Inside the Blade Wind Mountain Range, Mo Jian and everyone else had gathered. Apart from him and those working on the weapon, his parent and the sect elder were also present.

Looking at the imposing weapon standing over ten meters high in the distance, all the elders spoke in low voices among themselves.

"How did the young master develop such a crazy idea?" a female elder couldn't help asking in genuine shock.

"Indeed, it is a crazy idea, but I can't wait to see its power," another elder replied.

"Just looking at it makes me shiver."

"You're right. I can't imagine an artifact could be this big."

The Sect Master and his wife watched the elders discuss with excitement. Beside him, his wife could not help but whisper.

"Our son is growing stronger with each passing day, and his talent becomes more profound." Her voice was laced with pride.

"You're right. This is the first time I've seen or heard of a weapon that could kill a Nascent Soul powerhouse," the Sect Master mused, his voice a blend of disbelief and pride.

Although he thought it would be impossible for any weapon to kill a Nascent Soul powerhouse, he did not discourage his son. He knew Mo Jian was trying to protect their region from such power.

Against a Nascent Soul powerhouse, their region would be at the mercy of that force. Therefore, as long as the weapon posed even a slight threat to a powerhouse, that would be enough.

"Sect Master, what do you think about the weapon? Do you think it poses a threat to a powerhouse?" Supreme Elder Zhao turned and looked at the Sect Master.

This was the major question on everyone's mind, and when they heard the Supreme Elder asking, they could not help but look at the Sect Master.

The Sect Master did not respond immediately. This was his son's creation, and he did not want to look down on his son's effort.

Likewise, he did not want to give the people false hope.

"Although I don't know how powerful this weapon is or how powerful a powerhouse is, this is what I do know…" He paused, trying to gather his thoughts.

"Nascent Soul powerhouses are terrifying because they have begun to comprehend the mysteries of the world, touching the boundary of the laws. Therefore, I don't think it will be that simple for a mere weapon to kill them."

"Nevertheless, that does not mean the weapon would not pose a threat to them. But to kill them—I don't think that is possible," he concluded, and many people nodded in agreement.

Supreme Elder Zhao nodded in agreement. "I agree with the Sect Master. Laws are beyond mortal reach, not to talk of mere weapons. But the Sect Master forgets something…"

Hmm?

Everyone looked at him with confusion. The Sect Master's explanation had covered a great deal. What could the Sect Master have forgotten?

"Supreme Elder, please enlighten us," the Sect Master said calmly.

"Ah, it's quite simple. This weapon would have been meaningless if our continent had a complete rule of law. But it does not. All the powerhouses are experts beyond the Golden Core realm, comprehending even the faint traces of law."

"Without the world's law, how can a powerhouse channel his full power?" he asked.

For a moment, everywhere was quiet.

Since they had visited the central region, they were no longer ignorant of many things.

"The Supreme Elder is right," the Sect Master's wife said. "With our continent cut off from the world's law, the powerhouses have not yet comprehended a complete law."

"At best, their law would be at a rudimentary level. Therefore, they can still be affected by mortal weapons."

While the Sect Master and Supreme Elder were discussing, the weapon assembly was complete.

"Everyone, the weapon is ready," Elder Bai announced, drawing everyone's attention.

"This is just a test. We are doing this to see how powerful the weapon is and whether it can be used against powerhouses. Also, to check if there are any problems." Mo Jian stepped forward to announce.

"I would advise everyone to seal their ears," he added, before he looked at Elder Luo Zhen.

Elder Luo Zhen nodded and moved to activate the weapon.

The moment the weapon activated, a deep humming sound erupted from deep within. Everyone's eyes were fixed on it, their faces filled with anticipation.

In less than two seconds, a deafening concussion erupted from the weapon, and a yellowish beam shot out from the turret.

The ground trembled with a powerful vibration.

Boom!

The yellowish beam struck a massive mountain five kilometers away. Instantly, the mountain vanished from existence, but the devastating attack of the beam did not end. For a ten-kilometer radius, everything was destroyed—mountains reduced to fine dust, and a deep fissure appeared on the ground.

The ground trembled as if it were an earthquake, and powerful shockwaves rushed outward.

"This—" Looking at the incoming shockwaves, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Retreat!" the Sect Master commanded.

Quickly, everyone retreated at top speed. Their eyes widened, their faces filled with lingering fear.

Mo Jian and everyone stopped outside the Blade Wind Mountain Range before they could escape the shockwaves.

"That's terrifying…" an elder muttered.

Everyone nodded.

The Sect Master could not believe his eyes. The receding dust and the tremors were evidence of the carnage that had just occurred.

"How could it be this powerful?" he muttered.

Mo Jian stood with a prideful smile. Beside him, Elder Bai Delan, Elder Luo Zhen, and Elder Han Gan were also smiling with pride.

For the disciples, they were still reeling from their fear.

"Let's go," Mo Jian said, and walked into the mountain range.

Inside the mountain range, dust and debris were everywhere. When they arrived near the weapon, it was covered by a protective formation.

"Elders, please check if there is anything wrong with the weapon," Mo Jian said.

The three elders nodded and quickly began to inspect the weapon. Now, with the devastating result, they could not help but feel pride.

"Sect Master, what do you think about the weapon?" Supreme Elder Zhao asked with a bright smile.

Listening to Supreme Elder Zhao's question, the Sect Master wore a wry smile.

"This power is beyond anything I've ever seen."

Now, he was entirely convinced.

Against such a weapon, every powerhouse would need to be very careful.

But when he thought the weapon could protect their region, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across his face.
