'And this Devil Aura … I don't even need to convert it. I can just compress it into liquid form and fuse it into my body.'
Lu Sheng searched the ground around him, and soon found a few more items containing Mental Energy.
Then, he killed another seven or eight wolf monsters in the dark. He wandered around in the dark and finally met the first intelligent creature he encountered since entering the cave.
It was a blackish-green giant wolf with all kinds of arrows sticking out of its body.
In the dark, the wolf's glowing green eyes examined Lu Sheng from head to toe.
"Another one … The Ancient Devil has broken free. He destroyed all the layers of seals. We, along with the other guardians, have been contaminated. Are you from the Song Dynasty? "
"You … can talk?" Lu Sheng was surprised.
"Why can't I?" The wolf spoke with a Great Song accent. It didn't seem to care. "You look strong, but you're no match for the Ancient Devil. Did you come alone? "
"I came alone. I found this place by accident," Lu Sheng answered honestly. "What kind of place is the Devil Abyss?"
"Where's your Weapon Master? Is he outside? "The rotting wolf looked around.
"Uh … no …" Lu Sheng didn't have a Divine Weapon, but the wolf's tone made him decide to hide his special status for now.
"Then why did you come down? To die? "The rotting wolf was confused. At the same time, his body slowly and soundlessly moved in the darkness, stealthily approaching Lu Sheng.
"You have to understand that the Ancient Devil isn't a normal Devil King like you think. They have a special devouring power. They have the strongest advantage of the Ancient races …"
The rotting wolf said as it moved closer.
Now that it was close, Lu Sheng could see the wolf's condition. It was more than four meters tall, and its body was covered in all kinds of rusty black arrows. Some pierced through its abdomen, some through its chest, and some through its eyes.
This was a wolf demon that should have been dead. However, it was still talking to Lu Sheng, unharmed.
"… The sealed Demon Kings in the lower levels have all been sucked dry by them. When we first let them in, it was to prevent the sealed Demon King from recovering his strength, but now they've become accomplices. "The giant rotten wolf kept approaching." Did you really come down alone? "he asked again.
"What are you trying to say?" Lu Sheng frowned. His gaze fell on the densely packed arrows on his opponent's body.
"I don't want to say anything. I just feel that you alone aren't enough to suppress the seal. After all, everyone had joined hands back then … "
Chi!
In an instant, a sharp claw smashed into Lu Sheng's back from the darkness. The sharp claws instantly split into five and enveloped Lu Sheng's back from different angles.
"… Since you're going to die if you go down, why don't you give it to me? Let us, who have served for so many years, have a good meal!! It's been too long … It's been too long since I've tasted living food … "The rotting giant wolf roared, revealing a hideous and hateful laugh.
Boom!!
The sharp claws smashed into Lu Sheng's back, but the giant rotten wolf howled in pain and retreated a few steps, clutching its right claw.
Its entire right claw was pierced through several bloody holes, and a large amount of thick black mucus dripped from the wounds. "You … You …!!?"
The giant rotten wolf looked at Lu Sheng, still in shock. This seemingly normal human just a moment ago, now had many bone spikes growing out of his back.
He had smashed the bone spikes with his palm, and the sharp spikes that were as sharp as swords and sabers had pierced through his palm.
"Boring tricks." Lu Sheng grinned, revealing his sharp fangs and long, thin tongue. "Since you've provided me with a lot of information."
Puff!
He suddenly moved, and his tail lashed out like a venomous snake, wrapping around the giant wolf's neck and lifting it up.
"No!!!" The absolute difference in strength left the giant rotten wolf no room to struggle.
It struggled desperately, clawing at the giant tail with its sharp claws. Black mist and green light came out of its mouth.
A pair of large wings grew on its back, flapping desperately in an attempt to break free from the giant tail.
"I'll leave you with a whole corpse."
Crack!
The giant rotten wolf's neck and head were completely broken, and it fell to the ground. Its entire body instantly turned into minced meat and scattered on the ground.
Lu Sheng did not even look at the wolf's corpse. He rolled up the fallen head with his tail again and placed it in the pile of corpses.
"Now I'll leave you with a whole corpse."
Puff …
A pitch-black Devil Qi gushed out of the wolf's body, and suddenly flew out, disappearing into the pitch-black cave in the blink of an eye.
Lu Sheng did not care. He carefully examined the wolf's body, and soon found a bunch of keys.
There was no rust on the keys, and they seemed to have been well maintained.
Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then put the keys into his waist pouch, and began to examine the entire cave along the walls.
Soon, he found a simple space that was partitioned by wooden planks in a narrow corner.
The space was not big, only the size of a bedroom in a regular person's home. There were a few wooden buckets, a rotting dressing table, a few stools, a bookshelf, and a candlestick.
There were even a few books on the bookshelf.
Lu Sheng walked closer, took a book, and flipped through it. It was filled with symbols and words that he could not understand. It was not the Song language, nor was it the ancient Song language.
He thought for a moment, then put the book back in its original place. His gaze fell on a wooden sculpture placed on top of a wooden bucket.
It was a statue, a statue carved from black and red stone.
"This is …"
Lu Sheng reached out and took the sculpture down. He noticed that there were incense sticks in front of the sculpture, and that there were faint, smooth indentations on the ground beneath his feet.
The residents of this place seemed to be worshipping this sculpture as a statue of a god.
As soon as he touched it, Lu Sheng did not even have time to feel the hardness of the material before he was stunned by the immense Mental Energy contained within it.
"So much!!?" He was so shocked that he almost dropped his hand.
If the tree root door made him feel strange and heavy, then this sculpture made him feel like he had won the lottery.
He had thought it was just an ordinary toy, but it turned out to be a rare treasure!
"Burn, destroy, entrust, nothingness, pass on everything. Let this pain redeem all lives in this world. Let this destruction ignite all evil thoughts …" A soft voice that sounded like chanting entered Lu Sheng's ears.
He did not know what language the voice was using, but he could strangely understand it.
'Is this another special force field that affects the mind?' Lu Sheng ignored it. He extended his index finger and pointed at the face of the statue.
Soon, a drop of thick, dark-red blood fell steadily on the face of the statue.
"Hiss …"
A huge amount of Mental Energy surged into Lu Sheng's body. It had been a long time since he had dripped his blood to absorb Mental Energy. It was not that he could not, but that there were not many Mental Energy items that were worth it.
Usually, he could absorb tens or hundreds of Mental Energy just by touching it. There was no need to force blood.
But this statue was different.
This statue was only the size of a palm. It was blood-red and covered in a thin veil. It was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman, but it contained more than 600 units of Mental Energy.
If he wanted to absorb such a large amount of Mental Energy in a short time, he would have to drip his blood.
As thin white smoke rose, the Mental Energy on the statue quickly flowed into Lu Sheng's body.
After the absorption, the surface of the statue glowed faintly. With a crack, it broke into several large pieces and fell to the ground.
Lu Sheng ignored the statue fragments that had fallen to the ground. Without Mental Energy, these things were useless to him. He focused on getting used to his current body.
The Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way had developed his body to an incomprehensible level. After absorbing the Devil Essence from the altar, his body had undergone a qualitative change. He had long reached the level of a Holy Weapon, which was also known as the Source Level.
However, Lu Sheng did not know what level of Source Level he was at. He was extremely unfamiliar with this level. Without any reference, he did not know if he had reached the level of a true Divine Weapon or Devil Blade.
'I'm probably at the level of a Holy Weapon now, but not at the level of a Divine Weapon or Devil Blade.' Lu Sheng finished absorbing Mental Energy and re-examined his current state.
Prime Devil Qi had undergone a complete qualitative change. It had turned into a special Devil Qi with a faint purple tinge. Everything else remained the same, except for his body size.
He was now in Extreme Yin Mode. Fortunately, he had completely controlled his body and shrunk his body back to its original height of nearly two meters.
However, there were some other abnormalities on his body that could not be completely concealed.
For example, his mouth was full of sharp, jagged teeth. Previously, he could cover these teeth with his flesh, but now that the third row of teeth had grown out, he could no longer hide them.
In the darkness, Lu Sheng glanced at the altar in the center. That should be the entrance to the next level.
With so much Mental Energy, his first choice was to continue improving the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way. However, improving the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way required too much Devil Qi …
'Coincidentally, there's plenty of Devil Qi here. It's perfect for me to quickly improve my Devil Body secret arts!'
This was a rare opportunity. Lu Sheng did not think too much about it. He immediately released his Yin Demons to guard him and sat down cross-legged to meditate.
…
West Infinity Court
Thousand Phoenix Pavilion was the largest armory of West Infinity Court. It was also the storehouse for weapons.
The weapons used by the disciples of the Noble Families and sects were naturally different from those of ordinary martial artists. Most of their weapons were made with special materials, and some were even mixed with shards of Divine Weapons and Devil Blades to form Divine Seal Weapons with special abilities.
The Devil Disaster had erupted in Thousand Sails City, and this was the headquarters of West Infinity Court. It was quite a distance from Thousand Sails City.
Therefore, while the battle was going on, this place was still busy preparing for the minor alliance meeting.
Zhao Zhi was dressed in a purple robe with two dragons playing with pearls and a crown of clouds. He was all smiles as he chatted cheerfully with the other two sect masters who had just arrived.
Suddenly, a subordinate disciple hurried over and handed an encrypted letter to Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi took the letter and unfolded it slightly. He took a glance, then rolled it up again with a natural expression. With a flash of light in his hand, the letter turned into powder.
"You may leave," he instructed.
The disciple left slowly.
"The city gates are closed. The formation has been activated. Even if we attack from both inside and outside, we probably won't be able to break through the Hundred Transformation Formation of the West Infinity Court. Brother Zhao, you've really put in a lot of effort this time. You've even brought out the sect's most precious treasure to protect everyone, "a sect master beside him complimented with a smile.
"Not at all. As the host, our West Infinity Court naturally strives to be perfect in all aspects. The formation has been activated because we've heard that there's something wrong with the security situation. In order not to disturb everyone's mood, we've temporarily activated it for a day." A cold glint flashed across Zhao Zhi's eyes, but he maintained his smile.
