Chapter 130: The Divine Armament Acknowledges the Owner

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Most disciples who came to Divine Armament Cavern were Indestructible Godfiends.

For instance, a Great Solar Godfiend like Meng Chuan, Xue Feng, and Liu Qiyue—who had attained Greater Mastery in the Realm of Soul—were in the extreme minority! Only a few appeared out of hundreds of disciples. These were the true elite geniuses of Archean Mountain. Every one of them had a limitless future. The ancient divine armaments that had remained in Divine Armament Cavern for years could sense it with their spirituality…

Such genius disciples were extremely rare. There were even fewer people who were compatible with them! For example, Meng Chuan used a saber—a narrow saber. Liu Qiyue used a bow. Xue Feng used a sword.

Upon missing out on such a genius, these weapons might have to wait another century or two before they could meet the next compatible person.

Therefore, divine armaments floated up.

Hum!

Meng Chuan stared at the scene. In the vast mountain belly, a large number of divine armaments flew off the ground. Instantly, over 100 divine armaments began floating.

The divine armaments were also competing. Their world was more direct. Powerful divine armaments blasted out terrifying aura in all directions. The weaker divine armaments couldn’t help but be suppressed. Unable to float, they fell to the ground directly.

Soon, there were only twelve weapons still afloat in the cave.

These twelve? Meng Chuan could sense auras within half a kilometer. He sensed that three of the divine armaments’ auras were the strongest. The other nine auras were much weaker; they could barely remain suspended.

Meng Chuan walked over to take a look.

Three Heaven-level divine armaments and nine Earth-level divine armaments. Meng Chuan nodded slightly. There aren’t any Creation divine armaments.

As the most powerful divine armaments, Creation divine armaments were unlikely to recognize a Great Solar Godfiend as an owner before it began weakening. On the contrary, Regis Godfiends—their weapons being destroyed due to special reasons such as combat—could enter Divine Armament Cavern and have Creation divine armaments recognize them as owners.

It’s very good that I can choose a Heaven-level divine armament. Meng Chuan was quite satisfied. I have to select from the three carefully.

He looked at the three Heaven-level weapons.

Since the Heaven-level divine armaments were floating in the air, they were compatible with Meng Chuan. They all had narrow blades. The heavy or soft sabers did not respond to Meng Chuan’s Saber Soul at all.

The first divine armament was pitch-black. The blade emitted a dark aura that suppressed its surroundings, making it look the most ordinary.

The second saber was a silver-white saber. It emitted a terrifyingly cold aura that filled its surroundings. It sent a biting chill to the bone.

The third saber was completely blood-red in color. It emanated an aura of blood and sin that made one’s heart palpitate. The other divine armaments stayed far away from it, unwilling to approach it.

With a tap of his finger, a wisp of Quintessential Essence flew out and fused with the black saber.

He vaguely saw a blind elder holding the black saber. With a slash in the darkness, the saber beam flashed and killed the enemy.

This saber is good for sneak attacks. It can affect the void, speeding up a saber attack. It’s also extremely sharp. Meng Chuan was slightly enlightened. It suits me quite well.

The faster he could draw his saber, and the sharper the saber was, implied the saber was a good fit for him.

The second divine armament. Meng Chuan sent a wisp of Quintessential Essence into the silver-white saber. He immediately sensed the cold aura contained within the silver saber. As long as he activated his Quintessential Essence, the cold aura would be even stronger. Once the saber is used, it can freeze the surroundings. When I fight with an enemy, I can freeze the opponent before killing them. This can be considered useful. However, my Godfiend body isn’t skilled with ice and freezing. I’m only using the divine armament’s power itself. In the future, I’ll only weaken its freezing ability as I nurture it.

He could also “see” the incomplete memories contained within the divine armaments.

It was a scene of a silver-haired man using the silver saber. When the saber was unleashed, it froze the surroundings.

It’s a good saber, but it doesn’t suit me.

Meng Chuan looked at the third saber. The blood-colored saber that emitted a bloody, sinful aura made it appear evil.

He sent a wisp of Quintessential Essence into it.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Meng Chuan saw mountains of corpses. Many people had died under this saber! Many Godfiends were killed by the saber!

This saber could suck blood and flesh, causing it to become more and more powerful! It was extremely sharp! It could even absorb baneful auras that contained hatred and grievances.

When the saber struck out, a baneful aura blasted out in all directions. The enemy’s consciousness would be stunned by the impact, allowing them to be killed without any resistance! Those powerful enemies were split into two with a single slash! Their flesh and blood were all sucked by the saber, becoming its food. Even the indignation and hatred its opponents had when they died would be absorbed.

It’s really an evil saber. Very evil. Meng Chuan stared at the blood-colored saber. However, it’s the strongest, and it grows very quickly. However, this saber… will turn against its owner!

In the blood-colored saber’s remnant memories, Meng Chuan discovered that some Godfiends who held the saber remained conscious while others were controlled by the saber completely! They became slaves to the saber and only knew how to kill.

Which one should I choose? Meng Chuan looked at the blood-colored saber and then at the black saber.

As for the silver saber, he had given it up.

One is rather unsophisticated, but it suits me. The other is more evil, but it’s more powerful. Meng Chuan hesitated for a moment before he made up his mind and reached out to grab the blood-colored saber.

The moment he held it, the blood-colored saber immediately produced a hum that resounded throughout the cave.

The other eleven floating divine armaments fell to the ground, becoming silent once again. These divine armaments were well aware that this Archean Mountain disciple had chosen the evil saber.

Hum. The blood-colored saber’ thick, sinful baneful aura surged towards Meng Chuan’s consciousness, wanting to affect him.

Humph.

His Saber Soul completely suppressed the baneful aura, even without using the Power of Essence Soul to aid him.

After eleven years on the mountain, Meng Chuan had never given up on tempering his will. His will was not something the evil saber—that had been weakened for ages—could control.

“Lord Meng Chuan.” The white-haired old woman outside Divine Armament Cavern smiled when she saw him walk out. However, when she saw the blood-colored saber in Meng Chuan’s hand, her expression changed. “Lord Meng Chuan, why did you choose this evil saber? It’s too evil! Archean Mountain allows disciples to make another choice after giving up the evil armaments in the cavern.”

“Is it very evil?” Meng Chuan looked at the blood-colored saber in his hand. “Since it’s placed in Divine Armament Cavern, it’s meant for us to choose, right?”

“It has already been in Divine Armament Cavern for over 2600 years. It has been unable to devour baneful aura, flesh, and blood for a long period of time. It has already weakened greatly,” said the old woman. “Its former owners believed that they could control it, but later, the saber turned against them and controlled them. Lord Meng Chuan, wait here. I’ll show you the dossier.”

“Alright.” Meng Chuan waited.

After every disciple chose the divine armament, Archean Mountain would show the corresponding dossier to the disciple.

After a while, the old woman came over with a dossier and respectfully handed it to Meng Chuan. “Lord Meng Chuan, please take a look. After you finish reading the dossier, you can decide whether you want to continue using it.”

Chi. Meng Chuan stabbed the blood-colored saber into the ground and picked up the dossier.

This blood-colored saber had many names in history—Mental Demon Saber, Killing Calamity, No Absolutes…

It had caused many disasters.

Back when the demons hadn’t invaded their world—when humans engaged in internal strife—this saber had experienced major massacres in several dynasties! In the battles between sects, many mortal and Godfiend lives were lost to it. Archean Mountain didn’t like the saber, but it still believed that the saber was ultimately a weapon! How it was used to kill was determined by the owner of the saber, so they kept the evil saber.

The more this saber devoured, the stronger it would become. This also increased the requirements on one’s willpower and Essence Soul.

When the saber reached its peak, it needed a third-stage Essence Soul to withstand its impact.

It’s very weak now. A first-stage Essence Soul can easily suppress it. After reading the dossier, Meng Chuan felt confident in controlling it. If he were close to his limits, he would rather change his saber than let it continue growing! He would only use it when his Essence Soul could suppress it.

“I’ll take it.” Meng Chuan looked at the saber. “In history, it has absorbed a lot of human blood. From now on, I will use it to slay demons! I will let it drink demon blood, eat demon flesh, and kill all demons. Its name will be… Demon Slayer!”

1The white-haired old woman could sense the intense killing intent in Lord Meng Chuan’s calm voice. “Yes,” she said respectfully. “Lord Meng, please wait. The scabbard will be prepared for you in a while.”

“Alright.” Meng Chuan picked up the saber and carefully observed it. In the future, this saber would accompany him as he killed his enemies.
