Hongjun Code Awakens the God-Slaying Spear, Immortal Slaying Sword Spirit Protects All Living Beings
In the Seventh Epoch, after the Primordial Chaos Sea had returned to silence, a young cultivator from a newborn universe wandered amid stardust. The stardust seemed like the universe's dust, scattered through boundless darkness and glimmering faintly.
The young cultivator's steps were light, and his gaze casually swept across his surroundings, as though he had no particular destination. Yet by chance, his eyes were drawn to an object half-buried in the stardust.
It was half a bronze Buddha ear. Though somewhat damaged, its former exquisite craftsmanship was still visible. Curious, the young cultivator approached and picked it out of the stardust. Its surface was covered in grime, concealing its original sheen.
The young cultivator gently wiped the Buddha ear, wishing to see its true form. The instant he wiped it, a faint glimmer suddenly flashed deep within its cochlea. To his surprise, the light was a string of numbers—the original code of Hongjun's eighth generation!
The string of numbers stood out with exceptional clarity beneath the moonlight, as though it were the universe's password. The young cultivator stared at it, an inexplicable excitement rising within him. As he watched, the numbers suddenly began to flow, dancing under the moonlight like the shadows of the Green Ping Sword.
Every sweep of the sword shadows reflected a primordial universe that was restarting. Like enormous beasts being awakened, those universes slowly unfurled their grand scrolls. The young cultivator stared in stunned silence, as though he had been placed at the origin of the universe and was witnessing the birth of all things.
In that instant, the young cultivator felt the vastness and mystery of the universe, and his soul was shaken by the wondrous sight. The half bronze Buddha ear also seemed to emit an ancient, mysterious aura after being activated by the string of numbers.
Amid the interwoven glow of sword shadows, Lin Xiao's voice seemed to transcend the limits of dimensions. Carrying an otherworldly Dao resonance, it slowly rang out. "So-called Primordial Grand Unity is nothing more than a firefly in a furnace."
His words exploded through the silent space like thunder, making all who heard them tremble. Yet his voice did not stop, and he continued, "When countless fireflies have burned out—"
At those words, his tone suddenly shifted. The disdain in it vanished without a trace, replaced by unwavering determination.
"Then we shall illuminate the eternal night!"
As the final word fell, a strange radiance suddenly bloomed in Lin Xiao's palm. The bronze Buddha ear, originally incomparably hard, rapidly melted beneath that light like ice and snow beneath the warm sun.
The melted bronze liquid gathered in Lin Xiao's palm. As though drawn by some mysterious force, it swiftly condensed into a miniature God-Slaying Spear. Though small and delicate, the God-Slaying Spear radiated a heart-pounding aura, as if it were itself a peerless weapon of slaughter.
Far away, in the void above Jin'ao Island, Sect Master Tongtian's sword spirit seemed to sense Lin Xiao's actions. The Four Gates of Immortal Slaying, which had been tightly shut, suddenly thundered beneath the morning light before bursting open.
This scene seemed like the beginning of a new calamity, foretelling an unprecedented storm about to sweep forth. The young cultivator gripped the miniature God-Slaying Spear tightly, feeling its immense power surge within it. At that moment, a Mysterious Figure slowly emerged from the distant stardust. Chaos Energy emanated from all around him, making it impossible to see his true face.
"Little one, the God-Slaying Spear is not something you can control." The Mysterious Figure's voice was low, as though it had come from an ancient abyss. The young cultivator watched him vigilantly and tightened his grip on the God-Slaying Spear. "It won't be so easy if you want to take it."
The moment his words fell, the Mysterious Figure struck. A wave of Chaos Power swept toward the young cultivator. Fearless, the young cultivator swung the God-Slaying Spear to meet it. In an instant, stardust scattered and light burst forth. Just as the two sides reached a stalemate, a fierce sword qi shot from the Four Gates of Immortal Slaying, bearing down directly upon the Mysterious Figure. Sect Master Tongtian's sword spirit had come to his aid. Seeing this, the Mysterious Figure gave a cold snort and transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the stardust. The young cultivator let out a breath of relief. He knew that the storm of this new calamity had only just begun...
