The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 238: [System’s Overpowered Divine Artifact] Fifth Update

A chilling voice emerged from Li Dongxu’s mouth, as a scepter exuding bizarre and sinister aura appeared in his hand. He stared at Ye Xiaoyao and said, "The scepter in my hand is called Senluo Hell, and it can send your so-called Five Dragons of Huaxia into hell in an instant. Today, I will use it against you, which is quite an honor for you."

"Go!"

Li Dongxu pointed the scepter, and spectral patterns suddenly emerged, invading Ye Qingtian.

"Is this supposed to be Senluo Hell?"

Ye Qingtian shook his head slightly, extended his right hand, and punched towards those spectral patterns.

"Bang!"

The fist hit those patterns accurately, and the patterns retreated visibly.

In an instant, they reverted into the scepter.

"How is this possible?"

Li Dongxu was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scepter in his hand.

This was his most powerful weapon, and in the Dark World, he had encountered many strong adversaries, many of whom were equal to the Five Dragons of Huaxia.

Once, a formidable opponent comparable to the Five Dragons tried to seize his treasure and attacked him, but Li Dongxu easily killed them with Senluo Hell.

But today, what is happening?

How did his Senluo Hell’s attack get bounced back by Ye Xiaoyao? This had never happened before.

"Crack!"

Before he could accept the failure of his Senluo Hell, a shattering sound reached his ears.

He looked down to find the scepter in his hand slowly cracking.

"What’s happening?"

Already stunned, Li Dongxu was completely unresponsive, unable to understand the situation.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the scepter in his hand suddenly exploded.

"Ah!"

Li Dongxu screamed in agony as the explosion shredded the flesh of his right hand.

He almost fainted from the pain.

"Wasn’t this guy defeated just like that? Ye Xiaoyao barely seemed to move, how did Li Dongxu lose so quickly?"

"This teaches us a lesson: don’t challenge others if you lack the strength, or the defeat will be ugly."

"That’s right, being arrogant without ability is unwise, or you’ll end up like Li Dongxu. Look at his painful expression, it’s truly tragic."

Those around continued to discuss, their words making Li Dongxu even more uncomfortable, coupled with the intense pain from his arm, tears began to flow.

"With such little ability, you actually dare challenge the Peak of China, Ye Xiaoyao?" Jin Chuhan spoke disdainfully, "This is truly not knowing one’s own limits."

Hua Qingfei’s face also showed disgust, glancing at her Hua Family members, the meaning clear in her eyes: Is this the man you want me to marry?

This made the Hua Family who accompanied Li Dongxu feel very awkward. Initially, they didn’t see Li Dongxu as a match for the Peak of China, Ye Xiaoyao, but never imagined he would lose so miserably.

Many inwardly cursed Li Dongxu, for daring to challenge Ye Xiaoyao without any real strength, was he courting death?

"I will not fail, I absolutely cannot fail, no way!"

On the other side, Li Dongxu became extremely frantic, shouting at the system, "Quickly, I need to exchange for that treasure at all costs!"

"With your current possessions, you can’t exchange for that item unless you use your soul." The system responded.

"Then use my soul, hurry, quickly."

Li Dongxu shouted resolutely.

Having never lost since acquiring the system, Li Dongxu couldn’t accept today’s defeat. He was ready to pay any price to eliminate Ye Xiaoyao.

Even sacrificing his soul didn’t matter.

"Fine, I’ll make the exchange."

The system listened to Li Dongxu and immediately began the exchange.

Soon, Li Dongxu felt something floating away from his body, as if he lost something, but his attention was quickly drawn elsewhere.

In his hand, there was now a blood-red spear.

"World-Ending Divine Spear, I’ve finally exchanged for you."

Li Dongxu stared at the spear in his hand, his voice trembling.

Though this trembling was due to excitement.

With its overwhelming power, a casual strike could match the power of a missile, and once unleashed fully, its force would only be second to nuclear weapons possessed by major nations on Earth.

Possessing the World-Ending Divine Spear meant he essentially held a lower-tier nuclear weapon, granting him the ability to engage in dialogue with small nations.

Thus, Li Dongxu had longed for the spear, but had been unable to exchange for it before.

Now, he had done it, even though it cost him his soul.

But it didn’t matter, as long as he possessed the spear, any price was worth it.

"Now..."

He glared at Ye Xiaoyao, coldly smiling, "Today, let’s make you and the Du Family offer sacrifices to celebrate the emergence of this ultimate weapon!"

"Go!"

Li Dongxu clasped the World-Ending Divine Spear and threw it violently towards Ye Xiaoyao.

"Boom!"

The spear cut through the void, creating thunderous sounds.

The sound changed the faces of the gathered elite families, as they sensed a threat of death emanating from the spear.

This threat seemed not to target just Ye Xiaoyao but everyone present, except Li Dongxu.

In other words, if Ye Xiaoyao couldn’t stop the spear, everyone here might perish.

And they felt the attack range was vast, making escape impossible now.

"Insane, insane."

The people from the Hua Family were regretful, having realized that Li Dongxu was a madman, regretting any dealings with him, let alone marrying Hua Qingfei to him.

Things were dire now, if Ye Qingtian couldn’t stop this World-Ending Divine Spear, they’d all be doomed.

"But fortunately, Ye Qingtian held his ground against the Five Dragons of Huaxia, surely he can stop the spear."

Thinking this brought them some comfort.

As for Li Dongxu, there was only madness on his face.

"Petty trick."

Ye Qingtian shook his head at the so-called World-Ending Divine Spear.

"Arrogant words from one about to die!"

Li Dongxu laughed viciously.

"Is that so?"

Ye Qingtian glanced at Li Dongxu and suddenly extended his hand. A forceful suction appeared, accelerating the spear towards him.

"Why is the spear suddenly accelerating? Could it be that Ye Xiaoyao can’t stop it?"

"No way, this is Ye Xiaoyao, how could he not stop it?"

Among those watching, some were desperate, others held absolute faith in Ye Qingtian.

"Die!" Li Dongxu sneered malevolently.

Yet, at that moment, the World-Ending Divine Spear halted abruptly, drawn by Ye Qingtian’s force into his hand.

The originally engulfing divine power vanished without a trace.

"Impossible!!!"

Li Dongxu’s eyes nearly popped out, disbelief evident in his expression.
