255: Chapter 255 Epic Critical Strike!

The cheers from the Great Xia Imperial Palace were like surging ocean tides, washing over the towering palace walls wave after wave.

Xu Chen comforted Princess Wu Weiyang, who was crying and laughing with excitement, and then tucked in the edges of Wu Mingkong's cloak. After instructing them to rest well, he turned and went alone to the Star-Gazing Pavilion at the highest point of the Bedchamber.

The early morning wind carried a hint of coolness, but it could not disperse the excitement burning like fire in the depths of Xu Chen's eyes.

Ding.

Host has successfully conquered the Great Xia founding Empress, Wu Mingkong, and caused her to conceive a Mythical-grade offspring. Wu Mingkong possesses the Eternal Emperor Fate.

Ding. Host has successfully conquered the Great Xia Princess, Princess Wu Weiyang, and caused her to conceive a Mythical-grade offspring.

Ding. Detected that the two female leads share the same Bloodline and have a very deep bond; triggering hidden bond reward stacking.

Many Children, Many Blessings Epic Critical Hit settlement is officially beginning.

As the System's voice fell, Xu Chen felt an unprecedented and vast power directly ignore the distance of space and the Law of heaven and earth. Like the Nine Heavens' Silver River pouring down, it crudely rushed into his limbs and bones.

Rumble.

Under the impact of this terrifying power, the Middle Stage Saint cultivation barrier within Xu Chen's body, which was already as perfect as one, couldn't even hold out for half a breath before it shattered like paper.

Late-stage Saint.

The Breakthrough process did not trigger any world-shaking Lightning Tribulation because this power was the power of Origin forcibly infused by the System; the Heavenly Dao didn't even have the qualification to sense it.

Xu Chen closed his eyes, quietly feeling the Spiritual Qi rolling inside him like a vast ocean.

Every cell of the Hongmeng Origin Body greedily devoured this power. His bones emitted a brilliant purple-gold light, and his Meridians were widened more than several times over.

Late-stage Saint—though it was only a difference of one stage, for someone like him with a top-tier Physique and supreme combat power, the increase in strength exploded geometrically.

Now, even without borrowing any external force, relying solely on his Physical Body and Spiritual Qi, he was absolutely certain he could punch the previous Da Chu Dynasty's Half-Step Emperor Old Ancestor into a pulp.

This kind of solid, invincible power held in one's hands was the most intoxicating thing.

However, this was merely the appetizer of the System's critical hit settlement.

Ding. Host's cultivation Breakthrough settlement is complete.

Ding. Detected that the host's Bloodline is about to take root in the Eastern Wasteland Continent; Family Luck is skyrocketing.

Reward issued: One Imperial Luck Golden Dragon.

Reward issued: Formation Mastery.

Xu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

At the very moment the System notification sounded, the firmament above the Nine Heavens suddenly rolled violently. The originally clear sky was instantly dyed a most noble purple-gold color.

Roar!

A majestic dragon roar, seemingly from the ancient primordial era, boomed across the entire Eastern Wasteland Continent's sky.

This sound carried no Killing Intent, yet it exuded a supreme imperial majesty that made all living beings feel an urge to prostrate themselves in worship.

The commoners and officials of the Great Xia Imperial Capital had just been cheering for the pregnancy of the two masters, but now they were all stunned into a daze by this sudden heavenly phenomenon.

Wu Mingkong and Princess Wu Weiyang couldn't be bothered to rest and hurriedly walked out of the Bedchamber, supported by palace maids.

When they looked up and saw the suffocating scene in the sky, both the Empress's phoenix eyes and the Princess's peach blossom eyes widened into circles.

Amidst the purple-gold clouds filling the sky, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, ten thousand zhang long, was churning through the clouds and rain.

Its entire body was condensed from the purest Imperial Luck. Every dragon scale shimmered with dazzling divine radiance, and its two dragon whiskers hung down from the clouds as if they could stabilize the universe of this world.

This was the true manifestation of Luck.

Since ancient times, only those supreme Divine Dynasties that ruled over several great worlds could possibly condense a faint, blurry dragon shadow of Luck during their period of extreme prosperity.

But a ten-thousand-zhang Imperial Luck Golden Dragon as lifelike and solid as this was an unheard-of miracle, let alone in the Eastern Wasteland, even among the ancient Imperial Families in the Middle Province that had been passed down for tens of millions of years.

This represented the Mandate of Heaven. It meant that this Family and this Imperial Dynasty would possess a truly eternal and indestructible Foundation.

After the Golden Dragon circled the Nine Heavens three times, its massive golden dragon eyes accurately locked onto the white-robed Xu Chen on the Star-Gazing Pavilion.

It let out a joyful low roar, and its massive body suddenly dived down.

The moment it was about to touch Xu Chen, the ten-thousand-zhang golden dragon instantly transformed into a piercing purple-gold divine light and entered directly into the space between Xu Chen's eyebrows.

Xu Chen felt a slight warmth at his brow, and a mysterious space filled with purple mist suddenly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. That Imperial Luck Golden Dragon was coiled in the center of the space, lazily dozing off.

As the Golden Dragon entered his body, the Great Xia Dynasty's national fortune, which had been somewhat withered due to successive turmoils, began to skyrocket like dry wood meeting a raging fire.

The Spiritual Veins deep beneath the Imperial Capital began to revive, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the world became denser at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Even many Great Xia Cultivators, who had been stuck at a Bottleneck for years, suddenly had an Epiphany at this moment and broke through their cultivation on the spot.

“God bless Great Xia! God bless my Xu Family Bloodline!”

Looking at the figure on the Star-Gazing Pavilion that looked like a descending deity, Wu Mingkong's tears fell once again.

Princess Wu Weiyang gripped Wu Mingkong's sleeve tightly, her small face flushed with excitement.

“Ancestor, did you see that? Great-Grandfather sucked the dragon in! Great-Grandfather is simply too handsome!”

Standing on the Star-Gazing Pavilion, Xu Chen felt the earth-shaking changes within his body, and a satisfied curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This wave of Many Children, Many Blessings rewards was indeed an epic burst.

Not only did his cultivation step into the Late-stage Saint realm, but he also obtained this priceless Imperial Luck Golden Dragon.

With this Golden Dragon suppressing their Luck, Xu Chen's descendants, even if they were profligate sons who did nothing, would be able to find Divine Artifacts just by stepping out the door and have an Epiphany while sleeping.

Xu Chen turned around, leaped down from the Star-Gazing Pavilion, and landed steadily in front of Wu Mingkong and Princess Wu Weiyang.

Seeing their eyes filled with extreme admiration, he reached out and pinched Princess Wu Weiyang's rosy cheek.

“Alright, don't look at me like that. If such a small scene shocks you, if you ever see the true grandeur of my Xu Family in the future, you won't be able to close your mouths all day.”

Xu Chen teased half-jokingly, and then his expression became serious.

“Mingkong, Weiyang. There's something I need to tell you.”

Hearing the solemnity in Xu Chen's tone, the excitement on the two women's faces gradually faded, and they stood up straight obediently.

“Husband, has something happened?” Wu Mingkong asked softly.

Looking at their slightly bulging bellies, where the curve was not yet visible, a trace of apology flashed in Xu Chen's eyes, but his tone was very firm.

“I need to leave the Great Xia Dynasty for a while and return to the Xu Family.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Wu Mingkong and Princess Wu Weiyang changed simultaneously. Especially Princess Wu Weiyang, whose eyes instantly turned red as she gripped Xu Chen's sleeve tightly, refusing to let go.

“Great-Grandfather, do you not want us and the baby anymore? Did we do something wrong?”

Seeing the little girl's pitiful appearance, Xu Chen felt a pang of heartache and quickly pulled her into his arms to comfort her gently.

“What nonsense are you thinking? You are great contributors; I can't cherish you enough, so how could I not want you?”

Xu Chen gently patted Princess Wu Weiyang's back, turned to look at the slightly frowning Wu Mingkong, and explained.

“Great Xia is far too distant from the territory where my Xu Family is located. Usually, it wouldn't matter, but now that you are carrying my offspring, this is a top priority for my Xu Family. I must establish a Cross-realm Teleportation Formation in the palace that can connect directly to the Xu Family Ancestral Land. This will make it convenient for the Family's people to come and look after you at any time, and also for me to return and see you whenever I want.”

Xu Chen sighed, “However, constructing that level of Cross-realm Teleportation Formation requires an extremely rare core material called a void divine stone. I've already checked the Great Xia treasury, and there is no such thing. It can only be found in my Xu Family treasury.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingkong's worries instantly vanished into thin air.

So it turned out that her husband was personally making the trip back for the sake of them and their children.

She was an Empress who understood the big picture and naturally knew the importance of a Cross-realm Teleportation Formation for maintaining the relationship between Great Xia and the Xu Family.

“Husband, the journey is long, so please be very careful. Weiyang and I will stay here, give birth to the children safely, and wait for your return.”

Wu Mingkong stepped forward and took the initiative to straighten Xu Chen's collar, her eyes filled with deep reluctance.

Looking at these two obedient and sensible women, the tenderness in Xu Chen's heart almost overflowed.

“Don't worry, it's just building a teleportation formation; it won't take too long. When I return, I'll bring you the best divine prenatal medicine from our Xu Family.”
