Wu Shattered Star River

Two months passed in a flash. The first line of defense in the Land of Eternal Night, the second interface, had been breached.

The Bloodshed Clan had conquered dozens more interfaces, while the Heavenly Court and the God Clan had also taken dozens.

But conquering these interfaces was meaningless. They were all empty, devoid of armies or even a few citizens. It was like occupying a useless wasteland.

Without killing the armies and powerhouses of the Myriad Buddha Hall, occupying these interfaces was of little significance. Taking them was easy, but thoroughly occupying them was difficult.

The Bloodshed Clan and the Heavenly Court God Clan had no choice. They couldn't just drive straight in. If their retreat was cut off, it would be very dangerous.

Of course…

Within the Heavenly Court and the God Clan, many high-level figures proposed that the army should directly penetrate the heart of the Myriad Buddha Hall. This slow, plodding attack was not the way to go. Many powerhouses simply didn't believe the Myriad Buddha Hall could withstand the simultaneous attack of four major forces.

This proposal was rejected by the Jade Emperor and the God Lord. Now that they had sent six Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouses to the Land of Eternal Night, and the Land of Eternal Night could barely hold on, why were they in such a hurry when the Myriad Buddha Hall wasn't?

Because six Heavenly Emperors had been sent, the Land of Eternal Night could now barely hold on. Otherwise, the first line of defense would have been breached long ago.

However, most of the Bodhisattvas of the Myriad Buddha Hall had gone over, so the first line of defense would be breached sooner or later.

Once the first line of defense was breached, most of the interfaces in the Land of Eternal Night would probably be easily taken. The final battle should be in the Heavenly Night Realm.

… …

Underneath Blood Holy Mountain.

"Cracked it!"

Jiang Han opened his eyes today. The last array diagram had been deciphered, but the stone pillar didn't react this time. Because there were no other array diagrams, the stone pillar naturally wouldn't react again or evolve other formations.

At that moment, a voice transmission echoed in Jiang Han's mind. The artifact spirit of the Haotian Stone actually took the initiative to transmit a message to Jiang Han: "Alright, you've won. I'll fulfill my promise and let you leave."

"Wait!"

Jiang Han quickly locked onto the artifact spirit of the Haotian Stone with his soul sense and transmitted a message: "Brother Artifact Spirit, don't you plan to go out? What's the point of staying here all the time? You're so powerful, shouldn't you go out and shake the world with your might? Let the world know your prestige?"

The artifact spirit's response was very cold. It transmitted a message: "I know what you're thinking, but if you want me to submit, you're not good enough. You… are too weak!"

"I'm young!"

Jiang Han quickly transmitted a message: "I'm only a few dozen years old. My current comprehensive combat power is invincible at the Emperor level. Give me a few more decades, and I can easily break through to the Heavenly Emperor cultivation level. Even… give me a few hundred years, and I have a chance to break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm."

"Dao Ancestor? Heh!"

The artifact spirit let out a cold laugh, mockingly saying, "You ignorant child, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you even know what the Dao Ancestor Realm is? You just spout nonsense. Enough nonsense, are you leaving or not? If you're not leaving, then stay here."

Jiang Han was dumbfounded. He had painstakingly deduced for several years, deciphering the thirty-six array diagrams, but he didn't expect that the Haotian Stone's artifact spirit simply looked down on him.

His many years of deduction had been in vain, and the suffering of the past few months had been for nothing.

His mind raced, trying to think of a solution. After pondering for a moment, his heart stirred, and he transmitted a mocking smile: "Haotian Stone, I've heard that you were suppressed by another Primordial Treasure back then, and almost had your main pillar shattered. Since then, you haven't dared to appear in the world. It seems this rumor is true!"

"Bullshit!"

The Haotian Stone immediately transmitted a message: "Where did you hear that rumor? Back then, I fought fiercely with that piece of rotten wood, and it was only a draw. I didn't lose, let alone have my main pillar shattered. If my main pillar had been shattered, would I still be able to talk to you?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Han was overjoyed. He had just casually used a provocative tactic, but he didn't expect it to actually be true?

He quickly transmitted a message: "Now the whole world is spreading rumors that the Haotian Stone is a useless treasure. So many powerhouses from the Bloodshed Clan have wanted to take you out all these years, but you've been hiding here and haven't dared to go out. It seems you're indeed afraid of it."

"But it's understandable… If you dare to go out again and encounter that holy wood, you might be smashed to pieces, with no chance to escape."

Jiang Han paused for a moment, and before the artifact spirit could transmit a message, he transmitted again: "Forget it, help me unlock the shackles and let me leave. I don't want to take you away, this kind of spineless Primordial Treasure. If you encounter that holy wood, you won't even dare to fight and will run away directly, which will kill me."

"Bullshit! Bullshit! You're talking bullshit!"

The Haotian Stone's artifact spirit became agitated. As it became agitated, all the stone pillars trembled violently. Then, the ground shook and the mountains swayed, and many stone pillars soared into the sky, along with the imprisoned prisoners flying all over the sky…

"What's going on?"

All the prisoners were frightened. The Bloodshed Clan King-level expert was stunned, while the Heavenly Demon's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked at Jiang Han, thinking that he had succeeded.

"咻!"

The Bloodshed Clan King-level expert flashed and rushed upwards, going to report to King Rongtian.

Jiang Han was overjoyed when he saw the artifact spirit going crazy.

Most artifact spirits have intelligence, but their intelligence is generally not high, like a child, and it's easy to coax them.

Jiang Han had deciphered the thirty-six array diagrams and had actually gained the Haotian Stone's initial approval, but his realm was too low, and the artifact spirit was unconvinced. Since it was unconvinced, the possibility of refining it was very low.

So Jiang Han used a provocative tactic. Now that the Haotian Stone's artifact spirit was going crazy, it was an opportunity for Jiang Han.

Jiang Han transmitted a message again: "Don't roar, if you have the ability, go out and clash with it. It's now the number one treasure in the myriad worlds, with a resounding reputation."

"Any spiritual treasure is insignificant in front of it. If you have the ability to smash it, then you will be the number one spiritual treasure in the world."

"You don't dare? You can only roar uselessly here, you can't do anything. You can't avenge, you can only stay in this gutter for the rest of your life."

"Roar, continue to roar, hurry up and release me, I'll leave immediately, and you continue to stay in this gutter for the rest of your life."

"Waste, waste, now even if you want me to refine you, I don't want you anymore, you're just a useless treasure!"

Jiang Han's words became more and more unpleasant, and the Haotian Stone's artifact spirit became more and more agitated. All one hundred and nine stone pillars flew up, and Jiang Han was even taken into the air.

The artifact spirit's voice echoed in Jiang Han's mind: "It's useless for you to provoke me, the reason why I'm unwilling to be refined by cultivators is because no cultivator is a match for the master of that piece of rotten wood."

"What's the point of me going out with you? If I encounter the master of that piece of rotten wood, he can kill you with one palm. How can I resist?"

"Oh?"

Jiang Han was overjoyed and quickly began to draw a pie, transmitting a message: "I told you, I'm very young and have unlimited possibilities. I'm now cultivating the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique, and I've already cultivated more than half of it."

"When I cultivate to the ninth revolution, I'll be infinitely close to the Dao Ancestor Realm. Even if the master of that piece of rotten wood is at the Dao Ancestor Realm, I'll have a chance to defeat him in the future."

The artifact spirit was silent for a moment, and then a voice that made Jiang Han ecstatic came: "I can go out with you, but if you don't cultivate to the Dao Ancestor Realm within a thousand years, I will leave. If one day you can set foot in the Dao Ancestor Realm, you must help me smash that piece of rotten wood."

Jiang Han suppressed the joy in his heart and calmly transmitted a message: "Okay! Why a thousand years? Five hundred years is enough!"
