Zayden was still executing a series of spear movements under the dragon’s watch.
Soaring Dragon Spear Technique—First Move: Shattering Void.
Whooosh!
He swept his spear with tremendous force, causing the space several kilometers away to tremble slightly.
Zayden then flipped the spear a few times and executed another series of movements before unleashing another technique.
Soaring Dragon Spear Technique—Second Move: Shattering Sky.
He created a series of quick sweeping motions upward.
Waves of sharp energy were unleashed from the spear and flew toward the firmament with incredible speed.
The space once again trembled, but it was still strong enough to withstand the power of his strike.
Zayden then flipped his spear a few times again.
He continued creating another series of movements before finally unleashing another technique.
He suddenly raised his spear toward the heavens.
Soaring Dragon Spear Technique—Third Move: Shattering the Heavens.
Whoosh!
Zayden slashed his spear downward with a powerful sweep.
The space around him trembled violently, accompanied by a low rattling sound.
After unleashing the last technique, he stopped moving.
Sweat rolled down his handsome face and muscular body.
Zayden adjusted his breathing.
Despite his body looking like he had just bathed, he still looked like he could continue with his training.
He rotated the spear in his hand a few times before embedding it into the invisible ground.
He smiled.
He felt satisfied with his execution of the movements.
‘I never get tired of this feeling.
This refreshing and powerful feeling is addicting.
This cultivation method has truly propelled my level to something much higher than what I had already achieved in the past,’ he thought.
‘I’ve already reached Middle-Earl Stage.
That’s the Fifth-Stage of this cultivation system.
It’s the same as the Fifth-Stage of this world’s cultivation system, the Element-Integration Stage.’
Zayden took a deep breath and released it.
‘Let’s review once again what I have learned and achieved.
With this new cultivation method, I have already passed the Beginner, Disciple, Baron, and Viscount-Stages.
I reached Middle Earl-Stage a few months ago.’ This chapter is updated first at g.com.
‘With this cultivation method, I could add a new element to my comprehension.
In the past, I comprehended the Fire and Wind Elements, which I incorporated into my sword techniques.
Now, I can also use the Earth Element, which I have incorporated into my techniques.’
“Zayden.”
Zayden’s reflection was cut off by the dragon’s voice.
He turned to look at the dragon and smiled.
He approached him and, with a respectful bow, greeted the dragon.
“Master.”
They had already spent a long time inside the subspace, and their relationship had grown much closer.
Zayden already considered the dragon, the spirit of the spear, to be his master.
There was no way he could think otherwise.
The extensive power and knowledge that the dragon had given him was something that had already made him a direct disciple of the dragon.
He did not care that the dragon was an artifact spirit.
The fact still stood that the dragon was the one who had saved his life and given him a second chance.
He was also the one who had trained him into what he had become today.
His master, the dragon, nodded.
“You have already worked hard until this day. Do you know how much time has passed in this space?”
Zayden shook his head.
“I don’t know, Master.”
“You have already spent fifty years here.”
Hearing the answer, Zayden’s heart shook.
His heart suddenly became chaotic again.
If he had spent fifty years here, then five years had already passed in the outside world!
In that time, many things could have happened.
Especially his family…
“This is the time for you to finally get out of this place. The energy in this space has already almost dried up and needs to be recharged. The time dilation will also be deactivated,” his master continued.
Zayden widened his eyes.
His heartbeat quickened.
There was a moment of silence before he finally managed to open his lips.
“Really, Master?”
His master nodded.
“Yes, you are not entirely helpless anymore. With your current state, you will have no difficulty facing Sixth-Stage cultivators. If you use me, you could even fight Seventh-Stage cultivators. Just be careful with Eighth and Ninth-Stage cultivators, as they could still easily kill you.”
Thud!
“Thank you for all of your guidance all this time, Master! I will surely never forget everything that you have already given to me.” Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Zayden kowtowed to his master.
“Why would you say it as if we will separate forever? You will bring me throughout your journey, remember? I will see for myself if my decision to let you touch me and make me your artifact was correct. You better not die after I have invested so much in you, or I will make sure to devour your soul.”
Zayden’s body shuddered.
Although he did not know if his master would really do that, he did not want to try it.
He did not want to be devoured by this mighty dragon.
He might really experience everlasting torture if that happened.
“I will keep that in mind,” Zayden replied.
“And another thing, remember this. You can make those traitors pay for what they have done, but only if you do not allow your desire for vengeance to consume you. If vengeance consumes you, I assure you, you will accomplish nothing,” his master said.
His voice sounded solemn.
Zayden released a breath and nodded.
“Thank you for the advice, Master.”
Suddenly, Zayden felt his body being sucked away, and his surroundings changed into a different place.
He blinked several times before looking at the sky.
He could see the stars and the moon.
He then looked below and to his side.
There were no stars anymore, but he could feel the sensation of the ground beneath him.
This time, it was real ground.
After years of standing in the middle of space, this was the first time he could finally touch the real ground again.
After realizing where he was, he released a sigh.
‘This is the bottom of the abyss.’
He then turned his focus to the spear in front of him.
The spear was still exuding a golden light.
He couldn’t help but feel that all of this was surreal.
To think that he could experience all of that after he had almost died.
He felt like what he had just experienced was nothing more than a dream.
This was also the first time he could observe the spear in much greater detail.
Now that he was in good condition, he could finally admire the spear’s perfection.
‘Although I don’t know my master’s origin, it’s pretty obvious that this spear is a much greater artifact than that Heavenly Sword.
I’m certain of it.’
He had already touched the Heavenly Sword and experienced its sensation.
He believed that the Heavenly Sword was of a lower grade than this spear.
Zayden then took a deep breath.
He finally grabbed the spear.
