Chapter 642 Divine Artifact
As his voice fell, an elder in the Supreme Saint Late Stage from Heavenly Sword Gate shook his head, "How could it be a Divine Artifact? Even Great Emperors on the Divine Wilderness Continent have a hard time possessing one."
When these words came out, many Supreme Saint experts were abruptly pulled back to reality.
"That's true, Divine Artifacts are so rare, only Great Emperor-level fighters would possess them."
"At most, it might be a Supreme Dao Artifact that's been augmented with a Special Formation," another expert speculated.
At this moment, Qinchuan's voice rose again, capturing everyone's attention, "How dare you insult someone of this young master's people at will?"
Only then did everyone regain their senses, turning their gaze to Qinchuan, who had appeared from the void.
"A mere kid at the Saint Realm?" Many Supreme Saints clarified Qinchuan's Realm.
"I knew it couldn't be a Divine Artifact. A kid at the Saint Realm, at most, might not even be able to bring out a Supreme Dao Artifact, let alone a mere Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifact with a Special Formation, it's all for show."
Each of the many Supreme Saints thought to themselves.
While there had been a slight doubt before, they were now certain that the scroll was not any Divine Artifact. They did not believe that the treasure flying from Qinchuan's hands could be any earth-shattering Magical Treasure.
By some special means, it is possible to impose a might surpassing its level onto the original Magic Artifact, although it is somewhat troublesome, it isn't impossible.
"Eh? Isn't that one of those four waste... those four who pretended to be the sons of the Heavenly Sword Gate?"
Qinchuan and Ji Huo'er were standing together with three others, and some cultivators in the distance recognized Qinchuan.
The cultivator had originally wanted to say one of the four wastes but, recalling Ye Shiyi and Ji Huo'er's combat strength, it didn't seem right to call them wastes, and thus he corrected himself.
"It's really him! Wasn't he at the early stages of Dragon Transformation? How come in just over ten days, he has reached the Holy's Realm?"
Some cultivators who had ascended the mountain with Qinchuan noticed his sudden surge in Cultivation Level, leading to a mix of confusion and astonishment.
"Xuan Ji, go take care of this foolhardy guy," Qinchuan said indifferently, his majestic and domineering voice rising above the noisy field.
"What's he talking about?"
"He actually thinks he can handle Elder Bai with just a Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifact?" a flicker of light passed through the eyes of the many Supreme Saint experts.
"Doesn't know how to spell death, just a Saint dares to speak so arrogantly, he will pay for his words and deeds."
The scroll floated above Ye Xuanji's head, he clasped his hands together, and respectfully said, "Yes! Young Master!"
"Old fool, continue!"
Just now, Qinchuan's sudden appearance had interrupted the combat between the two, and in a few short breaths, Ye Xuanji's wounds had already healed by a large margin; seeing this, he shouted loudly.
Previously, he was oppressed by Elder Bai to the point of being unable to catch his breath, but now he was beginning to take the offensive.
Ye Xuanji's form was like a dragon, the scroll in his hand unfolded, and a gigantic Bagua diagram emerged from it, hanging above the azure sky.
This Bagua pattern was vast and magnificent, covering the sun and obscuring the entire sky.
Under the Bagua, the eight trigraphs of heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, wind, mountain, and lake each transformed different shining lights into screens and energies, pouring down like curtains of rain.
The wind howled, lightning flashed, thunder roared, flames blazed, and colossal waves surged, as eight different energies burst forth from the Bagua diagram.
In an instant, the mysterious power of Heavenly Mystery completely permeated this part of the world.
"Heavenly Sword resounds, ten thousand swords return to the source, come forth!"
Even a powerful figure like Elder Bai felt a hint of pressure as he displayed the divine skills of Heavenly Sword Gate.
Thousands of Spirit Swords came forth all at once.
"Elder Bai is so cautious; he actually used the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source!"
The many Supreme Saint experts were all astonishment.
"Boom!"
Their speeds were so fast they reached the extreme, with Spirit Swords colliding with the scroll.
Thunder exploded, lightning intertwined, rumbling throughout this part of the world.
```
"Hiss, hiss, hiss"
To everyone's surprise, the ten thousand spirit swords in the sky began to collapse at an incredible speed.
Within an instant, the ten thousand spirit swords were directly struck into oblivion by the terrifying lightning flashes.
The Bagua Dao Scroll had actually completely suppressed the technique of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Source that was executed with a Supreme Dao Artifact.
Moreover, the horrifying energy seemed to grow eyes, rolling through the void directly towards Elder Bai.
"Boom!"
The eight types of energies, quick as lightning, instantly blasted onto Elder Bai's body.
The next moment, Elder Bai's body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist, sending shivers down the spine.
Elder Bai had suddenly perished.
All this happened too quickly.
Just one moment ago, Elder Bai was still brimming with confidence, condensing sword qi, using the Divine Skill Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Source; the next, he was directly suppressed by the Bagua Dao Scroll, his body and dao annihilated.
All this occurred in the blink of an eye, too fast even for many Supreme Saints to comprehend, let alone Ye Xuanji who had used the Bagua Dao Scroll himself.
"Is this... the power of a divine artifact?"
The many Supreme Saints were stunned, and after a long pause, the crowd reacted with a collective gasp.
Looking towards Ye Xuanji and the scroll in his hands, they were filled with disbelief.
"That... Could it really be..."
"Heavens, it truly is the legendary divine artifact!"
At this moment, all the Supreme Saint Experts went mad.
Originally, upon seeing the scroll for the first time and feeling its terrifying pressure, some had harbored doubts.
But at that time, no one believed that a Holy Cultivator could actually present a divine artifact.
Now, however, no one could deny it; that scroll was indeed a divine artifact.
The many powerful beings who had snapped back to reality were now revealing avaricious glints in their eyes.
This was a divine artifact!
"You bastards! How dare you kill people from our three great sects, are you tired of living!"
Suddenly, a cold and indifferent voice erupted from the void as an elderly woman with white hair staggered forward, her murky eyes radiating the aura of death.
She was an elder of the Xuanhuang Sect, named Long Ying.
Elder Bai was a member of the Heavenly Sword Gate, and she was from the Xuanhuang Sect; the two were not related by blood or friendship. With Elder Bai dead, she was the first to jump out.
By this time, everyone had realized what she was aiming for.
She was clearly looking for an excuse to act and to seize the divine artifact.
The numerous Supreme Saints quickly came to the same conclusion.
"Right, where did this dog come from? We three great sects are branches of the same tree. How dare you kill an elder of the Heavenly Sword Gate; this is a blatant slap in the face to the Spirit Dragon Holy Land."
An elder of the Spirit Dragon Holy Land's Heavenly Branch, named Quan Zong, stepped forward, staring coldly at Ye Xuanji.
The Heavenly Sword Gate had suffered too great a loss on this trip to Mount Sumeru.
The Thirteen Young Masters, Zhou Duo, Bai Shengyi, Li Cunxian, as well as two elders, Bai Yuan and Bai Fang, all perished at the hands of these few.
When the elders of the Heavenly Sword Gate saw that the Xuanhuang and Spirit Dragon sects had not acted earlier but now eagerly jumped out at the sight of a divine artifact, they couldn't help but silently curse them for being despicable.
But at this moment, they had no time for sorrow or anger. Many elders of the Heavenly Sword Gate stepped forward, surrounding Ye Xuanji in a circle: "You old fool, for killing an elder of our Heavenly Sword Gate, today we will tear you to pieces."
Afterward, another elder from the Heavenly Sword Gate pointed to Qinchuan and the other three above in the void.
"Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Gate, heed my command, seize these four!"
