Chapter 1206 - Strong Taste

Chapter 1206: Strong Taste

The Fire Dragon Sword did not have an artifact spirit originally. The artifact spirit only appeared because the Fire Dragon Sword merged with the Mystic Divine Saber. Thus, one could say that the artifact spirit was the Mystic Divine Saber’s!

The Mystic Divine Saber was a divine artifact. It was only normal for it to have an artifact spirit, but this artifact spirit was too intelligent, wasn’t it?

It could control its owner’s primordial spirit? This made Jiang Yi afraid more than shocked. Things outside his control were always scary. He felt that way even with the Rainbow Soul Spear. That was what drove him to almost destroy it.

Now, he really wanted the artifact spirit to crush the demon sovereign, but there was no way he could send a voice transmission to the artifact spirit; neither did he know how to control it. All he could do was watch as the artifact spirit played tough.

“Lord, let me go this once. I promise I will not treat you as my enemy anymore!”

The demon sovereign once again turned into a small young lady. She trembled before the Fire Dragon. Since the artifact spirit possessed this Fire Dragon, the dragon exuded a frightening aura which caused the young lady to feel like there was no way for her to take it on. They were not even of the same caliber.

“Then die.”

The Fire Dragon charged head-on toward her, putting on a great display of power. This Fire Dragon from the Divinity Slayer dao pattern could control its own flight. It could stop and fly whenever it wanted.

“I’ll submit! Please spare me, Lord!”

Just before the Fire Dragon collided with the young lady, she cried out in desperation. The dragon stopped right in front of her for a second before swallowing her whole anyway. Not only did it swallow her, but it also continued to fly around Jiang Yi’s spiritual consciousness after that. Only after a long while did it finally enter the Fire Dragon Sword and disappear.

“Damn!”

Jiang Yi used his divine senses to do a sweep of his spiritual consciousness and found that not one hint of the black fog remained. Even the demon sovereign was gone. Her spirit was nowhere to be found. He quickly focused his mind on the Fire Dragon Sword, trying to find the artifact spirit and the demon sovereign but to no avail.

Hoo-Hoo!

Jiang Yi opened his eyes and sucked in two deep breaths. When he realized that there was a black fog near his body, he quickly pulled himself together. There were still two demon sovereigns outside, weren’t there? Only several seconds passed since the young demon sovereign entered Jiang Yi’s spiritual consciousness and got taken away by the artifact spirit. One of the demon sovereigns outside was still spitting out black flames and releasing poisonous fog like the young lady was doing in his mind. Yet, they did no damage to Jiang Yi’s body.

“Die!”

He decided to cast aside all his worries about the artifact spirit and the demon sovereign. With his Fire Dragon Sword, he activated the Divinity Slayer and caused the ball-like demon to become a ball of blood. The remaining demon sovereigns felt something amiss. Not only did their chief fail to control Jiang Yi’s body after entering it, but she also did not appear again.

“Run—”

As Jiang Yi prepared to attack it, the demon sovereign hidden below the sea’s surface quickly turned to dive deeper into the sea. Soon, it disappeared. The severely injured hippopotamus also disappeared into the distance.

Jiang Yi decided not to give chase. He was still reeling from the shock of everything that happened in his mind. As he floated in mid-air, he tried to scan his own soul spirit. Once he was sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he focused his mind again on his Fire Dragon Sword and tried to look for the artifact spirit.

However…!

After searching more than ten times throughout the sword, he could not find the artifact spirit or the demon sovereign. Even in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man, he could not find them!

Buzz!

The Fire Dragon Sword suddenly lit up. A ball of black gas came out of the Fire Dragon Sword. Jiang Yi’s expression hardened. This was the demon sovereign’s aura.

As expected…

The black ball of gas congealed into a young lady in mid-air, but there was no hint of arrogance or killing intent on her face. Instead, she looked fearfully at Jiang Yi and cupped her hands. “Mei Ru pays her respects to the Lord.”

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. His Fire Dragon Sword lit up, and he was ready to strike with it. However, a clear voice sounded in his head at that moment: “Idiot, I’ve already taken control of this demon sovereign. You can do whatever you want with her.”

“Oh, okay.”

Jiang Yi nodded. He quickly locked in on that voice and said, “Who are you? Are you the Mystic Divine Saber’s artifact spirit?”

That presence did not disappear this time. Instead, it spoke back with a cold voice: “Brat, your powers are too weak. Once you become as strong as the Mystic Thearch used to be, then I will show myself to you. Otherwise, you will never see me.”

Once he said this, the presence disappeared without a trace. No matter how hard Jiang Yi tried, he could no longer locate it. Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. Why was the Mystic Divine Saber’s artifact spirit so arrogant? Become as strong as the Mystic Thearch… did he think that anyone could become the Mystic Thearch so easily?

Still, that sentence alone gave Jiang Yi enough clues. It looked like this artifact spirit really did belong to the Mystic Divine Saber. After following the Mystic Thearch in battle for so many years, it became extremely intelligent. Its previous owner was the Mystic Thearch. Of course, it would think highly of itself and look down on Jiang Yi. Only after Jiang Yi became as strong as the Mystic Thearch would the artifact spirit finally be willing to submit to him.

What difference was there between this artifact spirit and other spirit beasts such as the Yazi Beast which the Witch God allowed to follow Jiang Yi? Although it was acting under the Witch God’s commands, it was unwilling to listen to Jiang Yi. It was not until Jiang Yi became as strong as the Witch God that the Yazi Beast finally submitted to him completely.

“It looks like the Fire Dragon Sword can become even stronger!”

Jiang Yi’s gaze burned with passion. The artifact spirit was the core of a weapon. Pseudo-divine artifacts, for example, would become much more powerful after they connected with the owner’s soul. Jiang Yi believed that as long as he could subdue this divine artifact’s artifact spirit, the Fire Dragon Sword would become much more powerful.

After remaining in deep thought for a long while, he finally cast all of these aside. He turned to look at the cold and elegant young lady in front of him. “Are you the chief of the Black Sea?”

The young lady cupped her hands. “Yes, Lord. Mei Ru is the Thearch of the Black Sea. All the demons in this sea listen to my orders, and all the demon sovereigns are under my control.”

“Mei Ru? Beautiful… breasts[1]?”

Jiang Yi’s gaze fell on the exposed part of her breasts. Very quickly, he turned away, not daring to look any longer.

Humans and demons did not mix. No matter how beautiful she was, she was still a demon; and she still had a beast’s body. Bestiality was a bit too strong for Jiang Yi. Of course, if he sent Mei Ru to the East Imperial Continent, he could foresee many men giving in to that kind of strong taste.

“The Thearch of the Black Sea!”

Jiang Yi suddenly jumped in shock. The Buddha Thearch, Night Empress, Xuan Thearch, Yin Thearch, and Buddha Emperor were all still missing in the Black Sea. This Thearch of the Black Sea should know their whereabouts. He quickly asked, “A while ago, a few humans came into the Black Sea. Among them were a few thearchs. Do you know where they are now?”

“En, I do!”

Mei Ru nodded and said proudly, “The first group entered the Death God’s Dense Sea. The second group is under my control, and they are now my slaves. They’re in the Black Sea Palace now.”

“Damn!”

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. The Buddha Emperor and the others fell under her control? He nervously asked, “Can your slaves regain their freedom?”

“Yes!” Mei Ru nodded confidently.

“This artifact spirit is so powerful.”

Jiang Yi nodded subtly. Mei Ru had obviously been completely changed by the artifact spirit. She answered all of Jiang Yi’s questions without any hesitation. She was no different from a soul slave. Jiang Yi was completely relieved now. He waved his hand and said, “Bring me to the Black Sea Palace immediately.”

The Buddha Emperor was his future father-in-law. The Yin Emperor, Xuan Emperor, and Night Emperor all came together. Although the Yin Clan did not like him, he could not change the fact that Yin Ruobing was his wife. He had to rescue all of them.

Swish!

Mei Ru flew toward the sea. She waved her hand and caused the sea to part. A passage appeared underneath. In a flash, Jiang Yi followed her into the Black Sea.

Crash!

By the time Jiang Yi and Mei Ru disappeared into the Black Sea, the waters fell back together. Peace was restored on the sea surface. It was almost as if nothing had even happened.

[1] ‘Beautiful breasts’ sound like Mei Ru in Mandarin.
