Inverse Sword Mad God

"Won't intercept? Is what you said true?"

Hearing this, the elders of the Divine Bird Palace appeared excited.

"Of course, the Dragon Ball is an ownerless object. Whoever wants to take it can have it, I won't interfere."

"Hmph, it's good you know your place!"

The elders of the Divine Bird Palace snorted coldly, then quickly stepped forward, rubbing their hands, preparing to seize the Dragon Ball.

They had been waiting impatiently, originally a bit apprehensive about the Snow White Monkey and its wand, as the other party could control the Dragon Ball.

But now, the other party said they wouldn't interfere, which delighted them immensely.

"I'll go!"

An elder from the Divine Bird Palace stepped forward.

This elder had gray hair, and judging by his cultivation, he had reached the Sixth Layer Heaven Venerate.

He gazed at the Dragon Ball ahead, feeling a thrill, finally waiting for his turn to strike.

The disciples of the Divine Bird Palace cheered as well.

"With the Seventh Elder making a move, it's wonderful!"

"Yes, the Seventh Elder is a powerful Sixth Layer Heaven Venerate; he is sure to take the Dragon Ball!"

"When the Seventh Elder gets the Dragon Ball, I can't wait to see that kid's expression!"

"He'll probably be devastated, seeing such a good treasure disappearing before his eyes. Anyone would feel bad about it."

"He totally deserves it. I'm quite impatient to see his expression."

A group of disciples from the Divine Bird Palace sneered sarcastically.

Meanwhile, people from the Immortal Martial Academy and Happy Forest were whispering softly.

"Is Lin Xuan overestimating himself? That Dragon Ball, being ownerless, might be powerless even if strong, don't you think?"

"Not necessarily, since it's something left by a king. Who knows what consequences might occur?"

"Indeed, let's watch first."

Hearing the discussions, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a faint chilly smile.

He was curious to see who would end up crying!

The Seventh Elder of the Divine Bird Palace took a step forward, a powerful surge of Spiritual Power erupted from within him. Behind him appeared a shadow of a Three-headed Bird, resounding across the Nine Heavens.

Moreover, the Seventh Elder extended his palm, forming a massive purple claw in midair, reaching for the Dragon Ball.

The purple claw, made entirely of thunder and lightning, was terrifying, even causing some cracks in the Void Palace.

Soon, the massive claw enveloped the Dragon Ball.

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were lifted, most of the Divine Bird Palace people staring deadly at the Snow White Monkey to prevent it from acting.

The Snow White Monkey chirped twice, casting a disdainful glance, hugging the wand in its arms without moving a bit.

Seeing the Snow White Monkey not taking action, the people from the Divine Bird Palace visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Seventh Elder also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then once again surged a force, making the above purple claw shine even brighter.

The next moment, he grasped the Dragon Ball.

"What? It's caught!"

This scene stunned everyone around; they didn't expect the Dragon Ball to be so easily caught.

Even the Seventh Layer Venerate from Happy Forest and Zhao Xue furrowed their brows slightly.

The people from the Divine Bird Palace laughed wildly.

"Hahaha, finally got the Dragon Ball!"

"So great! This is something left by a king, incredibly helpful to us."

"Indeed, truly God assists our Divine Bird Technique, we will flourish greatly, perhaps even advance to become a King Family."

The people of the Divine Bird Palace were full of expectation, extremely arrogant.

The Seventh Elder also looked excited. He hadn't expected to seize the Dragon Ball so easily.

He trembled his arm, wanting to withdraw the Dragon Ball.

But in the next moment, the joy on his face vanished, replaced by a look of fear.

"No!"

The Seventh Elder screamed shrilly, looking terrified as if he had encountered something dreadful.

"What happened?"

Hearing this cry, everyone was shocked and looked over.

They saw the giant claw of thunder and lightning in the sky rapidly shrinking, then disappearing.

And the Seventh Elder's arm also quickly shriveled away, finally turning into a white bone.

Moreover, this corrosion continued, and soon his shoulder also appeared as white bone.

"No!"

The Seventh Elder retreated in terror, but couldn't change this situation.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, his eyes showing resolve, quickly cutting off the entire arm.

Only when the arm fell to the ground did his body stop corroding.

Having done this, the Seventh Elder of the Divine Bird Palace panted heavily, a look of fright on his face.

He had almost turned into a pile of bones.

Thinking of this, a wave of fear surged in his heart, and his face turned grim, because without his right arm, his combat strength would greatly decrease.

The disciples of the Divine Bird Palace were stunned, their expressions full of horror.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could the Seventh Elder be injured?"

"Yes, that's a Sixth Layer Heaven powerhouse! How could he be injured? No, I don't believe it, this must be a dream!"

The pupils of the Divine Bird Palace went crazy, unable to believe it.

The surrounding people began to discuss quickly.

"Looks like that Dragon Ball is not so easy to obtain after all."

"Even a Sixth Layer Heaven Venerate couldn't obtain it, almost countered and killed, this Dragon Ball is truly terrifying."

"Indeed, as something left by a king, it's extraordinary. Even though uncontrolled, its instinctive counterattack is not something a Sixth-Realm Venerate can withstand."

"Yes, maybe only a Seventh Layer Heaven Venerate might have a chance."

The disciples of Happy Forest whispered.

The disciples of Immortal Martial Academy, however, sneered, not having much fondness for the Divine Bird Palace previously, when conflict almost occurred between the sides. So now seeing this, they were naturally pleased.

"Hmph, without the strength, don't boast of how taking the Dragon Ball is as easy as pie. In the end, you get a slap in the face!"

"Not only were they slapped, but they also lost an arm and almost lost their lives. The disgrace is significant."

"They asked for it, and Brother Lin had already warned them, yet they didn't listen, even thought Brother Lin was sinister. Now they know, too late!"

"Exactly, Brother Lin was kindly trying to help them get the Dragon Ball, but they stubbornly disbelieved. If they have the guts, they should never seek Brother Lin's help again!"

The students of the Immortal Martial Academy mocked, while Elder Song and others were silent since Lin Xuan was their academy's genius disciple, so in their hearts, they were inclined to support Lin Xuan.

Hearing these discussions, the other martial artists fell silent, looking at Lin Xuan, their expressions uncertain.

Previously, they thought Lin Xuan was being greedy, trying to monopolize multiple treasures—absolutely reprehensible.

But now it seemed, he really had the qualification, because the Dragon Ball was simply too frightening, not something ordinary people could obtain. Even a Seventh Layer Venerate might not have full certainty.

But Lin Xuan was different; with the wand in hand, having a connection with the Dragon Ball, could play a crucial role.
