Chapter 1927 Opening the Knife
Sponsored Content
Black-Moon King stood quietly on top of the mountain . He drew out a knife .
Han Sen thought a King class knife would radiate, but the knife in his hands did not . This was a knife that was narrow like a crescent moon, but it was black, and it did not reflect a speck of light . It was as dark as the night .
Han Sen looked at the knife and figured that it was probably only about three feet long . He wondered why it would have to be ground and sharpened on a mountain-sized whetstone .
Black-Moon King had not added the finishing touches yet, so he put his hand on the mountain . And then, the yellowish mountain produced waves of water . The waves rose at the bottom of the mountain and surged up towards the top, headed for the peak . They gathered atop the peak, and atop a rock there .
That rock had a deep groove, and when the water waves reached it, they poured down into it .
Black-Moon King stood in front of the watery stone . He held two knives and looked very serious . It looked as if he wasn’t holding two knives, but instead, two sacrifices .
The black blade was planted on the rock by Black-Moon King . The knife was fifteen degrees away from the rock, and at that angle, he began to grind it .
When Han Sen was in the Alliance, he became interested in blacksmithing . He wasn’t, however, interested in forging knives . Z-Steel products had to be refined to make them sharp, although beast soul weapons needed nothing of the sort .

But creating a knife and refining it in the geno universe was different . A weapon that had been created from xenogeneic materials could fix itself . That was, assuming it hadn’t been too badly damaged . But overall, there was no need for maintenance and refinement . They looked after themselves .
This was the first time Han Sen had seen a xenogeneic weapon being created . While he wondered what the point of the refinement was, a light sparked between the knife and the whetstone .
That light was as warm as the sunrise . When you looked closely, the black blade had teeth marks on it .
Black-Moon King continued refining the knife, his movements slow and methodical .
The grinding was like the moaning of a newborn baby .
Han Sen was shocked . This was obviously not as simple as refining a Z-Steel blade, so Han Sen was glad he had come to watch the event .
Everyone watched intently as Black-Moon King continued grinding the knife . No one spoke, as they were worried they might interrupt his focus .
On its third pass over the whetstone, the black knife began to glow with a strange light . It looked like a jagged moon rising . The warm and clear light was coming down, and it gave the onlookers a chill . Everyone felt like they were naked under the glare of that light, and they imagined it had shaved off all their hair .

After the fourth pass, another tooth appeared on the moonlike knife .
Every time Black-Moon King ground the knife against the whetstone, a moon-tooth rose . They were small to begin with, but a full moon soon started to take shape . And then, a broken moon . And then, it disappeared .
The moon above the mountain kept changing . A lot of cold moonlight came down . It was like Narrow Moon and the moonlight were interacting with each other .
It was hard to see when the moon and the shadows combined . It was like the whole world only had the knife and the moon left . It made people feel as if they were intoxicated .
The grinding sounds reverberated in the audience’s ears . Every time the knife scraped across the stone, moonlight came down from the sky to imbue the knife with a greater brightness .
From dark to bright, from bright to dark . The strange scene began to fade, and the knife was sharpened . There was no more knifelight to observe . It was black, like absolute darkness .
At this time, Black-Moon King pulled the knife away from the whetstone . It seemed to have been finished .
The water waves on the mountain got smaller and smaller, and disappeared . The mountain returned to its yellow color . Han Sen felt strange about this, and he thought, “Has he finished grinding it?”

As Han Sen was thinking about this, Black-Moon King began walking down the mountain with the knife . He walked in front of the pavilions that Han Sen was watching from .
Han Sen could feel nervousness rising from the Kings around him . Maybe there was some excitement; either way, it all seemed so strange .
“Moon Wheel, can you open the spirit of this knife?” Black-Moon King held the knife in both hands as he bowed sincerely before Moon Wheel King .
Moon Wheel King stood up and said, “If I can open the spirit of this knife, I would consider it an absolute honor . ”
After that, Moon Wheel King exited the pavilion and walked with Black-Moon King . He accepted the knife from him carefully . Rebecca and Du Lishe watched their father go to open the spirit of the Narrow Moon blade . They looked excited, as the other Kings looked disappointed .
Black-Moon King handed the knife to Moon Wheel King . With great seriousness, he said, “Please use your Moon Wheel powers to open this . ”
Everyone was in shock, and Han Sen had no idea what was going on, so he just watched intently .
Moon Wheel King nodded and took the blade in his hands . His body began to glow with moonlight . Black-Moon King fell back to the pavilion .
Han Sen looked at Moon Wheel King . He had heard Moon Wheel King was as strong as Yisha, but Han Sen didn’t really know much about him . And when Han Sen spoke with him, he didn’t seem remarkable at all . He was like your average, middle-aged man .
But he was now holding that prestigious knife, tasked with unearthing the knife’s power . He was basking in the elegance of radiant moonlight . He was like an angel that had just come from the sky, and not a single speck of dust could ever fathom touching him .
The moonlight floated into the black weapon . Its body soon lit up .
It was not quite shining, as it was just moonlight . There was no sign of fire, but it felt gentle . It was quiet and warm . Bzzt!
Everyone’s knife began to buzz . They all wanted to hop out of their scabbards .
Han Sen looked at Ghost Teeth Knife . It did not make any noise, but it looked hostile . It didn’t seem to be fond of its same kind .
The moonlight started to get colder and colder, and all the knives in Narrow Moon were crying . It was as if they were really welcoming the birth of a new King .
But Han Sen’s biggest point of interest did not rest with the King class weapon . It was all about the power Moon Wheel King had inserted into it . Moon Wheel King’s power was pure, unlike Yisha’s . Moon Wheel King’s power was soft . It did not feel intimidating, and it would be easy to ignore .
Han Sen didn’t dare underestimate that power, though . In fact, he felt more alert than usual .
But the reason Han Sen focused on Moon Wheel’s power was not because he was strong; it was because the power reminded him of Moon, the geno art Yisha had given him .
