The Demon Beast Tide Gathering Beyond the Border
Boom! Boom! Rumble...
In the territory pioneered by the Kong Household, thunderous sounds and the clanging of swords echoed in the sky.
The Kong Household cultivators who were busy below looked up at the sky and could see a crimson sword light moving rapidly through the air, leaving behind circles after circles caused by breaking the sound barrier.
"It's the Crimson Fire Divine Sword!"
"No! While the speed of a typical ' Crimson Fire Divine Sword ' may exceed the speed of sound, it's definitely not this fast!"
"This is definitely not First Tier Law Artifact level ' Crimson Fire Divine Sword,' it's probably Second Tier Spirit Artifact level ' Crimson Fire Divine Sword.'"
"Second Tier Spirit Artifact, the Crimson Fire Divine Sword! So, it means Brother Wenxuan has emerged from seclusion!"
Below, in the "Peacock County Seat" under construction, many Kong Household cultivators watched the crimson sword light rapidly moving through the sky, leaving behind sound barriers, and immediately began to discuss among themselves.
At the mountain peak, after conducting a preliminary test of the Second Tier Spirit Artifact "Crimson Fire Divine Sword," Kong Wenxuan sheathed the sword, his face thoughtful.
Just as he had predicted, the speed of this Second Tier Spirit Artifact, the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword," reached three times the speed of sound. This was not only an increase in sword speed, but also a huge increase in lethality and power.
After all, if you're fast enough, you can cut through steel, even a piece of paper; speed itself has tremendous destructive power.
Of course, besides the huge increase in sword speed and lethality, the biggest transformation and improvement of the Second Tier Spirit Artifact "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" lies in its spirituality.
Just like when dealing with those two late -Second Tier second-tier Lightning Falcon demon birds, the main reason why Uncle Kong Yushuo couldn't do anything to them was that the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" he had refined and mastered was only First Tier Law Artifact. It lacked spirituality in attack and battle, and could only engage in straightforward combat and slaughter.
Once the two Second Tier Lightning Falcon demon birds nimbly changed direction in the air, turning like lightning, the First Tier magic Law Artifact "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" activated by the eldest uncle could no longer nimbly change direction, catch up with the two Second Tier Lightning Falcon demon birds, entangle them, and kill them.
Even when Kong Wenxuan made his move, the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword," which had not yet been upgraded to Second Tier Spirit Artifact, was still unable to keep up with the two late -Second Tier second-tier Lightning Falcon demonic birds in terms of agility and maneuverability.
Therefore, in the end, he could only use the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation" to trap the two Second Tier Lightning Falcon demon birds in the formation and kill them with the sword formation.
However, if it were today, his "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" would have successfully advanced from First Tier Law Artifact to Second Tier Spirit Artifact. If he were to face those two late -Second Tier second-tier Lightning Falcon demonic birds, he wouldn't even need the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation." With just this Second Tier "Crimson Fire Divine Sword," he could kill them all.
The flight speed and agile maneuverability of the Second Tier -tier Lightning Falcon were completely overwhelmed by the three times the Sword Qi Thunderclap attack of the Second Tier "Crimson Fire Divine Sword".
The Crimson Fire Divine Sword, Second Tier Spirit Artifact capable of three times the speed of sound and flexibly changing direction, is paired with the White Metal Divine Sword, Second Tier Spirit Artifact of unparalleled sharpness and abundant spirituality.
Kong Wenxuan has successfully upgraded two of his five "Five Elements Five Elements Divine Swords," and both of these upgraded swords are renowned for their destructive power. It can be said that his current combat strength and destructive power are absolutely top-notch among those of the same level.
"The next divine sword to be refined and upgraded..." Kong Wenxuan's mind raced. Looking down at the mountain peak beneath his feet, he immediately made his decision. "I'll choose the ' Yellow Earth Divine Sword '."
With the "White Metal Divine Sword" and "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" having completed their Spirit Artifact upgrades, his current offensive power is sufficient. The next step is undoubtedly to consider improving his defense and safety.
The "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" Heavy Sword Has No Edge, Great Skill Appears Unrefined. Not only is it powerful in combat and lethality, but its defensive and protective effects also far surpass those of the other four divine swords.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan decided to select the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" as the third "divine sword" to be upgraded to the level of Spirit Artifact.
Moreover, he has already made a decision to abandon the Second Tier earth elemental material he purchased in Bifang Commandery City and instead choose the Second Tier "Shoushan Stone" material produced by the Second Tier "Shoushan Stone" mine in this pioneering mountain range as the material for the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" to devour, refine, and forge the sword.
The Second Tier earth elemental spiritual material purchased in "Bifang Commandery City" was just an ordinary Second Tier earth elemental spiritual material due to the Lineage's financial difficulties, far inferior to this Second Tier "Shoushan Stone" spiritual material.
Although the "Shoushan Stone" spiritual material does not have other earth element effects such as gravity or weight, it can withstand the test of time and years, which is a very good characteristic in itself. Refining it into his "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" is much better than the ordinary earth element spiritual materials he bought before.
Having made up his mind, Kong Wenxuan prepared to go to the Lineage warehouse to see if there were any Shoushan Stone materials that had already been mined.
He looked down the mountain and saw the "Crystal City Wall" of "Peacock County Seat" built under the supervision of the Second Elder. More than two years later, less than half of the area had been completed.
He couldn't help but frown slightly. It seemed that, as the clan leader had said, the Second Elder had set too high a standard for the design and construction of "Peacock County Seat".
At this rate, by the time the ten-year tax exemption period ends, he doubts whether the "Peacock County Seat" will still be completed.
Perhaps he should support the clan leader's opinion and remind the Second Elder?
Just as Kong Wenxuan was having this thought, he saw the clan leader Kong Changgeng, leap up from the foot of the mountain.
"Wenxuan, you've come out of seclusion at just the right time!" The clan chief said with a delighted expression upon seeing Kong Wenxuan.
Upon seeing this, Kong Wenxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Clan leader, has something happened?"
Clan Chief Kong Changgeng nodded, then shook his head, saying, "Nothing's happened yet, but it looks like things are already showing signs of trouble."
"After three years of expansionist wars, the Lineage has conquered more than half of the surrounding thousand-mile radius, during which time they have killed and driven away a large number of Demon Beast and birds."
"However, starting a month ago, some cultivators hired by the Lineage discovered that a large number of Demon Beast and birds were gathering outside the border area of Peacock County that we had designated, and they seemed poised to form Demon Beast tide to attack us."
"These Demon Beast hordes are nothing. As long as there aren't any Third Tier Demon Beast, even if there are many First Tier, second-tier Demon Beast or demonic birds, our Kong Household can wipe them out with our current combat strength. We'll even gain more Demon Beast corpses and demonic materials."
"What I'm really worried about is that these Demon Beast and birds didn't gather for no reason. I'm afraid that behind them are Demon Race, or even cultivators from the Du Household or the Cuckoo Demon Race, directing and controlling all of this, preparing to attack and sabotage our Kong Household's expansionist war."
