Chapter 340: Demon God Spear! Immortal Severing Sword! (5k6)



High above the mountains, in the sky's expanse.

A streak of red light swiftly passed by.

Escape! Hurry and escape!

A figure in red official robes, their face filled with terror, as if the reflection of a golden-patterned black-robed figure lingered in their pupils.

When did the Human Race produce such a powerful being?

In the blink of an eye, the companion beside him, holding a Demon Deity artifact, was blasted to pieces.

Then, with the strength of one, he matched eight Demon Race top-ranks and even cleaved the Heavenly Palace in two with a single strike!

Is this still a Celestial Immortal?

At this moment, his mind was filled with only one thought: to escape as quickly as possible.

If he didn't hurry, he might not make it out alive!

Whoosh!

Almost as soon as this thought crossed his mind.

A streak of light suddenly burst forth from behind him, unstoppable in its momentum, instantly piercing through his body.

Boom!

A massive burst of blood blossoms exploded from his chest.

His face instantly paled, but a hint of joy flashed across his features.

For the weapon that had pierced him was none other than that bronze spear, a Demon Deity artifact! He had fled in such haste that he dared not retrieve the spear from the battlefield, choosing to leave in panic.

Never did he imagine that at this moment, this artifact would return to his grasp! Perhaps the Human Race thought it was just an ordinary weapon!

Good, good, good!

Since it's like this, with this artifact, the situation will turn around, and who knows who will kill whom!

He gripped the spear that had pierced his body, ignoring the pain as he forcefully pulled the bronze spear from his flesh.

Fresh blood gushed forth like a fountain, and his face turned even paler.

But his expression grew calmer as he held the bronze spear, his gaze sweeping the surroundings with malice.

As soon as he found that Human Race trace, he would activate the Demon Deity artifact in his hand without hesitation!

At that moment, whoever it was, unless the Immortal Severing Sword itself arrived, would die here!

"Get out here!"

After scanning the area fruitlessly and sensing no trace of the Human Race, his eyes flashed with rage, and he roared in anger.

Boom!

Just then, a fiery blade light exploded above his head, instantly engulfing him in a torrent of flames! It was as if a hole had torn open in the heavens, and fiery flames rushed towards the ground.

On the earth below, a heavy object seemed to have fallen, followed by a series of violent tremors.

"Cough, cough!"

In the deep pit, the Demon Race minister's body had been cleaved in half, leaving only the torso above the chest and abdomen.

He clutched the bronze spear tightly, ready to use his remaining strength to activate the Demon Deity artifact.

But just then, the figure in the golden-patterned black robe stepped forward, grabbed the other end of the bronze spear, and exerted an overwhelming force.

The minister's shoulder, still attached to the spear, was torn from his body.

He looked at the figure before him with a hint of despair and weakly asked, "Who are you?"

There was no response.

As the sound of wind rushing filled the air, his consciousness plunged into darkness.

Qin Zheng stood over the remains of the Demon Race minister, and with a simple reach, he collected the demon core into his storage.

If there hadn't been any other Demon Race invasions elsewhere, this should have been the last one.

Thinking of this, his expression turned slightly solemn.

This time, the Demon Race had mobilized such a massive force!

Including the two top-ranks heading to Town Ning City, a total of twelve top-rank Celestial Immortals had been deployed! Even the top-ranks of the Human Race might not have anticipated such a large-scale invasion.

This battle had forced the intervention of the Free Spirit Immortal Lord and the Demon Subduing Holy Monk.

It had also left these two Human Race top-ranks severely injured, and even Celestial Tower City had fallen to the Demon Race.

The invading Demon Race forces had been completely annihilated by Qin Zheng, but it was uncertain if the Demon Race would continue to mobilize more troops to invade the Human Race.

These matters would be discussed with the other top-ranks upon his return.

With these thoughts, Qin Zheng withdrew his consciousness and lightly shook the spear in his hand.

Boom!

Instantly, the Demon Race limb clutching the other end of the spear shattered into a spray of blood.

This weapon seemed extraordinary, as both his intuition and the Demon Race's reaction upon obtaining it suggested.

These observations were enough to indicate this.

But since the Virtue Scroll didn't provide any information, he could only bring it back for the other Human Race top-ranks to inspect.

Qin Zheng considered this, ready to retrieve the spear and return to Celestial Tower City.

But just then.

Buzz!

The bronze spear suddenly vibrated with clear light, struggling intensely as if a divine object had come to life, awakening.

The intensity of its struggle was such that even Qin Zheng's strength couldn't hold it in place.

After a brief stalemate, the spear broke free from Qin Zheng's grasp, soaring into the air, its light blazing! In Qin Zheng's eyes, a blurry, indistinct figure slowly emerged from within the bronze spear.

Instantly, a domineering aura of disdain for all things in the heavens and earth emanated from this figure.

It was as if this figure stood above all else in the heavens and earth.

A Demon Deity!

The realization exploded in his mind.

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed, and without time to think, he took a step back, reaching for the Nine Heavens Radiant Sun Blade.

Simultaneously, within his Inner Domain, countless Dao Tree leaves fluttered, ready to fall, and his aura soared to its peak! And the figure that had emerged from the bronze spear turned its gaze towards Qin Zheng, and with a calm voice, said, "Human Race?"

Without waiting for Qin Zheng's response, he scanned the surroundings, as if understanding what had transpired.

With a light laugh, he said, "A mere Earth Immortal with the power to slay top-rank Celestial Immortals, you must be the Human Race's variable."

"Given your talent, I'll offer you a chance to join the Demon Race. I'll personally cleanse your bloodline."

"Otherwise, you'll die here today!"

Qin Zheng stared coldly, unable to discern the figure's true appearance.

But this wasn't the true body of a Demon Deity!

So, as the Demon Deity finished speaking, Qin Zheng stepped forward, instantly standing before him.

As the Flaming Great Saber slashed through the air, the Great Dao Tree within his Inner Universe shed its leaves, which fell like rain.

"Too much talk!"

A thunderous boom reverberated as the saber cleaved through the air, filling the heavens and earth with its mighty blade light.

"Then I'll have to put an end to you!"

The Demon Deity's shadow smiled faintly, reaching out to grasp the Bronze Spear, and swung it like a raging dragon.

The saber and spear clashed, creating a deafening roar that shook the very foundations of the world.

A dazzling light, intense and pure, surged forth like a tidal wave, spreading in all directions.

In the distant Ten Thousand Mile Green Mountains, at a small courtyard nestled halfway up the mountain, a man continued to diligently sharpen the wooden sword in his hand.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, lifting his head to gaze at the far-off Human Race territory, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of knocking echoed from outside the courtyard, immediately drawing the man's attention from the distant horizon to the courtyard's gate.

"Come in," he said calmly.

The courtyard gate swung open, revealing a tall and robust man and a petite girl.

Both figures were enveloped in a dense and powerful demonic aura, far surpassing that of ordinary demons. The man's aura was even stronger, while the girl's was slightly weaker.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill her?" the man asked calmly.

But the sky above the Ten Thousand Mile Green Mountains suddenly changed, with dark clouds gathering and thunder roaring. A strong murderous intent instantly locked onto the girl outside the gate.

The girl's face paled slightly, but she maintained her composure.

The man burst into laughter, casually waving his hand as if it were no big deal. "It's just an incarnation, so killing it is no big deal."

"Moreover, if she can experience life and death, it will help her advance beyond the Celestial Immortal realm faster."

The man looked at the man calmly.

After a few breaths, he put down the tool in his hand and said, "Come in."

The man laughed and stepped into the courtyard, saying, "I've brought this girl to learn chess from you."

The girl followed the man into the courtyard and sat down at a stone table, nodding politely as she spoke, "I'm sorry for the disturbance."

Her respectful tone was laced with supreme confidence. After all, the man before her was the greatest in the Spirit Ruins.

To play against him was to face one of the strongest in the world, and she believed she had already entered this elite circle.

A sword light flashed, and the smooth stone table suddenly transformed into a chessboard.

The man chuckled and placed black and white chess pieces in front of them, saying, "The child is young and inexperienced, so you should go easy on her."

The girl confidently reached out and grabbed a chess piece, placing it down almost instantly.

The game began! The man held the white pieces, seemingly without thinking, and every time a black piece was placed, a white piece followed suit.

At first, the girl could keep up, but soon her eyebrows furrowed, and she had to pause for a long time before making her next move.

The man didn't seem disappointed or annoyed by this; instead, he watched with a cheerful smile.

The peaceful scene resembled a gathering of old friends, but unbeknownst to them, two were demons and one was human, each harboring the desire to kill the others at any moment.

"You can't win," the man suddenly spoke up.

The girl raised her head, but the man's gaze wasn't directed at her.

The man beside her spoke up, "That Azure Steel Moon Shadow Spear has been with me for nearly a hundred thousand years, and the weapon spirit has already attained half my strength!"

"It can already be called a Demon God Spear!"

"And I've already prepared a countermeasure for the means you've given him."

"Moreover, outside the Spirit Ruins, that sword has already been used once, and its foundation has been depleted, unable to reach its peak state again."

"How can I not win?"

"Do you think that boy can break my Azure Steel Moon Shadow Spear without the means you gave him?"

The man didn't respond, merely smiling faintly and continuing to place his pieces.

The man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, remaining silent.

In the courtyard, only the sound of chess pieces moving filled the air.

At the same time, on the battlefield tens of thousands of miles away from Celestial Tower City, a four-mile-wide area had turned into a scorched wasteland.

A fiery blade light, surrounded by intense heat, suddenly appeared, and the spear also emitted a dazzling light.

In an instant, the saber and spear clashed thousands of times, unleashing a violent surge of energy that destroyed everything in its path.

Qin Zheng's face turned serious as he gripped the Nine Heavens Radiant Sun Blade, focusing on his opponent.

Although his opponent wasn't a true Demon Deity, their combined strength, likely surpassed that of a Celestial Immortal.

Even with the support of the Dao Tree leaves, Qin Zheng could only match his opponent's might, unable to gain the upper hand.

Qin Zheng pondered, knowing that defeating his opponent with ordinary means would be challenging.

"What, can't you handle it?" the opponent taunted, the weapon spirit of the Azure Steel Moon Shadow Spear, holding the spear and mocking Qin Zheng.

The weapon spirit's eyebrows rose slightly, and he continued, "Or do you need to use that Immortal Severing Wood Sword?"

A deafening sword hum suddenly echoed through the air.

A dazzling sword light, intense and pure, burst forth like a wild dragon.

In that moment, the weapon spirit's lips curled into a faint smile, and he swung the Azure Steel Moon Shadow Spear in his hand.

A piercing screech filled the air as the spear transformed into a divine bird, shooting forward like an arrow.

The sword light and spear shadow collided, sending shockwaves like a flood, cascading in all directions.

With the support of the Dao Tree, the sword's power surpassed the weapon spirit's expectations.

In the midst of the chaotic energy, the Azure Steel Moon Shadow Spear wavered, and the weapon spirit's expression changed.

But before he could react, a large hand pierced through the air, forming a fist imprint, and slammed down on his head.

The weapon spirit was sent flying.

Step by step, he was overwhelmed by the relentless attacks.

Each attack, resembling both Primordial Chaos and Heaven Splitting Earth Parting, relentlessly struck his body.

The spirit of the weapon was continuously thrown back by the relentless assaults.

How is this possible?! How can a human have such means?!

His heart screamed in disbelief.

However, under the continuous bombardment of Fist Seals, the fine cracks on the Azure Steel Moon Shadow Spear multiplied.

"Ah!! How dare you!!"

Peng!

He suddenly swung his long spear, breaking free from the continuous barrage of Fist Seals and fleeing even further back.

But just at that moment—

Hum!

Another Sword Hum echoed.

The moment the Sword Hum sounded, the weapon spirit's expression changed drastically.

"How can you consecutively activate a divine armament twice?!"

As he spoke, he immediately forced the Azure Steel Moon Shadow Spear to unleash an even more intense spear intent than before!

But when the sword light, filled with the power to destroy heaven and earth and the intent to exterminate all, surged forth—

The weapon spirit's expression instantly shifted from shock to terror.

This sword was even purer and more terrifying than the previous one!

Boom!

The spear shadow thrust by the Azure Steel Moon Shadow Spear was instantly overwhelmed by the flood of Immortal Slaying Blade Light.

The sword light then extended, cutting a ten-thousand-foot abyss into the earth and leaving a massive crack in the heavens!

After advancing to the peak of Earth Immortal, Qin Zheng had already been able to harness more of the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent!

Coupled with the enhancement from the Dao Tree Leaf, this combination was even more powerful than using the Immortal Severing Wood Sword!

However, this single sword strike also consumed an immense amount of Qin Zheng's mental and physical energy.

He felt as if he had been drained, and a long-forgotten sense of weakness began to surge within him.

But the opponent's condition was even worse.

Qin Zheng slightly adjusted his state and then stepped toward the faint shadow in the ruins.

In front of him, the Bronze Spear was already covered in cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"Who are you?!"

The weapon spirit, both weak and filled with anger, looked at Qin Zheng as he approached.

This human, merely at the Earth Immortal stage, had actually defeated him!

Such terrifying potential—if allowed to live, he would surely become a major threat to the demon race!

However, his question received no response.

Qin Zheng walked straight to the Bronze Spear, extended his hand, and pulled it out of the ground.

The shadow seemed to be so severely injured that it could no longer hold onto the spear.

This was for the best; by destroying this spear, he should be able to defeat the opponent!

Qin Zheng thought, and once again, a massive force surged from his hands, ready to snap the spear.

But at that moment, the space above his head suddenly rippled like a mirror, and a scene appeared before him.

"Boy, if you destroy this spear, you will die immediately!"

In the scene, a common courtyard was visible, with three figures: two men and one woman.

The large man glared at him viciously, uttering a threat.

A terrifying killing intent, despite the vast distance, instantly fell upon him.

"Cough!"

Qin Zheng coughed lightly, a trace of blood slowly appearing at the corner of his mouth.

A demon deity!

This was a true demon deity!

A mere thread of killing intent could harm him!

No demon below the Celestial Immortal stage could achieve this!

Qin Zheng raised his head and looked at the large man with a calm expression, a faint smile on his lips. "Try it yourself?"

As he spoke—

Peng!

The spear in his hand shattered into pieces.

"Bold!"

The large man suddenly flew into a rage and reached out toward Qin Zheng.

Instantly, a giant hand crossed the vast distance, emerging from the mirror-like space, aiming to crush Qin Zheng.

At that moment, the aura of the demon deity surged unrestrainedly through the heavens and earth!

Boom!

In an instant, the sky turned pitch black, heavy thunderclouds gathered, and the world was filled with boundless, raging killing intent!

And Qin Zheng, the first to bear the brunt, endured the terrifying pressure and killing intent, as if the heavens were collapsing!

His internal organs churned like a tumultuous sea, and his flesh and bones seemed to tear apart, his spine creaking under the pressure.

But Qin Zheng's expression remained calm.

The next moment, a large hand similarly emerged through the space, gripping the wooden sword from Qin Zheng's hand and gently thrusting toward the other hand.

Peng!

Like a balloon leaking air.

The overwhelming aura of the heavens instantly dissipated, and the large hand exploded, turning into a shower of blood that rained down upon the land.

"Wu Qingping!!"

A voice filled with extreme wrath echoed.

"If you don't want to die, stay quiet."

A calm voice responded.

The wooden sword returned to Qin Zheng's hand, one of the large hands was pierced and exploded, the other retreated into the void.

The world returned to normal.

But the scene still remained.

Qin Zheng could see that in the courtyard, the large man's entire right arm had exploded, his face filled with rage.

Another man looked at him calmly.

"Junior Qin Zheng, I greet you, Absolute Immortal Sword!"

Qin Zheng clasped his hands in greeting.

After seeing the imprint of the other in the Nine Sun Supreme Pagoda, this was the first time he met this legendary figure of the Spirit Ruins Realm!

"Very well done."

The man looked at Qin Zheng and nodded with a smile.

At that moment, the large man in the courtyard angrily said, "Wu Qingping, if we don't intervene, you won't either, right?"

The man nodded and said, "Of course."

"Good!"

The large man nodded and then looked at the girl he had brought, asking, "How confident are you in killing this boy?"

Qin Zheng's gaze also turned to the girl.

She appeared petite and gentle, but being able to accompany a demon deity and sit before the Absolute Immortal Sword, she was surely no ordinary person!

However, her gaze remained fixed on the chessboard on the stone table, not even glancing at him.

But after the large man spoke, she shifted her gaze to Qin Zheng.

Seemingly sizing him up for a moment, she then said calmly, with a hint of disdain, "Wash your neck clean, and wait for me to kill you."
