It must be said that one of the ten ancient Divine Swords, the Zhanlu Sword, is truly challenging to conquer. Ye Tianchen used all his power, yet he was still fooled by it. The most crucial point is that after using the Chaos Qi from the "Holy Heaven Prison," Ye Tianchen broke through the sword’s radiance. At the same time, the Chaos Qi transformed into a ribbon, wrapping around the Zhanlu Sword. Even at this stage, with the Chaos Qi surrounding it like a ribbon, this stubborn Zhanlu Sword still did not give up struggling and resisting, earning Ye Tianchen’s admiration.

The strength of the Zhanlu Sword is undeniable. As an Artifact serving as the Array Eye to suppress the Hidden World, it is certainly no ordinary item. Both Ye Tianchen and the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm, the two experts, failed to conquer the Zhanlu Sword, proving how formidable it is. Of course, Ye Tianchen is also a person of perseverance; he is not one to abandon or give up. Is he any less stubborn than the Zhanlu Sword?

Bang!

A loud impact, the powerful Sword Qi slashed out by the Zhanlu Sword directly clashed against the Chaos Qi. However, its Sword Qi could not stop the Chaos Qi, which is indestructible yet undefeatable. For this reason, it is considered the most powerful origin Qi in the Martial Arts World!

"Fix!"

Ye Tianchen continuously made sealing gestures, urging the Chaos Qi to transform into a ribbon and wrap around the Zhanlu Sword. During this process, the Zhanlu Sword kept struggling and trembling, always trying to shake off the Chaos Qi. Naturally, Ye Tianchen would not give it the chance; with the Chaos Qi already refined, if even the most original Qi of the Martial Arts World could not conquer the Zhanlu Sword, Ye Tianchen truly had no idea what method could.

Splash!

The Chaos Qi, the root of the Martial Arts World’s creation and its origin Qi, is one of the most powerful forces. Although the Zhanlu Sword is mighty, it still cannot withstand the force of the Chaos Qi and was soon surrounded by the ribbon formed from it!

Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged in the sky, coldly watching from not far away. The Chaos Qi formed a circle, enclosing the Zhanlu Sword within it, and no matter how the Zhanlu Sword struggled or desperately slashed out Sword Qi, it could not break through this Chaos Qi. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"You have excellent methods, young friend. This Chaos Qi is indeed very powerful; no wonder even throughout history, Emperors at the Martial Arts Peak sought this kind of origin power!" said the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm as he watched the scene.

"It hasn’t fully succeeded yet; the Zhanlu Sword still doesn’t want to submit and is still struggling!" Ye Tianchen said with a frown.

"This Zhanlu Sword is highly spiritual and stubborn; trying to conquer it will likely be very challenging. It will need more time to refine!" said the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm, furrowing his brows.

"I will make it submit to me, and I will not give up. Even if it requires spending more time, it will be worth it!" Ye Tianchen said with unwavering determination.

Though Ye Tianchen trapped the Zhanlu Sword with Chaos Qi, the Zhanlu Sword continued to struggle, continuously slashing out one Sword Qi after another, refusing to submit to Ye Tianchen’s control. This made Ye Tianchen quite vexed, as his current ability to use the Chaos Qi’s power had reached its limit, and he truly did not know what to do next!

Rumble!

At this moment, Magic Laws were flying chaotically in the heavens and earth of the Hidden World. These laws transformed into strands of Power of thunder and lightning, darting everywhere. No one dared to underestimate these Magic Laws turned thunder power; they were exceptionally formidable. When Ye Tianchen, the man with the back blade, and the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm first arrived here, they almost suffered a devastating loss. It seems these Magic Laws transformed into thunder power are unique to the Hidden World!

"Hmph, this Hidden World is about to shatter. The void is constantly cracking, and the entire range of the Hidden World is here collapsing like a black hole. If we can’t get out before the Hidden World completely disintegrates, everyone will perish inside, and even gods cannot escape!" Roma Vulcan snorted coldly and said harshly.

"So what? You malicious fake old monk, I’m going to kill you!" the man with the back blade shouted fiercely as he slashed out a massive Sword Energy.

"You little ant, you’ve really pestered this old man long enough. Do you truly think I can’t kill you?" Roma Vulcan said, trembling with anger.

"If you can, then go ahead and kill me; anyway, I’m dead set against you and absolutely won’t let you have a chance to fight for the Zhanlu Sword!" The man with the back blade saw through Roma Vulcan’s plot and coldly laughed.

Roma Vulcan was so infuriated by the man with the back blade that he almost spat blood. He never expected the man with the back blade to be so bold and not interested in the emergence of such a powerful ancient Divine Sword like the Zhanlu Sword, but instead to fixate on attacking him relentlessly. Although the man with the back blade’s power is not as strong as Ye Tianchen’s, he can’t be quickly shock-killed in a short time, leaving Roma Vulcan helpless and furious. As long as the man with the back blade kept pestering him, it would be impossible to rush over to seize the Zhanlu Sword. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Tianchen gradually conquered the Zhanlu Sword!

"It’s okay if we don’t obtain the Zhanlu Sword, the most important thing is that this hidden world is about to collapse. If we don’t escape, we’ll face total annihilation. Do you want to die here?" Roma Vulcan coldly asked the burly man with a sword on his back.

"I don’t want to die here, but I also can’t let you, old barker, succeed!" The burly man with a sword on his back shouted and attacked Roma Vulcan.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, I will kill you, ant!" Roma Vulcan was also furious, unleashing the powerful Buddha Light with full force from the gold foil in his hand.

On this side, Ye Tianchen and the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm could also feel that the hidden world was about to completely break apart, with fragmented voids and chaotic Magic Law Thunder Power flying everywhere. Constantly, voids shattered in both the sky and the ground, completely transforming into one black hole after another, with no repair possible; this was a sign of the hidden world about to completely vanish, which made Ye Tianchen and the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm anxious!

Of course, no one wanted to die here, but the Zhanlu Sword had not been subdued. Ye Tianchen had painstakingly pushed the Zhanlu Sword to this point with Chaos Qi—it wasn’t easy. If he abandoned it here, it would really be a wasted effort, and no one would be willing to do so. Ye Tianchen continued to urge the Chaos Qi surrounding the Zhanlu Sword, quickly encircling it with an intention of refining it alive!

"Young friend, time is running out. The hidden world is about to completely collapse. If it doesn’t work, we should leave first. I suppose the Zhanlu Sword wouldn’t want to perish in this world; otherwise, it wouldn’t have appeared. It will definitely escape." The Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm reminded.

"Senior, you go first. Since we’ve come this far, I won’t give up no matter what." Ye Tianchen said seriously.

The Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm glanced at Ye Tianchen and nodded, saying, "In that case, let me lend you a hand!"

"Senior!" Ye Tianchen didn’t expect that at such a moment, the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm could still offer help.

"Young friend, your great wisdom and talent are truly admirable!" The Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm said with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior!" Ye Tianchen said gratefully.

Swish!

The Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm also acted, immediately releasing a strand of Rune Power toward the Zhanlu Sword enveloped by Chaos Qi in the sky. As the Rune Power of the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm reached the sky, Ye Tianchen promptly activated the Chaos Qi, opening a gap for the Rune Power to successfully enter and enshroud the Zhanlu Sword!

Rune Power transformed into a chain, binding the Zhanlu Sword. Immediately, the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm sat cross-legged, quickly muttering incantations and urging a strong Rune Power, seemingly trying to subdue the Zhanlu Sword!

"Senior, your divine skill seems like some kind of subduing sound, yet it’s not a Buddhist Holy Skill!" Ye Tianchen contemplated and then asked.

"Yes, it’s another Martial Arts Divine Skill, effective in subduing treasure!" The Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm nodded.

"Senior, why didn’t you display it earlier?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

"It can’t be displayed unless the Zhanlu Sword is already trapped; I’m helping you subdue it now. I am destined to have no fate with this Zhanlu Sword!" The Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm said seriously.

Ye Tianchen looked at the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm, realizing that this elder had great vision and wisdom, seeing everything clearly. If it were others, not only would they not help you subdue the Zhanlu Sword without fighting to seize it or secretly assassinating you, they would also lend a hand to subdue it. This is something truly impossible to happen, so this Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm has an unusual cultivation realm, especially with such a mental realm worth Ye Tianchen learning from!

"I must obtain this Zhanlu Sword; it is very important to me, and even relates to my future martial arts path!" Ye Tianchen silently vowed in his heart. (To be continued.
