Chapter 937: Chapter 657: Master of the Arctic Boundary Tower
"Is it really this Spiritual Weapon?"
The bald giant instantly recognized it.
He chuckled bitterly, "This Myriad Sword Shining Dragon Armor was originally crafted by a member of our Dragon Clan,
who intended to gather all the reversed scales of the dragons in Tianxia to create the most formidable and robust defense Supreme Treasure,
but he resorted to unscrupulous means to collect the scales and was killed by a True Dragon,
and thus the whereabouts of the Shining Dragon Armor became unknown after much wandering,
If the Alliance Hierarch wishes to wear this armor, it’s no problem; although the reversed scales are precious, I have amassed quite a few in the Dragon Tomb, all naturally shed,
and since the quality of weapons depends on their wielder, I am curious to see what level the Myriad Dragon Armor will reach following the Alliance Hierarch?"
The bald giant waved his hand, and more than a dozen dragon scales emitting an Eight Realm aura and dazzling in multiple colors floated down.
All of these are ancestral relics.
He had collected quite a few; he even had Ninth Rank reversed scales, but they were few in number, fundamentally linked to the Dragon Clan, and naturally, he didn’t dare to easily give them to Lu Chenzhou.
"Thank you. I, Lu, won’t let you suffer a loss. Take this Purple Thunder Armor as compensation, and you can select two more Eighth Rank Spiritual Weapons from the treasure vault."
Lu Chenzhou laughed, since an Original Reverse Scale from an Eight Realm dragon born only a few, is as valuable as the True Spirit Essence Blood just gifted by the Black Boat Ancestor.
With an Undying Body and the Purple Thunder Armor, he didn’t need it.
Compared to it, the Myriad Dragon Armor holds more potential.
Little Purple saw the stout man and knelt immediately.
[Little Purple greets the master...]
"Hehe, I won’t stand on ceremony then."
The crowd dispersed.
Spirit Phoenix Dominator said, "Alliance Hierarch, we need to beware of the Black Boat Ancestor next. We killed her messenger, which is a slap to her face, and since someone like Black Boat without civilization has no weaknesses, once mad, will be without restraint!"
"I know, Sister Phoenix, rest assured, no matter who comes, I, Lu Chenzhou, can bear it alone."
He said lightly and then left.
Sister Phoenix stood dazed, her heart surging.
"So domineering... when will I be able to say such words too? By the way, what exactly is the strength of the Alliance Hierarch? Since his Breakthrough Eighth, no one seems capable of making him exert himself; even defeating the Three World Venerables was just in a flash." She remembered that Lu Chenzhou had a strong Ascension Secret Technique capable of boosting a realm in a short time but hasn’t used it since Breaking Eighth.
...
Kunxu Great World.
Star Constellation Sea.
A group of Seventh Realm experts looked in horror at the shattered soul lamps of two Supreme Elders, at a complete loss.
"The Two Elders of the Star Palace are dead... and they died simultaneously, which means a powerful enemy killed both Eighth Realm at once; other than the Divine Alliance and those top-level loose cultivators, who else could do it?"
"It’s over. The Star Palace is over."
All of a sudden, panic spread throughout the Kunxu Realm.
The strongest faction disbanded in an instant.
The Two Elders of the Star Palace simply vanished from the human world.
Many people speculated it was done by Alliance Hierarch Lu because the Two Elders once offended the Yaochi Immortal, who is one of the closest companions of Alliance Hierarch Lu.
Offending her means a dead end.
Mystic Sky Alliance offered no explanation.
The era of great upheaval.
In over a decade, more Eighth Realm experts have fallen than in the past century; the death of the Two Elders is just a bigger ripple among them, but what does it count for compared to the upcoming awakening of demigods?
The Three Thousand Worlds are being reshuffled.
Alliance Hierarch Lu is one of the reshufflers; those without Second Step or even Third Step power will be swept away in the upcoming vortex.
...
"Death is for the best, clearing this causation, allowing for peaceful deep cultivation."
Black Boat Ancestor’s chest heaved, emotions gloomy, then she took a deep breath, heart as clear as ice.
"Alliance Hierarch Lu, truly didn’t give Black Boat face, but indeed he has the power for it."
Black Boat accepted it reluctantly.
She wasn’t afraid of Lu Chenzhou.
She feared more the people behind Lu Chenzhou.
Giving up some things, for peace of mind.
That’s fine.
...
Several months later.
Within Myriad Feather Mountain.
In the training ground, led by the Hanhai Sect Lord, the Seven Sword Immortals unified as one, and seven sword lights soared into the sky, forming a Sword Qi Long Dragon in the darkness.
The Long Dragon flicked its tail, sweeping across armies.
The bald giant wielded a giant axe, hacking away.
After their extreme collision, the Long Dragon dispersed, and the giant flew backward, his arms reduced to a bloody mist.
"As expected of the Heavenly Separation Sword Formation, I didn’t expect the combined attack of six Seventh Realm and one First Step could break my Nether Dragon Treasure Body."
The bald giant laughed.
"The Seven Swords United is indeed formidable, if seven Eighth Realm Sword Immortals were to execute it, they could probably instantly kill 99% of those below Great Power, this isn’t a simple summation." Lu Chenzhou also nodded.
"Haha, satisfying, thanks to the Alliance Hierarch’s fulfillment, the Hanhai Seven Sons have also fulfilled their wishes."
Bai Qiuzi clasped his fists in thanks.
"In the upcoming war against the Divine Alliance, if you Seven Sons can block one World Venerable, it would be considered a victory."
Lu Chenzhou said.
According to intelligence, Yan Ming may have already reached the Third Step. With the clan’s sacred artifact and the advantage of the terrain, Lu Chenzhou will definitely have to give his all.
The other Three World Venerables need to be blocked by Wan Shui, Dragon and Phoenix Dominator, and the Hanhai Seven Sons, while Emperor Shitian replaces the Hanhai Sect Lord, guarding the Mystic Sky Headquarters.
...
Days later.
[Great Golden Light Spell: Small Success (100%) → Great Success (1%)]
On the Martial Arts Tree, a prompt was delivered.
Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes and murmured:
"I didn’t expect the first to reach Great Success among the three Secret Spells would be the Golden Light Spell, which I learned the latest. Let me test how effective the third killing move, Golden Light Reflection Realm, is. The great battle is imminent; it’s too late to research Divine Skills or Dao. I’ve acquired several quasi-supreme treasures before; I should take this opportunity to refine them. With the Great Success Golden Light Spell, my mind will be more impregnable against those residual thoughts attacks."
Returning to the secluded area, Lu Chenzhou took out the Shattering Star Heavy Hammer and once again immersed his consciousness within it.
"Roar!" As soon as he entered, a majestic and domineering Ice Qilin, wrapped in cold flames, charged forward, freezing time and space wherever it passed.
Ice extends for thousands of miles, snow falls for ten thousand miles!
Lu Chenzhou stood with his hands behind his back, opening his mind’s guard to let the Ice Qilin enter the Spiritual World, facing the World Tree and confronting the white-robed Lu Chenzhou.
"Surrender, or be obliterated."
Lu Chenzhou whispered.
The Artifact Spirit of the Shattering Star Hammer was quite rebellious; he had attempted to refine it several times before reaching the Eighth Realm, all ending in failure.
Refining post-Eighth Realm also requires a long time, but he couldn’t wait, hence the final ultimatum.
"Roar!"
The Ice Qilin opened its blood-filled maw, exhaling a thick stream of cold flame that tore through the stars, instantly arriving before Lu Chenzhou but was blocked by the suddenly appearing golden world, causing terrifying ripples.
The stars trembled.
Yet the Golden Light Spell remained unscathed.
"Truly stubborn."
Lu Chenzhou raised a hand, releasing a lofty aura that soared to the sky. The nearing Great Success Great Wilderness Prison Demon Hand emanating a vast aura struck the Ice Qilin.
The Heart Realm can also influence the strength of Spiritual Secret Methods.
He was only a step away from the Highly Realm, lacking only a fleeting, unknown Heart Refining Tribulation.
No matter how the Ice Qilin resisted,
He remained unmoved.
Boom, boom, boom!
The large hand smacked and kneaded the Ice Qilin back and forth in the starry sky, continuing for three entire days and nights.
Until the Ice Qilin had only a trace of spirit left, and a sense of submission broke into his mind.
[I am Han Lin, willing to recognize you as the master.]
"Han Lin? Who is your creator?"
[My creator is the North Pole Tower Master]
"North Pole Tower Master?"
In Mystic Sky, there are four Boundary Towers leading to four major domains, but in the war, three were destroyed, leaving only the Eastern Extreme Border Tower intact. The masters of the four Boundary Towers are all demigods, typically serving powerful experts of other races; for example, the East Pole Tower Pillar is the king of the Dragon Bo Giants, the leader of the Divine Court Giant Spirit Guard.
[The North Pole Tower Master was born in the Great Wilderness North Pole as the Cold Ice Ancestor, a giant formed from a wisp of Innate Cold Qi during the Heaven and Earth Creation, an outstanding demigod at his peak, who killed a True Spirit Qilin to forge me.]
After the submission, Lu Chenzhou finally knew the origins of this mysterious Fierce Hammer, and some ancient secrets.
The four Boundary Tower Masters arranged by the Divine Court to guard Mystic Sky were the North Pole Cold Ice Ancestor, South Pole Heavenly Centipede Elder, West Pole Mystic Shark Monarch, and the strongest East Pole Dragon Bo Giant King.
Together, they set up a super array in Mystic Sky, using the power of Mystic Sky’s will to suppress the demon ghost’s power entering the Mystic Sky Continent, hence the Evil Gods of the Eye of Truth can only huddle in the Star Dome Sea.
However, in the late stage of the Divine War, the Mystic Sky Continent was shattered at one rim, the three Boundary Towers fell, and the three Boundary Tower Masters perished, their respective treasures and inheritances scattered across the land.
The Shattering Star Hammer was eventually acquired by the Mystic Sky natives, and ultimately snatched by Qiu Kuangyi.
Lu Chenzhou’s consciousness entered the deepest part of the hammer.
A vast thought transmitted.
[I, Cold Ice Ancestor Lin, Cold Ice Divine Guard Commander, died by the hand of the Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord. If later ones can pass the trial left by my will within the Cold Lin Hammer, they may attain my legacy, and if cultivation is accomplished, they can avenge me against the Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord.]
"No wonder it’s so difficult to refine, it is indeed a trial and assessment by the Great Power." Lu Chenzhou suddenly realized.
A burst of information flooded his mind.
[You have comprehended the Secret Technique ’Cold Nether Ancient Body’, you have comprehended the Secret Technique ’Cold Ice True Pupil’, you have comprehended the Secret Technique... ]
Copious amounts of information poured in.
The Martial Arts Tree continuously flashed.
After digesting it, Lu Chenzhou murmured.
"The Eighth Rank is negligible; ’Cold Nether Ancient Body’ and ’Cold Ice True Pupil’ are both Ninth Rank Cultivation Methods. The first accomplished Great Divine Power ’Ancient Cold Ice’ is reputed as the hardest body under heaven, and the second accomplished Great Divine Power ’Ice Purity Divine Eyes’, reputed to penetrate all illusions and illusions, is also beneficial for spiritual cultivation and aids in overcoming spiritual tribulations, more suitable for me." Lu Chenzhou said.
His Heart Refining Tribulation could come at any moment.
Still needs to be prepared.
"Shattering Star, what divine traits do you possess?"
Lu Chenzhou asked.
[Master, I am called Han Lin.]
"From now on, you’ll be called Shattering Star."
[Okay... My divine trait is straightforward, the Shattering Star Hammer was forged by the Cold Ice Ancestor using his own original ten-thousand-year cold ice body in conjunction with the Heart of Ice Qilin, claimed to be the hardest supreme treasure below the Divine Artifact, common supreme treasures, if they clash head-on, risk being shattered, temporarily facing a Divine Artifact is also fine.]
"Hard enough? I like it."
Lu Chenzhou nodded.
This is the supreme treasure he needs.
Flowery and flashy are useless against divine artifacts, to clash directly with divine artifacts, he needs something solid enough.
Otherwise, facing Yan Ming, he would be quite passive, relying only on the Undying Body to fight a divine artifact.
No different than dancing on the tip of a knife.
