Seeing that the giant sword Emperor Weapon actually responded, Chu Feng felt a pleasant surprise stir within him. Although all Emperor Weapons possessed a degree of spiritual awareness, this was the first time Chu Feng had ever seen one react so obviously — even attacking on its own initiative.
This kind of situation could be summed up in one word: remarkable.
"I'll give you two choices. Either submit to me obediently and serve my purposes, or let me teach you a proper lesson first, and then you submit." Chu Feng addressed the giant sword Emperor Weapon, believing it could understand his words.
Whoosh— Yet the moment Chu Feng finished speaking, the giant sword charged at him once more.
"How interesting." At that, Chu Feng smiled again and said calmly, "Looks like you've chosen the second option."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh— Chu Feng then leapt into the air, and the Coiling Dragon's Rage Slash in his hand transformed into streak after streak of silver-light blades. Each silver blade howled as it swept upward, resembling a silver dragon — or more like a ferocious beast intent on shattering and tearing apart everything in its path.
No matter how powerful the giant sword Emperor Weapon was, it was ultimately just an Emperor Weapon. Without someone to wield it, its strength was naturally limited. How could it possibly withstand such a ferocious assault from Chu Feng?
After all, in the present day, among eighth-tier Martial Emperors, Chu Feng was already virtually unmatched.
In a short while, the giant sword Emperor Weapon was driven back step by step. Its massive blade trembled more and more violently, emitting an incessant, ear-piercing hum.
In the end, the giant sword Emperor Weapon simply kept trembling without launching any further attacks. The killing intent from before was gone, and even its overwhelming Emperor's might had completely vanished.
At this point, Chu Feng ceased his assault and narrowed his eyes, staring at the giant sword Emperor Weapon as he asked, "Now — will you submit to me?"
Yet upon hearing these words, the giant sword Emperor Weapon showed no reaction at all, as though it had not heard Chu Feng's question, choosing silence instead.
"It seems you still want me to teach you another lesson before you're willing to concede." A wicked grin tugged at the corner of Chu Feng's mouth, and once again the Coiling Dragon's Rage Slash in his hand began to swing.
This time, Chu Feng did something far more than simply wield the Emperor Weapon known as the Coiling Dragon's Rage Slash. Between heaven and earth, the sky darkened as a terrifying aura emanated from the Coiling Dragon's Rage Slash.
That aura actually formed an illusory image across the sky — a savage beast, part tiger, part leopard, stretching hundreds of meters long and brimming with horrifying power.
It was a Heaven-restricted Martial Art — one that Chu Feng had only just mastered, and was performing for the very first time. This technique had been passed down to him by Qingxuantian.
Hum hum hum hum— Whether the giant sword Emperor Weapon sensed Chu Feng's overwhelming power or recognized the martial art itself, it began trembling with extraordinary intensity, so much so that even the surrounding space was affected by it.
Finally, its trembling began to subside — but at that moment, the giant sword started to shrink. From a colossal being that stretched into the heavens, it condensed into a blade roughly two meters in length.
Once the sword shrank, the gate surrounding Chu Feng dissipated as well. Although the Emperor Weapon had not yet recognized Chu Feng as its master, it was clear that it no longer harbored any hostility toward him.
In other words, it no longer dared to hold any hostility toward Chu Feng. Chu Feng had conquered it with his own strength.
After the giant sword shrunk, Chu Feng could see it more clearly. The blade truly had no hilt — it was a broken sword. But being broken did nothing to diminish its power.
The rich aura of antiquity and the indomitable arrogance radiating from it made this Emperor Weapon stand apart from all others. It was far superior to Chu Feng's Coiling Dragon's Rage Slash — not by a small margin, but by an overwhelming degree.
This was truly a top-grade treasure among Emperor Weapons. Chu Feng even believed that if this Emperor Weapon were complete, it could surpass ordinary Emperor Weapons entirely.
