Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1316 - 1313: The Proud Artifact Spirit

Looking at the small bronze furnace hovering in front of him, Yang Fei couldn’t help but wish to destroy it.

Yet, recalling the powerful defensive capabilities it showed in Wang Huanying’s hands, he felt reluctant to do so.

Moreover, after the recent incident, he had witnessed the strength of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace and felt a bit eager to see how much power and effect it could exert once he completely subdued it.

He both loved and hated this thing.

Yang Fei grasped the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace in one hand, held it up, then glanced at the crowd, casually asking, "Is everyone okay? Does anyone feel anything strange?"

The crowd had already checked themselves upon awakening, and they shook their heads in response.

Li Xuanyu couldn’t help but say, "Yang Fei, what kind of evil object is this bronze furnace? Why is it so eerie and domineering?"

The others also looked at Yang Fei curiously, intrigued by the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.

Yang Fei said, "It’s called the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, reportedly a magic treasure refined by a powerful ancient evil cultivator during the Ancient Cultivation World, it has already produced an artifact spirit. It was this artifact spirit that just awakened and trapped Qin Yanyang and me, even drawing a significant amount of our life essence blood from us, causing it to become increasingly stronger, and it also baffled you all."

Everyone’s gaze swept over Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, it was evident that the two’s spirit diminished significantly compared to before, causing a collective gasp.

"If you hadn’t awakened and suppressed it, after it drained you and your wife’s life essence blood, it would have been our turn," Helian Zhan said, still with lingering fears, "We have been cultivating for many years, thinking we weren’t weak cultivators, yet we didn’t expect that this single bronze furnace almost led to our annihilation."

Wang Chunyang also had a bitter expression.

Several Blood Clan experts looked at the bronze furnace in Yang Fei’s hand with lingering fears, their eyes filled with deep dread.

Sun Xingyu couldn’t help but ask, "Yang Fei, has it been completely subdued by you?"

Yang Fei shook his head, "Not yet, but its awakening spiritual wisdom isn’t strong enough right now. Fortunately, my Soul Binding Rope is specifically designed to suppress the divine soul, so it has to bow down to me temporarily."

Wang Lei said, "You need to find a way to fully subdue it, otherwise it’s still dangerous."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

We were almost taken out by this bronze furnace earlier. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

It took so much effort for us to reach this point, even when facing the invasion from the Southern Domain Cultivation World, we have repelled them multiple times. We haven’t died at the hands of Southern Domain cultivators; if we were to be taken out here by a bronze furnace, it would be too humiliating to spread the word.

Yang Fei glanced at the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace in his hand and said to the crowd, "Let me communicate with it."

Upon saying this, he sent his primordial spirit to probe, and the artifact spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace immediately established a connection with Yang Fei.

Originally, it was very arrogant, but at this moment, it was very courteous to Yang Fei, saying, "Yang Fei, using your humans’ words, we may not be acquainted without fighting. When you were trapped by me earlier, I conducted an information search on your memories, knowing that your current situation is quite bad. Rest assured, with my assistance, you have no need to fear these Southern Domain cultivators. With your current combat strength and my help, not to mention the fact that Southern Domain cultivators can only send over some Foundation Establishment Stage weaklings, even if cultivators in the Core Formation Stage were to come, we could easily join forces to suppress them."

Yang Fei was secretly surprised, using Divine Sense to communicate, "You can perform Soul Search?"

The artifact spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace said, "Yes, but only at the current level of my restored strength can I achieve reading your memories, and that is only when you are in a state of being devoured of essence blood or confused."

Yang Fei was secretly astounded.

This Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace is truly domineering; the artifact spirit has just awakened not long ago, its restored power is minimal, yet it already possesses such formidable means. If its restoration and growth continue, can I still control it in the future?

Recalling the scene where he and Qin Yanyang were almost drained of essence blood, a wave of apprehension hit him.

If this thing cannot be completely controlled, it cannot be kept; it must be destroyed.

Thinking of this, he directly said, "You are indeed a treasure, but you are also a ticking time bomb that could blow me to pieces, so I can’t keep you."

The artifact spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said, "I can make an oath to the Heavenly Dao, I will absolutely never betray you, we can become the closest friends cooperating for mutual growth."

"Haha, you are merely a consciousness born from an object, and you want to be on equal footing with me, to become friends?" Yang Fei laughed angrily.

The artifact spirit said, "Do you look down on humans... and us artifact spirits? All things have spirit; all things are equal. Why must humans be superior? Why can’t I be your friend? Back in the day, when I followed my master, Taoist Wuji, we roamed the Ancient Cultivation World. Who dared to disrespect us? Now, I am just relatively weak, not completely restored, yet you dare to look down on me?"

In its last few words, its emotions seemed quite stirred, very angry, with an innate proud demeanor in its tone.

"When I use my Soul Binding Rope to turn this artifact spirit to ashes, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace will reset to zero, then I can slowly nurture it, and it will be entirely at my disposal," Yang Fei said coldly.

Upon hearing the Soul Binding Rope, the artifact spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace displayed evident fear.

As they say, one thing subdues another; not to mention that its restoration is not strong, even at its strongest, the Soul Binding Rope still has a strong restraining effect on it.

Being able to produce an artifact spirit was no easy feat, how could the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace be willing to easily become scattered souls?

It hurriedly said, "No, absolutely not. Once I am turned to ashes, sure, you may acquire an incredible magic treasure, but without the ability to exert its greatest power and effect. Conversely, with my loyal service, you can use the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace as flexibly as an arm, invoke the magic, and the power and effect you can exert far surpass its original capabilities."

"But I don’t trust your loyalty," Yang Fei said.

The artifact spirit fell silent.

After a moment, it spoke quietly, "Then you can suppress a portion of me within the Soul Binding Rope."

Yang Fei was taken aback, saying, "Aren’t you very weak? Can you still divide your soul?"

The artifact spirit said, "I can break into many parts; as long as one part is not destroyed, I can regenerate. Unlike you human cultivators, your divine souls cannot divide unless you have stepped into the Divinity Transformation Realm. Even for cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Realm, if their primordial spirit is damaged, it severely impacts their primordial spirit foundation."

Yang Fei’s eyes flashed with cold light, filled with killing intent: "So your artifact spirit’s primordial spirit can split into countless parts, and even if one primordial spirit is destroyed, it doesn’t affect the others, which can continue to grow and eventually recover to their strongest state, right?"

The artifact spirit hurriedly said, "No, although our artifact spirit’s primordial spirit can break into many parts, if annihilated, it also damages the foundation, but the damage effect is much less severe compared to human cultivators’ primordial spirits.

Yang Fei, I genuinely want to befriend you. Together, I can definitely help you ascend powerfully and lead Earth Cultivators to break through the constraints of the Southern Domain Cultivation World. I can help you become a super powerhouse in the Cultivation World. Trust me, I won’t let you down."
