"What released such a grand phenomenon? Did a World Seal appear again? It doesn't seem like it! But it must be a treasure, this divine son cannot miss it!"
In an instant,
Many異獸 (Yi Shou) and half-beasts swarmed towards the base, even zombies came to join the fun, wanting a piece of the pie!
Rumble!
The beasts surged, and the ground shook.
Inside the base, Wang Luo's expression changed. He didn't know what was happening, but the great phenomenon made him worried that Yang Shu might get hurt, and he wanted to pull her away quickly.
But at this moment,
With an explosion, the stone embryo burst open, and boundless pure white light bloomed. Faintly, people seemed to see a Valkyrie, clad in silver armor and holding a long sword, appearing and disappearing within the pure white light.
The pure white light permeated the entire base, and law symbols, like hieroglyphs, drifted within the light, emitting an exceptionally dazzling glow.
"This is... Heavenly Law Runes, holy crap... I know what this is, it's a divine artifact!"
Zhao Zhen suddenly exclaimed.
He hadn't seen it clearly within the stone embryo before, but now he finally recognized them: these were the Heavenly Laws of a divine artifact!
"What?"
Yuan Ye and Guo Wu were both greatly shocked. The former asked in confusion, "Why would a divine artifact be inside a stone embryo?"
"I understand now, the stone embryo before was the embryo that nurtured the divine artifact. But we've only seen divine artifacts, never what the embryo nurturing a divine artifact looks like, so we didn't recognize it!"
Zhao Zhen said excitedly.
He never expected to have the honor of witnessing the embryo that nurtured a divine artifact; perhaps even the powerful individuals who wield divine artifacts had never seen this before!
"And this might be a divine artifact of the light attribute, which is why only Leader Yang, who possesses the light element, could activate it!"
Zhao Zhen never imagined that he would see such a light-attribute divine artifact in the surface world!
Hearing that it was a divine artifact,
Wang Luo also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he was curious: why would the birth of a divine artifact cause such a massive phenomenon?
The power of light lasted for a long time,
Finally, all the Heavenly Laws that had been flying within the pure white light condensed, transforming into a pure white long sword, which landed in Yang Shu's hand.
"Sword of Light!"
Yang Shu murmured, her expression filled with excitement. She hadn't expected that simply touching it would trigger such a change.
The people around were curious and stepped forward to examine the first divine artifact in the surface world.
Its appearance was no different from a normal long sword, except for the many hieroglyphic Heavenly Law symbols inscribed on it. These laws emitted pure white light, enveloping the sword in a hazy radiance!
"Come, let me see just how sharp this divine artifact is?"
Zhou Yiming drew his pig-slaughtering knife, wanting to test the sharpness of the divine artifact.
Even if the divine artifact couldn't be fully activated, its sharpness should be extraordinary, right?
"Don't!"
Yuan Ye quickly stopped Zhou Yiming and said, "Don't even try it. Your pig-slaughtering knife will be instantly severed!"
That was an SSS-grade transcendent weapon, after all. It would be such a waste if it broke just like that!
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
"It's that exaggerated!"
"Alright, then I won't try it!"
Everyone in the surface world was seeing a divine artifact for the first time and was naturally curious. They each took the "Sword of Light" from Yang Shu's hand to examine it closely.
However, when others held the divine artifact, the inscribed Heavenly Laws on it turned extremely ordinary, like those of a regular weapon.
"What's the reason for this?"
Yang Chufeng asked curiously.
"Perhaps it's because Leader Yang's light element matches this sword that it can emit a faint glow!"
"Wife, you try it," Yue Bai said to Shen Muling. She and Yang Shu were the only two light-element awakened individuals in the base.
Shen Muling nodded and gripped the long sword, but to everyone's surprise, the long sword still didn't emit any light.
"What's going on? Is the divine artifact broken?" Huangpu Yu asked doubtfully.
"Even if your brother used it, the divine artifact wouldn't break!" Zhou Yiming said speechlessly. This was a divine artifact, it wouldn't break that easily.
However, when Yang Shu took the divine artifact back, the long sword once again emitted pure white light.
"Huh? Why is that?"
Everyone looked at Yuan Ye and the other two in confusion.
"We can't explain that either. But it does look a bit like the divine artifact has been completely refined by Leader Yang!"
"Refined? When did she refine it?"
"We don't know that either. Perhaps it's because the divine artifact recognized Leader Yang right from its embryonic stage. Anyway, we haven't interacted with divine artifacts before, so we don't know what special abilities they have!"
Guo Wu said helplessly.
Even in the underground world, divine artifacts were extremely rare, and they were all held by powerful individuals. They hadn't even reached the god-level, so how could they have the right to see such things?
While everyone was admiring the divine artifact,
Many Yi Shou and half-beasts had already arrived near the base one after another.
"Human base? There's such a large human base here?"
"Hahaha, I'm in for a treat this time. This divine son will eat all the humans in this base!"
Some half-beasts exclaimed excitedly.
They had been on the surface world for so long, and many half-beasts hadn't encountered humans. Who would have thought there was a surviving human base here.
"Did the phenomenon just now come from here? It seems that treasure must be within this human base. I'm hungry too, so I'll go in and investigate!"
Many half-beasts couldn't help but salivate. Human flesh was tender and delicious, the perfect snack for satisfying cravings.
The half-beasts rushed in impatiently, their massive bodies crashing through the mountains, making the ground tremble.
"A bunch of fools. Even the zombies haven't approached the human base, there must be something strange about this. Fine, let them go in and scout first!"
Some half-beasts sneered dismissively.
The zombies here were strange; they all lingered around the outer perimeter of the mountains and didn't go in. There had to be something unusual about it!
However, due to the mist, they couldn't see what was happening inside.
Not long after,
Screams of Yi Shou could be heard from within the mist, their colossal bodies rolling on the ground, crushing nearby peaks.
"That's... hiss, that's Black Mist!"
"Holy crap, there's Black Mist around this human base?"
Many half-beasts, upon flying into the air, changed their expressions drastically. Even though they were divine sons, they were powerless against the Black Mist, and their divine might had no effect on it.
"These humans are truly mad, daring to build a base near the Black Mist. They truly court death!"
Many half-beasts didn't dare to linger any longer and left immediately.
The Black Mist was something they truly couldn't afford to mess with!
Only some lightning-element, fire-element Yi Shou or half-beasts showed no fear, and driven by the desire to eat human flesh, they resolutely flew towards the base.
