Chapter 35 Obtaining the God-Slaying Spear
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, a terrifying aura filled the air.
The god-slaying spear, entirely black and shrouded in chaotic demonic energy, hovered silently in mid-air.
It lacks the grandeur of the Tai Chi symbol, which suppresses earth, water, fire, and wind, and the sharpness of the Pangu Banner, which tears through chaos. Instead, it possesses only a pure and utterly despairing killing intent.
That was a terrifying power that dared to even break through the laws of Heaven!
"The God-Slaying Spear—"
As Kunpeng gazed at this legendary, ferocious weapon, his breathing quickened.
He never expected that losing the empty title of a disciple of a sage and the Primordial Purple Qi that might have been subject to the control of the Heavenly Dao would result in him gaining this supreme treasure of the Primordial World!
It should be understood that sages are immortal and indestructible, and reside in the void.
Ordinary innate treasures, even the Pangu Banner, can injure a saint, but they cannot destroy a saint.
Only this God-Slaying Spear can specifically harm the primordial spirit of a saint. If one is pierced by it, even a saint will fall from his saintly position, and may even perish!
This is hardly compensation; it's clearly a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of future saints!
"With this spear, combined with my laws of destruction and slaughter, who in this primordial world dares to bully me?!"
"Even if the Three Pure Ones become saints in the future, with this spear in my hand, they will still have to be wary of me!"
Kunpeng was overjoyed and immediately rose from his seat, bowing deeply to Hongjun, his tone sincere: "Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for bestowing this treasure! This disciple will certainly use this spear wisely and in accordance with the will of Heaven!"
Hongjun nodded slightly, and with a casual wave of his hand, the God-Slaying Spear transformed into a streak of black light, obediently falling into Kunpeng's hand.
The moment the gun was in hand, a chilling, demonic aura surged straight to the mind.
However, within Kunpeng's Niwan Palace, the Pure World White Lotus shone brightly, instantly suppressing and purifying this demonic intent, preventing it from eroding the primordial spirit in the slightest.
Seeing that Kunpeng had easily mastered this fierce weapon, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Hongjun's eyes, and then he stopped looking at him.
At this moment, Hongjun had only one last strand of Primordial Purple Qi left in his hand, which was also the seventh strand.
The purple aura moved like a serpent at Hongjun's fingertips, radiating an alluring brilliance of the Great Dao.
Below the stage, countless eyes were fixed on the last wisp of purple energy, their breathing heavy and rumbling, especially Hongyun, Dijun, Taiyi and others, who were eagerly waiting.
However, Hongjun did not bestow it directly as everyone expected. Instead, he flipped his hand and put away the last wisp of purple energy again!
"this----"
The crowd looked at each other, anxious but not daring to ask any questions.
Only Kunpeng, upon seeing this scene, frowned slightly, a sense of enlightenment rising in his heart.
"The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine."
"Hongjun merged with the Dao, desiring to seize control of the entire Heavenly Dao."
"Logically speaking, this seventh wisp of purple energy is the one that has escaped," representing a glimmer of hope left by Heaven for all living beings, and also the greatest variable.
"Could it be that Hongjun has put it away now because—"
Kunpeng glanced at the God-Slaying Spear in his hand, then thought of himself, this "anomaly" who had transmigrated from another world.
A chill ran through me.
"Is it because of me?"
"I have taken the top seat, seized the opportunity from Taiqing, and obtained this God-Slaying Spear. My strength has already exceeded the control of the Heavenly Dao."
"Perhaps Hongjun felt threatened, or felt that the trend of Heaven's Dao had changed, so he wanted to hold onto this last wisp of purple energy as a backup plan to counterbalance me?"
Just as Kunpeng was pondering this.
Hongjun, atop the high platform, gazed intently, as if piercing through the long river of time, scanning back and forth between Kunpeng and the Hongyun Ancestor below.
Ultimately, it seems that some kind of weighing and decision was made.
"That's enough."
Hongjun sighed softly, opened his palm again, and the purple aura reappeared.
"Red Clouds".
The old patriarch Hongyun, whose name was called, trembled and raised his head in disbelief: "Disciple is here!"
"Although you gave up your seat to someone else and missed the opportunity, you also showed kindness."
"This last wisp of primordial purple energy is bestowed upon you. Whether you can attain enlightenment depends entirely on your own destiny."
Having said that, Hongjun flicked his fingers lightly.
The primordial purple energy that drove countless people mad transformed into a stream of light and instantly entered Hongyun's brow.
"boom--!"
Hongyun felt that happiness had come too suddenly, and she was completely stunned. After she came to her senses, she hurriedly kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, teacher! Thank you, teacher!"
He didn't see the moment he received the purple energy.
The countless gazes around them instantly transformed from envy into naked greed and murderous intent!
Especially Di Jun and Tai Yi, who missed their holy positions, and the always gloomy Styx Ancestor, their eyes were filled with such ferocity that they almost wanted to devour Hong Yun alive.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
If someone with a powerful background and great strength like the Three Pure Ones or Nuwa were to obtain the purple aura, no one else would dare to have any ideas.
But Hongyun, this kind-hearted man, has no treasure to protect him, no great sect to rely on, and is a notoriously overly kind person.
This is hardly the foundation for enlightenment; it's clearly a death warrant!
"Just as I thought."
Kunpeng watched coldly, a playful smile curving his lips.
"Hongjun is using someone else to do his dirty work, and also to balance the situation."
"If this purple aura were in his hands, I might still be wary. But now that it has been bestowed upon Hongyun, it's like throwing a meat bun into a wolf pack."
"Unexpectedly, my rapid rise forced Hongjun to make arrangements in advance, which inadvertently facilitated Hongyun's opportunity."
"But Hongyun, are you capable of seizing this opportunity?"
After distributing the purple energy and supreme treasures, Hongjun's aura became increasingly ethereal, as if it might dissipate into the world at any moment.
"In my early years, I traveled through the prehistoric world and collected many treasures."
"Now that I am about to attain enlightenment, these worldly possessions are of no use to me."
"I have placed it on the Treasure Sharing Rock outside the palace. You may retrieve it by chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hongjun's figure vanished like a bubble, completely merging into the void.
"The teacher has attained enlightenment!"
The crowd bowed to the void.
But after just one bow, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became frenzied.
"Treasure Distribution Rock!"
"Hurry! They'll be gone if you're late!"
Someone shouted.
Swish swish—
The three thousand mortals, at this moment, no longer cared about the demeanor of great powers. They all transformed into streaks of light and rushed towards the outside of Zixiao Palace.
"Hmph, a speed contest?"
A glint of light flashed in Kunpeng's eyes.
He is the fastest in the world and cultivates the laws of wind. In this respect, who can be his opponent?
"Like a roc spreading its wings, it soars straight up!"
With a flicker, Kunpeng transformed into a streak of azure and gold, overtaking the Three Pure Ones at the forefront and becoming the first to burst out of the Zixiao Palace gate.
In the chaotic void, there floated an enormous rock.
Above the rocks, precious light soared into the sky, and auspicious clouds stretched in thousands.
Thousands of innate spiritual treasures were piled up on it like miscellaneous items, emitting dazzling and mesmerizing fluctuations.
Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, bells, towers, mirrors—everything imaginable is available!
"receive!"
Kunpeng took the lead, and with a wave of his sleeve, he unleashed the ultimate power of the universe within.
A terrifying suction force erupted, and hundreds of magical treasures near him were instantly drawn into his sleeve like a whale sucking in water.
However, he was not greedy and wanted to possess it all.
Although there are many treasures on the Treasure Dividing Rock, the truly top-grade spiritual treasures are actually limited. Most of them are of medium or low grade, or are rare treasures with special functions.
With the God-Slaying Spear, the Demon-Summoning Banner, and the Three Great Lotus Platforms in hand, ordinary spiritual treasures are no longer of interest to him.
His gaze swept across the Treasure Dividing Rock with the speed of a hawk, searching for the treasure that had a special karmic connection with him and was crucial to his future path to enlightenment.
"Found it!"
Suddenly, Kunpeng's gaze sharpened.
In the southwest corner of Fenbaoyan, there is a seemingly inconspicuous ruler that emits a hazy gray glow, quietly inserted into a crack in the rock.
Around the ruler, the flow of the two energies of heaven and earth was faintly visible, and the space around it was slightly distorted at its edges.
The Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Qiankun Ruler!
