Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: Subduing the Wasteland Sky Halberd

With Su Chengyu’s command, the aura of the Heaven-Mending Stone filled the entire Sea of Consciousness.

Moreover, unlike the usual devouring of Magic Artifacts, the actual body of the Heaven-Mending Stone also directly appeared, turning into a liquid state as it clung to the Wasteland Sky Halberd.

Sensing the anomaly, the Qi of Slaughter of the Wasteland Sky Halberd instantly released outwards, opposing the aura and trying to resist the devouring of the Heaven-Mending Stone.

However, the resistance only lasted for a brief moment, as the Qi of Slaughter was defeated by the might of the aura, with the miniature Wasteland Sky Halberd in the Sea of Consciousness being completely covered by the Heaven-Mending Stone.

"Stop! Stop now!"

Feeling that the situation was dire, the long since vanished Artifact Spirit of the Wasteland Sky Halberd, after breaking through its boundary, couldn’t restrain itself any longer.

However, Su Chengyu let out a cold laugh, "Now you regret it? Don’t you think it’s a bit late for that?"

Su Chengyu had not just attempted to make contact with the Artifact Spirit once, but the latter had always turned a deaf ear, completely ignoring the presence of his nominal master—Su Chengyu had no way to deal with him before.

But now, the tables had turned.

"Su family’s boy, don’t push me too far. I have suffered great losses from breaking through boundaries, and I’m of no help to you as it stands, not to mention when you’ve used my power several times, when have I ever tied your hands?"

"It’s not that you didn’t want to, but that you couldn’t, right?"

If Su Chengyu didn’t have the Heaven-Mending Stone, maybe he really would have been deceived by these few words.

But Su Chengyu was very clear that as an Immortal Artifact, even if there was a significant gap with the Heaven-Mending Stone, it still had substantial utility.

Artifact Spirits were not born simply to be a tool for chat when Cultivators are bored.

Of course, Su Chengyu could also understand the position of the Wasteland Sky Halberd.

Although he had a ten-year pact with it, as long as he died, the pact would naturally dissipate like smoke, and it would gain complete freedom.

Therefore, what Su Chengyu was doing now was far from mere intimidation.

If the Wasteland Sky Halberd truly refused to heed, Su Chengyu wouldn’t mind letting the Heaven-Mending Stone devour it for good.

Feeling that Su Chengyu had no intention of making the Heaven-Mending Stone stop, the Immortal Artifact Spirit finally panicked completely and spoke up.

"Su family’s boy, what do you really want?!"

Su Chengyu snapped his fingers, and only then did the Heaven-Mending Stone reluctantly cease its activity for a moment.

"What do I want? Don’t you know?"

"Impossible. A ten-year pact is ten years. I’d rather die than subjugate myself completely to you!"

The Artifact Spirit’s unexpected resilience at this critical moment made Su Chengyu see him in a new light.

"Rest assured, since we agreed on ten years, it will be ten years; we had a pact on that. But you’re holed up in my Sea of Consciousness, and when I face danger, you simply stand by and watch—isn’t that a bit too much!"

"I’m not like your strange Magical Treasure; I cannot act on my own, and indeed, due to the enormous losses from breaking through the boundary, I can’t provide you with Spiritual Energy to freely manipulate the Wasteland Sky Halberd."

"So this is the reason I have to endure the Qi of Slaughter every time I use the Wasteland Sky Halberd?"

The Wasteland Sky Halberd was suddenly at a loss for words. Now, its Spiritual Power was completely exhausted, unable to assist Su Chengyu as the Artifact Spirit by providing its own Spiritual Energy. However, as an Artifact Spirit, it was capable of blocking the Qi of Slaughter from assailing its master.

But the Wasteland Sky Halberd hadn’t done so. Although it sensed Su Chengyu’s repeated brushes with danger, the Wasteland Sky Halberd ultimately chose to watch the fire from the opposite shore, for it had never truly acknowledged Su Chengyu.

Moreover, if Su Chengyu died, it could in turn regain its freedom—why not?

The Wasteland Sky Halberd could never have imagined that such a small amount of self-interest would result in such a predicament.

"Su family’s boy, what exactly is that bizarre magical treasure of yours?"

"Heaven-Mending Stone."

Today, the Wasteland Sky Halberd had no choice but to submit or be devoured; it had tired of any pretense.

"Impossible! The Heaven-Mending Stone is a sacred object of the Heaven Mend Sect, personally forged by Empress Nuwa. How could it possibly have fallen into this realm?"

"You ask me, but who should I ask? You don’t have to believe it."

The reason why the Heaven-Mending Stone ended up here was also a question that Su Chengyu had posed to it many times. However, even as its memories gradually returned, it still didn’t know why it was here.

The Wasteland Sky Halberd struggled internally. Of course, it didn’t want to simply submit, but if it really was the Heaven-Mending Stone, it knew it couldn’t resist the other’s consumption.

"Kid, I admit defeat, I can promise you that I will protect you from the Qi of Slaughter when you use the Wasteland Sky Halberd."

"Is that all?"

Clearly, Su Chengyu had no intention of letting him off that easily.

"What else do you want from me? Though we broke the barrier with your help, it was almost entirely my reserve of spiritual energy that was consumed! As of now, I’m completely drained of spiritual energy; I simply cannot help you bear the load of energy required for attacks!"

Although the other was very agitated in his speech, Su Chengyu did not immediately believe him and instead made a discreet inquiry to the Heaven-Mending Stone.

After listening, the Heaven-Mending Stone replied weakly, "It’s true, he’s nothing but an empty shell right now. Even if he’s not disturbed by the Qi of Slaughter, you’ll have to rely on your own spiritual energy to drive it. So let me consume him; my rate of self-restoration is much faster than his."

"I have my own plans."

"Stingy!"

The Heaven-Mending Stone spoke with a bit of primordial energy, and then the rosy light between heaven and earth dissipated in an instant, and the figure of the Heaven-Mending Stone vanished directly into the Sea of Consciousness.

Su Chengyu was helpless, but he knew he would find a way to make it up to the Heaven-Mending Stone later.

He valued the Heaven-Mending Stone greatly, but at this moment, he did not wish to lose the Wasteland Sky Halberd recklessly.

The True Dragon Armor and the Heaven-Mending Stone were currently Su Chengyu’s most formidable trump cards, but during his confrontation with Feng Xin Shu, he realized that his offensive options were somewhat lacking.

If the Wasteland Sky Halberd could be manipulated at will, like within the barrier, then not only could it trouble his enemy, but it might even be possible to directly slay him.

"You’ll take responsibility for shielding me; how many times can I use your power based on my current spiritual energy?"

"One strike is possible, but twice is far from enough."

After exiting the Ascending Heaven Tower, Su Chengyu had reached the eighth level of the Golden Core realm, but to his surprise, he was still only capable of using its power once.

"However, if you allow me to restore some spiritual energy, there might be a chance to assist a second strike from the sidelines."

"Can you repair yourself like the Heaven-Mending Stone?"

"Of course. Do you think I’ve just been sleeping during these dormant days? I’ve also been trying to gather spiritual energy. It’s just that the concentration of spiritual energy in your realm is truly too thin. If I rely on natural restoration, it might take more than ten years before I could assist you even once."

"Enough, do you think I can’t see through your little schemes? As long as you keep your word, I’ll find a way to help you."

Being deep in debt was not a burden; he was already experienced with repairing the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Heaven-Mending Stone, so adding one more Immortal Artifact was no concern to him.

"Good! Then let’s have a pleasant cooperation."
