You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"Fifth, aside from refining the Primordial Divine Power from the Empress, I also need to think of every possible way to enhance my own strength... such as truly mastering a few suitable Semi-Divine Artifacts..."

Thinking of this, Lin Yue suddenly flipped his hand and took out the Divine Artifact Battle Saber.

The pale silver Divine Artifact Battle Saber shimmered with a star-like luster, and within it was an aura of infinite implications.

"I can now study the Infinite Path, and as long as I achieve even a fraction of the Infinite, I can wield the Divine Artifact with even more power using the Ultimate Path, which would also allow me to attempt a deeper recognition as its master, unleashing the true capabilities of the Divine Artifact."

Whether a Divine Artifact or a Semi-Divine Artifact, they can be attuned to simply by imprinting one's Divine Thought.

But generally, only the basic, superficial abilities can be utilized, and to unleash the true deep abilities, one must understand the underlying principle and complete the trial.

Of course, at a glance, Divine Artifacts might not seem much stronger than Semi-Divine Artifacts. However, Divine Artifacts inherently contain Divine Power, and even without mastering the same principle, they can exhibit their basic abilities. Moreover, the true might of a Divine Artifact can only be fully utilized after Proving and Transcending; that is the greatest difference.

However, what makes Divine Artifacts more special is the 'complete attunement,' which is to say, full integration, becoming a part of oneself.

To fully attune this Divine Artifact Battle Saber, it seems that one must wield it until death in battle.

As for what is so special about full attunement, that remains to be seen.

"The Infinite Path..."

Lin Yue carefully sensed the infinite implications contained within the Divine Artifact Battle Saber, using the saber as his guide, he began to comprehend and study it earnestly.

Standing at the height of the Ultimate Path, he could already contemplate such lower, Heavenly Reversal Path principles, let alone with a Divine Artifact as his guide.

With sufficient time, familiarity and understanding would naturally lead to mastery.

Especially this Divine Artifact Battle Saber, which he had wielded so many times, he was already well-versed in its infinite implications; now he just needed to delve into and analyze them.

Such a pure, slaughter-oriented Divine Artifact must possess incredibly astonishing true abilities.

...

Before he knew it, half a month had passed.

"So that's how it is..."

As Lin Yue walked through the courtyard, a slight smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips.

He sheathed the Divine Artifact Battle Saber he had been carrying on his back, took a step forward, and suddenly turned into two identical figures. With another step forward, two figures became four; one more step, and four turned into eight...

By the time he walked through the courtyard, it was filled with his figures.

Then, they all dissipated into nothingness.

"Infinite... indeed, it is one of the fundamental essences of heaven and earth..."

Lin Yue seemed to have gained some insight.

At both the micro and macro levels, one could find traces of the Infinite Path; it is a uniquely Heavenly Reversal Path, and very few have ever comprehended it.

Fortunately, he had the Divine Artifact as his guide, or he wouldn't know how many years it would take to master even the rudiments.

"What trial is there?"

Lin Yue flipped his hand and took out the Divine Artifact Battle Saber again, carefully sensing the will within the artifact.

After a while, he raised an eyebrow slightly, "Is this the trial for deeper recognition as master?"

The trial was simple.

An Infinite Path-based slaughter-oriented Divine Artifact seeks endless killing, and the trial is no different—

Within one hour, use this saber to personally slay three thousand beings of the same tier.

Three thousand?

Lin Yue couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "I need to make a trip to Eternal Night."

For the average cultivator, even if they had glimpsed the rudimentary form of the Infinite Path, this trial would probably seem daunting.

After all, even for a Great Cultivator of the Seventh Layer of the Tianxia Building, who could slaughter common Demon Kings and Beast Kings as if cutting grass, there isn't enough mana to kill dozens or hundreds—after all, mana would be exhausted, and it takes time for Immortal Pills to restore it. Are you supposed to prepare dozens or hundreds of Immortal Pills?

Not to mention, gathering three thousand beings of the same tier is even more difficult, and to personally slay them within one hour is outrageous.

It's worthy of being a Divine Artifact's trial.

Even with the strength of the Eighth Layer of the Tianxia Building, it would require many Immortal Pills and to find a sufficient number of counterparts to possibly complete the trial.

"I still need to make a trip to Eternal Night."

After pondering for a long while, Lin Yue didn't waste any more time and immediately left the Prince Mansion.

...

Great Yong Divine Formation outer perimeter, northern area.

An eternal veil of night pervaded the land, occasionally dispersed for an instant by lightning that streaked the sky, illuminating the landscape of the Eternal Night Land.

At this moment, in this region, one could hear the urgent and chaotic roar of countless beasts, accompanied by the thunderous sound of exotic beasts running and wings flapping. It seemed as if all the savage beasts were anxiously and eagerly rushing in the same direction.

"What's going on?"

A white-haired elder wearing python robe stood in the air, frowning tightly as he watched the herd of beasts madly rushing through the night.

As the leader of the northern region stretching for thousands of miles outside of Great Yong, this was also his first time witnessing such a spectacle.

He suddenly had a premonition and guessed a possibility,

"Could it be... Nine-colored Beast Breath?"

Other than some Heaven and Earth Treasures born within Eternal Night, only the unique secret technique "Nine-colored Beast Breath," held by the Imperial Family of Great Yu over a thousand years ago, could attract mutant beasts in such a frenzy.

"Let's take a look."

The white-haired elder's body immediately shone with radiant spiritual light as he transformed into a beam of light and hurriedly followed.

Although he was not a Heavenly Demon Saint, with mastery over three paths and a set of exquisite Spiritual Treasures, he was confident in escaping even if he encountered a Heavenly Reversal Saint.

Following the direction the mutant beasts rushed in, after flying for about eight thousand miles, the white-haired elder finally saw the source that attracted the mutant beasts.

It was a figure exuding a black glow, clearly the Nine-Colored Beast Breath Cultivation Method.

The aura, however, was only at the ordinary Saint Level.

The white-haired elder slightly reassured himself and immediately turned into a beam of light and flew over to test the situation.

However—

"Boom!"

He didn't even see what the figure had done, only caught a glimpse of a flash of silver light before a vast and boundless river of starlight burst forth out of nowhere. Accompanied by the roaring Sword Intent, it swept toward him!

"This... impossible..."

The white-haired elder was completely dumbfounded. Just sensing the star river's might formed by the Sword Intent, he had already descended into utter despair.

The gap... was too large!

In front of this starlight river, his once proud strength was utterly meaningless!

In an instant, the starlight river swept over, shredding both his body and Primordial Spirit into dust, vanishing without a trace.

"There are actually Demon Saints coming to seek death."

Lin Yue calmly glanced over, put down the Divine Artifact Battle Saber, and continued operating the Nine-Colored Beast Breath Cultivation Method.

Occasionally changing positions to lead the mutant beasts he attracted from various places to the same spot.

After an indeterminate amount of time.

The open space not far from him was already filled with a dense swarm of mutant beasts, with ordinary beasts in frightening numbers, almost like an ocean.

"It should be about time to wrap this up."

Lin Yue sensed the Exotic Beast Ocean nearby, with nearly four thousand Beast Kings.

—This was his method of facing the challenge of the Divine Artifact Battle Saber.

There weren't so many Demon Kings, nor was it possible to kill three thousand Human Clan Great Cultivators, there simply weren't that many.

Thus, he could only attract a sufficient number of mutant beasts and Beast Kings from the periphery of the Great Yong Divine Formation.

Three thousand Beast Kings, that was already the majority of mutant beasts in the northern outer region of Great Yong.

He should also thank the Demon Clan for driving large groups of mutant beasts into the periphery of the Great Yong Divine Formation from various parts of Eternal Night to increase the difficulty of exploring the Dawn Platform; otherwise, it would not have been easy to gather so many Beast Kings.

"Get ready to commence the slaughter."

Lin Yue gripped the Divine Artifact Battle Saber in his hand, then flipped his hand to take out an Immortal Pill, placing it into his mouth in advance.

...

Sword light tore through the dark night, blood-drenched the starry river.

The terrifying river of starlight surged out over and over again, each time directly erasing a large swath of the mutant beast ocean as easily as dusting off dust.

After some time, the river of starlight finally began to recede.

Thousands of Beast Kings and innumerable ordinary mutant beasts had been reduced to mere dust.

"It's over."

Lin Yue dispersed the Nine-Colored Beast Breath Cultivation Method, then tore through the Void and left.

Arriving at a quiet mountain peak, Lin Yue carefully examined the Divine Artifact Battle Saber in his hand and immediately received a message from within the saber.

"Divine Artifact name... Infinite Starry Sky."

"The real ability is..."
