Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

Before us, the cave formed by green trees appears completely natural, like a secluded retreat.

Could it be that after she crushed the teleportation talisman, she didn't go directly back to the main house of the Lu family in the Northern Territory?

It seems that this is still within the restricted area of ​​the Azure Sky Tomb.

Looking around, Lu Ximei looked slightly bewildered and murmured, "Could it be that the teleportation talisman is malfunctioning?"

Soon.

A chill suddenly ran through her, and after sensing the quiet breathing of some being, she turned around stiffly.

At that moment, Lu Ximei froze.

Not far in front of her...

A frail woman with blue eyes, wearing a white robe and long white hair, sat on the ground; her eyes were lowered, she was on the verge of death, and her extremely weak breath was as if she were asleep.

However, Lu Ximei's eyes widened instantly, shocked beyond measure!

As a fellow member of the Northern Deer Clan, how could she not recognize the person before her?!

With a trembling voice filled with longing, Lu Ximei said, "Your Highness, King Hanlu!! Are you Your Highness, King Hanlu?! I am Lu Ximei... Do you still recognize me?"

"Your Highness, King Hanlu, what are you doing here?"

Did you teleport me here?

Upon hearing this voice, the woman in front of him finally managed to open her eyelids a crack.

The Cold Deer King's voice was slightly cold and indifferent, light and chilly: "So it's Sister Lu Ximei. Hmm, I remember you. When I left the Northern Territory, you had only recently awakened your spiritual weapon, right? You've grown up so much in the blink of an eye?"

Upon hearing the words of the Cold Deer King, Lu Ximei was immediately overwhelmed with excitement and joy.

As a young generation of weapon refiners in the Northern Territory, who wouldn't admire the legendary Frost Deer King?!

Before she could ask what had happened to King Hanlu over the years, she heard him sigh and say, "I was thinking back then that with your poor talent and mediocre strength, you'd probably never reach my level or see the scenery I see."

The Frost Deer King's sickly blue eyes, like a candle flickering in the wind, were not looking at Lu Ximei, but at the sky above the open cave.

"so good……"

"As long as you remain this weak, you'll never feel the same despair as me."

"In this way, you'll never understand the feeling of utter despair when you think you've reached the pinnacle, only to suddenly discover... you're merely standing on a small rock at the bottom of an abyss."

As he spoke, the Frost Deer King finally lowered his head and said indifferently, "You were just defeated, weren't you? But why do you look so happy?"

"You weren't ashamed of your desertion and cowardice in the face of battle; instead, you showed an expression of satisfaction as if you had met an idol."

"you……"

"He's just a weapon refiner of this level..."

"..."

"..."

"what?"

Hearing the words of the Cold Deer King, Lu Ximei was completely dumbfounded.

She remained silent for more than ten seconds.

Seeing the disappointed look in King Hanlu's eyes, she stammered, "Your Highness King Hanlu, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand... I, I, I have always truly admired you."

anyway.

Is this woman, who feels so unfamiliar to him, really His Highness the Cold Deer King?

You must know that the former King of the Frost Deer was extremely gentle and kind, never stingy in guiding anyone, and was the perfect symbol of the entire Northern Deer Clan!

But now, seeing her on the verge of death, and hearing the cold words escaping her lips…

Is she really the kind and gentle Deer King she once was?

And just then...

"Forget it, there's no hope."

The frail, white-haired woman drew the Cold Deer King's gaze, and he said listlessly, "Lu Ximei, I'm giving you two choices now."

"The first one, go die."

"To die by my hand would be the greatest honor for you."

"Your second option is to shatter all your Sun Wheel artifacts into scrap metal and use them for my purposes. In that case, I will spare your life."

The sun disc of the Cold Deer King has been shattered.

With such severe injuries, the spiritual embryos are on the verge of death. Even with continuous re-quenching for repair, they can only barely control the damage to the spiritual embryos and cannot truly restore them.

Unless, of course, countless spiritual weapons of the same kind are used, and the same remnants of the sun wheel, forged through countless hammerings and temperings, are subjected to a complete transformation and re-tempering!

In this bloodline trial, the members of these Lu family branches, as well as the sun-shaped spiritual artifacts of those seeded contestants, are the perfect nourishment for me.

Her path to becoming an empress will continue...

"But……"

"How can it be……?"

"Are you going to make me personally shatter the remnants of my own spiritual weapon?" Lu Ximei's voice trembled with a hint of tears, and at that moment, the spiritual embryos of the two sun-wheel spiritual weapons within her body couldn't help but tremble with fear and unease.

"Your Highness, King Hanlu, I cannot do it!!"

As she said this, countless tears welled up in Lu Ximei's eyes.

She is not yet able to fully understand the situation at hand.

However, for her to break her own magical artifact would be even more painful than killing her!

What kind of ruthless weapon refiner could bear to shatter their own spiritual weapon?

"Two spiritual artifacts were shattered, and there are other spiritual artifacts, and the possibility of finding other Sun Wheel spiritual artifacts... If you die, you really have nothing left." The Cold Deer King's indifferent voice changed, and a cold chill instantly swept through the entire cave. As snowflakes fell from the sky, Lu Ximei's thoughts froze.

Even the surrounding air suddenly became thick and sticky, making one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!

Sensing this icy spiritual energy, Lu Ximei quickly understood.

Even though the Cold Deer King is nearing the end of her life, she, who once walked the path of an emperor... is definitely not someone she can understand.

If she really wanted to make a move.

I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to react...

At this moment, the two sun-shaped spiritual artifacts within her body also resonated with each other, signaling their master to hand them over.

Superior-grade spiritual artifacts are not, after all, those of innate emperors or legends.

After they are broken or fall into a deep sleep, it can take them decades or even hundreds of years to recover.

When you awaken again, your memories will be gone, and you will become a "new" spiritual artifact, which will be possessed by someone else.

but……

They would be content if the self-sacrifice of their spirit artifact could save their master's life, rather than let their master die.

Hearing the persuasive voices of the two sun-shaped artifacts, Lu Ximei broke down in tears. She wavered and said, "I understand, Your Highness, King Hanlu, I am willing to offer up my spiritual weapon."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible trace of sorrow flashed in the blue eyes of the Frost Deer King.

She tilted her head and said coldly, "Compared to loyalty to spiritual artifacts, most weapon refiners are like you... saying it's impossible to break a spiritual artifact, but at the last moment they'll still compromise."

"See, I wasn't wrong, was I?"

"You're nothing more than a weapon refiner of this caliber."

------------

------------

Half a day has passed since the Bloodline Trial began.

Lu Chan and his group also arrived at the dividing line of the half-level area of ​​Qingtian Tomb.

The spiral staircase above the giant blue tree was completely obscured by a blue cloud barrier, blocking the passage between the upper and lower levels.

Several cloud ladders were set up in all directions around the clouds, each connecting to a series of blue doors.

Among them, four doors shone with an unusually strong light, and the doors were mostly closed.

Miss Nanhe asked with some curiosity, "What are we supposed to do? Do we need to go through these doors to reach the upper part of the Azure Sky Tomb?"

"And another thing, why are those four doors so much more dazzling than the others?"

Just then, a notification from a spiritual energy character flashed in the air:

Please choose the door you wish to enter. The brightly lit areas indicate that teams have already entered and opponents are waiting.

Regardless of which door you enter, defeating all enemies will grant you access to the upper level area.

"..."

"I see……"

After the spiritual energy characters dissipated, Lu Chan nodded thoughtfully.

Is it a mandatory battle segment?

Lian Qiu spoke up, "Those four teams are actually traveling faster than us. They must be the seeded teams, right?"

"So, Lu Chan...? Should we go to the new door and wait for others to arrive, or just randomly pick a seeded team?"

"..."

This scene is quite amusing.

The little girl in the official Northern Realm livestream started announcing loudly again: "Ah! Everyone, look! Princess Zijing, who just defeated the Ice Horned Deer Woman not long ago, has finally reached the selection stage!"

"The first to arrive is His Highness, Prince Guanglun Luliren."

"The second to arrive are the Martial Alliance's Fire-Eyebrow King and Drunken Saber Immortal Prince."

"The third to arrive was Princess Tianlei, Her Highness Lu Huan'er."

"The fourth to arrive is Lu Lian, the enchantress of the White Kingdom!"

"None of the four of them chose other doors; instead, they each chose a new door. I wonder if Princess Zijing will enter the seeded players' room? She should be able to guess that the others were all seeded players..."

"It would be such a shame if we didn't see an internal battle between the seeded players in this round!"

"..."

The comments section also erupted with discussion:

"The scene of Princess Zijing defeating the Ice Horned Deer Woman was truly breathtaking. Although she was only at the third level of the Transcendent Realm, I always felt that she was qualified to fight against these people!"

"If it were me, I'd think that as long as I don't run into Princess Tianlei, anything is fine."

"Are you saying that you look down on our Prince Lu Lian?"

"It's not a question of whether we dare to fight or not! The most important thing in this stage is definitely to conserve our spiritual energy! The weaker the opponent, the better!"

And under the spotlight.

The girl with long white and purple hair slowly closed her eyes.

As her purple-painted eyelids drooped, she exuded a serene beauty reminiscent of Sleeping Beauty from a fairy tale.

In complete darkness.

The thin spiritual energy in the air, as well as the traces of residual spiritual energy, were immediately magnified by Lu Chan's senses, and the various attributes of spiritual energy became incredibly clear.

More than ten seconds later, Lu Chan opened his eyes again.

She walked lightly to a cloud ladder, gazed at the blue door not far away, and chuckled softly, covering her mouth: "Hehe~~~~~ There's still a lot of fire-elemental spiritual energy remaining in front of this door."

"How about we play with them for a while?"

Yesterday...

I haven't even settled accounts with that guy who said she was a vicious and evil Black-Eyed Queen in her past life yet!

And then they saw the door that Lu Chan and the others had chosen.

The female hosts in countless live broadcast rooms, as well as the viewers, all became extremely nervous.

The battle that followed was probably the most exciting moment of this trial so far!
