Chapter 752 - 852: Exhausted
At that time, Yuan Chu Zhenren had only refined about twenty Magical Treasures, but all of them were rare-grade artifacts. Yuan Chu Zhenren hadn't thought much of the claws at first when he acquired them.
However, after thoroughly researching them, he suddenly discovered that these claws were utterly extraordinary, defying the natural order. Even when Yuan Chu Zhenren attacked the claw with all his might, he could only leave a faint white line on it.
It's worth noting that these claws hadn't been processed yet. If they were to be processed and refined into Magical Treasures, Yuan Chu Zhenren probably wouldn't be able to leave any marks on them!
However, what frustrated Yuan Chu Zhenren was that once these claws were refined into rare-grade Magical Treasures, their quality actually diminished, because a full-force strike from Yuan Chu Zhenren could destroy an unactivated treasure.
This left Yuan Chu Zhenren quite vexed, but it was true; if the claws' quality didn't decline, the refinement of Magical Treasures would fail, because the claws themselves were already Supreme Magical Treasure quality. To maintain their standard, they would have to be refined into Supreme Magical Treasures!
Thus, Yuan Chu Zhenren couldn't use all the claws for refining Magical Treasures because he wanted to leave one large claw and attempt to refine a Supreme Magical Treasure.
Don't underestimate leaving just one claw behind; that single claw could be used to create four to five hundred Magical Treasures.
Back to the main point, what amazed Yuan Chu Zhenren was that Ye Tianfan not only had great fortune but also exceptional talent; after all, reaching third level Qian Yuan in less than five years was no mere boast.
Ye Tianfan was extraordinarily talented, crafting such terrifying techniques that it was simply unbelievable!
All the Chief Elders felt there was no danger on Ye Tianfan's side, so they began to watch.
Meanwhile, Ye Tianfan, slightly panting, looked at the monsters still wanting to charge at him, then consumed a few pills to replenish his Spiritual Power. The previous strike Ye Tianfan used had reduced his Spiritual Power by 40 percent.
What Ye Tianfan didn't know was that if he flew high enough right now, he would see that his previous strike had wiped out one-twentieth of all the enemies.
However, Ye Tianfan didn't know any of this; before him was still an overwhelming sea of monsters.
Those monsters, after hesitating for a moment, charged forward again, disregarding the lava on the ground, as they began using the bodies of those before them as stepping stones to rush toward Ye Tianfan.
Seeing such a cruel scene, Ye Tianfan felt a sense of revulsion, though knowing they were now mindless, he was still deeply sickened by them trampling over their companions' corpses.
Ye Tianfan discovered that the speed at which the ground's lava consumed them couldn't keep up with the monsters charging forward; barely had one melted to slag when another lunged, and the blood from those monsters acted like water, hastening the lava's cooling.
Soon, the lava area created by Ye Tianfan was already halfway covered by the monsters.
Ye Tianfan squinted at these monsters and muttered softly, "Well, I didn't want to use that move, but now it seems I have no choice. I hope once I finish, I can still make it back to the Taichu Sect; otherwise, my master will have to collect my corpse!"
After saying this, Ye Tianfan consumed a few more pills to replenish his Spiritual Power, though he didn't swallow them directly; instead, he kept them in his mouth, swallowing a few when his power was depleted, only to swallow more once those ran out!
Ye Tianfan held the Fire Lotus Sword in his hand and began channeling Spiritual Power into it.
Because the Fire Lotus Sword had absorbed the Source of Blood Qi within that unknown monster's heart, it had now ascended to the Supreme Magical Treasure level, making its use of fire-type Immortal Technique as smooth as fish to water, or wings to a tiger!
When Tian Chu Zhenren and the others saw Ye Tianfan channeling power into the Fire Lotus Sword, their expressions turned strange; they knew the Fire Lotus Sword was given to Ye Tianfan by Tian Chu Zhenren, and they had also seen the Fire Lotus Sword before, knowing its quality.
But now, the Fire Lotus Sword appeared to be at Supreme Magical Treasure quality.
After Ye Tianfan infused the Fire Lotus Sword with Spiritual Power, the sword's might began to gradually emanate, and Ye Tianfan made no attempt to suppress it, as he no longer had the strength to suppress the sword's power!
"Junior Brother Tian Chu, if I remember correctly, the Fire Lotus Sword you gave to Nephew Tianfan wasn't supposed to be Supreme grade, right?" Taichu Zhenren asked.
The Sect Leaders of the minor sects were startled to hear this; after all, such wealth, giving Supreme Magical Treasures to one's disciple, they overlooked the rest of Taichu Zhenren's words, only noting that this artifact was a gift from Tian Chu Zhenren to Ye Tianfan, and they sensed the Fire Lotus Sword was now of Supreme grade!
"Yes, it's just a rare-grade Magical Treasure!" Tian Chu Zhenren was also puzzled; after all, he had used the Fire Lotus Sword for hundreds of years and knew what it looked like, it was definitively rare-grade!
Why, then, was it now emanating Supreme-grade aura? This left Tian Chu Zhenren quite surprised!
Upon hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words, the minor sects immediately changed their thinking; it wasn't that Supreme items were being distributed to disciples, but rather the wealth lay in giving even rare-grade items, which, while not the former wealth, still represented richness, as in those minor sects, even a rare-grade item procured through inheritance could trigger a catastrophe!
"You've used it for hundreds of years, so of course you know it's a rare-grade item. But why is it now showing Supreme-grade power? Is it possible that the Fire Lotus Sword is an evolvable treasure?" Yuan Chu Zhenren said, eyes shining with excitement!
The minor sects were astounded by Yuan Chu Zhenren's words; this top sect was so extravagant, giving even evolving treasures to disciples.
Ye Tianfan knew nothing of their discussion at that moment; he was already utterly exhausted from using a full-powered fourth style, having infused twelve times Ye Tianfan's volume of Spiritual Power into it. Why not use the fifth style? Because his power quality wasn't high enough, he could only pour more power into the fourth style!
