"Divine Artifact?" Pei Yan, who felt imnse pressure as the sword erged, was astonished at the ntion. He had heard of such legendary weapons across different realms, possessing spirituality and self-awareness. Apart from the rumors of the Divine Desire Night Raid investigation at the headquarters, the first ti he encountered such an item was during the battle to capture Lin Junzhao. Even the once invincible Lin Junzhao had to seek refuge within himself amidst attacks from masters wielding Divine Artifacts.
This Sword Stand Man actually can wield a Divine Artifact?
"Don't listen to his nonsense, how shaful to be deceived by sothing you've never seen! If it were a real Divine Artifact, could a re Reincarnation Realm cultivator wield it?" shouted Lin Junzhao within Pei Yan's mind, extrely displeased.
Pei Yan was stunned and quickly asked, "Isn't this a Divine Artifact?"
"Of course, it's not a Divine Artifact, but it's close!"
Initially, Pei Yan was overjoyed upon hearing the first half of the sentence, but felt choked upon hearing the latter half, helplessly saying, "That's not helpful at all!"
"How is that not helpful! This thing is indeed not a Divine Artifact. Do you know how many outstanding craftsn and precious materials it takes, under the right ti, place, people, and the favor of destiny, to give birth to a Divine Artifact? Even the essence can only slightly intervene, but cannot determine the outco! It embodies the principles of the Great Dao!"
Using Pei Yan's eyes, Lin Junzhao glanced at the long sword and continued, "And that's not all. A newly crafted Divine Artifact is just a prototype. After that, soone with great perseverance must nurture it painstakingly. After enduring hundreds of years without damage in battles, it cultivates its own Artifact Spirit and consciousness, only then can it be called a Divine Artifact."
Lin Junzhao paused here, regretfully saying, "As for this weapon, it's a pity! The person who crafted it had too limited a vision. Although the materials and craftsn are top-notch, this was clearly imitating another already-ford Divine Artifact. In your terms, it's a high imitation. But even though it's a copy, don't underestimate it. This item must have been nurtured beside the true Divine Artifact for many years and has achieved seven-tenths of its essence. I assu Celestial Sword Manor crafted it to save ti and boost their own strength."
This words not only dispelled Pei Yan's concerns but also ignited his fighting spirit. A high imitation Divine Artifact is perfect to sharpen his dull blade, dormant for four years.
With this resolve, Pei Yan wasted no ti and imdiately initiated a limit breakthrough, enhancing tenfold. A large amount of composite materials surged around him, forming multiple defense layers upon any danger, while nurous space light curtains stood prepared, and electromagnetic force fields protected his entire body, just waiting for the opponent's final strike.
anwhile, Sword Stand Man's aura continued to rise until it reached its peak. With external assistance, he forcibly broke his limit, temporarily stepping from the human realm into Asura Dao realm. Feeling the surging Spiritual Qi within and the connection resonating with the Divine Artifact hovering above him, Sword Stand Man felt invincible at this mont, confident even if Pei Yan were ten tis stronger, he could still win.
"Yiyun, enough. Take the fellow disciples aside and rest. Rember to stay far away; soon, all buildings around here will be caught up in my attack!"
Seeing Sword Stand Man now exhaling Spiritual Qi that transford into Sword Qi, Yu Yiyun, whose Spiritual Qi was almost exhausted, knew staying would be of no help. After a caution, he swiftly withdrew with Celestial Sword Manor's other disciples, leaving this troubled place.
"Fellow Daoists, will you continue to stand idle? If this move is successfully executed, its power will be imnse; quickly follow outside the pavilion to set up formations!" With an elderly voice echoing from a tower, a white-haired, immortal-like elder floated out. Under his call, more people ca out from various courtyards, with eight standing around Yirong Pavilion, raising their arms to form Spirit Qi walls that encircled the compound.
Once completed, Sword Stand Man within the courtyard unleashed his long-prepared ultimate strike. Contrary to the crowd's expectations, he did not use the Divine Artifact directly. After a sword hum echoed, the short sword in the air released countless radiances, with innurable intertwined Sword Qi injecting into Sword Stand Man. The short sword's luster dimd slightly while it vanished into the void.
"Young Master Pei!" Sword Stand Man, enduring the agony of condensing the myriad Sword Qi in his body into a single one, roared loudly with a hideous expression.
"Present!"
"If, unfortunately, we both perish in this battle, I want you to know under which sword you died!"
Pei Yan, eyes wide open and filled with eagerness, loudly responded, "Please tell!"
"This sword's na is Fish Guts!"
With the words spoken, Sword Stand Man raised his right arm, rging all Sword Qi at his fingertips, and charged towards Pei Yan in a beam of sword light.
He truly wields himself as a sword!
"A good sword!" Without any mockery, full of genuine admiration, as six layers of light curtains appeared between the two.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Six light curtains eting the sword's montum failed to halt its advance. The sword light flashed between the six curtains, shattering six spaces in succession, with twisted air from the broken spaces combining materials crafted with cutting-edge technology, forming impregnable defense walls.
With successive booms, each ti a defense wall was breached by the sword light, a large gap appeared, resulting in rupture. However, this was not a futile effort; every broken wall diminished Sword Stand Man's montum and depleted the sword qi slightly. After six walls were breached, his advance was forcibly halted.
The shattered fingers pressed against Pei Yan's chest, blood dripping from his cha onto the ground, and looking at the barely standing Sword Stand Man with determined eyes filled with fighting spirit, Pei Yan's respect for this supposed enemy opponent grew, genuinely praising, "To break through the top-level synthetics of the real realm, you can be truly proud!"
"It's not over!" Sword Stand Man grinned, marking a symbol with his broken fingers on Pei Yan's chest. As soon as he spoke, the Fish Guts Sword, previously hidden in the air, reappeared, turning into a stream of light heading toward Pei Yan's chest.
Seasoned in countless battles, Pei Yan had noticed this minor action from the opponent. Feeling securely locked in, he did not panic, gently moving his fingers while staring at Sword Stand Man's unwavering eyes ahead, word by word saying, "Having your strongest move, I too shall reciprocate with courtesy!"
