Chapter 212 Opening the Treasure Chest! Preparing for the Battle of Vulcan!
Hidden Sect

In a secluded grove, Ye Mingqiu looked at the three people in front of him and remained silent for a moment.

He turned to look at Fuxi and asked, "The Hidden God Tribe you mentioned, does it only consist of four people including you?"

"Uh, that's true for now, but the number will increase in the future. We're still in the early stages, and we'll continue to accept some members of the Divine Race who are dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Divine Race." Fuxi chuckled, answering somewhat awkwardly.

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu replied casually, not taking the situation of the Hidden Gods Tribe to heart. All he cared about was strength and whether he could continue to grow stronger. As for the state of the Hidden Gods Tribe, he didn't really care that much.

Of course, the Hidden Gods Department was worse than he had imagined, and the lack of opportunity to make money still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

另外
The people of the Hidden Gods seem to be fairly strong, stronger than ordinary gods, but weaker than the six great gods. From the perspective of ordinary gods, they should be considered elites.

"High Priest, are you sure he can be trusted?"

The only woman among the three, Peacock looked at Ye Mingqiu warily and asked.

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant has a very high reputation, but it is mostly infamous. He is powerful, vicious, uncontrollable, and unpredictable. Letting such a person know about the Hidden Gods Tribe is a very dangerous thing for her.

Immediately afterwards, the other two also looked at Ye Mingqiu standing behind Fuxi, their eyes full of vigilance. In fact, they did not trust the Bloodthirsty Tyrant either, but they just didn't say it.

Yun Zhongzi narrowed his eyes and asked, "As a god who is not wanted, you killed two great gods and nothing happened to you, so why did you come to our Hidden Gods Department?"

"He killed the Holy King Tianwu of the Divine Race."

Fuxi suddenly spoke.

The three members of the Hidden Gods were stunned at the same time, and then they showed an expression of disbelief. Although they knew that the Bloodthirsty Tyrant was very strong, they never expected that this guy was so strong that he could even kill a Saint King.

"Which holy king is it?" the peacock asked.

"Heavenly Martial Saint King".

"Heavenly Martial Saint King!"

In an instant, the group was even more shocked. They might not be familiar with the other Saint Kings, but they knew the Heavenly Martial Saint King very well, having fought their way up from the bottom. They also knew how terrifyingly powerful the Heavenly Martial Saint King was.

Ye Mingqiu didn't care about their surprise at all. He simply turned his head to look at Fuxi and asked, "How are those rebels doing? If nothing unexpected happens, they should be safe now, right? Did someone intervene? Did you expect this?"

"What terrifying sensory abilities."

Fuxi sighed, not too surprised, after all, he had said before that he could sense hostility, even hostility originating from the heavens.

It's not incomprehensible that they can now perceive the situation of the rebels.

"It was the Underworld Clan that made the move. In ancient times, the Underworld Clan and the God Clan fought a protracted war. In the end, the Underworld Clan was defeated and was chased to the Underworld by the God Clan. Due to the harsh conditions in the Underworld, it was difficult to wipe out the remnants of the Underworld Clan. So the God Clan and the Underworld Clan established a set of rules."

"The people of the Underworld shall never return to the human world from the underworld. From now on, they will never be able to enjoy the feeling of sunlight and warmth. If they dare to appear on the ground, they will be annihilated by the gods."

Fuxi smiled and continued, "Therefore, the Underworld Clan is a natural ally of the rebels. King Zhou's great achievements and the actions of the rebels have deeply moved them. The Underworld Clan secretly helped the rebels and formed an alliance. At this moment, they are engaged in fierce confrontation with the God Clan in the outside world."

"I see."

Ye Mingqiu nodded slightly.

No wonder the growth rate of faith power has stopped slowing down; it turns out that the Underworld Clan has intervened and is fighting alongside the rebels. With the help of the Underworld Clan, their situation will indeed improve considerably.

However, the Underworld Clan should also notice the abnormality in them. After all, his followers are all elites, possessing extraordinary human brilliance. Under that sun-like radiant will, the Underworld Clan will surely sense something is amiss.

There's no way around it, they're just too outstanding.

"It is said that those rebels always said that they saw the God of Rebellion, who radiated a golden light of hope, igniting the hidden passion in their hearts and teaching them how to rebel and how to gain true freedom through faith."

Fuxi's expression changed slightly as he curiously examined Ye Mingqiu and asked, "Who do you think this God of Rebellion is?"

"He might be an interesting guy."

Ye Mingqiu answered casually, not taking the matter to heart. He looked at Fuxi and asked, "When can you teach me the divine incantations? I want to learn more knowledge."

"Don't worry, I'll teach you soon."

Half a day later

Fuxi squatted in the corner, looking helpless like a child who had lived for countless years. He could understand if the other party was talented if they learned knowledge and skills quickly, but to learn knowledge at such a fast pace and even come up with things that he hadn't thought of was a bit terrifying.

He felt that with his current level of expertise, he would soon be unable to provide Ye Mingqiu with effective assistance, as the other party's learning ability was stronger than he had imagined.

so horrible!

Inside a small wooden cabin, Ye Mingqiu closed his eyes to digest the knowledge he had gained and tried to condense it into a Qi crystal in his hands.

My current strength is only that of a demigod. With the activation of the Eternal Sun and the Beast King's true form, I might be able to reach the strength of a God of Authority, but the gap is still too large to challenge a true deity.

In order to defeat the God of Fire, I must find more ways to counter Him. The Fiery Dragon Reverse Scale Armor, fire resistance, and elemental resistance are all solutions. The Qi Refining Creation ability can also work. Fuxi said that it is possible to create Qi Refining artifacts that are specific to the opponent during battle.

[When facing lightning, one can create Qi crystals with insulating properties; when facing fire, one can create Qi crystals with heat-insulating properties. Although these crystals cannot block the flames of the Fire God, they can at least play a role. The more proficient one is in mastering them, the better.]

At this moment, Ye Mingqiu possesses the special advantages of the Fengshenji world, making him far stronger than usual. However, even so, it would be difficult for him to defeat a true god.

Therefore, he decided to study elemental weaknesses and learn more techniques to counter the fire element.

For example, spells that increase fire resistance.

"draw."

Ye Mingqiu retrieved the materials left behind by Fuxi and meticulously inscribed incantations on his body.

At this moment, the incantation he was inscribing was called "Fire's Sorrow". After successful inscription, it would greatly increase his fire resistance, making him largely immune to fire damage when fighting fire attacks.

Time passed second by second, and about an hour later, the first [Fire Mourning] incantation was completed. Although the incantation appeared on Ye Mingqiu's body, it also penetrated into his soul, imprinting and binding itself to it.

The incantations of the gods are bound to their souls, so the number that can be used is relatively limited. Those with exceptionally strong souls can inscribe a relatively large number of incantations.

So Ye Mingqiu continued to inscribe.

Two, three, four, five.
He inscribed nine [Fire Mourning] spells on his body. At this moment, his soul finally felt a little burdened, but the feeling was not strong, and it seemed that it could continue to bear more spells.

Unfortunately, the materials were gone. The materials for inscribing the spells were all rare items. Even Fuxi, the former high priest, didn't have many spells left to inscribe the [Fire's Mourning].

Ugh!
However, his fire resistance should now be at a relatively good level, and hopefully he can perform well when facing the God of Fire.

Fuxi once said that one should be careful when inscribing incantations, and it is best not to have more than two, as it is very dangerous to carry three incantations on one's body at the same time.

He didn't sense the danger.

Perhaps it's because his soul potential is slightly stronger than that of a normal god?
Open the treasure chests! We've already opened all the regular treasure chests, and there wasn't anything useful. The key is the Overlord-level treasure chests. Based on the principle of extreme luck, if the regular treasure chests don't have anything good, then the Overlord-level treasure chests might be the one that gives you something good.

Ye Mingqiu opened the treasure chest list, and five overlord-level treasure chests came into view. They were: [Overlord-level treasure chest - Tai Chi], [Overlord-level treasure chest - Ghost Wood], [Overlord-level treasure chest - Heavenly Martial], [Overlord-level treasure chest - Li Jing], and [Overlord-level treasure chest - Ten Punishments].

Li Jing, you're the weakest!
Open yours first!

Congratulations on obtaining: The True Explanation of Fist Techniques

True Explanation of Boxing Techniques
Type: Consumables
Effect: After use, you can obtain a portion of Li Jing's boxing memories from his lifetime, and the boxing skill level will be increased according to the progress of digestion.

It's this thing?

These consumable items for memorizing techniques are also known as advanced experience books. They are generally much more effective than ordinary experience books. The stronger the user is, the more experience they gain, the stronger their comprehension after absorbing experience, and the higher their skill level will be.

Use directly!

[Hint: Successful use, you have gained the memory of Li Jing's boxing techniques]

In an instant, Ye Mingqiu felt as if he had transformed into Li Jing, appearing to review his life trajectory, watching him practice boxing little by little, watching him master various boxing techniques. These memories flooded into Ye Mingqiu's mind, constantly being digested and recorded.

Ye Mingqiu also entered a mysterious and special state, where the memories of boxing techniques in his mind were automatically combined, deduced, and constantly innovated, evolving into stronger skills.

[Hint: Your boxing skill level has been increased to level 6]

[Hint: Your boxing skill level has been increased to level 7]

[Hint: Your boxing skill level has been increased to level 8]

When Ye Mingqiu opened his eyes again, his fist technique skill level jumped three levels instantly, a huge improvement.

Because Li Jing's boxing skill level is 10, which is the limit of the first tier, his skill improvement is naturally quite terrifying. He was beaten badly before simply because his skill level was too low and he couldn't use his skills at all.

For skilled practitioners, the second tier is where their power begins. First-tier techniques, no matter how high their level, are only at the specialty level and cannot bring substantial improvement. However, at the second tier, the specialty will advance to mastery, bringing substantial improvement and a qualitative change.

Guimu, you're second to last, you might not even be able to beat Li Jing!

You can have the second one!

"when!"

With a muffled thud, a flash of black light appeared.

Congratulations on obtaining the skill book - Plague Mist.

A five-star skill book, which can be sold to Tang Ruobing later. It's not very useful, but it can probably be exchanged for other resources.

Tai Chi! It's your turn!
open!

Congratulations on receiving 10 Psionic Points!

Tai Chi, you're the most useless one!
Next up, the Ten Punishments Treasure Chest!

The treasure chest was opened, and in an instant, a dazzling golden light burst forth, stinging Ye Mingqiu's eyes. However, he endured the pain and carefully examined the situation.

Congratulations on obtaining: Phoenix's Fiery Feather

Phoenix's Fire Feathers
Type: Disposable consumable
Effect: This item will automatically trigger upon receiving fatal damage. The Phoenix's fiery feathers will unleash [Primal Divine Power] to ignite the host, reshaping their body in the flames and restoring them to their full state, while also granting the [Rebirth from the Ashes] buff.

【Rebirth from the Ashes】: Increases health/psychic energy regeneration speed by 50% and all attributes by 30%. This effect will gradually decay and disappear over twenty minutes.

Supplement 1: The Phoenix's flames are extremely intense and can greatly reduce damage. Enemies who come into contact with the Phoenix's flames and cannot resist the flames will be burned to death.

Supplement 2: After being reborn from the ashes, your basic physical potential will permanently increase by 1.

nice one!
A life-saving treasure, a weapon for turning the tide, the value of this item is immeasurable. Ye Mingqiu was quite satisfied. As long as he got this treasure from this batch of items, he wouldn't lose out even if all the other treasure chests were empty.

This is a priceless life-saving item!

Lastly, the Heavenly Martial Treasure Chest!

open!

The golden light flashed again, but this time it was far less bright than before, barely worth mentioning.

Congratulations on obtaining the Divine Martial Cloak!

Note: This can only be used when you have energy with an intensity level of 2.8 or higher.

nice one!
Ye Mingqiu's eyes lit up. Ever since his Iron Feather Cloak was burned away by the Day God, he hadn't had a good cloak. The Divine Martial Cloak could fill this gap and provide a relatively good boost.

The Divine Martial Cloak, as a Radiant Gold-grade equipment, offers decent base attribute boosts, primarily focused on defense. However, its "Immovable as a Mountain" ability reduces movement speed, making it unsuitable for mindless use. The True Martial Great Thunderclap, equipment trait ③, is a divine skill of the Heavenly Martial class, and its strength as an equipment skill is likely to be quite high.

That move was very powerful!

Previously, Ye Mingqiu had lost 20,000 HP from Tianwu's One-Punch Thunderbolt!
Keep in mind that this was Ye Mingqiu's 20,000 HP. He had many defensive buffs, percentage damage reduction, and fixed damage reduction effects. The fact that he could take away 20,000 HP in one hit under these circumstances is enough to prove the strength of the Great Thunderbolt.

More importantly, this move is True Martial Great Thunderclap, not Great Thunderclap. Its strength may even be greater than Great Thunderclap, and it is a unique skill that Tianwu has never used before.

Of course, it wasn't that the Heavenly Martial Saint King didn't want to use it, but rather that he didn't have the opportunity. The control effects under the Bloodthirsty Tyrant form were too deadly, forcing him to defend and preventing him from launching an effective counterattack.

Even with the more powerful True Martial Great Thunderbolt, the Heavenly Martial Saint King had no chance to use it.

"equipment."

Ye Mingqiu put on the Divine Martial Cloak, and an even stronger power surged from his body, causing a smile to appear on his face.

Now, he felt incredibly resilient. Under these circumstances, he should even have the power to contend with the true god of fire. After all, he had inscribed nine [Fire's Mourning] spells—nine fire resistance spells! He was directly targeting the god of fire to the death!

However, a god is still a god. Even with so many buffs, one cannot be careless when challenging him. It is better to continue learning and researching more methods and strategies to counter the god of fire in order to challenge him more effectively.

After all, his current strength at full power is only at the level of a God of Authority. When fighting the God of Fire, he basically relies on the effect of attribute restraint, and the more restraint he has, the better.
