Chapter 5086 Great Desolate Halberd

Chapter 5086 Great Desolate Halberd


“Ten Worlds Diagram!”


Those three words exploded in Long Chen’s mind like lightning, leaving him dizzy. This was the first time he had heard this name. Yet, as the words echoed in his mind, it felt as if some ancient karma had enveloped him.


“So it’s something from the same era as you!” Long Chen said in disbelief.


The Earth Cauldron’s voice grew deep and distant. “Looking at them has awakened some old memories.”


Long Chen then turned his attention to the halberd. Its runes were dark and dim, but they still made his soul s.h.i.+ver.


The halberd was covered in dark-gold marks. Although the blade was pitch-black, the sight of its tip caused Long Chen’s heart to tremble. The image of a dagger flashed in his mind.


“This is…!”


Long Chen almost didn’t believe his eyes. He was shocked to find that the mysterious dagger he had inadvertently obtained was a match for the tip of this halberd.


“That is also one of the ten great primal chaos divine items—the Great Desolate Halberd.”


“Then the dagger I obtained…”


“Correct. It is its broken blade. Now, you should know why that dagger was unstoppable,” said the Earth Cauldron.


So, the mysterious dagger was indeed the broken tip of the Great Desolate Halberd. No wonder it had been unscathed when it struck the Earth Cauldron’s body back then; only one of the ten great primal chaos divine items could have withstood such force.


Long Chen had never dreamed that he had once possessed two of the ten great primal chaos divine items. He had given that dagger to Dong Mingyu, who turned it into her most terrifying killing tool.


Now, learning the names of the Heaven Earth Cauldron, the Ten Worlds Diagram, and the Great Desolate Halberd, Long Chen was overwhelmed with shock.


“They are replicas, derivative items created by a divine craftsman of the immemorial era,” the Earth Cauldron explained. “Unfortunately, their item-spirits have long since died. If they were at their peak, they would rival the Human Emperor divine items.”


“Ah? Their item-spirits are dead?” Long Chen was disappointed. Although they were duplicates, their auras were absolutely shocking. If their item-spirits weren’t dead, they probably wouldn’t be placed for sale here.


“Young friend, do you recognize these three items?” asked the elder. He suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Long Chen with astonishment.


Although the elder’s eyes were closed, he had complete awareness of everything happening around him. He observed Long Chen’s disbelief upon seeing the items, followed by a regretful expression after a moment of reflection.


Long Chen nodded. “It’s a pity, a real pity!”


Countless heavenly geniuses turned toward him curiously. Most were unable to recognize these three divine items and were merely drawn to their terrifying auras, comparing them to the strongest divine items they had ever encountered.


Even those from ancient factions, who possessed immense knowledge, could only identify one of the items. But even then, they were already shocked badly.


However, Long Chen recognized all three, which astonished everyone. The elder stood up and addressed him. “It seems you are the destined person I was waiting for. Pick any one of these three divine weapons, and I will give you the best possible price: three thousand Sage King Pills.”


Startled cries erupted from the crowd, not at the divine weapons themselves, but at the price.


“Hold up. Are you sure you’re waiting for someone with destiny, or just someone with money?” demanded Long Chen.


The elder solemnly said, “Of course I only care about destiny.”


“Give it up. No matter how strong they may seem, they’re just duplicates, and their item-spirits have already died. Who has the ability to awaken a spirit within them again? If someone had that kind of divine ability, they wouldn’t waste time hoping for a new item-spirit to grow. They’d simply forge a new divine weapon. Anyone who thinks otherwise must be out of their mind,” argued Long Chen.


“No, no, no. Trust me, their item-spirits have not died. They are in the middle of nirvanic rebirth, waiting for their new master to appear,” said the elder hastily.


“No, no, no. You trust me… The item-spirits are definitely dead. If a single one is still alive, I will cut off my head and give it to you,” replied Long Chen firmly.


That elder’s expression turned ugly, his previous warmth gone. “What would a child know? Don’t spout nonsense here, or you’ll invoke karma.”


Seeing him suddenly get anxious, the other experts laughed. The elder seemed just like a conman who had become irate after having his scam exposed.


“Buy that cauldron. We have a purpose for it,” said the Earth Cauldron.


Long Chen was startled. If the item-spirit was dead, what was the point of buying it? However, since the Earth Cauldron had spoken, there had to be a deeper reason. The elder’s expression darkened, and he was about to dismiss Long Chen when Long Chen spoke up.


“If I were afraid of invoking karma, I wouldn’t have come here. Let’s skip the pretense of discussing destiny and money. Although the item-spirits of these three replicas are dead, there is still a chance for their rebirth. They are definitely valuable, but three thousand Sage King Pills is too high. Offer me a better price, and I might consider picking one if it’s worthwhile. Otherwise, I might not be the destined person you’re waiting for.”


The elder was startled to hear that. Long Chen really wanted to buy one? Reforming the spirit of such an ancient divine item was likely ten times more difficult than simply reforging a new divine item.


The elder, initially fuming with anger, was swayed by Long Chen’s words. At this moment, Long Chen reached out to him spiritually. “Friend, we’re all just trying to survive in this world. There’s no need to carry out your act too far. I’ll help you get a good start, and you’ll find things easier afterward.”


The elder’s heart shook. He had long since known these three items were essentially defective but had hoped to con someone into buying them. However, he hadn’t expected to be exposed so quickly.


Gritting his teeth, he offered, “The lowest I can go is two thousand.”


“No, that’s unacceptable. How am I supposed to do anything with such a high price?” responded Long Chen.


“One thousand and eight hundred. Take it or leave it. I also paid a very high price to acquire them,” argued the elder.


With a mischievous smile, Long Chen whispered, “Five hundred, and I will help you with the follow-up.”
