Chapter 142: Souls merge, the army approaches
"We can't continue to temper here. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I don't know how many people will die in the Demon Suppression Division!"
Wei Fan temporarily stopped tempering, grabbed the Xuanhuang Ding, broke through the air and flew out of the Demon Suppression Division, away from Su City.
The terrifying weight in his hand made him fly very slowly, as if he was holding a mountain.
"What is he doing away so late?"
Long Xueyi showed a puzzled look. Wei Fan had almost used all his strength to fly away from Su City, so this movement naturally could not be hidden from her.
She saw the Xuanhuang Ding in Wei Fan's hand, but she didn't expect that Wei Fan was tempering the Xuanhuang Ding.
Because she had warned Wei Fan that this kind of weapon would indeed be extremely powerful if it were tempered into a divine weapon, but at the same time the cost of tempering would be very high, and it might not be able to be tempered into a primary divine weapon even after one or two hundred years.
"After this thing is tempered into a divine weapon, are you sure its weight won't crush its owner to death?"
Boom!
He landed on a deserted mountaintop carrying the Xuanhuang Ding. However, he failed to control his strength and stepped on the mountaintop, breaking half of it, and huge rocks rolled down.
It's only a semi-divine weapon, and it's difficult for him to fly with it. If it really becomes a divine weapon, its weight will be even more terrifying. It's a bit exaggerated that it can crush its master to death. But if the divine weapon can't even be lifted, what's the use of it.
Wei Fan didn’t know whether this situation would occur, and there was no explanation of such a thing in the magic weapon technique.
However, he had no intention of stopping. For the time being, the weight of the Xuanhuang Ding was still within his tolerance.
Anyway, this place is far away from people, and if it really happens, he won't be able to bear the weight and won't hurt anyone.
This time he grabbed the two legs of the Xuanhuang Ding with both hands before beginning to temper it.
[You have honed your skills for three thousand years day and night. Your hard work has paid off. The Xuanhuang Ding has transformed into a primary divine weapon.]
Wei Fan’s arms swelled, his willpower and strength came out together, and he grasped the Xuanhuang Ding tightly in his hands.
But it didn't work.
The Xuanhuang Ding, which had become a primary divine weapon, emitted wisps of ochre-colored light and created terrifying fluctuations.
With a "puff", the mountain under his feet disappeared in an instant, shattered by the terrifying pressure, and the surrounding mountains and rivers began to shake.
"What a wonderful Xuanhuang Ding!"
Wei Fan was not surprised but happy. Although it was only a primary magic weapon, its power was not weaker than the middle-level magic weapon, the Tiger Soul Sword. This was just an unintentional wave that shook a mountain. If he infused his true strength and used it with all his strength, the power would be even more terrifying.
Of course, the amount of energy used up was also terrifying. The previous Tiger Soul Blade only took three thousand years to be refined into a medium-level divine weapon.
But now, with the power of his will doubled, it took him three thousand years to refine the Xuanhuang Ding into a primary divine weapon.
What Long Xueyi said was a bit conservative. If she didn't have the panel, she might not be able to refine the Xuanhuang Ding into a true magic weapon until her death.
“That’s enough!”
Wei Fan did not continue to temper it. The terrifying weight of the Xuanhuang Ding was too much for even him to bear. If it continued to increase, he would not be able to use it in battle at all.
However, when he wanted to put the Xuanhuang Ding into the storage gourd, he found that a large number of cracks appeared on the storage gourd, as if it was about to explode.
The storage gourd could not bear the weight of the Xuanhuang Ding at all.
Wei Fan hurriedly took back the Xuanhuang Ding.
"It's troublesome. I can only continue to temper it!"
It was impossible for him to keep holding the more than one-meter-high Xuanhuang Ding in his hand, the only way was to continue tempering it.
High-level magical weapons can be changed in size at will, and top-level magical weapons can be stored in the body.
Perhaps if he becomes a top-notch divine weapon, his will and power will truly merge with the divine weapon, and the weight of the Xuanhuang Ding will disappear for him.
On the crumbling ground, Wei Fan continued to temper himself.
[Three thousand and one years of power. Since the Xuan Huang Ding cannot be stored in the storage gourd, you continue to refine the Xuan Huang Ding, intending to refine it into a top-notch magic weapon in one fell swoop and store it in your body.]
[With seven thousand years of experience, the power of your will has blended together, and your true strength has been tempered. The Xuanhuang Ding has become a medium-level divine weapon, giving rise to a trace of spirituality.]
There were waves all around the Xuanhuang Ding, and the body of the Ding was vibrating and humming.
At this time Wei Fan discovered that the weight of the Xuanhuang Ding had actually been reduced a lot. However, this reduction was not because the weight of the Xuanhuang Ding had decreased, but because the Xuanhuang Ding had become spiritual, as if it was floating as it merged with the heaven and earth.
If he wanted to move the Xuanhuang Ding, he would still feel the sudden increase in weight.
At this moment, he found it difficult to move the Xuanhuang Ding.
[With twelve thousand years of power, the spirituality of the Xuanhuang Ding increases day by day, and it blends perfectly with your mind and soul to become a high-level divine weapon. It can be adjusted in size, and a single wave of it can kill a master in the early stage of the divine realm.]
A mysterious aura appeared on the Xuanhuang Ding, and the body of the Ding was simple and majestic, appearing to be completely natural.
Wei Fan scanned with his mind and felt a surge of vitality, as if the thing in front of him was not a dead object, but had life.
The air around was steaming and the scene was extraordinary. The small tripod, just over one meter high, seemed as heavy and steady as an ancient sacred mountain.
Wei Fan let go of his hand, and the Xuanhuang Ding could float on its own without him having to exert any effort.
Moreover, when he really used his strength to grab the Xuanhuang Ding, he found that he could not shake the Xuanhuang Ding at all. The weight of the Xuanhuang Ding was so terrifying that it was unimaginable. He needed to use his mind to move it.
The Xuanhuang Ding has become a high-level divine weapon, so for him, he no longer needs to control it with his hands like a primary divine weapon, but can control it with his mind.
[With 18,000 years of power, the Xuan Huang Ding will become one with your mind and spirit, blending together to become a top-notch magic weapon]
[Xuanhuang Ding (Top Divine Weapon)]
[Ordinary skill: 7300 years]
[Spiritual Power: None]
It has become a top-notch divine weapon! The expected scene of crushing the owner to death did not appear, but at this moment, the weight of the Xuanhuang Ding was so terrifying that it was unimaginable.
It floated in the void, and the void was like the surface of the water, rippling as if it could not bear such a terrifying weight.
Below the Xuanhuang Ding, the ground within a radius of one kilometer had already sunk dozens of meters, and the mountains and rivers farther away were roaring continuously.
Wei Fan's face looked ugly. It was not because the Xuanhuang Ding was not powerful, but because its power was too terrifying.
After it became a top-notch divine weapon, his mind could hardly move the Xuanhuang Ding.
His sea of consciousness was shaking like a raging sea, his illusory soul opened its eyes, and the Xuanhuang Ding was only slowly approaching his forehead.
Boom boom...
Finally, his sea of consciousness shook and almost cracked, and the Xuanhuang Ding appeared above his illusory soul.
Wei Fan felt a splitting headache and his face turned pale. He only recovered after resting for a while.
Only then did he understand the power of the Thunder Sound Bell. No matter how much it was upgraded, it would not be a problem for him to use it.
"I've learned something that I can't use for the time being!"
The weight is so terrifying that even moving the mind is difficult. When killing the enemy, the Xuanhuang Ding can basically not be used.
He was afraid that the enemy would kill him before he could move the Xuanhuang Ding out of his sea of consciousness.
If you want to use the Xuanhuang Ding, your soul must continue to grow stronger.
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to not refine the Xuanhuang Cauldron in the Demon Suppression Division!"
Looking at the messy place, Wei Fan soared into the sky and landed in his own yard after a while.
…
There are four first-rate sects in Sucheng, namely the Divine Sword Sect, the Qingfeng Sword Sect, the Silver Moon Valley, and the Tianmen Mountain.
The Divine Sword Sect has fallen to the bottom because its guardian beast was killed and its old leader in the Divine Realm was imprisoned.
Among the remaining three major sects, Silver Moon Valley is the strongest and oldest. Not only does it have more disciples than the other two sects, but its leader Lin Shiqi is also the strongest among the three leaders in the Divine Realm. Even the old leader of the Divine Sword Sect is not as good as him.
On this day, a huge army set out from the Demon Suppression Division and headed towards the Silver Moon Valley.
Wei Fan and Long Xueyi rode their magic horses at the front of the army.
The reason why they dealt with the Silver Moon Valley first was not because it was the strongest of the three major sects, but because among the three major sects, the Silver Moon Valley had the least number of disciples in the Demon Suppression Division.
Even a sect like Piaoyu Sect has one to two hundred disciples in the Demon Suppression Division, while Yinyue Valley, as a first-rate force, has only more than twenty disciples in the Demon Suppression Division.
Among the three major sects, the disciples of Silver Moon Valley have the worst reputation. Not only are their disciples rarely seen doing chivalrous things, but they also often rely on the strength of their sect to bully the disciples of other weaker sects.
Wei Fan and Long Xueyi were wearing heavy armor made of black gold fish scales. Their war horses were walking slowly without any hurried march.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Now that the tone has been set to give the three major sects a chance and not to destroy them outright, there is no need to catch them off guard.
Half a day later, at noon, Silver Moon Valley appeared in Wei Fan's sight.
Under the dazzling sunlight, the Silver Moon Valley not far away really looks like a crescent moon standing at the end of the earth, like a silver moon falling into the mountains.
Lying flat in the spacious valley, rows of pavilions and towers are built against the mountain.
It was not peaceful here at the moment. All the disciples of Silver Moon Valley were wearing the same uniform and standing in the valley with serious expressions.
Thousands of troops from the Demon Suppression Division were led by the new commanders Wei Fan and Long Xueyi to the Silver Moon Valley. As a first-rate force, how could they not discover the army's movements in advance?
"Line up!"
Wei Fan stopped his horse, and Long Xueyi also stopped.
It’s not surprising that Silver Moon Valley reacted. After all, they also had sneaky ideas.
The army surged up, began to take up positions, and emitted a terrifying murderous aura.
On the opposite side, all the disciples of Silver Moon Valley changed their expressions.
Judging from the situation, the Demon Suppression Division is really here to attack Silver Moon Valley.
"My name is Lin Shiqi. Nice to meet Commander Wei and Commander Long. Why are the Demon Suppression Division's troops approaching Silver Moon Valley?"
Lin Shiqi looked solemn and frowned.
When he asked for help from the Demon Suppression Division before, he knew that he would offend the Division. However, he did not expect that after the Demon Suppression Division razed Qingyun Mountain to the ground, they would be able to free up their hands and immediately send a large army to invade.
This kind of thing has happened in the past, but after the rejection, the Demon Suppression Division did not respond.
We are a martial arts sect, but we have no responsibility to protect the territory.
Moreover, the Demon Suppression Division has become increasingly powerful over the years, and has the intention of suppressing the sects. Under such circumstances, how could anyone help the Demon Suppression Division?
Moreover, the previous incident with the Divine Sword Sect was a lesson for us. It only took the lives of a few dozen ordinary people, but the sect's guardian beast was killed and the old sect leader was imprisoned.
Who knows if something like this will happen to me one day? It would be right to let the Demon Suppression Division and the demons fight to the death.
Wei Fan's face was cold: "Isn't Sect Leader Lin in seclusion? Why is he coming out so soon?"
Wei Fan looked at it coldly, and the panel in front of him suddenly flickered.
[Lin Shiqi: In the middle stage of the Divine Realm, the head of the Silver Moon Valley, shielded his disciples from doing evil, and watched the demons break through the human city]
[Kill it, and you will gain 2000 years of ordinary power and 20 years of spiritual power]
Obviously, even the panel finds this behavior of sitting back and doing nothing disgusting.
He enjoys the benefits brought by the stability of the human race, takes away every genius among the human race, and does not protect the human race when it is in danger. Such people deserve to be killed.
They are like parasites. Apart from sucking blood, they bring no benefit at all. It is best to eliminate them.
"Commanders Wei and Long are approaching with their armies. How can I have the heart to retreat?"
Lin Shiqi's expression remained unchanged.
That was just talk, he wasn't really in seclusion.
Moreover, Wei Fan, the god of death, is coming with a large army, so he will have to come out even if he is in seclusion.
Wei Fan sneered, "You are not panicking when the demons from Qingyun Mountain are about to break through our human defenses, and you are still thinking about retreating. Are you afraid of my thousands of people?"
Lin Shiqi's breath was choked! Even if the demon army broke through the defense line and attacked Sucheng directly, as long as the Black Python Demon King had no problem with his brain, he would not dare to provoke the Silver Moon Valley, so he had the confidence to sit back and watch the Demon Suppression Department and the demons both suffer losses.
Of course, he didn't dare say this.
Once it is spoken out, there will be suspicion of colluding with demons.
The same goes for the other two factions. It's not that they don't know the principle of "the lips and the teeth are interdependent", but the relationship between them and the Demon Suppression Bureau is not one of those where the lips and the teeth are interdependent.
The demons have broken through the human defense line and will not attack their three major sects.
No matter how many calculations they made, they never expected that the Demon Suppression Division would be able to turn the tide with only Situ Feng alone, and not only killed the White Ape Demon King, but also seriously injured the Black Python Demon King, who fled, and flattened Qingyun Mountain in one fell swoop.
He had not expected that Wei Fan, this monster, would break through to the Divine Realm together with Long Xueyi in such a short time, and it seemed that he was here to settle the score with him.
A smile appeared on Wei Fan's lips.
On the way here, he used his mental power to observe all the soldiers and found that some of them were very opposed to the Demon Suppression Division's attack on Silver Moon Valley.
But after these few words, many people began to hate Silver Moon Valley.
As a sect of the human race, what is the point of sitting back and watching when the human race is in trouble? Even many disciples of the sect hate this behavior at this moment.
"So Commander Wei, are you here to destroy our Silver Moon Valley?"
Lin Shiqi did not make any excuses. We are all masters, no one is stupid. To quibble is an insult to one's own wisdom.
Everyone knows exactly what the nature of their actions are and what the Demon Suppression Division is worried about, so there is no point in quibbling.
Wei Fan nodded expressionlessly: "According to my opinion, you are a sect that only sucks the blood of the human race and does not protect the human race, so just destroy it directly. There is no need for you to continue to exist. Maybe one day you will stab my human race in the back.
However, Commander Situ and the Acting Commander are kind-hearted and want to give you a chance."
Lin Shiqi's pupils shrank. It really was time to settle the score.
But when he heard that Situ Feng and the acting commander wanted to give them a chance, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not afraid of the Demon Suppression Division, he did not want to really have a conflict: "May I ask what the chance is?"
Wei Fan glanced at them and said, "Take these parasites with you and get out of Su City. Go wherever you want. If you don't protect the human race, Su City doesn't need you to suck blood."
Lin Shiqi's expression froze.
The roots of Silver Moon Valley are here, and all the disciples are from Su City. Leaving Su City means not only leaving home, but also having nowhere to go.
In this world, where are there no sects? If they go to other places, it means they will have to compete with the forces there for resources and disciples, and it would be strange if they don't start a war.
Lin Shiqi growled, "Impossible. My Silver Moon Valley has been rooted here for hundreds of years. Leaving would mean the extinction of our sect."
