Chapter 1515: Primordial Natural Weapon Chapter 1515: Primordial Natural Weapon Cainâs disappointment vanished the instant he heard the news of a mysterious weapon.
A weapon once used by a Peak Prima Deity on the verge of the ArchDeity Rank had to be immensely powerful-enough, perhaps, to tip the balance of his current predicament.
Yet, in the next breath, confusion colored his features.
âI examined your corpse thoroughly,â Cain remarked, his gaze turning skeptical.
âBut I never found any spatial storage item on it.
Iâm sure I would have noticed if it was there.â The Sky Sovereignâs phantom form only gave a small, knowing smile and slowly shook his head.
âMy storage dimension isnât actually on my body, but in,â he replied, leaving the rest of his explanation cryptic.
Without further ado, the ancient phantom waved his left hand, tracing a strange, golden rune in midair.
Dozens of complex lines and whorls swirled around the runeâs center, radiating a faint cosmic power.
When the rune was complete, it hovered in the air like a small, pulsating disk of golden light.
âPlace this against my chest.
Youâll see soon enough,â the Sky Sovereign instructed.
Cain studied the intricate rune for a moment, committing every spiral and angle to memory.
His caution warred with curiosity; he didnât trust the Sky Sovereign completely.
Still, with a measured breath, Cain extended his will.
He drew the golden rune out of the Soul Dimension and into the physical world, manifesting it in his hand before moving to the corpse.
Standing beside the Sky Sovereignâs colossal corpse-still encased in multiple layers of compressed earth to contain its lethal radiation-Cain carefully pressed the glowing rune to the center of the dead giantâs chest.
At first, nothing happened, and a flicker of doubt crossed Cainâs mind.
Then, in the span of a heartbeat, a spatial rift yawned open.
It hung in the air like a portal leading to an entire alternate cosmos.
Cainâs eyes widened in amazement.
This hidden realm extended far beyond the scale of his own Inner World.
Yet despite its immense size, there was only one object floating within that vast expanse.
âA halberdâŠâ he murmured, though calling it merely a âhalberdâ hardly did it justice.
The weapon was the size of a continent and appeared to be crafted from the core of a dying star, exuding an aura of celestial grandeur.
Its shaft, forged from obsidian-like cosmic metal, was inscribed with glowing runes that pulsed and sparked, each symbol etched in a language older than recorded history.
Jagged spikes and ornamental engravings adorned the lower portion, culminating in a spear-like tip that shimmered with concentrated solar energy.
At the halberdâs upper half, the bladeâs design formed what looked like a partial eclipse-its circular arc resembling a fragmented sun, with flares of molten metal arcing outward like solar prominences.
At the weaponâs core, an overwhelming solar aura erupted in pulses, flooding the entire pocket dimension with intense golden light.
The edges of the halberdâs blade were decorated with glowing blue inscriptions, evoking the raw essence of cosmic fire.
One glance at its radiant surface told Cain that this halberd was steeped in an apocalyptic might-divine yet terrifying.
Swirls of embers and streaks of starlight trailed around it, forming an interstellar backdrop that only enhanced its simultaneously divine and cataclysmic presence.
A jolt of adrenaline coursed through Cainâs veins, compelling him to reach out and seize the halberd.
He had never laid eyes on a weapon of such grandeur and raw might.
Even so, reason tempered his impulses.
He was keenly aware that, in the cultivation world, such powerful artifacts often carried hidden dangers.
Whether it was a sentient weapon, a concealed curse, or an ancient formation, a single misstep could prove fatal.
His phantom avatar within the Soul Dimension turned sharply to the Sky Sovereign, suspicion evident in Cainâs gaze.
The ancient being chuckled softly, noticing Cainâs vigilance.
âMy spirit brand faded ages ago,â the Sky Sovereign said, as if reading Cainâs thoughts.
âThereâs nothing left in that halberd that would prevent you from taking it-or anything that would try to possess you.â Cain gave a slight nod in response, though he did not relax completely.
The halberdâs aura alone could overwhelm lesser cultivators, but Cainâs soul and willpower had been honed in countless life-and-death struggles.
Seeing no immediate sign of treachery, Cain turned his attention back to the gateway and the weapon hovering in cosmic splendor.
âSo it truly is free for me to claim?â he asked, still a hint of disbelief in his voice.
At that, the Sky Sovereignâs eyes flickered with nostalgia.
A faint smile tugged at his lips as he regarded the halberd from afar.
âYes.
That weapon is a Primordial Natural Weapon-an inheritance formed from the primal energies that predate the known universe.
Itâs alive in the sense that it has a spirit or guiding wisdom, but it doesnât possess true self-awareness like a living being.
It wonât fight you for control.â Cain arched an eyebrow.
He had seen many high-grade treasures in his time, but to think that some could hail from the earliest epochs of existence was staggering.
âAre you sure you want to hand over something so precious?â he pressed, still uncertain.
The Sky Sovereign only shrugged.
âWe share the same fate at this point,â he replied flatly.
âIf you die, I die, so I might as well do everything possible to keep you alive.
Frankly, I donât rate your odds all that highly, but Iâll place my bets on you nonetheless.â After a brief hesitation, Cain gave a resolute nod.
He extended his hand in the physical world, willing the halberd to shrink to a manageable size-one suited for a humanoid warrior.
The weapon obediently complied, its cosmic echoes dissipating until it hovered just inches away from his grasp.
The moment Cainâs fingers curled around the halberdâs shaft, an intense wave of energy surged into him.
A searing heat burned through every meridian as if molten lava were coursing through his bloodstream.
Cain bit down on the inside of his cheek, refusing to yield.
Gradually, the burning sensation receded, replaced by a vast, invigorating power that seemed to flood his cells with new life.
This halberdâs energy resonated seamlessly with the Fire Star Power that fueled Cainâs cultivation.
Even more surprisingly, it harmonized with his Inner World, specifically with the Law of Fire he had embedded there.
The synergy between the halberdâs cosmic energy and Cainâs own Star Power was reminiscent of the phenomenon that produced his Fallen Aura-an advanced fusion of Astral Origin and Essence Origin.
Eyes widening, Cain pushed his Ego Wave into the halberd, branding it as its new master.
In an instant, a brilliant, star-like figure materialized in his mind.
