Chapter 1800: Armor and wings
The World Shattering Sword was an extraordinary cultivation technique, perfectly attuned to Cain’s nature and strengths. Not only would it greatly accelerate his cultivation speed, but it would also amplify the innate destructive capabilities of both his physical body and energy reserves.
Beyond mere enhancements, the technique promised mastery in channeling every single ounce of strength within his soul and body through his sword, ensuring devastating lethality in every strike. It was, without exaggeration, the perfect match for Cain’s Neo-Demon Body, which inherently thrived on overwhelming power and pure destruction.
"This one," Cain declared decisively, pointing toward the small stone tablet with absolute certainty, his eyes unwavering as he turned toward the Lord of the Void.
The ArchDeity regarded Cain’s choice with an expression that momentarily revealed hesitation—a small frown briefly appeared on his usually stoic face before it quickly vanished, replaced by reluctant acceptance.
"If that is your decision, you may take it," The Lord of the Void said slowly, his voice measured but firm."However, consider it a temporary loan. I acquired this particular treasure through extraordinary luck and nearly lost my life obtaining it. Although it does not align perfectly with my Dream Path, it remains extremely precious to me. Therefore, you must either return it within ten thousand years or exchange it for another cultivation technique of equivalent value."
Cain immediately nodded, fully comprehending the conditions. Certain cultivation techniques could easily be replicated or copied by someone of sufficient cultivation. However, natural phenomena-based techniques like the World Shattering Sword were unique, bound to singular artifacts or experiences. Only a cultivator who reached absolute mastery over it could duplicate its essence—something nearly impossible even for most Archdeities.
Acknowledging Cain’s agreement, the Lord of the Void waved his hand gracefully, causing the intricate runes and magical barriers safeguarding the stone tablet to deactivate. With solemn reverence, Cain carefully took hold of it, immediately sensing a powerful resonance within his soul.
Shortly after Cain made his choice, Meylin similarly reached a decision. Her selection was an elegant yet ominous cultivation treasure—a dark lotus composed of seven perfectly symmetrical layers, each emanating an aura of profound darkness.
"Ahhhh..." the Lord of the Void exhaled slowly, a trace of reluctance entering his voice as he noted her choice. Like Cain’s stone tablet, this lotus was a similarly unique and irreplaceable artifact.
