Chapter 1410: Fourth-Tier Supreme Artifact - God-Slaying Dagger!
Chapter 1410 - The Supreme Divine Artifact of Fourth Rank - The God-Slaying Dagger!
"Shadow King, Red Supreme God, is dead."
The Heaven Blade Supreme God spoke in a solemn tone.
Zhou Zhan stared at the black dagger of Supreme Divine rank, a smile flickering across his face.
When the Heaven Blade Supreme God had taken down the enemy's strongest force—the Shadow King, Red Supreme God—it meant that the ultimate power of the three top-bloodline factions had been rendered ineffective.
What remained were merely relics—supreme divine artifacts and other hidden strengths.
To Zhou Zhan, these were no longer concerns.
He had never feared counting divine artifacts. Never.
Thus—
this war, victory was merely a matter of time.
"Respected Sir, your majesty is magnificent!"
"Respected Sir, you are truly the first among the Supreme Deities, the master of the Blade Path!"
"Seeing is believing—this young disciple deeply admires your greatness!"
With joy flooding his heart, Zhou Zhan poured out compliments like they were endless, speaking them without restraint to the other.
This was indeed the savior of the Sun's Radiance Nation—what could be more natural than praising him?
As long as danger ever arose, and he could always find such a "brother," Zhou Zhan swore he would remain loyal to him forever.
The Supreme Deity of the Heavenly Blade remained silent, quietly accepting Zhou Zhan's praise. Only when the young man had finished his compliments did the deity finally remove all six of his Supreme Divine Artifacts and offer them to Zhou Zhan.
Zhou Zhan froze.
No way.
These were six Supreme Divine Artifacts—yet the other had only one, a mere second-tier Supreme Divine Artifact. And yet, he was offering them all to Zhou Zhan without hesitation?
No.
This supreme divine artifact has been returned to me—how will I ever invite Brother to come again?
At this thought, Zhou Zhan's expression grew solemn.
"Lord Tian-Blade, you saved our Jiaoyang Divine Nation from fire and flood. Though these six supreme divine artifacts are precious, they can never compare to the debt of life you have bestowed upon us. In my homeland, there is a saying: a drop of water owed must be repaid with a spring's flow. Take these six supreme divine artifacts, then—this shall be my humble offering of gratitude."
Lord Tian-Blade was momentarily stunned.
Though he was a stoic being, that did not mean he lacked discernment.
These were six supreme divine artifacts—each one, when wielded, could send countless divine beings into frenzy. The simultaneous appearance of six such artifacts would ignite a bloody war among the highest divine beings. After all, the power enhancement granted by six supreme divine artifacts to the highest divine beings was utterly terrifying.
A mere third-tier divine being, capable of defeating fourth-tier divine beings without killing them, could, under the influence of these six artifacts, slay a top-tier fourth-tier divine being like dispatching a dog.
This would make the other Supreme Deities instantly exclaim it was absurd.
This Supreme Lord in reserve, having both witnessed and fully understood the immense value of the six Supreme Deity artifacts, still willingly offered all six to himself?
For a moment,
The Heavenly Blade Supreme Deity Automaton even suspected the other was jesting, teasing it.
Yet, upon seeing the earnestness in the other's expression, it knew the words were true.
The other truly wished to bestow these six Supreme Deity artifacts upon itself.
The Heavenly Blade Supreme Deity Automaton remained silent, yet internally sighed in astonishment.
This summoner had indeed shown remarkable generosity.
No wonder he was personally chosen and deeply entrusted by the Supreme Will itself.
Indeed, no other Supreme Lord in reserve could compare.
He had lived through countless ages, and had directly or indirectly encountered the reserve champions of the Supreme Lords.
He could assure himself that, at least in terms of generosity, the three reserve champions of the Supreme Lords would never have been so freely generous as to bestow upon him six Supreme Divine Artifacts.
Not out of unwillingness, but because they simply lacked the power to know—how could they?
The Heavenly Blade Supreme God paused, then sliced open a spatial passage, hurling the six Supreme Divine Artifacts directly into it before sealing the rift once more.
"I will remember what you've given me."
"This one is for you—I don't need it."
The Heavenly Blade Supreme God said.
Then, he tossed the black dagger of the Shadow King, the Crimson Supreme God, to Zhou Zhan.
The black dagger felt cold in his hand, yet surprisingly, it fit perfectly in his grip.
Zhou Zhan stared at this black dagger, and the text prompt appeared swiftly.
[Divine Artifact Name: Dagger of Divine Annihilation]
[Artifact Rank: Four-Rank Supreme Divine Artifact]
[Divine Rule 1 - Power of Divine Annihilation: The Dagger of Divine Annihilation was born from the blood of gods. Every time it slays one Supreme God of the Fourth Rank, it instantly gains one layer of Divine Annihilation Power. Each layer enhances the dagger's power by 10%. Once a hundred layers are accumulated, the dagger will undergo transformation and ascend to become a Saint Artifact of Will. Current number of Supreme Gods of Fourth Rank slain (16/100)]
[Divine Rule 2 - Body of Divine Annihilation: The Dagger of Divine Annihilation is the supreme artifact of the "Instant Death Lord" doctrine, capable of commanding the forces of instant death across all realms. The wielder gains a 20% chance of instant death upon attack, while simultaneously becoming immune to instant death effects from Supreme Gods and all beings below that rank.]
[Divine Rule 3 - Slash of Divine Annihilation: By expending ten layers of Divine Annihilation Power, the wielder unleashes a devastating strike with instant death properties. Upon hitting the enemy, there is a 50% chance that the enemy will die instantly.]
[Divine Rule 4 - Artifact of Divine Annihilation: As the supreme artifact of the "Instant Death Lord" doctrine, the Dagger of Divine Annihilation can be entered into by will, allowing the wielder to perceive and comprehend the profound doctrines and the mysteries of will.]
[Note: Requires will to claim ownership.]
After reading it through, Zhou Zhan inhaled sharply.
"An elite four-rank supreme artifact!"
"And it's even a supreme divine artifact capable of ascending to a first-tier will saint artifact in the future—precisely the kind of offering destined for a divine relic of the highest rank!"
Zhou Zhan stared in shock at the fourth-tier supreme divine artifact in his hands.
The power of "Destroying Gods" was self-evident—its ability to elevate a supreme artifact into a will saint artifact.
The divine and demonic bodies were also formidable!
They granted him a 20% chance of death, while simultaneously rendering him immune to instant-death effects from supreme gods and all beings below that level.
Simply the latter ability alone would allow Zhou Zhou and his own duplicates to carry this fourth-tier supreme artifact every day as a survival necessity.
The third artifact law—"Destroying Gods and Demons with a Single Slash"—was even more absurd.
A single strike carried a 50% chance of life and a 50% chance of death.
Such illogical, irrational mechanics—what could possibly make an opponent afraid?
Yet, the cost of ten layers of "Destroying Gods" made every use of this technique an exceedingly rare and precious opportunity.
Currently, only the Divine Blade of God-Killing with sixteen layers of Divine Power can be used once—performing the Divine Strike to Annihilate Demons.
If Zhou Zhan wished to wield it, he would have to carefully consider whether it was worth it, whether it was truly necessary.
As for the fourth ability, it grants the owner of the Supreme Artifact the chance to comprehend the Law of the Lord of Instant Death (at the level of Supreme God).
Each of the four abilities is of the utmost excellence!
"Have you truly decided to part with this Supreme Artifact?"
Zhou Zhan asked curiously of Tianling, the Supreme God.
"The artifact is excellent," said Tianling, "but it does not align with my path."
"I do not require death upon comprehension. I can still slay my enemies with my blade."
"The Supreme Artifact you have bestowed upon me is already sufficient."
Tianling spoke.
Zhou Zhan blinked his eyes.
This Tianling Supreme God's personality is truly... so distinctive.
But I love it!
Perhaps only such a personality could remain steadfast and dedicated in mastering the principles of the blade, reaching this level today.
