Chapter 786 - Blood Imbibing
“This is…”
The Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art was an earth-grade cultivation technique. Following the flow of the technique could generate Six Extremes True Qi, which could then be used to foster Divine Armaments.
However, Fang Yuan did not know that reversing the flow of the Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art could result in an effect similar to enlightenment.
His body was now devouring the incoming True Qi from Nangong Wentian.
A sound like the roar of a dragon was heard in his dantian.
The black rune struggled and trembled, but it was sealed by the origin power restriction.
Is… this the last stroke to be completed?
Fang Yuan released the origin power restriction. Suddenly, the black rune absorbed Nangong Wentian’s Six Extremes True Qi like a whale sucking water, and the rune was immediately completed.
The black rune in the stats window was complete as well. It looked like a small crimson saber, emanating a mysterious spiritual will.
“Demonic Armament—Blood Imbibing Saber!”
He read out the name softly.
Rumble!
The armament seemed to understand his thoughts. The ground of the Divine Armament Mountain Villa cracked, a large number of rocks crashed down, and blood splashed up.
A crimson, one-and-a-half meter long armament flew through the splashed blood and reached Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan received it steadily.
The dark saber seemed to be devouring the light around it, and the ancient pattern on the blade looked like human blood vessels and hot streams of flowing lava.
In the Ancient Era, an extraterrestrial demon had invaded the world and wreaked havoc. The Celestial Thearch Sword owner killed it, slashing it into pieces. The armament artisan, Ou Zhizi, extracted its bones and blood to mix with precious minerals. He smelted the materials using heavenly lightning and earth fire for 49 years to forge the demonic saber named ‘Blood Imbibing’. On the same day, he went insane and killed his entire family with the saber before committing suicide! Fang Yuan recalled a section of the Lie family comments on Demonic Armaments. There’s truly a legendary armament in the Divine Armament Mountain Villa, although it’s a Demonic Armament!
The saber weighed more than 150 kilograms, too heavy for most martial artists. But Fang Yuan held it up easily. He felt that the saber was naturally connected to him, and his Six Extremes True Qi became excited.
After all, this saber had been devouring the essence in his body for more than ten years! It could absolutely recognize him!
“Haha! How can the advent of a Demonic Armament not be accompanied by a blood sacrifice?!” Nangong Wentian stepped forward. “Kill! Kill me, and kill everyone present to feed the Blood Imbibing Saber with their blood! From now on, there will be another legend of an invincible Demonic Armament in the Pugilistic World!”
Although Fang Yuan left some cultivation power to him deliberately, he had lost ninety percent of it. Right now, his capability was below a martial artist in the three medium grades, but his eyes were lit up with zeal.
Even if Wuwang takes all my cultivation power, I’m afraid that he still won’t break through the siege of the Demon Sect. Fortunately, the Blood Imbibing Saber has the peculiar ability of devouring essence and blood to strengthen its owner. As soon as I become the Saber Spirit and absorb the essence and blood of all martial artists here, he’ll reach first-grade and even advance to Heavenly Phenomenon. He can then conquer the world! That’s all I can do for him!
He was not in the least worried about whether Nangong Wuwang could be ruthless enough to kill him.
After all, the Blood Imbibing Saber was a Demonic Armament. Even the armament master, Ou Zhizi, had been manipulated by demonic thoughts after forging it and slaughtered his own family, only to redeem himself after regaining consciousness by committing suicide.
It was impossible for a wastrel like Nangong Wuwang to be immune to it.
But he would recover after the Blood Imbibing Saber was satisfied with the blood sacrifice and gained a Saber Spirit.
By that time, the die will have been cast. I hope he won’t blame me!
I’m not a cold-hearted person after all. Nevertheless, my son will conquer the Pugilistic World, and I’m content with that!
Since I can’t kill my son to accomplish my goal, I’ll sacrifice myself and let my son accomplish it. That’s my realization in the Demon Dao!
Nangong Wentian struck his chest toward the tip of the blade, looking prepared to sacrifice himself.
Smack!
But the next moment, the Blood Imbibing Saber turned aside and swatted Nangong Wentian, pressing him on the ground. “Old Man, do you wanna die?” Fang Yuan shook his head. “Have you asked for my opinion?”
“Eh?” Nangong Wentian was stunned. “Impossible!”
“Impossible!”
The two from the Demon Sect, the Amorphous Dao person and the man in gray, were even more shocked. “The Blood Imbibing Saber inevitably controls its owners and makes them kill everyone in their sights. Why is he still conscious? Could the saber still be incomplete?”
“I see. No wonder it’s called the Blood Imbibing Saber!”
Fang Yuan looked at his palm.
Red strings extended from the saber handle and climbed onto his forearm like blood vessels.
A desire to imbibe blood was frantically attacking his mind, urging him to slaughter everyone for blood.
If he were still that wastrel, or even a martial artist in the top three grades, he would have lost his mind and began a massacre.
However, it would be laughable if the saber could influence Fang Yuan.
“Six Extremes Armament Commandeering allows someone to commandeer the armament instead of the other way round! How could I possibly be influenced by a mere lifeless object with a bit of a Demon God’s remnant?” Fang Yuan sneered, a purple color emerging from his wrist and dying his blood vessels.
Furthermore, the saber was also corrupted by the purple color.
All of his regenerated origin power that the Blood Imbibing Saber had devoured this month started to corrupt the saber from the inside.
Furthermore, there was no longer a leakage in his dantian after the rune was completed, and he could use origin power as well.
The purple color immediately engulfed the Blood Imbibing Saber from both sides and purified it.
The roar of a demon was heard in the saber before it quickly returned silent.
A peculiar dharmic formulation entered Fang Yuan’s sea of consciousness.
The Great Sanguine Demon Technique!
*So when a truly legendary Divine Armament or Demonic Armament fully accepts its owner, it would present the corresponding secret manual? Is this really a heaven-grade cultivation technique? *
*However, this cultivation technique seems somewhat secretive and sinister, but so does this Demonic Armament! *
The Great Sanguine Demon Technique and the Blood Imbibing Saber were surely a perfect combination that could maximize the armament’s power. The owner could even replenish essence and heal injuries by imbibing blood and practicing the technique, thus gaining incomparable endurance in a prolonged battle!
But Fang Yuan detected something abnormal in the Blood Imbibing Saber. He did not practice the new technique at all, instead injecting his own Six Extremes True Qi into the saber.
Crack!
He had already finished cultivating the Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art, and the reason why he was stuck in the first realm was the lack of a suitable armament.
The Blood Imbibing Saber had been refined using his essence, so it was already like a part of his body. He did not need to do any more procedures before naturally commandeering the saber.
Since the saber had been fostered for more than ten years, it allowed him to skip the second realm and directly reach the third realm of Divine Armament Feedback!
Crack!
Traces of blood-red Saber Qi was absorbed into Fang Yuan’s body, mixed with the Six Extremes True Qi, and broke through the barriers.
Smack!
The barrier for third-grade martial artist was readily broken by the sharp Saber Qi like a piece of paper.
The Saber Qi then crashed through the many acupoints related to the second grade.
Splash!
The blood-red True Qi thumped onto the Heaven Gate for first-grade, tearing open numerous cracks.
The cracks spread and the gate was broken after the second surge of the True Qi.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Yuan had broken through three barriers, directly advancing to first-grade grandmaster, which was the ultimate realm of the Martial Dao in this mortal world!
After the first-grade, all the acupoints in his body were opened up, as if he had explored a new world.
The blood-colored True Qi advanced incessantly, trying to push his ability up to an unpredictable peak.
Schwing!
A bizarre metallic sound was heard outside the Divine Armament Mountain Villa.
Grudge!
All the martial artists hearing this sound were suddenly overwhelmed by hatred.
Hate the heavens for being unjust! Hate the earth for being unfair! Hate the man for causing suffering!
Apparently, this was the old monster secretly sent here by the Demon Sect. He was also frightened by Fang Yuan’s progress and decided to immediately interrupt Fang Yuan.
“You’re courting death!” Fang Yuan did not hesitate and slashed at him!
Zap! Zap!
Invincible Saber Qi swept across the air, killing anyone in its path.
The man in gray was the first victim. His organs were cracked, and his back crashed through numerous walls as he retreated.
The Amorphous Dao assassin beside him was slightly weaker. Together with other unfortunate guests and subordinates, she was slashed into pieces by the Saber Qi and died miserably.
Thump!
When the Saber Qi was dissipated, the man in gray had retreated to the gates of the Divine Armament Mountain Villa.
Looking at the furrows caused by the Saber Qi in the ground, he murmured to himself, “So fast! So sinister!”
Poof! Poof!
Just as he finished speaking, he was split into pieces. The large amount of blood seemed to be alive, flowing together into a blood pool in front of Fang Yuan.
Purplish-red patterns meandered along the Blood Imbibing Saber like tentacles, devouring the blood greedily.
Once wielded, this saber had to imbibe human blood!
“This saber…”
Fang Yuan was astonished as well. This behavior made it seem alive.
At the same time, he could even sense a hot current from the saber handle, strengthening his body and improving his cultivation power.
“Such an ability guarantees victory in a prolonged battle! It’s totally suited for slaughtering low-level existences, and I’m going to call it the Blood Sucking Saber.”
The worst thing for martial artists in the Pugilistic World was the depletion of cultivation power and strength. Even a first-grade expert would be afraid of getting besieged by an army.
But things were different with the Blood Imbibing Saber.
It enabled the martial artist to become stronger as they fought, which would be a nightmare for a normal army.
“But to me, that’d be a waste!”
The youth shook his head, waiting for the saber to imbibe every drop of blood on the ground.
This demonic scene petrified his three sisters. Even Nangong Fu stared at Fang Yuan blankly, as if she no longer recognized her brother.
“You dare!” Outside the Divine Armament Mountain Villa, a hoarse roar was heard. An elderly man appeared in a flash and stood where the man in gray had been.
He was tall and strong, wearing a robe made of python’s skin and a golden crown, giving off a wealthy air. A black iron hook was seen in his hand.
Demonic Armament—Prolonged Grievance Hook!
Fearing that Fang Yuan might be disadvantaged, Nangong Wentian immediately reminded him, “Wuwang, this man is an armament-wielding elder of the Demon Sect—Heaven Grudge Marquis. His Prolonged Grievance Hook ranks ninth among all Demonic Armaments! And he’s been in the first-grade since twenty years ago!!”
