There was neither hatred nor fury in the old man when he related all these. He spoke in a calm and tranquil voice, and his disposition was cheerful as if he was narrating something trivial and unimportant.
His state of mind moved Meng Lei emotionally.
Despite being killed by someone, he was still able to stay so calm and tranquil. What an unbeatable state of mind he possessed!
Of course, he didn’t eliminate the possibility that Ol’ Amos was lying and deceiving him, either.
With regard to that, Meng Lei had no way of telling. He could only go along with the old man and ask, “So, you don’t know who had killed you, either?”
“That’s right!”
Ol’ Amos nodded slightly, somewhat frustrated. “Being sealed in this black spear and unable to see the light of day, and becoming something neither human nor ghost, this old man has resented, hated, and had become aggrieved before...
“But after such a long time, everything has already been worn away. It’s just that I was killed so absurdly, yet I don’t even know who my foe was. This old man is certainly more or less rather frustrated!”
“Anyone would be frustrated.” Meng Lei shook his head and went on. “But the owner of this spear could kill even you, so their battle capabilities must have reached unfathomable depths. Perhaps not knowing who they are might be something positive instead!”
“I’ve also considered that.” Ol’ Amos smiled and said, “The material that this spear is made out of isn’t something that can be found in Heaven’s Vault Continent. The magic circle engraved on it also contains endless profoundness and has surpassed the Saint Domain stage.
“Thus, my bold conjecture is that this black spear’s owner must be a terrifying existence far above the Saint Domain level for sure. I can only count myself unlucky to be killed by him.”
“In that case... This spear is a treasure?”
“It’s far more than just a treasure. This is a divine weapon!”

“A divine weapon? Is it that impressive?” Meng Lei exclaimed.
“Impressive?” Ol’ Amos was a little taken aback. He said, “A divine weapon is a weapon that only the deities high up above can use. It has incomparable might and divine power that reaches all the way to the heavens and is capable of destroying heaven and earth!
“Back then, I’d already achieved great mastery for my Fire Dragon body, and my physical body didn’t lose out to a pure-blooded Fire Dragon King in the slightest. I was only a step short of breaking through to the Dragon King realm.
“Even so, I was still killed by this spear that had come flying out of nowhere anyway. You can imagine just how sharp this spear is!”
Ol’ Amos sighed softly. “To slay a Saint Domain at their pinnacle as if they’re just slaughtering livestock, even if we survey the entire Heaven’s Vault Continent, only divine weapons are capable of possessing such might. Therefore, I named it the Gods-Slaying Spear.”
“So, it really is a divine weapon!”
Meng Lei stroked the black spear, excitement flashing across his eyes. Right after that, however, he became frustrated again. “So what even if it’s a divine weapon? I can’t use it anyway!”
Ol’ Amos stroked his beard and smiled. “Divine weapons are sentient, so you can’t use it when it hasn’t acknowledged your capabilities, of course! Try dripping a drop of blood on it and see if you can subdue it.”
“Dripping blood to claim ownership?”
Meng Lei looked at the old man. “This thing shouldn’t already belong to someone, right? What if it already has a master? I don’t want to die in my prime!”
“No, it doesn’t!”
Ol’ Amos shook his head with a smile. “If it had a master, it wouldn’t have been abandoned here for over 20,000 years. My guess is that its master has either already died or abandoned it.
“No matter what it is, you can rest assured and give it a go. Even if you fail to claim it as yours, there won’t be any negative consequences!”
“Is that so?!”
Meng Lei was dubious. He didn’t really believe the old man’s words that much. However, the divine weapon was simply too tempting and irresistible!
“If I die, the worst that can happen is that I’ll just lose my life. But if I survive, I’ll gain eternal repute! Riches are gained from danger! Let’s go all out!”
Meng Lei gritted his teeth and squeezed out a drop of blood.
Bzzz!
The blood dripped onto the black spear’s surface and was absorbed into the spear-like water that had dripped onto a sponge. As that happened, the black spear also suddenly began to shake.
Crackle, crackle!
A dazzling purple electric current surged out of the spear and shot toward Meng Lei. Before he could duck, the purple electric current had already engulfed him!
Crackle, crackle!
As if he had been struck by lightning, Meng Lei’s hair instantly frizzed up, and violent spasms began to go through him as though he had consumed five kilograms of Ecstasy pills.
“This... Why is this happening?!”
The old man’s countenance changed drastically. “I’d clearly sensed that the spiritual mark that the Gods-Slaying Spear’s master had left inside the spear had already dissipated 14,000 years ago. This shows that the spear had already become a masterless artifact a long time ago, so why is this happening?”
A divine weapon’s master was definitely a deity for sure!
There was no doubt about that!
Something that belonged to a deity...
How would a mere mortal... even dare to covet it?
If he hadn’t sensed that the spiritual mark in the Gods-Slaying Spear had already dissipated a long time ago, Ol’ Amos wouldn’t have dared to allow Meng Lei to attempt subduing the divine weapon at all.
If its master found out by any chance, not only
