C18 Floating devil sword
With a relaxed and carefree mood, Chen Xiao walked into the room with the metallic door.
The moment she entered, Chen Xiao was immediately blinded by the dazzling brilliance of the room. She saw that the not very large stone room was filled with all sorts of magical equipment.
Although these magic treasures did not appear to be as good as the Heaven Swallowing Gourd or the Rainbow Spirit Sword that Chen Xiao had obtained previously, they were still rare in the entire Immortal Illusion Continent.
Looking at the room full of artifacts, Chen Xiao wanted to keep them all in her bag. However, at this moment, he was trying his best to control such an idea, his reason telling him that things might not be as simple as it seemed.
Chen Xiao's soul strength had been promoted and her extraordinary disposition finally revealed its superiority. If it were any ordinary cultivator, they would have already been unable to resist this temptation and began to frantically search.
Looking around, Chen Xiao indeed saw the stone monument in an inconspicuous spot. In the trial grounds now, the stone monument provided information.
Walking forward, he carefully read the contents of the stone tablet.
Anyone who passed the examination room could choose a magic treasure to take away with them, but there was no need to think about bringing more. If this happened, then the entire cultivation ground would be destroyed. It could be said that as long as someone did not control their greed well, they could forget about taking even a single magic treasure.
After Chen Xiao finished reading, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, he had already passed the trials and could begin selecting the rewards.
However, the magic treasures in the room made him feel troubled. To choose a satisfactory magic treasure from so many different kinds of magic treasures was truly a painful thing.
Chen Xiao looked at this and touched that. At one moment, she felt that this was not bad and at the next, she felt that that was also suitable for her. In short, Chen Xiao was unwilling to put it down.
Although Chen Xiao had a Five-Colored Spirit Sword and other Magic Treasures, his judgement towards them had increased. However, the use of these Magic Treasures was not limited to just attacks. There were also many auxiliary Magic Treasures. There were even many defense-type Magic Treasures.
And what Chen Xiao lacked the most was defensive magical equipment. This was the first place he had to choose.
Chen Xiao chose as he walked. Suddenly, he discovered a strange longsword. This longsword was completely black, without any precious light to be seen. Furthermore, this longsword was actually a broken sword.
A sword with only half the blade!
Such a longsword would actually appear in this treasury? Chen Xiao was somewhat curious, but at the same time, she found it unbelievable. She secretly felt that the black sword was definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface.
Chen Xiao reached out her hand to grasp the sword. Immediately, an intense killing intent surged out from the black sword.
This peerless killing intent that carried a slight chill deterred Chen Xiao's spirit. If not for Chen Xiao's soul having received a promotion in strength, her chilling killing intent might have been able to injure his soul.
This sword was not simple!
Instantly, Chen Xiao came to such a conclusion. Looking at the magical equipment that were glowing in a myriad of colors, Chen Xiao felt no longer interested. On the contrary, the black longsword gave Chen Xiao a sense of familiarity.
The Devil Dao had been slaughtered. Picking up the sword was like adding wings to a tiger, Chen Xiao.
"What a pity, this sword is damaged." Chen Xiao sighed softly before feeling somewhat disappointed as though she wanted to put down her sword.
If the demon sword had not been damaged, Chen Xiao would have chosen it without hesitation. However, with the damage done, the demon sword's strength would have definitely been reduced.
Just as Chen Xiao was about to put the demon sword down, a sharp sword beam shot out from the demon sword's body and quickly slashed across Chen Xiao's palm. Immediately, a wound appeared on Chen Xiao's palm.
Chen Xiao was alarmed. It had to be said that he was at the peak of the Spirit Cultivating Stage at the moment. His body had been tempered by spirit energy, so it was not easy for ordinary magical equipment to cause him any damage.
This once again attracted Chen Xiao's attention. However, before Chen Xiao could continue studying the demon sword in his hand, he felt the spiritual energy in his body frantically rushing towards the demon sword. At the same time, Chen Xiao's blood was being sucked away as well.
"It really is the demon sword. The demon sword can even absorb spirit energy and blood!" Chen Xiao was alarmed. He wanted to shake off the Infernal Sword, but the Infernal Sword seemed to be growing in his hand. No matter how much strength Chen Xiao used, it was still stuck in Chen Xiao's hand.
When the demon sword was tainted by Chen Xiao's fresh blood, it emitted bursts of dark red light. It made the demon sword look even more demonic and extraordinary.
At this moment, the original black hue of the demon sword had faded and it was emitting a blood-red glow. At the same time, Chen Xiao saw two ancient words faintly appearing on the sword.
It was not as if Chen Xiao did not recognize the ancient characters. Countless ancient characters had been passed down in the Immortal Illusion Continent. Therefore, these characters had always been studied, even in the third-rate sects, Chen Xiao was no exception.
At this moment, Chen Xiao could clearly see that the two words "Floating" were clearly displayed on the dark red demon sword.
"Floating Life, Floating Life is like a dream. What a good Floating Devil Sword!" Seeing the two words, Chen Xiao suddenly had an epiphany and could not help but mutter.
And at this moment, the look in his eyes began to change. It seemed to be influenced by the demon sword, but also seemed to resonate with the Devil Dao in his heart. Chen Xiao's eyes turned very melancholy and dejected, as though he had walked alone into a lonely distant place with no one around him.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao's body lit up and an incomparably powerful energy surged into his body. The Spiritual Energy that had been absorbed was now recovered a hundredfold. Chen Xiao's body jolted awake and immediately realized that he had unexpectedly broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Chen Xiao, who had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, was not excited. Instead, he was somewhat immersed in the feeling he had previously. That feeling gave Chen Xiao a sense of familiarity, as though he had experienced that feeling before.
The spiritual energy that had been depleted was now replenished and the speed at which the Infernal Sword was absorbing it increased. As for Chen Xiao's blood, the Infernal Sword had stopped absorbing it after a while. It was only absorbing the spiritual energy nonstop.
"Huh?" When Chen Xiao's gaze landed on the Floating Devil Sword once again, he suddenly realized that the damaged parts of the sword had changed. He originally remembered that the demon sword was only half-way through, but it now gave Chen Xiao a feeling that it had grown.
However, the part that grew was not very obvious. It made it impossible for Chen Xiao to determine if it was his eyes or if he had remembered wrongly.
"Wait, this demon sword is really growing!" After a moment of careful observation, Chen Xiao finally came to this conclusion.
And this conclusion immediately surprised Chen Xiao. A demon sword that could repair itself? This was the first time Chen Xiao had encountered it!
Not to mention encountering it, before this, Chen Xiao had never even heard of it. However, such a thing was happening right in front of his eyes.
Could it be that the demon sword relied on spirit energy to repair itself? As the Demon Sword was being repaired bit by bit, the intense killing intent was indeed becoming stronger and stronger. Chen Xiao felt that just by coming close to the Demon Sword, cultivators with weaker wills would be eroded by this cold killing intent.
This was indeed a rare killing sword!
Although the might of the Five-Colored Spirit Sword could be said to be endless, it still made Chen Xiao not very satisfied with its usage. Furthermore, he was currently unable to use the true might of the Five-Colored Spirit Sword, and only the killing intent of the Floating Devil Sword complemented Chen Xiao's cultivation of the demonic path. With such support, Chen Xiao's strength could be said to have increased tremendously.
He was currently at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. If he were to use this Floating Devil Sword to fight, Chen Xiao reckoned that he could go all out against a peak Yuanying Stage expert and would not be at a disadvantage.
Seeing the Floating Devil Sword being repaired bit by bit, Chen Xiao was overjoyed. However, what made Chen Xiao slightly worried was that he did not know how much spiritual energy was needed to completely repair the sword.
Chen Xiao knew that if he was unable to provide the sword with all the spiritual energy it needed, it was very likely that he would be sucked dry and die.
This Floating Devil Sword was actually a double-edged sword. Not only would it provide him with absolute strength, it would also place him in a dangerous situation.
Of course, it was definitely not that easy to damage the demon sword. Although Chen Xiao did not know how the Floating Devil Sword was damaged, even when he used his full strength Nascent Soul Stage attack to land a blow on the demon sword, it did not leave much of a mark.
In order to damage the demon sword, most likely only a Five-Colored Spirit Sword would be able to do it, right? Chen Xiao thought.
Although there was still plenty of Spiritual Energy in his body, Chen Xiao still sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the sect's secret scriptures.
It was always right for him to be prepared to respond at any time. This was what Chen Xiao always did.
However, the moment Chen Xiao started to circulate his cultivation technique, he discovered that his cultivation speed was increasing rapidly while wielding the Floating Devil Sword. In other words, he was already nearing the middle level of the Nascent Soul Stage.
This greatly surprised Chen Xiao, as he once again looked at the Floating Devil Sword in his hand. What sort of background did this demon sword have? Chen Xiao could not help but think to himself.
However, at this moment, Chen Xiao knew that it was not the time to be pondering over these issues. He was not sure how long the Floating Devil Sword would help him, so he immediately calmed down and seized this rare opportunity to cultivate.
