Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Birth of the Artifact Spirit

The blood-red glow on the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear grew richer and richer. Gradually, a Dragon Shadow seemed to coil around the spear’s shaft. Though it appeared ethereal, it felt incredibly real.

’An Artifact Spirit is about to be born!’ Lin Yun was overjoyed. In his past life, as the War God, Lin Xiaotian’s personal sword had birthed an Artifact Spirit. It was unstoppable among Divine Soldiers, one of the three great Divine Soldiers of the Divine Realm.

To put it simply, a Demon Fiend is an existence invincible among humans of the same Realm. A Weapon that has birthed an Artifact Spirit is like a Demon Fiend among humans—in the same Realm, no other Weapon can stand against it, unless that Weapon has also birthed an Artifact Spirit.

The Dragon Shadow coiled around the shaft of the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. Finally, the swirling Dragon Shadow dissipated, only to be engraved upon the spear’s shaft. A lifelike Dragon Shadow now spiraled around it, from the butt to the tip.

The bloody light slowly faded, and all the bloodstains that had covered the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear vanished. The shaft and tip were still white, but now when one looked at the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, the white was more chilling, more frigid, more demonic.

Naturally, the members of the Qing Zhu Association knew nothing of the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear’s transformation. There probably wasn’t a single Weapon in the entire Eastern Domain that had birthed an Artifact Spirit, so of course they wouldn’t understand.

One man holding a greatsword slashed at Lin Yun. In response, Lin Yun thrust with the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear in his hand, its tip striking the greatsword directly. A dumbfounding scene instantly unfolded.

The greatsword and the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear were both Celestial Spirit Soldiers, yet when they clashed head-on, cracks instantly appeared on the greatsword’s blade. It held for only a few breaths before snapping in two. Lin Yun’s Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear then continued its momentum and pierced the man’s heart.

After killing another person, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear suddenly began to tremble, as if excited. At the same time, Lin Yun faintly heard a dragon’s cry emanate from it.

Having birthed an Artifact Spirit, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear was as if it had undergone a baptism. From this day forward, it belonged to Lin Yun alone. No matter if the spear was by his side or not, with but a single thought from Lin Yun, it would return to him on its own.

”Impossible...” He never would have imagined his greatsword would be so fragile before the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. Even in death, the man couldn’t believe he would die in a contest of Spirit Soldiers.

With a cold snort, Lin Yun pulled out the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, and the man’s corpse fell to the ground.

Twenty-six people remained. Lin Yun’s killing intent surged. The Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear birthing an Artifact Spirit had greatly increased his Battle Intent. One had to understand that even in the Divine Realm, not everyone’s Weapon could birth an Artifact Spirit, to say nothing of the Celestial Spirit Continent.

Another person was killed. The rest looked at the bone-white Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear in Lin Yun’s hand, a trace of fear flashing in their eyes. ’That truly is a fine spear.’

Without another word, Lin Yun resolved to slaughter these people today and charged forward with his spear once more. Seeing this, the twenty-six men knew the battle had reached a point of no return. They certainly wouldn’t flee. Today, it was kill or be killed.

Having birthed an Artifact Spirit, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear was exceptionally sharp. The Celestial Spirit Soldiers of these men were simply no match for it. After just a few exchanges, the Spirit Soldiers in the hands of several men had been shattered by the Heaven-Dominating Spear.

”There’s something strange about this kid’s Spirit Soldier!” one of them said. ”Everyone, attack at once! Even if he has heaven-defying abilities, I refuse to believe he can block all of our attacks at the same time!”

Hearing this, the others nodded. Soon, the twenty-six men created distance from Lin Yun, planning to attack simultaneously and annihilate him with brute force.

Knowing their intentions, Lin Yun naturally wouldn’t give them the chance. He stuck close to them, but as one man against twenty-six, a dozen or so still managed to pull away from him.

”Attack!” The dozen or so men who had created distance from Lin Yun were all at the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. At that moment, one of them shouted and immediately launched a palm strike at Lin Yun.

”This...” Seeing this, the others knew that attacking now would inevitably hit their own allies, but they couldn’t afford to care about that anymore. Having fought for so long, they were growing increasingly terrified of Lin Yun’s power.

The few men locked in combat with Lin Yun never imagined that their companions would completely disregard their lives, abandoning even their own allies in their desperation to kill Lin Yun.

A dozen or so attacks slammed into Lin Yun. Instantly, terrifying fluctuations of Elemental Power erupted in the sky. Lin Yun, along with the few men fighting him, were instantly swallowed by more than ten different Martial Skills.

Lin Yun’s figure vanished. The dozen or so surviving Martial Artists of the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm immediately burst into laughter.

”Lin Yun, no matter how strong your body is, after taking the full force of our attacks head-on, even if you’re not dead, you’ve only got half a life left!”

For someone at the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm to take the full-power attacks of a dozen others at the same level—indeed, even if he wasn’t dead, he would only have half a life left.

Swallowed by Elemental Power, Lin Yun did indeed have only half a life left. Blood gushed madly from the wounds on his body. However, his eyes remained clear, and his killing intent was chilling.

Swallowing another three Low Grade Spirit Essence Pills, Lin Yun’s meridians had long since begun to throb with pain, but he couldn’t worry about that now. ’I must win.’ Victory was the only thing on Lin Yun’s mind. ’If I lose, the thousand-plus Disciples of Flawless Palace will be slaughtered. The billions of citizens in Wind City will be slaughtered. I must win this battle.’

With the three Low Grade Spirit Essence Pills he had just swallowed, the Elemental Power in Lin Yun’s body began to recover rapidly. In this battle today, he had already consumed no fewer than twenty Low Grade Spirit Essence Pills. If it were an ordinary Celestial Spirit Realm expert, their body would have exploded several times over by now.

As his Elemental Power quickly recovered, Lin Yun began to gather energy for Dual Dragon World Destruction.

Standing in the sky above where Lin Yun had been, the dozen or so surviving Martial Artists of the Qing Zhu Association believed he no longer posed any threat. A cold sneer appeared on each of their faces.

However, just as these men thought Lin Yun was dead, the dozen or so Martial Skills were suddenly shattered from within, and two Dragon Shadows charged directly toward them.

None of the dozen or so men had ever imagined that not only was Lin Yun not dead, but he still possessed such immense Combat Power. The might of this Dual Dragon World Destruction was not the least bit weaker than when Lin Yun was at his peak. In fact, it felt even stronger and more terrifying than before.

This was all thanks to the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear having awakened its Artifact Spirit. Lin Yun didn’t know if it was because of the dragon pattern on the spear’s shaft, but he had an instinctual feeling that the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear had enhanced his Dual Dragon World Destruction, making it even more powerful than before.

The two Dragon Shadows rushed toward the men, with Lin Yun following closely behind. This single strike would decide the victor. Who would win, who would lose, who would live, and who would die—it all came down to this attack.
