Overriding the Heaven

A Dao Artifact was a magical equipment that was a stage higher than a Spirit Treasure.    

For example, the difference between celestial mood stage and Earth Origin Stage.    

However, the power of a Dao weapon was enormous. The amount of spiritual energy required to use it was far greater than one would imagine.    

It was very difficult for an ordinary celestial mood stage cultivator to activate a Dao Artifact by himself.    

If one wanted to activate a Dao Artifact during the celestial mood stage period, there would usually be a lot of people involved.    

In addition, Dao artifacts were exceptionally rare.    

At that time in the Yunao Kingdom, there were only two Dao Artifacts.    

Even the Shattered Star Pavilion that Chu Yan came from did not have a Dao Artifact at the beginning.    

At that time, the clan guarding treasure, the Heavenly Note Star Fragment Sword, was a ninth grade spirit artifact.    

After that, Chu Yan fought for the first position of the Orthodoxy in the history of the sect for the Shattered Star Pavilion.    

And now, Chu Yan was wearing a half-step Dao Artifact.    

The power of a half-step Dao weapon was inferior to a true Dao weapon.    

However, compared to a grade nine spirit weapon, it was much larger.    

And most importantly, the usage of a half step Dao Artifact did not require many celestial mood stage Cultivators, just one person would be enough.    

It could be said that in the celestial mood stage realm, a half-step Dao Artifact was like a monster.    

Furthermore, due to the fact that refining was not easy, half-step Dao artifacts were often even rarer than Dao artifacts and spiritual items.    

Now, Chu Yan had one in his possession.    

According to the facts, if Chu Yan were to return to Yunao Kingdom now, the magical equipment named Sky Execution in his hands would already surpass three sects.    

That was because none of the three sects had magical equipment that surpassed the ninth level of spiritual equipment.    

With the Sky Execution, Chu Yan's strength could be said to have increased significantly.    

After calming down a bit, Chu Yan sent out a sliver of his soul consciousness and entered the Heaven's Punishment.    

He soon discovered that there were eight small spaces within the Heaven's Punishment.    

These eight small spaces weren't storage spaces. They were more like the storage spaces for other magical equipment.    

Looking at the eight small spaces, Chu Yan suddenly had an idea.    

With another wave of his arm, the eight Spirit Treasure that he had obtained from Ji Fengtang's treasury floated in front of Chu Yan.    

White Emperor's Prison Breaking Sword.    

The Wanton Longevity Sword.    

Black Soul Divine Sword.    

Lava Sword Rushing to the Sky.    

The Ten Thousand Mountains Crossing Sword.    

Moon-Devouring Sword.    

The Divine Light Seizing Sun Sword.    

The Vast Sky Shattering Sword.    

If these eight flying swords appeared at the same time, they would often shine with a boundless light, and their killing intent would be oppressing to the extreme.    

However, with the Heaven Punisher in front of them, these eight flying swords seemed to have seen a cat, hovering in the air and appearing exceptionally obedient.    

Chu Yan looked at Sky Execution and then looked at the eight flying swords. He felt this was a little interesting.    

It seemed that the magical equipment of the Spirit Treasure level already possessed a low level of intelligence.    

Although they did not have their own thoughts, when facing their own kind that was far stronger than them, it was only instinct to fear and submit to them.    

At this moment, Chu Yan grabbed at the eight flying swords with the Heaven's Punishment technique.    

The eight flying swords turned into eight rays of light and entered the heaven's punishment ring.    

When Chu Yan looked again with his divine sense, the eight flying swords were all firmly in each space.    

At the same time, the eight flying swords were also quickly refined.    

Immediately, Chu Yan felt that his attention was focused on the eight flying swords.    

Those eight flying swords were no longer magical items that he had control over; they had become a part of his consciousness, an extension of his fingers.    

With a thought from Chu Yan, the White Emperor Prison Breaking Sword immediately flew out of the glove and circled above Chu Yan's head before returning to the Heaven's Punishment space.    

The same was true for the other flying swords.    

They didn't need Chu Yan to hold it in his hand and use it with spiritual energy. As long as Chu Yan willed it, they would immediately do as Chu Yan thought.    

Compared to before, it was more nimble and powerful.    

"When mother first entered the celestial mood stage, she prepared this treasure, which really made me look like a tiger with wings." Chu Yan sighed deeply.    

Not to mention putting it into your flying sword, when you fought with someone else, although it seemed like you were swinging your fist, it was actually like you were slashing with your sword.    

Imagine, the enemy is fighting you to the death.    

All of a sudden, the magical equipment he had was sucked into the Heaven Punisher.    

When the next moment came, Chu Yan had refined this magical equipment and then attacked back at the enemy. Chu Yan didn't even need to wave his hands; he just moved his mind as he pleased.    

The enemy was going to go crazy on the spot.    

The possession of Heaven's Punishment greatly increased Chu Yan's strength once again.    

Other than these, Chu Yan also saw a rune inside the Sky Execution.    

This rune was blood-red in color, and there were golden patterns surrounding it. From time to time, it would flicker with a sharp and terrifying radiance.    

However, Chu Yan didn't know the purpose of this rune, so he could only study it slowly when he had time in the future.    

In summary, the purpose of this trip to the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest was to obtain a drop of blood essence from the heart of the Myriad Consciousness Berserk Dragon.    

Furthermore, to be able to successfully advance to the celestial mood stage, to be able to greatly increase one's abilities and magic treasures, that was an unexpected surprise.    

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Chu Yan only increased his cultivation level because he became stronger.    

But now, with the power of the Return to the Ruins Tower and their treasures, Chu Yan's strength could be said to have undergone an earth-shattering change.    

It was like running. Not only did Chu Yan shake the other person off by a large margin, he was also running at ten or twenty times faster than the other person.    

This gap would only grow bigger and bigger, enough to make one despair.    

"Alright, let's make another trip to the Boat City. Then we can go back and see everyone."    

Chu Yan thought for a while and decided not to tell Lin Miaoran and the others about his promotion.    

A few days ago, when Chu Yan was in closed-door training, Lin Miaoran had told Chu Yan that after a period of crazily consuming pills and training, everyone was showing signs of breaking through.    

There were only two months until the opening of Spirit Severing Road.    

Every moment was particularly important.    

Therefore, Chu Yan decided to not talk about this news for now, in case it stirred up the emotions of the crowd, causing the feeling of advancement that he finally got to be lost.    

After coming out of Return to the Ruins Tower, Chu Yan climbed onto the Spirit Boat and headed towards Tong Zhou City.    

At first, it was fine, but later on, when they passed by many public areas, Chu Yan found that the number of cultivators entering the Evil Barbarian Forest suddenly increased a lot.    

This was a stark contrast to the previous two times where cultivators were rarely seen.    

Chu Yan stopped his Spirit Boat and asked around.    

When the other party saw that he was being questioned by a Tianxin master, he almost kneeled down on the spot.    

With this attitude, this cultivator would naturally speak everything he knew about Chu Yan's problem.    

Soon, Chu Yan understood.    

In the end, it still had something to do with him.    

In this Evil Barbarian Rain Forest, the greatest disaster was the Myriad Consciousness Berserk Dragon and his Seventy-two Mountain Masters.    

Because of their existence, the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest was a forbidden area for surrounding cultivators. Although they knew that due to the environment, many heavenly and earthly treasures grew within, it was very difficult to obtain.    

However, this time, the Myriad Consciousness Berserk Dragon was killed by Chu Yan. Although half of the 72 Ridge Masters were dead, the strongest at the transformation phase was almost completely wiped out, leaving behind only a few fish that escaped the net.    

Therefore, to the surrounding cultivators, the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest was not as dangerous as before. It was as if it had turned from a killing ground into a treasure trove with its doors wide open.
