An undiscovered Demon Country—how many benefits could he reap from it went without saying.
He could even have Wu Mo make arrangements in advance to take control of this Demon Country.
Styx had the Karma Fire Red Lotus ignite its flames, illuminating the space before him.
"Chua."
As the flames lit up, a dead silence appeared before him.
There were no buildings, no mountains, not even flowers, grass, or trees.
This space was not particularly large either, roughly the size of a Divine Mountain in the Primordial Wilderness.
Yet it was expanding outward at a considerable speed.
Of course, it was not as though there was nothing at all before Styx.
About a hundred meters away, a pole stood upright, shooting straight into the sky.
Even from that distance, Styx could sense the powerful aura emanating from it.
He flew forward and tried to pull the pole out of the ground.
But it would not budge!
The pole merely trembled before returning to stillness.
Styx's eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze at the pole instantly turned serious.
Anything he could not pull out was certainly no ordinary object.
This time, Styx stomped the ground, braced himself with both feet, and forcefully yanked the pole from the earth.
But again, he achieved nothing.
The more this happened, the more certain Styx became that the pole was extraordinary!
He could only seek another approach. Rather than wasting more effort on the pole itself, he began digging up the soil around it.
If he could not pull out the pole, then he would dig away the soil. Once it lost the earth supporting it, its true form would naturally be revealed.
Fortunately, while the pole itself was unusual, the surrounding soil was nothing special.
Though the soil had been tainted with a trace of baleful aura because of the pole, it was not much trouble overall.
The deeper Styx dug, the denser the baleful aura in the soil became.
This pole was likely some kind of vicious treasure.
Before long, Styx dug up a piece of steel shining with silver light.
This piece of steel was clearly connected to the pole.
Spiritual Light flashed through Styx's mind. "It's the God Slaying Spear!"
This pole was likely the God Slaying Spear planted upside down in the soil. The spearhead buried underground was the Silver Steel he had just seen.
The portion exposed aboveground was the shaft of the God Slaying Spear.
At that thought, he dug much faster, every movement brimming with excitement.
This was the God Slaying Spear!
One of the top Connate Supreme Treasures in the Primordial Wilderness, it was said to be able to wound a saint's primordial spirit. It was the only treasure in the Primordial Wilderness that might possibly kill a saint!
It had once belonged to Rahula, but its whereabouts had become unknown after the Dao-Devil War.
It was only reasonable for it to have fallen into the Demon Country. If he obtained the God Slaying Spear, Styx would have more confidence when facing saints in the future.
Otherwise, the Three Pure Ones would each possess a Connate Supreme Treasure, while he only had No Sword, which could temporarily fuse into a Connate Supreme Treasure. In terms of treasures, he would still fall short of the Three Pure Ones.
Come to think of it, where was No Sword?
Only then did Styx recall that he had not seen No Sword since arriving here.
With a thought from Styx, No Sword seemed to sense his summons and flew directly over.
He circulated his mana, attempting to separate No Sword into Yuan Tu and the Abi Sword, but failed.
His expression abruptly turned solemn.
No Sword could no longer be separated?
That was not necessarily good news for Styx. Though he had gained a Connate Supreme Treasure, it had previously required his mana to maintain its fused form.
If he had to maintain No Sword's form indefinitely, Styx's mana would eventually be exhausted.
Yet Styx was surprised to discover that No Sword no longer consumed his mana to maintain its fused form.
This meant that No Sword had completely transformed into a Connate Supreme Treasure!
The Creation Law and Destruction Law upon it had also turned into two lifelike black-and-white dragons, imprinted on either side of the sword.
One side embodied creation and could break all laws beneath heaven.
The other embodied destruction and could slay endless living beings.
This was an absolute and unexpected delight for Styx.
Moreover, No Sword was no ordinary Connate Supreme Treasure. It was a Connate Supreme Treasure capable of growth. If he could raise the Creation Law and Destruction Law to a deeper level in the future—
Then he could use creation and destruction to enhance No Sword's power!
As for whether No Sword could be raised to the grade of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, Styx did not know.
Now, even if the pole he dug out was not the God Slaying Spear, Styx would not be too disappointed.
With No Sword, obtaining the God Slaying Spear would merely be icing on the cake.
Not long after, Styx completely unearthed the pole from the soil.
Sure enough, it was the God Slaying Spear.
The moment this Connate Supreme Treasure emerged, the entire Demon Country trembled.
Worthy of being the great killing weapon of the Primordial Wilderness.
Styx silently marveled.
But when Styx's hand touched the God Slaying Spear, it displayed resistance.
Styx was no stranger to such resistance.
He had experienced something similar when he seized the Eastern Emperor Bell from Taiyi and suppressed it.
Yet the God Slaying Spear's resistance was not as intense as the Eastern Emperor Bell's had been.
In other words, the God Slaying Spear did not reject Styx too strongly. It simply had yet to acknowledge him.
Styx did not think much of it, but No Sword abruptly flew up and hovered opposite the God Slaying Spear.
As though it were extremely dissatisfied with the God Slaying Spear.
Or perhaps it was trying to prove itself to Styx.
Styx did not interfere.
Instead, he folded his arms and watched from the side.
He also wanted to see what level No Sword had reached. If it could suppress the God Slaying Spear, that would naturally be for the best.
If it could not, Styx would not be disappointed.
After all, No Sword had only just advanced into a Connate Supreme Treasure, while the God Slaying Spear had been renowned for ages.
No Sword continuously provoked the God Slaying Spear, fiercely condemning its earlier disrespect toward Styx.
Do not ask how Styx knew.
He was connected to No Sword by thought, was he not?
The God Slaying Spear, however, could not be bothered with No Sword. Having remained sheathed for so long, it seemed exceedingly aloof.
In the end, No Sword could no longer hold back. With a ding, it stabbed at the God Slaying Spear's spearhead.
The God Slaying Spear finally stopped tolerating it and began fighting No Sword.
At first, No Sword was almost completely suppressed by the God Slaying Spear.
Without Styx's command, No Sword could not unleash its full potential.
The God Slaying Spear had once followed Rahula and had drunk the blood of countless great experts of the Primordial Wilderness. The aura of destruction it contained was even stronger than No Sword's.
No Sword was like a little brother before the God Slaying Spear, but it possessed one enormous advantage over it: Creation Power.
Creation and destruction countered and complemented one another.
Though No Sword could not match the God Slaying Spear in destruction, once it unleashed both Creation Power and Destruction Power at the same time, the God Slaying Spear could no longer withstand it.
Styx had already seen the final result of the contest between No Sword and the God Slaying Spear.
The God Slaying Spear could never defeat creation and destruction simultaneously.
No Sword was too heaven-defying. Without creation and destruction, it would never have been the God Slaying Spear's match.
And No Sword could continue growing!
The scales in Styx's heart quietly tilted a little further toward No Sword.
