Yang Haoyu's God-Slaying Crossbow

Two weeks later, at Purple Moon Mountain.

In Yang Tianyou's residence, three Spirit Beasts frolicked in the courtyard. Yang Tianyou lay on a chair, resting his chin on his left hand and munching on a Spirit Fruit with his right, looking quite relaxed.

Ruoqing's injuries healed quickly after taking several First-Tier Superior-Grade Wound-Healing Pills.

Strangely, Ruoqing wasn't very close to Yang Tianyou, but she was particularly fond of Fengling and kept getting close to her.

Yang Tianyou couldn't help but wonder if this was because Fengling had saved Ruoqing's life?

At that moment, a Communication Talisman flew in, carrying Yang Haoyu's slightly excited voice.

"Tianyou, come to the mountaintop, the Old Ancestor has something good for you."

"A good thing? The Old Ancestor successfully forged the Forbidden Artifact?" Yang Tianyou's Shen Yi lit up, and then his figure flashed and disappeared.

The three Spirit Beasts glanced at them, then ignored them and continued their playful antics.

At the Purple Moon Mountain, in front of the Bamboo House, a streak of silver light flashed silently. As the light faded, Yang Tianyou's figure gradually came into view.

"This Starlight Escape is quite easy to use. It is indeed a supporting spell for "White Tiger Constellation Solution"."

With a satisfied smile, Yang Tianyou looked up, and suddenly, the hair on his body stood on end. His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by a pair of iron hands, and an uncontrollable fear surfaced within him.

But soon, that fear vanished as Yang Haoyu put down the Forbidden Artifact in her hand.

"Old Ancestor, you scared me to death." Yang Tianyou gave a wry smile and wiped the faint beads of sweat from his forehead.

Then, he lowered his gaze with curiosity and looked at the crossbow-shaped Forbidden Artifact in Yang Haoyu's hand.

This is the thing that gave him a fatal sense of danger just now, and that feeling wasn't wrong.

Yang Tianyou was certain that if this Forbidden Artifact were to hit him, even with his physique, he would at least suffer serious injuries.

That's why Yang Tianyou was so curious about what the Old Ancestor had actually refined.

It should be noted that even Second-Tier Upper-Grade, high-grade Thunderfire Urn-Gold Bomb wouldn't give him this feeling.

"How about it? Not bad, right?" Yang Haoyu raised the God-Slaying Crossbow -shaped Forbidden Artifact in his hand, his words filled with pride.

"God-Slaying Crossbow? What an imposing name! Was it given by our Old Ancestors?"

"Of course, although it is still very immature, I believe that as long as our Lineage's Artifact Refining Master continue to improve it generation after generation, one day it will eventually develop terrifying power to slay immortals and destroy gods."

A wild ambition surfaced in Yang Haoyu's eyes; his soaring fighting spirit was no less than that of any male Cultivator.

"Old Ancestor, you're so impressive! May I have a look at this God-Slaying Crossbow?" Yang Tianyou complimented, asking with a smile.

"Take it. This was originally made for you. I used up the last bit of Soul-Gathering Stones in the Lineage's reserves for it. It seems I need to find a way to get some. That place..." Yang Haoyu's eyes flickered as he plotted something.

Yang Tianyou didn't pay much attention to what his Old Ancestor said afterward; his gaze was completely drawn to the God-Slaying Crossbow in his hand.

This is a light red hand crossbow with only one bolt.

The crossbow bolts are cone-shaped with sharp barbs on both sides, and their eerie, cold gleam sends chills down one's spine.

"The God-Slaying Crossbow is Forbidden Artifact that I started designing when I was in the Qi Refining Realm. I failed countless times during that time before I achieved the relatively stable structure I have now."

Yang Haoyu stepped forward, pointed to the crossbow bolt, and said, "This is the essence of the God-Slaying Crossbow, the God-Slaying Arrow. It is made entirely of Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Black Iron Essence as the main material, interspersed with countless complex Artifact Mark."

"In addition to these, I also added the remaining Soul-Gathering Stones from our Lineage, and made some improvements based on the Artifact Mark on the Soul-Swaying Bell."

"Therefore, this God-Slaying Arrow can not only destroy the physical body, but also pierce the soul. As for its power, it is equivalent to the full-force attack of False Core Cultivator, burning their Essence Blood."

"That terrifying?"

Yang Tianyou clicked his tongue, then frowned, "Old Ancestor, is there some defect in this thing?"

It's no wonder Yang Tianyou asked that question. If the God-Slaying Crossbow truly possessed such power, would the Old Ancestor have kept it hidden?

Even if it's a semi-finished product, it would probably have already been put on the Lineage Contribution Points exchange List.

"Well... it does have a slight flaw." Yang Haoyu said with a helpless expression.

"Although the God-Slaying Crossbow is incredibly powerful, it takes a very long time to activate."

"Very long?"

Yang Tianyou had an Ill Omen feeling. "How long?"

"Ten breaths!" Yang Haoyu sighed.

"Ten breaths?"

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Yang Tianyou couldn't help but feel disappointed upon hearing this answer.

In the heat of battle, who will give you ten breaths?

However... it's not impossible if the timing is right.

Unexpectedly, the moment this thought crossed his mind, the Old Ancestor added, "Ahem... that's not all!"

"Old Ancestor, stop making such a fuss. Just tell me all the weaknesses of the God-Slaying Crossbow. Your grandson can handle it," Yang Tianyou said with a bitter face.

"The ten breaths I mentioned are under the condition of sufficient Spiritual Power. However, normally, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection would find it difficult to activate their Spiritual Power within ten breaths."

"So, our Old Ancestor intends for me to use this to intercept and kill the Zhao Household Remnants?" Yang Tianyou raised the God-Slaying Crossbow, his face full of bitter smiles.

"Of course not." Yang Haoyu glanced at him. "I spent two whole years researching this problem, and only then could I barely manage to create a small furnace Artifact Mark, which can be considered a solution."

"A small furnace?" Yang Tianyou looked puzzled, then picked up the God-Slaying Crossbow and examined it closely. Only then did he discover a complex pattern about the size of a thumb below the crossbow handle.

The pattern was drawn with densely packed Artifact Mark, and when one scanned it with their Spiritual Awareness, they could feel a faint heat.

"This is the Earthheart Furnace, which I designed Earthheart Flame as its driving energy. As long as you put one hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones into it when using the God-Slaying Crossbow, and then control it with Spiritual Power, you can fire the God-Slaying Arrow within ten breaths," Yang Haoyu explained carefully.

"The Earthheart Furnace, one hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones? That means one arrow not only destroys the Forbidden Artifact, but also costs one hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones?"

Yang Tianyou was stunned. Looking at the God-Slaying Crossbow in his hand, he suddenly felt that this thing was not for killing enemies, but for swallowing gold.

One hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones are worth at least twelve thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. In addition, there are the costs of materials such as Black Iron Essence and Soul-Gathering Stones.

One crossbow bolt landed, and the Spirit Stone burst into flames!

Even so, if the God-Slaying Crossbow can be successfully fired and possesses the power described by the Old Ancestor, then these costs will be worthwhile.

After all, spending ten or twenty thousand Spirit Stones to buy the life of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator seems like a pretty good deal, doesn't it?
