Chapter 380 - 381 Chapter 386 Revival of the Great Emperorʼs Holy Weapon

381: Chapter 386: Revival of the Great Emperor’s Holy Weapon 381: Chapter 386: Revival of the Great Emperor’s Holy Weapon The Dragon Transformation Pool was filled with crystal-clear, milky-white water from which a fragrant aroma wafted.

The shriveled body lay motionless, all signs of life apparently gone.

Since ancient times, beauties have lamented their twilight years, not allowing heroes to witness their decline.

Jiang Taixu: his fate was twisted, a hero at his journey’s end.

He no longer possessed the commanding presence he once held over the world, only endless desolation remained.

Ye Fan was greatly indebted to him, having learned the Dou Character Technique of the nine secret arts.

Seeing Jiang Taixu’s true body now, he was deeply moved.

The Divine King’s vital flame was all but extinguished, yet he had once transmitted techniques through a wall.

How powerful must his will have been to achieve such a feat?

He did it all to ensure the nine secret arts would not be lost.

Upon understanding this, Ye Fan felt a heartfelt respect for the old Divine King.

His body was almost entirely withered, his divine scan on the verge of dissipating.

Who could achieve such a thing?

What Jiang Taixu had accomplished was nothing short of miraculous; he had imprinted supreme secret techniques onto the stone wall.

His current state…

Ye Fan frowned.

Despite having the Divine Spring and life-saving divine medicine, the situation did not look optimistic.

“These past few days, we’ve been using spiritual medicines to try and stabilize him, but there’s been almost no effect,” Jiang Yun frowned.

They had already reserved divine medicine seeds but were worried that the medicine’s potency might be too strong for the old Divine King in his weakened state, leaving them in a dilemma.

Moreover, he had already received reports that the owner of the divine medicine seeds was the sacred body, a fact that shocked the divine city.

Now, with the owner being pursued and their location unknown, the auction’s continuation was uncertain.

“Use the Divine Spring,” Ye Fan proposed.

No one knew better than him how miraculously powerful the Divine Spring’s effects were.

In the past, he too had nearly died after exhausting his lifespan in the Ancient Desolation Forbidden Land.

He had then struggled into a Divine Spring Pool, soaking for the better part of a day before slowly recovering and regaining his vitality.

This spring water…

Jiang Yun’s heart was notably unsettled.

There are seven Great Ancient Desolation Forbidden Lands in the Eastern Wastelands.

Only in the deepest parts of such places might one find a Divine Spring.

Extracting it is nearly impossible, as places like Undying Mountain are far too perilous.

“This is a great favor!” Jiang Yun said, cupping his hands seriously.

“Who would selflessly offer Divine Spring for another’s use?

This is exceptionally rare, life-saving water.” “Senior, there’s no need for this.

Please, hurry and save the Divine King,” Ye Fan replied.

Silently, nine figures appeared in the depths of the Underground Palace.

Each was ancient and frail, their hair as white as snow, making it difficult to determine their true ages.

After inspecting the Divine Spring, all nine elders nodded, their expressions joyful.

They then settled into silent meditation around the Dragon Transformation Pool.

The jade bottle hung above the Dragon Transformation Pool, crystal droplets flowing out.

Simultaneously, a stream of Innate Divine Light shot from the heads of the nine elders.

This light melded into the liquid, refining it into Innate Essence Qi, which then infused the old Divine King’s shriveled body.

The Divine Spring was too scarce, no more than half a bowl at most.

They wished not to waste a single iota of the Essence Qi.

The nine elders worked together, refining only one drop at a time, injecting it bit by bit into Jiang Taixu’s body.

Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but flush with shame.

In the past, he had been far too wasteful, treating the Divine Spring like ordinary water and gulping it down by the mouthful, never exercising such meticulous care.

It took until late into the night to refine this half bowl of Divine Spring, and the process was still ongoing.

The nine elders were pale and looked as if they were about to collapse.

They truly dedicated themselves, urging their own Innate Life Essence to blend into the Divine Spring and prolong the old Divine King’s life.

After all, the spring water was not divine medicine.

While good enough to condition the body, it was not a holy divine relic truly capable of changing fate.

CLANG!

A loud bell clang resounded endlessly, shaking the vast Underground Palace.

The expressions of those before the Dragon Transformation Pool changed.

“A peerless expert has come to attack!” “Who is this?

With the Hengyu Divine Furnace suppressing the Dragon Transformation Pool, they still dare to come and kill the Divine King?

What kind of terrifying figure could this be?” Sovereign Jiang Yun’s complexion changed.

The enemy dared to come; they were clearly fearless and possessed a way to retreat unharmed.

Even Ye Fan was alarmed.

Indeed, ruthless figures abounded in this world.

To think they would wish to prevent Jiang Taixu’s revival, even attempting to intrude while Extreme Dao Weapons stood guard.

“Activate the Hengyu Divine Furnace!” Jiang Yun commanded.

He himself stood before the Dragon Transformation Pool, unwavering, guarding it resolutely, unwilling to move a single step.

Clearly, a peerless expert was specifically controlling the Divine Furnace elsewhere.

BUZZ!

The void roared, like a torn sheet of cloth being violently shaken.

Even the Underground Palace was impacted as if by a great earthquake; only the Dragon Transformation Pool remained serene.

At this moment, everyone in the divine city was shocked.

From afar, crimson radiance soared into the sky, and a phoenix cry shook the heavens, as if a Divine Phoenix were being born from flames, soaring through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

An unimaginable pressure instantly enveloped the entire city.

No one could resist it; many collapsed to the ground almost simultaneously.

The souls of numerous cultivators trembled.

They couldn’t stop themselves from prostrating in worship, an involuntary instinct as if facing a deity, filled with innate awe.

Extreme Divine Power!

Everyone was stunned into speechlessness.

The lips of many older figures quivered.

The Taiyang God Furnace, forged from Phoenix Blood Red Gold, became the sole focal point between heaven and earth.

Though no one saw its true form, its pressure permeated the very bones of every individual, an unforgettable sensation for life.

How could human strength contend against such divine might?

A body of flesh and blood simply could not endure it; no one could withstand it!

This offered a glimpse into the supreme bearing of the Ancient Great Emperors!

For this was merely their weapon, far from representing the Great Emperors themselves.

In the depths of the Underground Palace, beside the Dragon Transformation Pool, Ye Fan was also shocked.

However, he was not suppressed; this area remained tranquil, yet he still felt a tremor in his heart.

So this is Extreme Divine Power…

he muttered to himself.

“This isn’t the true Extreme Divine Power.

The Divine Furnace has merely been awakened; no force has been unleashed,” Jiang Yun said.

The terrifying power of the Hengyu Divine Furnace hasn’t even been demonstrated yet?

Ye Fan was truly astounded.

He could no longer imagine how powerful an Extreme Dao Weapon truly was.

Previously, he heard it could shatter heavens and evaporate vast oceans.

He had thought it an exaggeration, but now it seemed justified.

It wielded a supreme, unfathomable might.

“In the hands of ordinary people, an Extreme Dao Holy Weapon is merely an inert object.

Only a sovereign can awaken it.

However, unleashing its divine might requires even greater divine energy,” Jiang Yun explained.

This… Ye Fan was in a daze.

If a Saint Master Level figure wielded such a weapon, they could indeed dominate the world, fearing no one.

“The invaders have all been annihilated, turned to dust.

But they weren’t truly human; rather, they were four Ancient Corpses,” someone reported from beside the Dragon Transformation Pool.

“Is there anything noteworthy about those Ancient Corpses?” Jiang Yun asked.

“Conservatively estimated, they were all sovereigns who perished in ancient times.

A terrifying figure is controlling them.” Everyone by the Dragon Transformation Pool drew a sharp breath.

The remains of ancient sovereigns were not easily found, yet this attacker possessed four.

This indicated an enemy of terrifyingly powerful origins.

Jiang Yun sensed the gravity of the situation and said, “To sacrifice four powerful avatars merely for probing—this is a formidable enemy!” Someone nearby voiced their doubt, “Could they possibly have the confidence to breach an Extreme Dao Weapon?

Unless a Great Emperor is resurrected!” Jiang Yun’s expression was grave.

He ordered, “Command everyone to be on high alert!

Especially near the Taiyang God Furnace.

Besides myself, anyone else who dares to approach—no matter who they are—will be destroyed by Extreme Divine Power!” “But what if…” someone began timidly.

“I have already said, regardless of who it is, if they dare approach, kill them without exception!” Jiang Yun’s expression was icy and extremely stern.

Later that night, the bells tolled loudly again, their sound echoing throughout the divine city and awakening everyone.

The Underground Palace was thrown into greater chaos.

Once again, invaders came.

They utilized a pair of humanoid weapons cultivated from their own essence blood, already interwoven with the power of Law.

These were turned to ashes by the Hengyu Divine Furnace.

“It’s not the same group, but they are just as terrifying.

To willingly sacrifice such weapons, they must be powerhouses of at least Saint Master Level.” The Underground Palace was tense, like storms about to break.

Everyone felt the gravity of the situation as the probing continued.

It was almost certain that a thunderous blow would eventually strike.

“What are they relying on?

How can they confront the Taiyang God Furnace?

How can they oppose a Great Emperor’s Holy Weapon?” The Jiang Family members were puzzled.

“I fear we’re in great trouble…” Jiang Yun said, his expression worried.

“Someone might come wielding a peak weapon to confront our Jiang Family’s Holy Furnace.” “What?

How is this possible!

Who on earth are they?

Do they intend to provoke a war between Sacred Lands?” All the elders before the Dragon Transformation Pool were astounded.

Ye Fan was also speechless.

Things had actually escalated to this point—a confrontation between Extreme Dao Holy Weapons was about to occur.

This was earth-shattering news, enough to shock the world.

“A war between Sacred Lands… How many tens of thousands of years has it been since such a major event occurred?

Do they truly wish for rivers of blood to flow across the land?!” “Does the revival of a Divine King of our Jiang Family truly warrant such a massive conflict?

Aren’t they afraid of plunging the world back into its darkest age?!” The elders of the Jiang Family were all shocked, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

“Firstly, for the nine secret arts.

Secondly, someone might be intentionally trying to incite a war among the Sacred Lands,” Jiang Yun frowned.

The attackers might not all be pinnacle powerhouses from the Eastern Wastelands.

It was highly likely that some were peerless figures from other regions; this was Jiang Yun’s true concern.

This night was incredibly tense.

The enemy’s strength surpassed expectations.

If someone came wielding an Extreme Dao Holy Weapon and a battle ensued, the divine city would cease to exist!

Approaching dawn, an extremely terrifying pressure emanated from the depths of the Underground Palace.

The Jiang Family members’ expressions changed; they were all too familiar with it.

It was a Great Emperor’s Holy Weapon reviving!

“Quickly, activate the Hengyu Divine Furnace!” Jiang Yun shouted.

“Are they insane?!

To actually dare use an Extreme Dao Holy Weapon in opposition!

Who are these people?

Don’t they understand the terrifying consequences?!” The expressions of all the Jiang Family elders changed.

BUZZ!

The void trembled, and the fabric of heaven and earth seemed to be torn apart.

An overwhelming pressure surged forth, penetrating deep into the Underground Palace.

The Hengyu Divine Furnace, cast from Phoenix Blood Red Gold, radiated brilliantly as it, too, revived.

A Divine Phoenix soared upwards, its cry shaking the Nine Heavens and resounding through the highest clouds.

“Which Extreme Dao Holy Weapon is this?!” all the Jiang Family members exclaimed in shock.

Above the Underground Palace, the attacking holy weapon rapidly revived.

Its divine might, as vast as an ocean, surged forth, causing even the Dragon Transformation Pool to tremble.

The milky-white water splashed high into the air.

“Protect Ancestor Divine King!” “They’re truly mad!

Willing to risk a war between Sacred Lands—do they want to return to the dark ages?

Our Jiang Family is not afraid!” Many shouted, resolved to fight to the death.

No matter how powerful the invading enemy, they would absolutely not retreat.
