Chapter 1115 - Artifact Spirit
Bai Wensheng hesitated. People had once valued a million supreme-grade spirit stones, but those days were gone. Now that he had stepped into the Heaven Profound Realm, he could amass that kind of wealth with ease. That made Ji Yuzhen's offer meaningless.
"Sorry, but I refuse," Bai Wensheng said, shaking his head with calm finality.
No one looked surprised, not even Ji Yuzhen, who had anticipated the answer. Everyone knew that no amount of spirit stones could match the worth of a heaven-spirit artifact. The two belonged to entirely different leagues.
Whether Bai Wensheng accepted meant nothing—Ji Yuzhen only wanted to make his stance clear.
"Ji Yuzhen knows how to put on a show," Liu Wuxie muttered.
Ji Yuzhen had anticipated Bai Wensheng's refusal. He had calculated the offer to look generous, intending to make Bai Wensheng appear petty or spineless if he accepted.
"In that case, we can only settle this with strength," Ji Yuzhen said.
By refusing, Bai Wensheng shut down any chance for compromise—the clash became inevitable.
"Then let's fight!" Bai Wensheng shouted, but instead of striking, he dashed toward the war blade, aiming to seize it first.
"Bai Wensheng, shameless as ever. What good would it do you even if you got it?" Ji Yuzhen sneered, making no move to stop him.
The moment Bai Wensheng touched the war blade, a violent surge of Heaven Profound Realm law erupted. This wasn't a mere heaven-spirit artifact—it had once surpassed that level, but heavy damage had diminished it.
Bai Wensheng's face contorted. He staggered back, stunned that he couldn't subdue the war blade. And this assumed the weapon had no artifact spirit. If it had remained intact, not even a high-level Heaven Profound Realm cultivator could have claimed it.
