Chapter 1116 - Got It
Liu Wuxie spent half a minute decoding the war blade's spiritual arrays. He unraveled the runes with ease.
His next step was to penetrate the core and seize control of the war blade.
Ji Yuzhen advanced steadily, each step bringing him closer. The surrounding cultivators held their breath. Though reluctant, none dared to interfere.
On the True Martial Continent, strength decided everything. If they had the power, they would have fought for the blade as well.
"Faster—move faster!" Liu Wuxie urged, anxiety gnawing at him.
Ji Yuzhen closed in fast. If he reached the blade before the artifact spirit secured control, Liu Wuxie would lose more than the weapon. He would lose the Heretic Blade's spirit as well.
Without its spirit, the Heretic Blade would become nothing more than lifeless steel.
Liu Wuxie had spent years nurturing it to its current level. Forging an artifact spirit demanded time and painstaking effort, which he couldn't replicate overnight.
Ji Yuzhen moved forward at a measured pace. Bai Wensheng had withdrawn, so no one stood in his way.
Meanwhile, the artifact spirit pinpointed the Jadecloud Thunderlight Array's core but couldn't breach it. Lightning cloaked the array, threatening to kill any spirit in soul form.
A single lightning bolt could completely shatter the artifact spirit.
Liu Wuxie clenched his fists, anxiety etched on his face, but there was nothing he could do.
