Chapter 3565 Half-Step Second-Rank Innate Emperor Weapon

the Weapon into the Body!

This wasn’t the first time Shen Changqing had done something like this.

However, when his divine sense entered the black battle armor, and he used the weapon spirit’s indestructible body technique to completely refine this supreme treasure, the sudden burst of violent power still caused Shen Changqing’s sea of consciousness to tremble.   ”Roar!”   In the chaotic void, a Xuan Turtle that blotted out the sky appeared there. Its four legs were as thick as mountains supporting the heavens, and its back carried a vast world. Its   scarlet eyes met Shen Changqing’s, and the violent and ferocious intent made the entire chaos tremble violently.   This was the Xuan Turtle’s remaining will.   Even if Shen Changqing completely refined the Xuan Turtle’s shell into a supreme treasure, he couldn’t truly erase the Xuan Turtle’s will.   However,   Shen Changqing was not afraid   of this Xuan Turtle’s will.   He could kill a living Xuan Turtle, let alone a mere remaining Xuan Turtle will.   Such lingering resentment would be unbearable for any other Immortal Emperor.   But for Shen Changqing, it was utterly insignificant.   The resentment of the Xuan Turtle attacked, seemingly intent on annihilating Shen Changqing on the spot. Shen Changqing’s sea of consciousness trembled, and his vast divine power condensed into a blood-red immortal sword, which he slashed directly at the Xuan Turtle’s resentment.   No matter how unwilling the Xuan Turtle’s resentment was, it couldn’t withstand such power.   With one strike,   the Xuan Turtle’s resentment was severed from its body.   The next instant   , the resentment dissipated.   However—   in the instant the Xuan Turtle’s resentment vanished, a meteor suddenly fell from the void, its overwhelming stellar power crashing down.   Simultaneously, scorching immortal fire burned the heavens and earth, attempting to completely refine Shen Changqing.   All the methods Shen Changqing had used to forge the weapon were now being replicated within him.   This was the most difficult hurdle in the process of forging a weapon into his body.   Divine materials can withstand countless trials, but that doesn’t mean cultivators can.   Ultimately,   it tests one’s will and foundation.   However, Shen Changqing’s will was already as firm as a rock, and his foundation was beyond question.   Therefore, the refining of the black armor was relatively smooth.   …   After a long time,   when the black armor had completely merged with Shen Changqing, the refining process was considered complete.   Shen Changqing opened his eyes, feeling the changes in his body, and then summoned the Karma-Slaying Immortal Sword, making a light but firm slash at his arm.   The sharpness of the second-grade innate imperial weapon only left a shallow white mark on his arm.   When Shen Changqing truly activated the power of the second-grade innate imperial weapon, a sharp pain shot through his arm, and his skin split open. However, before blood could flow from the wound, it healed completely.   ”Although the black armor hasn’t reached the level of a second-grade innate imperial weapon, it’s already halfway to that level.   Now that I’ve refined it into my body, my physical defense is comparable to a half-step second-grade innate imperial weapon.   While this level of defense can’t withstand the sharpness of a second-grade innate imperial weapon, it poses no threat whatsoever to ordinary first-grade innate imperial weapons!”   Shen Changqing was extremely satisfied with this result. His   physical defense was comparable to a half-step second-grade innate imperial weapon.   In short,   ordinary half-saints wouldn’t even have the ability to break through his own defenses.   This   was the extraordinary nature of the indestructible body of the weapon spirit.   By bearing the treasure within his physical body, he could refine it into his body, perfectly inheriting the treasure’s defensive power, making him virtually invincible.   ”With such a legacy in hand, the Heavenly Forging Palace, if used properly, can almost guarantee its perpetual prosperity!”   Shen Changqing thought to himself.   After all, once one successfully cultivates the Undying Body of the Artifact Spirit, and can bear a Primordial Emperor Weapon in their physical body, it’s like gaining an extra half-saint combat power.   Although   merely possessing a physical body equivalent to a half-saint makes it difficult to suppress cultivators of the same level,   invincibility is   ,   in a sense, sufficient.   Moreover,   if one can truly bear a Primordial Emperor Weapon, then such a Celestial Emperor would definitely belong to the elite group below half-saint.   Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the Heavenly Forging Palace to decline.   But unfortunately, the Heavenly   Forging Palace is still in decline.   Ultimately   , it’s due to a lack of successors; even with top-tier inheritances, they can’t truly utilize them.   Such situations are not uncommon in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.   Take the Nine Luminaries Immortal Court, for example. Even with a supreme Celestial Emperor inheritance like the Nine Luminaries World-Suppressing Scripture, what good is it?   The Nine Luminaries Immortal Court still declined.   The reason is simply that its descendants are incompetent.   ”It’s a pity that the limit of the Indestructible Body of the Artifact Spirit can only support a third-grade innate emperor weapon. If it could be further improved, then the importance of this secret technique would definitely rise several levels!”   Shen Changqing said with some regret, but in an instant, this thought dissipated from his mind.   Being able to support a third-grade innate emperor weapon was enough for now.   Moreover,   with the Seven Profound Divine Tower in hand, if he had enough top-grade immortal stones in the future, Shen Changqing was confident that he could further develop the Indestructible Body of the Artifact Spirit.   However—   top-grade immortal stones were rare.   It would probably not be easy to gather enough top-grade immortal stones to develop the Indestructible Body of the Artifact Spirit.   …   ”Sect Master, the number of calamities in the Thousand Demon Domain has decreased sharply, with only a few scattered calamities appearing, but their cultivation level is only at the Ancient Immortal Realm, and they no longer pose a great threat!”   Mingxi said in a deep voice in the sect’s immortal hall.   During the time that Shen Changqing had been in seclusion to forge weapons and cultivate the Indestructible Body of the Artifact Spirit, the Thousand Demon Domain had completely suppressed the calamities.   The few remaining evil beasts were no longer capable of causing any trouble.   Therefore…

Most of the sect cultivators originally responsible for guarding the Thousand Demon Domain withdrew to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.   This was

n’t just the case in the Thousand Demon Domain;

the Azure Sky Domain and even the Void Star Domain were in similar situations.

However, things weren’t entirely smooth sailing.   The Void Star Domain also encountered a counterattack from the demonic beasts, with over a dozen Immortal Emperor-level demonic beasts appearing, nearly causing the entire Void Star Domain to collapse.   But later, Duan Changsheng personally intervened, venturing into the Void Star Domain and completely suppressing those dozen demonic beasts with absolute power, allowing the Void Star Domain to catch its breath.   At this moment,   many cultivators’ gazes were subtly fixed on Duan Changsheng.   They all held this sect elder, who had appeared   out of nowhere, in deep awe. Although they didn’t know Duan Changsheng’s origins, everyone understood that his appearance was related to Shen Changqing.   However, no one knew where Shen Changqing had found a half-saint level expert.   And everyone had witnessed Duan Changsheng’s strength.   Especially in the battle at the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion, he slew the Xuan Turtle Demon Beast, and in the battle at the Void Star Domain, he single-handedly suppressed more than a dozen Immortal Emperor Demon Beasts. Such strength is enough to inspire awe.   With such a powerful figure in the sect, the foundation of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect naturally reaches a new level.   As the various peaks reported on the situation of the demon calamity, Shen Changqing tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, and after a long while, he finally spoke.   ”The pacification of the demon calamity is only temporary. The source of the demon calamity in the Divine Sun Domain has not yet been resolved, so this matter must not be taken lightly.   I believe that all Immortal Domains should set up defensive lines in the Chaos Realm. There is no need to stop the demon beasts from advancing; we only need to observe their movements at all times.   However… these matters should be left to the local forces of each Immortal Domain. Our sect does not need to interfere too much!”   The source of the demon calamity has never been within the mid-level Immortal Domains.   Moreover,   this demon calamity originated in the Divine Sun Domain and swept across most of the Divine Wind Continent. The number of demon beasts is immeasurable, and there are definitely many demon beasts that have reached the Longevity level.   The batch of evil beasts suppressed by the Xuantian Dao Sect were utterly insignificant compared to the evil beasts of the entire evil calamity.   No one could guarantee when the evil calamity would return.   Upon hearing this,   the joy on everyone’s faces vanished, replaced by grim expressions.   ”Sect Master is wise!”   ”Furthermore, what is the situation in the other immortal realms?”   Shen Changqing changed the subject, asking again.   Chu Junhe shook his head: “Currently, in Shenfeng Prefecture, most of the middle-level and above immortal realms have fallen, with very few truly surviving.   We cannot know much about the situation in the high-level and top-tier immortal realms for the time being.   But of the two hundred middle-level immortal realms, most have already perished, leaving only twenty or thirty struggling to survive.   If the evil calamity continues to spread, they probably won’t be able to hold out for much longer!”   Chu Junhe paused, then continued   .   ”Now, more than a dozen Immortal Realms have sent troops to request assistance, willing to pay a certain price in order for our sect to help them suppress the evil spirits—”   ”Absurd! With the evil spirits raging, our Xuantian Dao Sect is already at its limit in suppressing several Immortal Realms. Where would we get the extra power to assist them?   If we were to agree to their demands, even if we invested more resources   , it wouldn’t be enough. How can we waste the lives of our sect’s cultivators so recklessly!”   Yang Daoxu said coldly as soon as Chu Junhe finished speaking.   Anyone with eyes could see the current situation clearly.   The idea that the Xuantian Dao Sect would suppress the evil spirits in exchange for paying a certain price was absolutely impossible.   Not only Yang Daoxu objected, but the other peak leaders also shared the same view.   However,   despite their opposition   , they all knew very well that the final decision rested with Shen Changqing.   Therefore, after some discussion, everyone’s gaze turned to the person in the main seat.   Shen Changqing remained calm: “With the sect’s current resources, guarding a few immortal domains is already the limit. Back when the Azure Nether Domain was in turmoil, even the Heavenly Forging Palace had to intervene to suppress it.   If we were to disperse our forces to guard more immortal domains, we would ultimately be unable to do so.   Furthermore, if our sect agrees to their demands, and other immortal domains come seeking assistance, how would our sect cope?”   ”Therefore—”   ”This matter must not be agreed to!”   ”Just as the Supreme Elder said, how can we waste the lives of our sect’s cultivators like this!”   Shen Changqing paused slightly, then looked at Chu Junhe.   ”Peak Master Chu, you should simply refuse them. In the current chaos and turmoil, our Xuantian Dao Sect is already at its limit in terms of protecting itself; we truly have no extra resources to lend them.”   ”I will obey the Sect Master’s order!”   Chu Junhe nodded in acceptance.
