Chapter 1523 Hidden Strength

1523 Hidden Strength

After the warning, Tian Qiyuan began counting down from ten.

”Ten!”

”Nine!”

”This bastardʼs truly gone insane! What does he think he can do to us with his measly True Immortal cultivation?!”

”Eight!”

”Donʼt force our hands, Exalted Blacksmith!”

”Seven!”

”Six!”

”Iʼll accept your offer!” One of them suddenly raised his hand before departing from the battlefield. In his eyes, it wasnʼt worth offending Tian Qiyuan for the Void Meteoroid Core, especially when he was already on the verge of giving up.

Tian Qiyuan acknowledged the person who accepted his offer with a nod and continued counting down.

”Five!”

”Do you really think heʼll live long enough to fulfill his promise to you?! Heʼll be killed by us long before then!”

”Four!”

”Iʼll also accept your offer, Exalted Blacksmith.” Another person agreed to withdraw from the fight. In his eyes, even if Tian Qiyuan is killed in this battle, he could simply pretend that nothing happened and return to fighting for the Void Meteoroid Core afterward.

”Three!”

”Two!”

”One!”

In the end, only two people accepted Tian Qiyuanʼs offer and left the battlefield. However, they didnʼt completely leave and spectated their fight from a distance.

”And zero. Starting now, whoever dares to block my path to the Void Meteoroid Core will be killed!”

Tian Qiyuan spoke in a grim voice before releasing his suppressed cultivation.

His cultivation base immediately soared to the peak of the God Ascension Realm, shocking the others, as they were only between the 7th level and the 8th level of the God Ascension Realm.

”This bastard has been hiding his cultivation this entire time?!”

”Fuck! We need to fight him together!”

The people there quickly formed a temporary alliance to get rid of Tian Qiyuan, who was the biggest threat, not to mention his earlier provocation. This made it easier for them to work together.

Seeing this, Tian Qiyuan retrieved an Empyrean-grade sword and laughed out loud, ”This will make things move quicker!”

His body suddenly surged with Sword Aura before turning into Enhanced Sword Aura. Then, after another push, it became Supreme Sword Aura, something only Zi Xuan had been able to achieve until now.

”Y-you can use Supreme Sword Aura?!” Zi Xuan was just as shocked as everyone else there, perhaps even more, as nobody there was more familiar with Supreme Sword Aura than her.

She had only discovered Supreme Sword Aura several thousand years ago, so it was quite shocking for a blacksmith who spends the majority of their time with a hammer to achieve Supreme Sword Aura.

Even the most talented Swordmasters, only slightly behind her, were nowhere near achieving Supreme Sword Aura.

While his enemies were in a daze, Tian Qiyuan swung his sword at them.

”Endless Sword Domain.”

Tens of thousands of swords enhanced with Supreme Sword Aura rushed at the small group of individuals before him.

They had been fighting for months before Tian Qiyuanʼs arrival without any clear winners. Yet, after showing up for less than an hour and with a single sword technique, Tian Qiyuan destroyed the bodies of half of the people there, forcing their souls to be homeless.

Tian Qiyuan did not immediately launch another attack. Instead, he casually approached the Void Meteoroid Core in the distance while ignoring the people around him.

The others were so stunned by what had just happened and his audacity to covet the material before he even finished killing a single one of them.
However, before any of them could act, Tian Qiyuan spoke in a cold voice, ”That was my last warning. I can guarantee that all of you will perish in the next attack.”

Despite his bold and arrogant words, nobody there doubted it. They exchanged glances with each other to see if they were going to continue fighting Tian Qiyuan, which would undoubtedly lead to their death.

Suddenly, two more presences appeared in the distance, fast approaching from two different directions.

These two figures appeared almost at the same time.

Zi Xuan immediately recognized the newcomers as none other than the Eternal Blacksmith and Heaven and Earth Blacksmith! Since the Void Meteoroid Core was akin to a holy grail for blacksmiths, it wasnʼt weird for these two powerhouses to show up.

Tian Qiyuan halted his movements upon their arrival. Like him, they were both at the peak of the God Ascension Realm.

”You… Exalted Blacksmith? Since when did you have such a profound cultivation base?”

Both of them were shocked when they sensed Tian Qiyuanʼs cultivation base that rivaled them. Even though Tian Qiyuan caught up to them in terms of crafting skills, neither of them was too bitter or envious because of his low cultivation base. However, it turned out Tian Qiyuan had been hiding his cultivation base this entire time!

ʼHow old is he, anyway? He only started making his presence known a few thousand years ago, but thereʼs no way heʼs only that old! Both his cultivation base and smithing capabilities have already reached the peak of this world!ʼ Eternal Blacksmith wore a pondering frown on his face.

Heaven and Earth Blacksmith also wore a similar look on his face. Both of them thought Tian Qiyuan was their junior, but with this new information, he might very well be their senior!

”I donʼt want to fight to death with my fellow Divine Blacksmiths, but I really need that Void Meteoroid Core. Is there any way for me to convince you two to step back?” Heaven and Earth Blacksmith was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

”What a coincidence. I also really need the Void Meteoroid Core.” Eternal Blacksmith said.

Tian Qiyuan narrowed his eyes at them.

After a moment of silence, he proposed, ”How about this? Instead of a deathmatch, letʼs fight as blacksmiths should. The three of us will compete against each other through our smithing skills, and the winner will take the Void Meteoroid Core.”

”Oh? What do you have in mind?” Eternal Blacksmithʼs interest was immediately piqued, as this was also an opportunity to see which of them was the best.

”Iʼm also listening.” Heaven and Earth Blacksmith said.
