Chapter 1027: Rainbow Soul Spear

Buzz!

In Jiang Yi’s spiritual consciousness, he saw the seven-colored soul sword dancing in the air. Jiang Yi did not have any control over this soul sword. His own spiritual consciousness felt like it was spinning around. What’s more, the soul sword continued to mutate. At first, it looked like a Fire Dragon Sword. Now, it looked like… a spear?

“My soul sword is becoming a soul spear?”

Jiang Yi kept breathing in and out, but he did not move his body. The soul sword was beyond his control now. If it went crazy and knocked into his primordial spirit, he would surely go and meet his maker immediately. Even if it did not knock into his primordial spirit—if it exploded, his primordial spirit might still get damaged from the impact.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The soul sword danced faster and faster until even Jiang Yi could not get a clear sight of it. All he could catch was its blurry form. The soul sword was mutating at rapid speed as well. In fact, it no longer looked like a spirit sword. It looked instead like a long spear. A seven-colored beam swirled around the spear. It radiated a peculiar aura, and it looked like an unbreakable Supreme Spear.

Jiang Yi’s heart began to race as the seven-colored soul spear spun quicker and quicker. It flew past his primordial spirit countless times, causing him to be scared out of his wits. Jiang Yi quickly entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man to minimize the movement of his body.

Buzz!

In the second before his soul sword turned into a sword spear completely, the seven colors on the spear darkened. The spear itself faintly rested in his spiritual consciousness. At that moment, Jiang Yi felt extremely connected to the Rainbow Soul Spear. It was almost as if it had become his completely.

“Is everything alright now?”

Jiang Yi let out a small sigh of relief. He slowly took control of the Rainbow Soul Spear to prevent it from moving around inside his body. Indeed, the moment these thoughts surfaced in his mind, the sword moved as well. Inside his heart, he was sure that as long as he could remain in control of the soul spear—no matter what it became, he would not have to fear himself.

After causing the soul spear to turn several rounds in his brain, he could be sure that he had complete control of the soul spear. Jiang Yi opened his eyes and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It felt like he really did walk all the way back from the gates of hell.

“Why did the soul sword mutate? Moreover, why did it mutate into a Rainbow Soul Spear at that? What does it mean?”

Jiang Yi had no idea how the soul swords came about in the first place, much less how they mutated into a spear. He felt like a monster. Not only had his dantian mutated, but even his soul was mutating now. All these things must have had something to do with the Nameless Divine Art.

“Who was the one who imprinted the Nameless Divine Art into my soul? His mother said it was not her—could it have been Yu Wen? Could it be that elder who was fishing in the Northern Lake of the Buddha Mountain? Who in the world was Yu Wen? Who was that mysterious elder?”

Jiang Yi thought about it for a long while until his head began to hurt. Then, he gave up. Once he broke through and became a Demigod, he would go and look for that mysterious elder again. Then, a lot of his questions would be answered.

Just thinking about becoming a Demigod gave Jiang Yi many more things to think about. This time, he wanted to use the ice powers in the core to activate the Smelting Divine Furnace. He never thought that the ice powers would be absorbed by his own soul swords. There was not even a tiny bit of power left in the core for him to use.

That was it then. If he could upgrade his own spirit into a god spirit, it was a good thing. In any case, he had already escaped the clutches of death. Any additional gift he got was considered a good thing.

“That’s not right. The soul swords have merged—all seventy-two into one. They also absorbed so much power from the Three-Leaf Lotus Flower and core. I must be really formidable now, right?”

Jiang Yi’s heart skipped a beat. He felt like he had been powerful enough with the seventy-two soul swords. In the Lava Lake at the Purgatory Ruin, he snuck up on the Heaven Monarchs at peak stage. He even managed to kill each of them with just one move. Even though there had been four or five of them, he managed to kill all of them without employing complicated defensive techniques.

Swish!

His heart skipped yet another beat. He controlled the Rainbow Soul Spear and caused it to shoot out from between his eyebrows. There was a bright light as the soul spear shot out of his head and out of the room, easily piercing through all the barriers. Jiang Yi got a shock. He quickly pulled the soul spear back.

“Why is this Rainbow Soul Spear so fast? I wonder if anyone outside spotted it?”

Jiang Yi was shocked by the pace of the Rainbow Soul Spear. It was at least ten times faster than all of his soul swords. After keeping the Rainbow Soul Spear, he entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. There were four guards still standing guard outside his door. One of them was looking quite confused as he stared at the walls of Jiang Yi’s palace. He looked like he had just seen a ghost. The other people did not seem to have noticed anything. After a while, the person rubbed his eyes and shook his head as if trying to shake away any hallucinations.

Tsk! Tsk!

Jiang Yi relaxed. Once again, he caused the Rainbow Soul Spear to fly out from between his eyebrows. The spear flew around and around the main hall. Curiously, he stared at the Rainbow Soul Spear. His heart began to pound quicker. This Rainbow Soul Spear was tens of times faster than the soul swords from before. Logically, it should be much stronger as well! In other words, the power of the Rainbow Soul Spear was tens of times greater than the soul swords!

“Uh…”

After taking the Rainbow Soul Spear one more round around the main hall, Jiang Yi suddenly felt quite weak. His vision began to blur, and he began to feel dizzy. He quickly retrieved the Rainbow Soul Spear and closed his eyes to rest.

“What is happening?”

After a long time, he finally opened his eyes, confused. With skills like his, his body was quite strong and sturdy. He did not fall sick so easily. Why did he suddenly feel so dizzy just then?

“Could the Rainbow Soul Spear be so powerful that I cannot activate it for such a long period of time?”

Jiang Yi thought that it was highly likely this was the case. To test it once more, he waited for his spirit to recover fully before activating the Rainbow Soul Spear once again. After making it go several rounds around the main hall, his spirit once again felt weakened; and his vision blurred.

As expected!

Jiang Yi’s head was hurting now. The Rainbow Soul Spear must be extremely formidable—he could not even control it for extended periods of time. He felt like a child in possession of a real divine armament. The divine armament might be able to deal real damage to other soldiers, but he was too weak as a child. There was no way for him to brandish it around at his whim and fancy.

“I should not activate this Rainbow Soul Spear at random. Otherwise, if my spirit weakens, I won’t be able to defend myself.” Jiang Yi made a mental note. In a battle—once a martial artist’s spirit weakened, his reaction time would be greatly extended as well. This could cost him his life.

“I have to think of a way to get some treasures that would nourish my soul!”

Jiang Yi felt like he had just gained an entire treasure chest, but he did not have the key to it. He had no access to the treasures inside. There was a fire in his heart. If the Rainbow Soul Spear was really as powerful as he thought it was, it would not be a problem to kill off Demigods. Then, he would be able to charge into the Dwarf Mountain, sneak up on Qiu Shan, and find a way to kill him.

In order to nourish the spirit, one had to use spirit herbs or training. The stronger his body got, the stronger his spirit would become as well. It was like a young child growing up—his power would naturally increase.

In Lava Lake, Jiang Yi gained several spirit herbs. However, he had no idea what those herbs were good for. Just one Three-Leaf Lotus Flower nearly burned his body alive. Jiang Yi was scared to refine those spirit herbs now.

“Whatever. I’ll train for one or two months and wait for my cultivation to improve. I think there’s too much chaos happening beyond these walls anyway. I should keep an eye on the situation before I decide to do anything huge.”

He made up his mind there and then. All he could do now was to continue training and wait for news from the Ice Mountain. If he took any risks now, he would be courting death.
