Chapter 2821 - 2822: Indistinguishable from the Real Thing
Meanwhile, the Divine Weapon inside Ye Luo’s Dantian trembled violently, and suddenly, the rock layer in front of him completely exploded open! The rock layer behind him quickly began to heal again.
This effectively blocked most of the attacks from the powerful adversaries outside.
"Damn it, how could this happen!"
"This kid is strange! He actually managed to get in there just like that!"
"The treasure was seized right before us, I can’t accept this!"
Instantly, the surrounding powerful figures exclaimed in surprise, then desperately began to dig through the rock layer, their eyes turning bloodshot as they watched the treasure about to fall into Ye Luo’s hands.
Ye Luo and Ling’er, at this time, had already entered the depths of the mineral vein, where a self-contained space filled with Spiritual Energy existed. However, Ye Luo’s face turned visibly unpleasant as he held Ling’er’s body.
Although the rock layer blocked most of the attacks, Ling’er still had to withstand a small portion! If she were not a Martial Emperor herself, she might have perished immediately!
After all, it was an attack comparable to that of over a dozen Martial Emperors, and if Ye Luo had taken it himself, he likely would have met his doom!
"Ling’er, are you alright!" Ye Luo asked worriedly.
Ling’er, though pale, smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, I am a Spiritual Body, as long as my true body remains, they cannot destroy me. I just need to return to my true body for some time to recuperate, and the rest will be up to you!"
Afterward, her figure vanished, and a miniature crystal stone mountain fell into Ye Luo’s hands.
This was naturally her true body transformed. He immediately put away the miniature crystal stone mountain. Normally, a Spiritual Body’s true body cannot be easily entrusted to others, especially when the Spiritual Body is gravely injured like now. If Ye Luo were to destroy this crystal stone mountain, it would be an easy task, and Ling’er would face annihilation!
This shows how much Ling’er trusts Ye Luo.
Ye Luo immediately tucked the crystal stone mountain into his arms, then activated his Clairvoyant Eye, and he saw in front of him, the fragment of the Divine Weapon, rolling continuously in a narrow space!
It turned out there was a force sealing off the fragment of the Divine Weapon!
Upon careful inspection, Ye Luo noticed the origin.
This strength derived from ancient times, even though it was only a trace, it was incredibly powerful. Even someone at the Martial Emperor Realm would need to exert immense effort to break it, and they might also suffer a backlash from this force.
This power, naturally, came from the ancient War God. The first fragment Ye Luo obtained was the sword blade, containing the War God’s essence blood, which allowed it to manifest spirituality. The spirituality itself had power surpassing that of a Martial Emperor Realm cultivator, without needing the protection of the War God’s power!
However, the sword hilt was different. It inherently had no consciousness and was incomplete, so the force within was not substantial enough to deter a Martial Emperor Realm power!
To acquire this Divine Weapon required great destiny, or perhaps the ancient War God had foreseen this through powerful Divination, selecting an heir for the Divine Weapon, making it difficult for others to obtain it.
Thinking of this, Ye Luo walked over, and as he approached, that power of the War God softened.
After all, the sword blade within Ye Luo contained the War God’s essence blood, so the power originally belonging to the War God would naturally not reject him.
However, it was impossible for Ye Luo to acquire the sword hilt so easily!
As Ye Luo lightly touched that War God’s power, he immediately faced strong resistance! But of course, this resistance did not carry a killing intent; it rather seemed probing.
Only by breaking through this force would it be possible to obtain the sword hilt!
This also constituted the ancient War God’s test for Ye Luo.
Even though he possessed the sword blade, it was still necessary for his strength to reach the appropriate level to acquire the fragment of this Divine Weapon.
"In that case!" Ye Luo squinted his eyes; he didn’t have much time left; he could already hear the sounds of digging surrounding him. Obviously, those cultivators were about to break in, and clearly, it wasn’t just one or two of them, as Ye Luo also suspected whether the rock layers outside would crumble.
Then, Ye Luo held the Lingyun Sword in his hand and suddenly slashed at that force.
Zizi!
Instantly, the Sword Qi fell on that strength, emitting a teeth-aching zizi sound. Ye Luo wielded a sword strike with all his might, completely reaching the level of a Martial Emperor power! Moreover, it wasn’t just an ordinary Martial Emperor standard.
Finally, under the force of this sword, that power finally conceded.
But before Ye Luo could closely examine the sword hilt, it swiftly shot into his Dantian, and in the next moment, it fused with the sword blade.
Instantly, Ye Luo felt a powerful aura emanating from his Dantian.
Fortunately, this aura quickly concealed itself; otherwise, Ye Luo would have struggled to mask it with Mana, as it was too sharp.
The prowess of the Divine Weapon began to show initially, but of course, this was only two fragments, and there was still a long way to go to collect all the fragments of Mozi Sword.
However, the digging sounds became more pronounced, and Ye Luo knew those cultivators could break in at any moment. By then, breaking out would be wishful thinking for Ye Luo! After all, those who managed to come in were all extraordinarily powerful, and he might be annihilated by a combined attack.
Just as Ye Luo was in a bind, he suddenly noticed that trace of power left by the War God had not dissipated.
Of course, this force was overly domineering, even though it appeared gentle to Ye Luo, that was due to the ancient War God’s essence blood. If it were someone else, they would’ve been torn to fragments by now.
Seeing this, Ye Luo had a sudden inspiration and pulled out a broken sword from the Qiankun Ring. Ye Luo did not know the origin of this broken sword, but it was found in the Qiankun Ring of a Martial Emperor Realm cultivator he once defeated.
Subsequently, Ye Luo threw this broken sword into that War God’s power.
Even if this broken sword could not compare with the Divine Weapon, it was still a peerless weapon. Besides, others had never seen what the Divine Weapon truly looked like, so they naturally couldn’t tell real from fake!
After doing all this, Ye Luo circled around the force a few times, before nodding in satisfaction.
Just at this moment, there was a loud crash, and the outer rock layer collapsed!
On one hand, it was the result of those cultivators’ excavation, and on the other, because the fragments of the Divine Weapon had been collected by Ye Luo, the defensive power in the rock layers greatly diminished. Otherwise, those powerful adversaries would never have breached the rock layers so quickly.
