"So this was the Dao of Fortune!"
At that moment, Li Chen gained an even deeper appreciation of the formidable power of the Great Qian Dynasty's Dao of Fortune.
He had personally experienced the suppression emanating from the Sacred Spirit Grand Formation within the Sacred Capital City. The Four Great Sacred Spirits and myriad divine generals had not appeared, but a mere trace of the aura stirred by the Imperial Edict had cast a shadow of invincibility over the mind of even a Nascent Soul Realm expert like him.
