Xiao Chen's gaze pierced through the flames. However, what he paid more attention to was the scarlet sword that gave off a lot of light.
The sword gave off a steady scarlet light like it was alive. The flickering light seemed like blood flowing in the arteries, making one think that this sword was not an inanimate object but a living being.
Xiao Chen could not help but think of the previous owner of this sword, the Blood Sword Sovereign, a legendary Martial Emperor who was even more dazzling than the Thunder Fire Sovereign in the Black Sea.
The ceremony had already begun. Many sword refiners gathered around the formation. These sword refiners bared their upper bodies and had grave expressions. All of them had clumps of golden flames leaping about wildly in their hands.
These were the Weapon Flames that these grandmaster swordsmiths spent their entire lives refining. They were extremely precious and were specially used to forge all sorts of Spirit Weapons.
At Fei Lengyi's command, the various swordsmiths formed profound hand seals and sent their Weapon Flames into the nodes of the formation.
In that instant, the five-colored formation, which used the Black Patterned Gold as the foundation and various divine materials, quickly ignited. Crackling sounds rang out continuously.
The toughness of the divine materials could only be ignited by a Weapon Flame. As the Weapon Flame crackled, several of the spectating Blue Robed Emperor's hearts thumped involuntarily.
The light of the flames was very beautiful. However, they were not burning waste paper but genuine divine materials, large amounts of Black Astral Coins, equivalent to the wealth of an ordinary Emperor Wu.
Even Xiao Chen felt some heartache for this Manor Lord. Even he did not have the courage to watch these divine materials burn before him without changing his expression.
As the flames burned, the divine materials turned into a crystalline liquid that flowed through the formation. Then, they followed a predetermined path to the flame altar in the center.
The grandmaster swordsmiths all showed nervous expressions, not daring to be careless as they controlled the Weapon Flame.
"Boom!"
When all the divine materials poured into the altar, the flame on the altar suddenly soared. A pillar of fire soared into the clouds, instantly piercing through the dark clouds that lingered in the sky.
The flames burned so brightly that even the dark clouds began to burn. A large area of sunlight was no longer blocked by the clouds, and it poured down unstintingly.
In the dark Black Water City, the sunlight in the Jadeite Mountain Manor was as eye-catching as holy light. It attracted the attention of the hundreds of millions of cultivators in the city. It was no exaggeration to say that hundreds of millions of people were watching.
The Blue Robed Emperor of the Black Sea, who hadn't seen sunlight for a long time, looked at the sky greedily. He squinted his eyes and looked at the eternal sun outside the barrier of the sky.
Buzz buzz buzz!
A moment later, a divine might spread out from the altar and the Celestial Cloud Jadeite Sword began to tremble slightly. Everyone quickly retracted their gazes and focused on the altar. Their expressions were rather nervous and they did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
At this time, Xiao Chen only focused his attention on two people.
One was Yue Bingyun, who remained calm and unperturbed. At this moment, he could not help showing some nervousness on his face as he stared at the Heptagold Origin in Fei Lengyi's hand.
There was nothing surprising about this. This was Yue Bingyun's true emotions. If she was not nervous at all at this moment, it would be truly strange. This was truly strange. Xiao Chen even suspected that this woman was not from the Lunar Palace.
However, Fei Lengyi's gaze surprised him. Although Fei Lengyi's gaze was fixed on the altar, Xiao Chen clearly discovered that Fei Lengyi's true gaze was wandering around the place. He seemed to be searching for something somewhat anxiously. However, Fei Lengyi's gaze surprised Xiao Chen.
After searching for a long time, Fei Lengyi did not find anything. He revealed a clear expression of disappointment. This greatly shocked Xiao Chen. He wondered if he saw wrong.
Fei Lengyi had not even reached the final step, so why was he disappointed?
However, this disappointed expression only appeared for an instant before vanishing. Xiao Chen could no longer find it.
Fei Lengyi laughed self-mockingly in his heart. Then, his lips moved, and he tossed the Heptagold Origin in his hand at the altar without hesitation.
Fei Lengyi's actions seemed to contain some resentment, filled with rage. If he had not carefully suppressed it, given his half-step Emperor Wu's cultivation, this aura would have been extremely terrifying.
After seeing Fei Lengyi toss out the Heptagold Origin, Yue Bingyun's expression relaxed completely compared to the extremely anxious Blue Robed Emperor.
Xiao Chen frowned heavily. He guessed something in his heart. He figured out what Fei Lengyi's lips were mumbling to himself.
The lip language was: After fifteen years of preparation, I pierced through the sky. However, I still do not receive your gaze. In that case, let a bloody storm descend on the entire Black Sea!
However, everyone's gazes were attracted by the Heptagold Origin in Fei Lengyi's hand. No one noticed this lip language at all. Only Xiao Chen happened to notice it.
"Whoosh!
Whoosh! "The Heptagold Origin spun as it flew to the altar. Whether the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword could successfully advance into a Transcendent Divine Weapon and kick up a bloody storm would be revealed in a few breaths.
The gazes of the more than one thousand Blue Robed Emperors all focused on the Heptagold Origin shining with light. In the eyes of these Blue Robed Emperors, the speed at which the Heptagold Origin spun was very clear.
All of them held their breaths, raising their heads in anticipation.
However, Xiao Chen had a bad feeling in his heart. He glanced at Yue Bingyun beside him and saw the power of the world around her move rapidly, forming a strong, formless wind. A terrifying aura brewed continuously.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, Something is wrong. He quickly looked at the Heptagold Origin, but all he saw was a scarlet light bursting out of it.
Before the more than one thousand gazes, the Heptagold Origin that fell into the altar did not merge into the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword as everyone expected.
Instead, the instant the Heptagold Origin fell into the altar, it exploded, instantly destroying the altar. The shockwaves spread throughout the refining formation, rumbling endlessly.
The Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword stabbed into the altar trembled intensely, giving off a dazzling scarlet light. A horrifying Divine Might spread out from the sword.
The scarlet light grew increasingly brighter, piercing and dazzling. The sword that absorbed hundreds of divine materials seemed to reach a critical point, no longer able to maintain its balance.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. At this moment, everyone knew that something was wrong with the Heptagold Origin. This Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword was going to explode.
What kind of horrifying destructive power would the explosion of a Divine Weapon produce? Just thinking about the consequences made everyone tremble in fear, sending a chill down their backs.
"Quickly run! The Divine Weapon is going to explode!"
Amidst the bloody light, everyone panicked and retreated without hesitation. However, it was too late to retreat now. Nearly at the same time the Heptagold Origin landed on the altar, the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword exploded.
A scarlet shock wave containing Divine Might surged out in all directions.
There was no time to prepare. The shock wave immediately knocked several Blue Robed Emperors into the air. Some of the weaker ones suffered severe injuries from the explosion. They vomited blood endlessly, and their complexions paled.
The Blue Robed Emperor could stir up the clouds with just a raise of his hand. However, before this scarlet light, he appeared incredibly weak.
The instant the scarlet light surged over, Xiao Chen activated three thousand Heavenly Laws in a thousandth of an instant. He drove the vast power of the world and formed a dense protective shield in front of him.
Even though Xiao Chen's reaction was fast, his Qi and blood still surged. After vomiting a mouthful of blood, he felt much better.
When Xiao Chen looked around, there was no longer a single Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperor standing. The Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor standing was in a sorry state, with many wounds on his body.
Only the Blue Robed Emperors at the gates remained standing, suffering only minor injuries.
Yue Bingyun calmly scattered the power of the world before her as she asked Xiao Chen, "Are you alright?"
Xiao Chen smiled coldly when he saw Yue Bingyun, who appeared to be unscathed and looked even more relaxed than those Consummation Blue Robed Emperors.
Since Yue Bingyun was not injured at all, it was naturally not because she was stronger than those Consummation Blue Robed Emperors. Instead, it was because she had anticipated this.
She was the one who arranged for the tampered Heptagold Origin to be auctioned off, all for the sake of tricking Fei Lengyi.
No wonder this woman was fearless from the start, not showing any nervousness at all. So, that was the case. Now, everything came to light.
This woman was truly incredible. Her boldness was flabbergasting. Unexpectedly, she thought of such a decisive method, directly destroying a Divine Weapon.
From start to end, when Xiao Chen thought about it carefully, he felt a lingering fear.
After wiping away the blood from a corner of his lips, Xiao Chen said indifferently, "No wonder Miss Bingyun was so fearless. This Xiao really underestimated you. For you to be able to become the Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter, you are indeed extraordinary. Admirable!"
"Are you mocking me?"
"I don't dare!"
Yue Bingyun smiled faintly and said calmly, "You are still too naive. Right now, the peak factions of the oceanic world are in a delicate balance. This Fei Lengyi simply does not know what the consequences will be if my Lunar Palace loses the Startling Phoenix Zither.
"Several factions much stronger than his Jadeite Mountain Manor do not dare to rashly refine a Transcendent Divine Weapon. They are afraid of stirring up a commotion between the major factions, resulting in chaos. No one can bear such a consequence."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he felt stunned. However, he quickly calmed down. Actually, he did not disagree with Yue Bingyun's actions. If he were in Yue Bingyun's shoes, he would have done the same.
Different positions had different standpoints. In the end, Xiao Chen was angry at the other party for not telling him in advance.
Xiao Chen looked at Fei Lengyi. He was the closest to the altar and had blocked most of the might of the Divine Weapon's explosion.
Fei Lengyi lay on the ground, covered in blood. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The broken sword had melted into a blood cocoon above the altar, floating in the air. It was unknown what it contained. On top of the blood cocoon, there was a sparkling and translucent jadeite that emitted a deep blue light.
This piece of Divine Jadeite forged from a star had a unique charm. Several of the Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperors were tempted, revealing greedy expressions in their eyes. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
When three Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperors saw Fei Lengyi lying on the ground, they could not help flying into the air, wanting to grab this piece of Divine Jadeite.
"Scram!"
A shout rang out, and Fei Lengyi, who was on the ground, suddenly soared up. Then, he threw three palm strikes. The mountains and rivers of the Jadeite Mountain Manor seemed to move under the force of these three palm strikes, merging with the mountains and rivers.
