I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 312: Chapter 211: Acquiring the Sword Remains, Breaking Through to Tier Seven

Do you have any questions?

There’s too many.

Like, why aren’t you dead yet?

Of course, the moment he was about to say that, Han Zhan forcibly swallowed the words back.

The literal meaning and the understood meaning can have a slight deviation.

Han Zhan worried that if he really said it, not only would he fail as a son-in-law, but the Sword Remains might end up being a futile effort.

So, he changed the question.

”Uncle Chen, since you still maintain consciousness, why don’t you meet them?”

”I can’t maintain this state for long, and I can only manifest near the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword.”

Chen Zhongxia’s soul had completely merged with his Contracted Spirit and underwent mutation, yet could still maintain partial consciousness, which was not easy.

Han Zhan nodded and asked the second question.

”Uncle Chen, you are fused with the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword to guard Buried Sword City. Why did you not take action when the Tribulation Thunder descended and the Dream Demon invaded?”

This question had puzzled Han Zhan for a long time.

Because the presence of the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword made the Alien Race not dare approach Buried Sword City within ten miles, a true Tier Nine’s deterrence was evident.

However, when Han Zhan completed alchemy and attracted Celestial Thunder, it did not take action.

When the Dream Demon attacked Han Zhan using Bai Su and the Spiritual Awareness Pill, it did not take action either.

”Tribulation Thunder is Celestial Punishment, and the damage it does to soul-type entities is incredibly terrifying.

If it’s a complete soul, a Tier Nine might barely withstand it, but my soul merged with the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword is inherently fragmented; if it suffers Tribulation Thunder, I wouldn’t need others to take action, I’d already be disintegrated.”

Celestial Punishment’s Tribulation Thunder naturally restrains soul bodies.

This was something Han Zhan hadn’t considered before.

Chen Zhongxia continued:

”As for the Dream Demon invasion, it was an invasion from the consciousness level, using an unusual elixir like the Spiritual Awareness Pill, even I couldn’t detect it.”

”And even if I could detect it, as long as it continued to hide in the consciousness level, in my current state, I couldn’t harm it.”

Han Zhan’s two questions were patiently answered by Chen Zhongxia one by one.

More questions, like how Chen Zhongxia obtained the Dream True Fruit, how the ”dream-come-true” ability of the Dream True Fruit helped him break through Tier Nine, and so on, had too many questions without answers and didn’t have time for explanations.

Because time was running out.

The soul body that Chen Zhongxia had condensed was becoming increasingly dim.

”Are you ready?” Chen Zhongxia suddenly asked Han Zhan.

Han Zhan didn’t know why Chen Zhongxia suddenly asked, he was momentarily stunned.

”The Dream Demon has left, but that doesn’t mean your troubles are over; on the contrary, they’ve just started.”

As soon as Chen Zhongxia spoke, Han Zhan looked up sharply, sensing something and gazing at the sky.

In the originally cloudless sky, void particles were frantically absorbing Spiritual Power, completing the transformation from virtual to real.

A massive Strategic Cruise Ship obscured the sky, appearing above Buried Sword City.

Due to its enormous size, the virtual-reality transformation was only halfway complete.

But that’s not the main point.

The main point is, there are at least ten Strategic Cruise Ships in the sky of similar size.

”Mechanical Sect!”

The main forces of the Mechanical Sect have arrived!

And it’s not just them.

In three out of the four directions around Buried Sword City, enemy forces appeared to varying degrees.

To the west, a familiar sea of Exotic Beasts had gathered, completing their assembly after a long absence.

To the south, from the direction of the Sun Never Sets Knight Order, a black passage filled with a fallen aura appeared out of thin air, and Fallen Knights, clad in heavy black armor and riding warhorses, slowly stepped out from the passage.

To the north, countless Life and Death Apostles made a return.

Except for the eastern Anti-Xia Alliance, enemies appeared in every other direction, coveting Buried Sword City!

They were all here for Han Zhan.

Now Han Zhan is like the Tang Monk in Journey to the West, coveted by all sorts of monsters wanting a bite of his flesh.

”Are you ready?” Chen Zhongxia’s voice rang out again. By now, Han Zhan had completely understood the situation, and he asked again.

”Take out the Sword Remains, complete the fusion. You can break through to Tier Seven, but accordingly, the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword protecting Buried Sword City will completely perish due to losing the Sword Remains, unable to continue protecting you anymore.”

Han Zhan knew very well.

Now all the forces are very restrained, a hundred percent because of the existence of the Tier Nine Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword.

Once the Tier Nine Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword perishes, they will no longer hold back, determined to crush Buried Sword City and capture Han Zhan!

Am I really ready?

Looking at the rapidly fading soul figure of Chen Zhongxia, vivid memories flashed through Han Zhan’s mind like lightning.

And more, more the images from this journey.

He suddenly smiled freely.

”There’s no such thing as being ready.”

”Life, fate, future, they’re always unpredictable. Who can pat their chest and say they are completely prepared?”

”Not backing down, openly facing everything, is also a form of preparedness.”

”Bring it on.”

Han Zhan’s answer made Chen Zhongxia’s smile on his face grow stronger.

”Good, good, good!” Chen Zhongxia laughed loudly, saying ”good” three times in a row, ”With your words, with your realization, I am completely at ease!”

”Hey kid Han, take this Tier Nine Sword Remains!”

After Chen Zhongxia finished speaking, his soul-condensed form completely dissipated, and specks of light re-entered the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword, condensing a crystal-clear Sword Remains at the point where the sword hilt connects to the blade.

It emitted a white glow and fell into Han Zhan’s hands.

After fulfilling this mission, Chen Zhongxia and his merged Contracted Spirit, the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword guarding Buried Sword City for centuries, have completely fulfilled their mission.

A gentle breeze blew through.

The towering Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword transformed into countless beads of light that gently scattered across the entire city.

In Han Zhan’s ears, still echoing was Chen Zhongxia’s final reminder before his soul returned to heaven and earth.

”Kid, treat Jin well. If you have time in the future, bring her back home to visit me...”

Han Zhan clenched the Tier Nine Sword Remains in his hand.

From beginning to end, Chen Zhongxia never worried about whether he could walk out of this encirclement alive.

He looked at the empty central area, nodded heavily.

”I will.”

This is a promise between men.

In the next second, the Tier Nine Sword Remains in Han Zhan’s palm melted, completely transforming into a pure energy with concentrated Sword Intent, reconstructing the perfect foundation originally crafted by a Tier Nine Celestial Serpent Abnormal Skeleton, taking it to a higher level!

Han Zhan’s power, as the foundation completed its reconstruction, soared.

He emitted an increasingly powerful Spiritual Power wave and an increasingly vast Infinite Sword Sea!

Han Zhan, breakthrough to Tier Seven!
