battle with the Life and Death Apostle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand wielded the Xuanhua Giant Axe that could split open rooftops, while his left hand held the Unrivaled Halberd that could pierce stone walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung both weapons wide, sending scores of Life and Death Apostles flying away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet more and more Life and Death Apostles, like indestructible pests, relentlessly closed in again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, seven or eight Apostles hugged the Xuanhua Giant Axe, biting into it with their mouths wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Predictably, their teeth shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Apostle was cleanly split open by the blade of the Xuanhua Giant Axe, red and white splattering across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only him, the axe blade continued to sweep through another four Apostles, like chopping melons and vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet another Apostle seized the opportunity to close in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He too clung to the Xuanhua Giant Axe and gnawed ferociously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, half of his head was sliced off, his mouth still retaining the biting motion as Dong Dachui kicked him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Dong Dachui’s gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For he noticed a row of teeth marks had indeed appeared on the Xuanhua Giant Axe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Dachui thought he must have seen wrongly, he swung the halberd with force in his left hand, knocking down a crowd of Apostles, then raised his right hand to inspect closely again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Xuanhua Giant Axe, a Tier Seven Artifact, there truly were teeth marks left behind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of teeth are these?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the first bite have no effect, while the second succeeded?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two questions flashed through Dong Dachui’s mind, yet facing the overwhelming number of Apostles, his hands dared not cease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised the halberd and thrust it forward, skewering three Apostles like kebabs, the first Apostle suddenly grinned, revealing a meaningful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spat large mouthfuls of blood, his articulation rather unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the content of his speech was barely audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surprised, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wondering why I could gnaw through the Xuanhua Giant Axe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you heard of the proverb ’A thousand-mile dam destroyed by an ant nest’?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Life and Death Apostle finished speaking, Dong Dachui abruptly withdrew the halberd, the sharp blade equally shocked with tooth mark imprints!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the third wave of Apostles closed in again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless grass, countless foes, he was encountering stubborn adversaries for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After failing the tenth wave, Dong Dachui suddenly felt the weight in his hands lighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Xuanhua Giant Axe, unknowingly stalked by another Apostle, bit into its shaft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a shocking scene unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaft of the Xuanhua Giant Axe was bitten off in one chomp, losing a large chunk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the second bite, the third bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, the painstakingly crafted Tier Seven Artifact, the Xuanhua Giant Axe, was devoured completely by the Apostles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your ability is adaptation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Dachui suddenly lifted his head, revealing the Apostle’s means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Each copy of yours isn’t strong, the only advantage is your numbers, but regardless of how vast the numbers, the weak remain weak, never becoming strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To become an Apostle in the Old Covenant, how could one be weak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only explanation is, you use other methods, or possess other talents, to compensate for your attack shortcomings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vast numbers, difficult to kill, suitable for prolonged combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prolonged combat, coupled with the Apostle’s own analogy of the dam destroyed by ants, led him to think of one word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer the grind, the more advantageous it becomes, only a talent like this can complement his ability, allowing him to become one of the Twelve Apostles of the Old Covenant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, that’s why at first, even leaving a tooth imprint on the Xuanhua Giant Axe was impossible, yet gradually with increasing attempts, adaptation eventually allows for tool destruction and damage infliction!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Dong Dachui’s words, the Apostle didn’t deny, instead erupting into hearty laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Apostle wore an insidious smile, pouring forward, like unending wild grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another group of Apostles embraced the other Tier Seven Artifact in his hand, the Unrivaled Halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ferociously devoured the Unrivaled Halberd, transforming it into a bare stick in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another blink, even the stick vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apostles charged at Dong Dachui in the crowd’s center amid laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his two weapons chewed away, Dong Dachui wasn’t frantic, watching the charging Apostles, he let out a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems your strength hasn’t fully recovered since being suppressed by the Mechanical Sect and the Anti-Xia Alliance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch closely now, the true combat style of an Artifact Refining Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud cry, those forging tools on standby within the city were awakened one by one, transforming into dazzling beams of light streaking through the sky, slicing into the battlefield swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knife emanating Gang Energy descended from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ensuing Sword Gang cleared an entire surrounding area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine differing colors adorned the blade, each color containing unique Sword Qi, unleashing simultaneously, the battlefield a chaotic display of sword light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bronze Ancient Zen Staff was planted on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty-six Copper Rings adorned the staff, all interlinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved automatically, a grand and solemn Buddhist chant resonating, causing all nearby Apostles to succumb to heavy eyelids and fall asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A light cyan paper umbrella opened on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it opened, eighteen razor-sharp ribs shot outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The umbrella’s half-meter width expanded hundreds-fold under the tension of the ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its rim gleamed coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a vast umbrella, transformed into a Meat Grinder, wantonly shredding through the battlefield, all encompassed Apostles reduced to pulp in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from these three artifacts, there were many more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each was painstakingly forged by Dong Dachui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the six Tier Seven Artifacts, two were destroyed, four remained, harvesting on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier Five, Tier Six Artifacts were much more numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous single-use artifacts existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their presence threw the battlefield into chaos, every place erupting in battle, slaughter, and tool brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the Artifact Refining Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Dachui’s Spiritual Power was limited, he relinquished control of most artifacts, focusing on the four Tier Seven Artifacts, stirring up chaos on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A temporary delicate balance was achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it would depend on whether Dong Dachui’s Spiritual Power depleted first, or the artifacts completely adapted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or whether the countless Apostles would be slain first!\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-10T05:31:13.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","2ff0174d1e43b78509801abbb9e15192a783d26456ca4bac6c4f36b64f71cafa","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-318","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-316",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-cover.jpg"]
