Chapter 1740: A Blood Sacrifice For a Broken Sword

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Childe… Zhufeng really found the last fragment? Is… Is that true?” 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 Xiaobei’s trump cards on his behalf.

Earth-God Spiritual Beast! High-ranking Dragon’s 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.

“Of course it’s true! Look for yourselves!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged the stares off as he retrieved the piece of Spirit Immortal Instrument fragment from his Infinite Space Ring.

“It’s real… My god… That’s the last fragment…”

Gasps echoed throughout the group as everyone set their eyes upon the piece of ‘scrap metal’.

“Childe Chen… You… How did you find this fragment? This is going to be such a big help to us!” The dragon emperor’s voice trembled slightly. He even addressed Chen Xiaobei in the formal ‘Ning’您’ (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, “The 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!”

“Four… Four hundred million…” The divine dragon gasped. “That’s… Four hundred fifty billion and one hundred million low-grade Spiritual Stones… We can’t produce this many liquid assets in such a short amount of time…”

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, “You don’t have to pay me back! I already took it back when I killed the enemy!”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible!” The Dragon Emperor shook his head. “That’s two very different things! We have to repay you for what you’ve 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!”

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.

“Whatever favor it is, let’s save it for later! Right now, we have more important things to address! Chen Xiaobei said. “Your grace, could you please take out the rest of the fragments. Let’s solve the secret of the Spirit Immortal Instrument first!”

“Alright!” The Emperor nodded. “Our tribe’s 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!”

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.

“Let me put in the missing piece!” 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.

“Next, we need to perform the Divine Dragon blood sacrifice!” The Emperor announced. “After that, we’ll be able to trigger the Dragon God Ruin’s hidden special ability to defeat the enemy!”

“Father! Let me do it…”

“Grandpa! Let us do it…”

All the members of the imperial family volunteered to offer their blood to the sword.

“No! I have to be the one to do it!” The Dragon Emperor said. “The 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-God’s Dragon Blood to perform the sacrifice, it could even wield the power of an Earth God!”

No protests were made, and everyone retreated to the side.

The Emperor’s cultivation was the highest amongst them, which means his blood’s Special Ability was the most powerful. He was clearly the best person for the blood sacrifice.

Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei broke the silence. “What if we offer Divine Blood to the sword? Could it wield the strength of a god?”

“Divine Blood?” The Dragon Emperor shook his head. “Even if we do have Divine Blood, it’s 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!”

“Only in theory?” Chen Xiaobei questioned. “Does that mean that it cannot really wield Spirit Immortal strength in practice?”

“Yes…” The Emperor nodded. “Even if we offer up a Spirit Immortal dragon’s 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!”

“Oh…” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “I was just curious. In this current situation, we’ll just need to wield Three-Star Earth-God strength to be able to wipe out the enemy!”

“That’s right! The Dragon Emperor nodded. “Please step back, Childe Chen. I will begin the sacrifice now. We have to eliminate all threats as quickly as possible!”

“Mm…” 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 – 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!
