372: Chapter 363 The Sixth Incarnation: Heavenly Venerable (Fifty-One)

Eight dao treasures hovered in the air, each emitting a distinct yet terrifying pressure and Dao Rhyme that reached the level of "Dao," twisting and suppressing the Void Realm above the Soldier Tomb until it creaked!

Such a sight, let alone Wei An, even those Ancient Venerables who were fighting a bloody battle against the "heaven refining cauldron" outside would likely be shocked and alarmed!

"This is..."

Wei An's pupils suddenly constricted, and a monstrous wave rose in his heart!

Eight dao treasures!

And eight dao treasures with such complete attributes, seemingly corresponding to some kind of Great Dao cycle!

This Hundred Weapons Dao Lord has hidden himself so deeply!

His foundation and ambition far exceed anyone's imagination!

"Surprised, aren't you?"

The voice of the Hundred Weapons Dao Lord, carrying a composure that controlled everything, slowly rang out.

"The world knows me as the 'Number One Artifact Refiner under Heaven,' but they only know that I can refine dao treasures, yet they do not know..." His gaze swept across the eight dao treasures floating around him, his eyes showing fanaticism and pride, "My ambition has never been just a mere one or two ordinary dao treasures!"

"I entered the Dao through 'weapons' and wield the authority of 'Refining.' Over endless ages, I have used the Hundred Weapons Dao Realm as a 'furnace,' and the endless divine materials, fragments of the Great Dao, and even... certain special 'Dao Fruits' collected from the myriad worlds as 'ingredients.' With painstaking effort, I finally refined these eight 'cornerstones' of different attributes, all of which have reached the level of 'dao treasure'!"

"And my ultimate goal," the voice of the Hundred Weapons Dao Lord suddenly rose, carrying an ambition like the creation of heaven and earth, "is to use these eight dao treasures as the 'base,' use the Origin and Battle Intent of 'weapons' gathered from endless divine weapons and Magic Treasures since ancient times in this Soldier Tomb as the 'array,' and then use a sufficiently special 'core dao treasure' as the 'guide' and 'Soul'—"

His gaze suddenly turned toward the depths of the Soldier Tomb below, toward the karma blade and Blade Absolute Edge, which were frantically devouring the essence of "weapons" and were about to complete their final transformation!

The fanaticism in his eyes reached its peak!

"—To refine an unprecedented, weapon-commanding, all-encompassing supreme Heaven-Reaching Dao Treasure whose power is sufficient to exceed that of ordinary dao treasures—"

"—The myriad treasures river!"

"myriad treasures river."

As soon as those three words were spoken, it was as if they triggered some kind of Great Dao resonance in the unseen!

The eight floating dao treasures simultaneously let out an earth-shaking hum, their Dao Rhyme beginning to interweave and resonate, faintly outlining a "long river" phantom composed of endless Magic Treasure shadows, flowing with a Chaos color and emitting a terrifying aura of commanding all weapons and refining the heavens!

And in the Soldier Tomb below, those countless remains of divine weapons and fragments of Magic Treasures also seemed to receive a summons, beginning to vibrate violently and emitting a weak but same-source Dao Rhyme of "weapons," gathering toward that "long river" phantom like trickling streams!

"Now, the 'core' is about to be formed, the 'base' is prepared, and the 'array' is complete!"

The Hundred Weapons Dao Lord's gaze returned to Wei An, whose face was solemn to the extreme, his voice cold and cruel: "Lord of the Human Dao, your arrival is just right! Use the Dao Fruit and Luck of you, a newly ascended 'Humanity' Dao Lord, as a 'sacrifice' to help my 'myriad treasures river' complete its final 'sharpening' and 'master-recognition'!"

"And 'Blade Absolute Edge' and 'Karma' will become the 'river spirit' and 'hub' of the 'myriad treasures river,' following me to compete with those Ancient Venerables and that 'heaven refining cauldron' until—" His gaze seemed to pierce through the Dao Realm, looking toward the world-ending battlefield outside, "we reach the peak of this Great Golden Age!"

The cards are on the table!

The true ambition and trump card of the Hundred Weapons Dao Lord were finally fully revealed!

His goal was never simply to refine one or two dao treasures, but to use the entire Hundred Weapons Dao Realm as a foundation to refine a Heaven-Reaching Dao Treasure capable of contending with or even surpassing the "heaven refining cauldron"—the myriad treasures river!

And Blade Absolute Edge and the karma blade were precisely the most crucial "core" and "Soul" in his plan!

"Now,"

The Hundred Weapons Dao Lord slowly raised his hand and pointed at Wei An. The eight dao treasures around him shone brilliantly, and the endless Origin of "weapons" in the Soldier Tomb below surged frantically, its connection with the "myriad treasures river" phantom growing tighter, emitting a pressure that made the entire Hundred Weapons Dao Realm wail and tremble!

"Then let me, with the power of this Heaven-Reaching Dao Treasure, send you, the new Sovereign of 'Humanity,' on your way!"

Along with his words, the light of the eight dao treasures around him suddenly became intense to the extreme!

Eight distinct yet Dao-level terrifying Dao Rhymes, like eight roaring Dragons, were frantically poured into the "myriad treasures river" phantom outlined by endless Magic Treasure shadows!

"Rumble—!!!"

The "myriad treasures river" phantom, as if injected with life, suddenly expanded and solidified violently!

The Chaos color flowing within it began to evolve into the brilliance of Magic Treasures with various attributes such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness; the pressure it emitted climbed frantically at a geometric rate, as if a true, terrifying river of Dao principles capable of swallowing the heavens and refining the myriad Daos was stepping from nothingness into reality!

Under this pressure, the entire Hundred Weapons Dao Realm let out an overburdened wail, space began to collapse on a large scale, and the Laws became chaotic to the extreme!

And deep within the Soldier Tomb below, the core altar carrying Blade Absolute Edge and the karma blade also underwent a startling upheaval!

"Pfft—!"

Blade Absolute Edge suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence blood. This essence blood was not spat out due to injury, but was instead forcibly "drawn" out of his body by an irresistible summoning force in the unseen!

The essence blood left his body and instantly turned into a blood-red light with dark gold dao patterns, as if it were alive, flying straight toward the karma blade floating before him, which had already completely promoted to a top-grade Magic Treasure and even began to emit a trace of "Dao" aura!

" Buzz——!!"

The karma blade let out a hum of excitement and trembling. On the blade's body, the dark gold and gray-white interwoven Chaos dao patterns, like hungry Vicious Beasts, frantically devoured and absorbed this mouthful of essence blood containing Blade Absolute Edge's life essence!

The luster of the blade suddenly surged again, and a deeper, more profound, and terrifying Dao Rhyme that faintly touched the Origin of "Karma" and "Order" erupted from the blade!

At the same time, Blade Absolute Edge felt that the connection between himself and the karma blade had reached an unprecedented level of closeness after this mouthful of essence blood was devoured!

It was as if his consciousness, his Divine Soul, and his Dao Fruit were all to be completely "pulled" into the blade!

A strange sense of "Fusion" swept through his entire body like a tide—it wasn't a simple unity of man and weapon, but a deeper, terrifying process as if his very existence was to be refined into a part of the karma blade!

"So that's it... This is the hidden hand that old thief Hundred Weapons left in my body with the help of the 'Ten Thousand Weapons Spirit Sacrifice Art'..."

Blade Absolute Edge's heart turned cold as he instantly understood.

"Using my essence blood as a guide to completely activate the karma blade's dao treasure transformation, and at the peak of this transformation, using everything of mine as 'fuel' and 'binder' to perfectly melt me into the karma blade, making it the most perfect 'core' and 'river spirit' carrier for the 'myriad treasures river'!"

Blade Absolute Edge gritted his teeth, resisting the increasingly strong "Fusion" suction and the intense pain in the depths of his Soul caused by the forced change of his existence's essence.

"Now that the formation of the 'myriad treasures river' is unstoppable... my power simply cannot mount an effective resistance before this great trend..."

But he, Blade Absolute Edge, was never one to sit and wait for death!
