Invincible Dad-Chapter 794: Announce Your Name, Visitor! _1

Chapter 794: Chapter 794: Announce Your Name, Visitor! _1

Artifact Refining has ten grades. Immortal Artifacts belong to the Ninth Grade.

To forge an Immortal Artifact, a Ninth-Grade Artifact Refiner must use Immortal-grade spiritual materials, consume a vast quantity of Immortal-grade Spirit Stones, and spend an immense amount of time to succeed. Furthermore, condensing a perfect Artifact Spirit requires an even longer period of ritualistic tempering. Ordinary Artifact Spirits come in all sorts of strange forms, but without exception, the top-tier ones can all assume a human form.

The Artifact Spirit before him could actually use a Time Stasis Ability. It was so powerful that it would drive the great Holy Lands and Tao Lineages of the Immortal Domain mad with desire.

"Leave now, and all will be forgiven. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

The woman in the long dress spoke, her voice still ethereal. As she stepped forward, she left behind distinctly separate footprints of black and white.

"Heh."

Ji Huanghun chuckled with disdain. If his Boundary had been any lower, he might have actually been intimidated.

If you truly had the power to kill me, you wouldn’t be advising me to leave; you would have attacked directly. That Human Race woman hasn’t fully refined the Formation Chessboard treasure, has she? And you, you can’t use your full strength either. But even so, you can still stop time... perfect... it’s just too perfect, hahahahaha!

Ji Huanghun couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

"..."

The Artifact Spirit of the Formation Chessboard remained silent, which was a clear admission.

This made Ji Huanghun even more excited. A supreme Immortal Artifact that hadn’t fully acknowledged a master—if he could control it perfectly, he would have the power to challenge even the prodigies of his clan’s Seed Sequence.

What of the Seed Sequence? I’ll still knock them all flat!

Ji Huanghun looked down on her and said, "Abandon her and follow me. I will ensure your name is known throughout the Immortal Domain!"

The Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth, her smile three parts bright and three parts contemptuous.

Make a name for myself in the Immortal Domain? She could have done that dozens of eras ago. The great Starlight Killing Formation that had shaken the Immortal Domain for dozens of eras was laid by the ancestor of the Star Origin Sect using her. If it weren’t for that old fool losing his head and following that peerless Empress to his doom—causing the Star Origin Sect to vanish quickly into the river of time—that great defensive Starlight Array would not have remained unknown. Otherwise, the Array Path in the Immortal Domain wouldn’t be so dull. Dozens of Great Emperors passed like flowing water; only that Xu Qingfeng’s Way of Formation was decent enough to contend with that old codger from back then.

And now, Ruan Lan was the person who most resembled that man. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The more the Artifact Spirit thought, the more she couldn’t suppress her grin. This little one before her was truly adorable.

"What are you laughing at?" Ji Huanghun furrowed his brows, feeling offended by her smile.

"I’m not laughing at you."

"You clearly are."

"Young man, do you understand formations?"

"What a coincidence. Among the nine Royal Clans that serve the Nine Kings’ Palace, my attainments in the Array Path are number one!"

"Then in the current Immortal Domain, can you rank in the top three?"

"..."

Ji Huanghun was stunned. Never mind Great Emperor Qingfeng, who created the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation, or the Quasi-Emperor Baize, who achieved sainthood in both the Game of Go Path and the Array Path. Even among the Royal Clans, more than three elders of the older generation surpassed him. But even so, he was confident he would surpass these old powerhouses in the future.

Ji Huanghun mused, "I may not be there now, but my future is promising. There will definitely be a place for me among the top one hundred Formation Masters of the Immortal Domain’s future."

"Ruan Lan... she’s someone who will one day stand on Xu Qingfeng’s shoulders and gaze out upon a much vaster world."

"She can’t even control me yet."

"Are *you* worthy?"

These three sentences struck heavy blows against Ji Huanghun’s pride. He sneered, "Ridiculous! You were given a chance and you threw it away. Today, I will take the chessboard. Then I’ll have the elders of my clan erase your Divine Sense and forge a new Artifact Spirit!"

"Hah. Go for it." The Artifact Spirit yawned, a charming smile on her face. "Oh, and one more thing. Your granny here isn’t an Immortal Artifact. I’m an Emperor Artifact embryo."

"???"

Ji Huanghun’s pupils contracted rapidly. What did he just hear? An unclaimed Emperor Artifact embryo?

Emperor Artifacts could only be forged by those in the Emperor Realm. Most Emperors could only manage to create one in their lifetime; after all, Divine Metal was incredibly difficult to find. And Emperor Artifacts had spirits. When an Emperor fell, most Artifact Spirits would choose to follow their masters into oblivion. As a result, the Divine Metal that should have been immortal would slowly lose its essence and turn into a pile of scrap iron.

Today, the named Emperor Artifacts in the Immortal Domain could be counted on one’s fingers. Nearly all were left behind by Great Emperors in their clans or Tao Lineages to protect future generations. Even so, Emperor Artifacts remained loyal only to their Great Emperor, unwavering until death. An unclaimed Emperor Artifact embryo was simply a fortune of the highest order sent from the heavens!

What is a child of destiny? That would be me!

Ji Huanghun was so excited his whole body trembled. His gaze on the Artifact Spirit was no longer one of greed or ardor, but an excitement so intense it was hard to look at.

"Disgusting." The Artifact Spirit looked at him with disdain, then dissolved into a wisp of smoke and vanished as the Time Stasis Domain crumbled away.

"I WILL HAVE YOU!!!"

Ji Huanghun’s roar shook the very stars, causing the battling forces of the Human Race and the Moon Clan to turn and look.

Ruan Lan was frightened out of her wits. She subconsciously spun around and saw a green spear alarmingly close to the back of her head, forcing her to dodge frantically to the side. But the spear didn’t explode. Instead, it bizarrely melted into the void, as did the red spear that had been aimed at Xu Yiyi.

Having narrowly escaped disaster, Ruan Lan glared angrily toward the source. Through a rift in the broken walls of Chang’an City, a man carrying a wooden box containing three spears on his back was walking toward her step by step.

"Ruan Lan! Hand over the chessboard, and I shall spare your life!"

"Stop him!"

"Don’t let him get near Ruan Lan! Hurry!"

"..."

Chen Feihe, an Elder of the Yunxiao Sect, bellowed furiously. He was being held back by a Nascent Soul expert from the Moon Clan and couldn’t rush to Ruan Lan’s aid; he could only shout for his fellow cultivators.

However, a despairing situation unfolded. An invisible barrier of Spiritual Energy seemed to surround the mysterious young man. Whether they were at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul realm, no one could get within a hundred feet of him. They couldn’t even slow his advance by a single step.

A heavy weight settled in Chen Feihe’s heart. Ruan Lan’s brows furrowed fiercely as she realized this man’s Boundary was absurdly high. She clutched the Formation Chessboard in her hands, her heart pounding with tension, and she couldn’t help but shout to bolster her own courage, "I am Ruan Lan, the current Sect Hierarch of the Star Origin Sect! State your name, newcomer!"

"Star Origin... Sect?"

Ji Huanghun paused, a broad grin uncontrollably spreading across his face. So it was that formation sect that had vanished into the river of history. To think it still had a surviving lineage. No wonder Ruan Lan’s formations were so exquisite, forcing that disappointing collateral bloodline of the Ji Family to call for help. A pity, though. The Star Origin Sect, once feared throughout the Immortal Domain for its Killing Formation, now has a Sect Hierarch this pitifully weak.

"I am Ji Huanghun of the Royal Ji Family," he announced, looking down from on high. "Hand over the chessboard, and you will have the privilege of serving me as my maid."
