Long Chen gripped the back of the broken sword with two fingers, carefully afraid of touching any sharp spot, because no matter what it touched, it would easily cut it off, without even the slightest friction.
It wasn't heavy; on the contrary, it was very light, like a feather; otherwise, it wouldn't have drifted in the Ink Sea.
Long Chen guessed that either the massive sea monsters surging or the appearance of the ghost ship caused the seawater to flow rapidly, causing it to float to the bottom of the ghost ship until it destroyed a part of the ghost ship, destroying it and piercing Long Chen's body.
Thinking about it now, Long Chen couldn't help but feel a chill of fear. If the broken sword had passed through his skull, he would already be dead.
The most terrifying thing was that there was no warning at all. Long Chen didn't even sense danger. It was unclear whether he couldn't sense it or because deep within the Ink Sea his senses were completely limited.
In short, being trapped in Mohai this time, surviving with death like a close call, truly terrified Long Chen. That helplessness made him feel as if he had returned to the Fengming Empire, being bullied and plundered at will, killed and plundered, yet powerless to resist. That feeling of being stripped of all his power was a terror that came from the depths of his soul.
"Sss!"
Ming Cangyue took out a long spear. This spear was a divine weapon exclusive to a god, but the moment it touched the blade, it was instantly cut off. Even the sensation was so faint that unless you felt it carefully, you wouldn't even feel it.
Seeing the half-broken sword so sharp, the two gasped; they had never seen such a terrifying divine weapon.
"It looks like a sword tip, but its shape is a bit odd, and it also seems to be the spearhead part of a spear.
Such a terrifying divine weapon was by no means nameless, but it carried no aura from head to toe. If you didn't look at it, you could hardly sense it—it was truly eerie. Ming Cangyue looked at the half-broken sword, about three inches long, her face full of confusion. This thing was beyond her understanding.
"Take a look—can you really use this thing?" Long Chen saw that neither of them recognized the treasure and couldn't help but feel a bit excited. This time, he had finally found a treasure.
"You traded your life for this. How can we take it?" Leng Yueyan shook her head.
Long Chen's face turned serious. What kind of relationship is this, and now you're saying such unconventional things? Ming Cangyue just laughed and said, "
Fool, she's just teasing you on purpose. You're taking it seriously."
Long Chen looked at Leng Yueyan. Sure enough, she had a mischievous smile at the corner of her mouth. Long Chen was speechless. He found Leng Yueyan actually had a mischievous side, and he felt a bit uncomfortable.
"But we really can't accept this thing. I always feel it's very sinister and not suitable for us. Our bone sword is a twin life-bound divine weapon, and we won't need any other weapons in this lifetime.
It happened to run into you by such a coincidence and was pulled out. It must be destined to be with you, so you should keep it.
Just make two handles and sandwich the broken sword between them. This is a dagger with unparalleled sharpness. Isn't there a better candidate by your side? Ming Cangyue said with a smile.
As soon as Ming Cangyue reminded him, Long Chen immediately thought of Dongming Yu, the little girl who had betrayed her faith for him and made him her life's little girl.
Ming Cangyue reminded Long Chen, who immediately called Chang Gong Hao over to help him make a wooden handle. Long Chen even suspected that Long Gong Hao was just a carpenter. He understood what shape, size, and pattern Long Chen wanted.
In just one hour, a delicate wooden handle was ready. Two wooden handles tightly clamped the broken sword, extremely secure. Thus, a delicate dagger was born.
The design was basically modeled after Dongming Yu's old dagger. Long Chen held the dagger in his hand, feeling extremely pleased. Dongming Yu would surely be very happy to receive it, as it would truly unleash its power in her hands.
But before encountering Dongming Jade, it was still Long Chen's trump card for survival. Although Long Chen could only use a broadsword to attack and not attack with a dagger, this dagger still had countless uses. At least with it, no great formation could trap him.
As for those terrifying divine weapons, heh, just sever them directly. Having them is like cheating. Although I nearly lost my life this time, obtaining this treasure was worth it.
After playing with the dagger for a while, Long Chen finally put it away with great care and asked about the sea monster corpses.
The sea demon's demon core and corpse were separated. Ming Cangyue thought Long Chen wanted the demon core, so she thoughtfully ordered someone to pick out the demon core. After all, these demon cores are rare treasures for the underworld powerhouses.
Especially those powerful demon cores, which can be absorbed directly and even enhance cultivation. So after taking out so many demon cores, the strong warriors under Ming Cangyue's command were stunned and swallowed hard. However, they knew these belonged to Master Long San and dared not make a move on it.
But what Ming Cangyue didn't expect was that Long Chen didn't even glance at the demon cores. Instead, he treated the corpses like treasures, his face full of surprise.
Because of these beasts, Long Chen couldn't discern their cultivation levels, but the vitality they released was far stronger than that of the Black Dragon Sea Demons in Evil Dragon Valley.
As the corpse was devoured and life force was released, the withered rare medicines, Jianmu Divine Tree, and Demon-Eyed Water Lilies all began to slowly transform their vitality, bringing the dead back to life.
These corpses numbered in the millions, and it took a full three days to be completely devoured.
On just the first day, Long Chen's chaotic space was fully restored to its original state, and with their help, his wounds were also fully healed.
The next day, the Jianmu Divine Tree soared to twenty thousand li, completed flowering and fruiting, and produced the second batch of Jianmu Divine Fruits.
On the third day, the Jianmu Divine Tree soared to thirty thousand li, and all of them had bloomed. These millions of sea monster corpses were truly impressive.
Besides the Jianmu Divine Tree, the Demon-Eyed Water Lily also surged wildly. When it reached the third tier, its five seeds could continue to reproduce as seeds. Long Chen directly extracted the seeds and planted them.
Now, within the chaotic space, there was a lotus pond with nearly a hundred demon-eyed water lilies. However, many had just been sown and had just sprouted flower buds. Without corpse infusion, their growth had basically stopped.
Even so, Long Chen was very satisfied. The gains this time were unimaginable. Ming Cangyue controlled six major powers in one go, and these factions had many regions under their control. Whether it was Ming Cangyue or Long Chen, they had made a fortune.
Long Chen had been recovering from his injuries for several days. Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue took over the territory they had acquired, mastering the laws here, and had just finished their busy tasks.
Long Chen pestered the two again, continuing to be his sparring partner. This time, he was determined to break through to the peak of the Four Extremes in one go.
