Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"What did you say?"

Luo Tiance suddenly raised his head, staring with wide eyes at his own grandson.

At his level,

he naturally didn't suffer from hearing loss; it was just that he couldn't believe what Luo Yu had just spoken. Looking at the ancient and simple longsword that exuded a murderous aura, stone-like in appearance, Luo Tiance's lips quivered, and it took him a long while to find his words, his fingers trembling.

"Hmm," Luo Yu responded.

Receiving a definite answer, Luo Tiance's spirit was shaken even more violently, his gaze fixated on the Slay-Immortal Sword.

"The legendary Divine Artifact possessed by the Heaven-reaching Sect Leader that can form the ancient world's number one killing formation, the Ancient Slay-Immortal Sword?"

"Buzz—"

Luo Tiance could feel the State-Defending Divine Sword in his grasp recoiling in fear. Had it not been for the essence of a nation's Qi Yun within the State-Defending Divine Sword, it would probably have already succumbed to the pressure, bowing in fealty.

For the first time, he felt the proud sword spirit of the State-Defending Divine Sword experience fear, caution, and a consciousness willing to submit.

However, thinking of the legendary ancient sword, everything seemed only natural.

"It... how did it come into your hands?" Luo Tiance struggled to maintain his composure, his throat moving slightly as he swallowed.

"When I reached the right age, it appeared before me on its own," Luo Yu shrugged.

Luo Tiance: "!!!"

He was screaming inside, what's with that helpless tone?

Could it be, you're complaining about it?

Your grandfather was already showy enough in his lifetime, yet you, lad, are even bolder.

Luo Tiance genuinely felt that a lifetime of showiness met no match, after all, he had strength, achievements, and status.

Until his grandson was born.

Luo Tiance thought it was time to reevaluate his grandson.

Previously, he felt that his grandson was nearly ruined after not cultivating for eighteen years; living as a mere mortal seemed nice enough, but then, within the past month.

The surprises came one after another.

First was an earth-shattering awakening, with the appearance of hundreds of Deity-level Ancient Spirits, followed by displaying formidable strength, breaking countless years' worth of testing records, surpassing the records by more than tenfold, and finally, easily killing a group of monstrous geniuses of the same period.

Now... he even pulled out the ancient Divine Artifact, the Slay-Immortal Sword?

Luo Tiance's emotions were indescribable; now the Slay-Immortal Sword has appeared, wouldn't it be unsurprising if one day he brought out a Sky-Opening Axe?

"Grandfather always knew that many resurfacing Ancient Ruins could uncover some legendary treasures, but for a sword of the Slay-Immortal Sword's caliber to appear, this is indeed a first," Luo Tiance said with a bitter smile. Always poised, he seemed to continuously reveal an unfamiliar side in front of his grandson.

"Eh... what kind of treasures have you seen come out of the ruins, Grandfather?" Luo Yu was a bit curious about the ruins.

"The State-Defending Divine Sword in grandfather's hand, the Bronze Awakening Pillar you recently cracked open, as well as the Energy Storage Jade Pendant and the Huanling Pearl you carry on your body are all from the ruins, not to mention some of the famous magical weapons of recent lore." Luo Tiance explained, "For instance, Gan Jiang, Mo Ye, Tian Wen, Long Yuan, and the Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix Spear among others..."

"In the right hands, these magical treasures can exert terrifying effects, offering an immense increase in battle power."

"Hmm," Luo Yu nodded, "It does sound quite interesting."

Luo Tiance's mouth twitched slightly.

Ordinary people would react excitedly and enviously when they hear about legendary magical weapons, but this guy took it as casually as discussing what to eat for dinner tonight.

However, taking a glance at the Slay-Immortal Sword still in this young man's hand,

Alright then,

he indeed had the capital to look down on those magical weapons.

Luo Yu began, "Grandfather, all these are known on the surface, but is it possible that many people in secret have obtained even stronger treasures and simply never used them, keeping them as hidden aces up their sleeves?"

"There surely are. A truly wise man does not show off a treasure at first acquisition but hides it away to spring a surprise," Luo Tiance narrowed his eyes, "According to the intelligence I know, several families are hiding real Divine Artifacts."

"What Divine Artifacts?" Luo Yu asked curiously.

"Have you heard of Ban Tian Yin?" Luo Tiance said.

"Hmm."

"One family is hiding that thing. That old guy thinks he's hidden it deep, but I discovered it long ago," Luo Tiance laughed casually, "But what does it matter if other families have treasures, as long as they don't harm Great Xia, they aren't enemies to us."

Luo Yu chuckled, "Grandpa, if other families all have treasures to hide, surely our family can't be completely destitute."

"If I say we have nothing, would you believe me?" Luo Tiance glared.

"I don't," Luo Yu shook his head, "With so many Ancient Ruins resurfacing over the years, I don't believe grandfather came away empty-handed."

"It just depends on whether Grandpa is willing to tell me," Luo Yu blinked.

"Scram!" Luo Tiance's mouth twitched, "You already have the Slay-Immortal Sword in your hand, and you still covet the treasures Grandpa has kept hidden away?"

"Just curious," Luo Yu smiled.

"If you're more filial to Grandpa, then perhaps I'll consider passing them all to you in the future."

"Hey, am I not filial enough?"

"Filial, you're about to filial me to death," he said.

Seeing the confidence with which Luo Tiance joked, Luo Yu's mind stirred. After witnessing his own Slay-Immortal Sword, to still exhibit such confidence, could it be that Grandpa actually hid a top-tier legendary treasure?

"Stop guessing, you'll know soon enough if you get the chance," Luo Tiance laughed, patting his shoulder and suddenly showing a look of regret, "It's a pity, a pity that you only have the Slay-Immortal Sword. You know, according to the legend, the Heaven-reaching Sect Leader controlled the Four Slay-Immortal Swords that could form the eternal number one killing formation, the Slay-Immortal Sword Array."
