However, once Long Xiaoman confirmed that Lu Ren's life was not in danger, he breathed a small sigh of relief.
Then he turned toward the Immortal-Smiting Iron nearby.
At that moment, the Immortal-Smiting Iron lay quietly on the ground. The tortoise patterns on its back were badly shattered.
Many of the tortoise patterns had even gone completely dark.
"It's actually damaged this badly!"
Long Xiaoman frowned.
Having received the Dao-Lord of Return-to-Void's legacy, he naturally knew that the Immortal-Smiting Iron by Lu Ren's side was the Primordial Treasure that had once accompanied his master: the World-Pacifying Black Tortoise Iron.
Long Xiaoman lowered his gaze to the World-Smiting White Tiger Saber in his hand.
"Back then, Master wanted to melt you down and fuse you into one!"
Long Xiaoman said calmly, "Now that both of you Primordial Treasures are shattered, this is the perfect opportunity!"
"What are you trying to do?"
A trace of terror finally surfaced in the World-Smiting White Tiger Saber's voice, as though it had guessed something.
"Naturally, I'm going to erase your consciousness completely and preserve only your spiritual essence!"
Long Xiaoman said coldly, "Then I'll fuse you into the World-Pacifying Black Tortoise Iron!"
"You wouldn't dare!"
The World-Smiting White Tiger Saber roared wildly.
Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!
Its broken blade shuddered violently, constantly releasing white saber light as it tried to break free of Long Xiaoman's grasp.
Yet the moment those rays of saber light erupted, Long Xiaoman's Return-to-Void Dao Power dissolved them.
No matter how the World-Smiting White Tiger Saber struggled, it achieved nothing.
Long Xiaoman paid it no further attention.
He hoisted Lu Ren over his shoulder, took the Immortal-Smiting Iron and the World-Smiting White Tiger Saber with him, and leaped into the Ten-Thousand Ultimate Dao Lake.
A moment later.
Boom!
The tranquil lake surface
