Soul-Slaying Maiden: Master Of Ancient Divine Weapons

"Guanshan!"

Lin Jingxuan's hand seals changed as he quickly retreated with Wei Qing.

At the very moment they retreated a thousand miles away, the area within a thousand miles of the ninth-rank Izanagi Serpent suddenly closed.

Yes, closed.

A massive "earth sphere" enveloped the ninth-rank Izanagi Serpent, suspended in the air above the ground.

Shifting Mountains and Filling Seas, this ability belongs to none other than the Grand General Guanshan of Daxia.

"I should have guessed. The only person capable of secretly burying the ninth-rank Izanagi Serpent's bones beneath 'Yumen Pass' and setting up the 'Ten Billion Life Sacrificial Array' here could only be you, Guanshan."

But because the answer was too shocking and inconceivable, Lin Jingxuan did not immediately pursue this possibility.

"Marshal Wei, Marshal Lin. Why must the two of you come to this point?"

Hovering in mid-air, Guanshan, wearing black-rimmed glasses, showed no emotional fluctuation on his face, resembling a dull thirty-something middle-aged man.

"If you hadn't attempted to destroy the Izanagi Serpent's bones, I wouldn't have been forced to reveal myself. That way, I could have continued to serve Daxia, building solid defenses on all fronts. At least, my official identity wouldn't have been exposed."

"But now, it's too late for everything."

Guanshan's tone carried regret.

But to Wei Qing and Lin Jingxuan, his actions only brought fury.

Guanshan was a general-ranked contract spirit master, second only to the commanders of the various battlefronts, with an SSS-grade talent in Shifting Mountains and Filling Seas. He was considered a successor-level figure.

And yet, such a precious talent had committed treachery against humanity, collaborating with alien species.

"It's you?"

"It's me."

Although Guanshan's strength was slightly inferior to Wei Qing and Lin Jingxuan, he could still hold them off for several seconds.

Under the defense of Shifting Mountains and Filling Seas, the ninth-rank Izanagi Serpent completed its final revival.

The entire atmosphere was filled with the oppressive power of the ninth rank.

Han Zhen turned to Gongyang Jin with a grave expression.

"Senior, how much do you know about swordsmanship?"

Gongyang Jin didn't understand why Han Zhen was asking such a question at this critical moment, but she answered anyway,"Below the eighth rank, no one can compare to me. Above the eighth rank, I can contend with them."

Her answer was confident, but it was also a fact.

As a notorious swordswoman from the infamous City of Extreme Evil, Gongyang Jin's swordsmanship was indeed unparalleled.

"Senior, in our current situation, with the ninth-rank Izanagi Serpent revived, how likely are we to win if the four of us here work together?"

Han Zhen posed another question.

Looking at the "question baby" Han Zhen, Gongyang Jin could only continue to answer quickly: "Zero. Certain death."

"Any other questions? Ask quickly so we can die with clarity."

This was the ninth-rank Izanagi Serpent, a peak monster that nearly wiped out Daxia in the past. Even three eighth-rank spirit masters combined had no chance against it.

Han Zhen nodded and asked one final question.

"Senior Gongyang Jin, if you could survive by forming a contract with me, but the cost is a long period of slumber, would you accept it?"

Gongyang Jin was very surprised but answered truthfully: "Forming a contract with you was something I wanted to do anyway. If the ninth-rank Izanagi Serpent descends and we all perish here, I won't be able to rest in peace. If there's a way to survive, I'm willing to try."

Gongyang Jin was an eighth-rank powerhouse, while Han Zhen was only fourth rank.

Yet Gongyang Jin had inexplicable confidence in Han Zhen.

He had even removed the latent injury left by the ninth-rank Insect Emperor [Yan]. If he could achieve that, doing something extraordinary now wasn't entirely impossible.

Upon receiving Gongyang Jin's affirmation, Han Zhen did not hesitate. He stomped his foot, and a contract formation spread out beneath him.

Gongyang Jin stood in the center of the formation.

Brilliant light enveloped her completely.

Han Zhen and Gongyang Jin's actions caught the attention of everyone present.

Wei Qing and Lin Jingxuan couldn't understand why Han Zhen was choosing to contract Gongyang Jin at such a life-and-death moment.

Guanshan, however, was unconcerned.

In his view, unless Li Shutong himself arrived, no matter what these people did, they could not possibly defeat the revived ninth-rank Izanagi Serpent.

This was a trap.

A death trap.

"You cannot win. Daxia will fall."

As Guanshan spoke, the massive earth sphere shattered behind him, revealing a fully revived ninth-rank Izanagi Serpent in its peak form.

Under the oppressive power of the ninth rank, even moving became an impossible dream.

At that moment, Han Zhen and Gongyang Jin completed their contract.

Han Zhen's eyes turned golden.

BUZZ!

An invisible wave spread across the space.

When it enveloped Gongyang Jin, she suddenly understood why Han Zhen had asked those three questions earlier.

Han Zhen, fourth-rank contract spirit master.

[Abilities: Divine Illumination, Self-Reflection, Universal Harmony, Divine Weapon Descent.]

[Divine Weapon Descent: Forcefully awakens ancient divine weapons in this world and imbues them with a divine soul]

[Limitations: The weapon must be of the same type and deeply mastered by the wielder.]

[If the wielder lacks profound mastery or sufficient cultivation, the divine soul will destroy their body, reducing them to ashes.]

[If the wielder can withstand the divine soul but the spirit master's rank is insufficient, the divine weapon will manifest once and then enter slumber until the spirit master reaches the required rank.]

If both the wielder and spirit master meet the requirements, the divine soul is fully imbued, and the Divine Weapon Descent succeeds completely.

Upon reaching the fourth rank, Han Zhen awakened his new ability [Divine Weapon Descent]. This power was immense but came with numerous restrictions.

If Han Zhen hadn't been a transmigrator, he wouldn't have known which ancient divine weapons existed, let alone how to awaken and imbue them with a divine soul.

Now, after contracting with Gongyang Jin, Han Zhen activated Divine Weapon Descent without hesitation.

The divine weapon he intended to summon and imbue with a divine soul was one of the ten greatest ancient divine weapons: the unparalleled divine sword.

Its name: Xuanyuan

The clouds in the Izanagi dissipated entirely.

From an unimaginably high altitude, the tip of a colossal sword descended.

One side of the blade bore the carvings of the sun, moon, and stars; the other, mountains and vegetation.

Its hilt carried the inscriptions of agricultural techniques on one side and strategies for unifying the four seas on the other.

It contained boundless power, a sword for slaying demons and exterminating evil.

Even the ninth-rank Izanagi Serpent lowered its once-aloof head under this overwhelming presence.

Only then did Han Zhen's voice ring clearly in everyone's ears:

"Remember its name—Xuanyuan Sword"

The divine soul of the Xuanyuan Sword descended, merging entirely into Gongyang Jin. The destructive giant blade in her hands disintegrated piece by piece.

The external layers surrounding the sword fell away, and its size shrank by two-thirds.

It now transformed into the exact appearance of the Xuanyuan Sword's divine soul.
