Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 148 Divine Weapon 'Ice Sky Sword'

Seeing that Minghai had successfully passed the fourth level but failed on the fifth, the immortal kings on the island square dispersed amidst sighs of regret.

For a cosmic-level little guy who's only come to Chaos City for the first time and only just crossed the Sky Bridge, his achievements are truly terrifying.

Even these ancient and immortal kings were filled with awe.

This message was sent by the Watcher Baffin to all relevant individuals, including all one thousand who had participated in the Genius Battle, as well as certain Cosmic Venerables who were secretly monitoring the matter.

Upon learning this news, even though they knew Minghai possessed extraordinary talent, the cosmic venerables who were paying attention to this matter were still surprised and couldn't help but sigh.

Even the Nine Swords Venerable was surprised.

"I never expected my disciple to be even more talented than I imagined. Luckily, I acted quickly!"

The Nine Swords Venerable smiled, then looked thoughtful.

"What a pity!"

Deep within the secret realm of Qianwu, in a magnificent palace, an ancient being seated high on a royal throne smiled bitterly:

"He should have stepped forward to take on disciples after the preliminary rounds of the Genius Battle, but now the Nine Swords Venerable has gotten away with it!"

"Sigh, if I could cultivate an invincible King-level expert, I should be able to return one or two treasure points, right?"

The ancient being was filled with regret and shook his head repeatedly.

Guarding a human-made universe for an extended period allows one to slowly accumulate points and pay off debts in installments, but it's just too slow!
If possible, he still wants to venture into various dangerous and secret realms, hoping to obtain treasures and pay off his debts to his tribe and friends.

Unfortunately, he owed too much and died too many times, so he dared not be reckless anymore.

……

Yuxiang Mountain, primitive area.

In the luxurious manor, Minghai was engaged in a fierce battle with a simulated opponent in his private virtual training room.

The simulated opponent was proficient in the second level of the "Mysterious Void Manual," possessing nine sets of sword techniques and mastering the essence of the nine spatial laws. His swordsmanship was sharp, and his movements were elusive.

Although Minghai had also cultivated the first nine sets of sword techniques in the second level of the "Mysterious Void Manual", his sword skills were far inferior, and he was at a disadvantage from the very beginning, struggling to cope.

Logically, he should have thoroughly mastered the first image of the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele" and could now proceed to study the second image.

However, in order to maximize the effect of the observation, he plans to study diligently for a period of time before making any decisions.

At the very least, one must be familiar with the essence of the nine spatial laws corresponding to the second image, as well as the sword techniques corresponding to these spatial laws.

Without prior knowledge, observing the Chaos Stele will not be very effective.

‘Swish swish’

Completely outmatched, Minghai retreated repeatedly, dodging left and right, but was eventually caught up. With a flash of sword light, he was killed on the spot, his body turning into specks of light and disappearing.

After re-forming his body in the training room, Minghai didn't hesitate to summon his virtual opponent again.

'Master, your master, the Nine Swords Venerable, has sent you an email.'

Just then, the virtual assistant suddenly gave a reminder.

"Master?"

He stopped what he was doing, logged into his email account, and opened the email.

"Disciple, I've seen the video of you conquering the Heavenly Bridge. You've completely mastered the first image of the 'Ice Peak Chaos Stele.' Very good."

"I've mailed you a weapon called the 'Ice Void Sword' and a corresponding cultivation manual. It's a divine weapon for water-based martial artists, allowing you to better comprehend and master the laws of water and space. Cultivate diligently."

"Ice Sky Sword?"

Minghai closed his email and pondered silently.

Mentalists have their own divine weapons, and so do martial artists, who are also known as 'invincible among their peers'.

Of course, the reason why the Nine Swords Venerable gave the Nether Sea Divine Weapon 'Ice Void Sword' was definitely not to make him 'invincible among his peers', as he had already reached that standard long ago.

However, divine weapons have an extremely unique application of laws, allowing cultivators to better master the corresponding laws, making them one of the best treasures for cultivation.

The prerequisite is that you must have the talent. Divine weapons are powerful, but the difficulty of cultivating them is also extraordinary.

Of course, with Minghai's talent, this is no problem at all.

Half a month later, two black-robed messengers arrived at Minghai's residence, bringing with them a silver battle sword made of an unknown special metal and a thick metal manual.

"What a fine sword!" Upon returning to his residence, Minghai drew his longsword, feeling the sharp blade and the keen aura emanating from it, and exclaimed in admiration.

Infused with the power of genes, the longsword gleamed with a brilliant light, and when swung freely, the fluctuations of the laws were perfectly in harmony.

Divine weapons are those that can perfectly integrate the fluctuations of the two laws of up and down, and fully unleash the comprehension of the laws of a certain realm.

The 'Ice Void Sword' is a divine weapon based on the laws of water and air!
After obtaining the 'Ice Void Sword', Minghai immediately began cultivating.

As a divine weapon for martial artists, the 'Ice Void Sword', like other divine weapons, is also divided into nine levels.

First level 'Ice Blade Rain'

Upon reaching this level, the Law of Water manifests in the form of ice blades.

Second 'Ice Blade Storm'

Upon reaching this level, the Water Law gathers countless ice blades, which, once unleashed, resemble a storm of ice blades.

The third layer: 'Snow and rain falling'

This new beginning is no longer simply about the laws of water, but rather contains both the laws of water and space, perfectly combined, resulting in a surge in power.

Fourth level 'Frost and Snow Ice Blade'

The fifth layer of 'Frost Space'

The sixth level 'Ice and Snow Domain'

The seventh layer, 'A Thousand Layers of Icebergs'

The eighth level 'Ice and Snow World'

The ninth level, 'Even the immortal can be defeated'

Once the final stage is achieved, one can theoretically rival an immortal!
Minghai's cultivation progress is very fast.

He mastered the first level of 'Ice Blade Rain' that very day.

This level of understanding of the Laws of Water requires a level comparable to that of a senior Realm Lord. With the understanding of the Laws of Water and the cultivation of secret techniques in the Underworld Sea, it is almost something that can be mastered immediately.

Three days later, he mastered the second level of 'Ice Blade Storm'.

This level of understanding of the laws of water is almost at the level of a peak world lord, but it is still not difficult for Minghai.

The third level, 'Flying Snow and Ice', requires the comprehension of the Law of Water to be at the peak of the Realm Lord level, and also requires crossing the threshold of the Law of Space. The conditions are not difficult.

However, the unique application of the two laws and the special sword techniques of the 'Ice Void Sword' are extremely profound. Even with Minghai's deep foundation, it took him a month to master them.

The fourth level, 'Frost and Snow Ice Blade,' corresponds to a level of understanding of the laws that is comparable to his current level. It was quite demanding to cultivate, and it took him half a year to truly master it.

After mastering the fourth level of 'Frost and Snow Ice Blade', when practicing the first nine sets of sword techniques in the second level of the 'Mysterious Void Manual', Minghai faintly sensed nine unique void fluctuations.

Three of them are the essence of the spatial laws that he has already mastered.

Needless to say, the other six unique void fluctuations are also the essence of the laws of space.

"Cultivating divine weapons has a truly significant effect on comprehending the laws!"

In the training room, holding the 'Ice Void Sword' that exuded a sharp aura, Minghai sighed:
"No wonder that grandson Luo Feng's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds after obtaining the Divine Weapon. The divine weapon is not only incredibly powerful, but its effect on the cultivation of laws is in no way inferior to the 'Mysterious Void Manual'!"

"It's time to observe the Chaos Stele!"

Sheathing the 'Ice Void Sword', Minghai exited the virtual universe, rose from the rooftop of his third-floor residence, leaped into the air, and landed on the ancient streets of Chaos City, heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Before the bronze gate, the three-eyed old man, Kander, smiled as he watched the approaching Underworld Sea.

"You've come to observe the Chaos Stele so soon, are you ready?"

"Kandri asked with a smile."

"Thank you for your concern, senior. I am ready!"

Minghai said respectfully.

"You have crossed four levels of the Heavenly Bridge and have four opportunities to view the 'Ice Peak Chaos Stele'!"

Kandri nodded and said:

"The cultivation room is empty, let's go in!"
