Primordial Harem System
Chapter Summary
The ground beneath him crackled with electricity, and arcs of lightning shot all around him, striking the trees and the invisible walls of the formation. Yet, instead of resisting the energy, Shen Yuan allowed it to flow through him, trusting his Thunder God Codex and his own affinity with lightning to absorb and harmonize with the spear's power. '[That's natural, only someone at the level of your Sect Ancestor can make use of such a weapon.
He closed his eyes, slowly circulating the Thunder God Codex throughout his body.
His Thunder Qi surged, intertwining with not only the surrounding Qi but also the Qi of the Spear itself.
The ground beneath him crackled with electricity, and arcs of lightning shot all around him, striking the trees and the invisible walls of the formation.
The spear hummed intensely at first, releasing a pulse of energy that seemed to devour Shen Yuan, but he let the attack hit his body.
The thunder seemed to be absorbed into his body as his bloodline calmed down after devouring the foreign energy.
He didn't flinch back even a step as he stood his ground, "Let's step up the game, huh.
" He smirked before activating his Thunder Intent.
He wasn't forcing his will upon the weapon; instead, he was trying to harmonize with it, allowing both of their powers to flow freely and naturally.
The spear's resistance gradually subsided, the violent crackles softening into a steady hum.
Shen Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze meeting the glowing spear in front of him.
Slowly, he extended his hand towards the spear, wrapping his hand around it as the spear seemed to grow silent.
The moment Shen Yuan's hand wrapped around the spear's shaft, the world around him seemed to freeze.
A deafening hum echoed through the clearing, and the air became filled with an oppressive energy.
The spear pulsed in his hand, its lightning surging wildly as if rejecting its new wielder at the last moment.
Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes as the surge of energy intensified.
"Huh?
You are not going to make this easy on me, are you?
" he muttered under his breath.
The spear's glow brightened as if responding to him, and the entire separate space trembled violently.
Thunder Qi spiraled outward, creating shockwaves that crackled through the barrier and struck the surrounding trees, splitting them apart.
The invisible barrier itself began to distort and ripple chaotically.
Han Qingyu and Wan Ling, waiting outside the barrier, staggered as the ground beneath them shook violently.
"What's happening in there?!
" Han Qingyu exclaimed, her grip tightening on her spear.
Wan Ling's eyes darted toward the distorting barrier, her voice filled with concern.
"It's as if the entire formation is collapsing!
"Inside, Shen Yuan gritted his teeth as the spear unleashed its full might.
Bolts of lightning struck his body repeatedly, searing his skin and bones with their raw energy.
Yet, instead of resisting the energy, Shen Yuan allowed it to flow through him, trusting his Thunder God Codex and his own affinity with lightning to absorb and harmonize with the spear's power.
"You want to test me?
" Shen Yuan growled, his voice cold despite the pain.
"Fine.
Let's see if you can keep up.
"He activated his Thunder God Codex to its fullest extent, his Thunder Qi surging wildly around his body in response to the spear's relentless assault.
His body crackled with electricity, and arcs of lightning danced across his skin, merging with the energy from the spear.
His muscles cracked, but he stood still, not even frowning in pain.
Suddenly, the spear's energy shifted its movements.
Instead of attacking his body, it began to refine him and his core.
The raw lightning coursing through his body turned into a purifying force, breaking down impurities and strengthening every fiber of his being before heading to his core and re-refining it again and again.
His meridians glowed faintly, crackling with Thunder Qi as his internal energy spiraled upward.
Shen Yuan's cultivation base began to rise like crazy.
The oppressive energy surrounding him felt like a storm, battering his core and pushing it to its limits.
Yet, with each wave of energy, his Origin Core grew stronger, more refined, as if the spear itself was guiding him to a higher realm of purity.
But at this time, even his Purity Physique joined the battle as its purity Qi began to re-refine the core alongside the thunder.
The pressure inside the space reached its peak, and the barrier surrounding the formation could no longer withstand the energy.
With a deafening roar, the entire separate space exploded outward, sending a shockwave rippling through the entire mist forest.
The barrier shattered into countless fragments of light, scattering into the mist.
Han Qingyu and Wan Ling shielded themselves as the shockwave passed by them.
When the dust settled, they cautiously looked up, their eyes widening at the sight before them.
Shen Yuan stood in the center of the now-exposed clearing with tattered clothes, his figure radiating an intense, crackling aura of Thunder Qi.
The spear in his hand glowed brightly, arcs of lightning dancing around it as if it had fully submitted to him.
"Brother Yuan!
" Han Qingyu called out, rushing toward him.
"Are you alright?
"Wan Ling followed closely, her expression a mix of concern and awe.
"Senior Brother, what happened to you?
"Shen Yuan opened his eyes, a faint smirk playing on his lips.
His presence felt entirely different from before—stronger, sharper, and more… wild.
"I'm fine," he said with a calm voice that seemed to be brimming with energy.
"The spear just wanted to see if I was worthy.
"As he spoke, the spear pulsed lightly in his hand, as if acknowledging his words.
The wild energy it once exuded had now become calm, perfectly harmonized with Shen Yuan's own Thunder Qi.
Wan Ling's eyes sparkled as she looked at the weapon.
"It's beautiful.
Does it have a name?
"Shen Yuan glanced at the sleek, crackling spear, and at the bottom of the shaft, a name was carved in bold writing.
"Tyrant's Wrath.
" He softly said before looking at the two of them, "Its name is Tyrant's Wrath.
Since it already has a name then there's no point in giving it a new one.
"Han Qingyu's gaze shifted from the body of the spear to Shen Yuan, "Your aura… it's different than before.
Did your cultivation advance?
"Shen Yuan nodded, gripping Tyrant's Wrath tightly, "The spear refined my body and core.
I've broken through to the 5th level of the Origin Core Creation Realm.
"Both Han Qingyu and Wan Ling gasped in astonishment.
Advancing in cultivation so quickly was no small feat, and to do so under such conditions was nothing short of extraordinary.
[Hmm… not bad, Yuan'er,]Yue Lan's voice chimed in his mind, a hint of approval in her tone.
[You really found a treasure this time around.
It's a Tier 6 weapon.
Most sects in the Eastern Desolate Region don't have such a high level of weapon.
And this one is special as it has a Weapon Spirit.
]Yue Lan seemed to think quite highly of the spear,[You can keep upgrading it with different materials and with that Weapon Spirit your spear will always be a step above other weapons in the same category.
]Shen Yuan nodded his head internally, 'I know, this spear… it's way out of my league right now.
I can hardly use any of its powers.
'[That's natural, only someone at the level of your Sect Ancestor can make use of such a weapon.
But well, you might be able to use it before reaching that level, hehe.
