Chapter 18 Heaven-Slaying Form 1: Shaking the Heavens! You're not strong enough, and neither am
The vanguard camp of the Shang army.
A tiny candle flame flickered uncertainly in the wind.
Gu Xuan sat cross-legged on the hard couch, focusing his inner energy.
The "Hundred Generations of True Spirits Picture," exuding an ancient and desolate aura, hangs silently in mid-air.
On the second page of the scroll, the figure of the black-clad boy holding a gun becomes even clearer.
I don't know if it's just my imagination.
The boy's resemblance to himself had increased from three parts to five parts.
But something even clearer than that figure...
They are the eyes of a boy.
A deep, almost tangible, and almost dazzling sense of regret!
Knowing that the outcome was already decided, he still clung to his spear, as if he wanted to tear the sky apart and hand the spear to the heavens in despair!
Just watching...
All of them can make one's soul tremble uncontrollably.
As if sensing this intention, the intent of the Shangqing Jietian Spear in the depths of Gu Xuan's sea of consciousness suddenly trembled violently.
"Buzz—"
A deep, resonant sound rippled through the sea of consciousness.
In Gu Xuan's mind, the scene of his battle with Nezha on the battlefield earlier that day flashed through his mind.
That shot—
With overwhelming force, it tore apart the innate spiritual treasure Hun Tian Ling, pierced through the protective immortal light of a true immortal, and moved with the momentum of thunder.
But in the end...
It was still blocked by the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.
"The will of Heaven..."
"Should it be like this?"
"If the spear cannot cut through the sky..."
"What kind of Heaven-Slaying Spear Intent is this?"
Gu Xuan slowly raised his eyes and looked at the boy in the painting again.
Looking into those eyes, I saw an almost overwhelming sense of regret and resentment.
The true words in the general outline of the "Shangqing Dongxuan Yuchen Zhang" came to mind.
"To seize the secrets of heaven, to reverse yin and yang, and to forcibly grasp at the last vestige of immortality!"
then......
Gu Xuan then thought of himself three days ago.
When he braved the Heavenly Punishment with his own flesh and blood and forcibly tore apart the shackles of the Nine Li, a crazy will burst forth from the deepest part of his bones, blood and consciousness.
Gu Xuan stared at the surging crimson-gold immortal light within his body and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he slowly lowered his head.
Looking at his right hand, covered in rough calluses, he murmured self-deprecatingly.
"Breaking the shackles of the Nine Li, obtaining the Shangqing True Technique, condensing the intent of the Heavenly Spear, breaking through two realms in a single day..."
"I almost forgot that this gun intent relies on..."
"It's never been some kind of celestial or dignified existence!"
He crawled through piles of corpses in Beihai for three years, relying on his ruthless indifference to life.
But now that he has become a celestial being and obtained the Daoist teachings of a sage, he has unknowingly acquired a touch of the refined manners that immortals value.
The intent of the Heaven-Slaying Spear...
It's not some exquisite immortal magic.
What about gathering and accumulating energy, circulating magical power, communicating with heaven and earth, and borrowing the power of laws...?
It's all a vain pursuit of the trivial while neglecting the essential!
Instead of worrying about these things...
It would be better to compress that extreme sense of resentment—"If Heaven and Earth are ruthless, then I will defy Heaven"—into a single point at the tip of the spear...
Then--
In the purest and most violent way, a single thrust of the spear!
"Buzz—!"
Just as Gu Xuanming realized this.
The intent of the Heaven-Slaying Spear within his sea of consciousness suddenly surged forth!
Countless insights and thoughts merged into one, transforming into a ten-zhang-thick beam of azure-gold light that soared into the sky from the sea of consciousness.
"boom--!"
A beam of cyan-gold light pierced through the tents, tore through the night sky, and illuminated half of the Shang army camp as if it were daytime.
Outside the camp, the night patrol soldiers suddenly cried out in alarm, and the sound of armor plates clashing together filled the air.
"It's the vanguard's main tent, it's General Gu!"
"This intent from the gun... is terrifying!"
"Quickly! Go and report to the general!"
The sounds of hurried footsteps, screams, and clashing weapons drifted from afar.
But under the emerald pillar of light, all sounds seemed to be isolated in another world.
Beneath the blue and gold hues...
Gu Xuan slowly closed his eyes.
A single spear technique, etched into one's very soul.
The Heaven-Slaying Technique!
—Awe-inspiring!
……
After a long time.
The faint noise coming from outside the tent brought Gu Xuan back from his reverie.
He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
Looking up, a condensed, azure-gold beam of light shot straight into the sky, completely tearing apart the top of the tent.
That domineering and unparalleled sharpness even made the surrounding void tremble slightly.
Gu Xuan remained calm and casually raised his hand to grab something.
With a grasp, the towering pillar of light responded and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing back into his body.
His gaze then fell on the Void-Breaking Spear placed on the weapon rack to the side.
The gun body is as black as ink, with the dragon pattern on the gun body subtly concealed.
Gu Xuan stood up, walked to the weapon rack, and raised his hand to grasp the cold spear shaft.
There was no deliberate attempt to create momentum, nor was there any use of any celestial magic power.
He simply and casually sent a wisp of the "Heaven-Shaking" spear intent he had just comprehended onto the tip of the spear.
only......
Just a trace.
"Buzz—!"
The moment the spear intent was injected, the Void-Piercing Spear suddenly erupted with a violent tremor!
The ancient dragon pattern on the gun, which was originally calm and serene, began to flicker and tremble rapidly, as if subjected to some unbearable and terrifying pressure.
A very strange, high-frequency vibration came from the gun barrel.
The gunshots, which should have been high-pitched and bloodthirsty, carried a faint hint of a desperate, unbearable wail!
Gu Xuan raised an eyebrow, lowered his head, and stared intently.
At the tip of the spear, a trace of domineering and unparalleled Heaven-Slaying Spear Intent had not yet been fully injected.
"Click."
A crack two fingers wide suddenly appeared on the surface of the spear tip.
The crack isn't deep...
But in Gu Xuan's eyes, it was clearly visible.
The trembling sound of the gun barrel near my ears grew increasingly rapid and mournful.
It felt as if it could explode into a pile of scrap metal at any moment under the oppressive atmosphere.
Seeing this, Gu Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately dispelled his spear intent.
The violent trembling of the Void-Piercing Spear gradually subsided.
The two-finger crack on the tip of the spear was slowly healing within the self-repairing array inherent in the high-grade acquired spiritual treasure.
But Gu Xuan saw it all and understood.
A top-grade spiritual treasure is already a divine weapon on the battlefield of the mortal realm, coveted by countless generals.
But the material composition of the Void-Breaking Spear...
Even with the dragon tendons of a dragon clan immortal or dragon general, it is still far too shallow!
If the "Heaven-Shaking" technique were to be used with full force in a life-or-death battle, the Void-Breaking Spear would likely shatter and disintegrate before even touching the enemy.
Gu Xuan held the gun and stared at it silently for a moment.
Then, he uttered four words in a flat tone.
"You're not strong enough."
Hearing the owner's evaluation.
The Void-Breaking Spear trembled slightly and let out a low moan, as if it were unwilling or pleading.
Gu Xuan glanced at it calmly, without the slightest hint of mockery, and added a casual remark.
"I'm not enough either."
The words fell.
Gu Xuan once again focused his divine sense and looked at the "Hundred Generations True Spirit Diagram".
This time, he didn't look at the boy's eyes, which were filled with regret, but instead looked directly at the lower right corner of the painting.
Current unlock progress: 53%
The second stage of unlocking the origin is just around the corner.
As long as you obtain the second stage of the source's blessing...
His strength will surely reach a whole new level.
At that time, even if we face Nezha again, we won't need to rely on unexpected spear attacks to break through his defenses, as we have today.
Gu Xuan stared at the number quietly.
Now, Nezha is in charge of Xiqi City.
Having experienced the power of the Heaven-Slaying Spear during the day, Nezha will undoubtedly go all out in the next battle.
It is impossible to have such a "good thing" as today, where the force of the counterattack deflects the spear's edge and harvests the true spirit of the calamity.
With this thought in mind, Gu Xuan decisively withdrew his gaze.
"Since Xiqi City is beyond our reach..."
"Then let's find another place where we can kill."
He grabbed the Broken Void Spear and lifted the heavy tent flap.
Facing the howling cold wind outside, he strode towards Mo Liqing's central command tent.
