Chapter 6: Divine King Weapons Abound in the Sky
Kill, kill!
After arriving at Genzhuang City, Qiu Guanyi killed the city lord Zhang Wuji with a single sword. Still unsatisfied in venting his resentment, he went on to other cities in the Shanggen Divine Realm.
Qiu Guanyi intended to kill every city lord of Tianfeng Camp.
On the Void Battle Field, Qiu Guanyi was defeated by Qu Yi. To survive, he had no choice but to admit defeat, which led to the emergence of a mental demon. His hopes of reaching the level of Divine King were now gone.
Thus, after receiving the divine command, Qiu Guanyi didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately set out to various cities in the Shanggen Divine Realm, determined to kill all the city lords of Tianfeng Camp.
In the Eight Realms of the Divine World, the positions of city lords had always been occupied by the eight great royal families. As a result, once one became a city lord, they could generally live in safety.
Now, most of the city lord positions in the Eight Realms were taken over by Tianfeng Camp. The eight great royal families no longer needed to worry; they only had to send their most outstanding disciples to kill each city lord and then seize their territories.
Of course, the death of Zhang Wuji, the city lord of Genzhuang City, immediately alerted all the cultivators of Tianfeng Camp. They realized it was impossible for them to confront Qiu Guanyi with their current strength, especially since Qiu Guanyi also possessed the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Invisible Sword.
Messages were quickly sent out and reached the ten leaders of Tianfeng Camp. Naturally, these ten leaders immediately contacted the three Divine Kings of Nanyin Island.
Zong Jing spoke up right away: “On the Void Battle Field, all city lords were appointed by me personally. If anyone kills any of them arbitrarily, I, Zong Jing, will surely punish them.”
Zong Jing personally sent this message to the Divine Kings of the eight great divine realms.
As a result, Qiu Guanyi, Tian Chaoyi, Bai Feiyi, Jin Ziyi, Gongye Qing, and the other top ten figures from the previous rankings dared not actually kill anyone. They could only keep going to the various city lords’ residences, challenging them and forcing them to admit defeat through sheer strength.
Once they admitted defeat, a mental demon would arise in their hearts. Naturally, these city lords of Tianfeng Camp no longer had any hope of reaching the level of Divine King.
The disciples of the eight great royal families, who were at the Divine General stage, found this method of challenge even more pleasing to them. Since they couldn’t reach the level of Divine King, they would remain stuck at that stage for the rest of their lives—a pain beyond description. Now, these disciples realized that by defeating the disciples of Tianfeng Camp, they could also keep them stuck at the Divine General stage forever. That was the best form of revenge.
Suffering together, indeed.
The cultivators of Tianfeng Fort were all in dire straits. Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui were all absent, and no one could withstand the attacks of Qiu Guan Yi, Tian Chao Yi, Bai Fei Yi, Jin Zi Yi, and Gongye Qing. Thus, they had no choice but to flee.
Even under such circumstances, Qu Yi did not appear.
In the Cunjie Ball Universe, Qu Yi was also aware of everything in the Divine Realm, but he had no intention of coming out.
“Reaching the level of a Divine King isn’t just about refining the Soul Sphere and understanding the Five Elements laws; one must also cultivate a Divine King’s will within. Such a will can only be forged through self-practice. Right now, under the pressure of Qiu Guan Yi and the others, if the cultivators of Tianfeng Fort can refine their inner will, they will be able to reach the level of Divine Kings. If they can’t, what’s the point of me intervening?” Qu Yi said indifferently while in the Star Realm, then closed his eyes to continue understanding the laws of space.
Year after year passed.
Inside the Cunjie Ball, Qu Yi and the Artifact God sat side by side, constantly comprehending the laws of space.
One million years later…
“It’s complete! Finally complete! I’ve finally mastered all the laws of space!” The Artifact God suddenly soared into the air, shouting in extreme excitement, causing a violent storm to sweep through the surrounding space.
The Artifact God had also understood the last three laws.
Having reached the peak of the Divine King realm, the Artifact God had finally achieved this level of cultivation.
Qu Yi smiled as he opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at the Artifact God, saying with a smile, “Congratulations, Artifact God.”
The Artifact God punched twice, causing the space ahead to freeze and then shatter into countless fragments that rained down across the entire Star Realm.
“Qu Yi, all of this is because of you. I owe you an apology. Now, I can leave the Cunjie Ball Universe. I’m going to the Divine Realm to seek revenge,” the Artifact God said calmly.
Without the evolution process of the Cunjie Ball Universe, it would be unknown how long it would take for the Artifact God to master all the laws of space. After all, during the evolution of the Cunjie Ball Universe, all the laws of space were presented almost completely, allowing the Artifact God to comprehend them quickly.
As for understanding the laws of time, the Artifact God knew he needed an opportunity—something that couldn’t be achieved just by staying in the Cunjie Ball Universe. Therefore, now that it had reached the peak of the Divine King realm, the Artifact God only wanted to seek revenge.
“Revenge? Of course we must take revenge. But, Artifact God, you can wait a bit longer. Choose the right moment to appear in the Divine Realm and give the Eight Realms’ Divine Kings a special gift—it will be even more interesting,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
The Artifact God was stunned, unsure of Qu Yi’s thoughts. He pressed his lips together, stopped asking further questions, and immediately nodded in agreement.
“Qu Yi, how many spatial rules have you comprehended in these one million years?” The Artifact God suddenly asked, his face filled with curiosity to hear the answer.
The Artifact God knew that if he wanted to take revenge, he still needed to rely on Qu Yi’s strength. Among the eight divine kings of the Divine Realm’s royal families, there were eight Origin Beads in their possession—treasures he couldn’t match. If Qu Yi could also comprehend all spatial rules, the two of them together might be able to defeat those divine kings who held the Origin Beads.
“I’ve already comprehended all spatial rules,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
The Artifact God froze, too surprised to speak.
“You’re not lying to me?” He asked again, unable to believe it.
“Why would I lie to you?” Qu Yi replied with a smile.
The Artifact God shook his head sharply, trying to calm himself down. Then he stared at Qu Yi again with a gaze as if looking at a monster, unsure what to say for a long time.
In the Divine Realm, it was extremely difficult for even one divine king to comprehend a single spatial rule in a hundred billion years. After all, it was too hard for them to sort through and understand a spatial rule amidst the chaotic laws of the universe.
Yet Qu Yi had comprehended all spatial rules in less than one million years—this was truly disheartening. Those divine kings in the Divine Realm were far inferior to him, like trash compared to him.
In fact, to avoid overwhelming the Artifact God too much, Qu Yi had exaggerated. He had actually comprehended all the spatial rules he had inherited in just one hundred thousand years.
Through the inheritance of spatial rules obtained on the Path to the Azure Sky, and by observing the evolution of the Tiny Realm Ball Universe, he could deeply understand spatial rules just by scanning his memories. It wouldn’t take him long at all to comprehend one.
“Qu Yi, you’re truly extraordinary,” the Artifact God admitted, his eyes filled with envy and admiration.
Qu Yi had heard such words countless times and simply ignored them. At this moment, looking at the Starry Realm, which was nearing stability, his eyes brimmed with joy.
“Artifact God, you never expected this, right? That the Tiny Realm Ball could evolve into a universe—it’s truly astonishing,” Qu Yi said calmly.
It was originally just a low-grade innate spiritual treasure used for storing items in space. Yet it gradually evolved into a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, and after obtaining the Star Creation Stone, it began to evolve into a universe right away. Such a transformation was surely beyond the Artifact God’s expectations.
The Artifact God nodded and sighed, “Back then, I also obtained this Tiny Realm Ball by chance. I never imagined it had such miraculous properties. It not only preserved my soul but also, in the process of giving birth to a universe, helped me elevate my strength to the peak of a Divine King. Perhaps this is my fate.”
Qu Yi smiled faintly and suddenly said, “Artifact God, I have a feeling now that I don’t need you to teach me the ‘Five Elements Dao’ formation. I can already quickly create Divine King-level artifacts.”
Divine King artifacts contain the laws of the five elements, but their true power lies in incorporating spatial rules. As a result, their attacks unleash spatial forces, exerting certain effects on the surrounding space.
The Artifact God was somewhat astonished and then asked, “Qu Yi, have you discovered a new formation system?”
Qu Yi shook his head.
“Artifact God, whether it’s the Five Elements universe or the Tiny Realm Ball universe, the energy from which they originate is chaotic energy. Naturally, I can use chaotic energy to transform any kind of artifact material. During the process of creating a Divine King artifact, I can use chaotic energy to directly evolve its components while also embedding spatial rules within them. In this way, the artifact created will be a true Divine King artifact,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
After hearing Qu Yi’s words, the Artifact God thought for a moment before looking at him with envy.
“As expected, just as I guessed in the cultivation world, there exists a higher-level energy—chaotic energy—above the original energy of the five elements. Your ability to use chaotic energy is an innate advantage in artifact creation that others cannot imitate. It seems that in the future, Divine King artifacts won’t be that rare in the divine realm either,” the Artifact God sighed, feeling both excited.
Qu Yi smiled faintly, his eyes fixed ahead.
Suddenly, clusters of invisible chaotic energy gathered in the air. Qu Yi’s consciousness took control of every thread of chaotic energy, and he immediately began crafting a Divine King-level artifact in midair.
Without the burning of the Void Flame or the use of any artifact materials, chaotic energy in the air transformed into various materials, which quickly condensed into artifact cores. By the time these cores took shape, they already contained the laws of the five elements, and the resulting artifacts emitted various spatial forces.
This was Qu Yi’s advantage as the master of the Tiny Realm Ball—he could control everything inside with his consciousness, allowing him to create artifacts at will.
In the divine realm, however, Qu Yi would still need to use the Star Luo Cauldron for artifact creation.
The Artifact God was completely stunned.
One, two… countless artifacts.
The Divine King’s weapons are like flocks of birds in the sky, flying everywhere.
