"puff……"

Xiao Yu clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

This wasn't from anger.

The Sky-Splitting Spear was his natal spiritual weapon, closely connected to his life essence. Now that it has been forcibly taken away by Chi Yuan, it will naturally cause damage to his life essence.

"How is this possible?!"

Xiao Yu was utterly horrified, unable to believe that Chi Yuan had stripped him of his natal spirit weapon in a single exchange.

This wasn't simply taking it from him; it was forcibly severing all ties between the Sky-Splitting Spear and him.

In other words, the Sky-Splitting Spear no longer belongs to him at all. Even if he were to take it back, the Sky-Splitting Spear would no longer be his natal spirit weapon.

What kind of sorcery did that bastard use?

Xiao Yu's heart was bleeding. His natal spirit weapon was different from other spirit artifacts. It was closely related to his own cultivation progress and even to his breakthrough to the Venerable rank. Chi Yuan took away his natal spirit weapon, which was tantamount to cutting off his arm!

Holding the newly acquired Sky-Splitting Spear, Chi Yuan's eyes revealed a strange look. The power of the "Soldier" Secret Technique was even greater than he had imagined. When the difference in strength between the opponent and himself was not too great, he could not only instantly control the opponent's spiritual weapon, but also forcibly erase all connections between the spiritual weapon and its original owner, turning it into his own.

At this moment, the Sky-Splitting Spear completely belonged to him. Even the spear spirit, which had just begun to develop intelligence, showed him no hostility or resistance, but only absolute obedience, as if he were the master of the spear.

Outside the Seven Absolutes Pagoda.

Seeing Chi Yuan forcibly seize Xiao Yu's Heaven-Splitting Spear, everyone from the Holy Lords of the various Holy Lands to the low-ranking disciples of the Moon Reflection Sect was stunned. What had just happened? How could Xiao Yu's spiritual weapon have fallen into Chi Yuan's hands in the blink of an eye?

"Yu'er!"

Wan Tianren's face was no longer smug. He didn't know that Xiao Yu's natal spirit weapon had been completely stripped away, but seeing how Chi Yuan had so easily neutralized Xiao Yu's attack and taken away Xiao Yu's Sky-Splitting Spear, he was afraid that even if Xiao Yu went all out, he might not be able to defeat Chi Yuan.

Xiao Yu is in danger!

The other Holy Lords also became solemn. They originally thought that Chi Yuan would be powerless against the combat power of a high-level Spirit Sect, but they did not expect that Chi Yuan was so monstrous. With only the peak cultivation of Spirit Emperor, he actually had the heaven-defying combat power to rival a high-level Spirit Sect!

It now seems that even the strongest imperial prince might not be able to defeat Chi Yuan with certainty, and the weaker ones might even fall into Chi Yuan's hands...

"He truly is my husband."

An Yuxi's lips curled into a beautiful arc, her gentle face full of pride. Everyone thought that her husband could not cause any trouble in the trials where the Spirit Sect was rampant, but how many people knew that her husband was the strongest shark!

The fourth floor of the Seven Absolutes Pagoda.

"You devil, give me back my gun!"

Xiao Yu roared and rushed to the front of Chi Yuan. His fist was like a dragon, and he unleashed a terrifying force like a raging torrent, which swept towards Chi Yuan with overwhelming force.

Chi Yuan had already stood up and, facing the sweeping force of the punch, also unleashed a powerful punch.

boom!

Chi Yuan's fist slammed into the surging airwave, as if hitting a high-speed monster. The immense impact was like a volcanic eruption, sending Xiao Yu flying backward.

In contrast, Chi Yuan's lower body was as stable as a rock and as immovable as a mountain.

The difference in quality is immediately apparent.

"You want me to return your gun? That depends on whether you can handle it."

The character "兵" (soldier) appeared on Chi Yuan's palm, and the tip of the Sky-Splitting Spear immediately emitted a fierce spear aura like a hurricane, piercing the sky like a golden rainbow and shooting towards Xiao Yu, who had not yet regained his footing.

Xiao Yu's expression changed drastically. The intense sense of crisis made his scalp tingle. He reflexively took out a tortoise-shaped spiritual artifact to protect himself. A huge spiritual tortoise appeared around Xiao Yu, instantly forming an indestructible defensive barrier.

Xiao Yu was still unaware of the danger. In the nick of time, he took out a blue light shield and used his spiritual power to shield himself.

Clang!

A violent explosion rang out, and the entire city wall trembled violently. Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the tortoise-shaped magical artifact, and in an instant, it almost collapsed under the impact of the Sky-Splitting Spear.

After barely managing to hold out for a moment, the spiritual tortoise finally succumbed to the impact of the Sky-Splitting Spear and shattered violently. The already overburdened tortoise-shaped spiritual artifact also disintegrated amidst crackling sounds.

However, the Heaven-Splitting Spear still possessed undiminished power. Carrying the immense power enhanced by the "Soldier" secret technique, it crashed into the azure shield with a loud bang, sending Xiao Yu, who was supporting the shield, flying backward repeatedly.

Just then, a third person finally arrived in this space; it was none other than Yun Teng, the imperial son of the Yunlan Holy Land.

When Yun Teng arrived, he saw Xiao Yu being beaten and was stunned. He had fought with Xiao Yu before. Although Xiao Yu's strength was not as good as his, he still had the combat power of a Spirit Sect at the eighth level, close to the ninth level. Who could suppress Xiao Yu to this extent? Could it be another Holy Land Emperor's son, or a peak Spirit Sect of the Reflecting Moon Sect?

Turning his head in confusion, Yun Teng saw a figure he never expected.

Chi Yuan!

"How could he be this strong?!"

After carefully examining Chi Yuan's cultivation level and confirming that he was only at the peak of the Spirit Emperor realm, Yun Teng looked on in disbelief.

What kind of monster is this? A peak Spirit Emperor is actually suppressing a fifth-level Spirit Sect Holy Land Emperor's son.

No wonder everyone says that Chi Yuan has been possessed by a powerful demonic cultivator. If he hadn't been possessed, wouldn't Chi Yuan's talent have crushed Ye Chen to dust?

"Brother Yun, save me!"

At this moment, Xiao Yu urgently asked Yun Teng for help, his voice sounding like he was already struggling to hold on.

Yun Teng hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Xiao Yu's azure shield was about to be pierced by the Sky-Splitting Spear, he frowned and shouted at Chi Yuan, "Chi Yuan, stop this nonsense! Stop right now!"

Chi Yuan ignored him. Xiao Yu had just attacked with murderous intent, clearly intending to kill him. How could he show mercy? Even if he couldn't kill Xiao Yu, he would at least make Xiao Yu get out of the Seven Absolutes Tower.

"Break!"

Chi Yuan raised his hand and spread his five fingers, the character "兵" (soldier) on his palm shining brightly. In an instant, he poured unparalleled divine power into the Sky-Splitting Spear. With a crisp cracking sound, the Sky-Splitting Spear pierced through the blue light shield and stabbed into Xiao Yu's chest with immense weight.

"puff……"

Xiao Yu spat out another mouthful of blood. Although his spirit armor protected him and blocked the penetration of the Sky-Splitting Spear, the shockwave still severely injured him.

More importantly, the spirit armor wouldn't hold out for long. If things continued like this, he would die under his own Sky-Splitting Spear within three to five breaths.

"You just wait!"

Seeing that his spirit armor was about to be pierced, Xiao Yu glared at Chi Yuan with resentment. He dared not hold on any longer and with a thought, he forcibly withdrew from the trial, disappearing from in front of the Sky-Splitting Spear.

Seeing this, Yun Teng's expression turned ugly. He stared at Chi Yuan with a cold glint in his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?"

Chi Yuan ignored him, flicked his fingers, and the Sky-Splitting Spear flew back into his hand. Only then did he glance at Yun Teng, his eyes revealing an invincible air of "who else but me?": "Do you also want to die and get out?"
