Chapter 644: 517 Free Hitter

"Hmm, what is this..."

Jiang Chen bent down, picked up the object, and discovered it was a silver dagger. It had been broken, and only half of the blade remained, with the rest missing.

Blood traces that haven’t yet dried were still visible on the remaining blade, radiating an alarming fluctuation.

A high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heavenly Wolf Dagger!

With a flash of realization, Jiang Chen understood its origins--it was the accompanying spiritual treasure of the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf, the Heavenly Wolf Dagger.

It was clear that the dagger had been destroyed at the hands of the Witch Clan’s High Priestess. The Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf perished in the battle between the witches and demons. As its accompanying treasure, the Heavenly Wolf Dagger would naturally not have a good ending.

But the fact it was only broken, and not utterly shattered, could be considered good luck.

"It just awakened and its mind isn’t clear. If Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf had used the Heavenly Wolf Dagger to ambush me from the beginning, I might have actually been injured without being prepared."

Seeing the Heavenly Wolf Dagger, Jiang Chen began to feel a sense of dread. A Tao Master with a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure is a different concept altogether, their strength could potentially spike by multiples or even tens of multiples.

If, from the beginning, Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf had urged the Innate Spiritual Treasure to action, would Jiang Chen have been able to suppress it so effortlessly? He would have indeed had to pay a bloody price.

However, the performance of the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf also confirmed something for Jiang Chen.

That is, the corpses of the Demon Clan on the battlefield, although they have been turned into corpse demons, have been too severely affected by the murderous aura and thus lost their sanity, naturally acting upon instinct.

In this case, they are no doubt much easier to deal with.

"What a treasure!"

Within a sigh, Jiang Chen held the half broken Heavenly Wolf Dagger up to his eyes to examine closely.

The powers of the high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure are undeniably terrifying. Even if it had been shattered, leaving only half, the breath it emitted was still far stronger than any of the mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Jiang Chen channelled his power to try to trigger the Heavenly Wolf Dagger, he got a glimpse of its potential as it transformed into a ray and vanished into the void in front of him.

Boom...

The next moment, the void shattered silently and energy of the Innate freezing Taiyin surged out, causing everything to solidify.

"What a lethal dagger!"

At this point, Jiang Chen understood the ability of the Heavenly Wolf Dagger--it excels at breaking defences and severing the True Spirit.

The Heavenly Wolf Dagger is a hidden weapon, specializing in sneak attacks. It can take the form of a light ray, silently merge into the void, and appear directly between someone’s brows, breaking their defence, and severing their True Spirit.

It won’t do anything unless necessary, but when it does, someone must fall. During the Ancient Era, Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf, relying on the Heavenly Wolf Dagger, sneak attacked and killed numerous Witch Clan experts.

Regrettably, Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf was unlucky during the battle between witches and demons, it encountered the Nine-Headed High Priest Xiang Liu.

The Heavenly Wolf Dagger, lethal as it was, there was only one.

Yet High Priest Xiang Liu had nine heads. After a fierce battle, Xiang Liu managed to break the Heavenly Wolf Dagger, at the cost of three of his heads.

All these were revealed to Jiang Chen by the Heavenly Wolf Dagger itself. Just now, Jiang Chen had begun to refine the Heavenly Wolf Dagger, imprinting it with his own mark.

"Rise!"

With his left hand holding the Heavenly Wolf Dagger, a Tao mirror quietly emerged above Jiang Chen’s right hand, emitting myriad mysterious lights aiming at the Heavenly Wolf Dagger in Jiang Chen’s left hand.

Hum, hum, hum...

Being enveloped by the divine light, the Heavenly Wolf Dagger suddenly began to shake violently, spreading mystical fluctuations in all directions, forming invisible waves in the void.

What Jiang Chen was doing was using the Tao mirror to stimulate the potential of the Heavenly Wolf Dagger, in order to resonate with the other fragments and summon them over to reconstruct the Heavenly Wolf Dagger.

Innate Spiritual Treasures possess an indestructible attribute--as long as the fragments can be gathered, they would naturally fuse together as one.

The half remained Heavenly Wolf Dagger couldn’t compete with a complete Heavenly Wolf Dagger in its strength.

Jiang Chen figured, since the Heavenly Wolf Dagger was broken here in the Witch Demon battlefield, he might as well try to summon the shattered parts of the Heavenly Wolf Dagger.

Swish, swish, swish...

A moment later, a silver light appeared in the faraway distance. Then, point after point of silver light swarmed in from all sides, gathered together towards Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Wolf Dagger.

Boom!

With every stream of silver light that joined, the light emitted from the Heavenly Wolf Dagger intensified, and its aura surged.

When the Heavenly Wolf Dagger had absorbed all incoming silver light, the radiance it emitted was breathtaking, and the threads of silver light flowing on it set it off like a bright moon.

"What a pity!"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen was not particularly excited, as the incoming silver light wasn’t the shattered fragments of the Heavenly Wolf Dagger, but its scattered original source.

The congregation of its original source now started its revival, naturally revealing astonishing phenomena. However, what Jiang Chen wanted to see, the return of the Heavenly Wolf Dagger’s fragments, did not happen.

This made him somewhat disappointed. If the Heavenly Wolf Dagger cannot be restored, it won’t be able to exhibit its full power.

"The war between the witches and the demons was indeed brutal, even the high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure has been thoroughly shattered and unable to reconstitute."

The Heavenly Wolf Dagger was broken here, but Jiang Chen could not summon its fragments back. The outcome was clear that the latter half of the Heavenly Wolf Dagger had been thoroughly destroyed, leaving no fragments behind.

"This is trouble."

Without being able to summon the fragments back, owing to the indestructible nature of the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heavenly Wolf Dagger could still self-repair. But that will take a rather long time, to be calculated in the units of a million years.
