Chaos Divine Artifact, various races gather.
As the soon-to-be-appointed city lord of Chaos Emperor City, Chen Chu naturally wouldn't appear with cultivation that was "too low," allowing the true spirit level experts guarding the city to look down on him and then retaliate angrily.
Therefore, when entering the Star River Passage, he released a wisp of power aura belonging to the true form of the primordial demon god.
"Newly appointed Chaos City Lord!"
Looking at the extremely noble young man in front of them, the five cultivators in black battle armor all straightened their expressions and respectfully greeted, "Commander Dantai Yihui of the Fifth Legion of the Black Armored Forbidden Army."
"Deputy Commander Jifengyi of the Fifth Legion... greetings, City Lord."
Seeing the four individuals radiating the aura of ancient peak and mid-ancient stage cultivators, Chen Chu slightly nodded, "You don't need to stand on ceremony, please proceed to the City Lord's Palace."
"Understood." Dantai Yihui nodded solemnly.
Due to Chen Chu's half-step primordial cultivation level, along with Shirou leading the way, these individuals did not question Chen Chu's identity.
However, acknowledging it wasn't enough; there were still some procedures to follow, such as activating the city spirit control in the City Lord's Palace and verifying the true sovereign's decree.
Just as the group was about to turn and lead the way, Chen Chu's aura slightly fluctuated.
Instantly, a look of astonishment flashed across the faces of the individuals present, including Shirou, as in that brief moment, they keenly sensed that Chen Chu's aura had strengthened a bit.
Noticing the change in their expressions, Chen Chu slowly said, "This 'universe' has a special nature that resonates with me, so my strength has slightly improved."
Of course, the real situation was that the evolutionary energy feedback from the End of Days Imperial Dragon was strengthening Chen Chu's physical body.
Due to the outwardly released primordial aura, the surging vitality and power fluctuations from the body refinement also emitted imperceptible ripples.
Truly impressive, Chen Da-ge crossed from extraordinary to true spirit in just two years; his talent was astonishing. A hint of admiration appeared in Shirou's eyes.
As for Dantai Yihui and the others, although they didn't know Chen Chu well, they were still stunned by his comprehension that seemed to enhance his strength with every casual movement.
This new city lord seemed a bit terrifying.
The city gate of Chaos Emperor City was quite different from traditional ones; it was a white light curtain with a diameter of a hundred kilometers and a height of a thousand kilometers, opening up in the urban area.
Or rather, it was a solid small world passage.
As Chen Chu and Shirou passed through the light curtain, a pure white eye slowly opened deep within the light, its invisible gaze sweeping over them.
Upon seeing that their true forms and wills were 'human,' that eye closed again.
At that moment, as the invisible gaze swept past, Chen Chu sensed it and slightly raised his head to look at the passage above, which seemed to cross in an instant yet spanned a thousand miles.
In Chen Chu's eyes, a pair of Black-Golden Vertical Eyes appeared, and simultaneously, a silver eye opened on his forehead.
With the Void Death Eye combined with the True Insight Eye, Chen Chu's gaze pierced through layers of time and space, seeing a space filled with white light and a white behemoth lying across the void, measuring over a hundred thousand meters in length.
A true spirit peak exotic beast with monitoring aptitude?
Even a primordial disguise would reveal some traces against this level of strength; nothing below primordial could escape detection. The guards were doing well.
Chen Chu nodded inwardly, his heavy eyes disappearing as the scene before him changed to a prosperous city filled with ancient charm.
However, unlike the ancient cities of Blue Star, this city stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers, encompassing countless mountains and rivers.
