Novel Full Chapter 794 Bounty
The scythe felt as if it there were no better weapon in existence for him, despite it being so heavy that he was unable to wield it at the moment. As his strength grew, so would his ability to wield the scythe, which would increase that affinity even more. John couldn’t wait for the day that he was able to wield the scythe with absolute mastery, and could only imagine the devastation him and the scythe would be able to unleash together.
His battle with the Asura in the future was a heavy thing constantly weighing on his mind, as he didn’t know how he was supposed to beat and kill such a fearsome creature. His battle with the Darkfiend Demon showcased how it was impossible to jump realms and kill something with a sturdy defense, unless one had a weapon sharp enough to cut through anything.
Based on his body, Asuros’s body, and also the fact that the Darkfiend Demon feared Asuras, it was obvious that the Asura would have a body beyond comparison. John had no idea how he was going to injure such a fearsome opponent, but his confidence rose greatly upon obtaining the scythe.
After marveling at the scythe for quite some time, John stored it in his spatial realm, as the weight and also the death aura was becoming too much to bear in his base state.
“This scythe is no doubt my finest work, so be sure to display its might to the world before long,” Daoist Eternal Weapon said to John, who smirked upon hearing this.
“You don’t have to worry about that. This scythe will eventually take part in a battle that will shake the very foundations of this world, and all the world will see the might of your creation,” John replied confidently.
Daoist Eternal Weapon gave John a curious glance, as he could tell that John was alluding to something he had no idea of. However, he didn’t ask for an explanation, and instead returned John’s smile.
“Good. Then I look forward to that day, and seeing you wield this scythe with unrivaled power.”
“Oh yeah, I forgot to ask, but…how long was I asleep for?” John asked, shifting the subject.
“Seven days,” Daoist Eternal Weapon replied.
“Seven days? It was that long?” John exclaimed in surprise.
“Its not surprising, and in fact I figured you would be unconscious for longer,” Daoist Eternal Weapon replied. “Your body was pushed to the absolute limit, to a level just before collapse, which would normally take months to recover from. Your recovery ability is just as monstrous as the rest of your talents it seems. And then there’s your soul. Unleashing your first successful fusion attack naturally depletes your soul power, so that needed to recover as well.”
“So its like that…then that leaves me just three weeks to get to the Divine Source Monastery,” John grumbled. .
“The Divine Source Monastery? Oh that’s right, you mentioned that during that little tirade of yours,” Daoist Eternal Weapon chimed in. “That journey will normally take you over a month by flying ship.”
“A month? Then I’ll miss the opening of the wall?” John grumbled again.
“Not exactly,” Daoist Eternal Weapon replied as a spatial ring appeared in his hand, and he handed it over to John.
“What’s this?” John asked curiously as he took the ring and inspected its contents. His eyes widened slightly as he saw what was within.
“It’s a flying ship…my flying ship to be exact,” Daoist Eternal Weapon explained. “It’s one of the fastest ships around, so you’ll be able to reach the Divine Source Monastery in about two weeks with this.”
“Are you sure you want to give this to me? Isn’t something like this incredibly expensive?” John asked.
“Haha, money is no issue for me. Afterall, you just gave me eighty billion spirit crystals,” Daoist Eternal Weapon winked at John with a smug smile on his face. “Besides, think of it as another apology for forcing your hand during the test.”
John stared at the man for a short moment before he smiled and nodded his head. His impression of Daoist Eternal Weapon climbed and fell constantly, but at the moment, he found the man to be quite likable.
“In that case, I accept.”
…
Outside the Eternal Weapon Temple, several shrouded figures were stationed all around it, observing each and every exit. At the main entrance, one of the figures suddenly stood up, and took out a transmission disk shortly afterwards.
“He’s come out,” the man sent through the disk before putting it away, and slipped into the shadows out of sight.
…
After obtaining the scythe and ship from Daoist Eternal Weapon, John discussed various other things with the man before parting ways. While he wanted to discuss a variety of things with the man, including body cultivation and Dao fusions, he didn’t have much time to waste with the Divine Wall being opened in several weeks time.
John stepped out of the Eternal Weapon Temple, and breathed in the fresh outdoor air, something he had not experienced for nearly three months of being cooped up in that hot and humid volcanic cavern.
After taking in the deep, refreshing breath, his gaze shifted slightly as he felt a gaze land on him. However, he didn’t spot anyone, as if it had been his imagination, although he knew his instincts were correct.
“Waiting for me this entire time?” John scoffed as he walked out of the grounds of the Eternal Weapon Temple.
‘I need to obtain some beast blood essence before I leave, as I’ve drained quite a bit lately without replenishing. Once I do that, I’ll set out for the Divine Source Monastery, and maybe I’ll get to test out my scythe on whoever is following me. I can’t wait.’
…
For the next half day, John made his way through Five-River Freeport, and eventually arrived in the district controlled by the forbidden faction. Obtaining beast blood essence would be easiest in this district. To avoid further detection, John donned a hood to shroud his face, and stepped into the forbidden faction district.
The atmosphere of the district was far different than the others he had walked through. It was cold, silent, and filled with shifty gazes and sinister auras, much like had experienced within the Bloodfiend Sect.
“Hmm, what’s this?” John suddenly stopped at a large poster board, which had many posters pinned to it. He had stopped because he had noticed a picture of his face on the board, something that he had not been expecting.
His gaze shifted to the top of the board, and he raised one eyebrow as he read the words at the top.
“Bounty Board huh?”
His gaze shifted to the poster regarding him, and he ripped it off the board to inspect. A small smirk appeared on his face as he read the words on the sheet.

“It seems like the rumors have finally spread, huh? Well, things should start to become interesting once again!” John mused as a bloodthirsty and battle hungry expression appeared on his face.
