Facing the Battle Intent emanating from the Bone Spear, Lin Yun clenched his teeth. The Battle Intent, sharp as a blade, had already sliced several gashes into his clothes, and blood slowly trickled from the wounds.

’I refuse to believe I can’t make you submit.’ With a low shout, Lin Yun pushed his own Battle Intent to its absolute limit. Although it was far weaker than the Bone Spear’s, he had no intention of giving up.

"Hurry and help him!" Standing in the distance, Chen Xin was deeply worried. The number of wounds on Lin Yun’s body was increasing. Seeing Little Ape leaning nonchalantly to one side, Chen Xin complained.

Hearing this, Little Ape just let out two low growls, showing no intention of stepping forward to help. To subdue the Bone Spear, Lin Yun had to rely on his own strength. It would be useless for Little Ape to intervene.

Unable to help, Chen Xin could only fret anxiously from the sidelines.

As time passed, the Battle Intent emanating from the Bone Spear grew increasingly intense. Even from a great distance, Chen Xin found it hard to breathe and was forced to retreat another few hundred meters.

If its might was so powerful from that far away, one could only imagine the pressure Lin Yun was enduring so close to the Bone Spear.

COUGH COUGH COUGH... Gripping the Bone Spear tightly in his right hand, Lin Yun had already coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. The Battle Intent now radiating from it was becoming too much for him to bear.

’I refuse to believe that I, Lin Yun, can’t even overcome a single piece of bone!’ he roared. This period of resistance had also brought him considerable gains; his own Battle Intent was growing rapidly.

The confrontation reached a fever pitch. In an instant, Lin Yun’s Battle Intent seemed to shatter a barrier, as if an iron chain had suddenly snapped. He felt his control and understanding of Battle Intent suddenly become crystal clear. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

BOOM! It felt as if Lin Yun’s mind had exploded. His eyes went blank. He sensed everything around him changing rapidly, and soon, his surroundings had completely transformed.

He found himself in what seemed to be a barren wasteland, with nothing in sight. The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive. The sky and earth were blood-red, and there was even a metallic tang of blood in the air.

’This place is...’ Everything felt so real that Lin Yun couldn’t be sure if it was an Illusion Realm.

As he marveled inwardly, the deathly still Space was suddenly thrown into turmoil. A massive vortex appeared in the blood-red sky.

From within the vortex, an incomparably powerful Battle Intent gushed forth. Although only the faintest wisp of it was released, it was enough to force Lin Yun to his knees.

’Such powerful Battle Intent...’ he marveled. Lin Yun was starting to have second thoughts about the Bone Spear. If this was the true Battle Intent contained within it, he would have definitely given up any idea of claiming the weapon.

The Battle Intent emanating from the vortex grew stronger and stronger, pressing Lin Yun flat against the ground. It was less like Battle Intent and more like Celestial Might.

Faced with this Battle Intent, Lin Yun couldn’t muster the slightest will to resist. It was like an ant facing an elephant.

After an unknown amount of time, the Battle Intent in the sky slowly receded. When Lin Yun was able to move again, he looked up and froze on the spot.

On the previously empty wasteland, a hundred-meter-tall figure now stood before Lin Yun, calmly watching him.

Although he knew the figure wasn’t real, Lin Yun was certain it was an unparalleled expert—at the very least, an existence capable of annihilating Yanhuang Country with a single finger.

He didn’t dare make the slightest move. Facing the hundred-meter-tall figure, he had no idea where he was. The best choice was to wait and see what happened.

After a long moment, the figure’s calm voice slowly rang out, "Eighth Layer of Opening Realm? How weak."

The figure’s voice was clear, yet to Lin Yun’s ears, it seemed to echo across the river of time. The sound, both faint and distinct, caused him to fall into a momentary daze.

Ignoring the stunned Lin Yun, the figure continued, "The fact that the White Bone Spear brought you here means it has acknowledged you. Very well. After a thousand years, it is time for this old man to let the White Bone Spear shine once more."

Listening to the figure, Lin Yun slowly came back to his senses. ’This figure must be the Bone Spear’s previous owner,’ he guessed. ’I wonder why he left it here.’

"Since the White Bone Spear has acknowledged you, you must have comprehended Battle Intent. However, your current Battle Intent is far too weak to be of any great use..."

The figure spoke slowly, completely disregarding Lin Yun’s feelings.

According to the figure, Battle Intent was the manifestation of a warrior’s will. Only those who were exceptionally talented or tempered by countless battles could comprehend it.

Based on its strength, Battle Intent was divided into five Levels: Entry Level, Minor Achievement, Great Success, Perfection, and Peak.

Lin Yun’s current Battle Intent could only be considered Entry Level, and he had only just reached that stage. It was pitifully weak.

In addition to Battle Intent, Lin Yun also learned about the Bone Spear from the figure.

The Bone Spear was the Weapon this person had used a thousand years ago. It had been severely damaged in a great battle, and its spiritual essence had completely dissipated. Aside from its inherent toughness, it could no longer be considered a Spirit Soldier.

But even so, for Lin Yun, the Bone Spear was still an absurdly powerful weapon in its current state.

"Kid, although the White Bone Spear has lost its spiritual essence, it’s not something any trash-tier Treasure Soldier can compare to. When you have the ability to repair it in the future, you will be truly awestruck by its might. Now, take good care of the White Bone Spear..." As his voice trailed off, the figure slowly dissipated, and the scene around Lin Yun once again changed rapidly.

When he came to his senses again, Lin Yun found himself back in the gorge, still gripping the White Bone Spear. The only difference was that the weapon was no longer resisting; its Battle Intent had vanished completely.

Finally able to properly examine the White Bone Spear in his hand, Lin Yun discovered that although it was made of bone, its entire body was as smooth and lustrous as jade, without a single crack to be seen.

’What a fine spear,’ he sighed in admiration. With a sudden tug, Lin Yun instantly yanked the Bone Spear from the ground.

The shaft was two meters long, with a razor-sharp point at its tip. Gently stroking the body of the White Bone Spear, Lin Yun found he couldn’t bear to part with it.

It felt as if the spear had been tailor-made for him. Although it had lost its spiritual essence, Lin Yun had no doubt its power was in no way inferior to any Celestial Spirit Soldier.

"Alright. From now on, you’re with me," Lin Yun declared with a hearty laugh.

’The rewards this time are immense.’ Not only had Little Ape awakened its bloodline, but his own Battle Intent had broken through to the Entry Level, and on top of that, he had obtained the White Bone Spear.

’It’s time for revenge.’ With a faint smile, a plan formed in Lin Yun’s mind. Those eight Academy students had hunted him for dozens of miles. Now, it was time to repay the favor.

(To my friends, Wufeng updates three Chapters a day. When it comes to updating and writing, I want to speak from the heart: I am truly doing my absolute best. Writing a book takes more time for planning than for the actual writing. I think about the plot, the points of conflict, and all sorts of other elements, all to make the story more exciting for you all to read!

I’ve talked with other authors, and three Chapters a day is a pretty standard update schedule now, no matter the platform!

Of course, this isn’t an excuse. I just want to say that Divine Emperor Demon Emperor is my labor of love. It’s like my own child, something I’ve typed out one word at a time. I will not sacrifice the quality of Divine Emperor Demon Emperor just to increase the release speed!

At the same time, I completely understand how you all feel while waiting for updates. I can promise everyone that I won’t be late with the three daily Chapters, and I won’t go on hiatus. I do what I say I will do, and you can all hold me to it! I hope everyone can be understanding and patient. I thank you all for that!

And lastly, last of all, please add this to your collection and give it a recommendation!!!!)
