Spirit-swallowing Magma River

Cheng Huang was the Fuxi Cauldron's Artifact Spirit. Its origin was mysterious, and its attainments in formations were extremely high. It should be easy for it to improve the Four Kill Sword Array.

"Three months isn't too long. It's time to enter the fifth level and take a look."

Zhuowen's gaze fell on the staircase at the end of the fourth level. This staircase was the passage to the fifth level.

On the surface of the stairs, rays of multicolored brilliance flickered. A vast aura that seemed capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas came crashing down on Zhuo Wen.

"What a terrifying restriction!"

Zhuowen slowly narrowed his eyes. He could feel the terror of the restriction on the staircase. Just standing in front of the staircase was like facing a terrifying wild beast that was pouncing toward him.

"Let's go in and give it a try!"

With a solemn expression, Zhuowen came in front of the staircase and stepped on it.

Boom!

A thunderous sound came from the surface of the staircase. It also emitted a terrifying and strange cracking sound as if the sky was collapsing.

Zhuowen frowned slightly. Golden veins appeared on the surface of his body. Finally, he stepped heavily on the staircase.

"What a terrifying pressure!"

Zhuowen only felt his blood boil. He was terrified. The restriction on the fifth level was much more terrifying than the restriction on the fourth level.

Without hesitation, Zhuowen used the Laws of Ice and Fire. The two Laws merged with Zhuowen's body, causing the aura of his body to become extremely terrifying. It broke through the crushing pressure on his body in one fell swoop.

As the number of staircases increased, the pressure became more and more terrifying. However, Zhuowen also used the Laws that he had comprehended and merged them into his body.

In addition to the Laws of Ice and Fire, there were also the Laws of Void, Desolation, Death, Karma, and Mosha. There were a total of seven Laws that merged into his body.

At that moment, Zhuowen's Saint Body was filled with the aura and power of the seven Laws. It actually suppressed the terrifying aura and suppression of the restriction in one fell swoop.

Thump! Thump!

The sacred body that bore seven types of laws had reached an unprecedented level of power. Zhuo Wen continued to step forward and reached the top of the stairs in one fell swoop. Zhuo Wen stood at the top of the stairs like a spear.

The pressure on the fifth floor was hundreds of times greater than the pressure on the fourth floor. Zhuowen felt extremely uncomfortable standing on the fifth floor. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on him. It was extremely heavy.

When he reached the fifth floor, Zhuowen had to use the Buddha Demon Eye. Only then was he able to resist the terrifying pressure and move around the fifth floor.

The space on the fifth floor was even smaller, like a square inch of land. The facilities on the fifth floor were much more simple and crude than on the fourth floor.

There were also balls of light floating here, but there were only ten of them. Compared to the hundreds of balls of light on the fourth floor, it was really too little.

"The ten balls of light all contain heaven-defying saint artifacts?" Zhuo Wen asked with astonishment in his eyes.

Having one heaven-defying saint artifact was already very terrifying. Having ten of them was too terrifying.

"Only two of them are heaven-defying saint artifacts, three of them are Empyrean Saint artifacts, and the remaining five should be Yang Sky Saint artifacts," Xiao Hei said in a deep voice.

Zhuowen was startled and immediately nodded. If all ten of them were heaven-defying saint artifacts, it would be too terrifying.

Even if Taoist Master Cang Long was a Supreme Celestial Sage, it wasn't so easy for him to get ten heaven-defying saint artifacts.

When all Empyrean Saint artifacts were forged, their power and aura were the same. However, as the strength of the Empyrean Saint artifacts increased, the power of these Empyrean Saint artifacts would automatically increase.

As for the heaven-defying saint artifacts, they had been used and nurtured by the Saints for thousands of years. Therefore, their power was much more terrifying than ordinary Empyrean Saint artifacts.

The principle of Empyrean Saint artifacts and Yang Sky Saint artifacts was the same as the heaven-defying saint artifacts.

However, for Profound Sages, it was very difficult for them to fully exert the power of a Empyrean Saint artifact. This was especially true for heaven-defying saint artifacts, which were very difficult for Profound Sages to control.

However, Holy Treasures were much better than Empyrean Saint artifacts, and the threshold was also much lower.

Perhaps the power of a heaven-defying saint artifact was much stronger than a Holy Treasure, but the threshold of a heaven-defying saint artifact was too high. In the hands of a Profound Sage, the power of a heaven-defying saint artifact might not even be as good as a Holy Treasure.

This was also why Yang Yi had given Zhuowen a heaven-defying Holy Treasure instead of a heaven-defying saint artifact.

After all, Zhuowen was just a Glimpse Saint. If a heaven-defying saint artifact was given to Zhuowen, the power it could exert would be extremely limited. It was better to give him a Holy Treasure.

Zhuowen paced between the ten light clusters, and his gaze fell on the two light clusters at the front. These two light clusters carried two heaven-defying saint artifacts.

Although for the current him, he couldn't exert too much power from the heaven-defying saint artifacts, once his cultivation reached the Heavenly Sage Realm, he would be able to subdue them and exert their true power.

Of the two heaven-defying saint artifacts, Zhuowen was going to give one to Long Xiaotian and keep the other for himself.

The Holy Might in these two large light clusters was extremely vast. One of the light clusters contained a constantly surging river. If one looked carefully, this river was composed of blazing magma.

As the wave rolled out, magma swept up into the sky, and flames raged across the Nine Worlds. It had the terrifying power to plunge the world into misery and suffering.

"The heaven-defying saint artifact, Spirit Devouring Magma River. This river was taken from the magma in the depths of the earth's core tens of millions of feet deep. Moreover, it was nurtured by an almighty for tens of thousands of years. During the nurturing process, it devoured hundreds of thousands of creatures and was forged into a powerful heaven-defying saint artifact."

Zhuowen stared at the light cluster, and a vast amount of information appeared in his mind. The information introduced the magma river in the light cluster.

The Spirit Devouring Magma River was unusual. The surging magma had the terrifying power to devour and destroy all creatures. Ordinary Heavenly Sages would find it difficult to compete with it.

Moreover, the Spirit Devouring Magma River had both offensive and defensive capabilities. It also had the ability to transform into any weapon and shape at will.

The moment he saw the Spirit Devouring Magma River, Zhuowen's eyes lit up. This heaven-defying saint artifact was to his liking.

"Kid, have you taken a fancy to the Spirit Devouring Magma River?" Xiao Hei chuckled.

"This Spirit Devouring Magma River is indeed good."

Zhuowen chuckled and reached his right hand into the light cluster. The power of the Divine Body burst out and grabbed the river in his hand.

Rumble!

However, the moment Zhuowen grabbed the river, the Spirit Devouring Magma River surged and slapped away Zhuowen's hand. Thud!

Thud! Thud!

Zhuo Wen took a few steps back and looked at his charred palm. His eyes were filled with shock, and he could even feel a heart-wrenching pain.

His Lesser Success Divine Body was tough and powerful. Even a Heavenly Saint Weapon would find it difficult to cause such damage to him.

However, the Spirit Devouring Magma River, which had no owner, could cause such heavy damage to his Divine Body with just a light slap. This made Zhuowen surprised and happy.

"You are just a little brat at the Profound Glimpse Saint Realm. How dare you try to capture me? Are you trying to humiliate me?"

A childish Divine Thought rang in Zhuowen's ears. Then, Zhuowen was surprised to find a lifelike eyeball floating out of the Spirit Devouring Magma River.

The eyeball stared at Zhuowen, and its eyes were full of anger.

"The Spirit Devouring Magma River's Artifact Spirit?"

Staring at the eyeball, Zhuowen was curious. Although he knew that Divine Artifacts all had Artifact Spirits, their Artifact Spirits were limited.

However, the intelligence of an artifact spirit was extremely limited, not to mention the ability to speak human language. This was the first time he had encountered one.

"You have been in this Treasure Repository Palace for 65,555 years, right?

Don't you feel lonely and empty?

Why don't you follow me out and see the scenery outside? "Zhuowen said to the Artifact Spirit as if he was coaxing a child.

"Moreover, I am now the master of the Azure Dragon Palace. If you follow me, maybe when I become a Celestial Sage in the future, I can promote you to a Celestial Saint Weapon. What do you think?" Zhuowen continued to persuade it patiently.

The eyeball revealed a hint of curiosity. At the same time, it revealed a human-like pondering expression.

"It seems that what you said makes sense. However, you are so weak. I don't think you are qualified to be my master."

The Artifact Spirit thought for a moment and still shook its head.

"On the surface, my cultivation is low, but it doesn't mean that my strength is low. If you don't try, how do you know that I am not qualified to be your master?" Zhuowen said with a smile.

The Artifact Spirit revealed a pondering expression again. In the end, it nodded and said, "Alright. If you can withstand three moves from me, then I will follow you. Of course, you are still not qualified to be my master. I will just follow you out to take a look."

Hearing this, the corner of Zhuowen's mouth revealed a brilliant smile. Although the Artifact Spirit's intelligence was high, it was extremely simple. It immediately fell for Zhuowen's trick.

Once the Spirit Devouring Magma River followed Zhuowen, as time passed, Zhuowen's strength would definitely continue to increase. At that time, the Artifact Spirit would have to recognize him as its master even if it didn't want to.

"Then three moves it is. You go first."

Zhuowen was ready and his eyes revealed a dignified expression. After all, the Spirit Devouring Magma River was a heaven-defying Saint Artifact. He didn't dare to underestimate it.

"Then be careful. If I accidentally kill you, don't blame me. This is not my intention. In the past, many Saints wanted to subdue me in front of me. They also had the attitude of trying, but in the end, they were all killed by me in one move," the Artifact Spirit still said innocently.

However, the Artifact Spirit's words made the corner of Zhuowen's mouth twitch. How could this little guy say such cruel words in such a simple tone?

Boom!

As soon as the Artifact Spirit's voice fell, the temperature of the entire fifth floor continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The entire stone room seemed to have melted. The violent magma was like a long river, sweeping the entire stone room and rushing toward Zhuowen. The blazing heat seemed to be able to melt everything in the world.

Zhuowen didn't dare to be negligent. The power of the Divine Body was pushed to the extreme. At the same time, the seven types of Divine Body were integrated into it.
