A Step Ahead, Every Step Ahead

"Divine Spear [Heavenly Sun Spear]?!!"

"Wasn't this thing in [King Zhenruo]'s hands?"

"How could this be?"

The council elders all instantly recognized the true form of this [Divine Spear].

They were all greatly shocked.

After all, this divine spear's illustrious reputation was simply far too resounding!

And it was a bona fide [Ancestor Divine Artifact]!

Both its symbolic significance and practical combat power were astonishing.

It was practically a holy relic of the [Otsutsuki Clan], its status in no way inferior to the [Maha Clan]'s divine artifact, the [Myoken Divine Wheel]!

Yet this thing had always been controlled by the [Main Family Royal House], serving as the most powerful weapon in the hands of every successive [Otsutsuki King].

So how had it ended up in [Xushiki]'s hands now?

Even Natsume could not help but be startled when he saw it.

Just a few hours ago, he had personally witnessed the terrifying power of this [Divine Spear]!

Forget [Demigods]—even [Demon God Weapons]

could not withstand this [Divine Spear]'s full-force strike!

This thing actually fell into Xushiki's hands?

So he really did go ambush [King Zhenruo] just now—and won a crushing victory?

That old bastard is too ruthless and too cunning!

Natsume secretly speculated.

He was also slightly relieved that he had not rushed to turn against the other party.

After all, with the boost of [Heavenly Sun Spear], who knew how much higher [Xushiki]'s combat power could rise?

He really would not be easy to deal with!

"Of course, I took it from His Majesty's hands."

"From this day onward, this [Divine Artifact] shall also belong to the [Main Family Council]."

"I will hold it for the time being."

"Therefore, everyone may proceed with the [New Nursery] development plan without worrying that His Majesty will come to stop you."
