Mister Wang and his son immediately stood behind Xuan Ji, who remained seated on the rock while enjoying warm tea. They felt that the safest place at the moment was around Xuan Ji, as his Cultivation base was the Eternal Realm.
"S-so big, that monster! This is the first time I've seen a monster that big." Mister Wang's jaw almost dropped as the mountain-sized monster had a turtle shell, but its head turned out to be two snake heads, one red and one white.
From atop the shell of the mountain-sized monster jumped more than two hundred various kinds of monsters. The most numerous were a pack of black wolf monsters enveloped in Demonic spiritual energy and ape monsters armed with spears, swords, and bows.
"Exterminate them and take their monster crystals for yourselves!" shouted Zhao Wu as he darted towards the monster running at the front.
As the blade of Zhao Wu's sword was about to hit the monster, suddenly a human shadow passed in front of him, and the monster he was about to slash was split in two first.
Zhao Wu's forehead creased, and he wondered who had done it. When his gaze focused forward, dozens of monsters had already been split in two, and the human shadow was moving rapidly.
"Hmm, that's the Assassin martial art that Miss Li Ruoqing learned last night. Looks like she's mastered it," Zhao Wu muttered. His heart was pounding; as the fifth strongest Heavenly Emperor Realm warrior in Huayang City, he felt ashamed to be defeated by a junior much younger than him. "Well, I don't need to hide my strongest martial art," he muttered again.
The giant Tiger Avatar suddenly roared loudly, and dozens of wolf monsters suddenly froze. The roar contained spiritual energy that made opponents suffer a five-breath immobilization effect.
Zhao Wu swung his sword at the pack of wolf monsters. A crescent-shaped red spiritual energy shot towards them, then dozens of the wolf monsters were engulfed in flames.
"Ha-ha-ha... I'm evening the score with you, Miss Ruoqing." Zhao Wu chuckled.
However, Li Ruoqing did not respond to Zhao Wu's words. She continued to dart towards the strongest monster.
Gu Haitang, who was still on the edge of the lake created by Xuan Ji, frowned. "Those Heavenly Emperors actually have quite formidable martial arts, especially that young girl and the man with the big sword. It seems I have to supply more Demonic spiritual energy to get rid of them and make that Eternal Realm intervene."
From Gu Haitang's hand flowed an enormous amount of Demonic spiritual energy toward the mountain-sized monster.
Since the battle between the two sides began, the mountain-sized monster hadn't moved because no opponent had tried to attack it. Zhao Wu's side also thought the mountain-sized monster was not dangerous and its function was only as a transporter for the hundreds of attacking monsters.
The surface of the ground suddenly shook violently after the mountain-sized monster received the enormous Demonic spiritual energy. Black fog enveloped its entire body, so that its shell and two snake heads were no longer visible.
Zhao Wu stopped attacking; he felt something was wrong with the mountain-sized monster.
From the black fog, a black fire suddenly erupted, shooting out like a giant tsunami.
"Use your martial art Avatars to deflect that black fire!" Zhao Wu shouted loudly.
His Tiger Avatar immediately shielded Zhao Wu while spewing fire spiritual energy.
However, Li Fei didn't have time to use his martial art Avatar because he was currently engaged in a fierce battle against the spear-wielding Ape monster and the sword-wielding Ape monster. He was constantly forced to defend without being able to counterattack.
"Damn it! It seems I'm too old, my movements are getting slower," Li Fei muttered with a wry smile as he saw the black flames almost reaching him.
A black shadow suddenly appeared beside Li Fei and pulled him back hundreds of steps, then the black shadow jumped a hundred spears high from the ground.
"Li Ruoqing!" Li Fei was amazed to see the young girl who usually felt weak now performing amazingly and moving back and forth, splitting monsters with a single slash of her dagger.
The White Eagle Avatar spread its wings, which reached a hundred paces wide. Li Ruoqing then jumped onto the back of her martial art Avatar and threw the Shadow Dagger towards the mountain-sized monster enveloped in black fog.
The Shadow Dagger suddenly transformed into a Hundred Daggers. The size of the daggers also increased to a hundred paces long and ten paces wide.
"Hmm, it's just getting bigger, that's the advantage of that expensive Artifact. It seems like I lost money buying it, moreover, my disciple has to expend a huge amount of spiritual energy to use her ultimate technique," Xuan Ji complained. Even Li Ruoqing's innate wind spiritual energy didn't envelop the blade of the ancient Shadow Dagger Artifact.
"A-ancestor Mu Ji... maybe the hidden mechanism can't be triggered yet because Miss Ruoqing's Cultivation base hasn't reached the Eternal Realm yet," Mister Wang replied defensively.
He was afraid that Xuan Ji would cancel the purchase of the ancient artifact. If the ancient Shadow Dagger Artifact turned out to be just a failed product weapon, then even if it was auctioned, the price would definitely be very cheap.
However, Xuan Ji was suddenly dumbfounded. The black fog that enveloped the mountain-sized monster suddenly disappeared, and a hundred large daggers could be seen embedded in the monster's body.
"Can that artifact penetrate any magical defense? Even the giant turtle's shell looks like a cracker," Xuan Ji muttered.
Mister Wang's jaw also dropped open, then he said, "Was that Shadow Dagger forged from the legendary Warrior's Sword that can cut through anything even though it has no spiritual energy?"
"What kind of legend is that?" Xuan Ji was surprised to hear it. How could there be a sword that could cut anything without using spiritual energy?
"Oh, it's just a legend that is said to have originated from an era long before the Martial Alliance. At that time, all the landmasses in the world were still united...." Mister Wang recounted the fairy tale enthusiastically.
In those days, everyone was born a Cultivator and reached the Eternal Realm easily. However, because everyone was so strong, martial artists began to create spiritual weapons to defeat their enemies easily. It is said that the ancient Artifacts, whose crafting methods have been lost, are their legacy.
However, the stories of the prowess of the Cultivators from the ancient era have long been lost, except for the story of a young man born without a Dantian.
Although destined to be unable to become a martial artist, the young man was not heartbroken. He continued to train his physique until it was as hard as rock, then one day a blinding light appeared near the mountain where he usually trained. There, he found a lump of molten iron.
The young man then forged the molten iron into a sword.
