Chapter 1355: Heart of Holy Light

"This area has only recently been explored, so there aren’t many artifact masters here."

"There are 306 Xuanhuang Artifact Masters and 1,600 innate supreme treasure artifact masters."

"I’m really hoping one of your Xuanhuang Artifact Masters becomes a primordial artifact master," the Holy Light Girl said, her eyes sparkling.

"What do you gain if a primordial artifact master emerges?" Xu Fan asked with a grin.

"The biggest benefit is that I can be forcefully elevated to the chaotic saint realm."

"My natural talent is poor, but I’ve always been lucky. So, on my father’s advice, I came here to try my luck." The Holy Light Girl looked worriedly at the chaotic Great Gods or Demons holding back the giant beasts.

If this group of artifact masters were killed by the giant beasts, it would all be over.

Xu Fan chuckled at the Holy Light Girl, who was barely at the saint level.

"From what I know, your Holy Light Empire has many secret techniques to boost you to the chaotic saint realm. Why come here?" Xu Fan inquired.

Just then, a giant beast spat out a massive glob of phlegm filled with Decaying Aura, aimed directly at their airborne fortress.

At that moment, all the chaotic Great Gods or Demons were busy, and the exotic powerful beings guarding the airborne fortress clearly couldn’t stop this attack.

Suddenly, a gray crack appeared in front of the airborne fortress, and out came a menacing black shadow.

Cloaked in darkness, it radiated an aura that seemed to corrode everything.

"Oh no, a being from that side has broken through!" the Holy Light Girl cried out, visibly shaken.

Feeling the aura from the black shadow, Xu Fan thought to himself, "Avatar Number Three is done for."

A long black blade appeared in the black shadow’s hand, slashing towards the airborne fortress.

As the blade descended, the area plunged into darkness.

In the darkness, Xu Fan felt his body and mind freeze.

Looking beside him, the Holy Light Girl had turned into a statue.

"Forget about the top inheritance of the primordial artifact masters in the Chaotic Mist Area," Xu Fan thought, ready to abandon Number Three.

Just as the artifact masters in the fortress thought they were doomed, a pair of god or demon eyes appeared in the darkness.

Then, the darkness shattered, and the black figure in the airborne fortress disappeared.

As the artifact masters inside the fortress sighed in relief, the glob of phlegm from the giant beast hit the airborne fortress.

The Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure level airborne fortress began to dissolve rapidly, like snow in the sun.

"All artifact masters, evacuate the airborne fortress; avoid the Decaying Aura!"

On a continent bathed in crimson light, thousands of artifact masters looked at the battlefield in terror.

"Thankfully, the Leader of the God Demon Empire stepped in, or we would have been finished," the Holy Light Girl murmured. She then summoned a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure level vehicle and started calling the artifact masters to board, ready to move on.

Xu Fan looked into the distance and saw the giant beasts killed by the god or demon eyes starting to emit black smoke and dissolve.

"Are these corpses of any use?" Xu Fan asked.

"The essence released from the bodies is key for creating divine objects. However, only a primordial artifact master or a leader among powerful beings can remove the Decaying Aura attached to them," the Holy Light Girl explained.

"By the way, what are the requirements to apply for divine objects as resources for refining Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures?" Xu Fan inquired once more.

"You need to have refined over 100 top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures in a row to be eligible to apply for divine objects," the Holy Light Girl explained. "Also, you must be specifically designated by one of the top battle generals from the battlefield for refining Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures."

Just then, their vehicle descended onto a vast open area, and the Holy Light Girl left Xu Fan to start organizing the War Preparation City. In no time, a massive War Preparation City was constructed.

Suddenly, a large space crack appeared from within the city, and groups of powerful beings from various races began to emerge, each radiating a fierce battle intent, as though they had just stepped out of a bloodbath.

"Sigh, I wonder how long this group of powerful beings will last," the Holy Light Girl mused earlier.

"What? Are we at a disadvantage now?" Xu Fan asked, intrigued.

"Yes, but it’s not a huge disadvantage; it’s just the balance of power in this regional battlefield," she replied. "You’ll know we’re in serious trouble when you see the stars turn into holy light," she added, pointing to the blood-red stars in the sky.

Xu Fan took a moment to sense the surroundings and noticed that the chaotic myriad paths were still quite disordered, but slightly clearer than in the previous War Preparation City.

"Don’t bother guessing; I’ll tell you. The area under those blood-colored stars is entirely their territory," the Holy Light Girl stated.

"What’s our enemy’s side like, roughly?" Xu Fan asked with curiosity.

"I’m not entirely sure, but it’s probably similar to the Chaotic Mist Area, just in a state of decline," she answered.

At that moment, a chaotic light column shot up from the War Preparation City into the sky. Xu Fan recognized it as a signal receiver and transmitter.

"We’re connected to the main city now. Let’s see what our current task is," the Holy Light Girl said as she activated a light curtain. The screen displayed a requirement to refine 10,000 Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures within 100,000 years, including 1,000 that must be top-tier.

Seeing this, the Holy Light Girl’s face showed distress. "You’ve got to be kidding me! I don’t have a single top-tier Xuanhuang Artifact Master here, and you expect me to refine so many top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures? This is just setting me up for failure," she complained, starting to appeal the task, but all her appeals were rejected.

"What happens if we don’t complete the task?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"If I don’t complete this task, these six Epochs will have been for nothing, and I’ll have to endure my father’s mockery when I return," the Holy Light Girl said, looking disheartened. "Completing ten Epochs would give me a chance for promotion. If I fail this task, I’ll have to start all over again," she added, pressing her forehead as her mind raced.

"If I take on the task of refining 1,000 top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures, what’s in it for me?" Xu Fan asked with a slight smile.

"Are you a top-tier Xuanhuang Artifact Master?" she asked, surprised. "Wait, I saw you refining Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures, and it was only at an intermediate level, but there’s something about your demeanor that makes me think you’ll definitely become a primordial artifact master in the future."

Xu Fan felt a bit embarrassed at this; he had instructed Number Three to focus on quickly refining Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures.

"Give me the best chaotic spirit ore, and I’ll deliver 1,000 top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures," Xu Fan said seriously.

"If you can really refine them, I’ll give you my most prized possession," the Holy Light Girl said, presenting a giant egg that radiated holy light. "This is the Heart of Holy Light, a divine object I planned to use when I ascend to the chaotic saint realm. If you can refine 1,000 top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures, it’s yours."
