Not only was the path lord not happy at all when he saw the three Saint Emperors reach for the same sword but not the second one. Instead, he grumbled. He cursed the fact that the other two Saint Emperors of the Tian Yuan Continent were not present at such a crucial moment, preventing him from obtaining such a great fortuitous encounter.
This was because the path lord knew that the two swords were no weaker than the ancestral artifacts of the protector clans. They might even be more powerful than the ancestral artifacts. Even a Holy Emperor like him would not necessarily be able to subdue them after seeing how they had fended off the tribulation lightning earlier. However, three of the four Holy Emperor present were magical beasts. He was the only human. With no other choice, the path lord could only force himself to try even though he knew he could not subdue the swords.
The two immortal swords were enveloped by a layer of intense and dazzling sword light, one purple and one green. Under the cover of this light, the bodies of the two immortal swords appeared hazy and indistinct.
The path lord and the three Saint Emperors reached for the hilts of their swords at the same time. They were prepared to deal with any unexpected situation. Not only were their hands enveloped by powerful Saint Force, but even their bodies flickered with light. They had formed a layer of protection around themselves with powerful energy.
However, before their hands could touch the hilts of the two swords, blood spurted from their hands as soon as they came in contact with the violet and azure lights. The two lights were not just for show. Instead, they were powerful streaks of light. The streaks of light pierced through the defenses of Saint Force on their hands, reducing their hands to a bloody mess in a single instance.
The path lord and the three Holy Emperor immediately pulled back their hands. Their hands were covered in wounds, to the point where the white bones hidden in the flesh could be seen.
The path lord and the three Holy Emperor were shocked. The four of them stood at the apex of the world, yet they could not even touch the hilts of the two swords. The power of the two swords had completely exceeded their understanding of the treasures of the world.
There had never been such heaven-defying treasures in history. Even the Holy Emperor could not touch them, so how were they supposed to subdue them?
"Treasures of the world really can't be subdued through force. Only those who are fated can obtain them," the ancestor of the Holy Emperor murmured to himself. Joy filled his face. Since the Holy Emperor could not subdue them through force, they obviously had a chance as Holy Emperor. The ancestor of the Felicity Empire immediately dismissed his thoughts. He closed his eyes and began to use a special method to communicate with the treasures of the world.
Some of the swordsmen learned from the founding emperor of the Felicity Empire. They either sent out their own soul, used their own mind, or used their own understanding of swordsmanship to get the treasure to recognize them as its master. There were all kinds of strange methods they used to get the treasure to recognize them as its master.
The experts of the Hundred Races who had retreated from the volcanoes all returned several kilometers away. They all focused on watching from afar. They did not approach, nor did they plan on taking part in the battle for the treasures.
"Hanke, are you sure that these two peerless divine swords with boundless power are not treasures nurtured by the heavens and earth, but forged by humans?" A skinny old woman asked with a deep voice. Her eyes were green, and at a closer glance, they seemed to be two balls of green flames leaping about in her eyes.
She was an expert of the fire daemons. She had reached the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor.
The Fire Demon Race was born with the ability to control fire. There was an innate green flame in their bodies. This flame didn't burn things, only life.
This was why they were called fire daemons.
The dwarven expert with the Heaven's Guard beside her nodded sternly. He sternly said, "Please do not doubt the judgement of the dwarf Wang Hanke. If we dwarves claim to be second in forging weapons, no one in the world would dare to claim to be first. According to my experience, I am extremely certain that these two swords were forged by humans. They were not created by the world."
"The two swords that have just been forged possess such terrifying power. Just how terrifying is the strength of the person who forged them? I never thought that the Tian Yuan Continent would have such a supreme expert. It really is unbelievable," a black-furred werewolf sighed in amazement.
"Don't tell me that the person who forged these two swords has already surpassed the Holy Emperor and reached the Origin realm, the same level as that existence in Mercenary City," said a beautiful woman. She only seemed to be in her twenties and possessed an alluring beauty. However, her upper body was that of a human, while her lower body was that of a snake.
She was an expert of the Spiritsnakes, a member of the Hundred Races.
"If it really is an Origin realm expert, it's not necessarily a bad thing for us," said the elven expert. The Fairy Race's expert spoke. She was also a young woman. She was so beautiful that even the moon and flowers would be put to shame. She had a pure and holy beauty. Her voice was as pleasant as a lark's. However, her true age was nowhere near as young as she seemed. She was a Holy Emperor at Great Perfection who had lived for several thousand years.
In the air, the three Holy Emperor's expressions became rather ugly. They were unable to touch a single sword despite working together, which made them feel rather embarrassed. Even if the two swords were difficult to obtain, they should not have embarrassed themselves like this.
A sliver of malice even appeared in Kaiser's eyes. He furiously bellowed, "I refuse to believe that I can't even subdue a single sword." Kaiser's hand immediately turned into a dragon's claw. It was powerful and covered in fine scales. He then reached for the Ziying sword again.
The dragon's claw collided with the violet light of the Ziying sword, producing a metallic sound and sparks. However, the result was the same as before. Before his claw could even touch the hilt of the Ziying sword, it was injured by the light. He was forced to retreat. The dragon's claw was reduced to a bloody mess. Its scales had shattered, revealing white bone.
Lankyros gasped and sighed, "The treasure of the world is just too powerful. Even Kaiser can't touch the hilt. Is there anyone in the world who can subdue it?"
At this moment, a figure leapt out of the lava. He shone with a dazzling light, as dazzling as a miniature sun, illuminating the volcanoes.
Everyone's gazes were drawn over by the person who had suddenly appeared in the lava. However, they could only make out a blurry figure. No one could see his appearance clearly.
The figure stood on one of the volcanoes. As the white light around him gradually vanished, his appearance was revealed.
"It's Jianchen. He's actually been hiding in the lava the entire time …"
"It's said that Jianchen has already vanished from the Tian Yuan Continent for a very long time. Has he been cultivating at the bottom of the lava the entire time …"
Quite a few people recognized Jianchen as soon as he appeared. Cries immediately rang out from the crowd. He was famous on the Tian Yuan Continent now, so the number of experts who did not know him could be counted with one hand.
The experts of the Hundred Races all stared at Jianchen, especially the dwarf patriarch Hanke. His eyes were as wide as bells. He did not recognize Jianchen, but he knew that it was extremely likely that the person who had forged the two swords was in the depths of the lava.
"Isn't that the ruler of the Turtle clan?" The experts of the Sea race looked at each other. They were all members of the Poseidon Hall, so they were familiar with Jianchen as well. They recognized him with a single glance.
Intense killing intent immediately flashed through the eyes of Kaiser and Lankyros the moment they saw Jianchen. The path lord of carnal desires glanced at the king and the Tiger Emperor, Langkonliss, and revealed a meaningful smile.
Jianchen stood straight on one of the volcanoes. His face was pale and haggard, as if he had fallen ill. Even though that was the case, his tall figure gave people the feeling that he was as immovable as a mountain. His eyes were extremely bright and shone brightly.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Kaiser and Lankyros in the sky. His gaze sharpened at that moment, and he sneered, "Kaiser, Lankyros, I never thought that I would run into the two of you as soon as I emerged from seclusion. It's great that you've come. It saves me the trouble of looking for you."
Kaiser and Lankyros' faces immediately became cold. Kaiser snorted coldly and stared at Jianchen in disdain. He said, "Jianchen, the three magical beasts of our magical beasts are not here. Without their protection, you're just an ant in our eyes. Crushing you to death is a piece of cake."
