Chapter 897: Blood Spear Dragon Slayer
Ou Yangming’s Heavenly Phoenix Fire scorched and radiated brilliant lights. His eyes looked chaotic as though they reflected the evolution of all living things and heavens.
A white flame danced on his palm like a playful salamander.
All of a sudden, Ou Yangming pointed at the sky with his right middle finger. The unknown peculiar stone from beyond heaven was instantly drawn and assimilated into the Heavenly Phoenix Fire. The young fellow breathed out and settled down his momentum, then he entered the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous state. Consequently, a natural Daoist aura spread. It took only a split second for him to blend into the world, where his aura dispersed.
Ou Yangming made quick gestures with his fingers, by which his finger movements carried a unique rhythm. Before long, the spear’s handle was formed, and it was entirely red.
He had a strong feeling that he would be greatly surprised by the equipment this time.
Struck with a thought, Ou Yangming suddenly entered the poisonous pill’s world with his mind.
Countless hot airwaves spread in all directions like tides. While breathing out some murky air, Ou Yangming’s eyes looked like 2 vortexes that were constantly collapsing inward and extending deeper inside. Without warning, the formation of the poisonous pill’s world appeared in front of him.
This time, unlike the few scenes that Ou Yangming saw from before, the universe was dark and numerous nebulas spread in the sky. At the spur of the moment, bolts of lightning flashed while thunders rumbled. The delicate clouds in the sky hung low as it began to rain heavily. At this time, a mysterious black spot appeared inside a nebula. It was the darkest and purest kind of black, and it exceeded the energy that was within reach for all substances. All of the other nebulas started spinning around the black spot, then the black spot turned into a black ball and kept expanding and shrinking repeatedly.
At last, clear air rose to form the sky while murky air sunk and formed the ground.
As the poisonous pill’s world stabilized once more, Ou Yangming’s scattered thoughts disappeared. Without any hesitation, he used his hand as a brush and his belief as ink to add 9 black dots on the spear’s handle. Each time the young fellow drew a dot, there was a magnanimous aura as if the sky was going to shake as well. If one looked closely, one would be able to see that the dots were the same as the black spot inside the poisonous pill’s world.
Ou Yangming moved his hand faster than before. When he lifted his hand and grabbed the air, the horned dragon’s scale flew toward him with the wind.
After about 15 minutes, the horned dragon’s scale transformed into a clear silver liquid and carried boundless vitality.
“Condense!” Ou Yangming suddenly breathed out with a threatening look in his eyes. He made complicated gestures with both hands swiftly and imprinted them on the silver liquid. Soon enough, a spear tip that flickered in a cold light appeared in the Heavenly Phoenix Fire. A red light was vaguely surging on it, but it faded away in the blink of an eye.
After another 15 minutes, a long spear was slowly taking form.
Ou Yangming condensed the unknown peculiar stone into the spear’s handle, the horned dragon’s scale into the spear’s tip, and the Dragon Beard Root into the spear’s tassel.
The spear suddenly absorbed the spiritual Qi around it and condensed numerous small air bubbles, which kept spinning as if they were worshipping it.
Upon seeing this, even Ou Yangming’s heart could not help but beat fast.
Ou Yangming contracted his chest and abdomen, then he inhaled spiritual Qi twice and lifted his hand. A force burst out as a result, and the Heavenly Fire Ore suddenly became red, such that the closely packed holes on it were releasing tongues of fire. Given the temperature, even a Rudimentary Spiritualist would be killed if one came into slight contact with the flame. After all, the flame was extremely violent and had an unusually high temperature. Needless to say, the young fellow was not bothered by the temperature at all. His Heavenly Phoenix Fire’s level was far beyond the Spiritual Realm’s range.
When Ou Yangming shouted, the flame was instantly surrounded by his Heavenly Phoenix Fire.
As it transformed into a red light, Ou Yangming visualized the dragon and the phoenix in his head. With that, a dragon and a phoenix extended from the spear’s handle to the tip. They were lively, and they interlaced with one another.
Once the pattern of the dragon and phoenix was carved, a noble phoenix cry and a domineering dragon roar were heard at the same time. The universe fell dead silent, so much so that time paused illogically. In a flash, all of the spirit beasts within a 50-kilometers range lay prone on the ground and kept crying.
Even Multi-armed King Kong, which overcame 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts, felt like his spine was being pressed down by a 33-kilometers tall mountain. It seemed like it would be pinned down to the ground if it tried to move an inch. This had nothing to do with power, but coercion from a superior being.
At this moment, Multi-armed King Kong’s contract with Ou Yangming lit up, and the mountain on its back seemed to have disappeared. Similarly, the goshawk’s feathers stood up like nails, and a light flashed in its spiritual world before the pressure on it went away.
On the other hand, Big Yellow stuck out its tongue and ground its teeth as though it did not feel anything at all. It looked strangely at the goshawk and the king kong.
The sounds only lasted for a single breath before they dispersed like an illusion.
Nonetheless, the fearsome pressure seemed to be only reflected on spirit beasts; humans and ferocious beasts could sense it too, but it was far less intense.
Even the Venerable Ones in the city were dazed and did not know where it came from.
With a flash of thought, the flame inside the secret room faded away, and everything went back to normal. Ou Yangming breathed out some white mists while a suction force burst out from his palm. He grabbed the air with his right hand and ended up with a long red spear in his hand. The spear was roughly 3 meters long, and a dragon and a phoenix seemed to have been carved on the spear by an incredibly sharp blade. They looked lively and natural, especially their eyes, which were closed but looked like they would open at any time.
An overbearing and arrogant aura spread in all directions, and it felt as if every being in the world could be sacrificed.
“Great spear!” Ou Yangming exclaimed. He grabbed the red spear hard, causing it to ring and an explosion to be heard in the sky.
Without any hesitation, Ou Yangming probed the spear with his mental power. A set of data was quickly displayed in his head.
[Item: Blood Spear Dragon Slayer]
[Equivalent Rank: Magic Tool, Low Grade, Rank One]
[Attributes: Toughness +41, Power +2 (White Silver), Agility +2 (White Silver), Durability 41 (1 point will be recovered every day)]
[Skills: Dragon Phoenix Resonance (Activates the power of a dragon and a phoenix’s resonance to destroy everything. The stronger one’s mental power, the mightier it is), Magic Art Amplification (Uses the Dragon Slayer to increase magic arts’ powers by 50%)]
“Woosh, woosh…” Light breezes were blowing out of nowhere and stirred up Ou Yangming’s long hair. He was in disbelief as he took a deep breath and sighed. “I refined a magic weapon this time!”
Before this, Ou Yangming only had a magic weapon, which was the Ancient Dragon Shield. Its defensive power was exceptional, but its offensive power was substandard. Now that he smithed a magic weapon, which was a spear that was known for its offensive power, he was very glad. Most importantly, the young fellow was not only a formidable martial artist but also a caster. Since the spear could increase magic arts’ powers, it would be an extra advantage for him.
As soon as Ou Yangming held the spear, a warm current surged into his body.
Ou Yangming quivered. The flowing Qi momentum inside his body merged with the warm current and made him feel like he was connected to the weapon by blood.
When Ou Yangming raised his right hand and gently pushed outward, an exceptionally sharp spear-light swept out as well. Wherever it went, even the spiritual Qi in the air burned. With a flash of thought, a thin line of spiritual Qi clung to his finger. Without another flash of thought, the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer was pulled back and drew a perfect circle. It was exceedingly sharp.
Ou Yangming was very satisfied. He turned his wrist and put the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer away reluctantly.
He slowly walked out of the secret room in a white outfit.
When Ou Yangming looked up at the sky, he noticed that it had turned dark. A crescent hung high in the sky, and its gentle moonlight sprinkled on the long hair on his shoulders. Xue Xuanle had been waiting outside the secret room for a long time. She welcomed the young fellow the moment he came out, and she asked curiously, “Big Brother Yu, have you refined your spear?”
“Take a guess?” Ou Yangming kept her in suspense again.
Xue Xuanle pouted and said angrily, “I’m not guessing!”
The moonlight seemed rather cold at that time. Xue Xuanle followed Ou Yangming to his room and beamed like a flower as she asked, “You’re not going to invite me in?”
Ou Yangming shook his head and answered honestly, “No.”
“How petty!” The young lady pouted her lips again and mocked the young fellow, which made her seem flirtatious. She then turned around and returned to where she came from through a long corridor.
When Ou Yangming watched her leave, he wanted to say that he could walk her back, but he decided to swallow his words.

Inside the Wang residence, the spiritual fountain was releasing spiritual Qi. The layer of ice that covered the lake had melted completely.
Wang Haobin was dressed in red and had a straw in his mouth. He was holding a fishing rod as he sat by the lake like a meditating old monk.
All of a sudden, a chilly breeze blew and caused glistening ripples to be formed on the lake. Under the moonlight, the lake seemed serene and peaceful.
“You’re here?” Wang Haobin opened his eyes. His eyes were red, but they quickly went back to normal.
“I’m here!” Wang Fu responded softly like before and sat next to Wang Haobin.
Wang Haobin lifted his fishing rod a little and asked with a smile, “How was it? Did you find anything?”
Instead of answering in a hurry, the elder retrieved a pot of good liquor from his interspatial bag. He knocked it lightly and lifted his head to take a sip.
Wang Haobin was feeling perturbed, but he kept quiet and kept the same expression on his face.
After about 10 breaths, Wang Fu finally answered, “I couldn’t find out about his background as all of the traces seemed to have been forcibly wiped out by a pair of invisible hands.”
Wang Haobin pondered for a long time before he picked up a stone and tossed it into the cold lake. A thud was heard, and ripples spread out from where the stone landed. The young master then commented, “The harder it is to look into him, the more it shows that his background isn’t simple at all.”
“Given that he made you suffer losses twice, Young Master, he’s not a simple figure indeed…” The elder scorned.
Wang Haobin did not say a word. He looked at the deep lake and was deep in thought.
After some time, Wang Fu noted seriously, “I didn’t find out about his background, but I received news that he used his formation to trap and kill Teng Mingze and Teng Mingxu, who were the Teng family’s God-favored ones. The brothers were telepathic and much mightier together, so much so that ordinary top-grade Spiritualists would’ve found it difficult to go against them too.”
“Looks like I didn’t suffer any loss from being defeated the last time! I can’t believe that I sat by the lake for the whole night.” Wang Haobin chuckled.
Instead of commenting on that, the elder continued, “The Teng family started a war against the Xue family, so they have very few masters left as a result. The remaining members from the Xue family are now seeking shelter from the Wu family in Huixun City.”
Wang Haobin’s eyes flickered. “What about the people from the Teng family?”
“The 2 top-grade Spiritualists from the Teng family are starting to track them down and are currently staying in a gorge outside the city. I suppose that they’re waiting for the opportunity to go against the Xue family,” Wang Fu replied to the young master.
“Oh, I see. Heh, interesting—this is really interesting…”
