Chapter 528: Chapter 398: The Power of the Divine Weapon
Everyone’s eyes were fixedly staring at the bow.
Around the bow, like stars surrounding the moon, floated ten orbs of light talismans formed by meteor impacts.
Inside those light talisman orbs, there were all shades, spherical in shape, of different sizes and colors, red, yellow, green, purple, like a rainbow.
The orbs were shrouded in mist, but what lay inside them were ten precious treasures.
These ten treasures included Spiritual Artifacts, Martial Arts Stone Carvings, and precious rare Medicinal Grasses, each appearing vastly valuable.
However, in terms of value, the Yi God’s Void-breaking Bow was the most precious, for a Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact was an extremely powerful existence throughout the Qing Province Continent, likely only possessed by Sect Leaders of the Nine Sects or Core Disciples of the Three Sects.
"Is this a Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact? What are you all standing there for? Go and snatch the bow!"
Even Princess Qing Bi, born of the Imperial Family, couldn’t help but covet the Yi God’s Void-breaking Bow.
Her venture into Xingxiu Cave this time was because she heard that there were many peculiar Elixir Pills and high-grade Martial Arts inside.
Little did she know that upon entering Xingxiu Cave, things were not as she had imagined.
Especially at the moment in the stone chamber, the horrifying way Hong Yuying died was still deeply etched in her mind.
Now seeing the Yi God’s Void-shattering Bow, Princess Qing Bi felt her trip was not in vain.
With an order from Qing Bi, two Martial Artists from Beiqing took their commands, both of them warriors of the Reincarnation First Path. One soared high into the sky, directly towards the Yi God’s Void-shattering Bow above.
Seeing this, Chen Minzhi of Kaijiang Prince Manor scoffed coldly, and his two guards immediately followed, blocking Princess Qing Bi’s guards from the left and the right.
"Chen Minzhi, you dare to obstruct me, a Princess! Look at what you are, merely the second son of the Kaijiang Prince Manor. Even if it were your brother, he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in front of me. Do you believe that once I leave Xingxiu Cave, I’ll have your head chopped off!"
Princess Qing Bi was furious, her eyebrows upside down as she yelled at Chen Minzhi.
"Your Highness, don’t forget, this is Xingxiu Cave, your status here means nothing. In front of a Spiritual Artifact, everyone is equal," Chen Minzhi retorted with a sneer, his narrow eyes full of mockery.
A brief, obscure light flickered in the depths of his eyes.
Cong Lv happened to catch that glint.
Alarmed, Cong Lv suspected that Chen Minzhi was entirely capable of preventing Princess Qing Bi from ever leaving Xingxiu Cave.
This second son of the Kaijiang Prince Manor... recalled Chen Minzhi’s earlier Alchemy using the Mixed Element Skyfire Cauldron.
To Cong Lv, who hadn’t much impression of this discrete young man, this trip to Xingxiu Cave completely overturned his impression of him.
His demeanor showed no regard for the Princess and himself.
This Chen Minzhi truly was a character to be reported to Emperor Beiqing after leaving Xingxiu Cave.
Cong Lv thought secretly, while on the other side, Luo Song also coveted that bow greatly.
Luo Song’s Earth-level Spiritual Artifact, the Wind Riding Treasure Bottle, was damaged by Jueqing Sect’s Young Sect Master, Bo Qing. Though it had been repaired, its power was greatly diminished from an Earth-grade top-grade artifact to an Earth-grade lower-grade one.
Thinking about how, as a Young Sect Master, Bo Qing possessed two Heavenly-grade Spiritual Treasures while he was miserably equipped with a mere "broken urinal," Luo Song felt extremely jealous.
If only he could seize the Yi God’s Void-shattering Bow, then he could make Bo Qing cry for his parents next time they met.
With these thoughts, the greed in Luo Song’s eyes intensified, fervently determined not to miss this Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact.
Taking advantage of the standoff between Qing Bi and Chen Minzhi, Luo Song’s figure flashed, leaping dozens of feet up, soaring straight into the clouds, aiming to seize the Spiritual Treasure.
But just then, a powerful surge of spiritual power fluctuations emerged like an invisible wall right in front of Luo Song.
Luo Song furiously glanced over and saw Wen Xu from the Beiqing Delegation solemnly staring at him.
"Old man, you dare to block this Young Valley Master!" Luo Song was infuriated.
In that moment, dark currents surged, and the earlier harmony was completely gone.
However, Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun both had faces as calm as still water.
Feng Xun was not a Martial Artist, and holding the Yi God’s Void-breaking Bow was of no use to him.
As for Ye Lingyue, it wasn’t that she didn’t want it; she was fully aware that among the several forces, she was undoubtedly the weakest. Competing with these crazed people for the artifact was like a chicken hitting a rock, akin to seeking death.
As soon as Luo Song and Wen Xu made their moves, the other two, Cong Lv and Chen Minzhi, also took action.
Both were individuals with extremely rich combat experience. Cong Lv floated up and intercepted Luo Song, attempting to hold Luo Song back and let Wen Xu seize the treasure.
But Chen Minzhi simply smiled, his sleeve quivering, and an eruption of robust Primordial Power enveloped Wen Xu. If Wen Xu dared to advance half a step further, his top of the skull would be instantly shattered by Chen Minzhi.
Just as the four were in a deadlock.
Above the sky, the blood-red Divine Bow suddenly trembled with a blood light, and an arc of light burst forth from the bow.
The arc was shaped like a crescent, extremely sharp; as soon as it left the bow, it transformed into surging blood waves, sweeping forward as if slicing through wheat, instantly tearing the air apart.
Chen Minzhi and the others’ complexions changed upon sensing it, and they explosively retreated.
"Prince, be careful Miss Ye!"
Sword Slave was shocked, knowing that the blood light was no trivial matter.
"Protect Feng Xun," Ye Lingyue instantly formed a Blink Shield with her spiritual power.
As soon as the Blink Shield met the blood light, it shattered into fragments, disappearing without a trace.
Looking at the others, Sword Slave timely protected Feng Xun, but the rest...
Blood splattered on the ground, except for Princess Qing Bi, Hong Yulang, and a few other Reincarnation Masters like Cong Lv and Hong Mingyue.
Other warriors or Alchemists below the Reincarnation Realm were all cut down in an instant.
Bisected at the waist, their upper and lower bodies separated, their organs scattered all over the floor, the scene was too horrifying to endure.
Thirty people entered the second cave, and now only a mere dozen remained, more than half had perished.
The air was thick with a suffocating stench of blood.
Princess Qing Bi couldn’t help it and started to retch.
The expressions of others were also unprecedentedly ghastly as they looked up at the blood bow in the sky.
At this moment, no one dared to rashly go after the bow, they all realized that this Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact, heavy with the scent of bloody slaughter, attempting to seize it directly would result in being sliced in half.
At that time, the power of the blood arc would surely be even more terrifying, and even the warriors at the Reincarnation Realm could not match it.
The Yi God’s Void-breaking Bow was demonstrating its power, warning them not to be reckless on its territory.
To obtain this bow, ordinary methods simply wouldn’t work.
