534: Imperial Capital

"I didn't expect that the Eye Technique combined with the Holy Mother Sect's exclusive specially-made potion would have such a good effect."

Chen De looked at Mao Deng, who was motionless before him. At this moment, he was still in the posture from when the two sides had officially exchanged blows.

At the very beginning, Chen De fully activated his Eye Technique and stared deeply at Mao Deng.

Afterward, he used the Myriad Beast Blade, which was coated with the special potion, looking for an opportunity to let it enter Mao Deng's body.

The effect of the potion was to weaken and disrupt Mao Deng's spirit to a certain extent, and to amplify the power of the Eye Technique.

Now it seemed that the special potion he had concocted was indeed effective.

Look at Mao Deng, completely still. Chen De looked at him a few times, cut off a few pieces of flesh, and there was no reaction at all.

However, there was still a gap in cultivation between the two sides, so it wasn't enough to control him.

Of course, if he really wanted to control him, Chen De had ways, but it wasn't necessary.

He used the Myriad Beast Blade to cut an opening in Mao Deng's neck, and then used his power to restrict it, preventing the magic armor from continuing to cover it.

After all, magic armor was also a form of energy body; there was no such thing as damage or non-damage.

For example, the place Chen De had cut earlier had already automatically recovered to its original state.

Then, he made a moderately sized incision in the main artery... Gold Rank peak!

Platinum Rank Stage One!

Platinum Rank Stage Two!

Platinum Rank Stage Three!

At the same time, the Sacred Origin System advanced from the middle stage of the Profound Realm to the late stage of the Profound Realm.

With his current strength, he could easily crush someone like Mao Deng in a direct confrontation.

In terms of combat power, it was roughly equivalent to a full major realm, capable of matching a Magic Armor Master of Diamond Rank Stage Three to Stage Four.

There was no other way; every system was like this. The further one progressed, the harder it became to fight above one's rank.

According to calculations, the Sacred Origin System would likely need to reach the Earth Realm to rival a King Rank existence.

When he cultivated to the Profound Realm Grand Completion and Diamond peak, he would probably be able to reach Half-Step King or barely King-level.

The resources needed for this step would not be small; at least King-level resources would be required to assist.

And this could only be satisfied in the Imperial Capital.

There were a large number of Diamonds there that could provide assistance, or he could directly deal with a King.

He already had a clear plan for the next step.

Ignoring the dried corpse under his feet, Chen De stepped over it and walked in a certain direction... towards the Imperial Capital.

The carriage carrying the Princess arrived on time, and the wedding with the Grand General's grandson was successfully completed.

After hearing Shi Xuan's feedback, neither side reacted or got angry.

The Princess, upon her return, also did not cry or show any signs of fear.

Instead, she amicably and happily held the grand wedding successfully.

If those unaware of the inside story were present, they would have thought nothing had happened.

During this grand wedding, the Emperor, who had been in seclusion for many years, appeared, but only spoke a few simple words before handing over the authority to preside over the wedding to the Regent King.

During this period, the father and son were loving, not discussing state affairs, but rather exchanging warm greetings.

Many ministers still didn't understand what the Emperor meant; he neither abdicated nor showed any interest in power.

In fact, someone like him could completely become a Retired Emperor, as there was no difference to him between the two.

This way, the new emperor's ascension would inevitably lead to a significant promotion of ministers.

And their positions, naturally, could move up a notch.

Of course, the Regent King didn't say these words, and these ministers dared not ask.

But one thing was certain: the Grand General's Residence was almost firmly tied to the Regent King's chariot.

It was almost common knowledge throughout the land. Even if he himself didn't think so, others did.

Anyone who wanted to oppose the Regent King in the future would first have to consider the King Rank Magic Armor Master in the Grand General's Residence.

After the wedding, the incident of the Princess being ambushed on the road was not reported to the Emperor.

Because even if it was told, he wouldn't care. Of course, that wasn't the most crucial point; the key was that the Regent King didn't intend to report it to the Emperor.

All those in the court and throughout the land were his people, and those sent out were also his people. If he didn't want it reported, naturally no one would report it.

So, after it ended, the Emperor returned to his deep palace to continue his seclusion.

"I can't discern his depth!"

After the Emperor left, Grand General Lin Zhen, who was sitting beside the Regent King, suddenly spoke.

"You are King Rank, and even you can't discern his depth?" The Regent King had no doubts about Lin Zhen's words, but still asked.

"The gap between each stage of the King Rank is much greater than that of the Diamond Rank. This old man is currently King Rank Stage Two, but in the hands of a Stage Three, I'm afraid I wouldn't last more than a few moves."

"His Majesty's realm is likely far above this old man's, at least at the level of King Rank Stage Four or even Stage Five."

Lin Zhen patiently explained. In reality, besides the estimation of the Emperor's strength, the Regent King could figure out other things on his own.

Don't look at the Regent King not being King Rank yet; with the support of the imperial family,

he possessed a considerable amount of King Rank knowledge, and was probably only a step away from becoming a King.

However, Lin Zhen did not ask this question.

Because he knew that with the Regent King's accumulation, if he wanted to, he could have already entered the King Rank.

The reason he hadn't done so yet must be due to his own plans.

After roughly guessing a little about the Emperor's background, the two quickly moved past this topic.

Next, they were to discuss the incident of the Princess being ambushed on the road.

This matter could be considered big or small, as only one Diamond had made a move.

But to put it broadly, the one who attacked was a Giant. Why did he attack? Was it the Giants making a comeback, or some other reason?

But Mao Deng hadn't returned yet. If they couldn't catch him, then so be it.

In the current situation, there was a high probability that he had met with misfortune.

However, today was the wedding day, so it was not appropriate to directly question the Princess. They would have to wait until today passed.

Therefore, they summoned Shi Xuan and some trusted aides who had been sent to escort them, to understand the details of what happened.

With such a major incident, it was impossible to ignore it; there had to be a resolution.

Currently, the news hadn't spread, but in a few days, the entire Imperial Capital would know.

After a while longer, not only the Imperial Capital, but probably the entire world would know... Chen De walked into the Imperial Capital, and its magnificent appearance still seemed quite ordinary in his eyes.

After all, no matter how majestic a building was, could it be more majestic than the Supreme Holy Mother Palace of the Holy Mother Sect?

However, there were far more powerful individuals in the Imperial Capital than in other places, such as the Bronze Rank experts who could dominate the city he first arrived in.

Just while entering the Imperial Capital's main gate, he had already encountered at least five.

Here, Chen De could definitely break through to the Earth Realm and even the Heaven Realm, and Magic Armor Masters could definitely break through to the King Rank and even the Legendary Rank.
