Chapter 917 - 853: I’ll Take Care of Heavenly Dao Too

"I can’t bear it anymore."

Han Yu shouted with a dark expression on his face, half a two-hour period later.

The reason was simple—Artifact Spirit had already made seven or eight holes in his stomach.

Who wouldn’t be able to stand this!

Artifact Spirit looked helpless, it had been very cautious, but that force just wouldn’t cooperate!

It didn’t dare stay still and let itself be extinguished, and the speed at which that destructive force roamed within Han Yu’s body was ridiculously fast.

So it had to chase after it and stab, leading to the current situation.

Well, luckily the tough-skinned brat wouldn’t die even after being stabbed multiple times.

This time, however, Han Yu refused to yield.

"Just this little bit left."

Artifact Spirit waved the small knife helplessly and tried to persuade him.

"You recover quickly, see, it’s already scabbed over. Just wait a little longer, and it’ll be completely healed. Come, just one more stab."

Han Yu’s face grew darker, it wasn’t about being injured or not.

"You’re trying to stab my kidney, do you think I can agree to that?"

This remaining force was truly peculiar, perhaps because it had been worn down too much and no longer had the energy to roam.

Or maybe Han Yu’s kidney was the weakest spot in his whole body.

In any case, this force stopped at his left kidney, and hey! It’s not moving anymore.

Artifact Spirit had already coaxed and threatened through his abdomen for a small moment, yet nothing changed.

With no other choice, it had to persuade Han Yu.

But Han Yu was unusually stubborn about his kidney and refused under any circumstances.

"You know you’ll recover after being stabbed, it won’t affect anything."

"Besides, you have a share in this knife too, it definitely won’t weaken your kidney."

Artifact Spirit spoke earnestly: the kidney wasn’t as important as the flesh; without removing this section of rule power, it would always pose a threat.

They stalemated for half a day, Han Yu finally relented slightly and spoke reluctantly, feeling uneasy.

"Then this matter must never be spoken about, not a word to anyone."

Artifact Spirit pointed the knife around and rolled its eyes.

"It’s just you and me here, no third party will know."

Han Yu lay back down, waiting for Artifact Spirit to strike.

When Artifact Spirit positioned the knife at his kidney, Han Yu still felt unsettled and hesitantly said, "I don’t know why, but I feel like there are eyes everywhere, watching you stab my kidney."

Artifact Spirit, tired of talking, stabbed directly. A wave of destructive aura immediately surged out, but before it could leave, it was already severed by Artifact Spirit pulling out the small knife.

After finishing all this, it spoke, "This is your injury-induced illusion."

Han Yu rose, holding his kidney, though he really didn’t need to. With a brief scab, soon not even a scar remained.

The reluctance to hurt the kidney was purely psychological!

Only now did Han Yu have the time or leisure to study the West River Slash. As the small knife returned to his hand, it again transformed into an unfamiliar blade suited to him.

Similarly, the West River Slash in his hand held equal power.

When not in use, it was merely a form without substance.

But once wanting to slash something, it instantly turned into a physical entity.

One man and one spirit discussed the altered ability.

Artifact Spirit speculated that Jiang Xinyuan’s clumsy law prototype had awakened the true rule power.

While Han Yu’s speculation was different, "Could it be that after seizing so much, the rules have strengthened?"

Artifact Spirit wanted to refute but felt the possibility wasn’t low.

Unable to verify, they could only leave it at that.

They couldn’t seek someone to slash just to verify, right?

There were plenty of cultivators to slash, lots of cannon fodder in Yama Hall and Celestial Dao Sect.

But it was too troublesome and risky, not every time one could escape easily.

Once successful, the next time the opposition would only be more cautious.

One misstep, and one might lose their life.

Leaving this issue aside, Han Yu turned to study the uses of the West River Slash.

In mere moments, Artifact Spirit was wide-eyed.

Naturally, Han Yu had once again played with the ability innovatively.

Five Elements Divine Techniques constantly swapped on the blade of West River Slash.

When the power of Wood Divine Power was infused into the West River Slash, the whole unfamiliar blade turned wooden, green and unnervingly so.

It resembled a wooden sword.

When the power of Earth Divine Power flooded into West River Slash, it was like a clay sculpture.

Fire Divine Power was even more outrageous, with fire emanating from the entire body.

Once Water Divine Power was wielded, West River Slash turned entirely soft.

Only under Gold Divine Power did West River Slash appear more proper.

"It seems, not all ability combinations are beneficial, they must be compatible to be strong enough."

Han Yu pondered, leading him to directly abandon pairing with the other four Divine Techniques, opting for Gold Divine Power.

With a wave, a golden rain pattered down, this time without any explosions, yet wherever the rain fell, all life ceased to exist.

"Whose rules are they—the ones you own or mine?"

Artifact Spirit spoke somewhat dully; Han Yu had played with the ability even better than it had.

"Want to learn? I’ll teach you!"

Han Yu withdrew the unfamiliar blade, grinning widely.

This was what they called fortune born out of misfortune.

Artifact Spirit also grinned widely; as long as it mastered Han Yu’s technique, among Ping, itself, and Han Yu, Ping would rank lowest!

The obsession with comparison is deeply rooted, almost like it’s an obsession to be stronger than Ping.

"Now that my abilities have improved, can I change my name?"

The Artifact Spirit suddenly spoke up.

Actually, it really minded this crappy name; it was too unpleasant to hear.

But on the contrary, Han Yu seemed to really like it.

"No."

The refusal was direct and without thought.

"There’s no name more fitting than this."

Han Yu was quite stubborn too, shaking his head to veto.

"How the hell is this fitting?"

The Artifact Spirit got angry, waving its fists with a dark face.

"As the saying goes, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west."

"But whoever messes with me, even if it takes thirty years to go from east to west, I can send them back in a moment."

Han Yu’s words made its face even darker, even though it was just an Artifact Spirit, it knew this saying was being used wrongly.

Besides, looking at Han Yu’s deadpan demeanor, it was clear he had no intention of changing it.

It resignedly shook its head, blaming itself for being too lazy to come up with a name, thus coming up with West River Pill.

At the very least, if it had picked a slightly nicer name, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.

No, it was all that Young Master Xiao’s fault; he was the one who started the thirty years east of the river, thirty years west saying.

"Let’s go! Time to head back."

The Artifact Spirit went back to the Sea of Consciousness with a sigh, pouting.

The old monk had been saved, Han Yu had escaped from two powerful figures, it was time to go back to the Central Continent.

But who would have thought Han Yu shook his head vehemently and spoke up.

"Not going back!"

The Artifact Spirit was taken aback, everything was fine now, why stay here instead of returning to the Central Continent?

To drink the sea breeze?

"This is the Endless Sea Domain!"

Han Yu suddenly spoke, with a peculiar expression on his face.

It was clear he implied something.

The Artifact Spirit had a strong feeling that Han Yu was up to something reckless, and this feeling was extremely strong.

Sure enough, Han Yu’s next words came.

"I just happened to know where the transit points of Celestial Dao Sect and Yama Hall are! Look, isn’t that a coincidence?"

What a load of crap!

This crazy idea and Yama Hall’s location were provided by that damned soul.

Thinking about what Han Yu was going to do, the Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but feel a chill in its heart.

It was freaking crazy, even as a Spirit Body, it was scared, which meant what Han Yu was planning was way too outrageous.

"These two groups will really go crazy."

The Artifact Spirit hurriedly reminded.

Not only would they go crazy, but they’d probably stop at nothing to kill Han Yu.

After all, neither side managed to flip the other’s table.

But in the end, Han Yu, this third party, managed to turn both tables over.

The damage to both sides could be enormous, it’s hard to estimate.

But the insult would definitely be immense.

Han Yu looked stern, speaking seriously, "Even if I don’t do these things, they won’t let me go."

Now both sides thought he was backed by Heaven’s Will, but he knew himself that he had nothing to rely on.

He had absolutely nothing to depend on.

The Wise Fool, if he wasn’t lying, couldn’t get out of the Soul Realm, and he was nearly beaten to death just now without appearing.

Heaven’s Will, Heaven’s Will went missing a long time ago.

Ping, Ping still needed him to feed it.

The Artifact Spirit, that guy was just a mascot in the Sea of Consciousness!

After running around in circles, he was the one doing all the work.

Thinking of this, Han Yu suddenly spoke up indignantly.

"They better damn make sure I’m not Heaven’s Will’s pawn."

"Why?"

The Artifact Spirit was puzzled as to why Han Yu was so angry.

Han Yu gritted his teeth, "I’ve done all this work, if I’m Heaven’s Will’s pawn, wouldn’t I be the hardest-working and most exhausted one?"

"Then by that time, I’ll clean up Heaven’s Will too, that’s reasonable, right?"

"Absolutely reasonable! But can we not stir up trouble now, let’s settle down, and come back when we’re stronger."

Cleaning up Heaven’s Will is just bragging, but causing trouble, Han Yu really meant it!

The Artifact Spirit still had its head on straight on this, quickly trying to persuade again.

"That won’t do, since we’re here, let’s take down both sides’ bases, so that Yama Hall and Celestial Dao Sect have to face off openly."

Han Yu’s plan was to take down both sides’ bases, so when they lost their bases, neither side could sneak around anymore.

Maybe he could even witness the spectacle of both sides besieging each other at the gates.

Just thinking about it was exhilarating.

"I’m afraid by that time, when the strong figures from both sides come after you, it’ll be even more exhilarating."

The Artifact Spirit gave a bitter laugh.

This time, what he planned to do wasn’t any less than stirring up the high platform, in some sense, even harsher...
