Chapter 207: Tenth Place on the divine artifact ranking list
Three days! They passed quietly as countless living beings waited in eager anticipation.
As the dawn of the fourth day just barely broke across the horizon!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The golden heavenly curtain above the firmament suddenly erupted with an unprecedented, brilliant radiance!
Those weapon phantoms that had been neatly arranged began to tremble violently, and countless golden runes flowed and reorganized around them.
Finally, in the center of the heavenly curtain!
They condensed into five incomparably majestic gilded characters!
[ divine artifact ranking list ]
Immediately following this, the weapon phantom ranked tenth suddenly enlarged!
It transformed into a terrifying long blade, pitch-black all over, with dark purple abyssal Qi flowing along the blade's body!
That long blade phantom was ten zhang long!
At the edge of the blade, one could vaguely see countless wailing Souls struggling within the abyss.
The surface of the blade was covered with eerie patterns; the mere appearance of its phantom caused every observer to feel a chill emanating from the depths of their Soul.
The solemn and vast voice of the heavenly curtain resounded throughout the continent.
[ divine artifact ranking list, Tenth Place: abyssal divine blade ]
[ Grade ]: Third-Rank Divine Artifact
[ Characteristics ]: Contains fragments of the Abyssal Law, capable of devouring energy, corroding Souls, and tearing through space. Attacks carry an "Abyssal Erosion" effect, continuously weakening the target's defense and vitality.
[ Owner ]: Deep Sea Demon Whale King (Lord of the Endless Sea, million-year-old Divine Beast)
[ Reason for Ranking ]: Evolved from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Lifebound Weapon through heavenly curtain rewards, it contains the Abyssal Law, possesses great power, and has a high degree of compatibility with the holder's Bloodline. Considering overall power, potential, and compatibility, it is ranked tenth. ]
[ Ranking Rewards ]
1. Divine Artifact Enhancement: The base strength of the abyssal divine blade is permanently increased by 10%.
2. Exclusive Legacy: Rewards the accompanying blade technique "Abyssal Nine Forms" (consisting of nine layers; for every layer successfully Cultivated, the power of the abyssal divine blade increases by one level)
...
As the voice of the heavenly curtain faded.
Deep within the Endless Sea, in a massive palace constructed of coral and obsidian.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, over three hundred meters long, opened its blood-red eyes, its massive body swimming slowly within the palace.
It sensed a pitch-black beam of light descending from the sky, plunging straight into the black long blade floating deep within the palace!
"Hum!"
The abyssal divine blade emitted a resonant vibration!
The dark purple light on the blade suddenly surged.
An even deeper, more terrifying abyssal aura permeated the area.
On the surface of the blade, those eerie patterns began to come alive, squirming and extending like living creatures.
At the same time, a massive stream of information poured into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's consciousness.
It was a profound and mysterious blade technique Legacy — "Abyssal Nine Forms"!
"First Form, Abyssal Sea Splitter!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a low roar!
Its massive body instantly transformed into a streak of black light, rushing out of the palace and appearing above the sea surface.
Following this, its huge body began to shrink and deform.
Finally, it transformed into the image of a middle-aged man, eight feet tall, with a sinister face and wearing black scale armor.
Although it was more accustomed to fighting in its true form!
But when Cultivating blade techniques, human form was clearly more suitable.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King gripped the abyssal divine blade, feeling the connection of Bloodlines emanating from the blade, as well as the exquisite movement route of the blade technique in his mind.
He slowly raised the Divine Artifact, and dark purple abyssal Qi condensed on the blade.
"Abyssal Sea Splitter!"
He slashed out with the blade!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no phenomenon of space tearing.
There was only a streak of blade light, pitch-black and as deep as an abyss, silently submerging into the sea surface.
The next moment...
"Splash!"
The sea surface for a hundred miles was forcibly split open, creating a massive crack ten zhang wide and bottomless!
The seawater on both sides of the crack seemed to be blocked by some invisible force, unable to close!
It formed an abyssal corridor piercing through the sea surface!
Even more terrifying was that deep within the crack, one could vaguely see dark purple abyssal power spreading and eroding, as if it wanted to turn this sea area into a part of the abyss completely!
"Good blade technique!"
A gleam of pleasant surprise erupted in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes.
"Just the first form has such power!"
"If all nine forms are completed..."
He felt the power of the abyssal divine blade after its enhancement, and experienced the subtlety of the "Abyssal Nine Forms," a sense of unprecedented confidence surging in his heart.
His gaze involuntarily turned toward the direction of Sea God Island.
"Bo Saixi, although you have become a Divinity, you are ultimately only a Third-Rank Deity: a Tide God Emissary."
"And I possess the body of a million-year-old Divine Beast; now that I have obtained Divine Artifact enhancement and the blade technique Legacy..."
A strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "The Sea God failed to kill me back then; today, I want to see if you, this new guardian of the Sea God, can withstand my abyssal divine blade!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was very clear that Sea God Island possessed the Sea God's Legacy Divine Artifact.
The golden trident was an existence far surpassing a Third-Rank Divine Artifact.
But no matter how strong a Divine Artifact is, it depends on who uses it.
Although Bo Saixi had become a Divinity, she was ultimately just a subordinate divinity of the Sea God.
Her control over the golden trident was inevitably limited.
And his abyssal divine blade was his Lifebound Weapon connected to his Bloodline, capable of unleashing 120% of its power!
With one's growth and the other's decline...
"Sea God Island, just wait."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sneered and sheathed the blade into his body.
He transformed back into his Demon Whale form and sank into the deep sea.
"When I have fully comprehended the 'Abyssal Nine Forms,' that will be the day Sea God Island is destroyed!"
...
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent!
All forces, watching the power of that slash from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King through the heavenly curtain, were pale with shock.
Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi stood on the coast, her azure eyes gazing at the distant sea, at that abyssal corridor that had yet to heal after a long time; a look of gravity appeared on her peerlessly beautiful face.
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King... his strength has increased again."
She whispered to herself.
Sea Dragon Douluo stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "High Priest, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has always coveted our Sea God Island; now that he has obtained this Opportunity, I fear he will attack us before long."
Bo Saixi nodded slightly: "Pass the order to the Seven Sacred Pillars. Starting from today, fully activate the Sea God Grand Array. At the same time, have all Disciples who are out training return to the island as soon as possible."
She looked at the heavenly curtain, "The divine artifact ranking list has only just begun; there will be more Divine Artifacts on the list later."
"If our Sea God Island's golden trident can make the list and receive enhancement, perhaps..."
...
Spirit City, Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu watched the power of that slash from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King on the heavenly curtain, a trace of surprise flashing in his golden eyes.
"Third-Rank Divine Artifact... abyssal divine blade..."
He whispered to himself.
"It seems there is indeed a grading classification among Divine Artifacts."
As a descendant of the God of Angels, Qian Daoliu naturally knew the classification of Divine Artifacts.
In the God Realm, Divine Artifacts are generally divided into: Third-Rank Divine Artifacts, Second-Level Divine Artifacts, First-rank Divine Artifacts, and super divine artifacts.
Third-Rank Divine Artifacts correspond to Third-Rank Deities, Second-Level Divine Artifacts correspond to Second-Level Deities, and First-rank Divine Artifacts correspond to First-rank Deities.
And super divine artifacts...
Those are supreme treasures that only existences at the God King level can fully control.
"The Legacy Divine Artifact of the God of Angels should be able to reach the level of a First-rank Divine Artifact."
Qian Daoliu calculated in his heart.
"If it can obtain a ranking on the divine artifact ranking list and receive enhancement... it will be of great benefit to Xue'er's strength improvement."
He looked up at the heavenly curtain, a trace of expectation flashing in his eyes.
