Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 461: Repairing the Silver Immortal Sword

Ti slipped by.

Deep in the magma cavern, Jiang Chen's pale look had faded—his "injuries" were mostly nded.

Not far away, Lu Yi sat cross-legged, working hard on the aura-hiding art. Bit by bit, he was closing in on Great Accomplishnt.

By now, his next fusion refresh should be close, Jiang Chen thought. He won't have many good treasures left on him. That ans the gains won't be huge.

And if needed, I can burn through his fusion counts myself. He kept his eyes shut, pretending to focus on healing.

Sure enough, before long, Lu Yi's fusion counter reset.

Hehe, ti to power up again. Lu Yi's eyes lit up as the system prompt rang in his head. He stopped practicing and reached for his storage artifact.

Too bad… no high-grade stuff this ti. Just so Nirvana Peering-level odds and ends. Still, better than nothing.

While Lu Yi sorted through his resources, Jiang Chen caught the excitent on his face. He gave a quiet laugh.

"Done with your practice already? If you're free, lend a hand with repairing my weapon. We can't risk being found."

"Ah? Oh—yeah, sure." Lu Yi blinked, then nodded quickly, rembering the promise he'd made earlier.

"I don't have any treasures on ," Jiang Chen lied without blinking. "If you've got so, lend them to for now. I'll pay you back later."

"How about this—you and Ying Luo give a bit of true dragon blood essence?" Lu Yi leaned forward, still trying to squeeze so benefit out of him. "If I use it to repair the weapon, it'll end up more suited for you anyway."

He already had the Saint Demon Heart, a Primordial Chaos-level bloodline, but if he could fuse it with true dragon blood essence, his strength would soar for a ti.

"No chance." Jiang Chen's expression hardened. "Dragon blood essence is tied to one's very foundation. It's not sothing you waste on a weapon."

"Tch, fine." Lu Yi threw up his hands. "Give the immortal sword, then."

"Here." Jiang Chen passed him the Silver Immortal Sword.

Lu Yi turned it over in his hands, eyes widening. "This sword is strange. It doesn't carry a trace of killing intent—just peace and vitality."

"It was forged to save lives, not to fight," Jiang Chen said with a shrug. "But it's all I've got, so it'll have to do."

"I see… so the world really does hold all kinds of wonders—a sword ant for saving lives." Lu Yi nodded, then straightened. "The thod I'll use next isn't sothing others should watch. So, no peeking, alright?"

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. "Do I look like the kind who would?"

"Of course not, of course not." Lu Yi laughed awkwardly, waving his hands as if to erase the suspicion.

What he didn't know was that Jiang Chen had already seen through him. The so-called "secret thod" was his real trump card, a heaven-defying advantage.

Lu Yi dug through his storage artifact and pulled out two Nirvana Peering-level materials. With a sharp breath, he placed them alongside the Silver Immortal Sword and locked everything down with his divine sense.

System, fuse these three targets! he ordered in his mind.

Ding!

[Perfect fusion complete. You have obtained the upper-grade Nirvana Peering-level immortal tool: Silver Immortal Sword!]

At the system's prompt, the Silver Immortal Sword inside the storage artifact burst with dazzling light. The cracks sealed themselves in an instant, the transformation clear to the naked eye.

Within monts, the sword stood whole again—restored to the upper-grade Nirvana Peering level.

"Done. It's repaired." Lu Yi handed the sword back with a smug grin.

Jiang Chen's eyes went wide, playing up his surprise. "What!? Already? And it's reached upper-grade Nirvana Peering quality? How in the world did you pull this off? Incredible!"

"Haha, that's my secret." Lu Yi puffed up with pride, then lowered his voice a notch. "But Jiang Chen—you can't tell anyone about this."

"Of course. I swear, not a word will leave my mouth," Jiang Chen said with solemn conviction.

A system like Lu Yi's was far too extraordinary—so secrets weren't ant for others to know.

"I trust you." Lu Yi nodded and handed the Silver Immortal Sword back.

"Thanks." Jiang Chen accepted it, running a hand along the blade with clear satisfaction.

A sly glint flashed in his eyes. "So… without even using spirit jades, you managed to fix my weapon this well. But earlier you said with spirit jades, the result would be even better—enough to raise it to Nirvana Cleansing rank, right?"

"Uh…" Lu Yi froze, then gave a stiff nod. "Yes. That's true."

Once said, there was no taking it back.

"Hahaha! You really are full of surprises." Jiang Chen laughed, looking more than pleased.

In one stroke, he hadn't just restored his weapon—he'd burned through one of Lu Yi's fusion chances and drained a pile of his resources.

And better yet, he'd just cornered Lu Yi into making a promise.

If Jiang Chen ever handed Lu Yi spirit jades in the future, he might end up with an even stronger weapon in return. Maybe not exactly a profit—but definitely not a loss.

Truly, killing three birds with one stone.

On the other side, Lu Yi shut his eyes and started burning through his five remaining fusion chances.

First, the cultivation thods. The Cleansing Breath Restraining Aura Precious Art is already at great accomplishnt—if I fuse it with my other techniques, its effects should grow even stronger.

With that in mind, he locked onto the three cultivation thods he'd been practicing: the Howling Thunder Nirvanic Inferno Blade Technique, the Cleansing Breath Restraining Aura Precious Art, and the Red Cloth ridian Spirit Book.

The mont he gave the order, the system's prompt chid in.

The fusion of his three techniques gave birth to a new art—the Limitless Nirvana Mysterious Sun Scripture. Though still classified as a Nirvana Peering-level cultivation thod, it had already reached Great Accomplishnt and carried a strength brushing against the Nirvana Cleansing realm.

Its power was far beyond what the originals could offer.
