Chapter 123.1
The clanging and banging sounds emanated from the mouth of the volcanic cave.
Everyone noticed that as the divine sword was about to emerge, the sounds of hammering became more frequent, and each sound was different, filled with rhythm, like a musical movement.
Accompanying the hammering was the clear and resonant sound of the swords cry.
Clang, clang, clang
The sound was crisp and pleasant to the ear, spreading for miles, unceasing.
As the swords cry was heard, the swords brought by everyone also hummed softly, as if responding or as if showing submission.
Such a scene warmed everyones hearts.
This is absolutely an unparalleled, exceptional sword!
Before the sword has even appeared, it has already made all other swords in the world submit! Once it emerges, it will surely dazzle the entire world!
If one could possess this sword, they would undoubtedly become invincible across the land and dominate the world!
Such a fine sword! This sword should rightfully belong to me!
The divine sword must be wielded by one who is virtuous!
Everyones hearts were growing more and more excited, fearing that they wouldnt be able to restrain themselves from fighting over the sword as soon as it appeared.
Although no one has made a move yet, everyone has already started to be wary of each other.
The emergence of the Divine Sword will signal the time for a great battle!
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Lin Beifan has already issued an order, recalling all 100,000 troops from the mountain back to guard the edges of the capital city, forbidding those from the rivers and lakes to enter the city and disturb the peace.
On the mountain, only a few Innate masters such as the Wine Sword Immortal and the Empty Hand Master remain.
Their main task now is to protect Ouyezi until the Divine Sword is fully forged.
Clang, clang, clang
The sound of the sword being forged is becoming more frequent.
Everyone senses that the time for the Divine Sword to appear is drawing near.
Ignoring the scorching heat of the volcano, they all surged into the crater, waiting for the divine sword to be born.
At this moment, the forging of the divine sword was in its final stage.
The shape of the sword had emerged. It was a sword about four chi and two cun long, two and a half inches wide, with a very ancient appearance. Its body was pitch-black like ink, without any fancy decorations. (TLN: 1 chi=30.3 cm, 1 cun=3.03 cm.)
The edge was not yet sharpened, but the swords nascent sharpness was already so intimidating that it was hard to look at directly.
What a fine sword! someone couldnt help but exclaim.
This must indeed be a fine sword; otherwise, why would it have drawn all of us here? another person responded with a laugh.
Just then, Ouyezi actually threw the sword into the lava.
Everyone became angry: What are you doing?
What do you know?
Ouyezi said disdainfully, I am letting it absorb the essence of fire from the lava to complete its final tempering! Once it has absorbed the essence of fire, the sword will be formed, becoming an unparalleled divine sword in the world!
Sure enough, as soon as Ouyezis words ended, the divine sword that had been plunged into the lava was rapidly absorbing the essence of fire, and its blade quickly turned red.
As it continued to absorb the heat, everyone could clearly feel that the cave had become much cooler.
And the lava actually turned black and solidified!
That was because the divine sword had absorbed all the heat from the lava.
He made a decisive decision, dropping the divine sword, but his body was already scorched.
Especially that hand which had grasped the sword, it was burned to the point where only bones remained, which he then resolutely severed with gritted teeth.
Such a scene, once again, left everyone in shock.
Even an Innate couldnt lift this sword, could they?
This is the real divine sword! The divine sword has a spirit and will choose its own master. None of you are its master, so youd better leave quickly! Ouyezi once again advised.
I dont believe it! Today, I must take this sword with me no matter what!
Another powerful Innate appeared, his entire body filled with fierce Sword Qi, clearly a master of the sword path.
Those who recognized him exclaimed in surprise.
Thats Meteor Sword, Meteor Invincible!
His swordsmanship is superb; 10 years ago, he was already unbeatable across the land. It is said that he has reached the realm of a heavy sword without edge!
(TLN: True mastery and power in swordsmanship do not solely rely on the sharpness of the blade.)
Unexpectedly, he has also come. Can he wield the divine sword?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he approached the divine sword and grasped it firmly: Rise for me!
The divine sword was slowly pulled up by him.
At this moment, the divine sword struggled, releasing intense flames that scorched the one who attempted to draw it.
I have Astral Qi protecting my body, I fear you not!
An indestructible Astral Qi appeared around the Meteor Invincible, safeguarding his entire body and resisting the scorching flames.
With that, he managed to firmly grasp the sword in his hand.
I am the chosen one by destiny, this sword now belongs to me, haha!
The Innate masters hidden in the shadows could no longer hold back, and one after another, they burst forth to attack.
You are not worthy of possessing the divine sword; leave the sword behind!
Drop the sword and your life will be spared!
Dont force me to take action!
This group of powerhouses actually numbered 27, with more than half of them having reached the Astral Qi level, and among them, three had attained the Imperial Qi tier.
This force was incredibly formidable, but Meteor Invincible stood undaunted: If you wish to take the divine sword from me, lets see if you have the capability! Attack!
He swung his sword with great force, creating a terrifying fire serpent that swept through all directions!
Whoosh whoosh~
A wave of heat surged forth, and all the surrounding experts couldnt help but dodge!
What a powerful sword!
Fall back!
Following that, both sides engaged in intense combat.
