Spear of Annihilation

Above the blood sea, Qin Huai abruptly emerged from his cultivation and opened his eyes. The dense killing intent, having condensed into a substance, shot out for a hundred meters. It made the sky crack and the clouds scatter, all due to the recoil of the killing intent. In a blink, this frightening killing intent had dissipated like smoke.

“Long exposure to the blood sea has affected the vengeful spirits,” Qin Huai mused to himself, his body radiating astonishing killing intent. An ordinary bone pattern realm martial artist would struggle to approach him, as their patterned bone’s power would be choked by Qin Huai’s murderous aura.

His eyes swept across the sea of blood beneath his feet. The once tranquil sea instantly raged. Wild waves leaped up, morphing into thousands of blood-red beasts that seemed to be sprinting through a wilderness. The crashing blood exploded into dazzling blooms.action

With a shift of Qin Huai’s thoughts, the vast sea of blood had already transformed into dozens of different forms. All the plants and animals moved freely in Qin Huai’s mind.

“After half a month, I’ve finally fused the blood sea and the invincible Vajra blood,” he said, clenching his fists in the air.

In the next instant, an endless sea of blood surged and assembled before Qin Huai. The blood-red ocean, vast enough to blanket the entire city of Qingzhou, continued to condense and solidify.

The awe-inspiring killing intent seemed to solidify, rising from the ground like a towering structure. The boundless blood slowly solidified, transitioning from blood-red to dark red, and then to nearly black.

Like a river flowing into a reservoir, the spear that was initially as thick as an arm swallowed the sea of blood like a bottomless abyss. Then, as time passed, the spear reached its limit and began to expand and grow…

Qin Huai could hear the cries of countless vengeful spirits, and the thick aura of death seemed to originate from the underworld. It was enough to make anyone shudder. His body was even covered in a layer of frost. Unfazed, Qin Huai’s eyes were fixed on the ever-expanding Spear of Annihilation.

Three meters, seven meters, nineteen meters, a hundred meters…

He glanced at the sea of blood beneath his feet. As the Spear of Annihilation in his hand continued to grow, the blood sea became more and more transparent. The spear had already absorbed seventy percent of the blood sea.

The long spear pierced the sky, standing nearly a thousand meters tall and hundreds of meters wide. Like a pillar that held up the heavens, it towered before Qin Huai’s eyes.

Qin Huai immediately stopped. He could vaguely see the scene beneath the sea of blood. If he continued to condense it, he would probably attract the white-robed king’s attention.

Buzz…

Waves that Qin Huai couldn’t control suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea of blood. His thoughts stirred slightly, and he smoothed out the ripples.

“Could it be due to controlling too many blood seas?” Qin Huai questioned, his tone serious.

For a quarter of an hour, he maintained the form of the Spear of Annihilation. Small waves occasionally arose, but Qin Huai easily subdued them. Gradually, the blood sea ceased its fluctuations.

“Sure enough, familiarity first is key,” Qin Huai mused, relaxing only then.

This experience with such minor waves was enlightening. Should he prematurely engage in battle with the white-robed king prior to reaching the king realm, the slightest mistake could spell his doom.

“It will take about twenty minutes to fully condense the blood sea into the Spear of Annihilation,” he estimated.

Having never fought against a king realm expert before, he dared not make premature conclusions. All he could do was give his all. So far, the fluctuations emitted from the spear far exceeded Qin Huai’s initial expectations.

His intention was to kill, or at the very least, heavily wound the white-robed king. With the wide reach of the Spear of Annihilation, a hit was almost guaranteed once it was formed.

Now, Qin Huai’s only concern was how to secure those twenty crucial minutes should the situation escalate. After all, he couldn’t just attack the white-robed king with this move as it would undeniably attract attention. It would have to serve as a contingency plan.

“What a headache,” Qin Huai sighed, rubbing his forehead.

He had inherited Gao He’s memory fragments and had witnessed the entire destruction of the Thousand Divination Tower.

More than ten visceral prefecture realm experts were in the tower, including Tower Lord Yue Yang at its peak, who was comparable to Tang Pi. However, they couldn’t withstand the white-robed king’s attacks, and he seemed to have an easy time handling it, making it impossible for Qin Huai to devise a stalling strategy.

Relaxing, the massive Spear of Annihilation instantly collapsed, triggering a spectacle as if a dam had burst. Countless blood droplets fell from the sky, the vast momentum creating a thunderous roar in the clouds.

…

Meanwhile, the white-robed king, listening to the booming sounds echoing from the sky, revealed a satisfied look.

“The scarlet blood bead gifted by the master is indeed extraordinarily powerful,” he murmured. “Even if Wang Kun was formed from the blood sea, the core wouldn’t be as useful as the scarlet blood pearl.”

He gazed at the sea of blood overhead, marveling at the power of the scarlet blood pearl. Yet, the potency was alarmingly intense.

“Master is indeed remarkable,” he finally conceded, attributing it to the mysterious lord.

…

At Spirit Gate, Gou Jie stood on the city tower, observing the bustling crowd below.

Ragged commoners from afar had journeyed with their families across the Lingkou Pass into the ten counties of East Qingzhou. Sincere smiles adorned their faces as if they had reached a sacred land.

Their frosty expressions seemed to have thawed, and their footsteps became light. Upon asking directions from the city guards, they quickly proceeded towards their desired destinations.
