Chapter 2361: Divine Artifact Master
This day, the Ancient Realm Clan received a guest, and the elder of the Ancient Realm Clan specially introduced him to Lin Feng.
This person wore a clean set of white robes, upon which were engraved complex patterns, vast as the stars, actually giving off an ethereal artistic conception. Moreover, the aura of this young man himself gave Lin Feng a sense of a master's bearing, extraordinary.
"I heard that a few days ago, the Evil God of the Ancient Realm Clan single-handedly slaughtered all the saint-level figures of the Flame Temple, shaking the Nine Heavens. I suppose that must be you," the young man said, looking at Lin Feng with a smile before the Ancient Realm Clan members could introduce him. His bearing was extraordinary, and though young, he already possessed the temperament of a grandmaster.
"Slaughtering saints is a bit of an exaggeration. I merely used some means to kill a few who had just entered the saint realm. It was indeed my doing. May I ask who you are?" Lin Feng was very curious. Behind the young man, he saw several saint-level figures who had gone to kill the saints of the Flame Temple that day. They clearly held this young man in high regard, which surprised Lin Feng greatly. It seemed this young man's identity was extraordinary.
"Evil God, you've been moving around in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court for a while now. Have you ever heard of the Proud Heaven Saint Venerable?" the elder of the Ancient Realm Clan said to Lin Feng with a smile, causing Lin Feng's expression to freeze slightly. He had browsed countless volumes and records in the Fate Temple; how could he not have heard of the name Proud Heaven Saint Venerable? It was said that this person's cultivation had reached the pinnacle, a true Supreme Saint King realm figure, a peerless king. However, this person did not like fame or fortune and rarely showed himself in the Nine Heavens. Otherwise, everyone speculated that if he were to compete for fame and profit, he could establish a Divine Temple.
The reason for such high praise was, of course, not just because of his powerful strength. The Proud Heaven Saint Venerable had another name: Divine Artifact Master. It was said that he was the only terrifying existence in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court to enjoy the title of Divine Artifact Master. In the world of the Nine Heavens, he was number one in artifact refining, unmatched by anyone!
"Divine Artifact Master?" Lin Feng looked at the elder of the Ancient Realm Clan and said in a low voice.
"That's right, it is the senior Proud Heaven Divine Artifact Master." The elder of the Ancient Realm Clan smiled slightly, then looked at the young man and said to Lin Feng, "Senior Proud Heaven has three disciples under him, all of whom have inherited his artifact refining techniques and possess terrifying refining abilities. They can all forge top-grade Sacred King weapons with terrifying power. And the person before you is the disciple of the Void Refiner, one of the three, Hua Yi."
"Void Refiner, it's him." Lin Feng had also heard of this name. It was said that this person was skilled in terrifying spatial power and specialized in researching and refining Sacred King weapons with spatial abilities. Any weapon refined by his hands possessed terrifying spatial power.
The Divine Artifact Master, Proud Heaven Saint Venerable, had been mythologized in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court. His three disciples were all legends of a generation of masters and naturally did not move about outside easily. Countless people sought their help. Therefore, with their prestige, establishing a force would be effortless. However, the Divine Artifact Master had no interest in establishing a force, immersing himself in artifact refining, hoping one day to forge a divine weapon that would break through his own limits.
Lin Feng was quite surprised. The young man before him had such a background. Moreover, his contact with the Ancient Realm Clan could prove one thing: the Ancient Realm Clan had never truly disappeared. They simply moved about outside as individuals, without using the name of the Ancient Realm Clan.
"I have long admired the name of the Divine Artifact Master. If I am fortunate enough one day, I will definitely pay a personal visit," Lin Feng said with a smile, which was also a sign of respect for the Divine Artifact Master.
However, Hua Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "To be honest with you, I, as a grand-disciple, have only met my master's master once. It's too difficult to see him."
"Senior Divine Artifact Master wants to forge earth-shattering divine weapons, so naturally he must collect the most terrifying refining materials and travel the world. It's naturally difficult to see him," the strongman of the Ancient Realm Clan said with a smile. "This time, the Void Refiner was able to let you, Hua Yi, come to our Ancient Realm Clan to deliver the Sacred King weapons. We are already extremely grateful."
"You're welcome. What my master instructs, I naturally have to do well." Hua Yi's expression was calm as he spoke with a smile. Although he was a saint-level figure with a prominent status, he had no arrogance and was very casual.
"The Divine Artifact Master and his disciples are known for keeping their word. Who doesn't know that?" the strongman of the Ancient Realm Clan said with a smile. It was also for this reason that the Divine Artifact Master and his disciples had their current prestige. Countless people had begged them to refine Sacred King weapons. As long as they agreed and both parties discussed some matters, they would definitely fulfill the requests they had promised others. A promise was as good as gold. Therefore, even if some powerful figures had extremely precious materials, they dared to entrust them to the Divine Artifact Master to refine Sacred King weapons, without worrying about him embezzling them.
"Come, let's talk as we walk."
The group strolled through the Ancient Realm Clan. Hua Yi said to Lin Feng, "Evil God, I heard that when you killed the saint-level figures of the Flame Temple, you formed a formation with a single thought, showing terrifying attainments in the Dao of Arrays. I suppose you have already reached the level of Array Artisan, right? There is no shortage of powerful martial artists on the continent, but Array Artisans are rare. And formations are essential for artifact refining. If you were to refine artifacts, you would surely achieve great success."
"I am not skilled in this path. If I were to delve into the study of artifact refining, I'm afraid it would hinder my cultivation. It's a trade-off," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"That's true. But the only time I met my master's master, I heard him lecture on the Dao. He said that all great Daos share the same origin, and if all things return to their source, they can be unified into one. Unfortunately, my talent is dull, and I cannot comprehend my master's master's profound realm."
"Senior Divine Artifact Master is gifted by heaven, achieving unparalleled success in artifact refining while also reaching the pinnacle in strength," the strongman of the Ancient Realm Clan sighed. "Perhaps the senior meant that our cultivation and artifact refining are also of the same origin, ultimately returning to one. Unfortunately, I cannot comprehend such a realm."
"Perhaps," Hua Yi said with a smile. But at that moment, the earth suddenly shook. In the void above, it seemed as if a terrifying attack force was about to pierce through the sky.
The strongmen of the Ancient Realm Clan looked up at the void without any surprise, very naturally. They said, "The Flame Temple has come faster than I imagined."
"The Flame Temple?" Lin Feng's expression froze, and he murmured, "Our Ancient Realm Clan is skilled in concealment. Can the Flame Temple find us like this?"
"If we don't want them to know, they naturally won't be able to find us," a strongman of the Ancient Realm Clan said with a meaningful smile, which startled Lin Feng. Was the Ancient Realm Clan doing this intentionally?
"Let's go. Today, Hua Yi brought the Sacred King weapons, just in time to let the Flame Temple witness the power of the Sacred King weapons. We'll just go out and watch the excitement," the strongman of the Ancient Realm Clan continued. Then his body shot towards the void. The clouds in the sky seemed to be split open, rolling to both sides. The group's figures directly tore through the void and arrived at the misty mountain peak outside. At this moment, a group of strongmen from the Flame Temple exuded terrifying auras. Especially one of them, standing there, his pressure enveloped heaven and earth, as if with a single thought, heaven and earth would burn.
However, these strongmen of the Flame Temple had grave expressions, their gazes fixed on the person in front of them. It was a strongman of the Ancient Realm Clan. His aura was calm, and in his hand, he held a Void World Diagram, as if it contained an inner world, with mountain and river patterns, surging lakes, and flowing seawater. Even more shocking was that at this moment, a strongman was inside, frantically attacking that world.
"What kind of weapon is this?" a strongman of the Flame Temple asked, his expression cold, staring at the World Diagram in the other's hand.
"Do you want to see?" the strongman of the Ancient Realm Clan said with a smile. Then, a terrifying realm light enveloped his body. The next moment, his figure directly disappeared. The Mountain and River Diagram appeared, transforming into a world diagram that enveloped the area below.
"Retreat!" the opponent shouted. But the strongman of the Ancient Realm Clan stood on the Mountain and River World Diagram and said with a smile, "Where are you retreating to?"
As he spoke, the entire space seemed to transform into one realm. This boundless realm force surged towards the World Diagram. The World Diagram seemed to turn into a black hole. The strongmen of the Flame Temple frantically retreated, but with their terrifying speed, they could not pull away, as if they had never moved at all.
"Get in!" the strongman of the Ancient Realm Clan shouted coldly. In an instant, the realm light of that space was swallowed by the World Diagram. That person's body was still frantically struggling, but at this moment, he was struggling within the World Diagram. Clearly, he himself did not even know that he had already fallen into that terrifying Sacred King weapon.
"Let's go!" the terrifying figure of the Flame Temple spat out a sound. Then, endless flames surged forward, burning everything.
"Since you're here, just stay. Why go back?"
The strongman of the Ancient Realm Clan sneered. His palm swept across, creating a self-contained space. The World Diagram rolled forward, enveloping everything, leaving nowhere for anyone to hide. The faces of the strongmen of the Flame Temple turned extremely ugly.
"Is the Ancient Realm Clan of today really this powerful? And that Sacred King weapon, it's probably already a top-grade upper-level Sacred King weapon, too terrifying," the Great Accomplishment Saint King of the Flame Temple thought in his heart. His body retreated, and the entire void burned. His body transformed into dark flames, charging into the distance. With a tearing sound, the self-contained space seemed to break open, and his body rushed out.
The others saw this and wanted to escape from there as well. But how could the great power of the Ancient Realm Clan let them go? His hand clenched, mending the sky with a single hand. Those terrifying saint-level existences had the strength but could not use it. They could only helplessly watch themselves be swallowed, falling into the world of that Sacred King weapon!
