Chapter 1622: Chapter 721: Divine Artifact 2

At that moment,

Every Golden Armored Warrior who activated True Qi and stood on the Cyan-Scaled Giant Dragon had a drastic change of expression, stopping directly in their tracks. Not a single Beast Race elite dared to proceed further!

Each Beast Race elite stared fixedly at the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword in Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing’s hand, their faces showing horror and unwillingness.

Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing continued, "Step back, or else I will immediately launch an attack, and your Beast Race Ancestor might fall within a second!"

Upon hearing Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing’s threat, even though the Beast Race elites were incredibly unwilling, nobody dared to act rashly!

For over twenty thousand years, the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin had become an idol and a figure of worship for every Beast Race cultivator... Every Beast Race elite knew well that if Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin were to fall, it would demolish all confidence among the billions of Beast Race members, which would be an epic disaster for the Beast Race!

In their helplessness and unwillingness, the Golden Horn Race elites and Cyan-Scaled Giant Dragons that had charged forward began to slowly retreat!

Seeing all the Beast Race elites who were preparing to attack retreating one by one, Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief!

She had just claimed to be able to instantly unleash thousands upon thousands of Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword attacks... But to truly unleash thousands upon thousands of attacks is easier said than done. The Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword’s consumption of True Qi was terrifyingly high, and the Northern Celestial Emperor estimated that she could at most utilize the soul-cleaving power of the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword a dozen more times before exhausting all her True Qi!

’Nevertheless, I have managed to intimidate these Beast Race elites, and I’ve indeed intimidated the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin!

Though claiming I can slash thousands upon thousands of times instantly is bragging... But which Beast Race elite would dare to let me try!’

Northern Celestial Emperor glanced at the retreating Beast Race elites, silently thinking to herself.

Moments later,

The various Golden Horn Race elites and Cyan-Scaled Giant Dragons had retreated back to their previous positions!

And the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, under the influence of the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword’s power, hesitated for a moment before finally showing a somewhat helpless expression.

The next instant,

The Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield that protected Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin suddenly flickered and then completely vanished!

This Beast Race Ancestor, in a situation without any chance of victory and already under control, relinquished the protection of the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield, clearly expressing its stance!

Seeing the sudden disappearance of the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield, Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing’s eyes flashed with joy, but her face deliberately showed a rather aloof expression as she spoke:

"Facing my Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword and me, a cultivator of the Fourteenth Layer of Transcendence, Qiu Jin, you still dare to do this, letting go of all your defenses... Aren’t you afraid that in the instant you removed the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield, I would directly slash and obliterate you?"

Saying this, Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing slightly trembled the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword in her hand,

And the two beams of light from the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword that had initially penetrated Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin’s body began to float out on their own!

After the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword was improved by Lin Xuankong, its power could be freely controlled, remarkably!

As soon as the beam of light floated out from Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin’s body, the previously motionless and speechless Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin suddenly moved, swiftly retreating backward.

After retreating a hundred meters, this Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin finally fixed its gaze on the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword in Mo Liqing’s hand.

Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing’s expression remained cold as she faced the Beast Race Ancestor, speaking, "The question I asked you earlier, you have yet to answer. When you removed the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield just now, weren’t you afraid I would cut you down with a single blow?"

Upon hearing this, Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin sighed deeply, shaking its head:

"I have idly wasted over thirty thousand years and have seen countless cultivators, claiming that I have some insights into human nature!

Even though we meet for the first time and directly start a battle, from what I see, you are not a cunning and deceitful person!"

Speaking of cunning and deceitful individuals, Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin specifically glanced at the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor’s Beast Race disciple Yang Jian’an, causing the face of this Six Paths True Immortal Emperor’s Chief Disciple to turn pale and then blue! Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin’s words evidently alluded to him, but Qiu Jin did not explicitly point out. If Yang Jian’an were to open his mouth to retort, he would only embarrass himself! Moreover, given the strength Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin had just displayed... even if Yang Jian’an wanted to retort, he likely wouldn’t dare!

"Furthermore, the soul attack power of your Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword has already controlled me!

If I refuse to let go of the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield, I might only hold out for a moment, but in the end, the result would still be my demise!

Either way leads to demise, so I might as well gamble to see if you, a Northern Celestial Emperor, are trustworthy, and to see if I have misjudged!"

Saying this, Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin looked closely at Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing, sighing:

"Your Fourteenth Layer Transcendence strength is indeed powerful, but without this Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword... the legendary Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword shouldn’t have such astonishing soul attack effects, what transformation has this sword undergone to suddenly become so strong?"

Upon hearing this, Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing raised the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword in her hand, gently caressing it with affection,

"After being improved by Mr. Profound Void, the sword’s power has increased by at least ten times, and it uniquely possesses the soul attack power in the Star River!"

"Mr. Profound Void?

No matter which galaxy Mr. Profound Void hails from, regardless of his cultivation level,

Just this divine artifact refining technique is enough to etch into the minds of countless cultivators across the Star River!"

Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin appeared unfamiliar with the name of Lin Xuankong.

Perhaps the Northern Celestial War Emperor Li Changming of the Thirteenth Layer of Transcendence, during his investigation into human affairs, might have heard of it, but Lin Xuankong three years ago secluded himself, merely a cultivator of the Ninth Layer of Transcendence, in the vast Star River among the human race, this realm would hardly count for much!

Yet after this battle,

Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, who initially held the upper hand, was directly defeated due to the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, almost perishing...

The reputation of the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword,

and the name of ’Mr. Profound Void’,

will likely become universally known not only among human cultivators but also among Beast Race cultivators, becoming famous far and wide!

"The matter of the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword can be set aside!

The current issue is, Beast Race Ancestor, do your previous words still hold?"

Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing raised her hand to put away the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, speaking.

Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin’s face showed an array of changes, and after a while, it let out a long breath and said:

"The deep hatred between the human race and the Beast Race certainly won’t be easily dissolved,

I have already stated, if defeated by the Northern Celestial Emperor today, I, Qiu Jin, must lead numerous Beast Race elites to retreat and absolutely won’t invade the human territories for the next three thousand years!

Since you, the Northern Celestial Emperor, keep your word and did not attack when I relinquished the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield, how could I, Qiu Jin, betray trust!

However, in three thousand years, I, Qiu Jin, will definitely return, and by that time, your extraordinary Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword surely won’t achieve such surprising effects!"

The Beast Race Ancestor indeed kept its word, but evidently, it hasn’t relinquished its hatred nor abandoned its ambition to conquer the vast territories of the human race.

’Regardless,

If this Beast Race Ancestor keeps its promise, then today’s battle ultimately brings three thousand years of peace to the human race!

The key to victory in this battle lies in that Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword!’

Upon hearing Qiu Jin’s words, the coldness on Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing’s face dissipated significantly, and in her heart, she grew increasingly respectful of Lin Xuankong’s unmatched artifact refining skills, her unconsummated partner.
