God-Slaying Spear

Luohu's body merged into the World-Destroying Mill, and the cracks across its surface grew increasingly numerous.

Boom!

The World-Destroying Mill suddenly exploded, unleashing a black torrent that surged toward the spiritual veins of the Western Continent.

Hongjun's expression changed drastically. He knew well that if this was not stopped, the entire Western Continent—even the Primordial World—would be doomed beyond redemption.

Pillars of spiritual power shot into the sky from across the earth, followed by deafening booms. The ground shook violently, mountains crumbled, rivers changed course, and countless living beings were reduced to ash in the disaster. Their screams echoed between heaven and earth.

Hongjun's efforts proved ineffective for the moment. Sweat covered his forehead as he continuously poured more Magic Power into the Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, trying to stop the calamity from spreading elsewhere.

Just then, the still-living Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng flew over.

"Fellow Daoists, while this disaster has yet to spread further, please lend me your aid!"

Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng both acted, channeling their faint spiritual power into Hongjun's body.

Yet even so, the disaster continued spreading toward other places.

The four seas churned violently, with massive waves rising from time to time as if they intended to swallow the continents. On the Southern Continent, within the mountain ranges of the Southern Bright Undying Volcano, endless lava was about to erupt and burn the earth to cinders.

"Holy crap, aren't we completely screwed?!"

Qing Xuan stood at the border between the Western and Eastern Continents, staring at the world-ending catastrophe before him as he sighed inwardly.

It seems small matters can be changed, but major ones cannot!

Next, Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng will make Great Dao Oaths to stop this disaster!

At that moment, Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng both suddenly raised their heads, then exchanged an inexplicable glance.

"Heh, who would have thought the Dragon Clan would end up like this?"

"This is Heaven's Mandate!"

"I think you've already made your decision!" Yuan Feng said something baffling.

Yet Ancestral Dragon seemed to understand immediately and roared toward the heavens.

Roar!

"Yuan Feng, we have no choice!"

"Great Dao above, I, Ancestral Dragon, swear this oath today! I am willing to use my body to suppress the sea eyes of the four seas. My clan shall withdraw into the four seas and willingly take up the duty of bringing clouds and rain, to repay the sins of this great calamity. Should this oath be broken, the Dragon Clan shall fall into eternal ruin and never rise again in all worlds!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ancestral Dragon's colossal body, billions of zhang long, split into four and fell into the four seas. In an instant, the four seas calmed.

Seeing this, Yuan Feng cried out.

Cry!

"Let the Great Dao bear witness: I, Yuan Feng, swear this oath! I am willing to guard the Southern Bright Undying Volcano with my own body. From this day onward, my Phoenix Clan shall hide from the world and protect its legacy. Should this oath be broken, the Phoenix Clan's bloodline shall be severed, and its souls shall scatter!"

Yuan Feng spread her wings and flew toward the Southern Bright Undying Volcano, using her body to eternally suppress the endless molten lava.

Following their oaths, the Heavenly Dao bestowed Merit. Strands of golden light merged into heaven and earth, and the trembling world gradually stabilized.

Hongjun looked upon the concluded catastrophe. The Western Continent was now scarred beyond recognition, littered with ruins and broken walls. He let out a soft sigh.

"Ah, I owe far too much this time."

It's finally over!

Qing Xuan felt a weight lift from his heart. With Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng's oaths, this immeasurable calamity had finally reached its end.

Next, Hongjun will merge with the Dao, and Innate Beings will emerge in great numbers throughout the Primordial World.

I should return to the Three Immortal Islands first to consolidate my cultivation, then head out to travel.

Having decided on his next steps, Qing Xuan prepared to flee back home. But suddenly, a streak of black light shot toward him.

"Hmm?"

Qing Xuan watched the black light fly over, drew out his Primordial Halberd, and smacked it down with a single strike.

"Fuck!"

"The God-Slaying Spear!!!"

Qing Xuan stared in astonishment at the God-Slaying Spear embedded in the ground, its shaft trembling without end.

Qing Xuan stepped forward and pulled out the God-Slaying Spear. Once it was in his hand, it stopped shaking, and he immediately sensed an aura that shared the same origin as his own.

Of course. I was transformed from a Chaos Green Lotus seed, while the God-Slaying Spear is a Spiritual Treasure formed from the Chaos Green Lotus's stem. It must have sensed the aura of the Chaos Green Lotus and flown to my side.

Having figured it out, Qing Xuan looked at the Primordial Halberd in his right hand and the God-Slaying Spear in his left with great delight. He put away both treasures and prepared to leave.

"Little Friend Qing Xuan, have you been well?"

Qing Xuan was startled by Hongjun's sudden appearance beside him and nearly failed to hold back a slap.

"Senior Hongjun, why do you always appear and vanish like a ghost? You scared the life out of me," Qing Xuan said irritably.

"Hahahaha! Little Friend, this old Daoist followed a Spiritual Treasure here. Have you seen it?"

After speaking, Hongjun looked at Qing Xuan with a smile.

Qing Xuan thought it over and realized Hongjun had likely followed the God-Slaying Spear. Although he did not know whether Hongjun had seen him put the spear away, it was better not to gamble.

With a flick of his wrist, Qing Xuan summoned the God-Slaying Spear into his hand.

"Senior, is this the spear you're looking for?" Qing Xuan asked, though his tone was extremely certain.

"Heh, that is correct. This treasure belonged to the devil Luohu. Little Friend, you have witnessed this spear's power as well. Its baleful aura is too heavy; its owner can easily lose his heart and nature, living for Slaughter and dying for Slaughter."

"Would Little Friend be willing to exchange this treasure with me? I will suppress this spear beneath Jade Capital Mountain and erase its demonic and baleful auras. In the future, it may emerge once more."

After speaking, Hongjun summoned various Innate Supreme Treasures around himself and quietly watched Qing Xuan.

Qing Xuan swallowed. So many Innate Supreme Treasures were available for him to choose from. Happiness had come too suddenly, leaving him somewhat dazed.

I already have the Primordial Halberd, so the God-Slaying Spear is optional. I might as well trade it away.

The Taiji Diagram? It combines offense and defense, so it's decent enough—but would Laozi still establish the Human Teachings?

The Taiji Diagram's greatest use is suppressing a teaching's fortune. I'm not founding a sect, so it's useless, useless.

Yuanshi's Pangu Banner? Hmm... when it comes to killing power, it isn't even as good as the God-Slaying Spear. Useless, useless.

The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler? It's a fine Spiritual Treasure, but it doesn't seem all that useful either.

After pondering for a long while, Qing Xuan realized that these Innate Supreme Treasures did not mean much to him at present. After all, this was merely exchanging treasure for treasure, and he would not truly gain anything. If only Hongjun would give them to him for free!

But on second thought, Hongjun had even brought out the Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner. That meant he was determined to obtain the God-Slaying Spear today. If they had not formed a karmic connection before, this probably would not have been a trade of treasures.

Qing Xuan carefully considered the reasons behind this. Once he understood, he knew which Spiritual Treasure he wanted.

"Senior Hongjun, when you fought Luohu earlier, I saw a jade-disc-shaped Spiritual Treasure in your hand. Would you be willing to trade that for it?"

The moment those words left his mouth, the air around them suddenly became heavy. Qing Xuan quietly waited for Hongjun to speak, though he felt somewhat uneasy inside.

"Heh, Little Friend, do you know what kind of Spiritual Treasure that jade disc is?"

"This junior does not. I only saw it contend against Luohu's millstone earlier, so I boldly guessed that it was no lesser than an Innate Supreme Treasure."

Hongjun probably doesn't know that I know it's a Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation. He likely just thinks I'm curious. This is the best time to ask for it. If I succeed, I can observe the Three Thousand Great Daos. If I fail, I can simply choose another Spiritual Treasure in exchange. No matter how I look at it, I won't lose out.

Qing Xuan thought to himself, and his anxious heart relaxed considerably.
