Chapter 935: Taihao Exterminating Demon Spear

Wang Chen could be absolutely certain that this spearhead, engraved with the character “Zhu,” was no ordinary treasure.

Even within the Haotian Realm, it would stand out as extraordinary!

It is well known that artifacts bearing the character “Zhu” often have grand origins, such as the Exterminating Immortal Sword, Exterminating God Bow, and Exorcising Evil Seal—all of which are celebrated as Renowned Spiritual Treasures.

Wang Chen himself possessed a formidable Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil, which had aided him in vanquishing countless Evil Spirits and Spirit Beasts.

What intrigued Wang Chen was the nature of this spearhead—what was it meant to exterminate?

The spearhead was merely a fragment of a long spear; though it was the most vital part, it required a spear shaft to be fully functional.

Using the Seven-Pronged Spear was merely a makeshift solution. Wang Chen could distinctly sense the immense destructive power of the spearhead, yet for some reason, it was in an extremely weakened state.

Wang Chen channeled a substantial amount of Life energy into it, but it had little effect and failed to awaken its destructive power.

Perhaps it required spiritual energy?

Wang Chen pondered this as he laid the spear down on the table.

The moment he released the Seven-Pronged Spear, the spearhead fell silent, its glow fading away.

After a moment’s thought, Wang Chen retrieved the demon pearl he had previously gained from his storage space.

This trophy was also highly intriguing and worthy of further study; it might prove to be of great use to him.

However, Wang Chen was taken aback when, as soon as he took out the demon pearl, the engraved spearhead on the table suddenly radiated a crimson light.

At the same time, the demon pearl in his hand began to glow as well.

The two items resonated with each other in an unexpected manner!

Wang Chen’s eyes flickered with curiosity as he placed the demon pearl onto the spearhead to observe what would happen.

Before the demon pearl could even touch the dark golden spearhead, the red light emanating from it instantly transformed into slender, thread-like tendrils, swiftly enveloping the demon pearl.

It was forcefully snatched from Wang Chen’s grasp!

Wang Chen barely had time to react before a dazzling burst of light erupted before him, flooding his vision with a blinding whiteness that obscured everything.

When his sight returned, the Seven-Pronged Spear remained on the table, and the spearhead showed no further signs of activity.

But the valuable demon pearl had vanished completely, leaving not even a trace behind!

Wang Chen was utterly speechless—he had hoped to exchange that demon pearl for high-quality cultivation resources.

Instead…

It had been consumed by the spearhead?

Recalling the earlier events, Wang Chen furrowed his brow and picked up the Seven-Pronged Spear once more, gently running his fingers over the spearhead.

Despite his caution, the sharpness of the spearhead was beyond his expectations, and a thin cut appeared on his thumb.

A drop of blood welled up, only to be swiftly absorbed by the spearhead!

At the same moment, Wang Chen felt a sudden jolt in his mind.

He sensed a peculiar connection forming between his soul awareness and the spear in his hand—or more precisely, the spearhead. It felt remarkably similar to the process of refining a magical artifact.

Not only that, but the Exterminating Demon Spearhead also transmitted a vast amount of information to Wang Chen.

Due to the sudden influx of information bombarding his consciousness, Wang Chen was stunned for the duration of an incense stick before he could regain his composure and barely managed to digest the feedback from the spearhead!

As Wang Chen had previously suspected, this spearhead originated from the Haotian Realm.

However, the information did not reveal which extraordinary practitioner had brought it down. Still, it was certain that this spearhead was part of the Taihao Exterminating Demon Spear!

The other parts included the spear shaft, spear tassel, and spear butt, but their whereabouts remained unknown.

Only when the spear blade, spear shaft, spear tassel, and spear butt were reassembled could the true destructive power of the Taihao Exterminating Demon Spear be unleashed!

Moreover, the most important and abundant content Wang Chen received was a set of spear techniques.

As Wang Chen sorted through this information, vivid images flashed in his mind.

A blurry martial artist demonstrated the complete Exterminating Demon Spear Technique for him!

The Wildfire Spear Technique that Wang Chen had learned and mastered was considered a combat skill, but compared to this Exterminating Demon Spear Technique, it appeared utterly crude and inferior; the two techniques were not even in the same league!

Of course, the Exterminating Demon Spear Technique could only achieve its full power when paired with the Taihao Exterminating Demon Spear.

Wang Chen speculated that the one who had brought the Taihao Exterminating Demon Spear and this technique into the Cangqing Realm was most likely the original owner of the cave at the bottom of the pond.

This extraordinary practitioner not only built the teleportation array leading to the Cangqing Realm but also left behind marks in this world.

However, with the passage of time, many secrets had long been buried and required relentless excavation.

Once the complete Taihao Exterminating Demon Spear was assembled, perhaps there would be great surprises!

Wang Chen held the Seven-Pronged Spear, feeling he was quite fortunate; who would have thought that on his first solo mission, he would encounter such an opportunity?

It was as if fate had destined him to obtain the Taihao Exterminating Demon Spear!

Wang Chen’s heart stirred, and he opened the panel to take a look.

【Fortune: 20】

Could it be that his luck had increased, granting him such an encounter?

The next morning, Wang Chen spoke with the old village chief for nearly half an hour, repeatedly asking the latter about the process of obtaining the Exterminating Demon Spearhead.

The old village chief, who felt completely under Wang Chen’s control, shared everything without reservation, as if he were eager to recount even his youthful misdeeds, like peeking at the widow next door while she bathed.

Only after Wang Chen could no longer extract any useful information did he let the old man go.

In fact, he could not blame Zhang Shi Tou either.

Wang Chen guessed that the extermination incident involving Zhang Shi Tou was most likely a killing trap set by the Qianlong Society targeting him.

Additionally, within the Linjiang Wei Hall, there definitely existed inside informants from the Qianlong Society!

The collaboration between the Qianlong Society and demon forces was far beyond his expectations.

The court and the martial world, traitors and heretics, humans and demons—all made this world extraordinarily complex; accomplishing a conquest over the entire world and obtaining its source was undoubtedly not an easy task.

Wang Chen felt that he had merely taken the first step of a long journey.

“The road is long and full of obstacles, but progress will come. As long as I keep going, the future is bright!”

He warned the old village chief a few times before mounting his steed, the yellow horse, and returning to Linjiang City.

Upon arriving at the Linjiang Wei Hall, Wang Chen directly sought out Zongqi Pang Tai.

“This, this is…”

Seeing Wang Chen produce the head of the Bloodthirsty Beast, Pang Tai’s eyes widened like saucers: “Bloodthirsty Beast?”

Wang Chen nodded: “It should be.”

Following the procedure, he had to submit his gains as proof in order to obtain merit from this achievement.

The head was the best evidence of his accomplishment!

“Good, good, good!”

Pang Tai exclaimed excitedly, rubbing his hands together as he said, “Ling Zhiyuan, you have done a great job this time! I will report to the capital right away to commend you!”

The Bloodthirsty Beast was a mid-to-high-level demon, so killing one would yield at least a significant merit.

And as Wang Chen’s direct superior, Pang Tai would also receive a share of the credit.
