Chapter 2058: The Immortal Artifact of the Spirit Treasure Realm

The Immortal Artifact Sect had gone quiet.

No more clamor, no more roars, no more chaotic formations, no more dark and bloody things — every living being had fallen silent, no longer disturbing the Great Sun Sword Child's thoughts.

This was good.

Jiang Ding walked step by step across the land of the Immortal Artifact Sect, through patches of ash.

At last, he arrived before the Reverse Five Elements Zhou Tian Demon Refining Furnace, reached out, grabbed it by the ear-handle, lifted it up, and let his divine sense pour in, scanning it bit by bit.

"You—!"

"Kill me! You damned ant! Damned whelp…"

The Immortal Artifact Supreme Being screamed and cursed wildly.

He clearly wanted to kill himself, but couldn't do it at all. Once this human Supreme Being had arrived, the Immortal Artifact Supreme Being no longer belonged to himself, but to the blue-robed youth before him.

"I hate this!"

"I hate it so!"

"This heaven and earth — unjust!"

The Immortal Artifact Supreme Being's venomous curses earned no response. He roared in unwillingness: "This Sovereign toiled in solitude for hundreds of thousands of years, finally escaping to freedom, on the verge of utterly destroying the human Immortal Sects of this realm — about to succeed!"

"Why did just one human anomaly, one whelp, instantly destroy all the efforts of this Sovereign and this Sovereign's clan?!"

"How much effort did this Sovereign put in?"

"Again and again, how many brushes with death did this Sovereign endure?"

"Unjust!"

"Damn you, Heaven! Unjust!"

The Immortal Artifact Supreme Being's eyes were blood-red, he struggled and roared madly, but it was all meaningless.

The human race that dominated the Boundless Starry Sky was one with extremely high upper and lower limits; the birth of a single peerless human prodigy could change everything, utterly destroying the advantages the alien races had painstakingly built up.

All unwillingness, all venom, was insignificant before the glorious immortal civilization spanning hundreds of millions of years.

The fact that the human race often appeared extremely weak did not mean it truly was weak.

Still, the Immortal Artifact Supreme Being's cursing did have a little use.

"Noisy."

Jiang Ding said flatly.

He casually sealed this Supreme Being's divine soul and continued carefully studying this Reverse Five Elements Zhou Tian Demon Refining Furnace, which had given birth to a spirit intelligence.

At his realm, one person was a top-tier super immortal-path scanner of the Boundless Starry Sky, one person was a super research and development center, even an independent immortal civilization, capable of weathering several tens of millions of years alone.

"Very interesting."

"From his memories, the Reverse Five Elements Zhou Tian Demon Refining Furnace and the Heavenly Illusion Butterfly Lord share an extremely solid blood oath."

"In their humble days, the two rose together hand in hand, mutually dependent… I, this Sovereign, used to think the two were enemies."

Jiang Ding curled his lip.

He wasn't very interested in these monsters and demons; his main focus remained on the furnace body structure, prohibitions, and spirit structure of the Reverse Five Elements Zhou Tian Demon Refining Furnace.

This was very important.

One had to know that the Immortal Sect was a civilization built around formation spirits; the defection of a Spirit Treasure realm artifact spirit carried an extremely important warning for the Immortal Sect.

"And this Heavenly Craft clan…"

Jiang Ding casually drew an amber from nearby.

Within this amber was sealed a living being composed of countless gears and flesh and blood; in this being's chest burned a miniature Reverse Five Elements Zhou Tian Demon Refining Furnace.

This was the current generation's Immortal Artifact Child.

Clearly, he didn't have the good fortune of this generation's Seven Kill Dao Child or Heavenly Sword Sword Child — in an instant he became research material, without a single human right.

"A race formed from artifact spirits?"

"Average individual quality is much stronger than mortals, with inherited artifact-refining memories, but the top Heavenly Craft clan beings fall a whole tier short of the human race's peak prodigies… utterly ordinary."

"Decent material for studying formation and artifact spirits; in the future I can consider adding them to the protected list of rare immortal-path species."

Jiang Ding said with keen interest.

Such words, like a casual act of charity, made one's hair stand on end.

What was a rare immortal-path species?

An immortal-path being on the verge of extinction!

The Sword Dao Sovereign of the Fallen Immortal Realm decided the fate of the once-glorious Heavenly Craft clan with a single sentence.

This was the Sword Dao Sovereign's mercy — even when they had committed such grave crimes, he was still willing to add them to the protected list of rare immortal-path species.

Jiang Ding studied it roughly and found many useful things, deciding to devote some effort to it in the future.

At last, he took out again a thing like a piece of charcoal.

This was a trophy from back then in the Heavenly Craft Star Chain World Cluster, a gift from the last-generation Supreme Being of the Spirit Treasure realm, who said there would be a karmic tie in the future.

Jiang Ding's magic power poured into it, awakening the spirit hidden within this piece of charcoal.

This was actually not a living being, but another formation spirit created by numerous Spirit Treasure realm methods, possessing part of the last-generation Supreme Being of the Spirit Treasure realm's memories.

Countless dim lights gathered together, finally forming a blue-robed Daoist.

"Young friend,"

"After all these years, you have finally begun to come into contact with our Sect's failed immortal artifact…"

The blue-robed Daoist's voice was incomparably weathered. As he recalled the last time he had seen this young man, his voice suddenly caught, and his eyes went round as saucers.

He stared wide-eyed.

What did he see?

The Reverse Five Elements Zhou Tian Demon Refining Furnace was clutched in the youth's hand like a dead dog, casually toyed with; he saw this

A familiar mountain gate, countless white ashes spreading across the sky — once again, after many years, he had come to this place.

Was this an illusion?!

A long silence.

"Sect!"

"My sect…"

The voice of the last-generation Supreme of Lingbao Realm was somewhat choked.

In those years, Lingbao Realm had been destroyed by his own hands — he had watched helplessly as the Liezulie Sect was usurped, and all its disciples and elders became puppets.

And now, at the moment of his awakening, he had actually witnessed the destruction of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong.

The vast changes wrought by time made one sigh.

"Little friend—"

"Dao friend,"

The last-generation Supreme of Lingbao Realm swept his divine sense once, understood many things, sighed, and said: "Many thanks."

"This old man is truly somewhat envious."

"It was actually a being of the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm who accomplished the long-cherished wish that generations of the Fallen Realm's Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong had never achieved, right before my very eyes. Compared to that, this old man, this mediocre person, is truly a sinner before his sect."

His divine sense swept once, and he discovered something horrifying.

The Qi Sect Supreme — whose strength was not considered weak even among Supremes — had been captured alive by the blue-robed youth before him in a single sword strike!

This was utterly impossible for any being below a Seven-Tribulation Supreme to accomplish.

The youth before him, the blue-robed youth with somewhat boyish features, was the strongest being in the Fallen Immortal Realm in tens of millions of years — the Supreme Sovereign.

He was the Lord of the Fallen Immortal Realm!

The simulated consciousness of the last-generation Supreme of Lingbao Realm, by the end, could not help but become much more reverent in tone.

The being before him — even if his true self were to come here, he would have to bow with utmost respect, kowtow with the courtesy due a subordinate, or else pay the price of death.

"Haha!"

"Senior need not belittle yourself."

Jiang Ding smiled and said: "A Six-Tribulation Supreme who went mad enough to directly forge an immortal artifact — this Sovereign has searched the endless starry skies and never encountered such a madman."

"What's even more astonishing is that he actually produced some results!"

"If Senior is a mediocre person, then who could be called a heaven's pride?"

Jiang Ding said admiringly.

The deeper his cultivation grew, the more he marveled at the madness of this last-generation Supreme of Lingbao Realm.
