Lin Chen’s eyes twinkled with coldness as he swept out a dense fog with a wave of his hand, obscuring the view outside the formation so that the outside world couldn’t see what was happening within.
Then, Lin Chen took out the magical treasures and magical treasure fragments he had picked up earlier.
"Sister Yu, Miss Yao, please hand me the treasures you have collected earlier," he said to Yu Weilian and the others in a calm tone.
Although Yu Weilian and the others did not understand Lin Chen’s intentions, they still complied and handed over the treasures they had collected under the protection of the human-shaped puppets to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen gathered all the materials and took stock of them. There were about three hundred treasures, including fifty treasured swords, which comprised thirty Heavenly Level Mid Grade treasured swords and twenty Heavenly Level Lower Grade treasured swords.
These swords had weakened in power due to long-term wear and tear, so Lin Chen needed to refine them.
Lin Chen intended to refine these flying swords into complete pieces and refine them into his own flying swords. Only through refining could the magical treasures be manipulated at will.
Magical treasures that are refined are much easier to wield effectively.
The Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique that Lin Chen practiced had made his Soul Power extremely strong, so refining fifty flying swords was no problem for him.
Additionally, due to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, it seemed that there were no restrictions on Lin Chen for refining treasures with the Primordial Transformation Art he practiced.
Lin Chen summoned the necessary materials from the space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and arranged them before him.
After that, he set up a Spirit Array around him to assist in the artifact refining process.
Yu Weilian and the others were astounded upon seeing this. Lin Chen was actually going to refine swords in such a situation.
However, they were unaware that Lin Chen’s confidence in confronting Zhou Yuan partly stemmed from his Seven Killings Sword Array.
Although Zhou Yuan was powerful, he still fell short compared to the Green-Haired Giant Elephant Lin Chen had previously defeated.
The power of the Seven Killings Sword Array was sufficient to defeat the Green-Haired Giant Elephant, so as long as Lin Chen had enough treasured swords, he could continue to use the Seven Killings Sword Array to battle his enemies. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel~fire~net
Previously, Lin Chen destroyed eight flying swords while defeating the Green-Haired Giant Elephant. He was no longer satisfied with using ordinary Earth Grade flying swords, as that would waste his Spiritual Power and be ineffective in confronting strong opponents like Zhou Yuan.
Therefore, Lin Chen planned to refine the fifty flying swords before him for use in battle.
The Seven Killings Sword Array was not limited to just seven flying swords. Although Lin Chen could currently only manipulate seven flying swords, the Third Layer of the Seven Killings Sword Array, Myriad Swords to the Sect, could control countless flying swords.
However, Lin Chen was not yet at that level. If he could manage seven Heavenly Grade flying swords, even in limited numbers, they would be sufficient to eliminate Zhou Yuan.
If that wasn’t enough, Lin Chen could summon another seven flying swords.
Over two days, Lin Chen repaired all the treasured swords. This shocked everyone from the Divine Flame Sect, and they didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.
For them, watching Lin Chen refine artifacts was both enjoyable and educational.
Even though they might not understand Lin Chen’s methods, repairing fifty Heavenly Grade flying swords in two days seemed like a miracle to them.
Even for the elders of the Divine Flame Sect, being able to repair a single Heavenly Grade flying sword in two days was an incredible feat.
After all the flying swords were repaired, Lin Chen did not continue repairing other magical treasures but immediately began refining these flying swords to prepare for the upcoming battle.
While Lin Chen was refining the flying swords, Zhou Yuan sat not far from the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation, cultivating while vigilantly observing Lin Chen’s direction.
The disciples of the Bodhi Hall had handed over more than forty magical treasures to Zhou Yuan, and upon his questioning, Ning Yuanxuan revealed that every so often, Skeleton Frames would emerge from the lake and move toward the shore.
Ning Yuanxuan divulged that before Zhou Yuan and his party had arrived, nearly three hundred Skeleton Frames had emerged during the battle between Lin Chen and Ning Yuanxuan, all of which were defeated by Lin Chen.
This news inflamed Zhou Yuan’s greed; he resolved to kill Lin Chen no matter what, whether out of hatred or covetousness for the treasures Lin Chen possessed.
Zhou Yuan declared that whoever helped slay Lin Chen would share in the spoils. This promise instantly excited everyone, each desiring to bring Lin Chen to his demise.
Meanwhile, they were also waiting, hoping for more Skeleton Frames to emerge from the lake.
In the meantime, Zhou Yuan and the other disciples killed some Skeleton Frames that emerged from the bottom of the lake, including one with a strength equivalent to the Third Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.
It took Zhou Yuan and the disciples considerable effort to eliminate it.
Lin Chen, in the process of refining flying swords, had observed everything happening outside the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation.
Although Zhou Yuan and his people couldn’t see inside the formation, Lin Chen and his group could clearly see everything happening outside.
The hardships Zhou Yuan and his people went through in killing the Third Layer realm Skeleton Frame made Lin Chen even more certain that Zhou Yuan’s strength was nowhere near that of the Green-Haired Giant Elephant.
With a smile on his lips and fifty swirling flying swords around him, Lin Chen was now ready for the imminent battle.
