Devata Artifacts had souls. The souls were called artifact souls. Since they were born from Devata Artifacts, they were called natural souls as well.

As for Celestial Weapons and Celestial Supreme Treasures, they did not possess souls. It could only seal living beings who would then become 'souls' of the weapons or treasures.

For example, Elder Huo was sealed in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. That was how he became the pagoda soul of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He was known as what was called an extraneous artifact soul.

Although an extraneous artifact soul was not born naturally from a Celestial Weapon or Treasure, it would not be able to leave until the owner of the weapon or treasure removed the connection between the soul and the weapon or treasure it was bound to.

On the other hand, natural souls were able to come and go freely. They could leave the artifact they were born from and roam around the world unfettered.

Devata Artifacts and Celestial Weapons or Celestial Supreme Treasures might seem similar, but they were in completely different leagues. The former was far stronger than the latter.

This could be seen from how Elder Huo, the pagoda soul of the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, instinctively feared Sword Soul Kuang Ling of the artifact, the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword.

Elder Huo gasped when he figured out who Sword Soul Kuang Ling was. The dread and fear in his eyes intensified when he looked at Kuang Ling again. "Y-You're Lord Kuang Ling from the Solitary Destructive Heaven?"

"It seems like you've heard of me," the red-clad young man, who was also the sword soul of the Devata Artifact, the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword, said calmly.

"You're the soul of the number one divine sword in every Devata realm, how can I possibly not know who you are?" Elder Huo smiled wryly.

Was there anyone in the Devata realms who had not heard of the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword, the number one divine sword?

"The number one divine sword in the Devata Realms?" Kuang Ling narrowed his eyes when he heard Elder Huo's words. He shook his head as he said, "It seems like you've left the Devata realm for quite a while now. Many years ago, I fought with the soul of the Yuan Huang Xuanyuan Sword, and our fight ended in a draw. Ever since then, there's no longer a number one divine sword in the Devata realms! There are only two great divine swords in the Devata realms!" A hint of emotion could be heard in Kuang Ling's voice when he spoke. He was originally the number one divine sword in the Devata realms, but another divine sword had caught up to him. Moreover, the other party's potential was far greater than his. If he did not get stronger, the other party would eventually surpass him.

"The Yuan Huang Xuanyuan Sword?" Elder Huo was shocked when he heard Kuang Ling's words. Was it the Yuan Huang Xuanyuan Sword that Gongsun Xuan from the Jade Emperor Heaven possessed? From what he knew, the Xuanyuan Sword was only a Celestial Weapon. How could it become a Divine Artifact?

"If I'm not mistaken, Gongsun Xuanyuan and the Yuan Huang Xuanyuan Sword he possesses are also from the Jade Emperor Heaven!" Kuang Ling said.

"Yes." Elder Huo nodded quickly when he regained his senses. He felt overwhelmed when Kuang Ling confirmed the Yuan Huang Xuanyuan Sword he had spoken about was the same Xuanyuan Sword that he knew!

Elder Huo did not expect something so shocking would transpire after he left the Devata realm. Not only did the top Celestial Weapon, the Xuanyuan Sword that Gongsun Xuanyuan possessed, would transform into a Devata Artifact, but it was evenly matched with the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword, the number one divine sword in the Devata realms. It was even known as one of the two great divine swords in the Devata realms.

"You must be curious about why I came to this small mundane realm, right?" Kuang Ling suddenly asked.

Elder Huo nodded. Indeed, he was extremely curious about this.

The strength of the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword, the former number one divine sword in the Devata Realm, was not affected how powerful the Yuan Huang Xuanyuan Sword was. Kuang Ling, the sword soul of the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword, and its owner were famous throughout the Devata realms. Although Elder Huo was not surprised that a powerhouse at Kuang Ling's level could appear in a mundane realm, he was curious about why such a powerhouse would appear in such a small mundane realm. For someone like Kuang Ling, the sword soul of this Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword, it would be easy to rip through space and move between the Devata realms and the mundane realm.

"I came here because of the current owner of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda," Kuang Ling replied.

Elder Huo could not help but gasp when he heard Kuang Ling's words. He instinctively extended his Divine Consciousness to a purple-clad young man.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of what was happening in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. At this moment, he and the other four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect were standing opposite the people from Black Kshetra Sect.

The two great Karmapas and people from Black Kshetra were glaring at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent.

The atmosphere turned tense immediately. The tension between the people from Fire Worship Sect and Black Kshetra Sect felt palpable. It was as though a fight would break out at any time.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of wind whistling in the air reverberated in the air as two figures flew out from the Fire Worship Sect and stood behind Duan Ling Tian and the other four Guardians.

"Guardians, we're here to help!" The two figures belonged to the two Vice Sect Leaders of Fire Worship Sect. As soon as they finished speaking, they turned to look at the two Vice Sect Leaders of Black Kshetra Sect.

The two great Karmapas and Sect Leader of the Black Kshetra Sect remained calm even when the two Vice Sect Leaders of Fire Worship Sect appeared. They did not care about the Vice Sect Leaders of Fire Worship Sect at all since their presence would not affect the outcome of a fight between powerhouses at or above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

The other two Vice Sect Leaders of Black Kshetra Sect, on the other hand, sighed in relief. If the two Vice Sect Leaders of Fire Worship Sect did not appear, they would have to fight the five Guardians of Fire Worship Sect who were at or above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Just the thought of fighting the Guardians sent chills running up their spines.

Duan Ling Tian remained calm even though it seemed like a fight might break out. It seemed as though he would remain calm even if a mountain were to collapse in front of him. He had walked out ostentatiously even when Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of the Black Kshetra Sect, was here. Why would he be flustered by these people?

Since Duan Ling Tian had come here, he was also prepared for the worst-case scenario if Tang Xuan decided to hand him over to the people from Black Kshetra Sect. He had come up with a plan that revolved around the greed of Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect.

Based on the fake announcement Lang Qian Jin had made previously, it was obvious he was highly interested in Super Saint Weapons. Duan Ling Tian knew Lang Qian Jin's interest did not lie with the Devilseal Tablet based on the promise he had made to Tang Xuan earlier. He was clearly interested in the Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword.

Compared to the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, that could only kill specific opponents, most people, like Lang Qian Jin, would, naturally, choose the Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword, that did not discriminate between its opponents.

'If Tang Xuan decided to hand me over, I would use Lang Qian Jin's greed to lure him into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda! At that time, Elder Huo would be able to kill him. As long as he's dead, there's no need for me to fear the Black Kshetra Sect!' This was Duan Ling Tian's plan when he found out Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, had come looking for him. He believed Lang Qian Jin would be eventually lured into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda even if he had his doubts due to his greed! He would not be able to resist the temptation of the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda! Even if Lang Qin Jian was extremely wary and did not dare to recklessly enter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he would be unwilling to kill Duan Ling Tian immediately.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian had fearlessly walked out of the Fire Worship Sect with Tang Xuan and the four Guardians to meet the people from the Black Kshetra Sect. He was a little guarded when Lang Qian Jin was here. However, now that Lang Qian Jin was gone, he was not afraid even if he had to face all the powerhouses from the Black Kshetra Sect alone.

"Guardian Zi Feng, Guardian Qing Huo, Guardian Hong Yun, Guardian Leng Ying." At this moment, the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect looked at the four great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect as his eyes gleamed maliciously. He ignored Duan Ling Tian completely. "I hope four of you won't intervene in the matter between the Black Kshetra Sect and Duan Ling Tian today! Otherwise, I won't be able to guarantee your safety!" The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect spoke confidently as though he was certain of his victory.

Leng Ying threw his head back and laughed when he heard the words of the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned. He wondered where the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect got his confidence from.

The others were surprised as well.

Was the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect so certain of his victory?

Although there were two powerhouses at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage Eighth from the Black Kshetra Sect who were much stronger than Guardian Zi Feng from the Fire Worship Sect, the Fire Worship Sect still had Guardian Ling Tian after all!
