Chapter 1021: Chapter 437: Breakthrough to Supreme Treasure; Another Great Battle Begins

"It’s here!"

Xu Ping’s expression was solemn.

The first tribulation thunder, like a gigantic silver-white dragon, tore through the sky with a deafening roar, striking down directly.

The Canghua Divine Wood Sword emitted a clear sword hum, actively meeting the challenge.

The sword’s body surged with green light, transforming into a cyan rainbow spanning across heavens, clashing fiercely with the silver thunder dragon.

"Bang!"

Thunder light exploded, Sword Qi scattered in all directions.

The Canghua Divine Wood Sword was blown back, its light slightly dimmed.

But soon, the golden veins on the sword body lit up, voluntarily absorbing a trace of the scattered power of the tribulation thunder, making its light even more pure and refined.

"Good!"

Xu Ping’s eyes lit up; this thunder tribulation was indeed a moment for refinement.

Next, the second color gradually shifted from silver-white to pale gold, its power increasingly terrifying.

The Canghua Divine Wood Sword continually submerged in the thunder light, sometimes piercing through like a cyan rainbow, sometimes forming a curtain of countless sword shadows to block the assault.

The sword trembled continuously under the thunder strikes, even appearing with fine cracks on its surface, yet internally, its spirituality grew and condensed at an astonishing speed, washed by the thunder tribulation.

Its connection with Xu Ping’s mind became increasingly intimate, seemingly extending his body.

Xu Ping fully concentrated, using his Divine Sense and Mana to protect it, guiding it to absorb the creative power within the thunder tribulation, repairing damage, and solidifying its essence.

Finally, when the third and final one appeared in pure gold, seemingly composed of liquid thunder, it descended.

The Canghua Divine Wood Sword emitted an unprecedented high-pitched sword hum.

It no longer evaded or dispersed sword light, but concentrated all its power onto the tip of the sword.

That point of green light was pure to the extreme, as if containing a nascent world.

"Break!"

Xu Ping, in sync with the sword, simultaneously uttered a low shout.

"Shh!"

The green-gold light point collided with the pure gold tribulation thunder, with no earth-shattering explosion, only a strange hum resembling the clash of laws.

Golden thunder light was split open by that extreme pure Yimu Sword Intent, transforming into the purest energy, irresistibly absorbed by the Canghua Divine Wood Sword like a whale swallowing water.

The tribulation clouds gradually dispersed, and the sky returned to brightness.

The Canghua Divine Wood Sword quietly floated in the air, where the original cracks had vanished entirely, replaced by a gentle yet profoundly unfathomable radiance.

The sword seemed carved from the finest immortal jade, with internal golden veins flowing like living creatures.

A Spiritual Pressure tenfold, hundredfold greater than before naturally emanated, perfectly blending the vitality of life with the sharpness of the sword.

More importantly, Xu Ping could clearly sense, at the core of the sword body, a newborn and pure spiritual consciousness tightly linked to his mind was born.

Artifact Spirit!

The mark of a supreme treasure, possessing a complete, self-growing Artifact Spirit.

The Canghua Divine Wood Sword, having endured tribulations, finally transformed into a supreme treasure.

"Master!"

Xu Ping reached out, and the Divine Wood Sword emitted a joyful hum, transforming into a stream of light and falling into his palm.

Touching the sword body, he could feel the attachment and immense power emanating from within.

Moreover, it could speak, possessed extraordinary spirituality, and could autonomously confront enemies.

"Let’s go, this place has already been noticed by others."

The Nine Nether Elder spoke calmly.

Xu Ping immediately collected his thoughts.

His powerful Divine Sense spread out like the tide, indeed sensing multiple presences of varying strength, peering into this area that had just experienced a thunder tribulation from different directions.

A supreme treasure’s birth, even with the Nether Obscuring Grand Formation concealing it, the ripples caused by the interaction with Heaven and Earth Laws eventually attracted attention from some sensitive existences.

"Hmm."

Xu Ping suppressed his inner excitement.

With a thought, the Canghua Divine Wood Sword, now a supreme treasure with concealed spirituality, transformed into a barely perceptible green light, entering his brow and returning to nourish by his Nascent Soul.

The three of them did not linger, each maneuvered their Escape Light, blending into the sky and sea like specters, disappearing instantly.

Escape Light swiftly traveled, weaving through clouds and waves.

Xu Ping proactively spoke: "If the Star Palace launches another major attack, Xu Mou will take action."

The Nine Nether Elder nodded slowly: "The Star Palace has occupied part of the outer sea territory. To continue deepening, the suppression of Heaven and Earth Laws faced will be stronger."

Last time they used two Heaven-Deceiving Talismans, the expenditure was definitely considerable. Next time, wanting to achieve victory in one move, they might employ cards even stronger than the Heaven-Deceiving Talisman.

If the Demon Race fails again, most of the outer sea will inevitably fall."

He paused, his tone carrying a touch of grimness: "Then, depending on the situation, this old man will also take action to obstruct the Star Palace’s advance."

"Xu, kid, you and I should cooperate. If we can harm the Dual Saints even further, that would be ideal."

Xu Ping nodded: "Naturally."

Although Xu Ping, Nine Nether Elder, and Hongyi each had their own calculations, they were united in preventing the Star Palace from completely controlling the outer sea.

United, they gained benefits; divided, they suffered losses.

...

Two months later, Xu Ping quietly returned to Blood Bone Island.

In the underground cave residence, all restrictions opened.

Xu Ping sat cross-legged, once again summoning the Canghua Divine Wood Sword.

By this time, the sword’s body radiated internally, flowing with warm jade-like cyan precious light throughout, the wooden texture at the hilt seemed alive, linked with his hand and bloodline, breathing as one.

"Master." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

A tender yet clear, with an incredibly intimate and dependent intent transmitted through the mind connection into Xu Ping’s Sea of Consciousness.

This was the newly born Artifact Spirit of the Canghua Divine Wood Sword.

Though naive, it instinctively regarded Xu Ping, who nurtured, cultivated, and helped it pass the thunder tribulation, as the closest being, like a father.
