Lin Jiufeng, who was targeted by dozens of auras, didn’t dare to act rashly at this moment.
He was indeed very powerful now, but he wasn’t powerful enough to fight one against ten.
Moreover, these ten were all peak Immortal Emperors.
Lin Jiufeng could fight against two to three now, but he wasn’t a match for ten.
Even if he activated his Crystal Divine Kingdom at full force and gathered the strength of several Epochs to resist ten peak Immortal Emperors, he still had no chance of winning.
“These should be the weapons that you got to know in the Weapon Armory Valley back then. Even if you guys didn’t have a good relationship back then, it’s already been so many years. Just talk to them nicely and try to patch up.” Lin Jiufeng asked the General Appointing Platform to speak to them.
“This…” The General Appointing Platform seemed to have something difficult to say.
“You are asking him to beg us? That’ll be a rare sight.” A woman’s voice sounded in the surroundings. It was ethereal and unstable. Her voice was crisp, like the sound of spring water ringing.
“The General Appointing Platform that instilled fear in the Weapon Armory Valley back then actually became a weapon in the hands of humans. It’s really laughable.” A deep voice sounded with a trace of ridicule.
“The General Appointing Platform back then wasn’t as weak as he is now. He bullied the people in the Weapon Armory Valley with his power back then. I’m afraid that 100 books won’t be enough to write the deeds that he had done.” At the foot of the distant mountain, a huge creature looked down at Lin Jiufeng and the General Appointing Platform, emitting rumbling thunder.
After that, mocking sounds constantly came from all directions. One after another, they mocked the General Appointing Platform.
As Lin Jiufeng listened, he knew that there was no way to resolve this matter today. He looked at the General Appointing Platform and asked, “Do you still remember these things now?”
After the General Appointing Platform fell silent, he didn’t answer Lin Jiufeng. Instead, he looked around.
“What you guys are talking about are the things that happened tens of thousands of years ago. A person must look forward and not keep recalling the past. Everyone will change,” the General Appointing Platform said seriously.
“A person has to look forward?” The huge creature hidden at the edge of the foot of the mountain flew into a rage and directly walked out. Every step shook the ground.
After walking out, Lin Jiufeng saw that his true form was actually a huge Black Tortoise.
The huge Eight Trigrams pattern printed on its shell had long been covered in dust, but its former appearance could still be vaguely seen.
He was very angry. He glared at the General Appointing Platform and roared, “Back then, when you were abusing your power, why didn’t you say that people would change?”
As soon as these words came out, the auras of the dozens of weapons in the surroundings changed. Anger surged as they stared at the General Appointing Platform and Immortal Emperor Lin.
“What exactly did you do back then?” Lin Jiufeng gritted his teeth and asked softly.
Why did he feel that the General Appointing Platform back then was like the biggest villain in the Weapon Armory Valley?
“Nothing much. You know that I’m into research.” The General Appointing Platform defended himself.
“Nothing much?” The huge Black Tortoise laughed angrily.
“Back then, in order to study the evolution of magic treasures, you dismantled me from the inside out, imprisoned me, and hung me on the array formation for a total of 3,600 years.”
“Back then, because of the unique feature of the Spatial Slashing Sword, you captured the source energy that was born from it and studied it carefully. You washed it from the inside out.”
“Back then, you infiltrated the territory of the Chaos Heavens Banner and took away the pair of children it gave birth to. You directly studied them and in the end, the pair of children, unfortunately, died young.”
…
“The bad deeds that you did back then were countless. Fortunately, when you left, you took away all the people who followed you. Otherwise, we would have long been cleaned up by them over the years.” The angry weapons and magic treasure said seven or eight things about the General Appointing Platform from the past.
“You did all of this?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the General Appointing Platform. He didn’t expect the General Appointing Platform to be so infamous in the Weapon Armory Valley back then.
“I need targets for my research, right? I’m also doing this for the sake of the evolution of my weapons and for the sake of the vast number of magic treasures and weapons, right? A few have to be sacrificed, it can’t be helped,” the General Appointing Platform explained diffidently.
“Bullsh*t. Then why didn’t you use your own subordinates to carry out your research? Why did you specifically target us?” The female voice was no longer sweet. She gritted her teeth and said.
She was the soul of the Spatial Slashing Sword.
Back then, she was thoroughly studied by the General Appointing Platform from the inside out. Although it didn’t damage her much, it was a great humiliation for a magic treasure that had developed its own consciousness and had differentiated between men and women.
“The Spatial Slashing Sword is so beautiful, generous, and noble. She’s a rare woman among all the top magic treasures, and she’s also a top beauty. You actually imprisoned her and studied her thoroughly inside and outside. She’s my goddess! You’re really a human scumbag. No, a weapon scumbag,” the huge Black Tortoise said angrily.
Black Tortoise’s words made the Spatial Slashing Sword’s expression turn cold. She said coldly, “I will return all the humiliation you brought me back then to you today.”
The Spatial Slashing Sword also walked out of the shadows and transformed into a tall woman. Her skin was snow-white, and her black hair was like a waterfall. She held a mysterious sword and wore a veil. She waved the sword light with incomparable sharpness.
The weapons hidden in the dark also appeared one by one.
There was a war spear that seemed to be from the ancient era that was held by a figure that lingered in the primal chaos. It walked out and said with an incomparably cold voice, “Back then, I had just entered the Weapon Armory Valley and was still at a young stage. I had just developed my own consciousness when you deceived me. You didn’t pay any price and studied me clearly. This is the greatest humiliation in my life. Now, I want you to pay with your blood.”
“You lousy spear. Back then, when you entered the Weapon Armory Valley, wasn’t it me who brought you through the difficult times in the beginning? Without my protection, you would have long been led astray by other weapons. You, who has just entered the Weapon Armory Valley and gained sentience, how can you be a match for those old foxes?” The General Appointing Platform said in exasperation.
“In terms of wily old foxes, who in the entire Weapon Armory Valley can compare to you? After he entered the Weapon Armory, the most unlucky thing he encountered was you.” The incomparably huge Black Tortoise laughed from the bottom of its heart.
The Primal Chaos War Spear was very angry. It stared at the General Appointing Platform and the Black Tortoise and shouted, “Why mention the past? Just kill him now.”
The peerless woman holding the Spatial Slashing Sword replied coldly, “I agree.”
The other weapons nodded in succession. When they recalled what the General Appointing Platform had done to them back then, they gnashed their teeth. They viewed it as a lifelong humiliation. Today, they wanted to take revenge.
The huge Black Tortoise, which was like a small mountain, said at this moment in schadenfreude, “This is what you get for your past actions. Back then, because of your power, you acted without any scruples. Now that you have been weakened, it’s your biggest mistake to enter the Weapon Armory Valley today.”
When Lin Jiufeng saw this scene, he immediately shouted, “You guys have known each other for tens of thousands of years. You’re all friends, after all. Some of the conflicts in the past can slowly dissipate with time. Everyone, as guests who have come from afar, as the masters of the Weapon Armory Valley, shouldn’t you all do your part as the host? Don’t fight and kill, everyone must love peace and harmony.”
“Humans have no right to speak in the Weapon Armory Valley!” The huge Black Tortoise roared.
“Damn Eight Trigrams, don’t think that you are very amazing now. If you force me, I will study you from the inside out again.” The General Appointing Platform also started to act viciously.
“What a joke. What right do you have to fight me now? Can you even fight me in your current state?” The huge Black Tortoise stared at the General Appointing Platform that was in a weak state. The only thing it was afraid of was the blood of the supreme powerhouse on the General Appointing Platform.
But now, there were more than ten peak Immortal Emperor weapons here. It disdained the words of the General Appointing Platform.
The General Appointing Platform shouted angrily, “Although I studied you guys thoroughly back then, I also gave you guys benefits. Without the means that I set up for you guys back then, can you give birth to your own intelligence one by one and evolve into true living beings to escape the shackles of the cold weapons?”
“That’s right. In order to repay you, I’ll let you see what exactly you did right back then.” The Primal Chaos War Spear attacked directly without hesitation.
Rumble!
The Primal Chaos War Spear directly struck, causing the entire sky and earth in the Weapon Armory Valley to shatter. Everything in the sky was frozen, and time and space were collapsing, turning into primal chaos. Its greatest killing move was hidden in this strike.
Terrifying energy surged into the General Appointing Platform and Immortal Emperor Lin.
“Dao of the Epoch!”
Without hesitation, Lin Jiufeng once again executed the Great Epoch Technique that he had comprehended and protected the General Appointing Platform behind him.
The true combat power of the General Appointing Platform wasn’t much. It had suffered too serious an injury. Previously, it had relied on the drop of blood of the supreme powerhouses on him, but the blood of the supreme powerhouses couldn’t be used indefinitely.
Hence, Lin Jiufeng, the owner, had to come out and bear all of this.
Boom!!!
This strike of the Primal Chaos War Spear was extremely powerful. As a peak Immortal Emperor, facing the General Appointing Platform that had once humiliated him, it attacked angrily. Naturally, it used its full strength.
But it was alone. Facing just one enemy now, Lin Jiufeng still seemed to be strolling leisurely and carefree.
He pressed down with one hand in the air. The jumping primal chaos in the sky directly exploded, shattered by his Dao of the Epoch. Then, Lin Jiufeng clenched his large palm and absorbed all of the primal chaos into his palm. With a backhand push, he slowly suppressed it.
The Epoch was in his palm.
The power was trapped within a small area.
Lin Jiufeng directly struck the Primal Chaos War Spear, causing the entangled primal chaos in its condensed phantom to instantly collapse. Its consciousness even exploded, causing the Primal Chaos War Spear to roar continuously. It was sent flying for tens of miles and collided with a huge mountain.
The mountain directly turned into dust and disappeared into the Weapon Armory Valley.
This sudden change stunned the other weapons.
“From your aura, it seems that you have only just entered the Immortal Emperor Realm. You actually sent the Primal Chaos War Spear flying with one palm?” The mysterious young woman holding the Spatial Slashing Sword stared at Lin Jiufeng in disbelief. Previously, most of her attention was on the General Appointing Platform. After all, Lin Jiufeng had just entered the Immortal Emperor Realm. The gap between him and them was still very obvious. It wasn’t worth taking him seriously.
But now, Lin Jiufeng completely surprised them.
Black Tortoise’s expression changed. It knew that the situation was bad.
“This human is very strange. None of us is his match. Everyone, attack together and suppress them.” The Black Tortoise roared and directly attacked.
“Damn Eight Trigrams. You started a group fight just because you couldn’t defeat my Master alone.” The General Appointing Platform cursed indignantly.
“As long as I can shatter you here today, it doesn’t matter if it’s one-on-one or all-on-one,” Black Tortoise said coldly.
“Dream on. If you want to shatter me, wait another 100,000 years.” The General Appointing Platform scolded angrily.
But the Black Tortoise had already started its attack.
Boom!
Behind it, the eight trigrams painting suddenly shone. It directly reflected in the sky in the very next moment. A huge eight trigrams array formation appeared above the Weapon Armory Valley, flickering with a dazzling light. With a rumbling sound, it directly covered the surroundings of the world.
“I’ve already used my main body’s array formation to seal this place. You can’t go anywhere else in this place.” The Black Tortoise’s voice rumbled like thunder.
The faces of Lin Jiufeng and the General Appointing Platform changed slightly. If they were trapped here, they would have to fight one against ten. It would be very hard to do so.
“Is there any way to escape?” Lin Jiufeng asked the General Appointing Platform.
“Damn Eight Trigrams. The array formation that he set up belongs to his main body. The array formation was born with it and has the ability to seal the world. Even peak Immortal Emperors are unable to tear this array formation apart and escape, so there’s no way to escape,” the General Appointing Platform said angrily.
“Since we can’t escape, then we can only fight!” Lin Jiufeng took a deep breath. In this situation, it was impossible not to fight.
No matter if he could win or not, he would fight first.
At this moment, Lin Jiufeng used his heaven’s will to mobilize the Crystal Divine Kingdom in his body. Each cell seemed to be like a small world that was constantly being activated, supplying him with endless energy.
Clang! Clang! Clang!!
At this moment, the Spatial Slashing Sword began to move.
The mysterious woman held the main body sword. A sword light that was incomparably cold and filled with cold killing intent shook the sky. It erupted with a peerlessly sharp light that headed straight for Lin Jiufeng’s throat.
The mysterious woman holding the Space Slashing Sword not only had a pleasant voice that was like the sound of nature, but her attitude was also abnormally elegant. When she struck with the sword, she was elegant and heavenly, revealing an otherworldly temperament.
But at this moment, Lin Jiufeng wasn’t in the mood to admire this kind of intelligence and beauty. He felt an invisible pressure. Although it didn’t carry any other power or any terrifying spiritual consciousness impact, the pressure brought by this sword energy directly made Lin Jiufeng execute a shocking strike with a serious expression.
“Great Epoch Divine Fist!”
The Epoch integrated everything. The Great Epoch Divine Fist also integrated the magic treasure in Lin Jiufeng’s body.
The Light of the Homes, the Sword of the Holy Church, the Immortal Slaying Sword, and the General Appointing Platform were all protected by Lin Jiufeng’s power at this moment. They were all fused together, transforming into a surging strike that directly struck the sword energy slashed out by the Spatial Slashing Sword.
Crack!
This sword energy instantly disappeared.
It still couldn’t resist the Great Epoch Divine Fist.
“You are indeed very powerful, all of this is beyond my expectations, but you are alone. The General Appointing Platform is now useless. You can’t resist us all.” A pagoda that was hidden in the dark suddenly rushed out and directly collided with Lin Jiufeng’s body.
Boom!
At this moment, a world-shaking sound was transmitted. This pagoda had nine layers of infinite power. At this moment, it collided with Lin Jiufeng’s body with all its might, directly shattering his body into pieces. A mushroom cloud rose on his body, exploding everywhere. If it weren’t for the Black Tortoise’s array formation protecting the surroundings, most of the Weapon Armory Valley would have been destroyed.
“You succeeded?” Black Tortoise was overjoyed.
But in the very next moment, its eyes widened as it looked in disbelief at the place where the huge explosion happened.
The other peak Immortal Emperor weapons watched in disbelief as well.
At this moment, Lin Jiufeng, who had suffered a huge explosion from the collision of the mysterious pagoda, actually appeared in the same spot unscathed. Golden light flickered all over his body, and his skin was transparent. The blood and flesh inside him transformed into crystal after crystal that combined together, emitting endless power that allowed Lin Jiufeng to recover instantly.
At this moment, the standing Lin Jiufeng was simply an invincible body. His upright spine was like a mountain that stood between heaven and earth, eternal.
“You guys can’t kill me.” Lin Jiufeng took a deep breath and said coldly.
But he was also secretly afraid. That mysterious pagoda had hidden too well just now. It suddenly collided with him, catching him off guard. If it weren’t for the fact that he had completed the evolution of his body to the Crystal Divine Kingdom previously, he would already be seriously injured.
Lin Jiufeng’s divine soul communicated with the General Appointing Platform. “You have to hurry up and think of a solution. I can’t withstand their attacks alone for long. Although they can’t kill me, I’ll lose a portion of my strength every time I die. After dying ten plus or a hundred times, my Immortal Emperor Realm might become unstable.”
Although they couldn’t kill Lin Jiufeng, he still couldn’t defeat these dozens of terrifying peak Immortal Emperors.
“Turtle Armor!”
“Although the Black Tortoise has sealed this place, there’s a huge creature sleeping not far ahead. His strength is incomparably terrifying. He was once one of the Kings of the Weapon Armory Valley. As long as we go over and wake him up, the Black Tortoise and the others won’t dare to attack again.” The General Appointing Platform thought of a good solution and said excitedly.
“Alright, I will bring you in the direction of this Turtle Armor.” Lin Jiufeng immediately agreed..
