"Hiss …"
Amidst the faint sound of corrosion, Lu Sheng abruptly retracted his finger. His index finger had completely shriveled up.
His expression darkened. After some thought, he raised his hand again.
From an angle that Grand Elder could not see, his middle finger rapidly changed shape. It enlarged and turned black, and the nail became as sharp as a blade.
This was the Yin Yang Integration Mode. Ever since he started cultivating the secret art, Lu Sheng's control over the minute muscles had become more proficient. He could finally transform his body in a small area and control the changes in his body.
Yin Yang Integration Mode, plus inner Qi combustion!
A vicious glint flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.
If he was going to try, he would try something big. Presently, his strongest state was the combination of Yin Yang and Liquefied Qi. In such a state, his body had long since been able to crush the middle three grades of Snake realm. Although he had yet to witness the upper three grades, Lu Sheng guessed that he was probably at that level.
'I'd like to see how far apart I am from a Weapon Master when I'm at full power.'
He extended his finger again.
"Hiss …"
The immense force in the air turned slowly like a millstone.
Lu Sheng felt as if his finger was being pressed down by a huge weight. A sharp pain surged in his heart. He quickly pulled it out to take a look.
His entire middle finger had been corroded into a shriveled black. Even the liquefied Qi power inside had disappeared in an instant, as if it had mysteriously vanished.
'This …' A chill rose in his heart. Only now did he truly understand the huge difference between a human and a Divine Weapon or a Devil Blade.
'This … doesn't look like a product of cultivation!' Lu Sheng recalled the immense and merciless force just now. That counterattack was more like some sort of coping mechanism, like a small gear on the edge of a huge machine turning slowly.
'Could it be that these so-called Divine Weapons and Devil Blades are actually weapons of war passed down from ancient civilizations?'
Lu Sheng was very confident in his body. He believed that in this era, in this world, there were very, very few who had a body stronger than his, even among the Noble Families and demons.
He was practically one of the best in this world in terms of physical strength. Even at this level, he could not withstand a single blow from a mere Holy Weapon shard.
On the other hand, the power of the Saint Weapon fragment was far inferior to the Saint Weapon itself, and the Saint Weapon itself only had one percent of the power of a Divine Weapon or a Devil Blade.
One could only imagine how terrifying a Weapon Master who wielded a Divine Weapon or a Devil Blade was.
"Can you feel it? The Great Elder said in a low voice from behind. "Families that control this kind of power, or rather, rely on this kind of power, just what kind of height do they stand at? I'm sure you know by now."
"Teacher, is there no way to resist the aristocratic families?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.
"The Divine Weapons and Devil Blades have independent personalities and thoughts. They cannot be controlled. However, this kind of power was absolutely impossible to resist. That's why we're trying to forge our own Divine Weapons and Devil Blades, also known as Holy Weapons. In the end, as you can see, we failed. We only managed to come up with something that looked right but was actually wrong. Although I can barely control it, its power and flexibility are far inferior to theirs. " The First Elder replied helplessly, "You can't imagine the unimaginable price the Hundred Lineages paid in order to create Holy Weapons during that period of history."
"Forge your own Divine Weapon or Devil Blade?" Lu Sheng repeated.
"That's right. This is the only way. Divine Weapons and Devil Blades are the strongest known power. Nothing can resist them. A force that wields this kind of power is undoubtedly the strongest. "The First Elder nodded in affirmation.
This kind of weapon of war … was indeed difficult to resist.
Lu Sheng looked at the little blue pool. He could imagine the hardships and sacrifices the sects had to make in order to forge Holy Weapons.
"What about secret arts?" Lu Sheng suddenly asked. "The strongest person who has reached the highest realm of secret arts, when faced with this kind of power …"
"The master of the Prime Devil Sect's Karmaless Lineage, Grandmaster Cloud Mountain, once did research in this area," the First Elder answered.
"His conclusion is that secret arts move ordinary Origin Energy. Divine Weapons and Devil Blades, on the other hand, represent Source Level Magic Power. It's as laughable as mortals trying to use martial arts to fight against demons and ghosts. Cultivating martial arts to the pinnacle will only make the demons take a few more bites. "
"Ordinary Origin Energy? Source Level Magic Power? What kind of division is this? "Hearing the word" shelter ", Lu Sheng paused for a moment, then continued asking.
"It's just a simple division." The First Elder shook his head. "For example, if we say that we use ordinary fire for cultivation, then Divine Weapons use the True Flames of the Sun. It's a weapon of mass destruction that only exists in myths. That's the difference. "
Lu Sheng nodded, getting the gist of it.
"Ordinary Origin Energy refers to all kinds of power that can be used and cultivated after birth. For example, the inner Qi of mortals and our Devil Qi.
Source Level Magic Power refers to all kinds of power that can't be used, but is extremely powerful and of a much higher quality than ordinary Origin Energy. It's not even on the same level.
Just like the demonic blade, the Three Yang Cauldron, that had once caused a great drought in Yunzhou, it contained an endless amount of Three Yang True Smoke. The power of the head of an aristocratic family was like a small splash in the ocean before it, completely ignored.
That's how many Noble Families in Cloud Province were wiped out. After that, their Divine Weapon Masters appeared and returned, and they joined forces with other external Noble Families to barely suppress the Triple Sun Cauldron.
At that time, the sky was filled with scarlet clouds. Everywhere it went, the earth dried up, and water vapor evaporated. Even a thousand miles of red land is nothing to scoff at, "the First Elder lamented.
"Alright, I've gone too far. After saying so much, I just wanted to tell you that the secret technique refines elemental energy at the normal level. Divine Weapons and Devil Blades are essentially Source Level Magic Power. No matter how strong you train, you will only be strengthening your elemental energy. Elemental energy and magic power are two different things. No matter how much elemental energy you have or how strong your elemental energy is, it will be useless in the face of magic power. Just like how you blow air into steel, can you blow it to pieces? "
Lu Sheng took a deep breath. What the First Elder told him was the essence of the sect's long years of exploration. It was the experience and lessons learned by countless ancestors after they failed to fight against Divine Weapons with human strength and sacrificed their lives.
The current him was also walking on the path of these seniors.
This was the first time, and this was the first time, that he truly resonated with a sect.
They were the same kind of people. They were all fighting to break free from the control of Divine Weapons and Devil Blades.
"Alright, that's enough. You've seen the power of Magic. Let's go out." The First Elder sighed.
"Yes." Lu Sheng nodded.
With the First Elder's light leap, the two of them quickly returned to the entrance of the cave.
On the way back, the Alliance Meeting was imminent. The Grand Elder was a little worried, so he mentioned it casually.
"The Alliance Meeting is about to begin. Both you and I will have to fight, and so will your Senior Apprentice Sister He Xiang. The two of you will have to deal with a lot of criticism. Now that our Prime Devil Sect is on the decline, it will definitely attract many evil people who covet our sect's resources. Little Sheng, no matter what, you must remember one thing — act within your means. Whether you win or lose, resources are inanimate objects. Talent is the most important. Resources can be earned again, but if people are gone, they're gone! "
Lu Sheng nodded solemnly.
The First Elder continued, "Now that only the two of you are left in the Prime Devil Sect, I've taught you all the secret arts that should be taught. As for how to cultivate, if you have any questions about the Phantom Listening Skill, you can ask me. But for the other branches, there's nothing I can do. I know you're talented, but you must act within your means. Only by focusing on one area will you be able to achieve greater things. "
"This disciple will bear that in mind." Lu Sheng nodded respectfully. Although the First Elder was not as strong as him, his teachings had helped him a lot and saved him a lot of time on the wrong path. So it wasn't a bad idea to take him seriously as his master.
"It's good that you understand. In the future … in the future … sigh … "The road ahead was lost. The First Elder didn't know what to say.
…
Lone Smoke City.
The Lin Family.
The huge pavilion was hundreds of meters tall. The icy blue eaves were covered with all kinds of silk ornaments.
The pavilion looked like an ordinary pavilion of a rich family, magnified dozens of times. It stood in the middle of the city, and was the most eye-catching landmark.
All other buildings and towers bowed their heads to it.
On the observation deck at the highest level of the pavilion, a slender man dressed in white, with long sleeves fluttering in the wind, was quietly looking down at the houses and streets below him.
The man's face wasn't handsome, but it was extremely cold. Moreover, his facial features were distinct, but when put together, they gave off a different kind of icy charm.
Anyone who saw him couldn't help but think of the frozen sapphire.
Lin Huan said. What's with the loss of the Wandering Gods? I need you to give me a detailed explanation! "The man looked down at the scenery below, but his tone was that of someone behind him.
"Young Master Kai, there's just a small change in the plan. It's to be expected that the Wandering Gods would meet with some obstacles. "The person behind him was a tall, muscular man in red with a full beard. His expression didn't change at the question, and he answered calmly. "Moreover, those so-called sect masters and elites, how dare they call themselves Wandering Gods? They're just cannon fodder. If they die, so be it. The Hundred Lineages has plenty of such trash anyway. "
"No matter how bad the cannon fodder is, it's still better than the trash out there," Lin Beikai said coldly, turning back to stare at the big man behind him. "The Wandering Gods are a force that I built with my own hands. Don't you think you're stretching your hands too far?"
"Isn't Young Master's power the family's power? It's only natural that Huandao would use it. Why are you so angry, Young Master? As for the little loss … "Before Lin Huandao could finish, he was slapped in the face by a piece of paper.
"This is the little loss you're talking about?" Lin Beikai's body was suffused with killing intent. These elders of the family were getting more and more outrageous. They even dared to interfere with his private forces? Did they really think he wouldn't dare to make a move?
Lin Huandao took the paper and unfolded it without getting angry.
"The Mirage Water Palace was obstructed. Two Wandering Gods were seriously injured. Eastern Talent Sect lost three, Prime Devil Sect lost three, and Hundred Temperings Sect lost … Eh?!! "Lin Huandao's eyes narrowed as he read this, his expression turning serious.
"I've mobilized a total of 13 Wandering Gods and seven Winter Generals. Eight of them are at the Snake Realm. I didn't expect the Hundred Temperings Sect to lose nine?"
"This is the little loss you're talking about?" Lin Beikai stared at him with killing intent.
"The plan this time was to integrate and eliminate the key sects. Those that can be roped in, those that can't be replaced and merged. This plan was Young Master Kai's to begin with. Although the loss is a little big, isn't it within Young Master's tolerance?"
