[Magic Weapon: Dragon-Slaying Spear]
[Grade: Top Tier Seven]
[Origin: Forged in ancient Gu Huang Dongtian by a quasi-emperor with Heavenly Thunder Cold Iron, once soaked in divine blood, unmatched in power]
...
The Dharma body manifested.
A trace of divine consciousness was injected into the spear, intending to imprint his will within and fully control this supreme treasure.
However, when Lu Qingyang's divine sense touched it, a sharp and extreme edge erupted from within the spear, attempting to shatter his divine sense.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyang snorted coldly, suppressing the Dragon-Slaying Spear with absolute power and forcefully imprinting his own mark on it.
Thus, this top-tier seven Saint's treasure finally came under his control.
Once the Dragon-Slaying Spear acknowledged its master, Lu Qingyang could sense the vast power contained within it, which was truly overwhelming.
The divine blood of the quasi-emperor it had absorbed in the past granted it subtle changes, making it stronger than ordinary top-tier seven magic weapons.
If nourished further with divine blood or reforged with higher-grade materials, the Dragon-Slaying Spear could break through the limitations of tier seven and firmly enter tier eight.
If it reached tier eight, it would be equivalent to a quasi-emperor level weapon in the Wuxian Realm.
Even now, the latent power of the Dragon-Slaying Spear was enough to greatly increase Lu Qingyang's strength.
In an instant, Lu Qingyang found himself in the cosmic star river.
Looking ahead at the floating asteroid, resembling a miniature continent, Lu Qingyang gripped the Dragon-Slaying Spear and casually struck out.
A terrifying edge broke through the air, instantly crossing thousands of miles and shattering the asteroid into dust.
"Boom—"
The spear's edge not only shattered the asteroid but extended for hundreds of miles, breaking through several more asteroids before finally dissipating.
At this moment, dark space cracks remained in the starry sky, taking a long time to heal.
As the spear's edge gradually dissipated, the shattered space finally healed completely.
Witnessing this, Lu Qingyang was quite satisfied. "The Dragon-Slaying Spear is indeed a top-tier seven weapon, far surpassing the Purple Thunder Bow."
With just this casual strike, its power nearly reached the pinnacle of a Saint.
With his current Dharma body strength, paired with the Dragon-Slaying Spear, unless the opponent possessed a quasi-emperor level weapon, even facing a genuine tier eight quasi-emperor, he could still put up a fight.
Previously, his Dharma body strength was barely at the early tier seven level, but with the Dragon-Slaying Spear, he had firmly entered tier eight.
Though it was just a step apart, the difference in strength between the two levels was worlds apart.
Facing the vast starry river ahead, Lu Qingyang did not venture deeper. The starry river was full of unknowns, and even with his current strength comparable to a tier eight quasi-emperor, he dared not claim he could roam freely in it.
One Dharma body exploring the starry river was enough; there was no need to send all his Dharma bodies out.
Moreover,
The previous Dharma body was still wandering aimlessly in the starry river, having encountered powerful cosmic beasts multiple times, narrowly escaping death without discovering any life-bearing stars.
For this, Lu Qingyang was not impatient.
The people of the Shenmu Empire had traversed various star systems and had not found many life-bearing stars, showing how rare they were.
Returning to the Ten Thousand Heavens Court, Lu Qingyang absorbed the Dragon-Slaying Spear into his body for nourishment. The potential of a top-tier seven weapon was limitless. If nurtured to tier eight, it would greatly enhance his strength.
Until now, Lu Qingyang had not possessed a powerful protective magic weapon. The appearance of the Dragon-Slaying Spear filled this gap perfectly.
Strictly speaking,
Lu Qingyang coveted the Celestial Emperor Sword in Zuo Ling's hands, but he had no intention of seizing his follower's treasures.
As the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, he should have a broad vision.
A narrow mindset would ultimately limit future achievements.
At this moment,
Lu Qingyang suddenly felt a stir in his mind, his sight traversing countless spaces to land in a void.
"Boy, hand over the treasure, and I may spare your life!"
A cold voice came from behind. Lu Qingyang turned to see a thin old man in black robes flying towards him, his eyes filled with greed and malice.
Related memories flooded Lu Qingyang's mind, and he immediately understood the situation.
It turned out that the Dharma body, while traversing the starry river, had inadvertently disturbed a cosmic beast, revealing the Purple Thunder Bow and attracting the black-robed old man's covetousness.
Caught off guard, the Dharma body had no choice but to flee.
At this moment, Lu Qingyang's divine consciousness descended, taking over the Dharma body, and turned his gaze towards the black-robed old man while activating the Heavenly Dao Spirit Eye.
...
[Name: Blood Ancestor]
[Form: Human]
[Realm: Late Stage Tier Seven]
[Constitution: Blood Demon Body]
...
"Late Stage Tier Seven!"
Lu Qingyang's heart shook.
According to the Dharma body's memory, the Blood Ancestor behind him was the first human strongman he had encountered since entering the starry river.
A late stage tier seven cultivation, equivalent to a Saint with over seven turns in the Wuxian Realm.
In terms of strength, he was probably not inferior to the Divine Sky Saint.
The key was that the Blood Ancestor possessed the Blood Demon Body, a special constitution with unknown potential.
Fortunately, the Dharma body's strength was decent, and with many secret techniques, it could temporarily avoid the Blood Ancestor's edge.
However, without a good strategy, the defeat of the Dharma body was only a matter of time.
After all, this Dharma body was the first one Lu Qingyang had condensed, with strength barely at the early stage of tier seven, naturally no match for the Blood Ancestor.
Thinking of this,
Lu Qingyang immediately exchanged a large number of spirit-recovering pills from the Heavenly Court market and swallowed them all, instantly restoring his exhausted spirit to its peak.
Immediately after,
Lu Qingyang suddenly turned around, drawing the Purple Thunder Bow to its full moon, and in an instant, the purple thunder arrow shot out, aiming directly at the Blood Ancestor.
The latter saw this and sneered, "A futile struggle!"
With that, the Blood Ancestor casually struck out a palm, easily shattering the purple thunder arrow. The power of a Saint's strike was nothing before him.
In response,
Lu Qingyang's expression remained unchanged. In just a breath, the Purple Thunder Bow had shot out a hundred arrows, gathering into a destructive thunderstorm, blasting towards the Blood Ancestor.
This attack once again exhausted Lu Qingyang's spirit.
However, as his spirit was exhausted, he swallowed a large number of pills to forcibly recover.
At the same time,
The Blood Ancestor looked at the oncoming destructive thunderstorm, his old face showing a hint of seriousness, and a sea of blood churned in the void behind him, swallowing the destructive thunderstorm in an instant.
Unexpectedly,
A divine spear suddenly appeared in Lu Qingyang's hand. The spear light swept through the void, carrying a vast destructive force, making the Blood Ancestor's face change drastically...
