Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 1847 - 1838: Black Giant Sword
"Uh..."
After hearing Li Mu’s words, Mo Wangchen’s face couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, then he said, "How about we switch it up? I’ll explore the left side with Brother Xu?"
After all, Xu Qingqiu is from the Chaos Universe like himself, and working with him gives Mo Wangchen some peace of mind.
If he were to be with Liu Qingxin, he would feel somewhat uncomfortable.
This woman seems easy to talk to, but the more so, the more unpredictable she is. Moreover, Mo Wangchen has only known her for a couple of days, which makes trust difficult. In such a dangerous environment, it’s inevitable to be cautious.
"What? Is Brother Mo afraid I’ll eat you?"
Upon hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Liu Qingxin laughed with alluring charm.
"Uh... No other meaning, Lord Liu, don’t misunderstand." Mo Wangchen scratched his head.
"Alright then, it’s decided. Brother Mo will continue with Lord Liu to the left, and I’ll go with Brother Xu to the right. Everyone, please be careful, and we’ll assemble back here in two hours."
Li Mu left these words and then said no more. After glancing at Xu Qingqiu, he led half of the chosen people toward the right side of the canyon. Their figures were soon swallowed by the darkness.
Mo Wangchen retracted his gaze from the direction where Li Mu and the others had disappeared, glanced at Liu Qingxin, and said, "Lord Liu, please lead the way."
Liu Qingxin smiled upon hearing this, without any hesitation, and soon moved to the front of the team, heading towards the left side of the canyon.
"Stop calling me ’lord’; it makes me sound much older than I am."
Walking within the pitch-black canyon, the group cautiously moved forward without finding anything. After about an hour, Liu Qingxin suddenly spoke beside Mo Wangchen.
Mo Wangchen was taken aback upon hearing her words, "Then I’ll call you Miss Liu from now on."
"There’s something unusual ahead!"
As the two chatted, it seemed someone in the team had made a discovery. A tall man stepped forward, squinting his eyes and raising his hand to point to the right side wall ahead.
"Hmm? Is it a Divine Spirit Bone?"
Everyone turned to look when they heard this, and Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.
Though the view was dim and murky, making things hard to see, after looking closely, he discovered a corpse was present beside the wall.
It was a golden skeleton, no different from the Divine Spirit Bones he had seen in the Wind Devouring Forest.
"This was a powerful warrior from the Divine Clan. Why did they perish here?"
Unable to resist their curiosity, the group slowly approached and discovered more.
They saw this Divine Spirit Bone was nailed to the canyon wall by a black giant sword that pierced through its chest, pinning it completely.
"Though countless ages have passed, it’s still evident there were fierce battle marks here. This formidable warrior from the Divine Clan was pinned here by their opponent." Mo Wangchen observed the marks around the Divine Spirit Bone and concluded.
"The Divine Clan are the Guardians of our Holy Realm. What happened in ancient times that even the everlasting Divine Clan disappeared?" Liu Qingxin furrowed her brow.
"Don’t disturb this Divine Spirit Bone to prevent unforeseen occurrences." Mo Wangchen cautioned everyone.
"Really not to touch it? Could this black giant sword be the Demon Weapon we’re seeking?" someone suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up. There was indeed a significant possibility.
"To see if it’s the Demon Weapon, why not pull it out to see?" said a brawny man stepping out from the team, looking fearless and bold.
Someone frowned, "We should be cautious. Pulling out the black giant sword may cause unforeseen events."
The brawny man laughed, "What could happen? It’s just a dead Divine Spirit; what, will it resurrect and kill us all?"
With that, he disregarded others’ warnings, walked a few steps to the Divine Spirit Bone, and reached out to pull the black giant sword.
"Hmm?"
But soon, the brawny man realized something was amiss, because no matter how much strength he used, the black giant sword was immovable, showing no signs of being pulled out.
"So sturdy?" He frowned and then looked at the others, "Why don’t you all try?"
"Let me." Mo Wangchen stepped out of the crowd, increasingly feeling that the black giant sword was extraordinary; otherwise, how could it be so firmly nailed to the wall, unmovable even by a Reverse Life Realm strongman?
He decided to personally intervene, for his Divine King Body strength was unparalleled. If even he couldn’t pull out the black giant sword, then likely none present could.
Due to the previous epic battle with Xing Tianyi outside the Tomb, everyone now knew the might of the Divine King Body. It was recognized that among those present, only Mo Wangchen had the best chance to pull the black giant sword out.
"Everyone, step back and be ready to retreat at any moment."
Mo Wangchen walked to the front of the Divine Spirit Bone and didn’t forget to remind everyone.
The sword was so sturdy on the wall; if pulled out by brute force, it might cause the valley to collapse, burying them all alive if not prepared to retreat.
Everyone obviously thought of this too, and involuntarily stepped back a bit.
Finally, under everyone’s gaze, Mo Wangchen exhaled lightly and reached out to grasp the hilt of the black giant sword.
He first applied slight strength, testing the sword’s sturdiness. As expected, as imagined, it was nearly impossible for an ordinary person to pull it out.
"Buzz..."
The Haotian God Technique was activated, unleashing endless power within Mo Wangchen’s Divine Sea. After breaking through Reverse Life second level, he gained unprecedented strength, fully manifested at this moment.
"Boom boom boom!"
He pulled the black giant sword with all his might, clearly feeling the sword move slightly, partially pulled out, while the ground trembled, sending some rocks sliding down the valley wall.
Mo Wangchen dared not pull the black giant sword out all at once, fearing it would collapse the whole valley, forcing him to pull it little by little.
Though some rocks still slid down, it wasn’t as drastic as imagined.
"The Divine King Body is truly powerful. I tried that sword before, and even a Reverse Life Realm level five could hardly pull it out, yet he managed." The brawny man said while watching Mo Wangchen pull the black giant sword bit by bit.
