Chapter 2291: Chapter 2290: The Artifact Spirit of the Thunder Hammer

The Thunder Hammer saw Lin Dong dodge and became even more anxious.

As a fourth-order spiritual artifact, although it has developed an artifact spirit and possesses a certain level of intelligence, its intelligence is clearly not as high as Lin Dong’s.

Its current intelligence is roughly equivalent to the intelligence of a human child.

A child’s emotions are very unstable.

Seeing that it could do nothing to Lin Dong multiple times, it naturally became anxious and angry.

At the moment, it displayed various Thunder Hammer Techniques.

”Thunder Cloak Hammer!”

This is a Thunder Hammer Technique comparable to the ancient martial level, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it were executed by a powerful martial artist.

But this is just a spiritual artifact.

Once it had an artifact spirit, the spirit could manipulate it, delivering a thunder technique strike at the ancient martial level.

Combined with the power of thunder from this Sea of Thunder Formation, it could completely threaten the life of a Heavenly Realm martial artist.

A First Heaven martial artist would be killed instantly if struck by this hammer!

However, wanting to kill Lin Dong with it is clearly not possible!

”Thunder Flash!” Lin Dong executed Thunder Flash again, transforming into a point of lightning, vanishing from the original location.

The Thunder Hammer missed again.

Although it seemed like the Thunder Hammer couldn’t hit Lin Dong and was at a disadvantage, the Sovereign Witch still reminded him at this moment.

”Lin Dong, don’t keep playing with it, remember, this is only the third formation of the Seven Extremities Array. There are still four formations waiting for you.”

Lin Dong naturally understood this truth, although the Thunder Hammer couldn’t hit him now, couldn’t hurt him.

But if he kept dragging it out with it, continuously using ’Thunder Flash’, it would also be a massive drain for Lin Dong.

If this continued, how would he deal with the remaining four formations in the Seven Extremities Array?

Lin Dong also wanted to break this formation quickly, but just now when he used ’Thunder Flash’, the Thunder Strike hit the Thunder Hammer and still didn’t break it.

A fourth-order spiritual artifact’s robustness is equivalent to the strength of a Fourth Heaven Heavenly Realm martial artist. Breaking the defense of that fourth-order artifact is still quite difficult for Lin Dong now.

”You should lure out its artifact spirit, then suppress it with your mental power and wear down its artifact spirit somewhat.”

”When its artifact spirit is weak, let the Yangxin Sword devour it!”

The Sovereign Witch gave Lin Dong sword intent.

She’s an existence from ancient times, having cultivated to the Nine Heavens in her lifetime. With vast experience, she knows how to deal with this fourth-order spiritual artifact.

Upon hearing her words, Lin Dong’s eyes lit up, and a strategy formed in his heart!

”To deal with an artifact spirit with only a child’s intelligence, you can directly use the provocation tactic. No need for complex strategies,” Lin Dong thought to himself.

Then, he used words to provoke the hammer.

”You, spirit within the hammer, only dare to hide inside the spiritual artifact, just a bunch of rats!”

Buzz～～～

As soon as Lin Dong said that, the Thunder Hammer’s body trembled, its artifact spirit became even angrier, and blue smoke rose around the hammer from the lightning.

Knowing this provocation tactic worked, Lin Dong continued provoking it.

”You, broken hammer, though you’re a fourth-order spiritual artifact, you’re not as good as my third-order Spirit Sword. My third-order Spirit Sword dares to show its sword to anyone, whereas you, hammer, when facing a human martial artist not even at the Heavenly Realm, your artifact spirit doesn’t even dare to show its face!”

”Are you afraid that I will slay your artifact spirit with one sword?”

Boom!!!

Clearly, the artifact spirit within the hammer was completely enraged by Lin Dong.

A thunder bird formed of lightning appeared inside the Thunder Hammer.

This thunder bird is the artifact spirit within the Thunder Hammer.

Artifact spirits can take many forms, entirely depending on the consciousness’s choice when forming the spirit.

Some artifact spirits choose to take on human forms. If their consciousness chooses a tiger, then their form is a tiger.

This Thunder Hammer, at the time of forming the artifact spirit, chose a bird. Therefore, its current artifact spirit form is the thunder bird before us.

Once the artifact spirit form is chosen, it cannot be changed later.

As the level of the spiritual artifact grows, the artifact spirit will also grow. The form will not change but will grow or evolve.

For example, some snake-shaped artifact spirits, as the spiritual artifact level increases, will grow larger and longer, even evolving into a Jiao Dragon form or even a Dragon form.

The artifact spirit of this Thunder Hammer before Lin Dong is not very powerful. Its thunder bird form is only as big as a chick.

When it appeared, it spat lightning at Lin Dong!

As if saying, ”I’ve come out now, what can you do to me?”

Lin Dong slashed out at it with a sword!

”One Sword Opens the Heavens!”

”Whoosh!”

Facing this sword, the Thunder Hammer’s artifact spirit ’Thunder Bird’ rolled its eyes in a very human-like manner, full of disdain.

The sword slashed through its body, piercing it.

Yet it couldn’t harm it.

The artifact spirit’s form is insubstantial; Martial Way attacks are useless against it. To extinguish an artifact spirit, there are only two methods.

The first is to use powerful mental power to erase its consciousness!

The second is to destroy the spiritual artifact itself with immense power. Without its host, the artifact spirit, naturally, cannot exist!

The second method is obviously not achievable for Lin Dong. Because the hammer is too sturdy, its defense is equivalent to a Fourth Heaven Heavenly Realm martial artist.

Lin Dong’s strongest strike couldn’t even break through a Fourth Heaven Heavenly Realm martial artist’s defense!

It’s naturally impossible for him to break through the Thunder Hammer’s defense!

So he could only go with the first method.

That sword just now was simply a ’decoy’ from Lin Dong.

He slashed out with that sword, knowing it couldn’t hurt it, just to make it feel carefree and careless.

This artifact spirit ’Thunder Bird’s’ intelligence is indeed not high. At this moment, it was extremely complacent, holding its head high, looking at Lin Dong with a face full of arrogance and pride.

As if mocking him, ignorant human, none of your attacks are effective against me.

But just when it was most complacent, Lin Dong threw aside all martial ethics.

Directly launched a surprise attack!

Using mental power to ambush!

”Mental Suppression!”

Lin Dong instantly unleashed a 25th Tier terrifying mental power, transforming it into an invisible mountain, suppressing the artifact spirit ’Thunder Bird’ beneath it.

The thunder bird’s body stiffened, trying to struggle.

However, that terrifying mental power was like Wuzhi Mountain pressing on Sun Wukong. No matter how great Sun Wukong’s divine skills were, he couldn’t escape from Wuzhi Mountain’s suppression!

At this moment, Lin Dong quickly used mental power to extinguish its consciousness!

Under Lin Dong’s obliteration, its consciousness became weaker and weaker.

At this moment, Lin Dong shouted loudly.

”Yangxin Sword, go, devour it!”

”Whoosh～～”

The Yangxin Sword flew out, transforming into a stream of light, charging into the artifact spirit ’Thunder Bird’.

The artifact spirit ’Thunder Bird’ sensed the danger of being devoured and struggled violently.

Even trying to turn back and devour the nascent consciousness that had emerged from the Yangxin Sword.

However, how could Lin Dong let it have its way!

Lin Dong suppressed it with mental power.

Preventing it from causing any uproar!

Although the Yangxin Sword’s consciousness was very weak, it started devouring the artifact spirit ’Thunder Bird’ with just that frail consciousness.
