The Demon Country Without a Master, Connate Supreme Treasure

A Demon Country yet undiscovered—the benefits he could reap from it went without saying.

He could even have Wu Mo lay the groundwork early to take control of this Demon Country.

Styx let the Karma Fire Red Lotus blaze, illuminating the entire space.

"Chua."

As the flames lit up, what appeared before him was a scene of utter desolation.

There were no buildings, no mountain peaks, not even flowers, grass, or trees.

Moreover, this space was not large—roughly the size of a single Divine Mountain in the Primordial Wilderness.

But this space was expanding outward at a steady pace.

Of course, Styx's eyes weren't met with complete emptiness.

About a hundred meters away, a pole stood upright, piercing straight into the sky.

Even from a hundred meters off, Styx could feel the powerful aura emanating from that pole.

He flew forward and tried to pull the pole out of the ground.

But it didn't budge!

The pole only trembled once, then fell still.

Styx's gaze deepened, and his look at the pole instantly turned serious.

For something to resist his pull, this pole was definitely no ordinary object.

This time, Styx stomped hard on the ground, channeling force through his legs as he strained to yank the pole free.

But again, he gained nothing.

The more this happened, the more certain Styx became that the pole's value was extraordinary!

Left with no other choice, Styx shifted tactics. Instead of wasting more effort on the pole itself, he began digging up the earth.

Since he couldn't pull the pole out, he would just dig the soil away. Without the earth supporting it, the pole would naturally reveal its true form.

Fortunately, while the pole was extraordinary, the surrounding soil was nothing special.

Though the pole had tainted the dirt with some Sha Qi, it wasn't much trouble overall.

Styx dug deeper and deeper, and the Sha Qi in the soil grew denser.

This pole was likely a fierce, baleful treasure.

Soon, Styx unearthed a piece of Silver Steel gleaming with light.

This piece of steel was clearly attached to the pole.

A flash of Spiritual Light struck Styx: "It's the God Slaying Spear!"

This pole was probably the God Slaying Spear thrust upside-down into the earth. The spearhead buried underground was the Silver Steel he had just seen.

What stuck out above was the spear's shaft.

With that thought, his digging speed picked up noticeably, his movements tinged with excitement.

This was the God Slaying Spear!

One of the top Connate Supreme Treasures of the Primordial Wilderness, said to be capable of wounding a Sage's Primordial Spirit—the only treasure in the Primordial Wilderness that might kill a Sage!

It had once belonged to Rahula, but vanished without a trace after the Dao-Devil War.

If it had fallen into a Demon Country, that made sense. With the God Slaying Spear in hand, Styx would have far more confidence when facing Sages in the future.

Otherwise, the Three Pure Ones each wielded a Connate Supreme Treasure, while he only had No Sword, which could temporarily combine into one. In terms of treasures, he was already a step behind them.

Speaking of which, where was No Sword?

Only then did Styx remember—he hadn't seen No Sword since landing here.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, No Sword seemed to sense it and flew straight over.

He channeled his mana, trying to split No Sword back into Yuan Tu and the Abi Sword, but failed.

His expression suddenly turned serious.

No Sword couldn't be separated?

That wasn't necessarily good news for Styx. Though he now had an extra Connate Supreme Treasure, this treasure relied on his own mana to maintain its combined form.

If he had to keep it as No Sword forever, his mana would eventually run dry.

But Styx unexpectedly discovered that No Sword no longer consumed his mana to stay combined.

This meant No Sword had fully transformed into a Connate Supreme Treasure!

The Creation Law and Destruction Law on it had also turned into two lifelike black-and-white dragons, engraved on opposite sides of the blade.

One side, Creation, could break all laws of the world.

The other side, Destruction, could slay countless living beings.

For Styx, this was an unexpected delight.

And this No Sword was not like an ordinary Connate Supreme Treasure—it was a growable Connate Supreme Treasure. In the future, if he could elevate the Creation Law and Destruction Law to deeper levels, 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 didn't know either.

At this point, even if the dug-up pole wasn't the God Slaying Spear, Styx wouldn't be too disappointed. With No Sword in hand, if he could also obtain the God Slaying Spear, that would be icing on the cake.

Before long, Styx had completely unearthed the pole's entire body from the soil. Sure enough, it was the God Slaying Spear. The moment this Connate Supreme Treasure emerged, the entire Demon Country trembled. Truly a great killing weapon of the Primordial Wilderness, Styx silently admired.

But when Styx's hand touched the God Slaying Spear, it showed resistance. Such resistance was not unfamiliar to Styx. When he had snatched the Eastern Emperor Bell from Taiyi to suppress it, he'd had a similar experience. However, the God Slaying Spear's resistance was not as intense as the Eastern Emperor Bell's back then. That is, the God Slaying Spear wasn't strongly rejecting Styx—it just hadn't acknowledged him yet.

Styx didn't find it bothersome, but No Sword suddenly flew up, hovering opposite the God Slaying Spear as if facing it from a distance. It seemed extremely dissatisfied with the God Slaying Spear, or perhaps it was trying to prove itself to Styx. Styx didn't intervene. Instead, he crossed his arms and watched the show from the sidelines. He wanted to see how far No Sword could go—if it could suppress the God Slaying Spear, that would be good. If not, Styx wouldn't be disappointed either. After all, No Sword had just advanced to a Connate Supreme Treasure, while the God Slaying Spear had been famous for ages.

No Sword kept provoking the God Slaying Spear, vehemently criticizing its disrespectful behavior toward Styx earlier. Don't ask Styx how he knew—he and No Sword were connected in thought, weren't they? The God Slaying Spear, however, was unwilling to engage with No Sword, remaining aloof after being sheathed for so long. No Sword finally couldn't hold back—with a "ding," it stabbed into the God Slaying Spear's tip. The God Slaying Spear finally stopped tolerating it and clashed with No Sword.

At first, No Sword was almost being beaten down by the God Slaying Spear. Without Styx's guidance, No Sword couldn't unleash its full potential. The God Slaying Spear, having once followed Rahula, had drunk the blood of countless Primordial Wilderness powerhouses, and its aura of Destruction was even stronger than No Sword's. No Sword was like a little brother before the God Slaying Spear, but it had one huge advantage: Creation Power. Creation and Destruction were mutually reinforcing and opposing. Though No Sword couldn't match the God Slaying Spear in Destruction, when it released both Creation and Destruction power simultaneously, the God Slaying Spear had no way to withstand it.

Styx had already seen the final outcome of the duel between No Sword and the God Slaying Spear. The God Slaying Spear could never defeat both Creation and Destruction at once. No Sword was too heaven-defying—without Creation and Destruction, it would be no match for the God Slaying Spear. And No Sword could keep growing! Styx's inner balance tilted a few degrees toward No Sword.
