Chapter 315: Champion’s Spear

…

In the battlefield between the two worlds, on the Tongyou Peak.

Four of the six auxiliary peaks around the main peak had already fallen. The last two were coincidentally located away from the main assault and managed to avoid destruction for the time being.

In the air above the main peak, Shang Bo was fighting with the assistance of the protection formation around the Tongyou Peak. As the battle raged on, the protection formation weakened significantly. There were at least four experts at the Martial Extermination Realm surrounding Shang Bo and they were slowly closing in on him. He was unable to move about as he wished.

The cultivators of the Azure Spiritual World had no idea if the Origin Tide earlier would damage either world, and they couldn’t be sure of what was happening outside of the battlefield between the two worlds.

Shang Bo was like a massive wall that stood between them and the Azure Origin World. He blocked off the spatial tunnel leading to the Azure Origin World and didn’t hesitate to use the protection formation of the Tongyou Peak to stop them. The Tongyou Peak which had been the foundation of the Tongyou Institution for twenty years crumbled as a result. From Shang Bo’s actions, those from the Azure Spiritual World could tell that the Tongyou Institution was cooking up some weird plot.

When Shang Bo killed one of their third layer Martial Extermination Realm experts earlier, he enraged those from the Azure Spiritual World. However, they didn’t dare to move recklessly when facing him. Neither did they dare to lose their rationality.

From the looks of it, Shang Bo managed to fuse his extermination origins to enter the large completion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm. If they forced him into a corner, he could easily drag a few of them down with him.

“Shang Bo, how long do you think you can hold out for? Are you really going to sacrifice yourself here?” A familiar voice echoed through the skies.

“What’s the point of stopping us? If we’re not mistaken, your Tongyou Institution should also be facing immense pressure back in the city due to the weird plan you guys came up with, right?”

“Instead of stopping us from closing the spatial tunnel here, you should return to the institution and deal with matters there! At least you’ll be able to keep the benefits you already obtained.”

Shang Bo swept his lance diagonally, forcing the only expert from the Changbai Holy Land who was actively attacking him back before snorting, “Hmph, stop wasting your time. As long as I’m here, you won’t be able to enter our Azure Origin World.”

As the words left his lips, four Martial Extermination Realm experts surrounding Shang Bo exchanged a glance and came to a quick understanding. Three of them released their special techniques to restrain Shang Bo’s Nine Firefly Lance as the through took the chance to slam his mid-grade weapon down against Shang Bo’s skull.

“Hah, Shang Bo might be strong, but more than 70 percent of his strength comes from his high-grade weapon. As long as we hold it down, he’ll lose a lot of his fighting ability! Defeating him won’t be a problem once that happens!”

That was the lesson the experts from the Azure Spiritual World had after their experience fighting Shang Bo over the past twenty years. When they fought him previously, there were always Martial Extermination Realm experts of the institution backing him up and they could never really restrain him.

Now that the others were stabilizing the situation back in the city, the experts of the Azure Spiritual World finally had a chance to gang up on Shang Bo! The Changbai Holy Land didn’t remain idle as they provided a weapon that directly countered Shang Bo. Now, they finally saw some hope of defeating the formidable deputy patriarch of the Tongyou Institution.

Shang Bo obviously didn’t think that his Nine Firefly Lance would be restrained so easily by the other party. He thought that he would be able to tear it free, but the fourth expert from the Azure Spiritual World who hailed from the Changbai Holy Land didn’t give him the chance to do so.

.

With life and death on the line, Shang Bo didn’t hesitate to send his inner qi into his lance and release it towards the three of them. Since he wouldn’t be able to retrieve it anyway, he might as well cause as much damage as he could with it.

Without the Nine Firefly Lance, Shang Bo became a toothless tiger. It was something the members of the Azure Spiritual World had been aiming for, and they finally achieved their goal.

The Martial Extermination Realm expert from the Changbai Holy Land locked onto Shang Bo as his weapon fell directly towards his skull. A smug look could be seen on his face as his weapon came crashing down.

When the four great races of the Liao Continent in the Azure Spiritual World resisted the influence of the holy lands, everyone could tell that they wanted to swallow the benefits in the battlefield between the two worlds alone. However, they failed to achieve their goal and those who died in the hands of the Tongyou Institution reached a terrifying number. The four great races could be said to have lost badly!

The recent events made it even more obvious. The Four Spiritual Peak that represented the authority of the four great races of the Liao Continent was flattened completely! With themselves close to destruction, they could only lower their heads and accept the holy lands’ assistance.

The scene before him was proof that the four great races couldn’t do without the Changbai Holy Land! With the Changbai Holy Land’s assistance, the opponent they couldn’t defeat was immediately restrained!

With glee filling his heart, the Martial Extermination Realm expert from the Changbai Holy Land sneered at Shang Bo. The moment he defeated the large completion stage Martial Extermination Realm expert before him, whatever plot the Tongyou Institution was brewing was bound to fall apart.

His ego was so inflated that he even imagined Shang Bo dying in his hands!

To his surprise, Shang Bo’s hands didn’t remain empty for long after releasing the Nine Firefly Lance. A long spear took its place before anyone noticed.

That was no ordinary spear. He didn’t take it out in a fit of panic to replace his lost weapon. Instead, it was a high-grade weapon that was in no way inferior to the Nine Firefly Lance.

The high-grade spear that perfectly suited his fighting style, the Champion’s Spear, finally appeared!

Since he used the Nine Firefly Lance, he had never been able to bring out his full strength. The Nine Firefly Lance was a high-grade weapon, but Shang Bo was never able to swing it around like a spear.

Now that he revealed his newly acquired high-grade spear, one could say that he had far surpassed the Shang Bo they were fighting moments ago.

Ever since the battle in the Mysterious Coral World and the subsequent destruction of the Four Spiritual Peak, Shang Bo collected a ton of treasures. Much of those treasures were of exceptionally high grade. The institution fully focused on crafting the Champion’s Spear after he handed over a huge portion of those treasures.

In fact, Shang Bo’s Champion’s Spear started production before the institution upgraded Shang Xia’s Scarlet Star Spear to a mid-grade weapon. Due to the immense difficulty of crafting a high-grade weapon, Shang Bo’s Champion’s Spear was completed after Shang Xia’s spear had completed its upgrade. One could imagine how long the refinement process took.

With the Champion’s Spear in hand, the aura around Shang Bo changed.

Facing the unavoidable attack from the Martial Extermination Realm expert from the Changbai Holy Land, Shang Bo stabbed his spear upwards without flinching in the slightest. A four colored ray of light emerged from the tip of his spear and seemed to become the only source of light in the world around them. It caught the attention of those surrounding him immediately.

The experts from the four great races of the Liao Continent of the Azure Spiritual World who were in charge of restraining Shang Bo’s Nine Firefly Lance felt a bad premonition rising in their hearts when the Champion's Spear first appeared in Shang Bo’s hand. The Martial Extermination Realm expert from the Changbai Holy Land was equally as panicky, but it was too late for him to retreat. He could only follow through and hope for the best.

A loud blast rang through the skies as countless golden shards filled the skies.

Without warning, the Nine Firefly Lance that had been suppressed by the three cultivators exploded. Countless shards contained Shang Bo’s inner qi as they flew in all directions, injuring the three.
