Chapter 285: Rank Two Divine Grade

Time did not stop and flowed on like a relentless river. Before anyone knew it, seven hours had passed by.

The light from the fallen sun dimmed greatly and the fire Qi that erupted from it in great jets stopped. The strong molten flames that danced around it were absorbed into one entity. It was like a small gem of crimson and yellow.

Another object appeared from the ripples of space. It was translucent like pure diamond and had many faces that one could not count them. Each face displayed a certain place in the world. It was the legendary artifact of the Vermillion Bird Race's Sleid Imperial Family – the Vermillion Sacred Prism.

The Vermillion Sacred Prism flew around in many loops before flying towards Lu Zheng. The small gem of crimson and yellow followed it.

Lu Zheng was still closing his eyes and cultivating. He could not sense what was happening around him.

After some time, Lu Zheng finally opened his eyes and looked around. He was surprised to see that the space around him had darkened like it was night. Only the light from the fiery beasts that danced around him and the small gem of crimson and yellow shone in the space.

Even so, he could still see properly.

The fire path Yi clansmen moved towards Lu Zheng. The strong fire from the fallen sun was already gone and they could move unhindered.

"Thank you" The Yi clansmen bowed their heads deeply.

Lu Zheng was surprised: "What do you…?"

"During your cultivation, the secrets of fire path seemed to emanate from your body. We have improved our fire path attainment thanks to you" A Yi clansman interrupted Lu Zheng.

"I understand" Lu Zheng nodded and gazed at the Vermillion Sacred Prism.

The Vermillion Sacred Prism flew around happily, like it had won the lottery.

"What is the matter?" Lu Zheng transmitted his voice to it.

"What's the matter? Only that I have finally regained my strength! You can no longer insult me as a mere Immortal Grade artifact that you can toy around with. I am now a rank two Divine Grade artifact! Hehehe, bow before me and pay your respects! The strength I wield is greater than your wildest dreams. Kowtow! Bow! Pay homage to me!"

Lu Zheng shook his head at the words of the Vermillion Sacred Prism. He was truly glad.

The Vermillion Sacred Prism was originally a rank four Heavenly Grade artifact but when Darmian fought Nuwa, it was damaged and fell to rank three Immortal Grade. It lost many of its abilities.

Now, after absorbing the fire energy within the rank nine Profound Flame Crystal, it had recovered slightly and was now a rank two Divine Grade artifact.

"A Divine Grade artifact!" Alaka'i's senses were keen and he easily noticed the strange aura that the Vermillion Sacred Prism radiated.

An Yin and the others were stunned: "Impossible! Divine Grade artifacts can only be refined by Great Grandmaster artificers. Such existences are as rare as the feathers of a phoenix!"

Lu Zheng smiled faintly and gazed at Alaka'i: "Your senses are very keen. This is my Divine Grade artifact, the Vermillion Sacred Prism of the Vermillion Bird Race"

"Vermillion Bird Race!" Everyone gasped in surprise. There was no one that did not know that Vermillion Bird Race in the main word.

The Vermillion Bird Race was one of the Four Regal Bloodlines and the strongest race in the world. One of their experts could easily fight seven other experts with similar cultivation bases.

"The human race, Black Feather Race and the White Feather Race worked together to exile the Vermillion Bird Race to Northern Desert. How is an artifact of their race here?" Yi Tong Qu asked.

Lu Zheng smiled and did not reply. Instead, he transmitted his voice to the Vermillion Sacred Prism.

"Open a spatial door to the inheritance space"

"Hmm. Take this gem, it is the condensation of the molten fire of the fallen sun. It will increase your bloodline purity"

Lu Zheng was pleasantly surprised and teased: "To think you can also show kindness. Perhaps I should look for ways to restore your strength"

"Hmph! How can I, a Divine Grade artifact, be owned by a mere Acquisition realm expert? If anyone was to hear of this, I will be a laughing stock. Also, you helped me restore by strength. I cannot bear to owe any human a favour, most especially you. My pride will not allow it. Hmph!"

The Vermillion Sacred Prism snorted and flew to a certain spot. Space Qi formed around it and the rules of the world were twisted. A door of white formed below it.

When the door formed, the Vermillion Sacred Prism flew into Lu Zheng's spatial ring to rest.

Lu Zheng shook his head and stored the gem of crimson and yellow in his spatial ring. He walked into the spatial door created by the Vermillion Sacred Prism.

The other martial warriors did not hesitate to follow him.

Space hummed as they appeared on the other side of the spatial door. The spatial door dimmed greatly before breaking into thousands of shards that dissipated into nothingness.

"What is this?" An Yin asked Lu Zheng as he stared at the weird contortion of space before them.
