Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 953 Artifact
Just as everyone was captivated by the Earth Emperor Sword and the Northern Emperor Blade, their eyes filled with greed, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Haoran laughed loudly, "As expected of the daughter of the Northern Emperor! Truly magnanimous!"

Don't worry, Fairy Moon Spirit!

After this victory, these two divine artifacts will surely be returned to their rightful owner!

He thought of the pile of broken artifacts that Cang Mao had, and added, "If there is any damage, I will ask the senior God-Forging Envoy to help repair it."

Yue Ling nodded happily. She had impulsively taken out two divine artifacts, and regretted it after seeing the greedy looks in everyone's eyes.

Now that Zhang Haoran has given his guarantee, there's no need to worry about not getting the artifact back.

Previously, in the fake Heavenly Tomb, Hongkun also wielded a divine weapon, the even more powerful World-Destroying Sword, yet he was still brutally defeated by her. No other powerful figure would dare to covet her divine weapon.
Logically speaking, since they dare to challenge even emperors, they shouldn't be afraid of Zhang Haoran.

That's not actually the case; emperors cannot descend to the mortal realm at will.

Even if they were to descend, they would become enemies of the Three Realms and be attacked by all the powerful beings.

Zhang Haoran is not only powerful himself, but also has a large group of helpers. In this Three Realms, there is really no one he cannot deal with.

Zhang Haoran stared at the Earth Emperor Sword and the Northern Emperor Blade in front of him, not in a hurry to distribute them.

He was thinking that if Yue Ling, a woman, was so generous as to lend him two life-saving artifacts, he couldn't be stingy either.

Responsibility is like a shackle, making even the most dashing swordsman vain, always thinking about not being outdone by others.

With a flick of his wrist, an ancient bronze cauldron the size of a palm appeared in his hand, spinning rapidly and creating hazy halos around it.

Everyone could feel intense spatial fluctuations and a powerful suppressive force.

It was none other than the Myriad Realms Cauldron!

Zhang Haoran is a swordsman, and the Blood Shadow Sword is enough for him. He can't be distracted by using the Myriad Realms Cauldron during battle, so he might as well use it to enhance his own strength.

Most importantly, Yue Ling, a woman, was willing to contribute a divine artifact to increase their chances of winning. He had obtained the Myriad Realms Cauldron in front of everyone, so it would seem stingy not to take it out.

If Zhang Haoran wants to lead this battle, he needs to win everyone's respect.

The appearance of the Myriad Realms Cauldron excited everyone even more, unlike offensive and killing artifacts such as the Earth Emperor Sword and the Northern Emperor Blade.

The Myriad Realms Cauldron has always been a legend, and very few people have actually seen it.

Zhang Haoran just used the Myriad Realms Cauldron to transfer the Inspector Continent away, and everyone wants to see what other functions this divine artifact has.

Previously, those were other people's secrets and it was not appropriate to inquire about them casually. If one could personally take control of the Myriad Realms Cauldron, then one would naturally be able to know all the secrets.

Everyone stared intently at Zhang Haoran, eager to see who he would hand over the Myriad Realms Cauldron to.

Some people thought maliciously, "Could it be that it's being handed over to the Heavenly King? That way, even if there are any secrets, outsiders won't know."

While this approach still involved using a powerful tool, it seemed rather stingy.

Zhang Haoran smiled, his gaze sweeping over everyone before settling on Emperor Fengtian. He casually tossed the Myriad Realms Cauldron, which landed in front of the emperor with a hazy glow, and said calmly, "The Myriad Realms Cauldron can open spatial passages and also has a good suppressive effect."

It contains a complete spatial law, making it a top-tier artifact.

"You are an expert in sealing techniques, and you must also have some knowledge of suppression. Entrusting this divine artifact to you should allow it to reach its full potential."

Wow! He actually handed over such a top-tier divine artifact to Emperor Fengtian!
Even if it's to establish authority in front of everyone, there's no need to go this far!

Now everyone was truly impressed.

It's important to understand that although Yue Ling lent out the Earth Emperor Sword and the Northern Emperor Blade, she is still the owner of these two divine artifacts—a fact universally acknowledged.

Yue Ling is a descendant of emperors. As long as the Earth Emperor and the Northern Emperor are alive, no one will dare to take her things.

Doing that would not only sound bad if word got out, but would also invite the emperor's retaliation.

It's not worth taking such a big risk for a magical artifact.

However, the Myriad Realms Cauldron that Zhang Haoran lent out was different. This divine artifact was originally stolen by him, or more precisely, he exchanged it for the World-Destroying Sword that he had stolen, but it was almost the same as stealing it.

It is not generally accepted that it belongs to him.

There are no powerful backers in the mortal realm, so the Heavenly Emperor has no reason to be afraid. As long as he is strong enough, he can take this divine artifact for himself.

As for retaliation, there's no need to worry at all. A peak level eight cultivator, combined with a top-tier artifact, can even put a level nine cultivator to the test.

Besides, the Myriad Realms Cauldron is a spatial artifact, which is extremely convenient for escaping. Even if you can't win a fight, you can still run away. Emperor Fengtian is not Li Zhu, so he can definitely unleash the power of the artifact.

In this situation, Zhang Haoran's willingness to lend out the divine artifact demonstrates his determination to defeat the Human Emperor.

Since the artifact will be taken away by the Human Emperor after the defeat anyway, it's better to use it now.

This impressed everyone greatly!

In reality, Zhang Haoran was just putting on a show for everyone.

Let alone lending out the Myriad Realms Cauldron, it wouldn't matter if I lent the Blood Shadow Sword to Emperor Fengtian.

With the contract of the Myriad Realms Tower in place, he already has Emperor Fengtian completely under his control. He only needs to have a thought, and the other party will be reduced to ashes. So there is no need to worry at all.

Now, apart from the strongest people in the human world, Emperor Fengtian is the person he trusts the most.

Now that the Myriad Realms Cauldron is in hand, Emperor Fengtian's strength will surely increase greatly, allowing him to inflict even greater damage on emperors. He can also save his life at critical moments and make everyone look at him with new respect. Why not do something that kills three birds with one stone?

Emperor Fengtian accepted the Myriad Realms Cauldron with a complicated expression. He closed his eyes and sensed it for a while, then shook his head and sighed, "The suppressive power within the Myriad Realms Cauldron is achieved through the laws of space. Only those who are proficient in the laws of space can unleash its full power, which is incompatible with my attributes."

Besides, my Heaven-Sealing Technique is no less powerful than the Myriad Realms Cauldron; let someone else use it!

After saying that, he tossed the Myriad Realms Peak to Zhang Tao and said indifferently, "You cultivate the Dao of Returning to the Dao, which has the most laws and characteristics. You must have a certain spatial authority. It is most appropriate to give this artifact to you."

Zhang Tao accepted the Myriad Realms Cauldron with a look of surprise. He never expected that after going around in circles, this divine artifact would actually fall into his hands.

However, this is different from simply handing the artifact over to Zhang Tao.

After all, Emperor Fengtian himself couldn't use it, so he gave it to Zhang Tao. This didn't damage Zhang Haoran's image at all, and no one could say anything about it.

Moreover, what Emperor Fengtian said was very pertinent, as it was from the perspective of the overall situation.

Some more cunning people suspect that Emperor Fengtian handed over the Myriad Realms Cauldron to Zhang Tao because he didn't want to have a conflict with Zhang Haoran.

Some people, however, felt that he was considering the bigger picture.

Indeed, among everyone present, only Zhang Haoran and Zhang Tao had comprehended the laws of space.

Since Zhang Haoran is the main force against the Human Emperor and doesn't have time to use the Myriad Realms Cauldron, only Zhang Tao can unleash the full power of the artifact.

Fang Ping sent a message with admiration: "Senior Brother Zhang, you played that skillfully!"

"By using the Heavenly Emperor to give the Myriad Realms Cauldron to Old Zhang, you can demonstrate your selflessness and prevent the divine artifact from falling into the wrong hands. You're already a competent little silver coin." Zhang Haoran rolled his eyes in exasperation. "This wasn't my arrangement at all!"

However, he was too lazy to explain to Fang Ping, knowing that the other party wouldn't believe him anyway, so he figured he might as well do whatever he wanted!
These old foxes always think of conspiracies when something happens.

He was also puzzled as to why the Heavenly Emperor would do such a thing.
In fact, Emperor Fengtian was acting out of public interest. Since he knew he couldn't keep the items anyway, he figured he might as well do a favor. Defeating the treacherous emperor was the most important thing at the moment.

At this moment, someone turned their gaze to Zhang Tao, who shrugged and said, "Don't bother looking, this is a support-type artifact, you wouldn't be able to use it even if we gave it to you."

Just like Li Zhu, who wields a top-tier divine artifact but can't even defeat me, a newly promoted Seventh Heavenly King.

Although everyone is now on the same side, the hatred has not disappeared, and Zhang Tao tries to make sarcastic remarks about Li Zhu whenever he gets the chance.

Li Zhu retorted, not to be outdone, "Now that you have the Myriad Realms Cauldron, can you contribute the divine artifacts you used before?"

Zhang Tao said nonchalantly, "The Heaven-Shaking Staff is a broken divine artifact. Even with my current strength, I dare not use it at full power, as I simply cannot withstand the blood and qi of a supreme expert."

If you want to use it, I can lend it to you.

However, I must make it clear beforehand that this is a loan to you. If you break it, you'll have to compensate me with a complete artifact.

As he spoke, Zhang Tao took out the Heaven-Shaking Cudgel, which quickly shrank in his hand, turning into a teaching whip. Coupled with his long robe and refined demeanor, he really looked like a schoolteacher.

Zhang Tao understood that using this broken artifact to launch a ranged attack was fine as long as he was careful, but once it clashed with the blood and energy of an emperor, it would definitely be instantly destroyed.

He brandished the pointer in his hand a few times, leaving streaks of black in the air, then looked at Li Zhu with a smile and said, "Are you sure you want to borrow this divine artifact?"

His eyes were full of provocation.

Li Zhu dared not respond to this, as Zhang Tao cultivated the Dao of Returning to the Dao, which involved a great deal of unorthodox and unorthodox methods.

Who knows if he left a backdoor inside the Heaven-Shaking Staff, which could explode at a crucial moment.

Then I'll have to pay for a complete artifact.

The only divine weapon they currently possess is the World-Destroying Sword. Could it be that Zhang Tao has also set his sights on it?
Thinking of this, Li Zhu immediately shifted his gaze, ignoring Zhang Tao's provocation.

If Li Zhu could think of this, then the others must also be quite intelligent, and no one dared to touch the Heaven-Shaking Cudgel again.

A damaged divine artifact can't provide much enhancement and can only be used as an ordinary divine weapon. If it gets broken, you'll have to pay for a complete divine artifact instead. This deal doesn't seem worthwhile at all.

Everyone's attention returned to the Earth Emperor Sword and the Northern Emperor Blade. These were complete divine artifacts, capable of providing a 20% attack boost, which would definitely elevate their strength to a new level.

Furthermore, Zhang Haoran promised that even if the equipment was damaged in the battle, he would help repair it, and they wouldn't need to take responsibility.

Who will be given these two magical artifacts?

They must be chosen from among the strongest.

Zhang Haoran saw that the King of Zhen Tian showed a hesitant expression.

I know he's struggling internally; he wants the artifact, but he's too embarrassed to ask.

In fact, the Heavenly King also possesses a divine artifact, a super artifact that even emperors would covet.

It was a planet made entirely from primordial soil.

That is not only a divine artifact, but also a supreme treasure.

That huge lump of primordial soil, if spread on the primordial path, would be enough to create another true path.

Money moves people's hearts!
If the Heavenly King were to bring out that planet, everyone would probably lose interest in attacking the Emperor and would instead try to seize some primordial soil first.

However, without using the divine artifact, he could not unleash his full power.

Most importantly, the top experts all have their own methods, and it would be too embarrassing for him to fight empty-handed.

Zhang Haoran wields the Blood Shadow Sword, Hong Kun wields the World-Destroying Sword, and the God-Forging Envoy is even more so, as he is wielding countless divine artifacts.

The Heavenly Arms are no less powerful than any divine weapon.

The method used to seal heaven and earth is the method of sealing heaven. It is a support role and does not require direct confrontation with the enemy. Whether or not there is a divine artifact is the same.

Among the top-tier powerhouses, those without divine artifacts are only the Heavenly King, the Heavenly Dog, and the Spring Guardian.
He, the mighty King of Zhentian and the guardian deity of the human world, has actually fallen to the same level as these two idiots. This is too tragic.

The top experts mentioned here are those who have broken through two void gates, excluding the Sea Suppressor and the Chaotic Heaven King, among others.

The Heavenly King himself possessed a divine artifact but refused to share it, yet he coveted the divine artifact offered by the Moon Spirit. He truly found it difficult to say such a thing.

Zhang Haoran understood the situation of the Heavenly King and didn't want him to bring up that planet to provoke everyone, because people's hearts are the most difficult thing to test.

So he reached out and gestured, and the Northern Emperor's Blade flew over. No one had any objections to this arrangement.

The Heavenly King is the strongest, so it is only right that he wields the divine weapon.

"Hahaha!"

The Heavenly King smiled and pointed, causing the Northern Emperor's Blade to fly back, while the Earthly Emperor's Sword flew into his hand.

The moment he grasped the Earth Emperor Sword, an astonishing sword aura erupted, and he seemed to transform into a sword reaching to the heavens.

The King of Zhentian quickly withdrew his sword and looked at Zhang Haoran with a mocking expression, saying, "Hehe! Didn't expect that, did you? Actually, my forte is swordsmanship."

"So I'll accept the Earth Emperor Sword; you can find someone else to wield the Northern Emperor Blade!"

Zhang Haoran was somewhat surprised, but he quickly realized that Hades Li Zhen was from the Li family lineage and had even created the Breaking Void Sword Technique. How could Zhen Tianwang, the ancestor of the Li family, not understand swordsmanship? Perhaps this old guy's swordsmanship was even very advanced.

Now he felt a pang of regret. If he had known that the old man also knew swordsmanship, he should have asked him for more advice.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he hasn't grasped the essence of swordsmanship. That's because of the limitations of the laws, and it doesn't mean that the Heavenly King's swordsmanship is weak.

An ancient relic who has cultivated swordsmanship for tens of thousands of years must have many things worth learning from.

After this great battle, we must find a way to extract some valuable items.

I've been extorted by this old guy countless times before, so this time I'm bound to give him something of substance.

Although that's what he thought in his heart, he refused to admit defeat verbally.

Zhang Haoran said calmly, "So what if your swordsmanship is strong?"
Have you grasped the essence of swordsmanship?

Without sword intent, it's all just empty show.

He knew that what he said was somewhat unreasonable, and since he would be learning swordsmanship from this old man in the future, he couldn't go too far.

Then he looked at everyone and said, "No matter how exquisite our battle tactics are, they can't compare to those of an emperor who has cultivated for tens of thousands of years."

Everyone must be careful not to try to outmaneuver the treacherous emperor in terms of tactics. This time, we're outnumbered, so everyone should use lock-on attacks.

"Don't worry about any backlash from your mental energy. If that treacherous emperor dares to unleash his mental energy, I'll show him what it means to sever the heart with swordsmanship."
