Chapter 237: Another Battle Sage Origin?

This broken sword was very similar to the Thunder Emperor’s Thunder Wood Sword when he found it. Aside from being incredibly sharp, there was nothing else special about it. However, when he placed it next to the Lunar Shadow Saber it generated an intense reaction; they were both attracted to each other.

Xiao Chen wanted to melt it a long time ago. Unfortunately, the Purple Thunder True Fire, which was able to melt the Thunder Wood Sword, was unable to do so to this broken sword.

Fortunately, the Purple Thunder True Fire had reached the next layer. Xiao Chen was prepared to give it another try, to see if there would be any reaction when he tried to melt it again.

Xiao Chen summoned the Purple Thunder True Fire. Then, he walked over to the center of the flame with the broken sword in hand. His Spiritual Sense wrapped around the broken sword as he floated in the center of the flames stably.

“Pu Ci!”

The moment the flames touched the broken sword, it immediately fired a resplendent bolt of electricity, crackling incessantly.

A black smoke wafted out from the surface of the broken sword. The sword’s appearance seemed to have completely changed; all the dust on its surface was removed, and it gave off a glow once again.

“Weng! Weng!” The Lunar Shadow Saber in Xiao Chen’s left hand could not resist trembling. The trembling grew stronger and stronger over time; in the end, Xiao Chen was almost unable to hold on to it.

“Could it be that the broken sword really contains a portion of the Battle Sage Origins?” Xiao Chen said to himself.

The Battle Sage Origin was the strongest offensive Qi. Because it was too strong, it was split into six portions, each one containing a Sub-Divine Weapon.

In the past, the Thunder Emperor spent the latter half of his life searching for the remaining five portions of Battle Sage Origins. In the end, no one knew how many he found and what results he obtained.

Who in the world injured the Thunder Emperor and broke his Thunder Wood Sword, leaving him with no choice but to seal the broken sword in Moonstone for a thousand years?

No one today truly knew the answer to that question. Back then, with the Thunder Wood Sword in his hands, he was peerless under the heavens. At a young age, he had already fought all over the Great Qin Nation; there were none who could measure up to him.

Within the Tianwu Continent, he was considered a peak expert. The number of people who could force him to use his full strength could be counted on one hand. Given so, who could force him to a dead end?

Aside from Ao Jiao, no one knew the answer. However, Ao Jiao avoided answering this question, refusing to let Xiao Chen know. It was clear that she was fearful of the events of a thousand years ago.

Xiao Chen had his own speculations about it. The Thunder Emperor might have found the other five Sub-Divine Weapons containing the Battle Sage Origins.

However, when he wanted to merge them to form a Divine Weapon, someone severely injured him. The five Sub-Divine Weapons separated and dispersed again, and the Thunder Wood Sword broke in half.

Who would fear the soon-to-become-Divine-Weapon Thunder Wood Sword? The answer was clear; it was definitely the owner of one of the Divine Weapons.

Since the day of the Divine Weapons’ creation, only ten Divine Weapons existed. It seemed that even the heavens feared the Divine Weapons.

As long as there was the birth of a new Divine Weapon, there would be the fall of a Divine Weapon. The number of Divine Weapons that could exist could not exceed ten.

The Owner of said Divine Weapon was afraid of his Divine Weapon falling. Hence, he chose to make a preemptive move, relying on the might of the Divine Weapon to completely defeat the Thunder Emperor, Sang Mu.

This speculation was very reasonable, but there was no evidence to support it. Thus, Xiao Chen did not dare be confident of his guesses, whether the events of the past were the same as he speculated.

The temperature of the released Purple Thunder True Fire Origin Flame was multiple times higher than it was before; it reached a horrifying temperature of, at least, five thousand degrees.

Xiao Chen observed very carefully as the broken sword slowly started to melt, turning into a liquid and gradually dripping down.

“Hi Chi!”

The instant the melted liquid dripped down, it floated to the scabbard containing the Lunar Shadow Saber in Xiao Chen’s left hand. It was like it was alive. It headed for the crack at the mouth of the scabbard, trying to enter the scabbard and merge with the Lunar Shadow Saber.

With a ‘pu’ sound, the plain scabbard emitted a horrifying energy, deflecting away the liquid that flew over.

Xiao Chen sent out a strand of his Spiritual Sense and gathered all the molten metal in the air. He frowned tightly; he did not understand the situation. “What is going on?”

When the broken sword melted completely, and all the molten metal gathered together, it was repeatedly wobbling like the jello of Earth; it was extremely strange.

“Hu!”

Suddenly a black figure flew out from the gathered molten metal, heading for Xiao Chen’s face quickly.

Xiao Chen prepared long ago. He instantly used his Spiritual Sense to form a thick wall in front of him; it was impregnable. The figure crashed into the wall and bounced back.

“Ao! Ao!” the figure let out pained cries. Xiao Chen was finally able to see its appearance clearly. He looked exactly like a human; there was no difference at all.

However, it was extremely weak. Its body gave off an evil aura, causing one to feel repulsed.

“So, it is the Weapon Spirit of the Sub-Divine Weapon. Because the broken sword was not cared for properly, it became an evil Vicious Spirit.”

Now that Xiao Chen knew what it was, he did not hesitate. No wonder the scabbard would reject this thing, stopping it from merging with the Lunar Shadow Saber. So, this was the reason.

After a Weapon Spirit turned into a Vicious Spirit, it would lose all its consciousness. It transformed into a monster that only knew how to kill. If it merged into a Spirit Weapon, it would turn the Spirit Weapon into an Evil Weapon, causing harm to the world.
