Chapter 824: Pierce the sky
“Screw his ducking grandfather! The Sky-grade god weapon is the perfect creation for our little Ghost!”
Duck Emperor’s eyes were wide open with excitement. Ghost always needed an umbrella to protect herself from the sunlight. The god weapon she was now holding even had defensive capabilities. It was a match made in heaven.
“Lu De mentioned that True Inner Force was required, but Ghost is from the Sucking Blood Clan and only has Spirit Force. I wonder if she can handle the umbrella.” Xiao Luo frowned and furrowed his eyebrows.
“Who cares if she can work it. We have to snatch it by force. It would be okay even if she only uses it as an ordinary umbrella to protect herself from the sun,” Duck Emperor said.
Xiao Luo did not even bother to answer such a ridiculous suggestion.
On the stage, Lu De laughed as he said to Ghost, “What do you think? Are you satisfied with the Phantom Dancer?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Ghost nodded her head happily. She was indeed pretty satisfied with it.
“But you do not have any True Inner Force flowing within you. Will you be able to make use of it to fire the energy cannonball?” Lu De asked with a bit of concern.
He knitted his eyebrows. He had lived a long life and had rich experiences. He knew that there were many clans out there who had dissociated themselves from using True Inner Force, and he assumed the young woman in front of him was from one of those clans.
“I will give it a try.”
Ghost raised both her hands to receive the Phantom Dancer from Lu De. Without hesitation, she injected the Spirit Force from her body, transferring it through her palm into Phantom Dancer.
After two to three seconds of channeling her Spirit energy, Ghost pointed the tip of Phantom Dancer into the distance. In the next instant, a purple ball of energy shot out with a howl that was so piercing it was enough to make one’s hair stand. It landed at a space in the distance.
BOOM!
Rocks were pulverized, and the ground shook a little. A cloud of dust and smoke rose in the air. The energy waves of the explosion spread throughout its surrounding.
“Terrifying! The amount of destructive power from Phantom Dancer is just way too terrifying!”
“If it hit someone, it will smash the person into smithereens on the spot.”
“No wonder it is a Sky-grade god weapon!”
Many spectators commented as they stared and gasped at Phantom Dancer that Ghost held in her hand.
Lu De looked pleased. With a big smile, he declared, “Little One, it seems like you have a bond with Phantom Dancer. Phantom Dancer shall be yours from this moment on.”
“That is great! Thank you so much, Grandpa White-Beard!” Ghost responded with delight.
Ghost did not wish to put Phantom Dancer down. She threw her little red umbrella over to Duck Emperor. “Duck Emperor, please keep my umbrella for me,” she said.
Though she had gained Phantom Dancer as a replacement for the little red umbrella, Ghost could not bear to throw it away. Her mother had given the little red umbrella to her, and it held far too many memories for her. So, she had to make sure she kept the umbrella safe no matter what.
Duck Emperor reacted swiftly. He caught the umbrella and kept it in the space ring. Everyone had their attention fixed on Phantom Dancer, so they did not notice that the little red umbrella had vanished from sight.
Amid all the chatter, a skinny middle-aged man pointed at the Phantom Dancer and asked in a challenging tone, “Mr. Lu De, I have yet to give the Phantom Dancer a try. Why did you give it to the young woman just like that?”
Chen Feng quickly voiced out his agreement as well and added, “That’s right. There are so many people here who have yet to try it. And yet, Mr. Lu De handed the Phantom Dancer to a young girl. Is it not a bit too unfair?”
He was trying to appeal. Only by appealing would he stand a chance to get a Sky-grade god weapon. Otherwise, he would have come all the way there, only to collect five Yellow-grade god weapons. It would not be to his satisfaction!
Stirring a thousand waves with one stone was the strategy Chen Feng used to rile up the crowd. Many raised their fists high, shouting in protest.
“Be quiet!”
The bad-tempered Elder from the Dwarf Clan shouted out at the protesting crowd. A powerful force instantly emanated from his body like a howling tornado, and he shocked everyone. He used his thundering voice and bellowed, “This is the God Weapon Conference organized by our Dwarf Clan. We have every right to decide however we wish. Since when did we need your approval on which candidates should receive our god weapons?
Such aggression gave no room for further discussion. All those who protested could do nothing except to put up with it.
The man, who had started the ruckus with the question, kept silent. He might be a Martial Emperor, but all the Elders from the Dwarf Clan sitting up on the stage were Martial Emperors as well. The bad-tempered Dwarf Elder might have even reached the peak of a Martial Emperor. There was also the constantly chuckling Mr. Lu De. Rumor was that he had reached a cultivation level of a Martial Guru. Who would still have the guts to oppose the Dwarves?
Lu De waved his hand, signaling for the bad-tempered Dwarf Elder to calm down. Then, with a smile, he said, “Phantom Dancer’s biggest strength is shattering space. Since everyone has doubts, then I will let this Little One try. Let us see if she can blast a hole in the sky.”
The Phantom Dancer could shatter space?
Blast a hole in the sky?
Everyone there gasped and wondered if the Sky-grade god weapon was that powerful.
Lu De turned around to look at Ghost, and said, “Girl, try to fire an energy cannonball into the sky. Remember, pour all the energy you have in your body into Phantom Dancer. Only by doing that can you bring out its full power.”
Ghost nodded her head obediently and said, “Alright, Grandpa White-Beard.”
Since Lu De had given her Phantom Dancer, a powerful defensive god weapon, which could also double up as an umbrella, her impression of him had changed for the better. She did whatever Lu De told her to do.
Pointing Phantom Dance upward, she injected an immense amount of Spirit Force, flowing her body through her arm and to the tip of her hand. The Spirit Force gushed from her hand into Phantom Dancer. It slowly glowed a brilliant purple hue with black lightning flashing around it. Phantom Dancer emitted crackling sounds, like electric sparks.
Tiny stones on the ground floated up into the air as if they were in an electrostatic field, and the beards of the Elders from the Dwarf Clan floated upward as well.
Everyone’s eyes were burning with envy and shock. They were aware of the powerful force of a Sky-grade god weapon. With the potent force that it was generating, it could probably blast a hole in the sky.
In the next second, Ghost stopped her Spirit Force and a purple beam of light shot out from the tip of Phantom Dancer. It was a smoldering purple flame about half a meter thick shooting straight into the sky. The purple light was dazzling and enveloped the entire Tarawa City in a purple hue.
A loud thundering boom came from the sky. The people below covered their ears as the rumbling sound pierced their eardrums and caused a buzzing sound in their heads.
There was a powerful wave of pressure in the air. Most people at the plaza, except those with a high cultivation level, got knocked down to the ground. The purple light continued to cloak the city in a warm purple shade as if the world was about to end.
After a couple of breaths, the energy storm gradually eased off, and the purple glow slowly disappeared. Eventually, everything slowly returned to normal.
Up in the distant sky, an enormous black crack suddenly appeared, looming like a bottomless abyss in the sky.
“My God, she blasted a hole in the sky!”
All of them stared at the enormous hole in shock and could not believe what they were seeing. It was way too scary. When people in ancient times had said that they could pierce the sky, they were not lying.
“Phantom Dancer… what a fantastic god weapon. Now that our young Ghost has this weapon, her fighting capability will increase by many folds. Gah gah…” Duck Emperor said as he gasped with shock.
Xiao Luo stared blankly at the black void in the sky and a sly smile slowly formed in the corner of his lips.
