The Sacred War Begins (Part 3)

The massive black metal was completely obscured, yet it was clearly a fragment of something else. As the nine Half-Demon Artifact- level treasures were brought out, all the Asura Sect on the peak of Sole Dominance Mountain stared intently at these items, their eyes showing a hint of excitement. Half-Demon Artifact- level items would tempt even Five Emperors -level expert.

However, while these powerful figures swept their gazes over the nine Half-Demon Artifacts, most of their attention lingered on the equipment, Pill, and Cultivation Technique, with a few focusing on the materials. But none of them, like Zhuge Xiang, fixed their gaze on the Great Black Iron.

"This is Quicksilver Spear of Half-Demon Artifact level, with extremely high penetrating power, capable of piercing almost all Half-Demon Artifact level defensive treasures," the Nine Great Emperor said, introducing their treasures one by one after taking out their Half-Demon Artifact treasures.

The Nine Great Emperor introduced the capabilities of the equipment, the effects of the Pill, the power of the Cultivation Technique, and the functions of the materials. Hearing their introductions, the eyes of these peak experts from Sole Dominance Mountain were filled with eagerness. Although there were more than thirty experts on the summit, the probability of seizing the prize was still very high.

The first eight Great Emperors could all give a general explanation of the functions and effects of the items they brought out. However, when it came to the last Great Emperor, he himself did not have much knowledge about the Great Black Iron.

"This Great Black Iron, forged from some unknown material, appears to be a fragment of something I acquired by chance hundreds of years ago, but I haven't been able to decipher its secrets. I don't know its specific effects. However, this Great Black Iron has extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even Half-Demon Artifact artifacts would find it difficult to damage it."

A Great Black Iron, its purpose unknown, but remarkably hard. Upon hearing the Great Emperor's words, the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain showed little interest in this dark, unassuming Great Black Iron. However, Zhuge Xiang's gaze was fixed intently on the Great Black Iron, and he was even excited.

Zhuge Xiang would never mistake this Great Black Iron. It was definitely one of the Great Black Iron from the broken South Heaven Gate. So far, Zhuge Xiang had already found two parts of the South Heaven Gate. If he could obtain this piece of Great Black Iron, he would have collected more than half of the South Heaven Gate.

Although he didn't know what the effect of repairing the South Heaven Gate would be, Zhuge Xiang was absolutely certain that if he controlled a gate to the Immortal Realm, it would be far more valuable than an Immortal Artifact or Demon Artifact.

The Great Black Iron that this Great Emperor had taken out, of unknown origin, displeased not only the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain, but also the other Great Emperor themselves.

For this Sacred War, the Great Emperor all offered their treasures, but this guy offered a Great Black Iron from who-knows-where as a reward. If it weren't for the fact that this piece of Great Black Iron was so sturdy that it could truly rival Half-Demon Artifact, how could it be worthy of being a reward for the Sacred War?

"Now, please welcome the Demon Artifact reward." However, when it came to the Great Black Iron that the last Great Emperor took out, the Great Emperor didn't say much and spoke in unison.

Upon hearing the words of the Great Emperor, all the powerful figures on the Sole Dominance Peak were invigorated and eagerly awaited their arrival. Even the five Great Emperors were no exception. Even the Wine Emperor, who usually didn't care about anything, became slightly more serious and watched the actions of the Nine Great Emperor.

In the Sacred War on Sole Dominance Mountain, the top ten all received rewards. Nine Great Emperor presented nine Half-Demon Artifacts. So, where was the last Demon Artifact? In fact, this last Demon Artifact was not presented by any one of the Great Emperor, but rather the will of the Nine Great Emperor was linked to the Asura Path Will, allowing the Asura Path bestow a Demon Artifact as a reward for the Sacred War champion.

Demon Artifact! Even Great Emperor would be tempted by these, and some Demon Artifact with heaven-defying abilities are enough to provoke a fight among Great Emperor. When Demon Artifact appear as rewards for the championship battle, the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain are naturally eagerly anticipating them. Besides wanting to see clearly what kind of Demon Artifact reward it is, they also want to personally experience the manifestation of the Asura Path Will.

Once one's cultivation reaches the level of Asura Emperor, especially the level of Asura Emperor, one can faintly sense the existence of the Asura Path Will. The only thing missing is to finally connect one's will with the will of the Asura Path before one can step into the Great Emperor level.

Therefore, the Nine Great Emperor's request for the Asura Path Will to bestow Demon Artifact as rewards was a shortcut for them to personally experience the Asura Path Will, which would play a crucial role in their future breakthroughs.

The wills of the Nine Great Emperor were all entrusted to the Asura Path Will. When the Nine Great Emperor spoke together, the Asura Path Will naturally responded. Suddenly, a crack Hundred Zhang long appeared in the Void, and a dark red light flickered in the crack, like an enormous eye looking down at everyone on Sole Dominance Mountain.

"The Sacred War has begun, concerning the lives of countless beings in the Asura Path. We request that you bestow treasures as a reward for the champion," the Nine Great Emperor said in unison, their gazes fixed calmly on the enormous eye that stretched Hundred Zhang in the sky.

The will of the Asura Path appeared, and an unparalleled pressure swept across the entire peak of Sole Dominance Mountain, making everyone feel an immense pressure.

Those with weaker strength only felt pressure, but figures like the Five Emperors could sense the presence of the Asura Path Will. At the same time, they spread their Divine Sense to feel every bit of the Asura Path Will, trying to take this opportunity to comprehend the Asura Path's will to the best of their ability.

The Hundred Zhang- long eye formed from the Asura Path Will came quickly and went quickly. In just a dozen breaths, the enormous eye in the sky slowly closed. However, a point of light shone from the closed eye, like a teardrop flowing from the eye, and slowly fell down, landing in mid-air above Sole Dominance Mountain.

As the light faded, the True Appearance of Mount Lu of this Demon Artifact was finally revealed: an exaggeratedly shaped, blood-red greatsword. An incredibly dense and nauseating Blood Fiend Qi emanated from it, enveloping the entire Sole Dominance Mountain.

The dense Blood Fiend Qi made even the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain feel dizzy and nauseous, as if a vast sea of the Blood Sea had been poured onto this greatsword.

"This? Could it be the legendary Demonic Qi? The Blood Transformation Divine Saber? The Blood Transformation Divine Saber that once killed Great Emperor?" One of the Great Emperor suddenly exclaimed as he looked at the blood-red blade floating in mid-air. As soon as the Great Emperor spoke, the others stared at the Blood Transformation Divine Saber with burning eyes. They had obviously heard of the name of this Blood Transformation Divine Saber.

In the Three Realms and Six Paths, treasures at the Half-Immortal Artifact Grade are rare, but those at the Great Emperor level are at least a few in number, and some even have more than a dozen.

However, treasures of the Immortal Artifact and Demon Artifact levels are extremely rare. Each one possesses a reputation that can shake the Three Realms and Six Paths. Even Great Emperor usually only have one or two. This Blood Transformation Divine Saber is definitely one of the best among Demon Artifact.

"The Blood Transformation Divine Saber? Legend has it that in Ancient Times, when the Three Realms were first separated, during the Immortal-Demon War, a powerful figure from the Demon Realm used the Blood Transformation Divine Saber to kill Great Emperor of the Immortal Realm?" Thunder Flame Emperor stared at the Blood Transformation Divine Saber with burning eyes, his expression filled with Blood Transformation Divine Saber and fanaticism, clearly determined to obtain it.

A sword capable of slaying Great Emperor —once obtained, even several Great Emperors would be wary of it?

No wonder Thunder Flame Emperor stared so intently at the Blood Transformation Divine Saber. The favorites to Winning the Championship were undoubtedly the Five Emperors present, and Thunder Flame Emperor, known as the leader of the Five Emperors, was therefore the one with the greatest chance of Winning the Championship. If nothing unexpected happened, the Blood Transformation Divine Saber would naturally fall into Thunder Flame Emperor's hands.

"The Blood Transformation Divine Saber is indeed powerful, but in the Cultivation World, my Sea Calming Divine Needle and Immortal Slaying Sword are sufficient. To me, the South Heaven Gate is far more valuable than the Blood Transformation Divine Saber."

Although Zhuge Xiang also tempted by the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, after calming down and thinking it over, he realized that the Great Black Iron formed from the fragments of the South Heaven Gate was more valuable to him.

"Alright, now that all ten prizes have appeared, I declare the Sacred War officially open!" As the final Demon Artifact, the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, appeared, the Great Emperor, after calming their astonishment, announced loudly.

"Those participating in this Sacred War number thirty-six Heavenly Generals." Without even looking, his Divine Sense constantly monitored the surroundings; within a hundred-mile radius, none could escape the Great Emperor's notice. As he spoke, the Great Emperor raised his hand and unleashed thirty-six beams of light, randomly striking the thirty-six individuals. Then, these beams of light transformed into the numbers one through eighteen...

"Very good, the list of Duel has now been released. Eighteen sets of numbers, starting from the first, one by one," the Great Emperor, who was presiding over the battle, nodded and said, looking at the numbers that appeared on the thirty-six participants.

"First, let's establish the rules of the battle. As always, the rule of battle is that there are no rules. Use any means necessary to kill your opponent, and you will win. The entire Sacred Mountain is your Battlefield. Now, please welcome the first group of participants to step forward."

"Is it me in the first group?" Mo Lingna, standing next to Zhuge Xiang, looked at the number that appeared on her body, which was one. Upon hearing this, Mo Lingna walked onto the stage.

As Mo Lingna stepped onto the stage, another contestant followed—a Female Rakshasa. Her powerful Baleful Qi indicated she was also at the Asura Emperor level. Her daring attire gave her a wild, beautiful appearance. Staring at Mo Lingna, who had also ascended the stage, a bloodthirsty fighting spirit flashed in her beautiful eyes. (To be continued...)
