Practice begins with immortality

As time ticked by, a blood-red sword embryo gradually emerged before Wang Bo. Without hesitation, he continued to draw upon his own Essence, pouring it continuously into the sword embryo. Thanks to the miraculous power of the light ball, even if Essence was consumed immensely, it could be replenished in just a few breaths. According to the secret technique, the more Essence one invests in forging a weapon, the higher the quality of the resulting weapon.

After three long hours, the blood-red sword embryo had quietly transformed into a black longsword three feet long and three fingers wide. The blade was completely black, as if carved from black jade, exuding a mysterious and majestic aura.

"It seems that I have reached my limit." Wang Bai keenly noticed that the black sword had taken shape and was no longer absorbing his essence, so he decisively stopped the operation of the secret technique.

At this moment, the black sword hovered quietly in the air, like a brilliant star. Its blade, like a crystal, shimmered with a crystalline light, as if possessed of life, flowing and whirling. Wang Bai took a deep breath, slowly extended his right hand, and firmly grasped the hilt. In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged. A blood-red aura of evil spread rapidly in all directions, centered around Wang Bai, like a surging torrent. Wherever this powerful force passed, everything was destroyed. The already dilapidated Sutra Library was instantly reduced to dust, disappearing without a trace.

"It's a top-grade magic weapon as soon as it comes out, and its power is far stronger than ordinary top-grade magic weapons. It's worth the huge amount of essence I invested in it." Wang Bai said to himself while stroking the sword.

"You are made of blood soul, so let's just call you the Blood Soul Killing Sword. The previous attack is called the Blood Gang Sha." Wang Baiyu thought to himself while using the killing sword.

The Blood Soul Killing Sword is worthy of being his life-long possession. It is connected to Wang Bai's mind and is like a part of his body. He can control it as easily as breathing.

After practicing a set of sword techniques using the killing sword, Wang Bai took out the magic weapon he had previously obtained from the demon spirit from his storage bag.

However, the moment he unsheathed the magic weapon, a strange feeling washed over him. The magic weapon, as if struck by a tremendous impact, began to tremble, as if deeply terrified of the Blood Soul Killing Sword. At the same time, the Blood Soul Killing Sword exuded a powerful aura, revealing a desire to destroy and devour the magic weapon.

"It seems this magic weapon was also forged using the Life-Slaying Soul-Snatching Technique, but neither its rank nor the essence invested in its forging is as good as the Blood Soul Killing Sword. Furthermore, it appears that magic weapons can devour each other."

"It seems Li Ren didn't acquire the secret technique by chance, but rather someone deliberately did it. The moment Li Ren condensed his demonic weapon, he was destined to become the necessities for the person behind it to advance. But at that time, he didn't think about it, nor did he want to think about it." Thinking of this, Wang Bai sighed inwardly. He seemed to see a conspirator hiding in the shadows, throwing out bait, waiting for someone to take the bait. But Wang Bai didn't worry about it. 30,000 years had passed, and the person behind the scenes had long since turned to dust.

Afterwards, Wang Bai took the Blood Soul Killing Sword into his body and planned to leave here and head to the most central area of ​​the ruins. That was where the competition was the most intense, and ordinary Jindan would not dare to go there. However -

"With my strength, no one in the ruins can be my opponent." Wang Bai thought to himself.

The perfected Golden Core Body Refining Realm, the 99% True Intention Realm, and the powerful Blood Soul Killing Sword—any of these three qualities would have made any other cultivator a top-tier prodigy, let alone Wang Bai, who possessed all three. It could be said that no one within the Golden Core realm could rival Wang Bai. Even a Nascent Soul True Lord could defeat him if he wielded the Desolate Heavenly Essence.

Afterwards, Wang Bai turned into a beam of light and flew away from here, but not long after, a blood-colored beam of light appeared in front of Wang Bai and stopped him.

Afterwards, the blood-colored light transformed into a person, who was Zhang Wan, the disciple of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall who followed Li Youying.

"Haha, seeing you are in such a hurry, could it be that you have obtained some incredible treasure?" Zhang Wan said with a smile, but his eyes were always fixed on Wang Bai.

Wang Bai stopped and looked at Zhang Wan expressionlessly, "What advice do you have for me, Excellency?"

Zhang Wan chuckled, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes: "To be honest, I have always liked collecting all kinds of treasures. If you are willing to show me what you just got, maybe we can exchange them. I promise that you will not suffer any loss." As he spoke, he specially showed off the bulging storage bag on his waist, indicating that he did have a lot of good things.

But Wang Bai remained calm and said lightly: "Are you talking about this, sir?" After that, he summoned the Blood Soul Killing Sword.

Zhang Wan's eyes widened instantly, and he looked greedily at the Blood Soul Killing Sword in Wang Bai's hand, muttering to himself: "It is this sword, it is indeed a rare treasure!" He could tell at a glance that this was a magic weapon, and it was very powerful. For a magic cultivator like him, it was simply a great help.

"How about it, fellow Daoist? I'm willing to exchange two hundred mid-grade spirit stones for this sword. However, I don't have that many mid-grade spirit stones on me right now. How about we go together first, and I'll give you the spirit stones after we get out?" Zhang Wan said to Wang Bai. However, in response, he was met with a sharp sword energy.
