Chapter 9: Super Divine Artifact

"It's truly a god‑level martial soul, and it's the one those two who became gods ten thousand years ago possessed!" Bing Di exclaimed, and his confidence in Tianmeng's plan grew.

"So, Bingbing, what do you think?"

Hearing that, Bing Di said coldly, "Do I still have a chance to choose?"

"Not surprising, my beloved Bingbing, what a wise choice!" Tianmeng Bingcan began to complain again.

"Alright, Brother Tianmeng, Bing Di, let's start, I really can't hold on any longer…" Su Yun Tian, shivering from the cold, urged.

"Alright, alright!"

One day later.

The youth, bare‑chested, let out an angry shout.

"Ah!"

A blood‑red martial soul ring, as if poured with fresh blood, appeared behind him, exuding a cold, ferocious aura.

Four golden patterns were etched on it, indicating the ring had reached four hundred thousand years!

Immediately, a scorpion tattoo emerged on his back, studded with countless emerald‑green ice crystals, like six claws covering his back, encircling him like armor.

The two front pincers rested on his shoulders.

His arms were coated with a layer of diamond‑like hexagonal particles, glittering brightly.

The snowflakes above the sky seemed to deliberately avoid him; whenever they approached, a mysterious force suddenly pulled them away.

A rim of emerald light suddenly spread from his body, forming a green‑hued sphere.

The snowflakes within instantly solidified, becoming sharp spikes that pierced the snow ground.

"Success! From today onward, you're the only one on the continent with a three‑life martial soul!" Tianmeng Bingcan watched, excitement flashing in his eyes!

【Congratulations, host, for snatching Bing Di: Reward—Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd! Villain value +10,000!】

Looking at the system‑granted reward, Su Yun Tian was slightly stunned; earlier he had wondered why Tianmeng Bingcan only gave ten thousand, but now realized each was calculated separately.

The abilities brought by Bing Di were no weaker than those of Tianmeng Bingcan.

One ultimate ice martial soul, a four‑hundred‑thousand‑year soul ring, a four‑hundred‑thousand‑year soul bone, and four soul skills.

Of course, those mattered not; the most important thing was the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd!

【Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd: a super divine artifact birthed from the Abyssal plane! Can ignore opponent's defense!】

It can be said that in terms of attack power, no super divine artifact surpasses the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd.

After all, others are all critical‑hit blades, whereas the Halberd deals true damage plus crit on every strike—how to match that?

Then, with a move of his right hand, the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd instantly materialized in Su Yun Tian's grasp.

Its appearance resembled a Fangtian painting halberd, entirely blue‑purple, covered with strange patterns, each line shimmering with an uncanny luster, fine and dense like scales.

When the Halberd appeared, Su Yun Tian felt an inexplicable connection to the surrounding space.

With a light slash, the space before him was instantly cut open.

Su Yun Tian's eyelid twitched.

Getting hit by this thing leaves you bruised blue and purple.

The Halberd's mysterious aura naturally attracted the three within the Spirit Sea.

Tianmeng, beside him, clicked in amazement: "Xiao Yun Tian, where did you get this weapon? It's so cool, so sharp."

"This is… a super divine artifact!" only the Angel God Qian Renxue whispered, her exquisite face showing a hint of disbelief.

This is indeed a super divine artifact! Even her Angelic Holy Sword is merely an artifact.

Across the divine realm, only the five Great Divine Kings and the Sea God possess super divine artifacts!

"Super… super divine artifact!" Tianmeng Bingcan exclaimed, startled.

Even the ever‑cold‑faced Bing Di couldn't help but blink, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Xiao Yun Tian, where did this thing come from?" Tianmeng Bingcan asked.

Although he didn't know what a super divine artifact was, he knew what an artifact was!

"Picked it up," Su Yun Tian replied.

"Fine, if you don't want to say, never mind; I don't want to know either," Tianmeng Bingcan snorted, then went back to sleep.

"Qian Renxue, where's your Angelic Holy Sword?" Su Yun Tian suddenly thought.

"Why, do you want it?" Qian Renxue squinted, a slight lift at the corner of her mouth.

"Obviously, this is the weapon most suited for a holder of an Angel martial soul."

Su Yun Tian gave her a blank stare, speechless.

"Your strength isn't enough now; even if I told you, you couldn't obtain it. Wait until you become a Soul Emperor, then we'll talk."

Su Yun Tian let out a soft "oh."

"Counting the time, the Freshman Assessment day is near, and I still haven't obtained the third soul ring; I must hurry back."

Because he can fly, reaching the far‑north took little time.

But he still needs to go to the Star Dou Great Forest again.

Fortunately, to prevent beast tides, Slake Academy was deliberately built near the Star Dou Great Forest, not far away.

Star Dou Great Forest, outskirts.

"Quick, Yun Tian, that luminous deer is perfect for you; don't let it run away!"

Qian Renxue shouted from within the Spirit Sea.

"Got it!" Su Yun Tian replied, his wings flapping rapidly behind him.

Ahead was a massive golden deer; this soul beast contains a strong light power, extremely rare.

However, its own combat ability wasn't strong.

"Angel's Eye!"

Su Yun Tian waved his hand grandly, and the first soul ring lit up, a Golden Vertical Pupil appearing out of nowhere above his head.

With a point of his right hand, a golden ray burst from the vertical pupil, straight at the Light Deer.

The Light Deer couldn't dodge in time and was knocked to the ground.

"Ha ha, Xiao Yun Tian, your luck is amazing! It's been so long since we've met any other trouble‑making soul beasts!" Tianmeng Bingcan exclaimed excitedly.

Each time Su Yun Tian makes progress, they feel they are one step closer to becoming a deity.

"No time to waste, go finish it off and absorb the soul ring," Qian Renxue said.

"Alright!" Su Yun Tian drew a dagger and gradually approached the Light Deer.

"Human soul master, stop!"

At that moment, a sharp shout rang from behind.

Su Yun Tian was startled, turned around, and saw a uniquely shaped soul beast standing there, its voice seeming to come from it!

The beast's body was covered with crystal‑like golden hair, and on its forehead it bore a blood‑red vertical pupil.

"Imperial Auspicious Beast, San Yan Jin Ni! Yun Tian, run!" Bing Di's eyelid twitched, and he shouted urgently.

It should be known that the Imperial Auspicious Beast is a darling of the Star Dou Great Forest; in other words, its status is equivalent to Huo Yuhao in the human world.

Putting aside its own special abilities, just its extreme light‑fire attribute and its 15,000‑year cultivation, even a typical 100,000‑year soul beast might not be its opponent!

San Yan Jin Ni walked up to Su Yun Tian with curiosity, sniffed, and said, "Huh, you soul master are strange; you're clearly human, yet you carry a soul‑beast aura, and it seems you also have other special energy."
