Chapter 920: Nine Nether Sky Spear
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

One man and one spear looked at each other, unmoving.

The dragon bead that had entered his forehead flickered with a strange light, and Ye Chen’s eyes turned crimson.

The demonic aura around him even transformed into a majestic black cloak.

Ye Lingtian could no longer remain calm when he saw this scene.

This ancient spear could actually bend? This was unheard of!

Also, it felt like the spear was recognizing its master.

Could it be that his father had used his life to protect this item, not for himself, but for the Hall Master?

It was definitely possible!

Ye Lingtian was not disappointed at all. Instead, he was excited!

He was used to using a sword and, furthermore, he was weaker than the Hall Master. Having to learn how to use a spear would require him to transition from sword to spear, which would also slow down his cultivation.

However, the Hall Master seemed to like using swords as well, and he had never seen Ye Chen use a spear.

In addition, this spear was extremely powerful, so without a powerful spear technique, it would be difficult to control, and even the Hall Master might not be able to unleash its full strength.

He was a little worried now.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, seemed to be immersed in a magical world. He realized that everything around him had completely changed, and it was as if he was in an illusion.

This place was actually filled with the corpses of tens of millions of people, with mountains of white bones piled up everywhere. Rivers of blood flowed across the ground, and it looked like he had entered some sort of abyssal world.

Strong gusts of winds danced wildly, and even the sky was red. The wails of ghosts and howls of wolves came from the deepest depths of the space.

Suddenly, blue and cold flames appeared among the countless skeletons.

It seemed like two flames of different attributes had actually fused together, and they seemed to be no weaker than the Immortal Flames.

While he was examining it, the flames took the shape of a spear and burrowed into his forehead. Moments later, waves of pain assaulted him.

When Ye Chen finally raised his head, he realized that the scene before him had changed again.

This time, the skeletons had come alive and transformed into cultivators!

Every cultivator exuded violent killing intent, and the weakest among them was actually an origin king realm expert.

There were also quite a number of Daoyuan and Emperor realm experts!

Everyone headed towards the abyss.

Roar! Roar!

At this moment, a figure walked out of the darkness, which simultaneously caused the atmosphere to freeze.

When the light shone on his body, Ye Chen realized that he looked familiar.

“Impossible!”

Ye Chen was stunned!

That figure was none other than himself!

His demonic energy had condensed into a black cloak, and the spear in his hand was the one he had seen today!

However, his eyes were cold and monstrous. Then, he pointed his spear at the cultivators, and every strike was filled with demonic energy.

Space seemed to distort as true qi, spiritual energy, demonic energy, divine lightning, and flames devoured everything!

And the ruler of this abyssal space was his demonized form!

Had he killed all of these countless cultivators?

The demonized figure seemed to have sensed something. It swept a glance in Ye Chen’s direction, and then the illusion disappeared.

Ye Chen found himself back in reality.

The spear no longer looked at him. Instead, it floated in front of him.

Obviously, it wanted him to hold it.

Ye Chen did not hesitate. He could feel that this spear was born for him.

He had learned Lin Qingxuan’s Three Heavens Ultimate spear technique, and he just happened to lack a suitable weapon. This demonic spear would work just fine.

However, Ye Chen was still confused. What did that earlier illusion mean? If it was a vision, did that mean that he would eventually become a demon?

Also, why did he kill so many people? Everything there had felt so real!

In the end, he threw the distracting thoughts to the back of his mind and reached out to grab the ancient spear.

Rip!

Suddenly, Ye Chen’s palm was cut open and blood gushed out, which was absorbed by the spear. He then felt a connection between his mind and the spear.

Realizing this, he clenched his fist, gathered his true qi, and swung the spear in an arc!

The surrounding seawater was instantly split into two halves, and the spear strike actually created a scar in the ground that was a few hundred feet long, like a deep sea ravine!

It was a shocking sight!

The tremors on the ground also continued to spread.

Ye Chen retracted his spear and gently touched it, muttering, “Although the difference in strength between this and what I saw in the illusion is huge, I’m already very satisfied. If I combine it with the Three Heavens Ultimate spear technique, I won’t need to fear origin king realm experts.”

“Do you have a name?” Ye Chen asked as he thought of something.

The spear seemed to understand Ye Chen’s words. It twisted again as if it was shaking its head.

Ye Chen pondered for a few seconds and said, “The illusion just now seemed to be in an abyssal world, and those words I heard… I’ll call you the Nine Nether Sky Spear!”

The Nine Nether Sky Spear immediately understood that it had a name and stuck close to Ye Chen like a spiritual snake.

The spearhead flickered with a dark flame.

“Alright, now enter the Samsara Graveyard. I’ll summon you when needed,” Ye Chen said.

The Nine Nether Sky Spear nodded its spearhead vigorously like an actual head and then disappeared.

Everything returned to normal.

Ye Chen looked at Ye Lingtian and said apologetically ,”Lingtian, the treasure recognized me as its master. It’s really…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Lingtian smiled. “Hall Master, you don’t have to say anything. I know my father. He didn’t plan to give the Nine Nether Sky Spear to me. It belonged to you.”

“Moreover, I am the Hall Master’s subordinate. Even if you ask me to die, I will not hesitate!”

Ye Chen was momentarily speechless.

“What nonsense are you spouting? You must stay by my side for the rest of your life, so don’t speak of death so lightly. If anyone harms you, I will destroy their entire family and sect!”

Ye Lingtian nodded vigorously. The Hall Master’s words gave him great confidence!

With such a leader, what else could he ask for?

Suddenly, Ye Chen noticed something. With a clench of his fingers, another tiny box appeared in his hand.

These were the only two things here.

Since the Nine Nether Sky Spear was left to him by Ye Lingtian’s father, this box should belong to Ye Lingtian.

Sure enough, Ye Chen glanced at it and saw a few big words carved on it… “Ye Lingtian, activate this…”
