A moment later.
As the thought struck him, his right hand flipped, and the God-Slaying Thunder Spear, crackling with lightning, appeared before him.
"Yikes!"
The God-Slaying Thunder Spear materialized inside the Exquisite Pagoda and, as if seeing a ghost, exclaimed, "This is... the Exquisite Divine Emperor's life artifact, the Exquisite Pagoda! How is this possible?!"
Undoubtedly, the familiar process stunned the God-Slaying Thunder Spear.
"Master, how do you possess the Exquisite Divine Emperor's life artifact?"
"Could it be... Master is the reincarnation of the Exquisite Divine Emperor? But that can't be, the Exquisite Divine Emperor was a woman!"
The God-Slaying Thunder Spear was utterly bewildered at this moment. Back then, when the God-Slaying Divine Emperor was alive, the Exquisite Divine Emperor was practically his half-master. The God-Slaying Divine Emperor had always harbored unrequited feelings for the Exquisite Divine Emperor, and his achievements in life were largely thanks to her.
However, one fateful day.
In the God Realm, at the Exquisite Sacred Land where the Exquisite Divine Emperor resided.
It was attacked by an unknown force. The battle that ensued was so fierce that the heavens darkened and the sun and moon lost their light. The Exquisite Sacred Land fought alone against over ten hidden powers. Especially since the attackers numbered over a hundred Divine Emperors, an event that shook the entire God Realm.
In the end, the attackers lost half their Divine Emperors in that battle, while the Exquisite Divine Emperor, at the cost of her life, severely wounded the remaining fifty Divine Emperors. The Exquisite Pagoda then disappeared from the God Realm.
The God-Slaying Thunder Spear recalled the past. After the Exquisite Sacred Land was attacked by over ten forces, nearly all top-tier experts perished, and those in the Divine Emperor realm were all killed. Only fewer than three Divine Venerables could barely maintain order.
When its previous master, the God-Slaying Divine Emperor, arrived, he was consumed by immense fury. He spared no expense in offering rewards throughout the God Realm, eventually eradicating all ten plus forces that had attacked the Exquisite Divine Emperor.
Indeed, that battle cemented the God-Slaying Divine Emperor's position among the top three in the God Realm!
Alas!
It was also after that battle that the God-Slaying Divine Emperor offended countless top-tier powers, which greatly contributed to his subsequent demise. After all, most of those who attacked him during his journey in the Chaos Realm were his enemies from that time.
The God-Slaying Thunder Spear then recounted the secret history of that time. Upon hearing the God-Slaying Thunder Spear's words, Ye Xuan was taken aback.
"Good heavens, the God-Slaying Divine Emperor actually had such an experience back then."
Ye Xuan couldn't help but lick his lips and sigh inwardly, "God-Slaying Divine Emperor, Exquisite Divine Emperor, the system truly didn't lie to me."
"With both of them, Master's future achievements are absolutely limitless, even potentially rivaling the God-Slaying Divine Emperor and the Exquisite Divine Emperor."
The God-Slaying Thunder Spear said so, clearly holding inexplicable expectations for the future.
"Heh, then thank you for your kind words."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, the Divine Emperor realm sounded quite good, but he had no idea how many years it would take to reach it.
"Right, I didn't summon you out for this matter."
The God-Slaying Thunder Spear was now Ye Xuan's biggest trump card, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy. He flipped his hand, took out two Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruits, and tossed them to the God-Slaying Thunder Spear. "These are Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruits. This item should be of great benefit to your soul's recovery."
"Oh!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Upon hearing of the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruits, the God-Slaying Thunder Spear naturally thought of the drop of golden blood from before. He naturally knew that these two Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruits were even more precious than that essence blood.
Without hesitation, the God-Slaying Thunder Spear ate both of them at once, and his entire body was instantly filled with an incredibly terrifying energy.
Crackling~~
Immense lightning surged, as if the lightning energy had been pushed to its extreme by the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruits.
The God-Slaying Thunder Spear's aura surged as if it had taken medicine. With its own strength, it could probably kill a first-tier immortal and contend against a second-tier immortal.
"Amazing!!"
Feeling his strength increase, the God-Slaying Thunder Spear was filled with shock. "Such a magical Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit!"
The God-Slaying Thunder Spear marveled at how incredibly effective this Sacred Spirit Fruit was for him, as if it were tailor-made.
"Master's great kindness, this Thunder Spear will never forget!"
The God-Slaying Thunder Spear was deeply moved and very fortunate that he had agreed to become Ye Xuan's subordinate. The current means already proved that this future master's achievements were immeasurable.
"Heh, it's nothing."
Ye Xuan waved his hand slightly, then reached out and grasped the God-Slaying Thunder Spear. "Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone."
With that, Ye Xuan flashed to where the Sky-Breaking Thunder King was. At that moment, the Sky-Breaking Thunder King was instructing the One-Horned Ox Python.
Under the Sky-Breaking Thunder King's guidance, the One-Horned Ox Python had undergone a qualitative change. Its realm had now reached the seventh-tier Dao Ancestor realm, and it could kill an eighth-tier Dao Ancestor without any problems, with its ultimate combat power comparable to a ninth-tier Dao Ancestor.
Are you kidding?
Considering who the Sky-Breaking Thunder King was, in his prime, he was at the peak of the ninth-tier Immortal Elder, just one step away from becoming an Immortal Lord!
For such a powerful being to guide a Dao Ancestor, it was as easy as playing.
"My Lord!"
The One-Horned Ox Python bowed respectfully upon seeing Ye Xuan, its respect clearly unreserved. After interacting with the Sky-Breaking Thunder King, it realized how incredibly powerful this adult before it was.
It had never seen anyone so strong!
"Oh!?"
Upon seeing Ye Xuan, the Sky-Breaking Thunder King's eyes narrowed slightly, then shone with a brilliant light. "Alliance Leader, you are... in the Immortal realm!"
"You've... stepped into immortality!"
As expected, even the Sky-Breaking Thunder King was astonished. How much time had passed?
One-Horned Ox Python, "!!!"
Upon hearing the Sky-Breaking Thunder King's words, the One-Horned Ox Python's gaze immediately shifted to Ye Xuan, its eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"My Lord, have you... really stepped into the Immortal realm?"
At this moment, the One-Horned Ox Python felt as if its lungs were being squeezed by an invisible hand, completely unable to breathe, and it simply stared blankly at Ye Xuan.
"Heh, indeed."
Ye Xuan did not hide anything, and then the peak-stage first-tier immortal aura surged, and the immortal energy surging around Ye Xuan was clearly present.
"Peak-stage first-tier Immortal, one step away from second-tier Immortal!"
The Sky-Breaking Thunder King looked at Ye Xuan, his eyelids twitching again. Such talent was truly beyond words.
"No!"
Soon, the Sky-Breaking Thunder King realized something was amiss and his gaze fell on the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear, no, the God-Slaying Thunder Spear. "Alliance Leader, this Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear seems different from before."
"Peak-stage sixth-tier Immortal!!"
The soul of the God-Slaying Thunder Spear vibrated, looking at the scene in the air with the astonished gaze of the One-Horned Ox Python, standing there eerily.
Holy crap~
The Master's weapon has gained sentience!
This was the One-Horned Ox Python's first thought. Good heavens, when had it ever seen a weapon that could move on its own and even speak? This scene was completely beyond its comprehension.
Ye Xuan's gaze at the Sky-Breaking Thunder King was fiery. "Heh, now that my strength has greatly increased, I wonder if I could spar with Senior a little."
