âChilde⦠Zhufeng really found the last fragment? Is⦠Is that true?â The entire Divine Dragon imperial family stared at Chen Xiaobei with wide, unblinking eyes.
They did not believe that Chen Xiaobei could be of any help to them at all, and were worried that Chen Xiaobei would not be even able to protect himself if he stayed in the ruin.
Nevertheless, Ling Qingfeng had revealed all of Chen Xiaobeiâs trump cards on his behalf.
Earth-God Spiritual Beast! High-ranking Dragonâs blood! Spirit Immortal Instrument fragment!
These three trump cards bowled the imperial members over.
This was especially true when it came to the Spirit Immortal Instrument fragment! It really could be the key to solving all their problems!
They found it difficult to digest the fact that Chen Xiaobei had found the fragment that they have been searching high and low for.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOf course itâs true! Look for yourselves!â Chen Xiaobei shrugged the stares off as he retrieved the piece of Spirit Immortal Instrument fragment from his Infinite Space Ring.
âItâs real⦠My god⦠Thatâs the last fragmentâ¦â
Gasps echoed throughout the group as everyone set their eyes upon the piece of âscrap metalâ.
âChilde Chen⦠You⦠How did you find this fragment? This is going to be such a big help to us!â The dragon emperorâs voice trembled slightly. He even addressed Chen Xiaobei in the formal âNingâæ¨â (you)!
The rest of the Divine Dragon imperial family members were just as exuberant. The look that they gave Chen Xiaobei was one of respect and admiration.
The fact was, that Chen Xiaobei was able to do what they could not!
Ling Qingfeng answered, âThe vermillion dragon soldiers were selling this fragment at an auction! Zhufeng spent 405.1 million medium-grade Spiritual Stones to buy it! We have to pay him back!â
âFour⦠Four hundred millionâ¦â The divine dragon gasped. âThatâs⦠Four hundred fifty billion and one hundred million low-grade Spiritual Stones⦠We canât produce this many liquid assets in such a short amount of timeâ¦â
In the nine major starfields, that amount of Spiritual Stones was an astronomical number!
Even a tribe as powerful as the Divine Dragons would need a long period to come up with such a huge amount of wealth. They would need to accumulate, and maybe even borrow to be able to meet that amount!
Chen Xiaobei waved them off, âYou donât have to pay me back! I already took it back when I killed the enemy!â
âIâm afraid thatâs not possible!â The Dragon Emperor shook his head. âThatâs two very different things! We have to repay you for what youâve done for us! You got the Spiritual Stones back on your own. We did not help you with that! At the end of the day, we still owe you a big favor!â
The Emperor was a very integrous man. If he owed someone, he would make sure to pay them back! He would never try to take advantage of them!
The rest of the imperial family nodded in agreement.
âWhatever favor it is, letâs save it for later! Right now, we have more important things to address! Chen Xiaobei said. âYour grace, could you please take out the rest of the fragments. Letâs solve the secret of the Spirit Immortal Instrument first!â
âAlright!â The Emperor nodded. âOur tribeâs elder has already found the secret of this Spirit Immortal Instrument in an ancient book! Once we put the Spirit Immortal Instrument together, we will have to make a Divine Dragon blood sacrifice to activate the Special Ability!â
The Emperor took out all the fragments they had found and placed them on a platform he had formed using his green Ethereal Force. He put them together, piece by piece until they began to resemble a crippled sword.
âLet me put in the missing piece!â Chen Xiaobei walked to the platform and put in the final fragment.
With that, a three-foot longsword was assembled.
The fragments were merely put into place and not affixed together. The cracks were not fused together and the fragments were still speckled with rust.
It was a broken sword that had been neglected for many years.
âNext, we need to perform the Divine Dragon blood sacrifice!â The Emperor announced. âAfter that, weâll be able to trigger the Dragon God Ruinâs hidden special ability to defeat the enemy!â
âFather! Let me do itâ¦â
âGrandpa! Let us do itâ¦â
All the members of the imperial family volunteered to offer their blood to the sword.
âNo! I have to be the one to do it!â The Dragon Emperor said. âThe first elder has discovered from ancient books that the purer the blood for the sacrifice, the more powerful its destructive force! If we use an Earth-Godâs Dragon Blood to perform the sacrifice, it could even wield the power of an Earth God!â
No protests were made, and everyone retreated to the side.
The Emperorâs cultivation was the highest amongst them, which means his bloodâs Special Ability was the most powerful. He was clearly the best person for the blood sacrifice.
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei broke the silence. âWhat if we offer Divine Blood to the sword? Could it wield the strength of a god?â
âDivine Blood?â The Dragon Emperor shook his head. âEven if we do have Divine Blood, itâs not possible because our ancestral dragon is only a Spirit Immortal dragon. Also, this sword is only a Spirit Immortal Instrument. Logically speaking, it can, in theory, only wield Spirit Immortal strength!â
âOnly in theory?â Chen Xiaobei questioned. âDoes that mean that it cannot really wield Spirit Immortal strength in practice?â
âYesâ¦â The Emperor nodded. âEven if we offer up a Spirit Immortal dragonâs blood, we would still need a great deal of Spiritual Qi to wield Spirit Immortal strength! According to the ancient books, even if we used up all the Spiritual Qi in the ruin, it may not be able to wield Spirit Immortal strength!â
âOhâ¦â Chen Xiaobei nodded. âI was just curious. In this current situation, weâll just need to wield Three-Star Earth-God strength to be able to wipe out the enemy!â
âThatâs right! The Dragon Emperor nodded. âPlease step back, Childe Chen. I will begin the sacrifice now. We have to eliminate all threats as quickly as possible!â
âMmâ¦â Chen Xiaobei nodded and took a step back.
Zing!
The Dragon Emperor used his sharp ethereal force to cut a deep gash in his palm.
He lifted his hand towards the longsword and squeezed out fresh flood, which then dripped down the broken fragments.
Upon contact, a strange thing began to happen â green smoke sizzled from where the blood contacted the metal.
More blood was dripping and seeping into the cracks of the sword.
Zing!
The fresh blood melded the fragments into a complete piece, and the longsword suddenly let out a piercing sound.
Green light exploded from within, washing the skies and the ground with its deep color!
