God Piercing Spear

Robb faced Lu Lengchuan, one of the Four God Children on the Conferred God Stage. Ever since Aerion's and Izanami's emergence, Lu Lengchuan was no longer qualified to be ranked fourth among the Eastern Divine Region's young geniuses. Still, Lu Lengchuan was part of the original Four God Children and so, he was no pushover.

"It looks like I'm not late." Aerion sat down beside Izanami.

"Your previous victory came with a few... difficulties, the girl who you thought hasn't left her room since then. What did you do to her?"

"It's complicated..."

"Complicated? Hmph, whatever happened, you should prepare for a confrontation with the Glazed Light Realm King. "

"I'm not afraid of him." Aerion casually shrugged. "He can meet with me anytime he wants."

"The Conferred Gods Group, first-round, third match… begin!"

"I look forward to this battle!" Lu Lengchuan announced beforehand.

Both combatants use spears as their primary weapons which meant that their skill in the Way of the Spear would be put to the test. Who was better? The peak Divine Tribulation Realm underdog from the Snow Song Realm or someone who was known as one of the Four God Children, Lu Lengchuan, and the Young Master of the prestigious Sky Shrouding Realm.

A difference of one entire greater Divine Realm was not something one could easily cross but Robb was no ordinary being. In terms of battle power, he was above everyone else not named Aerion even when his legacy is incomplete. Once he completed the War God's Legacy, Robb would be able to ascend even further... however doing so wasn't easy. He needed the approval and submission of Naeron, an Ancestral God.

Bang!

Lu Lengchuan's Sky Splitting Spear clashed against Robb's spear which resulted in a great shockwave. Robb's golden eyes had already started to burn and his strength rose to the late stages of the Divine Spirit Realm. However, this wasn't enough to match Lu Lengchuan's overwhelming peak Divine Spirit Realm might. The disparity in their strength was simply too much and this became clear after a few seconds.

BANG.

Robb was sent flying across the Conferred God Stage and almost dropped out of bounds but he willed himself to stay.

This Lengchuan... he did plenty of damage in so little time, currently, I am not his match.

"Bring out your true strength or you will lose this battle."

"That is... easy to understand. Heh, so this is the strength of a God Child, you and my previous opponent are worlds apart. I acted rather arrogantly against him but in this battle, I find myself struggling to survive. Divine Child of the Eastern Divine Region... you truly are worthy of that title..."

"However, My Lord placed slightly higher expectations onto me than losing to you. He gave me the greatest blessing one could wish for while also sparing no effort to increase my strength even further... heh, he gave me so many things that I don't believe I'll ever be able to repay him!"

Robb grabbed his spear, which had fallen out of his hand when he landed and clenched it rather tightly.

"Therefore, I can't fail him by losing to you or anyone else! Even if the sky collapses on top of me... I... will... win... in HIS glorious name!"

BOOM.

Robb's strength exploded once more.

"This golden glow..." Lu Lengchuan smiled. "Good, this is your true strength... now I can fight without any restraints!"

He started to form the Glowing Dragon's Sacred Barrier which could have three layers in total, each layer was more frightening defensively than the last. A complete Glowing Dragon's Sacred Barrier might even mean Robb's certain defeat so he didn't give him the time to even form the first layer.

"Don't be foolish, I won't even spare you a single moment to form that barrier!"

"I see... good, this makes the battle more challenging!"

For quite a few minutes, the two combatants fought on equal grounds. Each strike was met with a block or parry, it was a vicious cycle where neither could gain an advantage.

War God's Art: One True Strike.

Pierce.

"!?"

Robb's eyes flashed as he went past all of Lengchuan's defences and directly pierced him in the chest.

"It's over."

He withdrew the spear and Lu Lengchuan flew down onto the Conferred God Stage. Robb looked down from above but he wasn't certain of his victory yet despite his announcement earlier. This was a God Child so things shouldn't be this simple.

!?

"Good... you have me enough time..."

He managed to form a layer of the Glowing Dragon's Sacred Barrier before Robb could realise it. Lu Lengchuan had hidden it well by acting dead.

How troublesome...

Lu Lengchuan decided to complete the Glowing Dragon's Sacred Barrier instead of confronting Robb with only a single layer. Robb didn't plan to sit by and let him complete the barrier but he didn't quite know how to go past its defences.

"Throwing one's spear... it is something that is both unpredictable and powerful. It is my most lethal profound skill... do you remember it?"

That voice... it's him again.

Robb closed his eyes.

Yes... I remember how it's done!

Robb's golden profound energy surrounded his spear and started to concentrate on the spearhead while Lu Lengchuan finished forming the second layer. The golden profound energy grew increasingly more concentrated while another layer of attack was added to the spear; wind profound energy.

Robb's overflowing killing intent increased with every moment along with his strength, it was rather terrifying.

It's meaningless... even if you add another hundred layers... I will still shatter your trash barrier into a thousand pieces!

"It's done... the third and final layer of the Glowing Dragon's Sacred Barrier."

"BEGONE!"

GOD PIERCING SPEAR!

Crack... BOOOOOM.

Robb's spear exploded towards Lu Lengchuan and destroyed the Golden Dragon's Sacred Barrier almost instantly. Then it went right through Lu Lengchuan and even pierced through the Conferred God Stage, forming an enormous crater where it had landed. Lu Lengchuan laid at the bottom of this crater. His entire chest was an empty hole, that was where the spear had struck him.

Lu Lengchuan did not make a single movement... his eyes were wide open in shock. He was dead.

"I... did... that?" Robb lost unconsciousness from sheer exhaustion and fell into the crater himself.

The Conferred God Stage was dead silent for a long while, it was taking some time for the events which had occurred to fully sink in.

"BASTARD!" Lu Zhou, the Sky Shrouding Realm's Great Realm King roared as he sent a chilling wave of profound energy in the direction of Robb. No one had expected any of this to happen... and so, no one was prepared to stop the attack.

Aerion watched as Robb's body disintegrated into nothing. He stared at Lu Zhou as a truly frightening rage overcame him for a moment. However, he knew his boundaries.

Naeron chuckled above the Conferred God Stage. "All according to my plan, the foolish mortal is finally dead and my place as an Ancestral God will no longer be put to question. The blessing of the God Piercing Spear... it turned out to be a terrible curse, hahahaha."

"How uncivilized, a Great Realm King striking a junior... simply disgraceful!"

"Explain yourself, Lu Zhuo." Honourable Qu Hui glared at the Sky Shrouding Realm's Great Realm King.

"He killed my son... is that not reason enough!?" Lu Zhuo flew down to the crater, ignoring Qu Hui completely, and held his son's body in his arms. "My Lengchuan..."

Izanagi.

Neither of them died.

Suddenly, the hole in Lu Lengchuan's body was filled and he almost jumped out of Lu Zhou's arms. He looked rather energetic for someone who was dead a moment ago. Robb's disintegrated body appeared once more and he opened his eyes in disbelief.

"I thought... I was dead... My Lord... you saved me..."

Aerion wiped the blood from his left eye... although it was a simple action, Aerion always had the attention of the surrounding spectators and so, they noticed this simple gesture. His eyes... the blood, the result and Robb's words. It couldn't all be a coincidence, could it? Aerion had plenty of eyes on him as he jumped onto the Conferred God Stage.

"Robb, you went too far..."

"I... I just lost control of myself... forgive me." He bent his knee and looked down, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Hmph... Sky Shrouding Realm King, if you agree to forget this exchange then so will I. If you don't, then don't expect this King to be merciful to you in the future!" Aerion's crimson red eyes glowed with killing intent.

"Is he crazy!? Threatening the Sky Shrounding Realm's Great Realm King is suicidal for a person of his status!"

"What are you going to do?" Lu Zhuo stood up. "In the future... who's to say that you will live long enough!?"

Has this Lu Zhuo gone mad? His son is in perfect condition while I'm requesting that he forget the events which had occurred... albeit, in a rather furious manner. But that can't be helped.

"Father, please quench your anger... everything is alright now. I'm alive and so is my opponent, it doesn't matter what happened before." Lu Lengchuan stated.

"Yes... I suppose you are right." Lu Zhuo nodded as he flew away from the Conferred God Stage and back to his original position.

"Robb, you deserve victory after that blow. I never thought that you had such a deadly profound skill ready... if I had known, I wouldn't even have formed the barrier in the first place. You are a superior warrior, in the end, despite your lower cultivation strength... I'll be on my way."

"... Lu Lengchuan, I... didn't mean to..."

"The excitement of the battle got to you, that is all." Lu Lengchuan smiled. "We're both safe now, there's no need to bear any grudges."

Qu Hui proceeded onwards, despite the strange circumstances. "Robb is the victor of this battle and will proceed onto the second round of the Conferred Gods Group!"

"Lu Lengchuan will enter the Losers Group."

Robb remained on the floor, crestfallen.

Aerion sighed. "Rise, greater and wiser than before... instead of acting like your soul was dragged out of your body."

"I... need some time alone." Robb stood up and flew away from the Conferred God Stage.

Now Izanagi will become public knowledge... but I'd rather it be this way than Robb no longer existing.

The Dragon Monarch's eyes did not leave Aerion Targaryen, he had seen the entire event unfold and the suspicions he had soon turned into reality. Most spectators had already come to guess who had resurrected the two from the dead.

Justice... Justice is none other than Aerion Targaryen. Those unique eyes are the same, after all. The ability to resurrect the dead... this will certainly cause some troubles for him.
