Chapter 17 Astonishing Power
Although this short spear is only of mid-grade, if it can activate the demon soul, its power is no less than that of a regular high-grade magic weapon!
"only……"
Upon thinking of this, Chen Ye's expression became somewhat strange.
Although Zhou Heng had refined the short spear, perhaps due to insufficient spiritual strength, he was unable to unleash its full power, which actually benefited him.
"Since it's offered to me willingly, I have no choice but to accept it."
Chen Ye gripped the short spear, channeled his spiritual energy to probe inside, and quickly found the mark left by Zhou Heng. With a thought, he easily erased the mark.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ye gathered his divine sense and imprinted his mark on the short spear.
His original plan was to find a suitable mid-grade magic weapon after his breakthrough, and this short spear was of just the right grade and belonged to the same type as the Water-Splitting Spear, which perfectly matched Chen Ye's attack habits.
If an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of Spirit Gathering wanted to refine a mid-grade magic weapon, it would take at least half a day, and there was a high chance of failure.
But this problem simply doesn't exist for Chen Ye.
His spiritual power already surpasses that of most late-stage Spirit Condensation cultivators, so refining a mid-grade magic weapon would be a piece of cake for him.
Less than a quarter of an hour had passed.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Chen Ye had a thought, the short spear transformed into a streak of blue light and shot out, cutting through the air like lightning. It moved back and forth in the narrow corridor, its speed clearly much faster than the Fen Shui Thorn.
"Not bad, not bad."
Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction. Remembering that a demon soul had been refined into the short spear, he suddenly increased his divine soul power and poured it into it.
"Moo!!"
With a deep roar, the cyan short spear once again emitted a large amount of water mist. However, unlike when Zhou Heng used it, this water mist instantly condensed into a giant phantom of a demonic beast.
"This is... a jade-armored rhinoceros?"
Looking at the ferocious beast with its skin as hard as armor and a single horn on its head, a look of surprise flashed in Chen Ye's eyes.
According to the "Records of Sea Beasts", the Azure Armored Rhinoceros is a first-tier monster that lives in swamps. Due to its huge size and violent temper, it is an extremely difficult monster to deal with among monsters of the same tier.
More importantly, the single horn on the top of the Azure Armored Rhinoceros's head is incredibly hard and naturally possesses spiritual patterns, making it an extremely rare material for refining weapons!
"No wonder the Water-Splitting Spear was damaged in just one collision; it turns out this short spear was made from the horn of a jade-armored rhinoceros."
A thought flashed through Chen Ye's mind: to test the power of the short spear after it had activated its demonic soul. He directly manipulated the short spear to stab at the wall on one side.
"roar!"
The illusory image of the Azure Armored Rhinoceros roared as it stomped the ground, its short spear enveloped in surging demonic mist, like a savage beast crashing into a wall!
boom!!
A tremendous roar suddenly erupted, and the thick wooden wall, as fragile as paper, was smashed to pieces by the Jade Rhinoceros.
It should be noted that the wood used to build the demon-catching ship was all spirit wutong wood that had grown on Jinwu Island for over a hundred years. Its hardness far exceeded that of iron and stone, yet it was easily smashed into a large hole.
Furthermore, the illusory image of the Azure Armored Rhinoceros showed no sign of dissipating, passing through four or five rooms before finally turning into a cloud of mist once more.
"This..." Chen Ye clicked his tongue in astonishment.
It was fortunate that Zhou Heng's soul strength was insufficient; otherwise, if he had been able to unleash the full power of the short spear, he would probably be the one smashed to pieces now.
"Unfortunately, while its power is considerable, the energy consumption... is something that ordinary cultivators cannot afford."
Chen Ye recalled the cyan short spear to his hand, carefully examined it, and found that this attack alone had consumed at least one-third of his spiritual energy reserves, and nearly 20% of his divine soul power.
In other words, with Chen Ye's current cultivation level, he can only activate the Azure Armored Rhinoceros Demon Soul three times at most, after which he will have to immediately recover the consumed spiritual power and divine soul power.
"It seems that this level of attack cannot be used indefinitely, but it can be used together with the Soul-Suppressing Sound as a trump card."
As Chen Ye pondered, he took out a pill to restore his spiritual power and popped it into his mouth.
However, at that moment, a roaring sound entered their ears again.
"Huh? Didn't I stop attacking? Why is there still noise?"
Chen Ye was puzzled for a moment, but he immediately realized that the sound was not caused by him, but came from the cargo hold at the bottom!
"Li Hongnian".
Chen Ye's expression shifted, and he quickly grabbed the blue short gun and rushed towards the lower cabin.
Meanwhile, outside the cargo hold.
Li Hongnian's face was cold and sinister. He casually swung his sword, slashing at the vortex blade wheel that was tearing through the air.
Without sufficient spiritual power to manipulate it, even though the Vortex Blade Wheel is a top-grade magic weapon, it is no match for the mid-grade magic sword in his hand.
With a crisp clang, the vortex blade wheel was unsurprisingly knocked away and landed on the ground with a dim, dim light.
On the other side, Gong Chengyuan was covered in frost, his hair was gray, and his face was ashen.
He hastily hid in the cargo hold not just to save his own life, but to ensure his own safety first, and then seek a way out of the predicament.
Fortunately, Gong Chengyuan had a very good habit: he kept life-saving pills close to his body in critical moments.
For example, the "Blood-Burning Pill" is the crimson pill he took out of his pocket when hunting the Spirit Whisker Whale.
This elixir is extremely potent. After taking it, it can quickly replenish the spiritual energy consumed in a short period of time, but the side effects are also very severe. Each use will cause irreversible damage to one's cultivation potential.
But Gong Chengyuan couldn't care less about that at the time. He took a Blood Burning Pill, and once his spiritual power had recovered, he immediately rushed out of the cargo hold to quell the rebellion.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Li Hongnian already knew that Gong Chengyuan possessed such a pill, so when Gong Chengyuan rushed out, he immediately used his movement technique to create distance and avoid a direct confrontation with Gong Chengyuan.
In addition, Gong Chengyuan's old injuries had not yet healed, and he was ambushed by Li Hongnian. He had taken two Blood Burning Pills in two days, and his body was already extremely weak. He could only hold on for less than half a quarter of an hour before he collapsed again.
Looking at the extremely disheveled Gong Chengyuan opposite him, Li Hongnian said indifferently.
"I thought you could hold out for a few hours, but I didn't expect you to come out so quickly. But it's good, killing you sooner will settle things with the Gong family."
As Li Hongnian finished speaking, just as he was about to step forward and end Gong Chengyuan's life, a dark light suddenly attacked him from behind.
"court death!"
Li Hongnian snorted coldly, turned around abruptly and slashed out with his sword. The two magical artifacts collided and burst into a piercing and sharp clang!
However, he was, after all, a cultivator at the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and his strength was definitely not comparable to those rogue cultivators that Chen Ye had killed before.
Whoosh!
The Water-Splitting Thorn was damaged again, and when it returned to Chen Ye's hands, a sizable crack had appeared on the tip of the blade!
