Chapter 1633: Chapter 586
The divine artifacts of the Divine Realm are indeed the weapons specifically designed to enhance the combat power of Deities, and of course, even within the Divine Realm, finding a suitable weapon is by no means an easy task.
The existence of divine artifacts can indeed provide considerable help to Deities, but first of all, a divine artifact does not simply increase a Deity’s combat power immediately upon acquisition. In fact, if we really talk about it, for a Deity of the Divine Realm to find a suitable weapon is a million times more difficult than for martial practitioners of the Lower Realm to find their suitable weapons.
If martial practitioners of the Mortal World want a weapon, they can easily get one made at any blacksmith’s shop. Even if they want a better weapon, it’s just a matter of forging with some higher quality ores.
Even so-called divine artifacts on the Main Plane at present are actually just weapons forged from some special materials, which result in weapons that inherently deal some damage. Such weapons, if placed in the Divine Realm, would really be only fit to be regarded as kitchen utensils.
In the Divine Realm, any divine artifact in the hands of a Deity contains certain rules. The rules that a Deity cultivates will dictate the type of rules their divine artifact can contain. Otherwise, even the most impressive divine artifact, placed in the hands of a Deity with incompatible rules, can only be treated as a collectible.
Even with the same rules, there are distinctions, and the higher the compatibility with the weapon in hand, the greater the power a divine artifact can exhibit when wielded by a Deity.
Therefore, not all Deities in the Divine Realm possess divine artifacts, and only existences at the level of Gods start to strategize on acquiring a suitable weapon.
Most of the Deities in the Divine Realm usually craft their weapons by themselves. They model them based on the ores they find and continuously replicate their own rules into them. Although such a method of forging is time-consuming and exhausting, and it is impossible to produce weapons that surpass the Deity’s own powers, it cannot be denied that such forged divine artifacts will have a perfect compatibility with them.
Zhou Tian does not have the conditions to forge weapons for himself – firstly, he lacks the tens of millions of years necessary to engrave the rules into the weapon, and secondly, the materials to forge divine artifacts are not easily obtained in the Divine Realm. In the Main Plane, how difficult would it be for Zhou Tian to collect enough suitable materials?
Hence, due to these difficulties, Zhou Tian has been making do with those pseudo-divine artifacts all along, even though he already possesses combat power nearing that of a Heavenly God. However, his Equipment could be considered far inferior to even those of the Pseudo-Gods of the Divine Realm.
Zhou Tian originally didn’t care much for such artifacts; as long as he possessed enough Cultivation Level, he could take whatever he wanted from the Divine Realm even if he were to go there naked.
However...
While it might not be too difficult for Zhou Tian to get what he wants from the Divine Realm, clearly, all of this is only possible after he arrives there. At the very least, in the Lower Realm, Zhou Tian is still Zhou Tian – even when facing Enemies with Powerful Strength, he would still have to rely on his fists in a Hard Fight.
But now, while the poor Zhou Tian has been feigning with his pseudo-divine artifacts in Enemy Battle, he suddenly learns of the existence of a Treasure he can utilize, and it’s impossible for him not to be tempted.
With some luck, Zhou Tian might be able to gain more Time Rule Power from that Treasure, and with further Advancement in his rule cultivation, he might just grow into a Heavenly God.
And even if he isn’t that lucky, he can still gain a weapon that is a fair match for him, and with that Treasure, Zhou Tian’s Combat power would certainly improve by a lot. By then, even if Zhou Tian’s Cultivation Level remains the same, his Threat to those Ancient Powerful Beings would greatly increase.
When that time comes, Zhou Tian’s mere 20-30% confidence in overcoming the Ancient Forces will surely soar, and although it’s not to say he would definitely defeat those Ancient Powerful Beings, with at least a 60% chance, Zhou Tian reckons he ought to be able to conquer those Ancient Forces and plunder their Collections.
Just thinking about the many benefits of seizing that Treasure excites Zhou Tian. And precisely because he would gain so many benefits from obtaining that Treasure, when the idea arose in his mind, Zhou Tian couldn’t suppress his thoughts any longer. Despite knowing there were Enemy Traps ahead, he still chose to take the risk and attempt to seize it.

Thus, the opposing side’s plan wasn’t flawed at all, as they had set up their formation and presented Zhou Tian with a Bait he couldn’t refuse. Knowing full well the Danger he would face, Zhou Tian still felt obligated to take the risk and try his luck at that moment. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
This time, Zhou Tian did not plan to engage in a Hard Fight with the Ancient Powerful Beings; the most important objective of his Action was to figure out how to snatch that Treasure from them. As long as he could get his hands on the Treasure, Zhou Tian would have achieved his goal. Once his power increased substantially with the Treasure, even knowing how daunting the Enemies were, Zhou Tian could still face them with ease.
