Chapter 3379: Forced to Take a Master
Faced with the Source of Life’s threats, the Divine Spear of World Destruction rapidly responded. The inscriptions of the ways suddenly appeared on the spear, giving off a devastating presence, like a power that had been sealed away was awakening.
“Divine Spear of World Destruction, are you awakening?” The Martial God’s arm shook slightly. He gazed at the Divine Spear of World Destruction with shining eyes as his face rapidly paled.
The energy in his body was being absorbed by the Divine Spear of World Destruction at an extremely terrifying rate. It was so fast that even he almost could not hold on despite his cultivation as a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime.
After absorbing the Martial God’s tremendous energy, the Divine Spear of World Destruction immediately erupted with dazzling light before turning into a streak of light and colliding against the Source of Life with devastating power.
Boom!
An unprecedented rumble erupted in the space there. The Source of Life that was as large as a planet immediately began to tremble violently, having been pushed back several tens of thousand kilometres by the Divine Spear of World Destruction. Its light shone even dimmer than before.
With only a single attack, it had exhausted a tremendous amount of the Source of Life’s energy.
With the shift in location, the miniature world that the Source of Life originally covered was immediately exposed.
The eyes of the six experts present all lit up when they saw the miniature world.
“The miniature world should contain the group of Wood Spirits that separated from the others back then. Source of Life, I’ll leave you with one choice. Submit to me or I’ll destroy this miniature world,” the Martial God said coldly as his killing intent increased.
“I’ve already used the Way Wielding Stone to seal up this world. Source of Life, you can’t escape. Only one choice remains for you, which is to submit to us. If you submit to our Way Wielding clan, we will definitely treat your clansmen kindly,” the Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime from the Way Wielding clan said.
“Both the Way Wielding clan and the Martial God clan have grievances with the Wood Spirits in the past. On the other hand, our Myriad Rivers sect has no ill history with your Wood Spirits apart from the legacy that the founding ancestor happened upon by accident. Source of Life, our Myriad Rivers sect is the best choice for you,” the Ocean Convergence Elder said.
“Bullshit! Our Fire Fiend sect has always maintained contact with the experts of the Spiritsages and our relationship has always been very amicable. The Fire Fiend sect is your best choice. If you choose me as your master, even if I have to cast my life aside, I’ll still ensure the safety of your clansmen,” the Poisonous Flame Ancestor also offered up a verbal promise, unwilling to fall behind the others.
“Hmph, you’re dreaming if you think you can become my master. No, even if you’re dreaming, you wouldn’t have such crazy thoughts.” The Source of Life snorted proudly. The colossal planet shone with dazzling light and immediately enveloped the Wood Spirits World.
“How stubborn!” The Martial God’s gaze was cold. He ingested a few high grade God Tier pills to recover before continuing with his assault using the Divine Spear of World Destruction.
“Source of Life, if you refuse to submit, then I’ll be forced to cause offence.”
The Way Wielding clan, the Poisonous Flame Ancestor, and the Ocean Convergence Elder all struck out. Their powerful attacks hurtled towards the Source of Life at the same time.
Their objective was very simple. They wanted to waste away the Source of Life’s energy so that it could no longer put up any resistance before taking it by force.
It was an object after all. Even if it was a sovereign god artifact, it did not change the fact that it was an object.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Immediately, the experts struck out simultaneously and the destructive attacks all landed on the Source of Life.
The Source of Life rapidly withdrew all of its energy and shielded the Wood Spirits World below, completely relying on itself to endure their attacks.
After withdrawing all of its energy, the Source of Life no longer seemed like a shining planet, but a huge green orb instead.
The attacks landed on the Source of Life. They could shake the Source of Life, but they could not damage its intrinsic structure.
Let alone them, even Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes could not leave a scratch on sovereign god artifacts.
Of course, once a sovereign god artifact ran out of energy, that was equivalent to losing its autonomy. Despite its almost indestructible characteristic, it would become no different from a tough rock, free for experts to take away with force.
The artifact spirit’s illusionary figure appeared before everyone in the Source of Life again, except it was stern.
“What’s the situation outside?” Jian Chen asked sternly. The miniature world he remained in constantly shook, which even made him begin to worry.
The artifact spirit ignored Jian Chen and instead glanced at the nine experts of the Wood Spirits. It said reluctantly, “Listen up, juniors. I’m going to test you next and then choose the most outstanding one amongst you as my master.”
“What? Become your master? Ancestral spirit, a-are you being serious?”
The nine experts were all startled by that. They were in disbelief.
Even Jian Chen was surprised.
The artifact spirit snorted coldly and said proudly, “Normally, given your capability, you’d never possess the right. But given the current situation, you’re in luck today.”
“Ancestral spirit, are the experts outside very difficult to deal with?” The Jade Heaven Ruler frowned.
“Hmph, they’re only so-so.” The artifact spirit was still as difficult to impress as before, taking no one seriously. “If it’s just them, they obviously can’t harm me, but they’re using the shameless method of exhausting my energy. Even if my energy is exhausted, they can’t do anything to me, but once I lose the ability to protect the Wood Spirits World, all the living creatures in the Wood Spirits World will perish, including you.”
“Can’t you bring everyone into the sovereign god artifact? Like the miniature world we’re in right now?” Jian Chen asked.
“Kid, what the hell do you know?” The artifact spirit glanced at Jian Chen resentfully and said coldly, “I’m the Source of Life. I’m just an auxiliary god artifact, not an offensive one nor a spatial one. I’m completely incapable of bringing everyone in here. As for the miniature world you currently dwell in, it’s just a space that I’ve forcefully opened up with my powers. It requires my constant flow of energy to support it.”
“Once I run out of energy, this space will directly collapse and be completely destroyed.”
“It’s not just the miniature world. Even the Wood Spirits World outside will be no different.”
Reaching there, the artifact spirit paused and gritted its teeth. “If there weren’t the people outside making trouble, I’m completely capable of maintaining the existence of the Wood Spirits World forever. But right now, the six of them combined with the Divine Spear of World Destruction are depleting my energy far quicker than I can recover it.”
“If I were at my peak condition, I could obviously hold on, but I can’t last too long in my current state.”
Towards the end, the proud artifact spirit also gave off a sense of powerlessness.
“Great ancestral spirit, if you choose a master among us, will we be able to fend off the powerful enemies outside?” the Mayhemless Heavenly King asked politely.
“You fool. You think you stand a chance against the people outside with just your ability? You’re dreaming. Do you have any idea how powerful the people outside are? I’m not afraid of them, but when it comes to you, who knows how many times they can destroy you with a single huff.” The artifact spirit unleashed a vicious verbal assault.
The Mayhemless Heavenly King lowered his head in a hurry. He did not dare to say anything more.
“If I wanted to flee, I only need to use all of my power to destroy the seal and get away from here alone, without bringing anyone with me. That is why I need to choose a master.”
“Once I have a master, I’ll be able to merge with them, so I’ll be able to flee together with my master. My master will be able to use a spatial god artifact to bring everyone in the Wood Spirits World with them. That’s the only way to protect the Wood Spirits World.”
“Don’t rely on the miniature world you’re currently in. Once I use all of my power, the miniature world you see right now will cease to exist as well.”
The artifact spirit spoke very frantically, like it was panicking. As soon as it said that, it waved its arm and a gate appeared mid-air.
“This test will examine your talent, potential, mentality, willpower, and so on. It’ll carry out a test of all aspects on each of you before selecting the most outstanding one as my master. Time is tight, so hurry up.” The artifact spirit explained in a hurry before forcefully sending the nine experts of the Wood Spirits inside.
