I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Jade Shattering

They guessed correctly.

Though Han Zhan had completely mastered the Void Origin, able to replicate Black Holes and Devouring Power,

he was ultimately limited by his realm, and the power he could unleash was not comparable.

The three present each possessed Tier Nine strength, not as formidable as Li Shutong, but still Tier Nine.

”The Void Black Hole has the power to tear space apart, be careful they might use this opportunity to escape,” an electronic synthetic voice warned again inside the Doomsday Fortress.

As soon as the words were spoken, dozens of special instruments the size of cubes shot out from his body.

These special instruments either stabbed into the ground or floated in the air, completely covering the area.

”These are Space Stabilizers,” the synthetic voice explained.

The reason for carrying them was twofold: to counter the Void’s special talent abilities, and because Lin Jingxuan, the commander of the Second War Zone, also had space-related talents.

To prevent any accidents, he specially prepared these Space Stabilizers to keep the space stable.

After doing all that, sure enough, the space torn around Han Zhan began to calm, still with some folds but no longer breakable.

”You cannot escape, Han Zhan. You’re a smart person; given the current situation, leaving with me and returning to Can Shang Company is your best choice,” this time, the voice from the Doomsday Fortress was no longer synthetic but that of a middle-aged man.

”Given the relationship between the Shang Family and the Li Family, we won’t make things difficult for you. On the contrary, we’ll arrange for you and Shang Siteng to complete a contract. She’s awakened her E Level talent, the Nuwa Stone! She’s always been fond of you and wants to be your wife.”

This sudden revelation from Can Shang Company was incredibly sincere, seemingly genuine.

However, Han Zhan had no intention of agreeing.

”What do you take us for? Goods, or valuable commodities? To be picked at will, even less than livestock, is this the arrogance of you upper echelon people?”

”Survival of the fittest, that’s the way of the world. Otherwise, someone as strong as Li Shutong wouldn’t still perish here; what use is it to be a hero?”

Yes, what use is it to be a hero.

If the heroes you save are just a bunch of ingrates, then it’s better not to be one sooner than later.

”There are three Tier Nines on the other side, all stronger than me. The space has been stabilized, there’s no ordinary way to leave,” said Gongyang Jin beside Han Zhan.

In this situation, she might be the only one who could stand up.

”I have a method.”

”After merging with the Xuanyuan Sword Spirit, I comprehended a new sword skill, though I haven’t had a chance to use it. If I use it, it can resolve the current predicament.”

”What is the cost?”

Han Zhan didn’t immediately agree but asked instead.

Han Zhan’s question warmed Gongyang Jin’s heart, indicating he still cared, not ignoring her feelings despite the presence of two beautiful ladies beside him.

Thinking of this, Gongyang Jin felt a bit happier.

”It will lower my realm. I’ve never used it, but I roughly know the cost. Using it will make my realm drop, though I don’t know by how many tiers,” Gongyang Jin answered truthfully.

”Can the fallen realm be restored?”

”It can be restored.”

After a moment, Han Zhan made up his mind and said, ”In that case, I’ll have to trouble you one more time.”

”Hehe, what trouble? Ah Zhan, open your eyes wide for this sword.”

”This sword is named Jade Shattering!”

...

The Void Black Hole conjured by Han Zhan sliced through dimension space, their conversation inaudible to the outside.

Louis XVII and the other two merely saw Han Zhan suddenly fall silent, no longer speaking.

After a long time, they gradually lost patience. Though they didn’t know how to break the Void Black Hole state, with their Tier Nine means, it might not be too hard. The three exchanged a look and decided to make a move.

At that moment.

A sword light shone from the endless void.

The explosive sword qi dimmed the world, leaving all who saw this sword in a white daze, completely losing the ability to think.

This sword, beyond Tier Nine!

Such a powerful sword, unparalleled in life.

Better shattered like jade than remained intact like tile!

Faced with such a sword, they could only curse their proximity, despite their efforts unable to fully escape!

The space stabilizers all evaporated in the sword light, and at the moment they turned to dust, the Black Hole abruptly collapsed and contracted.

It finally turned into a singularity, disappearing on the spot...

Seeing this scene, the faces of the three main figures darkened.

But at this moment, they couldn’t afford distractions.

The initial Biochemical Warrior and Louis XVII were fighting against the lingering sword intent with all their strength.

The Doomsday Fortress stood idly by as the sword qi destroyed all electronic components, numerous electronic components and mechanical armors fell off, scrapped, finally leaving only a mimic robot the height of a person to walk out from the ruins.

”Capture failed,” his tone devoid of emotion, ”It was meant to be a casual effort anyway, receiving one-third of Great Xia’s territories so suddenly, Can Shang Company has much to deal with, I won’t stay here to accompany you two any longer.”

”I will report everything that happened here to the master. As for the agreed Shennong Cauldron reward, you haven’t completed the payment, and Longevity Company won’t let this go lightly.”

The second to stand up was Biochemical Warrior 00.

The filthy crushed flesh torn by the sword intent kept falling off his body, with newly grown limbs sprouting quickly.

He said this simply and then decisively turned away.

The sparrow hoping to profit abundantly from the chaos was completely unnerved by the sudden accident, and Louis XVII smirked wryly.

The intense sword intent on him flickered, never fully removable.

He could almost be certain that the sword stroke from that woman named Gongyang Jin hit him at least fifty percent, clearly bearing personal grievances.

”Quite powerful indeed. If only I could refine you as my Contracted Spirit, I could definitely make that crucial step faster! Looking forward to our next meeting.”

Louis XVII muttered to himself, clutching the long sword wound on his chest, he slowly stood, stepping away one shuffling pace at a time.

Nearby, the noise flared up again.

Silhouettes rushed over here, seeing Louis XVII, they stood respectfully and saluted: ”Captain, sir!”

Louis XVII waved his hand, ”Appease the wounded civilians, immediately commence city takeover operations. Try to seize another chunk of Great Xia for me before those idiots who only know to develop high technology.”

At this, Louis XVII paused, adding, ”Any resistance is to be killed without mercy. No need for niceties with these lower-class people.”

”Yes!”

With the entry and exit of the triad forces, the Deep Blue Calamity gradually drew to a close.

This turmoil that changed world dynamics was later recorded in history books.

The statistics collected on casualties from this great war were harrowing.

On Great Xia’s side: Great Xia War God Li Shutong fell in battle, First War Zone head Wei Qing and Second War Zone head Lin Jingxuan severely injured, Third War Zone head Ye Qiu lost his mind, numerous Spirit Contract Masters across several war zones heavily casualties, two-thirds of national land lost, near extinction! Survivors and remaining forces retreated north as instructed by Li Shutong beforehand to defend the remaining one-third territory.

On the Insect Race’s side: the Transcendence Realm insect ”Void” fell, Void Origin seized. Tier Nine Insect Emperor Mad Beast and Tier Nine Insect Emperor Nightmare were killed. Large numbers of high-tier and low-tier insects died, vitality crippled; the Crimson Queen ascended to Tier Nine and successfully returned with human traitor Yi Fan, ruling the Sea of Blood.

On Longevity Company’s side: Biochemical Warrior 001 died, numerous Biochemical Warriors perished, vital energy heavily depleted.

On Can Shang Company’s side: no losses yet, but various nations greatly reduced their trust in Can Shang Company, decreasing dependency and buying strength. They secured one-third of Great Xia’s territory.

On the Imperial side: all Great Xia agents eradicated, Iron Blood Society annihilated, unable to cultivate a similarly powerful intelligence organization in a short time. They also secured one-third of Great Xia’s territory.

On the Old Covenant side: of the nine deployed Apostles, only one escaped with severe injuries, the Pope enraged, truly felt the painful consequence. The Twelve Apostles now reduced to two, nearly extinct, completely silenced, retreating to recuperate.

After this battle, besides the Great Xia War God Li Shutong’s jaw-dropping feats,

another name was remembered by most of the world.

He was Han Zhan, student of Li Shutong, twice nearly altering the course of battle, ultimately escaping alive from three Tier Nine powerhouses.

Such achievements brought Han Zhan widespread fame.
