Chapter 1618: Divine Artifact Awakens

This was equivalent to increasing the Dao Fruit obtained by thousands or tens of thousands of times. Consequently, Xu Yang regarded this place as his optimal training ground.

"A sword honed for ten thousand years, tested today! Ever since I established the Eternal Sword Dao, I've been able to ensure that the sword energy I condense can achieve eternal, immortal transmission. Yet, each time the sword energy condenses, its aura is distinctly different from previous sword Dao auras. This is because I have never found a sword soul that perfectly matches my Eternal Sword Dao.

If this battle can truly help me forge the strongest sword soul, then my journey to the Path to Heaven, Second Forbidden Zone, will have gained an irreplaceable meaning."

Xu Yang spoke these words indifferently, more like talking to himself, completely ignoring the powerful sovereign before him, who was still eager for battle.

This attitude, which treated an expert of the Boundless Realm as if they were nothing, thoroughly enraged the peerless expert whose facial features were indistinct.

"Very well, you brat, you certainly have guts and no fear of death. Today, I will use my power to make you understand that your so-called strongest sword Dao is not yet qualified to swagger around in my territory!"

As his words fell, the Boundless Realm sovereign guarding the Tomb of Divine Weapons finally let out a furious roar. In that instant, under the influence of his aura, hundreds of ancient divine weapons gathered around him simultaneously awakened.

More and more divine weapon souls completed their recovery and floated in the void. In a blink of an eye, the entire vast void was filled with awakened divine weapon souls, each exuding a powerful, dense killing aura. All of them, guided by the spiritual power of this sovereign-level expert, locked onto Xu Yang's main body.

"Little ones, I have suppressed you for countless years. Today, I release you all. I give you only one task: to tear this brat's soul to shreds at all costs.

Whoever succeeds will be allowed to individually devour all of his life essence, granting you true immortality.

In my judgment, if any of you can inherit everything from this human brat, then you will undoubtedly become the strongest divine artifact in the Tomb of Divine Weapons, unparalleled for ten thousand years!"

The mysterious sovereign's words were filled with a thrilling fervor, as if he would soon witness the birth of the strongest divine artifact under his command.

Unfortunately, he never dreamed that this battle today would mirror his defeat at Huarong Path. One ancient divine weapon soul after another let out a frantic cry, hurtling various divine weapons and sharp blades towards Xu Yang's location, each unleashing their terrifying and unmatched power in their own way.

It should be known that any one of these divine artifacts was once the reliance of a top expert who dominated a region and conquered the world. Each of them possessed an untamed and wild nature. Even though their hosts had long since turned to dust, the essence condensed within the artifacts still exuded an arrogant and overbearing aura.

Yet Xu Yang, with a single sword, stood alone, wielding his blade across the heavens. No matter how powerful the aura released by the opponents, or how terrifying the power of the divine artifacts themselves, the moment they touched Xu Yang's Eternal Sword Light, they were all shattered into dust by its world-destroying aura.

What should have been a scene of wolves fighting over tiger meat quickly evolved into moths flying into a flame. More and more divine souls mindlessly charged into the sword energy domain released by Xu Yang's Eternal Sword Light and were instantly disintegrated into dust.

"Heh heh, are you trying to be funny? These pieces of junk dare to disgrace themselves before my Eternal Sword Dao? I really overestimated you, didn't I?"

Xu Yang seemed somewhat provoked, as the divine weapon souls that had shattered before him were far from the intensity he desired, and certainly not qualified to be the touchstone for his Eternal Sword Dao.

"If your esteemed Tomb of Divine Weapons is full of such worthless trash, then I truly have no need to waste any more time here."

After speaking, Xu Yang suddenly extended two fingers. In a mere instant, with a single sweep of his sword across the heavens, the enormous Eternal Sword Light before him soared into the sky, transforming into thousands of sword lights in the void, and rained down towards the mysterious sovereign's main body.

The opponent, in the end, only possessed the instinct to control these divine weapon souls; his own cultivation power had not reached a formidable level. Thus, when faced with thousands of dazzling sword lights assaulting him, the mysterious sovereign instinctively panicked.

After all, he had already witnessed Xu Yang's strength and was quite aware of the disparity in power between the two of them. Sure enough, at the critical moment, this fellow didn't think further; he instinctively waved his hand, directly placing hundreds of powerful divine artifacts in front of him as a shield.

Regrettably, the strength of every sword light released by Xu Yang in the void was simply something these divine artifacts could not withstand. In just one encounter, they were cut into fragments by countless sword lights.

"Heavens, any one of these ancient divine weapons is renowned, yet they are so vulnerable before Boss Xu Yang's Eternal Sword Dao! Perhaps it's only when we compare him to his enemies that we truly realize how powerful Boss Xu Yang is. The boss who is usually by our side rarely displays such deterrent power."

Jiu'er and Xiao Xiang's exchange also expressed their astonishment at Xu Yang's power. Indeed, it was true; Xu Yang, who usually appeared before them, always maintained a wise and peaceful demeanor, rarely displaying his terrifying suppressive power to his companions.

However, once on the battlefield, Xu Yang was like an invincible war god. No matter the opponent's background, as long as they dared to provoke Xu Yang, their end was often utter destruction.

Weren't these overconfident ancient divine artifacts meeting just such a fate? Witnessing more and more incredibly rare divine weapon souls shattering on the spot, with their divine artifact bodies also being completely crushed by Xu Yang's sword Dao, the monster beast army behind them watched, their cheeks twitching with heartache.

Especially the Four Great Demon Sages and their companions, when hundreds of divine artifacts first appeared on that fellow, they had all thought of it like picking peaches from their own backyard, and began pointing at the increasing number of miraculous lights in the void, choosing their preferred magical artifacts.

However, after the battle began, the opponent's reckless squandering made these heartbroken monster beast experts feel as if their hearts were being torn out.

Because of the intensity of this level, they were not qualified to participate in the battle. They could only watch helplessly as the mysterious sovereign on the other side wantonly squandered and destroyed these rare ancient divine weapons.
