"What do you mean?" Darren asked, frowning.
However, the cold voice didn't explain any more. Darren felt the list and aura of the materials transfer into his mind and then he watched as the voice vanished into nothing.
Before he could so much as gasp, the scene in front of him had changed dramatically. He was teleported to a black land.
On top of the black land, a thin fog danced. Darren peeled his eyes but he could only see a dozen feet ahead of him. He couldn't spread his god's sense at all.
"Twelve kinds of divine iron, seven kinds of fusion crystals, and three kinds of weak water." These were the materials Darren needed to find.
It was a short list, but Darren had no idea how to find them in the vast land.
Walking on the black land, Darren felt extremely desolate. All around him, the air was mingled with extremely malicious aura and killing aura.
"Where the hell am I?" Darren muttered.
After walking for a long time and seeing nothing, Darren stumbled upon a group of graves in all sizes.
'Is this an ancient graveyard?'
Passing through the graves, Darren found piles of bones and broken weapons on the ground.
'This sword is so weird!' Darren paused to examine a dark red, broken sword on the ground. Immediately, he felt a murderous intent rush into his mind.
Out of curiosity, Darren bent down to pick up the sword.
As soon as he touched the broken sword, a large shock blasted through him and he shot upright.
A bolt of dark red lightning had pierced through his heart.
"Argh!" Darren cast aside the broken sword and backed away with his heart hammering against his rib cage.
'This sword has killing intent that is like lightning! I can't touch it!'
After that, Darren flew just above the ground because he didn't want to accidentally touch anything on the ground. The further he flew, the more bones and broken weapons he saw.
'I get it now. The materials I need must be among these broken weapons.
But what kind of people are qualified to use the level-nine weapons?'
Darren gritted his teeth slightly. Even if he could find the broken level-nine weapons to get the materials, he might not be able to pick them up!
After searching for a long time, the road began to get thinner and thinner. Eventually, it led to a vast, deep valley.
He discovered that there were not a lot of bones piled up there. Instead, there were a dozen dead people in armor.
As Darren looked at them, he felt the sky and the earth spinning as if something was going to crush his soul.
'These people must have been very powerful when they were alive!'
Scattered all around the dead people were fragments of weapons. But these were different from the weapons that were left behind in the other places. These fragments were shining brightly, without any traces of erosion.
'What? These weapons are the Starry Divine Iron, the Cold Moon Divine Iron, the Sea Fury Divine Iron...' Darren couldn't believe what he was seeing. These weapons were exactly what he was looking for. And in addition to that, there were many pieces of divine iron of which he could not tell the aura.
'How could it be so easy to find them?' There was no way he could find them in only a few hours and pick them up without any trouble.
"It's not that simple." Darren recalled the last words that were uttered by that cold voice. 'He told me that I would definitely die in here. There must be something dangerous.'
Darren stood still, releasing his god-level blade and sword intents, trying to roll over the fragments he needed with his god's power.
But none of them budged. Whenever his god's power would get close to the fragments, it would be swallowed up by something and vanish without a trace.
'I could try going down there but if I get too close, I will be beaten to nothingness by some unknown force.' So Darren remained floating above the ground, looking down at the weapons with hungry eyes.
What Darren needed to do was to find out the way to get those fragments.
'Use fiend power!'
With excitement pouring through his veins, Darren quickly activated the Nine Changes of the Demon and turned into a fiend, releasing fiend power.
But like before, when the fiend power touched those fragments, it disappeared without a trace.
'How strange.' Darren continuously released fiend power, but it didn't work.
