Defective Item

The bone tower emanated pleasant energy fluctuations, swirling continuously around Ye Feng. It seemed to be saying, "I'm willing, I'm willing to follow you."

"Why would they willingly acknowledge me as their master?"

Ye Feng was very curious.

"Could it be... that you recognized me?"

Ye Feng guessed at one possibility.

The Crystalline Bone Tower is Chaos Artifact. Ye Feng is Chaos God, and his bloodline mutated into Chaos Bloodline the moment he became a god.

The Crystalline Bone Tower possessed a tower spirit, which had developed sentience. Ye Feng felt that the bone tower must have sensed the aura emanating from his Chaos Bloodline, and thus wanted to recognize Ye Feng as its master.

"Although you are currently only an incomplete item, you are still a chaotic magic weapon. Before my Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul is unsealed, I will let you stay with me."

The Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul is imprinted with Ye Feng's chaotic energy; it is a chaotic "magical artifact" that evolved when he became a Chaos God.

Currently, Ye Feng indeed lacks Chaos-level magical artifacts. Ordinary weapons are hardly worthy of his attention. This incomplete Crystalline Bone Tower, however, is a decent transitional weapon for him at the moment.

Ye Feng bit his index finger and squeezed out a drop of gray blood.

"Absorb it, complete the ritual of recognizing you as my master. From now on, you are my sacred vessel."

The Crystalline Bone Tower understood Ye Feng's meaning and let the gray blood drip onto its body.

"Buzz!"

That's Chaos Blood.

The Crystalline Bone Tower lit up with a light, and the fluctuations of its aura became even stronger.

"Owner!"

"Has he regained his senses?"

"Yes, Master. Thank you for bestowing upon me the Chaos Blood."

"Um."

Like Shi Hao, Ye Feng tied the Crystalline Bone Tower to his hair as a decorative item.

"Ding-dong!"

"Congratulations, you have been recognized as the master of the Chaos Artifact - Chaos Bone Tower. You now possess the Chaos Bone Tower, which will influence many subsequent storylines. One-time reward: 1391 Attribute Points."

As he continued forward, a sea of fire appeared before Ye Feng.

Amidst the sea of fire, flames soared to the heavens. Endless Magma Surge.

The mountains are melting, and several peaks are melting as well. The molten lava is dripping down.

"Heavenly Flames!"

Ye Feng blurted it out.

He recognized the cluster of flames ahead. It was the top-tier flame used to forge Precious Artifact. It was Heavenly Flames, but the people here called it the Earth Phoenix Fire.

How terrifying is the Earth Phoenix Fire?

The mountains ahead were melting. A faint cry of a phoenix could be heard. The flickering flames resembled a phoenix dancing.

Buzzing

The Crystalline Bone Tower emitted soft humming sounds, seemingly very excited and eager to devour the Earth Phoenix Fire.

That's understandable.

It is incomplete. It needs to be refined again using this exotic object.

"I can't give this to you. My cultivation is currently sealed, and having it would increase my combat power."

Ye Feng had no intention of entering the Crystalline Bone Tower. With a thought, surging Soul Power enveloped the Earth Phoenix Fire. He opened his mouth and swallowed the Earth Phoenix Fire.

As the Heavenly Flames entered his abdomen, a surge of energy began to burn Ye Feng's body.

Fortunately, Ye Feng's physical body is now comparable to that of an ancient remnant species, so even after devouring the Heavenly Flames, it is still within his tolerance. Ye Feng circulated the Flame Mantra, and as time passed, the Earth Phoenix Fire was completely refined by it.

Ye Feng flipped his hand, and a cluster of flames appeared in response to his command.

The flames are blue, white, and red. The red color comes from the Earth Phoenix Fire.

Suddenly, just as Ye Feng was feeling smug, the Storage Ring trembled.

"The aftereffects of incompatibility Heavenly Flames".

Ye Feng was taken aback. He clenched his fists and gave a soft shout.

"Drink!"

Ye Feng forced that Evil Fire out of his body.

He is no longer the same person he once was. A mere Evil Fire that can be combined with Heavenly Flames cannot corrupt him.

"Any objections?" Ye Feng asked.

"I wouldn't dare," said the Crystalline Treasure Bone.

"Don't worry, it's just about rebuilding the tower for you. Once I recover my cultivation, I will definitely rebuild the tower for you."

"Thank you, Master."

Continue forward to the central area of Ye Feng Ruins.

There stands a colossal mountain here, immensely vast. It appears as if dozens of peaks have been joined together, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring spectacle.

"Arrive."

Ye Feng called out, "Senior, it's your turn to make a move."

The Guei Ye seemed to sense Ye Feng's words. A string of black characters appeared between Ye Feng's eyebrows.

The mountain was barren, its entire surface a grayish-brown. Some of the rocks were dark red, resembling bloodstains.

This is truly the place where powerful figures shed their blood in ancient times.

In the past, it was here that the Guei Ye's body was destroyed in resentment.

Ye Feng relied on the remnant consciousness left behind by Guei Ye and the senses of the sword. He closed his eyes and sensed for a while, then his gaze suddenly turned to a certain direction.

"There it is."

Ye Feng's gaze drifted towards a certain direction on the Treasure Dividing Cliff. He grabbed at the air with his palm, and with a crack, the rock shattered. A piece of broken iron emerged from the mountain.

The moment the broken iron piece broke through the ground, a dense Black Fiend Energy erupted like a volcanic eruption.

The iron plate was quite unsightly, not only lacking any runes but also covered in rust and corrosion, on the verge of rotting. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the decorations on the hilt had decayed, leaving only the blade itself, barely enough to grip.

"This sword really does have... personality!"

"Indeed, hahahahaha."

Numerous creatures laughed mockingly.

"Indeed... not very good."

Ye Feng did not refute those beings who mocked him. On the contrary, he quite agreed with them.

The Guei Ye's sword has been sealed here since ancient times, always accompanied by the Black Fiend. If this sword still has a spirit, then it is truly defying the heavens.

Moreover, this isn't the first time this sword has been damaged like this. It has been repaired countless times, and the Dao Rhythm it once possessed has long since dissipated. Now it's just a broken sword, or perhaps the word "trash" best describes its current status.

When the Heaven Mending Pavilion suffered a great calamity, Guei Ye used this sword to fight his enemies, but he couldn't unleash its full power. In the end, he had no choice but to draw the sword from his head and fight to the death. He slew Qiong Qi and many other Ferocious Beast supreme beings.

After the Heaven Mending Pavilion, Guei Ye gifted the sword to Shi Hao. Shi Hao used it a few times initially, but never again after entering the Upper Realm. Shi Hao also realized that the sword was damaged and had lost all its Dao Rhythm, which is why he abandoned it.

"Little Tower, here you go." Ye Feng tossed it lightly.

The shimmering Little Tower tied in his hair emitted a golden light. An alluring vortex formed at the base of the pagoda, drawing the sword inside. The pagoda itself then glowed. A keen eye would notice that the four-story Little Tower had subtly grown taller.

"The sword is gone!"

Guei Ye Gui was taken aback.

The treasure he brought down from the Upper Realm has simply vanished.

"Senior, this Sword Cultivator, and has long lost its Dao Rhythm. What use is it? Another day, I will forge you a sword with a more profound Dao Rhythm."

"Young friend, you mustn't go back on your word."

Guei Ye wasn't angry. He was actually looking forward to seeing what kind of weapon Ye Feng would forge for him. He hadn't forgotten that Ye Feng had resurrected him!

Ye Feng sent a message to Guei Ye. His soul realm had reached the Emperor Realm of the Doupo Plane, allowing him to communicate with Guei Ye outside the Hundred Severed Mountains at a precise distance.

Guei Ye received Ye Feng's message. With a thought, he left the area around the Hundred Severed Mountains and vanished without a trace.
