The announcent on Tie Family Island stated that New Opening Island would soon be shrouded in clouds, causing everyone in the Skeleton Sect to beco extrely tense. They had been preparing for this mont for a long ti, and finally, the day they couldn’t avoid had arrived.
At this ti, the Skeleton Sect had no way out. Even if they wanted to evacuate New Opening Island, it was already too late. Tie Hualong and the Tie Family would surely want all of their lives, because now the Tie Family was not just trying to reclaim New Opening Island; what they wanted was the formula for planting Crimson Fla Bodhi on Skull Island.
If they won this battle against the Tie Family, it would an that the Skeleton Sect would firmly establish its foothold in the Tianmu Sea. They would be able to cultivate the best quality Crimson Fla Bodhi in the entire Tianmu Sea, leading to endless Black Obsidian obtaining, allowing the Skeleton Sect to quickly regain its forr glory, even surpassing their achievents in the Great Python Mountain of the Northern Wastelands.
However, every advantage cos with its disadvantages. If the Skeleton Sect lost, they would either beco the slaves of the Tie Family, or the entire sect would cease to exist. No matter which outco, it was extrely tragic for the Skeleton Sect.
The Second Elder and others were well aware of this, so they were actively preparing for battle. Before the battle, the Second Elder personally went to Moon Mist Island, bringing a large amount of Black Obsidian, and gifted each elder of the Xu Family ten thousand Black Obsidian in hopes that the Xu Family on Moon Mist Island would stay out of this matter, or at least remain neutral. Without backup for the Tie Family, the battle on New Opening Island might not be unwinnable.
The Fourth Elder went along with the Second Elder to Moon Mist Island, but they parted ways as soon as they arrived. The Fourth Elder also brought a large amount of Black Obsidian, intending to purchase so powerful spiritual dicines that would have miraculous effects in the upcoming battle.
Ding Fan and Wu Qingxia followed them to Moon Mist Island. After consuming dozens of Yuan Multiplying Pills, Ding Fan had successfully advanced to the Second Level of the Divine Realm.
Ding Fan initially thought he had used the most Yuan Multiplying Pills, but to his surprise, Wu Qingxia told him that he had actually used the least. The elders of the Skeleton Sect used several hundred Yuan Multiplying Pills each in order to break through to the Third Stage of the Second Level of the Divine Realm. Ding Fan was left speechless upon hearing this.
When Ding Fan returned from the Daozhen Trade Firm last ti, he brought back over two hundred thousand Black Obsidian. Later, when the Second Elder expanded the herb field, they harvested over six thousand Crimson Fla Bodhi. Wu Qingxia and the Second Elder brought them to the Daozhen Trade Firm, and Madam Yan gave them the full amount of Black Obsidian without deducting a single piece. Thus, they brought back another one hundred eighty thousand Black Obsidian.
In total, it was nearly four hundred thousand Black Obsidian, and in such a short period, they had already used up more than half of it. And that was not all; Ding Fan and the others ca to Moon Mist Island this ti to spend Black Obsidian as well, and they weren’t even sure if what was left would be enough.
Ding Fan’s Giant Axe wasn’t a good weapon, and with the speed of Ding Fan’s True Qi growth, the Giant Axe couldn’t unleash Ding Fan’s martial power. Now, being the strongest martial artist in the Skeleton Sect, he was definitely going to participate in the battle against the Tie Family. So, they secretly ca to Moon Mist Island to buy a suitable weapon for Ding Fan.
The Giant Axe was clearly insufficient. If they could get a fine weapon, Ding Fan’s combat power would definitely increase significantly. The Skeleton Sect might lack other things, but they had plenty of Black Obsidian. With such a resource, they were determined to equip Ding Fan with a fine weapon.
Ding Fan and Wu Qingxia did not visit the Xu Family’s trade firm or the Daozhen Trade Firm on Moon Mist Island; instead, they went to a shop called the "Lin Family Shop." The weapons from Lin Family Shop were famous throughout the Northern Desolation of the Divine Realm, with outlets in every corner of the Northern Wastelands, backed by a huge family.
Other family trade firms in the Northern Wastelands couldn’t open branches in Tianmu Sea, but Lin Family Shop had the capability and had established a branch there. No one knew how they negotiated with Master Daozhen.
Lin Family Shop had many weapons. Many famous weapons in the Northern Wastelands ca from their hands. If Ding Fan wanted a suitable weapon, he naturally had to co to Lin Family Shop.
However, after walking around the Lin Family Shop’s main hall, Ding Fan and Wu Qingxia couldn’t find a suitable weapon. It wasn’t that the weapons there weren’t good, but Ding Fan just couldn’t find one he fancied. He felt these weapons didn’t suit him.
In the hall of the Lin Family Shop, there were several attendants, both male and female, and two shopkeepers. One of them seed to notice the disappointnt in Ding Fan’s eyes and approached with a smile, saying to Ding Fan, "Honored guest, is there nothing here to your liking? It’s okay, just tell your specifications, and I might be able to find what you’re looking for."
"These weapons are all too light. I want sothing really heavy," Ding Fan said, looking at the thin shopkeeper in front of him. He was puzzled how soone could be so thin, almost as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
"The guest wants a very heavy weapon. I’m just not sure how heavy is ’very heavy’?"
The thin shopkeeper smiled shrewdly and gently asked Ding Fan.
Ding Fan furrowed his brows and looked at the thin shopkeeper, saying, "It should be over ten thousand pounds, right? Do you have sothing like that here? If not, I’ll look elsewhere."
"Please rest assured, esteed guest. Your needs are the reason for our existence. Our philosophy is always to have whatever is needed; if you want it, we can get it for you imdiately. Regarding the heavy weapon, we do indeed have one. But please forgive my bluntness; I’m curious. We have many high-level weapons that can augnt power. I don’t understand why the guest insists on such a heavy weapon, as using martial skills with heavy weapons can be inconvenient."
However, Ding Fan didn’t agree with the shopkeeper’s words. In his battles on Great Python Mountain, he realized a martial arts ultimate technique that brute force can surpass all skills. Even the most intricate martial skills stand vulnerable before absolute power, so he still wanted a weapon even heavier than his Giant Axe.
At this mont, he waved his hand toward the shopkeeper and said, "Don’t ask so many questions. If you have it, bring it out for to see. If not, I’ll look around elsewhere."
"I’m truly sorry. That was my noise. Please! Co with , both of you!"
The shopkeeper led the two into a small hall and spoke to a burly man, "Go find two people to bring in the Heaven asuring Ruler and let these two distinguished guests examine it."
"Ruler!?"
Ding Fan felt a bit skeptical. He was originally skilled with the flying sword, but later discovered it wasn’t effective in the Divine Realm, so he resorted to using a giant axe. Now they’re talking about a ruler, what would he use it for, asuring cloth?
However, since the shopkeeper had already asked soone to fetch it, he was too embarrassed to leave imdiately, so he had to wait there.
Soon, two n ca up carrying a gigantic box nearly two ters long and almost a foot wide. Both were Peak First Level experts of the Divine Realm, but they seed sowhat strained carrying the iron box.
At this ti, Wu Qingxia’s curiosity was also piqued. She exchanged a glance with Ding Fan, and both felt that this weapon seed a bit too large.
"Place it here, and open it for the two to see!"
At the shopkeeper’s words, one of the box carriers reached out and opened the box, revealing what looked like a giant stone rod in front of them. Its extraordinary aura imdiately caught Ding Fan’s attention, prompting him to silently exclaim, "Good stuff!"
The weapon brought up by the shopkeeper appeared overall like a stone rod, but there were sharp blades at both ends. In the middle was a handle, and inscribed in the middle were the three large characters "Heaven asuring Ruler". It had straight blades like a sword, resembling an unfinished piece of mystical cold iron. However, shimring light would occasionally flow across it, indicating it was no ordinary item.
Simply put, it was an iron ruler with blades on both sides, and the handle was in the middle of the ruler.
Ding Fan stepped forward and lifted the iron ruler with one hand, lifting it slowly, his eyes gleaming with an intensified light. The weight of the Heaven asuring Ruler was indeed remarkable, easily exceeding ten thousand kilograms.
"Whoosh~~"
Ding Fan injected True Qi into the Heaven asuring Ruler, and the entire ruler shimred with flowing light, vaguely showing signs of movent, looking very magnificent and exuding a heavy and imposing aura.
"Whoosh..."
With just a gentle swing of the Heaven asuring Ruler, a ripping sound filled the air, as if the ruler had turned into an indistinct shadow, surprising Ding Fan. He couldn’t help but glance at the shopkeeper.
"Heh heh, this Heaven asuring Ruler was crafted by a weapon master within our family, and its quality is quite excellent. Moreover, to enhance its attack power, a very mysterious prohibition was added inside. As long as there’s wind, its attack speed doubles."
"So that’s why I felt that way."
Just now, Ding Fan had swung casually, yet he didn’t expect such speed. At this mont, his eyes turned sowhat passionate. Although the Heaven asuring Ruler wasn’t the axe-like weapon he had in mind, it could fully unleash his strength and was the most fitting weapon he had encountered so far.
Noticing Ding Fan’s reluctance, the thin shopkeeper spoke again, "This Heaven asuring Ruler weighs nineteen thousand eight hundred jin and is made of high-quality Deep Sea Mystical Iron. Unless it’s a divine artifact, ordinary weapons couldn’t possibly damage this Heaven asuring Ruler. Originally, this Heaven asuring Ruler is the treasure of our store. I wouldn’t have brought it out if not for seeing you two as distinguished individuals."
The shopkeeper rambled on, mostly with useless talk. He saw that Ding Fan liked it and tried to hike up the price. Wu Qingxia understood his intention and saw that Ding Fan liked it too. She was straightforward, brought up with a habit of not bargaining, and asked the thin shopkeeper, "Enough with the talking, just tell how much Black Obsidian you want."
Seeing Wu Qingxia’s attitude, the thin shopkeeper thought he encountered big spenders and imdiately said to her, "One hundred and twenty thousand Black Obsidian!"
"Oh my..."
Ding Fan and Wu Qingxia were stunned. This guy was really harsh, treating them like fools. It was just a weapon, yet he wanted a price more than enough to buy two Tigertooth Apes.
Realizing this situation, Ding Fan understood the shopkeeper’s intention. He aid to overcharge them. Ding Fan put down the Heaven asuring Ruler and said to the shopkeeper, "Well, this thing, I can’t afford it. Sorry for disturbing you, farewell."
Honestly, Ding Fan really liked this weapon, but that didn’t an he’d let himself be played for a fool. There wasn’t only one Lin Family Shop selling weapons; he planned to check elsewhere.
"Young master, don’t rush. The price I ntioned was for others. Considering how distinguished you are, the Heaven asuring Ruler would surely shine in your hands. For soone of your age to already be a Mid Second Level of the Divine Realm, this ruler..."
