Primordial World: Yang Jian Becomes a Saint, and I, His Master, Can No Longer Lie Low — Part 26

Though doing this had been agonizing beyond measure, the benefits were obvious: his physical body had improved tremendously.

At this moment, even facing the Three-Headed Flood Dragon with physical strength alone, he did not fall at a disadvantage.

What was more, Yang Jian's strength was far from limited to his physical body alone!

Yang Jian smiled faintly and suddenly swung the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd. The Three-Headed Flood Dragon immediately felt a chill sweep over him; even he had no choice but to avoid its edge for the moment.

"Master once said that my Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd already possesses the power of a Houtian Spiritual Treasure. I refuse to believe a beast like you isn't afraid."

Yang Jian snorted coldly. Pressing his advantage without mercy, he closed in again and launched another fierce assault.

"This fellow Daoist is truly formidable—he can face this flood dragon without falling behind!"

Wen Zhong stared blankly at Yang Jian. This battle had already surpassed the comprehension of the soldiers behind him.

Yet he could clearly sense that the Three-Headed Flood Dragon, which had just been incomparably arrogant and bent on killing them all, was now being forced back step by step beneath Yang Jian's attacks.

"We're saved now. With this fellow Daoist's help, let's see what waves this beast can still stir up!"

Wen Zhong sighed, while the Three-Headed Flood Dragon realized that he was no match for Yang Jian at all.

"No, this can't go on!"

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon roared and shot straight into the sky, actually trying to flee!

"If I let you escape today, wouldn't that disgrace my master?"

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, and a change immediately came over his gaze.

His originally ordinary eyes transformed into Double Pupils, and two rays of brilliant light shot directly from them.

"Roar!"

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon had not expected Yang Jian to possess such a move. His entire body jolted violently, then plummeted toward the ground.

"Impossible! Just who are you?"

As he watched Yang Jian draw ever closer, the Three-Headed Flood Dragon could scarcely believe that from the moment Yang Jian had truly acted to his own defeat, only an instant had passed.

Such strength made him feel that Yang Jian could not possibly be human.

Yang Jian smiled lightly. "I am merely an ordinary human whom you looked down upon and wished to slaughter. Beast, you're doomed today!"

With that, Yang Jian raised his spear and prepared to thrust it down.

At that moment, a thought from the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd reached Yang Jian's mind, and his expression immediately changed.

"Beast, today I will give you one chance. I can spare your life."

Seeing Yang Jian's movement, the Three-Headed Flood Dragon had already believed himself certain to die. When Yang Jian suddenly said this, he was stunned, staring at him with puzzled eyes.

"Though my weapon has become a Houtian Spiritual Treasure, it still lacks a Weapon Spirit. Today I will give you a chance: become the Weapon Spirit of my weapon. This way, although you will not be able to preserve your physical body, your soul will still remain."

A Weapon Spirit!

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon hesitated. Yang Jian was right—if he became a Weapon Spirit, his soul could endure alongside the magical treasure forever. But without his physical body, he would lose all ability to act on his own.

Moreover, he could only remain attached to the weapon from then on, and in the future, he would have to remain loyal to Yang Jian unless the weapon changed owners.

Such conditions were far too difficult for him to accept. After all, he was already a flood dragon, and might even have the chance to undergo tribulation and transform into a true dragon someday. To give all that up and become a Weapon Spirit was something he was absolutely unwilling to do.

Seeing the Three-Headed Flood Dragon remain silent, Yang Jian snorted coldly. "Don't think I have no way of dealing with you. I am only giving you this chance because you possess some strength. If you refuse, then today I will rid the people of this evil and slay you, demon."

With that, killing intent appeared in his eyes as he raised his spear.

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon immediately panicked. Losing his freedom was terrifying, but if he lost his life, then everything would be meaningless.

With that thought, his mind raced. In the end, he let out a helpless sigh. "I am willing!"

Only then did Yang Jian stop, a look of delight appearing on his face.

The thought the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd had conveyed to him just now was very simple: it shared an immense affinity with the Three-Headed Flood Dragon. If the two merged into one, its power might increase greatly.

At the same time, under such circumstances, the Three-Headed Flood Dragon's soul would surely be able to become the Weapon Spirit of the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd.

Once a magical treasure possessed a Weapon Spirit, it gained a life of its own. It would no longer be a dead object, and could even fight independently when its master needed it. Naturally, Yang Jian wanted such benefits, which was why he had said what he did.

Please Accompany Me to Chaoge for a Discussion

Yang Jian held the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd in his hand, while the Three-Headed Flood Dragon hung his head and allowed the spiritual energy released by the halberd to wrap around him!

Even the Three-Headed Flood Dragon revealed an incredulous look at this moment.

"Master, the compatibility between me and your weapon is incredibly high. It is as though we were originally one body—how is this possible?"

Since he had already accepted his fate, the way he addressed Yang Jian naturally changed as well.

Yang Jian was also puzzled. Originally, he had thought that the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd merely found the Three-Headed Flood Dragon greatly beneficial because he was a flood dragon, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Upon discovering this, the Three-Headed Flood Dragon no longer resisted so strongly.

He allowed the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd to absorb him into its shaft. At that moment, a three-headed flood dragon coiled around the halberd's handle, lending it several more degrees of killing intent.

Not only that, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd did not spare even the Three-Headed Flood Dragon's body, absorbing it all. Yang Jian discovered that after this was completed, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd had directly reached the level of a supreme-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

Yang Jian also felt the feedback from the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd, and his aura immediately began to rise.

All of a sudden, the bottleneck that had not budged during his entire year at Changsheng Palace was directly broken through at this very moment.
