Chapter 185 The Power of Divine Weapons and Demonic Blades
Lu Sheng pushed himself up from the ground, and it took him a while to barely suppress the turmoil in his chest.
He looked up at Xu Qing, his tone slightly probing: "Then—how do you count Golden Leaf-level and Jade Star-level divine weapons and demonic blades? You can't just recognize Divine Wisdom-level and above, can you?"
He had already made his plans: there were too few Divine Wisdom weapons, but there were more Gold Leaf and Jade Star level ones. Even if a single one couldn't match a Divine Wisdom weapon, collecting a few more would make up the difference, which was much more worthwhile than killing Void Realm experts.
Xu Qing's fingertips were still lightly tapping the counter, his tone completely flat as he casually announced the ratios: "Gold Leaf grade, four are equivalent to one Divine Wisdom grade; Jade Star grade, two are equivalent to one Divine Wisdom grade."
Lu Sheng: ...—.—.
After a long while, he finally uttered a thought to himself: You're ruthless!
Finally, Lu Sheng couldn't help but glance at the ten-zhang divine core behind Xu Qing. His eyes were full of reluctance, but he still gritted his teeth, took out two gold-leaf-level divine weapons and placed them on the counter. He turned around and activated the exit rules of the Zhutian Pavilion, and his figure instantly disappeared from the pavilion.
The most important thing right now is to settle the debt of those ten thousand divine weapons in order to eliminate the crisis of his own death.
Moreover, the things in the Zhutian Pavilion were of great help to him. Where else could he find such a stable source of divine power besides here?
Moreover, even killing a being at the Void Realm would be a gain for Lu Sheng.
As soon as Lu Sheng left, the two golden-leaf divine weapons on the counter suddenly emitted faint, pleading sounds, their voices trembling: "Great being, please spare us! Don't eat us, we lowly beings are not tasty at all!"
These two divine weapons were already terrified.
Although the bloodline cultivation in the Heavenly Demon Realm is all created by the radiation of divine weapons and demonic blades, and the divine weapons even select their own wielders as their servants.
But this does not mean that divine weapons and demonic blades are invincible.
When they followed Lu Sheng before, they witnessed him devour other divine weapons as easily as chewing candy.
Moreover, divine weapons and demonic blades are inherently capable of devouring each other, and they had long been afraid of this kind of cannibalism.
Later, when they were taken to the Zhutian Pavilion, they witnessed Lu Sheng's strength rise to a level that they couldn't even comprehend.
Faced with Xu Qing, who could bestow such power upon Lu Sheng, they had no thought of resistance whatsoever; only a deep-seated fear and pleading for mercy remained.
"You guys are so noisy."
Xu Qing's voice was casual, yet it was like an invisible prohibition, instantly plunging the two divine weapons into deathly silence, not daring to tremble even slightly.
He lowered his eyes to look at the two divine weapons and demonic blades on the counter, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes: the human realm and the demon realm of the Heavenly Demon Realm, seemingly two opposing worlds, are actually products of the "Painful World"—the divine weapons and demonic blades are merely defective or unfinished products created by sorcerers and spirit mirror masters in the Painful World, which can only be truly perfected through blood sacrifice; while the human realm and the demon realm are merely "sheep pens" in the Painful World where divine weapons and demonic blades are raised.
The battles between the two realms and the blood sacrifices to the divine weapons and demonic blades were all for the purpose of making them stronger.
As for those powerful families, they are nothing more than "shepherds" of divine weapons and demonic blades. But how do they view mortals as if they were livestock?
For them, sacrificing hundreds or thousands of ordinary people over ten years was nothing out of the ordinary.
It's a food chain, where big fish eat little fish, and each level crushes the others.
"Since it was born with the nature of 'cannibalism,' it can't blame anyone else if it gets eaten."
Xu Qing raised his hand and grabbed the two divine weapons and demonic blades, his fingertips glowing faintly.
In the blink of an eye, the divine souls within the two divine weapons and demonic blades were completely shattered. They didn't even have time to scream; all that remained was pure power, which transformed into two pills engraved with patterns and landed in the palm of the hand.
Anyone who takes these two pills can have a soul comparable to a Holy Lord, merge with the remaining power of divine weapons and demonic blades, and ascend to become the Golden Leaf Holy Lord in one step.
Xu Qing looked at the two pills, grabbed one and swallowed it, then grabbed a divine weapon and demonic blade, chewed it up like hard candy and swallowed it.
The next second, a warm power spread through his body.
He blinked, a thought flashed through his mind, and his arm suddenly shattered. But before the blood could even touch the ground, new flesh and blood began to grow wildly from the break.
It was restored to normal in the blink of an eye.
"Not bad immortality, but it's still a bit weak."
Xu Qing nodded as he looked at the scene.
The fusion of divine weapons and demonic blades can elevate one to the level of a Saint Lord, making one's power comparable to or even stronger than that of a peak-level being.
But the most terrifying aspect of the Divine Weapon and Demon Blade system is not its power, but its almost abnormal physical body and near-heaven-defying immortality.
This is the core purpose for which the sorcerers of the painful world created them.
Even the lowest level of the aristocratic cultivation system, the Binding level, possesses powerful immortality.
The defining characteristic of the Binding Realm is its black membrane pattern, which possesses unimaginable defensive power, potent poison, immortality, and regenerative abilities.
Whether they are scions of noble families or fully formed strange demons, they all possess binding power, and the black membrane patterns are divided into seven levels.
Beings of this level, as long as they do not restrain their power, will cause death to any mortal, no matter how strong, once they touch their bodies.
The immortality of those with single or double stripes means that even if 30% of their body is damaged, they will not die as long as their head and heart are not injured.
Once the third mark is reached, it's a qualitative change; it's impossible to kill the person unless more than 80% of their body is completely destroyed in one go.
Although the warriors of the Swallowed Star World have strong defenses, they are completely devoid of such immortality abilities before the Domain Lord level. Otherwise, a ninth-level cosmic-level warrior would not be controlled by a biochip.
Then comes the Seven Patterns, which is the second qualitative change in the Restricted Level.
Even if a seven-striped expert's entire body is completely smashed, they can quickly regenerate.
Moreover, because it has reached the highest level of restraint, it requires effective means to kill it seven times in a row in order to destroy the seven black membrane patterns and completely kill the seven-patterned powerhouse.
A level-3 expert is equivalent to a regular war god in terms of strength.
After the Confinement Realm comes the Serpent Realm. The most distinctive feature of the Serpent Realm is the condensation of a black membrane, which transforms into a black serpent protecting the body. This black serpent is not a living creature and is collectively known as the Immortal Black Serpent, which has the ability to regenerate continuously.
Different families and different divine weapons and demonic blades naturally bring different abilities, but all the powerful individuals who step into the Serpent level will condense these immortal black serpents.
All damage that falls on itself will be transferred to the Undying Black Serpent.
As long as the black snake remains, the main body will never die. In other words, at this level, the snake level no longer has the concept of a vital point, but has become a level where the contest is based on foundation and accumulated power.
Even at the snake level, the power is only equivalent to the peak of the War God.
But thanks to this immortality, even a snake-level expert can fight a planetary-level opponent for quite some time.
Such terrifying physical bodies make these families who worship divine weapons and are affected by radiation almost indistinguishable from demons.
However, rather than saying they are like demons, it would be more accurate to say that they are of the same kind as demons.
After all, they sacrificed mortals like livestock and were also affected by the radiation of divine weapons, thus deviating from the realm of "human".
