Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

137. Chapter 137 The Best Spiritual Weapon, 【Slaying Immortal Demon Sword】!

Chapter 137: Supreme Spiritual Weapon, "Immortal-Slaying Demon Blade"!

Swish!

Liu Zimo appeared in the military supply depot of the Jinmen Army.

His gaze swept over several worn-out weapons casually piled on the shelves in the corner of the warehouse.

Swish!

With a wave of his right hand, he took a pocket-sized dagger about ten centimeters long into his hand.

At first glance, this dagger was nothing more than ordinary iron.

Because it had been left untouched for too long, it even had a hint of rust on its surface. It was plain and unremarkable, without any special features.

However, when Liu Zimo carefully and repeatedly scanned the dagger with his spiritual sense, he unexpectedly discovered that its material had an extremely high resonance frequency with spiritual fluctuations.

What did this mean?

Even though Liu Zimo was not knowledgeable in the art of refining weapons, he knew that this meant the dagger was likely a spiritual treasure specifically used for spiritual cultivation, capable of being incorporated into the spiritual sea of a cultivator's mind!

However, it was currently devoid of spiritual energy and had not tasted blood in a long time, which was why it had become so damaged.

Only Liu Zimo, who was both a martial arts genius and had reached the Spiritual Abyss Saint Realm in spiritual cultivation, could detect the anomaly of this dagger through repeated spiritual scans.

"Although the military supply depot of the Jinmen Army also has a considerable reserve of spiritual medicines, most of them are just healing or martial cultivation-enhancing elixirs. They are almost useless to the Demon Lord, who no longer has a physical body."

"If the Demon Lord's true goal is to infiltrate the military supply depot, then this specialized spiritual cultivation dagger is undoubtedly the most likely candidate!"

Liu Zimo examined and inspected the dagger while muttering to himself.

As he spoke, he quietly released a strand of his soul's power, attempting to refine and activate the dagger.

However, to his surprise, his soul consciousness encountered strong resistance on the surface of the blade, and his soul's origin could not imprint itself on it at all.

It seemed that the surface of this dagger had been sealed by someone, and even with Liu Zimo's current spiritual cultivation strength at the Spiritual Abyss Saint Realm, he couldn't break the seal.

This only made Liu Zimo more certain of his previous speculation.

This dagger definitely had a significant background, at the very least, it was a treasure passed down from ancient times!

Perhaps, it was even the weapon used by the Demon Lord back then, but for some reason, it ended up lost!

Otherwise, the Demon Lord and He Yannian wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to take it away.

"However, with the strength of the Demon Lord and He Yannian, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to sneak into the military supply depot and steal this dagger, right?"

"Why did they create such a big commotion, pulling all the Golden Body Realm warriors out of the city?"

Liu Zimo still couldn't figure it out.

He Yannian's stealth ability was actually quite good, coupled with the Demon Lord's secret assistance, they could completely avoid everyone's detection and quietly enter the military supply depot to take what they wanted.

But the current situation was...

They were deliberately not taking the simple and quick route, instead diverting attention and causing chaos throughout the city, making everyone restless.

What were they planning?

Unless they had an even bigger goal, and to accomplish this task, they needed the entire Jinmen City to be in chaos, the more chaotic, the better!

Snap!

Liu Zimo raised his hand and lightly tapped the turtle shell on his shoulder, awakening Turtle Sui Shou from deep sleep.

This old turtle would always fall into a deep sleep after eating, as if it were meditating in cultivation. In reality, it was just lazy and sleepy. It wouldn't even open its eyes unless you called it.

Although it was already winter, it was indeed the time for turtles to hibernate.

But you are an ancient spirit beast, and your cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Manifested Saint Realm. How could you still be unable to break free from instinctual constraints?

One word, laziness!

"What? Master, did you call me?"

The old turtle was startled awake and quickly looked up at Liu Zimo.

Upon seeing the miniature dagger in Liu Zimo's hand, the old turtle's drowsy eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise,

"Oh my!"

"Did I see wrong or something?"

"Isn't this the lifebound spirit weapon, the [Heaven-Cutting Demon Blade], that the Demon Lord refined from millions of living beings in the ancient era?!"

"Master, did you obtain this from the Demon Lord?"

"No, no, no, it's impossible!"

Before Liu Zimo could answer, the old turtle shook his head and denied it himself,

"This [Heaven-Cutting Demon Blade] caused too much slaughter in the hands of the Demon Lord."

"As early as a hundred thousand years ago, when the powerful cultivators of the Dao Sect joined forces to besiege the Demon Lord, they took it from his hands and sealed it forever with the Heavenly Sealing Formation."

"The seal is still intact, indicating that it hasn't been refined by the Demon Lord again, so it's naturally impossible for it to merge with the remnant soul!"

Saying this, the turtle couldn't help but curiously look up at Liu Zimo,

"Master, where did you get this [Heaven-Cutting Demon Blade]?"

[Heaven-Cutting Demon Blade]?

What a domineering name!

This made Liu Zimo involuntarily think of the [Heaven-Cutting Flying Dagger] of the mythical figure Lu Yaodao.

Weapons named "Heaven-Cutting" are usually not easy to deal with.

Maybe the [Heaven-Cutting Flying Dagger] in the Great Xia mythology evolved from this [Heaven-Cutting Demon Blade]!

Liu Zimo didn't answer the old turtle's question but continued to ask it,

"Since this is the Demon Lord's lifebound spirit weapon, do you think the Demon Lord's purpose in attacking Jinmen City this time is to reclaim it?"

"Of course!"

The turtle immediately responded without hesitation, "This is a top-grade spiritual weapon. Even in the ancient era a hundred thousand years ago, it was a rare treasure."

"In this age where resources are extremely scarce, the value of a top-grade spiritual treasure goes without saying."

"Moreover, the sealing Dao rhyme on this [Heaven-Cutting Demon Blade] has suffered some damage and omissions due to the erosion of time and the depletion of spiritual energy in the end times."

"Otherwise, the Demon Lord wouldn't be able to sense its aura, and even the master might not be able to detect its anomaly."

"The Heavenly Sealing Mark is the highest prohibition in the Dao Sect. When cultivated to the extreme, it is said to have the power to seal the heavens."

"In its peak and intact state, even the original Demon Lord of the ancient era would not be able to break it even by half."

Hearing this, Liu Zimo understood.

The Demon Lord did indeed come for this dagger!

However, if you wanted to steal the dagger, why did you have to create so much trouble?

"Blood sacrifice!"

"It must be for a blood sacrifice!"

As if sensing the doubt in his master's heart, the turtle decisively gave an answer,

"The Demon Lord must want to use the blood and souls of the human people in the city to blood sacrifice the Demon Blade, in order to break the heavenly prohibition on the surface of the [Heaven-Cutting Demon Blade]!"

"Just because both the Demon Lord and his spiritual pet, the Blackheart Crane, have suffered significant damage to their current strength, and they haven't even recovered to the level of a Grandmaster. Naturally, they wouldn't dare to openly slaughter people in the city!"

"So, they thought of using extraterrestrial demons outside the city to cause trouble!"

"With the Demon Lord's spiritual cultivation strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to control several extraterrestrial demons at the Golden Body Realm."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo nodded slightly, and his previous doubts suddenly became clear.

In the apocalypse, it was normal for demonic beasts to attack cities and slaughter the people within. Almost every city had experienced similar situations.

If Jinmen City was suddenly attacked by demonic beasts tonight, even if tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people died, no one would suspect anything.

After all, it was normal for demonic beasts to attack and eat humans in the apocalypse. If someone died, it was their own bad luck.

Therefore, it was very appropriate for the Demon Lord to control several Golden Body Realm demonic beasts to attack Jinmen City, taking advantage of their preference for human flesh to confuse the situation, destroy the evidence, and cover their tracks.

As for why the Demon Lord didn't directly control Li Shengji, Zhu Fang, and other Golden Body Realm experts in the city to slaughter people, the reason was actually simple.

He was wary of the powerful human experts in this era!

Or perhaps, he was worried that there were powerful beings from the ancient Daoist sects who were still alive, so he didn't dare to act too arrogantly and recklessly!

After all, the Demon Lord now only had a wisp of remnant soul left and could only survive by parasitizing a spiritual pet.

His own strength was only one-tenth of what it used to be, and with a single mistake, he could bring about his own destruction.

"Besides blood sacrifice, are there any other ways to break the seal on the Immortal Slayer Demon Blade?" Liu Zimo shook the dagger in his hand and asked Turtle Sui Shou softly.

Turtle Sui Shou seemed to have anticipated that his master would ask this question and replied directly, "If it were before, there wouldn't be any!"

"But now, the Heavenly Seal has been damaged and weakened by nearly 70%, so there is a possibility of breaking the seal in advance."

"The reason why the Demon Lord chose the blood sacrifice method is because this demon blade itself is a blood sacrifice item. It can achieve twice the result with half the effort by nourishing it with the fresh blood and souls of humans."

"And since you, Master, have a great sense of justice and kindness, you naturally wouldn't resort to such brutal methods of slaughtering the city."

"Therefore, I suggest that you use this demon blade to continuously kill demons, using their blood and the aura of death they carry to continuously contaminate, erode, and consume the Innate Dao Rhyme on the seal!"

"Once the Innate Dao Rhyme is completely worn away, the seal will be lifted, and the Flying Heaven Demon Blade will regain its normal power as a top-grade spiritual weapon!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo nodded again, feeling relieved, and looked at the old turtle with admiration.

Indeed, having an old turtle like this at home was like having a treasure.

Although this old turtle was lazy, it had lived from ancient times to the present, and its knowledge and experience were not ordinary.

Swish!

Liu Zimo flashed back to the rooftop of the commercial building in the center of the city, and with a light flick of his right hand, he directly summoned the Immortal Slayer Demon Blade he held in his hand.

Boom!

In an instant, the thousands of demonic beasts gathered at the northern defense line of the city all simultaneously ceased to exist within a flash of blade light!

Liu Zimo, who had been closely monitoring the seal on the Immortal Slayer Demon Blade, sensed that as these demonic beasts died, there was indeed some change in the seal on the back of the blade.

The degree of damage to the Heavenly Seal Dao Rhyme directly increased by 0.0001%!

Liu Zimo's mouth twitched.

It was too exaggerated that nearly ten thousand demonic beasts only increased the progress of breaking the seal by 0.0001%!

If it weren't for his spiritual power always attached to these two daggers, he probably wouldn't have noticed it at all!

At this rate of development, how many tens of thousands or even billions of demonic beasts does he have to slay in order to completely unseal this magic sword?

It's just too slow!

No wonder the Demon Lord would abandon the demonic beasts outside the city, where he could freely kill without fear of retaliation, and instead take the risk of entering the city to slaughter the human race for blood sacrifices!

I can't endure it any longer, and I can't wait either!

However, unlike the Demon Lord who has just recovered and is eager to restore his cultivation, time and patience are not a problem for Liu Zimo now. He is not in a hurry to unseal the "Immortal Slayer Magic Sword".

It's just an external object after all!

Even if it's amazing, in Liu Zimo's eyes, it is not more important than his "good brothers" and "good sisters"!

"Perfect, I can give this magic sword to Xiaofeihong!"

Liu Zimo murmured to himself:

"That girl is lively by nature and extremely hateful towards demonic beasts. She has a strong killing intent. If she doesn't go out of the city to hunt demonic beasts for a day, she will feel uncomfortable all over."

"Putting this magic sword in her hands will definitely complement each other, and it may only take a few years to completely unseal it!"

Liu Zimo instantly had an idea in his mind. He never thought of keeping this top-grade spiritual weapon with him.

Upon hearing his master's self-talk, Guisuishou's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

[He actually wants to give it away?]

[This is a top-grade spiritual weapon. Even in ancient times, it is a rare treasure. Once it is released, it will also cause many powerful beings to fight desperately for it!]

[If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Lord had never died and the experts of the Dao Sect could not refine and subdue this magic sword, they would not have been willing to directly seal and suppress such a top-grade spiritual weapon.]

[And now, the Demon Lord is dead, and the imprint left in the magic sword has completely dissipated. As long as the seal of the heavens is removed, it will become much simpler and easier to refine this ownerless top-grade spiritual weapon!]

[Such a rare opportunity, the master actually didn't even think about it and wants to give it to his disciple?]

[Truly... a strong will and determination!]

[...]

Guisuishou sighed in his heart.

He never expected that there would still be someone in this world who could resist the temptation of a top-grade spiritual weapon and casually give it away!

Such mentality and determination, even the old Taoist priests of the past were not as good as him, right?

Liu Zimo ignored Guisuishou's thoughts and waved his hand, throwing the "Immortal Slayer Magic Sword" towards Xiaofeihong's direction.

Along with the "Immortal Slayer Magic Sword," he also threw the refined "Crane Top Dan Red" that Guisuishou had previously sealed the "Forbidden Martial Domain" with.

Two disciples, one spiritual treasure for each, one focused on offense and the other on defense, perfectly balanced.

Perfect!

"Feihong, Xiaoxiao, these are spiritual treasures that I specially found for you. After you become familiar with them, use them to fight against enemies!"

Liu Zimo's voice quietly sounded in the ears of the two women.

Immediately after, a divine soul message appeared in their sea of consciousness, explaining how to refine and use these two spiritual treasures.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing treasures upon us!"

Xiaofeihong and Lou Xiaoxiao simultaneously exerted their strength to kill the demonic beasts in front of them.

They reached out their hands to receive the spiritual treasures that appeared in front of them, and thanked their master loudly.

Then, without any hesitation, the two women directly followed the refining method given by their master and separately stored the two spiritual treasures in their own sea of consciousness!
