"Impossible... It can't be that sword!"
At this moment, a demon god suddenly seemed to recall something, his eyes widening in shock.
"That sword was already destroyed!"
Despite the demon gods' exclamations, Lin San's expression remained unchanged.
Gripping Ye Fan's sword tightly, he activated his will and continued his attack with the long sword!
The three demon gods were visibly shaken, but they quickly recovered and wielded their weapons, engaging Lin San in battle.
Clang, clang, clang—
As their weapons clashed wildly, the deafening sound of collisions echoed through the sky.
It seemed as though the entire sky was trembling.
But soon, the weapons of the demon gods began to show cracks!
As their weapons clashed again, they shattered completely!
Seizing the moment, Lin San wielded Ye Fan's sword and effortlessly slashed through their bodies, slicing them into countless pieces.
As their bodies fell to the ground, an abundance of blood and energy began flowing into Ye Fan's sword.
[Killed seven-star demon god, gained 700,000,000 evolution points.]
[Killed seven-star demon god, gained 700,000,000 evolution points.]
[Killed seven-star demon god, gained 700,000,000 evolution points.]

[Absorbed seven-star demon god blood essence, gained 7,000 energy points.]
[Absorbed seven-star demon god blood essence, gained 7,000 energy points.]
Finally, the last of the three demon gods were defeated.
"Phew."
Feeling the energy being absorbed by Ye Fan's sword and transmitted into his body, Lin San exhaled a long breath.
"It's been a long time since I've felt such a rich surge of energy."
[Backup data being deleted...]
"What the hell, why are you deleting it!?"
Upon seeing the system's message, Ye Fan was stunned and immediately cursed out loud.
This system must be broken! Even though the skills weren't at a high level, they were still usable.
And now it wanted to delete them?
[System upgrade reset requires all backup data to be cleared.]
The system's prompt appeared again.
[System upgrade in progress...]
Ye Fan was left speechless.
Oh well, at least he had energy points now, enough to keep moving.
"Huh?"
At that moment, Lin San, still holding Ye Fan's sword, noticed something odd.
The energy within the sword had vanished.
It felt as though the sword's power had completely disappeared!
He could clearly feel that the amplification effect from earlier was gone.
"We're back to square one..."
Ye Fan sighed with frustration.
However, after the system upgrade, he should be able to continue evolving, right?
Lin San glanced at the now broken Ye Fan sword in his hand and quickly left the area.
No matter what, he would not abandon this sword.
Lin San flew a great distance without encountering any more demon gods, eventually exiting the demon realm.
He made his way towards the outer regions of the Martial God Realm.
"I've found this sword. I will definitely..."
Lin San seemed to have made up his mind, speeding up his flight.
Tianyun City.
A bustling city located near the center of the Martial God Realm.
The city was lively and filled with people.
However, the skies above were forbidden to fly through, so upon arrival, Lin San descended to the ground and walked through the massive city gates.
The city was filled with all kinds of people, and Lin San looked quite ordinary, so no one paid much attention to him.
Soon, he arrived at a weapon forge.
"Lin San, another damaged weapon?"
The owner of the forge, upon seeing Lin San, smiled.
Lin San had frequented this forge many times over the years to purchase or repair weapons.
They had grown quite familiar with each other.
"Yes, Uncle Li. I need to have a sword scabbard made,"
Lin San said as he looked at the middle-aged owner.
"A scabbard? I thought you needed another weapon."
The middle-aged man, known as Uncle Li, chuckled.
"Let me see the sword,"
he said.
Lin San took out Ye Fan's sword.
"This sword..."
"Lin San, you must be joking with me."
Uncle Li stared at the sword in Lin San's hand and couldn't help but laugh wryly.
The sword Lin San now held was clearly a broken one!
Except for the hilt, the sword had long since shattered, with only a small portion of the blade remaining, resembling a set of broken teeth.
"No joke. I just need a suitable scabbard for this sword. It should be three feet three inches long,"
Lin San said earnestly.
"Alright, what material do you want to use?"
Uncle Li, seeing Lin San's serious expression, stopped laughing.
He took the sword and examined it carefully but found nothing unusual.
It was just an ordinary broken sword.
But since Lin San had requested it, he didn't argue further.
"The best material you have,"
Lin San replied.
"Lin San, are you sure about this?"
Uncle Li asked seriously, locking eyes with Lin San.
The finest materials, for a scabbard meant for a broken sword?
"Don't worry, I'll pay in full with divine source stones. Just follow the specifications I gave you,"
Lin San reassured him.
Seeing Lin San's resolute expression, Uncle Li was taken aback but ultimately sighed and agreed.
"Fine, I'll make it for you."
"Oh, by the way, there's something I need to tell you,"
Uncle Li said suddenly, lowering his voice.
Glancing around to ensure no one was nearby, he continued in a hushed tone.
"What is it?"
Lin San asked, frowning slightly.
"That thing you asked me to look into—there's news."
Upon hearing this, Lin San's eyes widened slightly.
"Really!?"
His voice was tinged with disbelief.
He had been searching for information on that item for several years!
Now, out of nowhere, there was news?
"They say a god king's secret realm is about to open, and inside that realm, you might find what you've been looking for,"
Uncle Li explained.
"Where is this secret realm?"
