Just as Xu Ping was preparing to further consolidate his Blood Demon Body Refining, a strong attraction suddenly emanated from the storage ring, as if something was invisibly calling to him.
"What's going on here?"
Xu Ping furrowed his brows, filled with confusion in his heart. He had never felt this way before; could it be the result of breaking through the second layer of Blood Demon Body Refining?
With such doubts in mind, his divine sense invaded the storage ring to search for answers.
Soon, he found the source of that attraction; a red broken knife quietly lying in the corner!
"It's it!!"
Xu Ping's heart trembled; he hadn't expected it to be this terrifying demon cultivator's magical weapon.
This red broken knife had left him with a deep psychological shadow back in the day; he always remembered it, but for now, he had no use for it, so it sat gathering dust in the corner.
Unexpectedly, after breaking through the second layer of Blood Demon Body Refining, this red broken knife seemed like a soul-stealing siren, incessantly attracting him.
"Could it be that the Blood Demon Body Refining and this magical weapon share the same origin, hence the attraction?" Xu Ping suppressed his inner turmoil, pondering secretly.
But he knew nothing about this red broken knife, and naturally couldn't draw any definite conclusions.
"Should I give it a try?" Xu Ping hesitated in his heart.
After all, this was a magical weapon; if he could explore some secrets from it, it would significantly enhance his strength.
What's more, back in the Qi Refining Realm, he was able to forcefully break free from its terrifying killer intent using the Taihang Nourishing God Skill; now that he had achieved Foundation Establishment, and completed the Taihang Nourishing God Skill, there was no reason he couldn't break free.
After pondering for a long time, Xu Ping finally decided to give it a try.
He took out the red broken knife and slowly held it in his hand.
The moment he grasped the red broken knife, his entire head buzzed, and a surge of killer intent rushed into his mind.
His eyes instantly turned blood red.
In fact, this killer intent was just as expected, not difficult to dispel. Under the combined effect of his divine sense and the Taihang Nourishing God Skill, the killer intent was quickly suppressed.
But who would have thought, the killer intent originally rooted out from the Blood Demon Body Refining suddenly emerged from some corner and rushed into his mind.
The combination of both exponentially increased the killer intent within!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
This was the only thought left in his mind.
He was almost about to rush out of the cave mansion to slaughter all life before him.
Buzz!
At this very moment, the Taihang Nourishing God Skill at the Perfection Level suddenly operated at full capacity, and his divine sense completely erupted from the sea of consciousness.
Little by little, it expelled the killer intent from his mind, until he regained clarity.
"This... the broken knife is so terrifying; it can resonate with the killer intent contained in the Blood Demon Body Refining!" Xu Ping, who recovered his consciousness, broke out in cold sweat.
If it weren't for him, even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand the combined killer intent of the two, eventually becoming a monster focused solely on slaughter.
Xu Ping tightly gripped the red broken knife, with no trace of killer intent in his heart, seemingly mastering this demonic magical weapon completely.
For some reason, he felt a surge of desire to swing the knife.
Without hesitation, Xu Ping gripped the broken knife and lightly swung it in the air.
Buzz!
Instantly, the red broken knife in his hand unexpectedly erupted with an unimaginable absorbing force, continuously drawing the liquid mana from his dantian.
"What's happening?"
Xu Ping was shocked in his heart; the red broken knife met the mana as if a bachelor starved for fifty years met a tempting beauty.
He struggled to break free, but the red broken knife seemed to be growing out of his hand, no matter how much force he used, he couldn't shake it off.
He tried to cut off the mana supply, but it had no effect at all; the attraction was too strong, far beyond what he could resist.
So, Xu Ping could only watch helplessly as it devoured his mana like a glutton.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have acted recklessly!"
Faced with such a situation, he could only curse himself and wait silently, hoping the red broken knife would let him go once it was sated.
Buzz!
Accompanied by the red broken knife's constant absorption of mana, a crimson glow appeared around it.
The crimson glow grew ever more intense, so intense that he almost smelled the scent of blood.
However, as Xu Ping's mana gradually reached its limit, the red broken knife's attraction showed no signs of weakening; instead, it seemed to be increasing.
This left Xu Ping dumbfounded; the red broken knife simply couldn't be satisfied.
"Let's see what happens when you've absorbed all the mana!"
Soon, Xu Ping found out what it could do when it absorbed all the mana.
After absorbing all the mana, the red broken knife actually started absorbing his vital blood!
This time, Xu Ping was terrified.
Vital blood, although like mana, could be regenerated through cultivation and pills, but that was only when a small portion was consumed; once vital blood was exhausted, that would mean certain death.
Xu Ping naturally wouldn't allow this red broken knife to continue its absorption.
"Blood Demon True Form!" he shouted lowly.
Instantly, his body began to swell, turning into a giant over four meters high, his entire skin surface shrouded in a dense blood glow.
A power capable of tearing everything apart surged from deep within his body.
"Let go of me!"
Xu Ping roared, bursting out with all his strength, veins comparable to a baby's arm size bulging all over his body.
Determined, no matter what, he would rip the broken knife off!
Yet surprisingly, before Xu Ping exerted much force, the red broken knife's absorption force suddenly disappeared, as if it had never been there.
Whether it was full or for some other reason...
"It's finally over!"
Xu Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief, his back soaked with sweat.
"This damn knife, from now on I..." he couldn't help but curse.
"Wait!"
Just as he was about to toss the red broken knife away, he sensed a terrifying power within it that made him shudder.
This power was so potent, it could almost deal heavy damage or even kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!
"This..."
Cold sweat instantly ran down Xu Ping's body; if this power were to suddenly erupt, even with his physique, he'd be seriously injured.
As he was unsure how to deal with it, he sensed an inexplicable connection between his mind and the red broken knife.
With just a thought, this power could burst forth, shredding everything before him.
"It's good that I can control it!"
Xu Ping's anxious heart finally relaxed; due to the lack of a proper venue to test the power, he could only gradually control it to dissipate.
After all, if this power were to erupt, the second-stage array would surely fail, and Cangyuan Mountain would certainly suffer.
"If this red broken knife could be used in battle, it would definitely become my ace!"
"Once suddenly unleashed, late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't stand a chance, and even a Fake Pill user could be caught off guard, though not killed, injury is certain."
While controlling the red broken knife to slowly disperse its power, Xu Ping couldn't help but consider this possibility, feeling a surge of excitement.
