A spectral spear, its might reaching to the four cardinal directions!
A mere phantom of a spear materialized before the assembled crowd. Ye Xuan, at this moment, clearly found himself intrigued.
"Ding! Host triggers a random mission: Subdue the [God Slaying Spear] soul and merge it with the Sky Breaking Thunder Spear. Reward: 10,000 Haotian Coins, plus 100,000 Mid-grade Immortal Crystals!"
As Ye Xuan calmly observed the unfolding situation, the system's voice reached his ears.
10,000 Haotian Coins? 100,000 Mid-grade Immortal Crystals??
This was quite interesting!
"God Slaying Spear soul?"
Ye Xuan asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice, and then called out, "You Nai, what's the origin of this spear soul?"
"You Nai scanning..."
At Ye Xuan's mental command, You Nai quickly scanned and replied in a sweet voice, "Master, this is the soul of the [God Slaying Spear]. This spear was originally the weapon of the God of Slaughtering Heavens in the God Realm. However, while he was entering the chaotic realm's passage, he was ambushed and surrounded by dozens of God Emperor powerhouses. Ultimately, the God of Slaughtering Heavens shattered himself, killing several God Emperors of the same cultivation level. After that battle, the body of the [God Slaying Spear] turned to dust, and only its soul, aided by a wisp of the God of Slaughtering Heavens' will, escaped the God Realm..."
Hoo~~
Hearing You Nai's explanation, Ye Xuan was taken aback. My goodness, this spear soul had such a grand origin. However... judging by its current might, it had likely suffered immense power loss after many battles. Even so, it still exerted a significant pressure on him, which spoke volumes of its strength in its prime!
"For fortune, kill!"
"Battle to the end!!"
Yet, under the oppressive aura of the God Slaying Spear soul, the numerous Dao Ancestor powerhouses did not retreat. Instead, their eyes gleamed with fierce determination. Thousands of powerhouses above the fifth-rank Dao Ancestor surged forward, their momentum capable of destroying heavens and earth. After all, there were no less than several dozen powerhouses above the ninth-rank Dao Ancestor among them. This battle was destined to be earth-shattering!
"Insects, how dare you covet my essence!"
"Die!!"
Instantly, the God Slaying Spear soul unleashed its boundless soul power, transforming into a colossal spear that blotted out the sky. With a single strike, hundreds of Dao Ancestor powerhouses were sent sprawling, with over a hundred perishing on the spot. Among them, the strongest was a peak eighth-rank Dao Ancestor.
Gulp~
With one strike, a hundred Dao Ancestor powerhouses were eliminated, including a peak eighth-rank Dao Ancestor!
"So powerful!!"
The Tong Bei Ape watched the spectral spear soul in the sky, its eyelids twitching wildly. Damn it, to think such a strange and potent entity existed in this world.
"Insects, let you witness my true strength."
"[God Slaying Spear Technique - Spear Shatters the World!]"
The next moment, the God Slaying Spear soul's spear intent, as if fueled by potent elixirs, instantly soared to an extreme. Following this, an incredibly solid, thousand-zhang giant spear descended from the void, crashing towards the thousands of Dao Ancestor powerhouses. Its speed was instantaneous, leaving them no time to react.
BOOM!!!!
A world-ending tremor shook the ground with the impact of a single spear. The earth instantly cracked, sending rocks and soil flying. Several unlucky fifth-rank Dao Ancestors were impaled through the heart and killed by the debris. Spear qi erupted, sweeping across the heavens!
However.......
After this single strike, as the spear qi dissipated, even Ji Changkong's pupils constricted. "A formidable entity! If one could obtain this, it would undoubtedly be an unimaginable combat force!"
Nevertheless, the battlefield's toll was clearly horrific! Of the thousands of Dao Ancestor powerhouses, only a little over fifty remained after the second move. These remaining individuals were all peak eighth-rank Dao Ancestors at the weakest. All those below the eighth-rank Dao Ancestor had fallen on the spot. As for the over a hundred previously injured Dao Ancestor powerhouses, they too were severely wounded, clearly having vastly underestimated the might of the God Slaying Spear soul.
However, after such a strike, the God Slaying Spear soul's phantom had visibly dimmed.
"That thing is weakening, strike!!"
With crimson eyes, the fifty-odd Dao Ancestor powerhouses, their human greed fully exposed, launched their ultimate attacks towards the spear soul.
"You all, seek death!!"
Instantly, the God Slaying Spear soul unleashed another 'Spear Shatters the World.' With this single strike, the fifty-odd Dao Ancestors were reduced to a little over ten. Among them, three leading ninth-rank Dao Ancestor powerhouses perished. This demonstrated the immense power of the God Slaying Spear soul, though its condition was evidently worse than before.
Pfft~
Pfft, pfft, pfft~~
The remaining ten-odd Dao Ancestor powerhouses all coughed up blood. At this very moment, the God Slaying Spear soul flickered, and with its next strike, it eliminated all but six Dao Ancestor powerhouses. These included an ultimate peak eighth-rank Dao Ancestor, four ninth-rank Dao Ancestors, and one peak ninth-rank Dao Ancestor. With this move, the God Slaying Spear soul had clearly weakened further, almost to the point of transparency.
"Vile humans, after hundreds of thousands of years of recuperation, all is destroyed in an instant!"
"Die!!"
The God Slaying Spear soul's emotions were highly agitated. It unleashed another move, taking down the remaining six Dao Ancestor powerhouses in one go.
Clap, clap, clap~~
At this moment, a group of people rapidly approached the scene. The one applauding was a talented young man named Wu Yue, the son of the Prince of Cang Yu Prefecture, the young lord of Cang Yu Prefecture. His cultivation was at the third-rank Void Ancestor, and his combat power far surpassed others of the same rank. He had entered the Cang Yu Secret Realm under the personal protection of his maternal grandfather, Lei Zang.
Lei Zang was no ordinary person. Not only was he Wu Yue's maternal grandfather, but he was also an ancestor of the Purple Thunder Palace, possessing the cultivation of a peak ninth-rank Dao Ancestor, not too far from becoming an Immortal. As Lei Zang appeared, his peak ninth-rank Dao Ancestor aura surged through the void, directly locking onto the God Slaying Spear soul in the distance. Clearly, they intended to reap the benefits of others' efforts.
Behind them were five ninth-rank Dao Ancestors and thirty eighth-rank Dao Ancestors. These were evidently powerhouses from the Purple Thunder Palace and the Cang Yu Prince's Mansion, here to help Wu Yue find opportunities.
"My, my, this is the spear soul that has been hidden in my Cang Yu Secret Realm for countless ages!"
Wu Yue's eyes burned with desire as he gazed at the scene. As the most outstanding genius of the Cang Yu Prince's Mansion in ten thousand years, his future was destined to make him the ruler of Cang Yu Prefecture. With sufficient fortune, it was even possible for him to ascend to the imperial throne of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom in the future. If he could have the assistance of this spear soul before then, his chances would undoubtedly increase significantly!
"Yue'er, wait patiently. Grandfather will help you subdue this spear soul!"
As the words fell, Lei Zang was about to make his move when Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed. "Hong Yu, act."
Ye Xuan said to Yu Hong Yu by his side. The reason for this was that Ji Xuanyuan had already arrived. Although he himself could eliminate Lei Zang and his party, his primary concern was to guard against the God Slaying Spear soul.
"Yes, Master."
Following this, Yu Hong Yu cast the 'Magical Hands Empty Pockets' technique on the God Slaying Spear soul. Before the spear soul could react, Ye Xuan directly unleashed his temporal power to immobilize it. Thus, the God Slaying Spear soul found itself beside Ye Xuan and his companions. Ye Xuan immediately stored Mo Xuanyou and the others, including the Tong Bei Ape, into the Exquisite Pagoda. After all, they held the Cang Yu Secret Key, which was why Ye Xuan dared to be so bold.
Upon seeing this, Lei Zang, the ancestor of the Purple Thunder Palace, his face turned frigid, and killing intent filled the void. "Presumptuous! To dare snatch something before my Lei Zang, you seek death!!"
