This small pagoda exhibited seven colors.
The phosphorescent light flowed, appearing like a supreme treasure in the night, mesmerizing anyone who saw it.
However.
Ling Zhan, who had been smiling, suddenly became serious.
Instead of a smile, his face was now solemn.
A sacred artifact!!
This small pagoda, flowing with seven-colored phosphorescence, was actually a sacred artifact!!
The Night Empress finally put away her contempt and became cautious.
She knew that if she continued to pull out weapons to fight this human, the result would be them being confiscated by him again.
Moreover...
She had to reluctantly admit that in terms of combat skills, she was hundreds of streets behind this human!!
During the battle.
Her attacks, psychological activities, facial expressions...
As if all her actions were anticipated by the other party.
Just based on this terrifying combat intuition, the Night Empress concluded that within the entire Demon Arrival organization, under the premise of suppressing power and not using any skills,
perhaps only the crazed Martial God could match him in battle!
Too terrifying!
Such a young kid already possessed combat experience comparable to those old geezers.
Where on earth did he hone his skills?
Thinking of this,
her resolve to kidnap this kid back became even stronger.
She couldn't let this kid slip out of control!
Although she didn't have any loyalty to the Demon Arrival organization,
at her level of strength, even the leader of the Demon Arrival organization couldn't effectively restrain her.
But she absolutely didn't want to let this terrifying kid grow up!
Moreover.
She had been bored and lonely for a century, and having such an interesting plaything to accompany her should bring a bit of joy to her otherwise dull life.
At the very least...
First, she would severely torture this kid, letting him know the dire consequences of daring to insult the Night Empress!
Thinking of this.
Andrea did not hesitate at all.
She directly activated the sacred artifact in her hand!
The 'Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda'!
This sacred artifact was seized by the Demon Arrival organization after five fourth-tier powerhouses besieged a grand master from the Demon Subduing Cave.
As everyone knows.
The highest grade for ordinary equipment is gold.
Because in this world, the highest level of equipment that talents of various races can create is gold grade.
Above gold grade,
there are three additional tiers for equipment.
From low to high, they are: Spirit Artifact, Sacred Artifact, and Nameless Sovereign Artifact.
It is worth mentioning that
Spirit Artifacts and Sacred Artifacts cannot be created by talents of various races.
Spirit Artifacts are imbued with the spirituality of heaven and earth, already possessing self-awareness, and they have their own innate skills without the need for enchantments.
You can even consider Spirit Artifacts as unique living beings.
Sacred Artifacts are even more special.
It is said that not only do they possess self-awareness, but they can also cultivate and enhance their grade on their own, making them extremely unique and possessing earth-shattering power.
The Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda before him, although flowing with seven-colored phosphorescence, was not difficult to see that the pagoda's body was covered with demonic runes, likely some sort of seal from the Demon Arrival side to suppress the artifact's spirit.
Suppressing the artifact's spirit essentially means suppressing 60% of its power.
But this also allows everyone to easily control it.
As for the 'Nameless Sovereign Artifact'...
It is so named because it has only appeared once.
It was the katana held by the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts.
It is said that when the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts led the procession of a hundred ghosts through the Fusang Kingdom, he once unsheathed his sword.
At the moment when the ghost lord drew his sword,
the earth shook, and lightning flashed with thunder.
In the surrounding countries, centered on the Fusang Kingdom, various natural disasters of considerable magnitude occurred.
It was as if even the heavens were enraged by the ghost lord's arbitrary sword-drawing.
That seemingly casual slash
turned half of the Fusang Kingdom into ruins, with countless people becoming casualties under the blade.
The surviving people of the Fusang Kingdom who were fortunate enough to escape the blade still recall the event with shattered minds and immense terror.
Because of this,
the people of the Fusang Kingdom gave this katana a name: Totsuka no Tsurugi.
Whether this is its true name can only be confirmed if the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts comes out to explain it...
Of course...
Internationally, all races have classified this Totsuka no Tsurugi as a 'Sovereign Artifact,' placing it above Sacred Artifacts.
This means 'having it allows one to dominate all things and all worlds.'
The prefix 'Nameless' is simply because the true name is unknown.
There are also speculations among the strong of various countries.
If even the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts has his own Sovereign Artifact,
then what about the other three forbidden land lords?
Surely, they must also possess an artifact capable of destroying heaven and earth, right?
....
At this moment,
when Andrea took out this Sacred Artifact,
Ling Zhan's originally relaxed expression finally became serious.
This damn woman really doesn't play fair and can't afford to lose.
Unable to win, she immediately pulls out a Sacred Artifact.
And it's the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda!
In the ancient texts Ling Zhan had read, there were naturally descriptions of this Sacred Artifact.
It was a Sacred Artifact from the Maoshan Demon Subduing Cave.
Usually kept and controlled by the most powerful fourth-tier grand master of each generation.
As for the description of the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda's functions and powers,
it was extremely simple.
[Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda (Sacred Artifact): Can subdue all things.]
The simpler the description, the more formidable the power.
The reason it fell into the hands of the Demon Arrival organization.
Was because of the great commotion caused by the descent of the Demon Cave several decades ago.
Most of the strong figures from the Maoshan Demon Subduing Cave had descended the mountain to assist people all over the place.
At that time,
the Demon Arrival organization took advantage of the situation. The demon lord led the other four top-level fourth-tier powerhouses in a sneak attack on the Maoshan Demon Subduing Cave, with the Night Empress among them.
They jointly besieged the grand master who was sitting alone in the Maoshan Demon Subduing Cave.
That battle,
resulted in the loss of the physical bodies of one war god and one magic god from the Demon Arrival organization, in exchange for forcibly seizing the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda, this Sacred Artifact.
That Maoshan grand master was named 'Zhao Gongming,' hailed by the outside world as the strongest grand master in the history of Maoshan.
Facts proved that this praise was well-deserved.
With his own strength, he withstood the attack of five top-level fourth-tier powerhouses and even killed the physical bodies of the war god and magic god.
However, he couldn't overcome the prepared assault of the Demon Arrival organization.
Although Zhao Gongming was unharmed, the Sacred Artifact was taken.
It was from that incident that the Demon Arrival organization became famous.
Simultaneously, the various secretive evil deeds of the Demon Arrival organization were revealed to the public.
Now,
despite the Sacred Artifact's spirit being sealed, its power was still not something Ling Zhan could contend with.
Moreover...
Ling Zhan was currently in a state of 'Absolute Fairness.'
He couldn't use the skill 'Explosive Clothing Technique.'
Even if he could use it, he might be suppressed by the Sacred Artifact before he could touch the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda.
Furthermore... although Andrea couldn't benefit from the Sacred Artifact's attributes due to 'Absolute Fairness,'
the suppressive power of the Sacred Artifact still remained!
This is the supreme power unique to Sacred Artifacts!
Not counted within the range of weapon skills!
A desperate situation.
An utterly desperate situation.
The absolute advantage brought by the Sacred Artifact left Ling Zhan completely helpless.
It seemed that this time he was really going to lose...
When Andrea saw Ling Zhan's somewhat helpless expression,
she couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
She should have used this trump card from the beginning!
Of course.
If word got out that the dignified Night Empress, a level 100 fourth-tier powerhouse, had to use a Sacred Artifact to deal with a level 22 non-specialist,
that would indeed be shameful.
However.
Andrea might not know, but there is a saying in the Dragon Kingdom.
It is called 'extreme joy begets sorrow.'
Often, when you are at the peak of your joy and pride, a tragic event will occur.
So...
Just as Andrea was about to activate the Sacred Artifact to suppress Ling Zhan,
Buzz!!
Between heaven and earth,
a sudden surge of sword energy!!
