Chapter 765 Scheme & Proving Dao Artifact

The team immediately felt something was wrong because Huang Yuan"s sword, on par with Dao Ancestor, did not vanish after its owner"s death. On the contrary, the golden light emanating from its body became brighter.

A terrifying aura emanated from its body, shaking the surrounding s.p.a.ce. Without anyone controlling it, the sword rushed forward.

Swis.h.!.+

It was faster than anything Tie Gang and Yan Liling could react to. The sword then easily penetrated their formation before rus.h.i.+ng toward its target. The speed at which it traveled could only be described as numerous times infinite.

It was so fast that it basically ignored the innumerable distance of thousand of galaxies where the end of the formation was located. The sword headed directly toward the planet that was the center of the formation.

w.a.n.g Wei calmly watched the sword approaching; he did not move, so it appeared as if he could not react in time.

Many people watching the battle were shocked by the appearance of a Dao Artifact and thought the number one Heaven Chosen of this generation was about to fall.

And the people who could react to this sword secretly sighed that such a genius would fall because of a highly talented Artifact Refiner who secretly created a Dao Artifact.

Clink!

Shadow tentacle suddenly came out a person dressed in all black, deflecting the attack of the sword. Then, a beautiful woman stood in front of w.a.n.g Wei, protecting him.

It was w.a.n.g Ju.

Although she was on a mission, the clone she left sensed something, so she used Shadow Switching to switch places with the clone before blocking this attack.

After her shadow tentacles prevented the sword from accomplis.h.i.+ng its tasks, the sword rapidly disintegrated as if it had never existed.

"So, Huang Yuan was a p.a.w.n," thought w.a.n.g Wei before closing his eyes and continuing to maintain his best state.

Li Jun appeared before the team.

"I"m glad you"re okay," said Yan Liling. "What happened to you?"

"He imprisoned me in a strange dimension," explained Li Jun. "However, he underestimated my strength." He did not take long to escape his imprisonment and even saw the battle with Tie Gang; he"s the one who calmed the latter down through Divine Sense Communication.

However, Li Jun decided to remain behind the scene in case an accident occurred. However, he did not expect Huang Yuan"s trump card to be a Dao Artifact.

"You were careless," said Yan Liling.

"Indeed. Although I looked like I was cautious, deep down, I became arrogant because of my strength," agreed Li Jun; he should never have been caught so easily.

"Not only that, but you also care too much about your soldiers," added his wife. "They are trained soldiers, prepared to die. And on this battlefield, not many of them will survive. You should accept this fact."

Li Jun paused briefly before nodding, "You"re right."

She patted his shoulder, "After this battle, you can easily revive most of them."

Li Jun nodded while Yan Liling gave Li Jun, Tie Gang, and even w.a.n.g Ju pills to recover. Li Jun did not really need it, but Tie Gang and w.a.n.g Ju did–especially the latter. To stop that sword, she needed to enter a special state where she could borrow w.a.n.g Wei"s Dao Ancestor level strength.

And such a state was taxing on her body, so the pills were necessary for her current state. Yan Liling then proceeded to fix the formation.

Northern Quadrant:

Mo Xingyun opened her eyes in surprise.

"She stopped the attack? It should be the result of Shadow Ruler"s Technique," he pondered. "However, it does not matter since my objective is complete."

Mo Xingyun already planned everything; she"s the one who prepared Huang Yuan"s fortunate encounter that would allow him to escape his reliance on the Life and Death Book and even secretly led him to it.

She knew he would have no choice but to agree to her proposal to attack w.a.n.g Wei"s group, using him as cannon fodder. After all, who can resist the temptation of strength and power? 

Adding the fact the book had become Huang Yuan"s Heart Demon because of all the rumors he was nothing without it, the plan was easy to accomplish.

As for the Dao Artifact? It"s nothing but a projection of the real weapon in her hand. Weapon Projection is a technique used mainly by Great Emperors to create Emperor Artifacts.

There are a few ways that the artifacts used by all Emperor Lineages came about. The first one is the Great Emperor left their Dao Proving Artifact; this method is used since many Emperors can recast it after ascending to the upper dimension. They can use better materials and refining techniques found in the Eternal Ascension World.

However, most will not use this method since their Proving Dao Artifact has accompanied them for most of their cultivation journey; thus, they won"t change it for sentimental reasons. Of course, they will still reforge it after ascending.

The second method is to use Weapon Projection; they created a projection of their Proving Dao Artifact before using countless materials–mainly Emperor Materials–to condense the projection into actual weapons.

There are variations of this method. Some poor Great Emperors will refine a Quasi-Emperor Tier replica of their Proving Dao Artifact and fuse their projection with the replica before slowly nouris.h.i.+ng it with their Grand Dao Source.

This method takes more time and requires fewer resources, but the weapons created in this manner are usually weaker in comparison.

There are a variety of Emperor Artifacts. The weaker ones are simply nourished from Quasi-Emperor Tier artifacts, while the strongest ones are refined by Emperors who proved the Dao using Refining Dao.

Mo Xingyun looked in the distance, deep in thought. It was a risky move to expose the fact she had a Dao Artifact. However, she wanted to know what level w.a.n.g Wei"s Nine Extremity Foundation reached.

"So far, it seems he reached 5-Root."

If this information was accurate, then she was confident in her victory since the power of her weapon was beyond 5-Root but not close to Third Cla.s.s. So, if she attacked with all her strength, she had a high chance of winning.

"However, I have to worry about that Divine Punishment Thunder."

One of her biggest worries is the Divine Punishment Thunder from the Dao Opening Sect and the auspicious signs from the Di Clan. 

"My intuition tells me these two things are unknown variables."

A look of worried flashed in Mo Xingyun"s devilishly charming eyes. Everything proceeded smoothly until these two variables suddenly manifested.

"Should I work with these traitors?" thought Mo Xingyun. "No, my situation is already terrible. If I"m labeled as a traitor, things will become worse."

The Heaven-Devouring Emperor died because many Emperors from the Myriad Emperor World besieged him after knowing what he did. However, if he is discovered he is affiliated with the Seven Moons, he will truly die once the era of these parasites ends.

"I don"t need to worry so much. The only reason I"m going to the trouble of partic.i.p.ating in this battle is to revive myself as swiftly as possible and reach my peak state in one fell swoop. 

"So, it does not matter whether I fail since it only means it will take more time to revive myself."

It is not easy for an Emperor to revive themselves after death. The process takes time and resources. However, with the proper technique and resources, the time needed can be drastically decreased. The Heaven Will is one of the best resources for this task.

As long as the Devour Emperor gets his hand on it, he can immediately revive himself and return to his peak state; there is a slight chance he might increase a few percentages of his Devour Grand Dao Source.

"More importantly, I can revive in the lower dimension and have another chance."

The Heaven Devour Emperor could not help but think about the thing inside the Swallowing Zone.

"This time, I don"t need to use extreme means to get my hands on it. I can wait until it is complete. Better yet, I can sacrifice the Nine Devil G.o.d World"s world source along with a few million Greater, Middle, and Lower Thousand Worlds."

After readjusting his state of mind, Heaven Devour Emperor felt more at ease. He gazed at the Western Quadrant.

"It might be difficult to force Chen Chen into a p.a.w.n to test Di Tian"s situation."

After what happened to Huang Yuan, the latter will be on guard. Furthermore, Chen Chen suddenly disappeared before the battle and did not even partic.i.p.ate in the Clean-up. So, he had no chance to scheme against him.

"Huang Yuan is truly a waste. According to the original plan, he had a high chance of surviving. I guess I should not blame since even I didn"t notice Fan Qianhan"s anomaly."

In his current state, he was limited by Mo Xingyun"s body and cultivation realm. Although he could do some unique things, there were too many limits. Furthermore, there was no trust between the members of the Fate Suppressing Alliance, so he never came into contact with Fan Qianhan.

"Since Chen Chen is unreliable, should I find another chess piece to test Di Tian?"

He still had a chance to use a sneak attack on Di Tian if the latter did not know about him. However, it would depend on whether his Nine Extremity Foundation was similar to w.a.n.g Wei.

"He is either similar to w.a.n.g Wei or weaker than him. So, let"s see if a sneak attack will be successful."

Mo Xingyun made a decision and immediately prepared.
