Chapter 1132: 802 Slaying God Spear

It’s well-known that the Slaying God Spear was created by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou himself. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, as a descendant of the Demon Ancestor, could wield the power of the Slaying God Spear.

"Elder ancestor, tell me what you know of the Demon Ancestor’s legacy, and then, I can pretend to be the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord and use the pure techniques of the Demonic Way to rescue you," Jiang Chen said.

As for the Underworld River ancestor, Jiang Chen didn’t have anything to hide and straightforwardly shared his plan to frame the Demonic Way, an undertaking that required his counterpart’s cooperation.

"Once this deed is done, if anyone asks you, Elder Ancestor, who saved you, I need you to insist without hesitation that it was me who did it," Jiang Chen said.

"When answering this question, Elder Ancestor, you mustn’t hesitate at all. Answer decisively, to give the impression that I am indeed framing Jiang Chen," he advised.

After sharing his plan, Jiang Chen continued to caution the Underworld River ancestor.

Ensuring that the Underworld River ancestor would respond without hesitation that it was Jiang Chen who saved him was part of Jiang Chen’s own scheme. After all, if Jiang Chen had truly been the rescuer, why would he admit it so readily? Wouldn’t that endanger himself?

Naturally, if Jiang Chen had actually saved the Underworld River ancestor, he should keep silent, neither denying nor admitting it, and let everyone slowly guess the truth.

Such a direct admission comes off more like framing and is indeed the most rudimentary form of it.

Of course, since the plan was so simple, it certainly wouldn’t deceive the Great Divine Transcendents, but Jiang Chen never intended to fool anyone else. He was simply creating a pretext for himself.

As long as Jiang Chen firmly claimed that the framing was done by the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, then no one would dare lay a hand on him.

Truth be told, if it had been someone else, some of the Great Divine Transcendents might not have needed any proof, relying solely on the Underworld River ancestor’s word to kill the person.

But with Jiang Chen, it was different. Given his status and backing, adequate reasons were needed to justify any attempt on his life. Otherwise, anyone who made a move against Jiang Chen would face the wrath of two Saints.

Such is the outcome brought by different statuses.

The struggles at the top are just like this, a continuous game of blame-shifting without solid evidence, until one side grows weary.

"Tsk, this plan of yours..." the elder stated.

"Very well, I understand," he agreed.

Upon learning of Jiang Chen’s plan, the Underworld River ancestor was speechless. In his time, the hearts of most were still pure, not filled with schemes like they were now.

Times have changed, and people have become corrupt.

Surely, it must have been the influence of the Saints. Among their cohort of Great Divine Transcendents, it was the Saints who had the most cunning hearts. With the leaders being such, it was no wonder their subordinates followed suit.

That is how people’s hearts become corrupt.

As the Underworld River ancestor’s mind wandered, he looked up and stared straight into Jiang Chen’s eyes, transferring all the legacy of the Demon Ancestor that he had acquired to Jiang Chen. Currently sealed and unable to move freely, the Underworld River ancestor could only communicate through his gaze, and so the transmission of the legacy had to be done in this way.

Now, the Underworld River ancestor was in a desperate situation with no other choice but Jiang Chen. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Jiang Chen to easily obtain the Demon Ancestor’s legacy from him.

The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was once the foremost figure in the Prehistoric World, with power even surpassing that of the Taoist Ancestors. The legacy he left behind was beyond imagination, more significant than the legacy Jiang Chen had received from the Emperor Xi, and without offering something satisfactory in return, why would the Underworld River ancestor just hand it over?

However, the current situation left no room for the Underworld River ancestor to refuse or even to make demands. As soon as Jiang Chen made his request, the Underworld River ancestor unreservedly passed on all he knew of the Demon Ancestor’s legacy to Jiang Chen.

After all, Jiang Chen wanted the Demon Ancestor’s legacy to save him, and the Underworld River ancestor would need quite a bold face to make demands at such a time.

...

......

The Underworld River ancestor’s gaze bore down, and Jiang Chen offered no resistance, allowing it to penetrate his mind.

In an instant, Jiang Chen’s vision changed, and his mind was transported to a vast expanse of Chaos. He saw the Chaos breaking apart and a world taking form.

At the same time, he saw a piece of chaotic divine metal, smeared with sacred blood, floating amidst the shattering Chaos, being tempered by the sharpness created during the pioneer sky and earth process, gradually taking the shape of a long spear.

In just a moment, Jiang Chen realized what he was witnessing—the process of the Innate Treasure Slaying God Spear taking form.

The Slaying God Spear, known as the number one weapon of destruction in the Prehistoric World, was not, as the legends claimed, transformed from the stem of the Innate Treasure Chaos Green Lotus. Instead, it was born from the Supreme divine metal in the Chaos, which accidentally became stained with the blood of many Chaos Demigods, and even the Pangu Great God, and was polished by the sharpness emitted during the pioneer sky and earth.

The shattering of the Chaos did not harm it in the slightest, giving it an indestructible body. The blood of the many Chaos Demigods, including that of the Pangu Great God, endowed it with unparalleled ferocity. The supreme power generated during the pioneer sky and earth granted it the sharpest edge.

The fusion of these three elements forged the Slaying God Spear’s invincible power.

"No wonder the Slaying God Spear is so powerful. It’s imbued with the blood of so many Chaos Demigods, as well as the resentment from the breaking of Chaos. It truly is a weapon that kills upon contact," Jiang Chen realized.
