“Quick! Gather as many of the items on the ground as you can!” Renault charged head-first into the fray right after giving that order to his disciples.
“Kill them!” The Stellaris Sect disciples also lunged, unleashing spiritual energy to fight against the evil spirits. Gratitude surged within Zordey when he saw reinforcement. However, he didn’t know that Renault joined the fight not to help but to earn a profit.
“Mr. Chance!”
Cloud didn’t move despite his father’s actions. Since the evil spirits weren’t strong, they weren’t a threat to Renault. After being Jared’s companion for some time, Cloud didn’t regard wealth and riches as important anymore, unlike his father.
Jared stared at the evil spirits dazedly and suddenly thought of an idea. Since Zelda hasn’t fully recovered, I thought about taking some time out to head over to Divine Smithing Sect to have Sworder repair it.
However, now it looks like I only need to use Dragonslayer Sword to devour these evil spirits, and it’ll slowly replenish Zelda.
Even though these weapon souls had turned into evil spirits from the malicious intent growing within them, they were still weapon souls nonetheless. As long as Zelda devoured sufficient weapon souls, she could slowly recover.
It was a fact that it was rare for someone to own a weapon with a weapon soul in the Ethereal Realm. Moreover, not every ancient divine weapon had a weapon soul either.
Hence, it was an incredibly rare opportunity to encounter so many weapon souls and even slay them at will. Jared’s hesitation vanished at the thought. With a clench of his fist in mid-air, he grasped the sword that materialized and leaped.
Cloud was close on his heels. Jared charged toward a massive evil spirit and swung Dragonslayer Sword ruthlessly. After all, the larger the evil spirit, the more energy they possessed and the quicker Zelda could recover.
That was Jared’s plan. However, his slash was blocked by the evil spirit’s sharp claws. A wave of powerful energy abruptly exploded from it and nearly sent Dragonslayer Sword flying.
“What powerful strength! This evil spirit isn’t weak.”
Jared was surprised.
This evil spirit’s abilities are definitely no weaker than the strength of an Eighth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator. The attack earlier was just a test, and I found out its power.
After finding out the evil spirit’s abilities, Jared knew what to do. With a swing of Dragonslayer Sword, a beam of golden light shot into the sky.
Sensing the golden light, the evil spirit was terrified and tried to dodge it, but it was too late. As the light swept across it, it let out a shrill scream. Then, a forceful suction from Dragonslayer Sword absorbed the black wisp of evil spirit into it.
Once the evil spirit was completely devoured, out of the blue, a stone hammer appeared on the originally empty ground.
Runes and cracks covered the surface of the stone hammer. It was apparent that the hammer was the evil spirit’s primordial weapon.
Jared picked up the hammer and realized it was heavy despite the small size. He had to exert some strength to pick it up. “No wonder the evil spirit was so strong.”
Studying the hammer, he finally understood why the evil spirit had such strength. Jared lamented over the runes and cracks covering the hammer.
Crack! The hammer suddenly shattered before scattering across the ground. Jared was flooded with an overwhelming sadness as he stared at the shattered hammer.
He wondered what the cultivator from thousands of years ago had been through to cause his weapon to become such a state.
Moreover, the cultivator might already be six feet underground and lost from history. Jared sighed. “Even if one becomes immortal and ascends to the celestial realm, one still can’t escape death.”
Only immortals had participated in the Celestial Battle. Yet, in the end, they were no different from humans, with numerous dead and injured from the battle.
