Chapter 1117: A Deity Weapon?
“All the mysteries have been solved. This isn’t the ‘Origin Divine Palace.’ The plaque must have been written by Master, which is why the script looks more modern. This palace used to be where the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals lived. Only those who were born in the Deity Realm and followed the Deities around could be ten thousand feet tall,” Chen Fan whispered.
Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were just myths.
There might not be anyone who had seen Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals with their own eyes in the last millions of years. After all, no one had ascended anymore.
Let alone Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
It was still a mystery whether ascension and the Deity Realm were real.
Many people even wondered if the Deities that flew to the Deity Realm in the ancient records were fake. They might have only left the universe and gone to other worlds.
However, Chen Fan had seen them before.
He had even fought and killed them.
Those Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were ten million feet tall, even taller than the Cloud Giants. Only the Universe Giants could surpass them. Besides, all of them were at least Soul Formation Cultivators and the Heavenly Generals were even Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals.
Chen Fan sneered and a glint of viciousness flashed in his eyes as he thought about the battle with those Heavenly Generals.
“Then, this palace should have been named ‘Heavenly Soldier Palace’ at first and later changed to Origin Divine Palace afterwards. There must be a deep meaning behind it,” Chen Fan thought.
He quickly flashed through a few rooms and saw that the Weapons Pavilion and the Armor Pavilion were empty, as he expected.
Even though those Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were like ants to Chen Fan in his previous life, having killed a large number of them, their armors and weapons were all Divine Treasures, Sacred Treasures or even Quasi-Deity Artifacts.
Weapons and Dharma Treasures of that level in the Deity Realm were much more powerful than those in the human world.
“Not even a piece of tile?”
Chen Fan was completely speechless.
He walked around the rooms several times and still found nothing. Only stones remained.
“Whatever.”
Chen Fan shook his head.
He walked out of the Weapons Pavilion and was about to go after the Nascent Soul of the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace again. Suddenly, he saw something in a corner.
“Hm?”
A broken sword was stuck in the ground. It was a few feet long and was entirely black, full of rust and surrounded by dust. It had lost all its Spirit Qi, becoming scrap metal after countless years there.
“This is…”
Chen Fan touched his chin and walked around the broken sword.
He tapped the broken sword and the sound of a bell was heard. It had been made with a special material, something Chen Fan had never seen before. It was so hard that it didn’t move a bit even if Chen Fan punched it.
“This broken sword is definitely not from a few hundred years ago. It was more likely made with Deity Gold in the ancient times. This is a powerful material that’s normally used to make Deity Treasures. There’s just a little of it, even in the entire universe. I also had to go to other worlds to find it when I tried to make a Deity Treasure back then.”
Chen Fan frowned.
He said as his eyes glittered, “This broken part must belong to some Deity Weapon. It might have cracked during a war and its Deity Qi dissipated, which is why it’s stuck here.”
The weapons of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were all made with Deity Gold in the Deity Realm. They were extremely precious and were at least a thousand feet long. So, that blade was just a small part of a Deity Weapon.
And yet, even if the Spirit Qi had dissipated, it was extremely precious as it was.
After all, it had been made with Deity Gold!
Chen Fan went through countless worlds and fought with lots of Divine Beasts to find the Divine Materials be wanted. He broke into the old sects and had battles with those Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals only for a piece of Deity Gold.
“Of course, it’s not entirely made of Deity Gold. If not, it would be worth even more than an ancient sacred ground. The Perfected Immortals of the nine Celestial Sects would surely fight over it. However, it does have a bit of Deity Gold, which is why it’s so hard and can remain like this after millions of years.”
The Grand Cultivators of the Celestial Sects who stayed in the Heavenly Soldier Palace might have thought that it had lost all of its Spirit Qi, so they had not been interested in taking it away. And those Divine Princes and young elites didn’t know that it used to be a Deity Weapon, so they ignored it.
But Chen Fan was thrilled.
Even if it was just a part of the Deity Weapon, even if it had no Deity Qi and had turned into scrap metal, it was still a Deity Weapon made with Deity Gold after all.
It didn’t have any Divine or Dharma powers, but it was hard and sharp. Not even normal Divine Treasures could compare with it.
“I won’t have to use ‘Flying Deity’ if I have this weapon. I’d be able to split the Taichu Heavenly Ship and the Wuji Starship in half with a single attack. The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace and the Divine Prince of the Wuji Sect would be unable to withstand my attacks, no matter what Divine Treasures they use.” Chen Fan laughed.
He narrowed his eyes and his Immortal Will sensed that there was still a hint of energy deep inside the sword. The energy was weak, but had yet to disappear even after millions of years.
It seemed that the Deity Weapon had not completely turned into scrap metal.
“Whoosh!”
Chen Fan tried to infuse some Dharma Power inside, but the broken sword didn’t respond.
He kept going.
The patches of rust on the broken sword began to peel off and it let out rays of light as more Dharma Power was infused.
Then, a suction force came from the Deity Weapon. Chen Fan felt how its True Essence was being absorbed by the blade. Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent… In the end, the blade sucked in almost ninety percent of his Dharma Power, comparable to all the True Essence of a peak-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. After that, it let out a gentle sound.
“Buzz!”
The sword vibrated gently and the rust on its blade disappeared, exposing the crystal clear body.
The aura around the blade became brighter, and it turned into a sphere of light in the end; some powerful energy was released. Although it was just a small part of a Deity Weapon, it had a higher level than many Divine Treasures and Sacred Treasures in the human world. After all, it was from a sword of the Deity Realm.
“Rise!”
Chen Fan wanted to pull it out.
But the broken sword remained where it was. Chen Fan’s strong body and Dharma Power were completely unable to move the sword, not even a bit. The Deity Light on the blade even started to dim. It seemed that the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace had also stumbled upon that broken sword, but he couldn’t take it away no matter what and could only leave it there. At this moment, the sword hadn’t acknowledged Chen Fan, either.
Chen Fan snickered.
“Hm, you want to run? Do you think I’m those Divine Princes? I’ve killed countless cultivators like your Master back then and you’re just a broken sword.”
Then.
Chen Fan stomped his foot and shouted.
“Xuantian Weapon Control Art!”
Buzz!
A beam of red light was shot out of Chen Fan’s hand and hit the broken sword.
The red light immediately went inside the broken sword, making it shake violently like a magic spell cast by a wizard. The sword made noises a thousand times louder and rays of light came out, shining over the entire room. Some terrifying energy surged out of it, cracking Chen Fan’s skin open.
But Chen Fan kept staring at the broken sword firmly and infused his Dharma Power into the Xuantian Weapon Control Art.
Buzz, buzz!
The sound of the broken sword became louder and resounded in the entire palace in the end. A red aura started to appear on it and slowly moved downwards.
One foot, two feet, three feet…
Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet…
The “broken sword” struggled and released some Sword Qi, creating some wounds on Chen Fan’s body. Blood oozed out quickly. The largest wound almost split Chen Fan in half, but he didn’t care about it. He continued casting the spell to refine that Deity Weapon while the red aura was still expanding.
In the end—
The sword brightened when the red light enveloped the entire Deity Weapon, then dimmed immediately and turned into a normal black sword a few feet long.
Chen Fan pulled it out and saw that it was entirely black and shiny like a mirror. Looking closely, there were some red patterns on it.
At this moment.
Chen Fan knew he had refined the Deity Weapon, but it would take a while for him to make it his own, like the Blade Strengthening Gourd.
But Chen Fan only chuckled.
“You still want to escape from my hand? Even if your Master comes, I can kill him with one hand.”
The broken sword wasn’t moving, but Chen Fan felt the vibration deep inside it.
Chen Fan didn’t care about it. He looked outside the temple. “It’s time to deal with the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace.”
