The Xuanyuan Sword is indeed an Ancient Divine Artifact!
Moreover, it's a weapon with an Artifact Spirit that autonomously chooses its master!
Normal weapons are selected by people, picking the best-fit from thousands.
But the Xuanyuan Sword is entirely different!
It chose Lin Fan from billions of people.
Once it recognizes its master, unless Lin Fan dies, it will never betray and never beco soone else's weapon.
Moreover.
It also devoured the Artifact Spirits of the Cloud Shadow Sword and Black Sword, becoming even more loyal.
Those two are also Ancient Divine Artifacts, although not as remarkable as the Xuanyuan Sword, they're extrely rare.
So being able to absorb such Artifact Spirits makes the Xuanyuan Sword very satisfied, and even less likely to leave Lin Fan.
Because with other masters, it probably wouldn't receive such treatnt.
Being willing to offer the Artifact Spirit of an Ancient Divine Artifact to it is certainly extrely generous!
It's like a couple fully devoted to each other, that's true love!
Therefore.
Even if Lin Fan says he wants to gift the Xuanyuan Sword to Zhu Qilue, his words are aningless as the Xuanyuan Sword doesn't want to accompany Zhu Qilue, naturally suppressing him.
His words don't count. The decision of the Artifact Spirit does.
"My neck... my... I can't breathe... what... what's going on... am I... am I being crushed under... a billion mountains? Quick... save ..."
Zhu Qilue caught a glimpse of Lin Fan gloating happily on the side, fuelled with anger. But now, the only person who could save him was Lin Fan, so he could only extend his hand, pleading for help.
"Didn't you want the Xuanyuan Sword? I've given it to you." Lin Fan said with a grin.
"You... you're damn... you're ssing with ?"
"I'm not ssing with you, I did give you the Xuanyuan Sword, didn't I? You should cherish it, I'm leaving now."
"Hey! Co... co back!"
Seeing Lin Fan really turn to leave, Zhu Qilue was scared out of his wits; if it continued pressing down, he would truly suffocate!
How could such a small sword be so heavy?!
Unexpectedly, it pinned him down, unable to move or breathe, what is this made of?!
"I... I... I don't want it... you... take it away, quick! I don't want it!"
There's no other option.
Zhu Qilue could only painfully return the already acquired Xuanyuan Sword to Lin Fan.
What else could he do?!
He couldn't carry it himself, pinned helplessly to the ground, even facing life-threatening danger; returning it was the only choice!
"Returning to ? You don't want it anymore?"
Lin Fan seed to be waiting for this mont, paused in his tracks, turned around with a raised eyebrow and smiled.
"Take it away, take it away! Don't be polite, hurry up and take it away! If you don't, I'll die right here!"
"Who was it before that eagerly wanted to snatch my thing? How co now, rushing to return it once you got it?"
Zhu Qilue was filled with anger, his face flushed, overwheld with sha.
Indeed, he was obsessed just monts ago, wanting to seize Lin Fan's Divine Artifact.
Little did he expect to end up in such an embarrassing state.
Apparently, this Xuanyuan Sword isn't sothing anyone can possess. Whoever it chooses, it belongs to them, and can't be taken away.
"Alright, Lin Fan! You damn knew it all along, so you were just ssing with !"
"Yes."
Lin Fan admitted without hesitation, with no trace of guilt on his face.
"Fine... I accept my loss! I was wrong! I shouldn't have coveted your thing, I apologize alright! Quickly take it back, it feels like this thing is sinking! Otherwise, I'll be buried alive!"
Hearing Zhu Qilue's plea, Lin Fan shrugged, reluctantly walked over and nonchalantly picked up the Xuanyuan Sword, letting Zhu Qilue off the hook.
Zhu Qilue held his neck, his face twisted with pain. Just as he was about to try standing, he saw the Xuanyuan Sword extended towards him.
"How is it, still want it?" Looking up at Lin Fan's grinning face, he was infuriated.
"Get lost!"
Having eliminated the pursuing Blood Demon Wolf, Lin Fan and Zhu Qilue were temporarily safe.
But they weren't entirely out of danger.
No longer threatened by the Blood Demon Wolf, yet the Scarlet Cloud Army might soon catch up with them.
The explosion earlier was quite earth-shattering, Gong Wenya couldn't have missed noticing it.
It practically served as a signal.
Telling Gong Wenya their location.
Therefore.
This spot shouldn't be lingered at, they must leave imdiately.
The two continued advancing in the direction Divine Phoenix and Zhu Ruoling had gone.
Zhu Qilue, still upset from being outplayed by Lin Fan, maintained silence along the way, eyes blazing with anger.
Lin Fan, however, felt at ease, whistling, carefreely delighting over the success of his prank.
Suddenly!
Zhu Qilue halted, glaring fiercely at Lin Fan.
"Why are you staring at like that, I haven't done anything to provoke you." Lin Fan said pouting.
"The Five Elents Realm actually possesses an Ancient Divine Artifact too!" Zhu Qilue gritted his teeth, still resentful and unwilling about being suppressed by the Xuanyuan Sword earlier.
"Oh?" Lin Fan, unsure if Zhu Qilue was serious or not.
"But it's rely a legend, supposedly hidden in a cave. Once that artifact appears, all weapons will pale in comparison, even having their Artifact Souls taken!" Zhu Qilue stated with determination, his eyes twitching intensely. "I will definitely obtain that artifact and then surpass your Xuanyuan Sword!"
Lin Fan laughed, Zhu Qilue seed like a child, obsessed with competing over such things.
For weapons, it's about being handy and suitable!
When weapons and people are compatible, they can showcase imnse power. One plus one becos greater than two!
But if weapons and people don't match, forcing them together results in harm. One plus one becos less than two, even less than one!
Thus.
Forcing a weapon to suit oneself is impossible.
These Ancient Divine Artifacts possess their own Artifact Souls, lacking compatibility with their Artifact Souls ans they aren't ant to be, and it's naturally impossible to wield it.
Forcing compatibility might lead to the weapon controlling the individual instead!
Such a scenario is even more fearso than falling into the Demon Path!
A living person reduced to a weapon's slave, becoming a soulless tool, such a prospect is horrifying.
"Zhu Qilue, you should not force this matter. What is yours is yours, what isn't will never be, no matter how much you strive."
But these words fell on deaf ears for Zhu Qilue.
He had beco deeply consud by jealousy.
"I will definitely find that artifact, I will!" Zhu Qilue shot a glance at Lin Fan, speaking earnestly.
Lin Fan let out a long sigh, shaking his head helplessly.
"Alright, stop dwelling on this. Where have Divine Phoenix and Zhu Ruoling gone, not even a trace, they should have seen the explosion earlier, why are they nowhere in sight?"
However, Zhu Qilue remained silent, muttering under his breath, entranced, striding forward.
Lin Fan could only follow in frustration.
