Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 220 The Lord of Ice Peak Bestows a Treasure
"When we last met, you said you wanted a treasure that could conceal your presence and alter your aura, a treasure that could increase your movement speed, and a sword-type attack treasure that was primarily for killing!"

Looking at the Nether Sea, the Lord of the Ice Peaks smiled and said:

"Look, are these three treasures suitable?"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and four items appeared out of thin air, flying slowly side by side toward the Nether Sea.

Seeing the four items flying towards him, Minghai's eyes widened as he extended his mental energy to perceive them carefully.

The item inside was a dull, silver-gray battle armor that looked inconspicuous. Even with mental perception, nothing could be detected.

The two items next to each other on the left are a pair of gold and silver interwoven boots. The boots have a unique shape and are covered with many exquisite patterns, each pattern exuding a profound and mysterious aura.

These mysterious auras were completely unfamiliar to the Nether Sea and utterly incomprehensible.

On the right is an incredibly sharp longsword with a bright blood-red blade and an inky black spine, exuding a strong, bloody aura.

Intuition told Minghai that any one of these three treasures was priceless!
"Your cultivation level is too low. You can't figure out what kind of treasure it is just by using your mental power!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks smiled and said:
"By performing the blood oath, you can gain the recognition of these treasures. You can then gradually familiarize yourself with their functions!"

"Yes!"

Suppressing his excitement, Ming Hai first respectfully responded, then carefully stretched out his hand, controlled his body, and squeezed out three drops of blood from his fingertips, dripping them onto the silver-gray battle armor, the gold and silver boots, and the blood-ink longsword, respectively.

The vivid blood was quickly absorbed by the three treasures. The silver-gray battle armor and the gold and silver boots immediately disappeared into Minghai's body, while the blood-ink longsword hung quietly in front of Minghai.

A large amount of information emerged from the core of the treasure.

Minghai closed his eyes and concentrated, receiving the information from these treasures.

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes, which were filled with both surprise and joy.

The silver-gray battle armor, named 'Shadow Armor,' is an ordinary supreme-grade battle armor.

There are three layers of secret patterns inside, corresponding to the three forms of this treasured battle armor.

The first form requires the ultimate level of immortality-level comprehension of the laws, namely, understanding the three major branches of the spatial laws: 'blockade', 'teleportation', and 'strangulation'. It also requires ten thousand times the power of a peak human realm master to activate. Once activated, it can increase the power of a peak human realm master by 10 times and weaken material attacks to one percent.

The second form requires complete mastery of the laws of space and the power of a peak human realm master ten million times to activate. Once activated, it can increase the power of a peak human realm master by one hundred million times, and can weaken material attacks to one-thousandth.

The third form requires 100 billion times the power of a peak human realm master to activate. Once activated, it increases the power of a peak human realm master by 10 billion times, reducing material attacks to one-thousandth of their original power.

In addition, as long as one's understanding of the laws reaches the peak of the King-level Immortal realm, one can activate the secret runes inside the battle armor to completely conceal one's aura.

At the same time, it can change its aura at will, and no one can tell unless they are the master of the universe who controls time and space.

This feature was exactly what the Underworld Sea had requested from the Lord of Ice Peak.

"hiss!"

After understanding the effects of this treasure, Minghai was overjoyed but also deeply regretful.

The item is good, but I can't expect to use it anytime soon.

Even the simplest functions of concealment and altering one's aura require a peak-level understanding of the laws of the King-level, and he, who had only just begun to reach the level of the King-level Immortal Laws, simply couldn't use them.

The boots, with their gold and silver lacquer and intricate patterns covering their surface, each pattern radiating a profound and mysterious aura, were in a similar situation.

A common flying-type treasure, the 'Swift Boots'!
It also has three layers of secret patterns, each corresponding to one of the three forms.

The first form requires the comprehension of the laws of the peak-level King-level to activate. Once activated, it can perform the immortal-level 'teleportation', and in battle, the movement technique reaches the level of the ultimate immortal skill.

The second form requires complete mastery of the laws of space to activate. Once activated, it allows for the use of 'teleportation' at the level of a Cosmic Venerable. In combat, the movement technique reaches the ultimate level of a Cosmic Venerable.

The third form requires a high level of understanding of the laws of the universe to activate. Once activated, it allows the user to perform a universe master-level 'teleportation'. In battle, the user's movement technique reaches the ultimate level of a universe overlord.

These 'Swift Boots' were incredibly tempting to Minghai, but unfortunately, like the 'Shadow Armor,' they were unusable for a considerable period of time.

The most basic first-level function requires the understanding of the laws at the peak of the King-level immortal realm, which is simply impossible to activate at this stage.

However, that blood-black longsword is ready to use right now.

Minghai picked up the longsword and examined it closely.

Aside from its extreme sharpness and the dense, bloody aura it exudes, this sword has no internal runes. Its power depends entirely on the user's understanding of the laws and their mastery of secret techniques. "This sword has no internal runes, but you can inscribe your own secret techniques upon it!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks smiled and said:
"The power of a sword depends on the level of your secret techniques!"

"If the secret technique engraved within the sword is a self-created pinnacle of skill, then this sword is a powerful offensive weapon!"

"In the future, after you become a Universe Venerable, you will inscribe your self-created pinnacle Universe Venerable techniques into the sword's body, making this sword a high-level offensive treasure!"

"If one can inscribe their own ultimate technique of the Cosmic Sovereign into the sword's blade, this sword will become a top-tier offensive treasure!"

"This sword can grow with you, and at its peak, it can become a top-tier offensive treasure. Even if you advance to the level of a Universe Venerable and become a Universe Overlord, you will still find it useful!"

Upon hearing this, Minghai looked up sharply, gazing at the Lord of Ice Peak with delight.

"hehe!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks looked at the Underworld Sea with a smile and asked:
"So, are you satisfied with these three treasures?"

"I am very pleased with this treasure. Thank you so much, Master!"

Minghai bowed respectfully and expressed his gratitude.

Although he no longer possessed the top-tier soul defense treasure 'Yanmo Terrace', any of these three treasures were no less valuable than 'Yanmo Terrace' and were extremely suitable for him.

The Lord of Ice Peaks must have gone to great lengths to find these treasures.

Minghai was unaware that, because he had not known the details beforehand, he had rashly given him a soul defense treasure that was useless to him. The Ice Peak Lord felt that he had lost face, so he spent a lot of effort to collect these three treasures.

Otherwise, even if the Lord of Ice Peak had high hopes for his disciple, he would at most give him an ordinary treasure, and would never go to the trouble of finding three treasures that fit the Nether Sea so perfectly.

After all, such a wonderful treasure is completely useless to the realm lord; it would be a complete waste.

Even if Minghai possesses extraordinary talent and is likely to reach the peak of the Immortal Law Realm during his World Lord era, it would still be a waste to activate the first form of the 'Shadow Armor' and 'Swift Boots'.

However, that blood-black sword can be used now, and can be used until the level of a Universe Venerable.

"hehe!"

Seeing the delighted look on the Nether Sea's face, the Lord of the Ice Peak was greatly satisfied and then gave the following instructions:

"Besides that sword, you don't need the 'Shadow Armor' and 'Swift Boots' for now. Don't bring them when you go to the outer battlefield. Hmm, you have that magical spacetime secret technique and the strange sea of ​​blood as your backing, so you don't need to worry about that!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Minghai felt a chill run down his spine, secretly glanced at the Lord of Ice Peak, and then obediently lowered his head.

"What, you think I don't know?"

Noticing the somewhat uneasy look on Minghai's face, the Lord of Ice Peaks laughed loudly:

"Long before I gave the Nine Swords the secret technique of the Ice Peak Divine Body, I went to Earth to use 'Time Reversal' to observe your growth process. I felt that your personality was similar to mine, so I decided to take you as my disciple!"

"do not worry!"

After a pause, the Lord of Ice Peaks continued:

"I've covered up all your secrets for you; no one will know!"

"Our human race is extremely tolerant of geniuses of the younger generation. As long as they do not betray the race, we will not pry into any secrets. Although the opportunities you obtained in your early years were extremely extraordinary, I assure you that no one will harm you!"

In the end, his words were resolute and unwavering.

"Thank you for your concern, Master!"

Minghai felt relieved and thanked him again.

He believed in the Lord of the Ice Peaks.

Humans are indeed like this. Although their training of geniuses is extremely harsh and even cruel, resulting in a 90% mortality rate, they are also extremely tolerant. No matter what opportunities these geniuses have, they will not interfere and will do their best to protect them.

Otherwise, given Minghai's cold-hearted nature, he wouldn't have stood on the side of the human race from the very beginning and considered himself a member of the human race.
