Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1223: Chapter 1224: Who Can Shake It

The Sea King Palace’s ultimate treasure, the Spear of Space, tore through the night sky and nailed itself into the main gate of the Desolate Continent Sword Palace. Anyone on the Nine Provinces Saint List who touched it would die without a grave. So far, two proud geniuses on the Saint List had already been silently executed by the Spear of Space.

With that, the news went berserk, setting off a boundless storm across the Desolate Continent. A hundred thousand experts gathered beneath the Desolate Continent Sword Palace, and even the Nine Provinces Divine Emperor immediately rode a Teleportation Array to rush over.

However, so what if he was a Divine Emperor?

As for the Governor of the Profound Yellow Divine Continent, the Profound Yellow Divine Emperor, his Divine Power could shake heaven and earth—yet what about now? He still couldn’t budge the Spear of Space that pierced straight into the firmament, couldn’t even endure the Power of Space contained within it, and was blasted away, vomiting blood.

An era-defining Divine Emperor, Profound Yellow, ended in utter defeat, and even told the Void Sword Emperor: if you can shake it, then I, Profound Yellow, will never interfere in the contest for it.

The Profound Yellow Divine Emperor couldn’t move it—could the Void Sword Emperor possibly shake it and obtain the legendary Divine Artifact, the Spear of Space? Many present didn’t think much of the Void Sword Emperor’s chances, even if he was a Great Emperor of his era.

At this moment, countless gazes fell on the Void Sword Emperor. The Divine Power on his body could shake the world, endless vortices churned in the void, and behind him a primordial savage beast rose and overlapped with his figure—that was his Life Spirit.

That primordial savage beast was colossal, covering half the sky. Its entire body seemed to brim with raw power, and not only that, Sword Qi crisscrossed all over it. That patch of sky in the void was already shrouded by a Sword Power that could annihilate everything.

Then, the Void Sword Emperor’s body began to grow, reaching a thousand meters tall, like a giant standing above the heavens.

Tens of thousands below stared fixedly at all of this, their expressions shaken to the core. Just how much power did that heaven-piercing giant possess—could he wrench the Spear of Space out from the earth?

Those who hadn’t favored the Void Sword Emperor earlier, upon seeing him transform into a thousand-meter giant, suddenly had their hearts waver—perhaps he really could pull out the Spear of Space.

Previously, the Profound Yellow Divine Emperor had said that the Spear of Space was a sentient Divine Weapon that had already acknowledged a master, and no one could shake it. But seeing the Void Sword Emperor’s thousand-meter giant form, the thoughts in many people’s hearts started to waver.

Dong~

The Void Sword Emperor took a step forward—mountains and seas roared, the entire Desolate Continent trembled ceaselessly. Immediately after, his two colossal hands that covered the sky suddenly clenched and grabbed directly onto the Spear of Space.

Hong hong~

In an instant, Lei Yun surged above the Spear of Space, and a bottomless black hole pierced up into the heavens. The void twisted, as if the terrifying spatial might contained within the Spear of Space erupted in a single instant.

In that moment, heaven and earth seemed to step into doomsday.

Roar~

Next, the Void Sword Emperor’s Life Spirit savage beast let out a bellowing roar, power and will detonating as the Power of Laws shrouded the Spear of Space.

The Void Sword Emperor shouted, "Rise!"

Hong~

Before his voice even fell, thunder exploded within the black hole, annihilating space itself. A vortex storm condensed in an instant, drowning the Void Sword Emperor within. Pu pu pu~ Immediately after, the tens of thousands present saw the sleeves on the Void Sword Emperor’s colossal arms twist and directly turn into dust, and even those with sharp eyes could see his giant arms themselves twisting, veins bulging.

Yet he still did not give up, stubbornly holding on.

However, the Spear of Space was as if rooted deep within the earth, immovable.

Half an hour later.

Hong~

A deafening boom rang out. Pu~ The Void Sword Emperor spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body swept away by the terrifying spatial might and crashing down onto the ground, carving out a deep crater. The Void Sword Emperor was in utter disarray.

His injuries were even more severe than those of the Profound Yellow Divine Emperor.

The Void Sword Emperor likewise ended in failure.

Silence!

Looking at the heavily injured Void Sword Emperor, the entire void fell utterly silent. On the Land of Nine Provinces, the Profound Yellow Divine Emperor had failed, and the Void Sword Emperor had ended the same way. Could it be that this Spear of Space, once thrust here, could never be shaken by anyone?

Could it truly be as the Profound Yellow Divine Emperor had said, that the Spear of Space possessed spirituality and had already chosen its master, leaving others with no right to own it? Yet no matter how you put it, they were the Peak existences of the Land of Nine Provinces.

Even if it had recognized a master, did these Great Emperors truly have no qualifications to even budge it? If so, just how terrifying must the Artifact Spirit within the Spear of Space be?

Of course, the ones with the ugliest expressions right now were the powerhouses of the Desolate Continent Sword Palace, especially the Sword Palace Guardian, whose face was extremely unsightly. For no other reason than this: he had always believed Xiao Ziyan had no background at all, so he had completely disregarded Xiao Ziyan’s feelings and decided to marry her off to Profound Heaven.

Yet now? It seemed Xiao Ziyan was not some backgroundless nobody.

But then again, if Xiao Ziyan had a powerful backing behind her, would the Desolate Continent Sword Palace have dared to arbitrarily decide her marriage?

Gazing at that Spear of Space that pierced into the sky, the Desolate Continent Sword Palace seemed to have realized something. A Spear of Space that not even the Nine Emperors could shake—just how strong must its master be? Could it be that he was also an Emperor?

Moreover, the news had already spread across the Nine Provinces: the one who had obtained the Spear of Space, Xiao Tianyu, was one of Xiao Ziyan’s admirers. Then, the Spear of Space being driven into this place in the dead of night—the meaning behind that was probably self-evident.

This was not only a provocation toward the Desolate Continent Sword Palace, but even more so a provocation toward the Nine Provinces Great Emperor.

On the other side.

Failed.

The Void Sword Emperor had failed all the same. In that case, was there any Great Emperor left who could shake this terrifying Space Divine Artifact?

Shua shua shua~

Very soon, many gazes fell on the other seven Great Emperors. Those seven frowned deeply, clearly not very confident. It was no wonder—since even the Profound Yellow Divine Emperor and the Void Sword Emperor didn’t have what it took, their own hopes of pulling it out were naturally slim.

"Let me give it a try!" At this moment, from the direction of the Demon Realm, the Demon Emperor shouted, his demonic might suppressing heaven and earth.

The Demon Emperor was the Governor of the Demon Realm Divine Continent, a god among demons, born with divine strength. Under everyone’s gaze, he stepped forward. With each step he took, the ground split open, his power crushing everything.

Not only that, an Azure Dragon appeared behind him, golden eyes overlooking the world like a true dragon descending. Then everyone saw golden scales cover the Demon Emperor’s arms, radiance blazing so brightly none dared to look directly.

Demon Beasts had always reigned supreme through raw strength, and the Demon Emperor, the god of demons, was no exception. What’s more, as the sovereign of all Demon Beasts, his power towered above every other Demon Beast.

Now the Demon Emperor had long since transformed into human form, his thoughts agile and intelligence in no way inferior to that of humans.

Looking at that gold-lit figure and sensing that demonic power surging to the heavens, as if it could destroy the very sky, many drew in a cold breath. Perhaps this Demon Emperor truly could pull out the Spear of Space—his power was simply too overwhelming.

Demons were born with divine strength; now that this Demon Emperor had already transformed into a god, could his strength possibly be weak?

Between heaven and earth, a ringing clang echoed, like the clash of weapons shaking this space—that was the sound of the Spear of Space’s sharp edge colliding against the Demon Emperor’s scaled arms.
