Chapter 477: Ultimate Sublimation! (Seeking Subscription and Monthly Tickets!!) PS: I made some modifications to the content regarding Zhou Ziwen's death in the previous chapter.
In the pitch-black night, spirituality is a comet that pierces through the darkness.
Once a magical artifact gains spirituality, it is no longer a lifeless object; in a sense, it possesses the properties of being "alive."
Spiritual Treasure!
Liu Yu’s heart trembled, and his pupils constricted slightly.
Within the perception of his spiritual awareness, the intense sense of threat was emanating from the Holy Flame Sword.
Moreover, this sword was not the same as when it first appeared; it had undergone quite a change.
The originally bright yellow hilt and silver-white blade had dimmed considerably, as if the vibrant colors had faded from being left for too long.
The bright yellow and silver-white had faded somewhat, replaced by a layer of delicate gray.
The Holy Flame Sword now looked plain and ordinary, showing no sign of its original extraordinary qualities, resembling an ordinary secular long sword.
The terrifying might that had once been felt within was completely absent as well.
However, Liu Yu trusted his spiritual awareness; it absolutely wouldn’t be wrong—the strong sense of threat was indeed coming from the Holy Flame Sword!
Divine Objects Conceal Themselves!
This term naturally arose in Liu Yu’s mind upon seeing the current situation.
If the Holy Flame Sword had truly given birth to spirituality and had become a spiritual treasure, or was in the process of ascending to a spiritual treasure, then he would indeed have failed to notice it.
Forget about himself; even a yuan ying true monarch or a divine transformation sovereign might not be able to detect it when faced with a divine object's concealment.
If it weren't for the thought of about to kill Tang Tianbao that had arisen, Liu Yu would not have been able to sense the subtle threat emanating from this sword.
This point could be inferred from the fact that during this long duel of magic, the Holy Flame Sword had consistently maintained its "ordinary" state.
“Wait a minute.”
“Why does the thought of killing Tang Tianbao bring such a terrifying sense of threat from this sword?”
Liu Yu suddenly had this thought flash through his mind.
In the next moment, another term naturally emerged in his mind—Spiritual Treasure Recognizes its Master.
Spiritual treasures are on par with the void refinement masters, representing the pinnacle of this realm. They originally required at least the divine transformation realm to refine and could only unleash a small part of their might.
Only a void refinement master can perfectly display the might of a spiritual treasure.
Cultivators below the divine transformation realm cannot possibly refine a spiritual treasure, let alone talk about actively using it.
However, due to the special nature of spiritual treasures, because of "spirituality," they possess incomplete intelligence, or say an incomplete "artifact spirit," and do not necessarily have to be refined to be used.
If one gains the acknowledgment of a spiritual treasure and is recognized as its master by the "artifact spirit" within, there may be exceptions.
But the principle of balance in the Dao dictates that low-level cultivators, even if they gain a spiritual treasure and complete the spiritual treasure recognition, will have to pay a terrible price to use it.
And this price is something low-level cultivators cannot bear; it often costs them their lives.
Even golden core cultivators cannot afford the price of using a spiritual treasure.
Spiritual Treasure Recognition.
Having confirmed this, Liu Yu’s gaze became somewhat complex.
Being recognized by a spiritual treasure that has just given birth to spirituality—what kind of opportunity is that?
He couldn’t help but feel a sense of envy for Tang Tianbao's encounter.
But upon some reflection, he felt a strange sense of identification?
Since the Heavenly Fire True Lord, the Holy Flame Sect has paid an unimaginable price to forge the Holy Flame Sword.
