1522 Void Meteoroid Core

The Void Meteoroid Core is an extremely rare and sought-

after material that Tian Qiyuan planned to use as one of the cores for his masterpiece. As its name implies, it originates from the Void Meteoroid, an indestructible rock that traverses the starry sky. Since it is indestructible, the only way to access the core, its most valuable part, is to wait for it to break down naturally until only its core remains.

However, this process could take millions of years, and the longer it takes for the Void Meteoroid to complete it, the more valuable its core will be.

The last time a Void Meteoroid Core appeared in the world was seven million years ago, igniting a war that spread across the starry sky. This time would be no different.

"I can take you to it, but there's already an ongoing battle between several powerhouses for it. How do you plan on participating? You're only a True Immortal. You'll die before you realize it." Zi Xuan said.

"I'll try to get it for you, so just sit here and prepare your body for my return," she said with a passionate smile.

Tian Qiyuan chuckled at her words and said, "I cannot risk losing it. Who knows how long it'll take for the next one to show up? Also, who said I am only a True Immortal?"

Before Zi Xuan could even question his words, Tian Qiyuan released his suppressed cultivation and entered the God Ascension Realm.

His aura continued to surge, ascending swiftly through the levels of the God Ascension Realm, only stopping when his cultivation reached the ninth level of the God Ascension Realm.

This revelation shocked Zi Xuan speechless.

"Y-you were at the peak of God Ascension Realm this entire time?!" she cried out loud.

"Of course," he smiled at her reaction.

'Fuck! I am really glad that I didn't force myself upon him at that time, or I would've ended up embarrassing myself!' she cried inwardly.

"Can you bring me to the location? I'll compensate you later." Tian Qiyuan said a moment later.

"Alright. Follow me."

Zi Xuan led Tian Qiyuan into the starry sky. The two of them traveled for three months straight without any breaks until they reached their destination. Long before their arrival, they could sense powerful ripples in the starry sky caused by cultivators engaged in fierce battles.

Upon arriving, they could see a dozen powerful experts engaged in several battles at once. Not far away from the battlefield was a beautiful black orb contained in a formation to prevent it from floating away or being stolen.

Tian Qiyuan did not immediately join the fight and watched for a little. The others noticed his presence even before he arrived, but seeing how he didn't join the fight, they didn't bother him. Of course, they still kept some of their attention on him, just in case.

Eventually, Tian Qiyuan approached them and spoke, his voice resounding in their minds, "My name is Tian Qiyuan, also known as the Exalted Blacksmith. Just like you, my purpose here is the Void Meteoroid Core."

The experts temporarily halted their movements to look at Tian Qiyuan, who was hiding behind his usual mask. If he had been a nobody, they wouldn't have given him any attention, but Tian Qiyuan's fame is so widespread that they couldn't afford to ignore him.

Seeing that he'd acquired their attention, Tian Qiyuan continued, "I do not want to resolve this with violence, so I have a suggestion—an offer for all of you who are fighting for the Void Meteoroid Core."

"If all of us fought, there would only be one winner and many deaths. Instead, I will offer each of you a Celestial-grade treasure crafted by yours truly in exchange for letting me have the Void Meteoroid Core. This way, all of us win."

"Celestial-grade treasure crafted by you? As enticing as that may sound, I know you only became a Divine Blacksmith several hundred years ago. Are you asking us to wait for hundreds of thousands of years? Even if we agree, we can't ensure that you'll keep your word in the future." One of them proclaimed his skepticism.

"I mean no disrespect when I say this, but Exalted Blacksmith, even a Celestial-grade treasure crafted by you will not be as valuable as this Void Meteoroid Core."

"If you want it, you'll have to fight for it like the rest of us."

After hearing their responses, Tian Qiyuan said, "Indeed, even a Celestial-grade treasure would not be as valuable as this Void Meteoroid Core. However, I am not only offering the treasure."

After a slight pause, he continued in a cold tone, "I am also letting you leave with your life. Is the Void Meteoroid Core worth more than your life? Instead of losing your life to me and losing the Void Meteoroid Core, you can leave with your life and a Celestial-grade treasure in the near future. If that's not good enough, I will have no other choice but to fight for it."

None of the experts there expected Tian Qiyuan to threaten all of them suddenly, Zi Xuan included.

"All that fame must've gotten into your head, Exalted Blacksmith! You should stick to what you're good at—

hammering iron!"

"You should get the fuck out of here while we are still being nice! If you think we won't kill you just because you are a Divine Blacksmith, you need to think again!"

Tian Qiyuan was one of the most popular and revered blacksmiths in the world. These experts knew that killing him would provoke the wrath of many powerful factions, as it would mean the end of not only his life but also all his future masterpieces.

In fact, it was an unspoken rule never to kill individuals of immense significance to the world if it was avoidable, such as top pill masters and blacksmiths, as their deaths would have unimaginable repercussions on the world.

With that said, there were several other Divine Blacksmiths besides Tian Qiyuan, and the world would still function properly, albeit a little worse, even if he were gone, and it wasn't as though he was irreplaceable.

"It's clear that not all of you will accept my offer, but my offer is to each of you individually, so you can still individually accept my offer and leave this battlefield. I will give you ten seconds to decide. Once that time has run out, I will immediately begin killing everyone who refused to leave!" Tian Qiyuan declared in a domineering manner, sending chills down Zi Xuan's entire being.
