444: Chapter 444: War

"Great Celebration Venerable, this is the Soul-Ensnaring Spear I dug out from an ancient tomb. Its ferocity is unparalleled, and it is my most important trump card. You must be careful from here on out!"

Corpse God Child gently stroked the pitch-black spear in his hands and warned Qin Xiao.

"Hmm! I know!"

Qin Xiao nodded. In truth, even if the other party hadn't warned him, he would have remained cautious. He could feel an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the Soul-Ensnaring Spear, and he was already fully prepared for battle.

As Corpse God Child finished speaking, the Soul-Ensnaring Spear in his hand was activated, and endless resentment began to radiate outward in all directions.

One Soul after another emerged from the spear, emitting mournful roars. They were so dense that one couldn't see the end of them at a single glance.

The entire arena was now shrouded by these spirits, blocking even visibility.

"Swish!"

Corpse God Child leapt into the air and thrust the spear toward Qin Xiao. The spirits wailed, carrying endless resentment as they swept toward Qin Xiao.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao dared not be negligent. He fully activated the Tianwu Scepter and Kirin Ball in his hands to meet the attack head-on. He even activated the Myriad Transformation Saint Cauldron above his head and the Five Elements Bracelet in his hand, keeping them by his side in preparation.

With the activation of the Tianwu Scepter and Kirin Ball, a massive phantom of a Heavenly Witch and a gigantic Fire Kirin appeared in the sky.

Both of them roared as they lunged forward.

Soon, a great battle erupted in the sky, with the endless spirits clashing against the Heavenly Witch and the Fire Kirin.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The roaring in the Void Realm was ceaseless. The group of spirits kept pouncing on the Heavenly Witch and the Fire Kirin, biting and tearing at them, wave after wave, just like ants.

Boom!

Immediately following, the Soul-Ensnaring Spear collided with the Tianwu Scepter and the Kirin Ball, producing a deafening sound.

The heavens and earth trembled, and the entire Dao of the Universe resonated with a rumble.

The three Sacred Artifacts clashed violently in the Void Realm, emitting blinding flashes of light that shook one's Soul.

Boom!

Soon, the Tianwu Scepter and the Kirin Ball returned to Qin Xiao's hands.

Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly; there was a scratch on the Tianwu Scepter, carved out by the Soul-Ensnaring Spear.

This was terrifying. One must know that the Tianwu Scepter was a Sacred Artifact made of rare metals. He had used it in previous battles, yet it had remained unscathed.

Now, after just a simple clash with the Soul-Ensnaring Spear, it had sustained damage. This was truly shocking!

If the battle continued at this intensity, by the end of the fight, the Tianwu Scepter would likely be ruined!

"This thing is too terrifying, isn't it? To think it has such power!"

Qin Xiao was secretly shocked. After all, it was two against one, and his cultivation was higher than his opponent's, yet he had suffered a hidden loss, and his Sacred Artifact had been damaged!

This wasn't because he was inferior, but because the weapon in his opponent's hand was simply too terrifying.

On the other side, Corpse God Child raised the Soul-Ensnaring Spear and slashed toward him, carrying incomparable Divine Might!

Seeing this, Qin Xiao frowned immediately. He promptly drove the Kirin Ball to manifest a Qilin phantom, striking it toward his opponent!

The opponent was difficult to deal with because of the advantage of his weapon. Close-quarters combat was a major disadvantage for him, so he intended to keep his opponent at a distance!

Boom!

The countless spirits clashed with the Fire Kirin, colliding in the Void Realm, but it only lasted for a moment.

The Fire Kirin was shattered by the spirits and then swept toward Qin Xiao!

Qin Xiao formed a seal with one hand and cast a spell into the Myriad Transformation Saint Cauldron.

Immediately, the Myriad Transformation Saint Cauldron vibrated violently, pouring out a massive wave of Purple-Gold Crimson Nether Flame!

Ah! Ah! Ah!

This Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire possessed extremely strong attack power; not even a Soul could withstand its burning. As soon as the spirits touched it, their spectral bodies burned violently, emitting waves of wails!

"This Soul-Ensnaring Spear is truly terrifying! It actually forced the Great Celebration Venerable to bring out so many Sacred Artifacts to counter it. This Corpse God Child is really something; he hid it until now and wasn't even willing to take it out in previous battles!"

People outside, seeing this scene, immediately exclaimed in shock.

A good weapon is truly too important in a life-or-death struggle; it can allow a lower-level Martial Artist to fight above their rank, or even slay an opponent stronger than themselves!

Qin Xiao was currently facing such a situation; his opponent's weapon was too formidable to be compensated for by mere numbers!

"Kirin Ball, rise for me!"

Qin Xiao whispered, continuously injecting Holy Qi into it, activating all the artifact patterns within the sphere to unleash its full combat power!

Such an extreme burst, while capable of unleashing terrifying power, would cause immense damage to the Sacred Artifact itself and could very likely render it completely useless!

Roar!

A deafening beast roar erupted from the mouth of the Fire Kirin.

Immediately after, flames filled the sky as they were spewed from its mouth. This was the Qilin Divine Fire, capable of burning everything in the Universe, with infinite power!

The sky full of flames filled the entire arena; the arena floor beneath their feet melted into magma, and the Void Realm was scorched a crimson red!

"Swish!"

Corpse God Child leapt, dodging the incoming flames. He did not choose to clash head-on, but instead cleverly evaded them!

Because he knew that the Kirin Ball could not sustain this state for long, there was absolutely no need to confront it head-on!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Corpse God Child's speed was extremely fast, like a streak of light; the Fire Kirin simply could not lock onto his position!

"Roar!!"

Qin Xiao used the Tianwu Scepter, causing it to manifest a Heavenly Witch phantom, which attacked Corpse God Child from the side, flanking him from the left and right along with the Fire Kirin!

"Swish!"

Seeing that he had nowhere to dodge, Corpse God Child immediately stopped his movement, his aura erupting throughout his body. He raised the Soul-Ensnaring Spear in his hand and slashed toward the Heavenly Witch phantom!

"Boom!"

A cold glint flashed, and endless vengeful spirits rushed into the Heavenly Witch phantom, splitting it in two!

"Boom!"

Just as Corpse God Child split the Heavenly Witch phantom, Qin Xiao mobilized the Myriad Transformation Saint Cauldron, causing it to grow a thousand zhang in size, and smashed it toward Corpse God Child!

"Clang!"

Seeing this, Corpse God Child raised the Soul-Ensnaring Spear in his hand and slashed out, colliding with the Myriad Transformation Saint Cauldron, sparking a burst of fire.

Because Qin Xiao's strike was sudden, Corpse God Child faced it in a hurry and lacked sufficient follow-up force, so he was sent flying, falling right into the Fire Kirin's attack!

Boom!

Endless flames engulfed Corpse God Child, causing him to disappear from people's sight!

At the same time, the Myriad Transformation Saint Cauldron flew back into Qin Xiao's hands, but a deep scratch had been left on the body of the cauldron.
