Free Web NovelChapter 1201: Chapter 1202: Spear of Space
As the Sea Demon stepped aside, the oppressive force on Xiao Tianyu vanished, and feeling lighter, he immediately ran towards the platform. Upon reaching it, the giant demons that had made way stared at Xiao Tianyu with fierce, bloodthirsty eyes.
Moreover, endless demonic power descended from the heavens, falling upon Xiao Tianyu. Now, however, with his Divine Power not suppressed, he paid no heed to the oppression from these demon beasts.
He walked step by step, crossing the platform only to find another Golden Hall, dazzlingly brilliant. However, the brilliance all came from the chains inside the hall.
On the chains, endless golden runes traversed, releasing terrifying sealing power. As one looked towards the end, the chains held an enormous demon beast at their peak. This beast reached a thousand meters in height, towering and all-covering with thick scales, inducing deep fear if seen from below.
Then, the beast’s gigantic pupils tilted downward, resting on Xiao Tianyu, its gaze was chilling as if penetrating one’s soul.
This giant demon was the Sea King, the demon god that ruled over the Endless Sea a thousand years ago.
A millennium ago, countless innocent lives were devoured by him, a being of extreme fierceness, sealed by Li Tian in the Sea King Palace to guard the Spear of Space-Time for ten thousand years.
Yet, Xiao Tianyu was unaffected by the fierce gaze of the opponent, simply because he was also a god, only suppressed here.
Next, the Sea King spoke: "You understand the Power of Laws, it seems you were once a god elevated above!"
"Indeed!" Xiao Tianyu frankly admitted, knowing well that the people of the Four Great Holy Lands did not understand the Power of Laws, but this giant demon clearly did, making it impossible to hide.
What’s more, Xiao Tianyu had no need to hide.
"Here for the Spear of Space?" The Sea King’s gaze suddenly softened.
"Precisely!"
"Did he send you?"
"Yes!" Xiao Tianyu nodded.
Then the Sea King continued: "Even though you might be a frightening Martial God outside, here you are merely an ant of the Celestial Spirit Realm, subject to my stamp. What qualification do you have to take the Spear of Space? In this realm, I am king and supreme, and all beings are under my control, you are no exception!"
As his words fell, the Sea King’s demeanor grew colder.
Xiao Tianyu, unfazed, said: "You have been sealed here for ten thousand years, have you ever considered the day of liberation? Moreover, he sent me which surely means he has enough confidence in me, thus I can certainly retrieve the Spear of Space-Time. I believe once the Spear of Space is retrieved, all restrictions here will cease, and you shall regain your freedom!"
Finishing his words, Xiao Tianyu looked directly into the other’s eyes.
Just as Xiao Tianyu expected, the Sea King’s gaze changed, becoming excited and ferocious, thirsty for blood and seeing all beings as ants. Ten thousand years had he been suppressed by Li Tian here to guard the Spear of Space-Time, and if given the chance, would he not wish to leave here?
Seeing the dawn of hope, how could he not be excited, ferocious, bloodthirsty, and desire freedom?
Only the blood of all living beings across the realms could fill the loneliness of his heart over the millennia.
However, the Sea King was no fool, asking: "How can I trust you?"
"Then you can choose to refuse!" Xiao Tianyu’s voice was indifferent.
Upon hearing this, the Sea King wore a contemplative look, understanding this was an opportunity he could not easily pass up, especially since the other was sent by Li Tian, surely capable of retrieving the Spear of Space. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
His only concern was whether Li Tian left a deadly move when he sealed him here to guard the Spear of Space, and if Xiao Tianyu truly obtained the Spear, would he be spared?
Nevertheless, this was the only chance for the Sea King to escape, giving up was naturally impossible.
Finally, the Sea King spoke to Xiao Tianyu: "Alright, I agree, yet whether you are the fated one for the Spear of Space depends on yourself. Should you be unable to retrieve it, I shall ensure you vanish into ashes!"
Was it a trap after all?
Despite thinking so, Xiao Tianyu remained composed, his gaze steady.
He asked: "May I know where the Spear of Space is?"
"Behind me!" As these words fell, the Sea King’s body shrank, transforming into a demonic and handsome youth, his gaze wickedly staring at Xiao Tianyu. Demon beasts at a certain level of cultivation could not only speak human tongue but also transform into human forms.
Indeed, after the Sea King’s body shrank a thousandfold, a staircase appeared behind him, at the top of which was embedded a Divine Artifact, shimmering with golden light.
"The Spear of Space?"
"Correct, this is the Spear of Space-Time. Retrieving it is not easy, it depends on your fortune!" The Sea King’s voice was cold.
Xiao Tianyu stepped forward, ascending the staircase, and immediately, endless power of laws descended from the void, terrifyingly unknown, causing his heart to seize, nearly stumbling off the steps.
Turning, watching Xiao Tianyu’s back, the Sea King also felt a surge of excitement. Should Xiao Tianyu succeed, the seal on the chains could be freed, making each step extremely tense for him.
It could even be said that in this place, apart from a Martial God, none could withstand the power of laws on those steps.
This was precisely why Li Tian sent Xiao Tianyu to retrieve the Spear of Space.
Without being a Martial God, one couldn’t ascend the steps, and it required a determined will. Xiao Tianyu once confined in the Eternal Hell, endured eons of reincarnation, his mindset unmatched across the heavens.
Thump, thump, thump~
Understanding the laws on the steps, Xiao Tianyu continued to ascend, causing even the Sea King to tremble internally. Guarding this place for ten thousand years, he naturally knew the terror of law embodied in those steps.
The Sea King believed even at his peak, he’d never ascend to the summit and retrieve the Spear of Space, yet Xiao Tianyu’s figure moved upward, heedless of the blood staining his robes.
This made the Sea King aware of Xiao Tianyu’s strength possibly far exceeding his own.
Thus, in the Sea King’s eerie eyes flashed a cold killing intent; once free, he could not afford to let Xiao Tianyu leave the Sea King Palace alive.
Every strong entity has the resolve to unify the world, the Sea King included, hence as long as Xiao Tianyu exists, he’ll always be his greatest obstacle, only here, with Xiao Tianyu’s cultivation sealed, is the best chance to slay him.
If Xiao Tianyu departed, killing him would be difficult for the Sea King.
Of the Sea King’s thoughts, Xiao Tianyu was naturally unaware, now his sole aim was how to retrieve the Spear of Space.
