#2163 - The Emperor's exclusive artifact appears
“Shi, you need to seize the time and complete the task as early as possible, leave our place, and go to the town.”
The old village chief took out the Demon Subduing Divine Sword, held it in both hands in front of Jun Wuxie, very solemnly, with a serious expression.
Jun Wuxie took the Demon Subduing Divine Sword, and information poured into his mind.
Demon Subduing Divine Sword, a special artifact exclusive to the Secret Realm, forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron, a weapon once used by Jian Feng, blessed by the Heavenly Dao. Later, due to the invasion of evil demons, the divine sword was severely damaged, the essence of meteorite iron was severely lost, the power of the Heavenly Dao's blessing was almost completely dormant, and its power was greatly reduced.
Current Rank—First-Order Sub-King Level Artifact.
Extraterrestrial meteorite iron can gradually repair the divine sword, making it a repairable artifact.
Almost at the same time, the classification of equipment ranks in the Secret Realm appeared in Jun Wuxie's mind.
Mundane, Rare, Excellent, King-Level, Emperor-Level, Ancient-Level, Primordial-Level, Supreme-Level, Unparalleled-Level!
The Demon Subduing Divine Sword, even in this state, with its rank greatly reduced, is still a Sub-King level.
One can imagine how high its rank was when it was intact.
Jun Wuxie could not infer its peak rank from its current state.
After all, this kind of thing is different from the artifacts of the outside world. The division of ranks is just what the master of the Secret Realm formulated according to his own ideas back then.
“Old Village Chief, did you mean something else by what you just said?” Jun Wuxie asked.
“Of course.”
The old village chief nodded and said, “According to the meaning of the Heavenly Dao Order, this time, it’s not just the cultivators from your world who are coming to our world, but also creatures from many other worlds will enter.
Later, when you arrive at the main city of the region, you will know that you will inevitably encounter them.
You know, to cultivate in this world, you need to follow the prescribed test route step by step.
Whoever reaches the central city of the region first is more likely to get there first.
Especially those important assessment tasks, once you miss the opportunity, resources will be tilted towards your competitors, the gap will be widened, and the road to competition in the future will become more and more powerless.”
“Thank you.”
Jun Wuxie did not expect that the Twilight Secret Realm was actually connected to other worlds.
“You’re welcome. You have helped our village so much, and now the relics left by my son are also in your hands, so I will naturally tell you what I know.
Although our ancestors were creatures evolved from order, as time goes by, we have long had human emotions, and it is only natural to remind you.”
“Old Village Chief, has this road of trials been opened before?”
“No, but every once in a while, people from different worlds come in to cultivate, and the methods of testing are different each time.
This time, this model of assessment is being opened for the first time.
Perhaps it is because of the so-called great era coming from the Heavenly Dao.
The best opportunities are all placed in this time, so you should try to be one step ahead and not fall behind.”
……
Jun Wuxie bid farewell to the old village chief and left the village.
He checked the map. The location of the Demon Corpse Cave is in a mountain range south of Village No. 9, bordering the boundary of Village No. 9.
In front of that mountain range is a forest with sparse vegetation, inhabited by many fierce birds and beasts eroded by the evil demonic energy, various poisonous insects, and so on.
The map also marked the strength of the fierce birds, beasts, poisonous insects, and other creatures there.
The strength of the creatures in the Secret Realm is not divided by the realm system of the outside world, but by levels.
The blood chickens and other creatures near Village No. 9 are only first-level, belonging to the lowest-level creatures.
On the way from the village to the Demon Corpse Cave, there are various creatures above the first level, while the demon corpses inside the Demon Corpse Cave are second-level creatures.
Jun Wuxie has not seen second-level creatures and does not know how much stronger second-level creatures are than first-level creatures.
In any case, the various aspects of second-level creatures must be greatly improved compared to first-level creatures, whether it is defense strength, attack strength, or agility and speed!
After memorizing the route, Jun Wuxie headed towards his destination.
He ran quickly on the path in the hills, avoiding the various creatures along the way. After a whole half day, he came to the forest in front of the hilly mountains where the Demon Corpse Cave was located.
In this forest, there is a very ferocious poisonous insect—the Blood-Tailed Two-Headed Scorpion.
This scorpion is very large, with its blood-tail raised up to the height of an adult. It is very strong and is a second-level poisonous insect.
Jun Wuxie did not want to waste time, bypassed the territory of the Blood-Tailed Two-Headed Scorpion, entered the hilly mountains, and came to a dark and deep cave.
This cave has a black vortex-like order seal flowing at the entrance.
This seal is only effective for the demon corpses inside the cave and does not work for other creatures.
Standing in front of the cave entrance, one could vaguely smell a decaying aura, as well as a faint evil demonic energy, making it difficult to breathe.
“The map marks that the demon corpses in the Demon Corpse Cave are second-level demons.
This must not have been marked by Jian Feng, the son of the old village chief, but should have been marked by the old village chief later, or possibly by the so-called order.
After all, Jian Feng had already fallen when the demon corpses had not yet been sealed.
This is what makes the information not very complete, only simply marking the level of the demons, with no other information.”
Jun Wuxie thought slightly and did not immediately enter the Demon Corpse Cave.
He remembered the Gale Shoes he got when he killed the Blood Chicken King.
The Gale Shoes are a first-level King-level exclusive artifact, and the effect is not bad, which can provide the wearer with a lot of speed and agility enhancement.
However, the exclusive equipment in the Secret Realm cannot get its effect just by wearing it. It needs to consume essence, energy, and spirit to urge it. The stronger the activated effect, the greater the consumption.
Both the Gale Shoes and the Demon Subduing Divine Sword in his hand are the same.
He put on the Gale Shoes, sacrificed the Demon Subduing Divine Sword, and walked into the seal vortex at the entrance of the Demon Corpse Cave.
In an instant, he came to the cave.
There is light inside, but it is relatively dim. The environment looks like a wide tunnel. Both sides are natural stone walls, and the ground is relatively flat, but it emits a decaying smell.
Jun Wuxie walked along the cave, not far, just after turning a corner, a large number of demon corpses overflowing with black demonic energy appeared in sight.
At a glance, there were dozens of them.
These demon corpses looked very terrifying, their bodies were slightly shriveled, their hair was sparse and messy, very dirty, the skin on their bodies was black, their eyeballs were pale, and their pupils could no longer be seen. In the mouths with fangs exposed, bursts of corrupt turbid air spewed out between breaths!
While Jun Wuxie was looking at the demon corpses, information poured into his mind.
Demon Corpse, a mundane second-level evil demon. Tens of thousands of years ago, evil demons ran out of the world's cracks and were sealed by the Heavenly Dao Order in the Demon Corpse Cave. They could not leave. Their bodies were as strong as divine iron, far better than most evil demon creatures of the same level. Spells, knives, swords, etc., are difficult to hurt them, and they are invulnerable to water and fire.
“Let’s try the strength of the second-level demon corpses first.”
Jun Wuxie pulled up a shadow and rushed towards the demon corpses.
Almost at the same time, the walking dead-like demon corpses seemed to suddenly wake up from their chaotic state.
Roar!
Dozens of demon corpses roared together, and the decaying air rushed out of their mouths, making the stench here so strong that it was nauseating.
Their pale eyeballs instantly turned blood red, full of bloodlust and evil, and rushed towards Jun Wuxie together.
“Clang—”
That was the sound of the Demon Subduing Divine Sword's sword energy slashing on the demon corpse, sonorous and ear-piercing, with sparks flying!
Jun Wuxie was slightly shocked in his heart.
The second-level demon corpses were so powerful!
Early on, I should have known that these were just ordinary second-level evil demons.
He also had the Demon Subduing Divine Sword in his hand!
A sword only broke the clothes on the demon corpse and left a shallow sword mark on its body, but it was not able to break the defense!
It seems that it should be because the Demon Subduing Divine Sword fell to the first level. Although it is a Sub-King level divine weapon, due to the gap in level, its defense-breaking effect is greatly reduced.
Chī!
The demon corpse waved its dark, sharp claws and launched an attack on Jun Wuxie.
There were many demon corpses, dozens of them.
The space inside the cave was limited, making Jun Wuxie surrounded, with cold and sharp finger awns drawn out by the demon corpses in all directions!
It was difficult for Jun Wuxie to avoid these attacks, even though he had the 'Line' word formula and the blessing of the Gale Shoes.
However, limited by the narrow space and the large number of targets, the effect of the Gale Shoes could not be exerted at all.
He decisively gave up the effect of the Gale Shoes, letting it dormant to avoid wasting his essence, energy, and spirit.
At the same time, he dodged with Gale Steps and waved the Demon Subduing Divine Sword to strike in all directions.
The sound of the sword energy colliding with the dark finger awns was endless, and the air waves rolled and spread around.
It was difficult for the Demon Subduing Divine Sword to break the defense alone, so he superimposed his own blood energy power with the sword energy, and the effect was immediate!
With a bang!
A demon corpse was hit by the sword energy, and sparks burst out on the surface of its body at the same time, and the sound of flesh and blood breaking rang out.
This sword went deep enough to see the bone!
At the same time, Jun Wuxie was also hit by several demon corpses.
He forcibly resolved it with the Chaos Golden Blood Qi Circle and the 'Guard' word formula, and resisted it.
Although the demon corpses' attacks failed to break his defense, the defense secret technique needed to consume blood energy to obliterate the attacks.
Urging the Demon Subduing Divine Sword also needed to consume essence, energy, and spirit.
“I don’t know how many demon corpses are inside.”
Jun Wuxie thought while fighting. With his recovery ability, he could continue in this state.
The premise was that what he encountered were only ordinary second-level demon corpses.
Roar!
The demon corpse was injured and let out a fierce roar, becoming even more violent.
They seemed to have no pain, only knowing killing and destruction!
Jun Wuxie resisted the attacks of the demon corpses while beheading them.
One after another, demon corpses fell, turning into order light rain and a trace of special essence, which merged into his body.
Eh?
Jun Wuxie was stunned.
These special essences could actually improve the realm, and directly improve it, without the need to actively refine and transform it.
The effect of the automatic operation of the cultivation method is enough to directly convert this special essence into lifeblood energy.
It's just that the special essence obtained from killing a magic zombie is too little.
According to this amount, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of them need to be killed to accumulate enough energy to break through a Celestial Realm.
“The master of the Secret Realm has taken this into consideration, not letting those who come in to participate in the trial waste their energy killing these evil demons for nothing, and will give a certain reward.
It's just that this reward is too small. For others, wanting to rely on killing ordinary evil demons to break through, who knows how long it will take to break through a realm.”
He doesn't use methods to speed up consumption, and he has difficulty breaking the defenses of these ordinary second-order evil demons, let alone others?
He used almost half an hour for dozens of magic zombies.
After all, he didn't raise his combat state to the extreme, and had to maintain his peak state and sustained combat ability.
He doesn't know how deep this cave is, and he doesn't know how many magic zombies are inside.
Moreover, it is impossible for there to be only ordinary magic zombies in this magic zombie cave.
He continued to go deeper along the dim cave, and soon encountered a large group of magic zombies, numbering in the hundreds!
Among them, several magic zombies not only overflowed with black magic light, but also had faint purple light.
The three magic zombies with purple light obviously had much stronger auras than the other magic zombies.
Jun Wuxie stared at the three magic zombies from a distance, and their information quickly appeared in his mind.
Magic Zombie Warlord, elite-level second-order evil demon, possesses a stronger physical body and attack power than ordinary magic zombies, cultivates the secret technique Magic Zombie Summon, and will summon several magic zombies to help after withstanding ten attacks!
“As expected, there are more than just ordinary magic zombies. It seems that dealing with the Magic Zombie King is not an easy task.”
Jun Wuxie rushed over.
Unexpectedly, once he entered the battle, the attacks of those elite magic zombies shocked him!
His blood energy circle and the 'Defense' word formula were instantly penetrated!
Jun Wuxie was very speechless.
The master of the secret realm is incomprehensible, giving these evil demons such perverted defense-breaking power!
It seems that if you want to improve your defensive ability, you can only obtain an exclusive defensive artifact, such as clothes with a certain grade!
Jun Wuxie wielded the Demon Subduing Divine Sword and fought with the magic zombies, and had to use sublimation secret techniques to break through the defenses of the elite-level magic zombies.
This undoubtedly increased his consumption of energy, spirit, and spirit.
The difficulty of killing magic zombie elites is very high, with thick skin and flesh.
To achieve a kill within ten strikes, you must continue to stack sublimation-type secret techniques.
He thought for a while, directly activating all sublimation-type secret techniques, bringing his state to the limit!
In this state, he became very terrifying. Sword energy swept across, and dozens of magic zombies around him instantly fell!
Subsequently, with three consecutive swords, he killed the three elite magic zombies.
The moment the elite magic zombies fell, three rays of light fell on the ground.
He ignored them, and only looked at the things on the ground after clearing the surrounding ordinary magic zombies.
At the same time, the special essence that entered his body after the death of the elite magic zombies was much more majestic than that of ordinary magic zombies, ten times the amount!
On the ground, a pair of shoes and two weapons.
He picked them up, and information appeared in his mind.
Rare grade Secret Realm exclusive artifact.
However, he already had these two kinds of artifacts, and they were of a higher grade.
I wonder how many magic zombies are inside?
He realized that he couldn't continue like this.
Killing a few elites requires extreme sublimation, plus the consumption of the Demon Subduing Divine Sword, making it difficult for him to recover during battle.
Once he can't maintain his peak, even if he kills to the location of the Magic Zombie King, it's useless.
And once you leave the Magic Zombie Cave, the number of magic zombies will mostly recover.
After all, this is the trial mode arranged by the master of the secret realm. Once you leave and come back, it is equivalent to restarting the trial.
“Let’s go in and take a look first…”
Thinking of this, Jun Wuxie activated the Gale Shoes, used the 'Line' word formula, propped up the world domain, and rushed towards the depths of the Magic Zombie Cave at the fastest speed.
Unfortunately, the Little Void Art cannot have an effect on the creatures evolved by order within the Secret Realm; otherwise, it would not be such a waste of energy.
“Roar——”
Soon he encountered a large number of magic zombies, and the number of elites exceeded three!
He didn't stop, rushed out of the magic zombie group and continued to go deeper.
The deeper he went, the denser the number of magic zombies became, and the number of elites reached a group of more than a dozen.
Before long, he saw magic zombies that were stronger than the elite level.
Magic Zombie Chieftain, chieftain-level second-order evil demon!
He rushed over and continued to go deeper, and found the Magic Zombie King at the end of the magic zombie cave.
Its body was huge, several times larger than ordinary magic zombies, and its arms were wrapped with black gas-emitting divine iron chains, dragging on the ground with a rustling sound.
Beside the Magic Zombie King, there were also several chieftains and a group of elites, and a large number of ordinary magic zombies!
He saw behind the Magic Zombie King that there was a closed stone gate at the end of the cave.
Obviously, this is not the true end of the cave. The inside of that stone gate is the true core of the Magic Zombie Cave!
And the Magic Zombie King is like the guardian of that stone gate!
What exactly is inside the stone gate?
“Roar——”
The Magic Zombie King discovered Jun Wuxie and roared, and the mountain walls of the cave shook!
Rattling!
It dragged its long black divine iron chains and rushed over with heavy steps.
“Lord Jun, leave quickly, retreat from the cave first!”
The voice of the Little World Tree sounded in his mind.
Without her saying so, Jun Wuxie would naturally not stay. He turned around and rushed out of the cave, colliding with the magic zombies that had chased him before.
He defended with the world domain, and under the extreme state, he forcibly blasted open the oncoming magic zombies with the Three Thousand Stacking Kill Technique, and rushed to the exit at the fastest speed, stepping out of the Magic Zombie Cave in one step.
“Lord Jun, are you alright?”
A streak of green light rushed out of his chest, transforming into a peerless woman.
Wan stared at him with worried eyes, and gently wiped away a trace of chaotic golden blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth with her slender hand.
Jun Wuxie shook his head gently, “I’m really useless. I can’t withstand the backlash when I use the power beyond the limit.”
“Wan doesn’t allow you to say such things about yourself. You have not healed from the origin wounds you sustained to support the Upper Realm, and there are still cracks in the Wheel of Life. How can you withstand the power beyond the limit?”
“Alright, I was just saying it casually, but you took it seriously.”
Jun Wuxie moved away the Little World Tree's hand on his mouth, and said, “It seems that I have to break through the realm and the Divine Forbidden Domain first, and then go to kill king-level creatures to obtain defensive artifacts.
This way, I can save a lot of energy, spirit, and spirit, and I don't need the world domain to be able to withstand it.”
“Yes, in the deepest part of the cave, there is an emperor-level magic zombie. That is the true ruler inside the Magic Zombie Cave.”
Jun Wuxie's pupils shrank slightly upon hearing this, “There really is something stronger. In this small village-level territory, the starting point of the trial road, there is actually an emperor-level creature!”
According to the setting of the master of the secret realm, killing emperor-level creatures will definitely drop good things.
For example, a second-order emperor-level exclusive artifact, at the very least, it must be a sub-emperor level!
Of course, emperor-level creatures are not easy to kill, there is no doubt about that.
What needs to be done now is to improve one's own strength; otherwise, everything is just wishful thinking!
Just then, order heavenly might suddenly permeated the sky.
With a bang, an ancient monument emerged!
It was still the Monument of Glory, but what was different was that there was an additional ranking list on the left side of the Monument of Glory!
The voice of the Monument of Glory then rang out.
“Attention all participants on the path of trials: the first emperor-level exclusive artifact has appeared, and the exclusive artifact ranking list has been opened!
All exclusive artifacts within the Secret Realm can be sold and traded to obtain exclusive coins, which can be used to purchase or bid on various special resources, including but not limited to improving realm and Divine Forbidden Domain, at the Regional Main City Goods Shop.
Exclusive equipment trading will be opened when the first participant arrives at the Regional Main City. Good luck to all later participants!”
Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment.
An emperor-level artifact has actually appeared?
Whose luck and strength are so heaven-defying?
Jun Wuxie looked at the exclusive artifact ranking list, and the exclusive artifact ranked first and its owner gradually manifested.
Azure Luan Blade—Second-Order Emperor-Level Growth-Type Exclusive Artifact.
Owner—Twilight Princess.
Almost at the same time, the Glory Ranking List also changed.
The glory value behind Twilight Princess's name rolled wildly, and her ranking instantly surpassed him, rushing to the top of the list.
Twilight Princess's glory value increased from sixty directly to one hundred and sixty!
“What exactly did she do? She actually obtained an emperor-level exclusive artifact, and it's still a growth-type artifact…”
After being surprised, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but reveal a smile, feeling happy for Twilight Princess in his heart.
After all, there is a slight possibility that she is an old friend he once knew.
Different from Jun Wuxie's reaction to this matter, the participants in all the villages exploded, looking at the sky in disbelief.
Some were envious, and others were so jealous that they went crazy, almost vomiting blood on the spot.
They had worked hard to the point of exhaustion until now, and they were still wearing coarse cloth clothes and holding rusty iron swords in their hands. They hadn't even obtained a rare exclusive artifact, but that Twilight Princess had actually obtained an emperor-level exclusive artifact!
