Chapter 71

"Only divine weapons can counter divine weapons?"

Lin Yuan remained calm. There was nothing wrong with this statement. Over thousands of years, under the subtle influence of divine weapons, the martial arts system of this world had become distorted.

It focused solely on refining the physical body and enhancing one's life force. Even the most outstanding individuals ultimately reached the stage of Blood Refining Martial Saint, becoming the 'delicacies' in the eyes of many divine weapons.

However, Blood Refining Martial Saint, at most, equated to the peak of the second rank. The various divine weapons were at least quasi-fourth rank entities. Measuring them using the hierarchy of the main world, they differed by at least a dozen realms.

"Are you suggesting that the so-called 'evil weapons' are also divine weapons?"

Lin Yuan asked with interest.

"That's the truth."

Sikong Lun nodded and said.

"With Your Excellency's status, you should know that all divine weapons come from thousands of years ago."

Thousands of years ago, ancient divine beings sacrificed mountains and rivers, melted the four seas, and forged many divine weapons. All the divine weapons of this era originated from that period.

Lin Yuan's thoughts fluctuated, but he continued to gaze calmly at Sikong Lun.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Under Lin Yuan's scrutiny, Sikong Lun felt a lot of pressure and continued speaking.

"Thousands of years ago, the divine weapons forged by ancient divine beings were far more than thirty-six. However, for some unknown reason, most of these divine weapons were shattered. Only thirty-six intact divine weapons remained. Those shattered divine weapons were later designated as 'evil weapons' by the thirty-six countries of the Central Plains."

Sikong Lun finished in one breath. Even within the Anti-God Society, this information was considered top secret, known only to leaders like him.

"Indeed."

Lin Yuan understood many doubts in his heart.

"Your Excellency, although I don't know which force you come from, the thirty-six national divine weapons treat us human beings like pigs and dogs. They have to consume a large number of living sacrifices regularly. Who could endure such behavior?"

Seeing Lin Yuan remaining silent, Sikong Lun immediately continued.

"This is why the Anti-God Society has been able to withstand the siege of the thirty-six countries and persist. Apart from relying on the protection of certain 'evil weapons', it is more because the act of divine weapons consuming people easily sparks resistance among many human beings. As long as they understand the truth, a considerable number of people may not join the Anti-God Society, but at least they won't stand against it. After all, if the Anti-God Society overturns the divine weapons in the future, it will also be beneficial for people like us."

"Do you want to join the Anti-God Society?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Yuan's face. While he did have thoughts about the Anti-God Society, it was not about joining them. Instead, he planned to use the Anti-God Society for his own purposes.

"Bring an 'evil weapon' over, and I will consider it."

After contemplating for a moment, Lin Yuan spoke. So far, he was still not a match for a true fully-empowered 'divine weapon'.

On the stone platform lay a 'fragment.' It seemed to be a part of a mirror.

"Oh?"

"This Anti-God Society was supposed to be wiped out, wasn't it?"

"Why are you still alive?"

A spiritual fluctuation emanated from the 'fragment.'

The tone carried a hint of interest.

"It's like this."

Sikong Lun disclosed everything he knew.

There was no way around it. If he wanted to take the evil weapon to meet Lin Yuan, the evil weapon had to be willing.

"So that's how it is."

The spiritual fluctuation from the 'fragment' continued.

"Do you want this lord to directly control the other person when meeting him?"

The 'fragment' continued its inquiry.

The 'fragment' was part of the divine weapon 'Sacred Heart Mirror.' Even if broken, it still had the ability to confuse and enslave people's hearts. However, this ability was used sparingly, as it burdened the 'fragment' itself. Most importantly, the fluctuations emitted when the evil weapon acted could easily be detected by true divine weapons.

There was a potential risk of reviving the Divine Weapons that guard the nations if the fragment of the Sacred Heart Mirror controls Lin Yuan, a powerful figure. Although the probability is low, it would be a significant gain for the fragment.

The fragment desires to control Lin Yuan and use his forces to feed on Martial Saints, restoring its damaged essence. The Divine Weapons of each nation regularly consume a large number of human sacrifices, but the fragment, being an evil weapon, doesn't enjoy such privileges.

Sikong Lun reassures the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment about the truthfulness of his information. The fragment agrees to accompany Sikong Lun and remarks on the nostalgic taste of Martial Saints.

As they approach Lin Yuan's location, the fragment is eager to take control of him and use his Martial Saints to replenish its essence.

Upon reaching the deepest part of a hall, the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment senses a dangerous aura, realizing that a genuine Divine Weapon is present.

Perceiving the threat, the fragment decides to retreat, as it finds the situation inexplicable and risky.

As the fragment begins to withdraw, a voice from the hall invites them inside. Suddenly, a powerful force, a merging of Yin and Yang energies, forms a colossal hand that captures the retreating Sacred Heart Mirror fragment and swiftly retracts into the hall.
