last look at the outside world.

Imperial soldiers were still patrolling the wide, gray streets.

And at the same moment.

The panel appeared, and he finally had time to check his previous gains.

[Steel Bone LV7→LV8!]

【Steelbow LV8: 11/100】

[Honor of Kings upgrade successful!]

【.】

A series of messages emerged, all from the previous battle at the fortress.

The realm-class mech and the several high-altitude warships that were destroyed provided him with a considerable amount of metal nutrients.

Even Serik's immeasurable mech successfully plundered a piece of super metal essence the moment he broke through the light shield barrier.

"The Boundless-level mecha is indeed extraordinary; its sturdiness is no less than that of my current physique."

"Moreover, even Steel Bone failed to completely destroy it."

A thought flashed through Chen Feng's mind, and he remembered the situation at that time.

What was originally a punch that could have blasted the mech apart was ultimately blocked by some kind of special energy, which deflected most of the impact.

"Perhaps, that is the [Boundless Core] that the Protoss mentioned."

With some vague guesses forming, Chen Feng began to experience the transformation brought about by the upgrade of his steel bones.

Its hardness has increased dramatically, completely exceeding the range of rainbow iron.

When fully activated, it can travel 10,000 meters away from the body, transforming into a golden sword with a speed exceeding that of a sonic boom.

Or perhaps it's a distraction that creates a continuous barrage of arrows, unleashing piercing combos at will.

If used for defense, its range is reduced, and its bones are compressed.

It can also be transformed into humanoid armor with higher density and stronger defense.

One side

"not only that."

Upon careful observation, Chen Feng discovered a key point.

The Steel Bones provide a permanent boost to physical strength.

It seems to have gotten even stronger?
