"An Earth Sacred Artifact with nine stars seems to have reached its limit."
In the courtyard, Ye Chen held the Heavenly Sword high. Surging streams of Sword Qi radiated outward, shaking time and space as light flowed and swirled. The entire Heavenly Sword seemed like the eye of a storm, blooming with boundless might.
Fusing the first Godstone had gone quite smoothly. He had nearly failed when fusing the second, so Ye Chen did not dare fuse the third.
