"Ah?"
Su Changkong was startled, almost instinctively throwing out the iron shard without choosing to resist directly. At the same time, he employed the Divine Deer Floating Light technique, his body flickered like a fleeting shadow, disappearing from the spot and instantly flashing miles away.
"Chi!"
At the same time, the place where Su Changkong had originally stood was sliced into many fine cracks in the vacuum, revealing the pitch-black Chaotic Void. The afterimage left by Su Changkong was also shredded to bits. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Those pale black lines radiated an impregnable divine might that could cleave everything apart.
"This... If I had resisted just now, even using the Mysterious Turtle Golden Armor, I would have been instantly torn apart... What is this?"
Su Changkong stood in place, looking at the cracks that showed no signs of healing, feeling somewhat horrified.
The pale-black lines on the iron shard, each one like a blade that could cleave everything apart, were hard to confront head-on!
After watching those pale-black lines dance around for a bit, they contracted back onto the iron shard, and everything returned to calm.
"What is the origin of this iron shard? Did the Blood Jade Hall deliberately place it in their storage ring intending to trap whoever follows?"
From a distance, Su Changkong looked on at the now tranquil iron shard, his heart filled with suspicion that perhaps Blood Jade Hall foresaw his potential fall in the future, hence setting up a trap inside the storage ring.
"This iron shard contains a strange power, similar to Blade Intent... but far more superior than Blade Intent. Just now, even my Primordial Spirit seemed to resonate!"
Su Changkong furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.
When he first saw the iron shard, Su Changkong felt an inexplicable attraction; it was a response from his Primordial Spirit, as if the power within the iron shard was related to his Primordial Spirit!
"So... let’s give it a try!"
Eventually, Su Changkong decided to experiment. For safety, he withdrew hundreds of miles away to a position near the exit of the cave mansion. Just in case something went wrong, he would immediately avoid the brunt.
Whoosh!
Hundreds of miles away, Su Changkong sat cross-legged. With a thought, a golden Yuan God in the shape of a small figure flew out from the Sea of Consciousness in his glabella. Although not large, it exuded a deity-like authority.
The Primordial Spirit figure slowly approached the black iron shard, while Su Changkong focused completely, instinctively feeling that this iron shard was extraordinary and needed to be handled with care.
"Humming!"
When the Primordial Spirit figure neared the iron shard within a few miles, the shard seemed to detect the presence of the Primordial Spirit and began to vibrate rapidly.
On the surface of the iron shard, the pale-black patterns swiftly intertwined with each other, sketching out a vague humanoid shadow like a brush would do.
This shadow was vague and darkly pale, only the size of a palm, but it seemed larger than the heavens and the earth, radiating an authority that seemed capable of annihilating everything, decimating the heavens and the earth!
"Is this... a Primordial Spirit?"
Su Changkong couldn’t help but his pupils contracted, and he was somewhat shocked.
Because this vague figure wasn’t a real creature, but instead a powerful will combined and elevated into a Primordial Spirit!
Having arrived in the Ancient Holy Country, aside from himself, Su Changkong had seen more than one Divine Body Martial Saints, but he had not encountered anyone else who had cultivated a Primordial Spirit.
And within this black iron shard, there seemed to be something akin to a Primordial Spirit!
"It’s not a complete Primordial Spirit... more like a manifestation of a part of the Primordial Spirit power, left by a powerful being who cultivated their Primordial Spirit."
But soon, Su Changkong discovered the key.
The darkly pale, vague figure showed no emotional fluctuations, no signs of life or autonomous consciousness—it wasn’t a complete Primordial Spirit, but rather a part of the Primordial Spirit power left by a powerful being who had cultivated their Primordial Spirit.
"The person who left this Primordial Spirit power in the iron shard... must be an extremely fearsome powerful being, simply leaving part of their Primordial Spirit power attached to an object for so long, something I can’t do!"
Su Changkong said to himself, realizing that the being who left part of the Primordial Spirit power definitely surpassed him, at least in the application of the Primordial Spirit!
While Su Changkong was contemplating, the darkly pale figure flashed a brilliant sharpness in its eyes. It raised its head and stared at Su Changkong’s Primordial Spirit, as if offended.
"Chi!"
Suddenly, the darkly pale figure moved, transforming into a darkly pale thread that flashed and vanished, directly charging at Su Changkong’s golden Primordial Spirit figure.
At the same time, Su Changkong felt a chill in his heart, sensing a strong threat.
"Humming!"
Not daring to be careless, Su Changkong pushed his Primordial Spirit power to the limit. The golden figure shone brightly, transforming into a primitive, ancient Blade-shaped Primordial Spirit, boldly facing the challenge.
"Clang!"
The two Primordial Spirits collided, emitting a sound that echoed throughout the Floating Cloud Cave Mansion, visible ripples surged through the air like waves, and slight contact would result in devastating destruction.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
After one collision, the darkly pale Primordial Spirit thread did not pause for even a moment, continuously attacking Su Changkong’s Blade-shaped Primordial Spirit. Neither gave way to the other, colliding fiercely.
With every collision, Su Changkong felt an indescribable sensation—it was the first time he had ever encountered another person’s Primordial Spirit.
"This unknown, darkly pale Primordial Spirit is no match for me... It’s just part of a top-tier powerful being’s Primordial Spirit power manifested, a rootless stray. My Primordial Spirit, however, is a complete Primordial Spirit!"
