Chapter 1619: Transforming the Body into a Cauldron

“Damn it, if you really don't want these divine artifacts, just give them to us! Why throw them at our boss like they're worthless? Our boss's Eternal Sword Dao isn't something your junk can block. What a waste!”

Long Kun stomped and cursed below. Soon, more and more demon warriors echoed his words, acting as a cheering squad from the ground.

“A bunch of chattering little bugs! It seems I need to show you a lesson. Do you really think my Divine Weapon Tomb is a place you can just come and go as you please?”

As soon as he finished speaking, perhaps frustrated by his inability to defeat Xu Yang, the figure suddenly sought a scapegoat. He extended his left hand, which had been hidden behind him, and powerfully swept it towards the demon army below.

Dozens of ancient divine artifacts, each capable of large-scale destruction, flew out simultaneously. Their awakened weapon spirits descended furiously towards the demon army's position below. Various cultivation techniques and immense spiritual power, unleashed by the awakening of these powerful ancient divine weapons, surged down like a galaxy pouring from the heavens, engulfing the demon army.

“This is bad! He's turned his attack on us!”

As soon as Long Kun spoke, the Four Great Demon Sages, along with Xiao Hua, Ling Yao, and others, instantly moved to resist. Like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each demonstrated their formidable cultivation techniques, protecting the hundreds of thousands of demon troops below.

After all, the opponent was a formidable expert of the Boundless Realm. They couldn't allow the demon beasts to charge to their deaths. At such a critical moment, only simultaneous action from Demon Sage-level experts could prevent widespread and unnecessary casualties among the demon army.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yang couldn't help but sneer. “You can't defeat me, so you start bullying those behind me? Is this the behavior expected of the ruler of the Path to Heaven's Forbidden Zone? Ridiculous!”

Xu Yang seemed enraged by the opponent's despicable actions. Wielding the Eternal Sword Aura, he stepped into the air and, using the main sword's dazzling aura, directly cleaved towards the mysterious ruler's true form.

Faced with Xu Yang's sudden move, the mysterious Weapon Master instantly broke into a cold sweat and instinctively vanished from his original position in the void.

Xu Yang immediately saw through the extraordinary speed of his movement. “I really didn't expect a useless wretch like you to be proficient in some spatial-temporal laws. That makes things easier. Let me show you the true power of complete spatial-temporal laws!”

After speaking, Xu Yang placed the dazzling Eternal Sword Aura behind his back with one hand, then extended his other palm. The powerful influence of spatial-temporal laws instantly erupted from his body. The entire void froze in that instant, and the mysterious ruler's body completely lost all ability to move.

“What?! I can't believe your cultivation has reached such a level! Damn it, if I had known I'd encounter such a powerful enemy, I wouldn't have rushed forward to my death!”

The ruler seemed a bit slow-witted, even forgetting that he had only received a command from the Supreme God's will: a wave of invaders might enter the Path to Heaven, and he needed to prepare for it. He truly hadn't expected these so-called invaders to be so powerful this time.

“If I'm not mistaken, you, the leader of these invaders, have already surpassed the Boundless Realm. Your power is simply beyond what my current cultivation level can resist.”

Xu Yang sneered, “Since you've recognized the gap between us, why not stop resisting immediately? I might spare your life, at least give you a chance to empty your coffers to save yourself.”

The opponent chuckled and replied to Xu Yang, “I thank you for your kindness, but you don't understand. If I abandon this place, and the thousands of divine weapon spirits were to try to survive on their own, my life would also come to an end.”

Xu Yang feigned a sudden realization, scratching his head. “Oh, my apologies, I forgot. You're merely a puppet, a mere marionette under the Supreme God, with no independent meaning to your own life.”

The mysterious ruler gritted his teeth and, in the next instant, tore off the mask from his face. A blood-red light erupted from his countenance. From that very moment, every soul watching the battle fell into a deathly silence, and even the spatial-temporal law's confinement released by Xu Yang completely lost its effect.

Xu Yang finally understood: the moment this individual took off his mask was when he would unleash his true, strongest primary divine artifact. As that aura descended, the figure, whose face now glowed with blood-red light, let out a frenzied wail.

Immediately, thousands of divine artifact spirits surrounding him were all, in a very short time, swallowed into his body by his blood-glowing face.

“So that's it! Your physical body is a true primary divine artifact, possessing the powerful ability to devour all divine weapons and everything in the world!”

With his secret revealed by Xu Yang, the now deranged figure burst into wild, arrogant laughter.

“Truly brilliant, but what does that matter? You cannot change the outcome of this battle. Before long, I'll be able to devour the power of your Eternal Sword Dao into my own body. The strongest sword spirit you desire might indeed be born today. The unfortunate thing is, this sword spirit won't belong to you, but to me.”

As soon as the mysterious ruler finished speaking, he began frantically devouring all the divine artifact spirits around him. As each spirit vanished, assimilated into his body, its corresponding physical divine artifact instantly turned to dust, completely disappearing between heaven and earth.

Without a doubt, this was an irreversible process, one he could perhaps only perform once in his lifetime. But once successful, he himself would become the most powerful primary divine artifact!

Indeed, as the mysterious ruler continued to devour more and more divine artifact spirits, his physical form began to change. His limbs started to recede, leaving only his torso and head.

Furthermore, his torso began to expand and spread, eventually forming the outline of a colossal cauldron, entirely ablaze with blood-red light. By transforming his physical body into a cauldron capable of refining all divine artifacts under heaven, he would become the ultimate furnace for forging primary divine artifacts.

“A Yang, if you can conquer his soul and take possession of this now irreversible artifact, you will have the medium to create your own strongest primary divine artifact in the future. Even the most powerful sword spirit you wish to forge could be completed through his body.”
