Blood Splashing Five Steps

Zhuowen carefully took the Fuxi Cauldron from Cangjie with a solemn expression.

The Fuxi Cauldron had undergone a drastic change from before. Its appearance and aura had become much stronger. Cangjie's power, in particular, was a peak Demigod's power.

Whoosh!

The moment the Fuxi Cauldron landed in Zhuowen's hand, a yellow-furred fox leaped out from the cauldron on a divine turtle. The yellow-furred fox stared at Cangjie and asked, "My lord, do you know where my master, Fuxi, is?"

Cangjie glanced at Cheng Huang indifferently and said, "Your master is now Zhuowen, not Fuxi."

Cheng Huang was unwilling to give up. Its eyes flickered and it continued to ask, "My lord, I know my master is not dead. Can you tell me about him?"

Cangjie sighed and said, "Fuxi is indeed not dead. He gave up the Fuxi Cauldron on his own accord because he felt guilty and could not bear the responsibility of the past. So, he is no longer your master. Even if you see him, he will not acknowledge you."

Cheng Huang trembled and a trace of sadness appeared in its eyes. It said, "It was not my master's fault back then. I can only blame myself for being too weak and causing my master to fail his mission …"

"Everything is in the past. Zhuowen is now the true Chosen One. Once the dust has settled on the Heavenly Armor Planet, you will naturally see your master," Cangjie said with a wave of his hand.

Cheng Huang fell silent. It bowed to Cangjie and re-entered the Fuxi Cauldron.

Zhuowen watched all of this silently. He knew that something must have happened between Fuxi and the Fuxi Cauldron that caused the Fuxi Cauldron to shatter and Fuxi's whereabouts to be unknown.

"If Fuxi is really not dead, then where is he?" Zhuowen slowly raised his head with a thoughtful expression.

Suddenly, Cangjie's gaze fell on the mysterious scabbard floating not far from Zhuowen. His eyes were filled with surprise. He said, "Zhanbi's Blood Splashing Five Steps?

Where did you get it? "

Since Cangjie asked, Zhuowen naturally told him the whole story of how he got the mysterious scabbard.

After listening to Zhuowen's story, Cangjie sighed and said, "Zhan Bi is a Demigod expert second only to me. He is very young and has not practiced for a long time, but he can reach the Demigod level. It can be said that he was a real genius in antiquity times."

At this point, Cangjie looked at the mysterious scabbard and continued, "This scabbard has been with Zhan Bi since he started practicing martial arts. It has accompanied Zhan Bi for countless years."

"In that era, when Zhan Bi was still weak, he was fearless in the face of an expert who was much stronger than him. He drew his sword and killed the expert who wanted to oppress him. That battle shook the entire Heavenly Armor Continent. Zhan Bi named the scabbard Blood Splashing Five Steps."

At this point, Cangjie hooked his right hand and the scabbard uncontrollably flew from Zhuowen to his hand. Then Cangjie slowly rubbed the bloodstains on the surface of the scabbard.

"Zhan Bi is the most talented and brave man I have ever seen. The reason why I was able to seal the Divine Sparring Spear was because of Zhan Bi's sacrifice. Since you can get Zhan Bi's Blood Splashing Five Steps, it means that you are destined to have this scabbard."

At this point, Cangjie took out a black iron sword from his sleeve.

The surface of the iron sword was as smooth as water and emitted a bright light.

When Zhuo Wen's gaze landed on the metal sword, his pupils constricted. He sized up the metal sword for a long time and realized that it was an extremely ordinary metal sword. It was not even a Numinous Treasure, but was made of ordinary metal.

"The Blood Splashing Five Steps had followed Zhan Bi for countless years. It had always been an ordinary scabbard and Zhan Bi had never refined it into a powerful Spiritual Treasure or even a Divine Weapon."

"The moment Zhan Bi ascended from the True Immortal Peak to the Half God Realm, the scabbard absorbed a strand of Star God Power from Zhan Bi's ascension to the Half God Realm. The scabbard underwent a metamorphosis, directly transforming from an ordinary item into a Sub-God Equipment."

At this point, Cangjie twisted his right hand and held the hilt of the iron sword. He inserted the iron sword into the scabbard accurately. Then Zhuowen clearly felt that the iron sword and the scabbard seemed to have a strange resonance at this moment.

With the resonance, a powerful force that made Zhuowen's mind tremble gushed out from the iron sword.

Clang!

Cangjie slowly pulled out the iron sword. Zhuowen's face changed slowly, becoming aghast and incredulous.

This was because at this moment, the ordinary iron sword had undergone an earth-shattering change the moment it was unsheathed. The originally ordinary blade had become even sharper, even more dazzling, and even more frightening.

At the instant the iron sword was completely unsheathed, a sword light that blazed like the sun surged out from the tip of the sword. It stimulated Zhuo Wen to the point he couldn't help but close his eyes, and it shocked Zhuo Wen to the point his heart stopped beating.

Clang!

Cangjie suddenly put the iron sword back into the scabbard. The sharp and horrible spirit produced at the moment when the sword was pulled out disappeared instantly. The hall returned to tranquility.

"Is this the real mystery of the Blood Splashing Five Steps?

The mystery of turning something rotten into something magical? "Zhuowen's heart thumped wildly. He stared at the mysterious scabbard in Cangjie's hand in shock.

"Zhan Bi only used five swords in his life. One step represents one sword. When he used all five steps and five swords, he would not attack again. Because victory or defeat had been decided in those five steps. That year, when he was fighting with God Gange, Zhan Bi used the sixth sword, which was the last sword he used at the cost of his life. This sword injured God Gange …"

Cangjie's eyes were full of reminiscence. There was even a touch of admiration in this reminiscence.

Zhuowen could not help admiring Cangjie. Although he had never seen Zhan Bi with his own eyes and had only seen his head, he knew that it required great talent and strength to be able to injure God Gange in the Demigod Realm.

"Zhuowen, take this sword!"

Cangjie threw the scabbard and the iron sword to Zhuowen with his right hand. He continued, "The limit of the Blood Splashing Five Steps is five swords. When you want to use the sixth sword, you have to pay with your life. So, don't use the sixth sword unless you have to."

Receiving the Blood Splashing Five Steps and the iron sword, Zhuowen's eyes became cautious. He nodded to Cangjie and said in a low voice, "Predecessor, don't worry. I understand."

Rumble!

Cangjie nodded slightly. When he was about to say something, his face changed dramatically. Blue veins bulged on his face as he showed a painful face.

At the same time, the terrifying black veins around the large hall began to surge wildly. The large hall also began to tremble violently following the craziness of the black veins. Countless rock fragments fell from the top of the large hall, lifting a terrifying dust cloud.

"Zhuowen, go quickly. Remember to bring Devour's infant here. I don't have much time left!"

Cangjie roared from the throne. He waved his sleeve, and an invisible wind roared. Then, Zhuowen felt his body was as light as a feather as he flew out of the hall.

When Zhuowen opened his eyes again, he was already outside Devour's left eye.

After Zhuowen left the hall, a black-cloaked man slowly came to the hall where Cangjie was. He silently gazed at Cangjie's ferocious face and said, "Predecessor Cangjie, I've come as we agreed."

Cangjie's eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes crazy. The black-cloaked man frowned.

"I've prepared the thing you want. Take it. Remember, you have to help Zhuowen get Devour's infant …"

Cangjie gritted his teeth. He waved his sleeve and handed a black crystal to the black-cloaked man.

The black-cloaked man received the black crystal. After observing it for a while, he clasped his fists at Cangjie. Then, he stomped his right foot and left the hall.

"Where's the First Mountain God?"

Zhuowen gazed at Devour's left eye, which was about to close. He looked around but didn't see the First Mountain God. He knitted his brows.

Swoosh!

Right before Devour's left eye closed, a figure dashed out of it. Zhuowen fixed his eyes on it and found that it was the First Mountain God.

The First Mountain God glided to Zhuo Wen, assessing him from head to toe. Then, he looked at the wound on Devour's body and said, "Zhuo Wen, should we enter Devour's body now?"

Zhuowen gazed at the First Mountain God. The First Mountain God had entered the left eye with him, but they were separated. Zhuowen thought that the First Mountain God would come out earlier than him. He didn't expect that the First Mountain God would come out later than him.

Although the First Mountain God's behavior wasn't suspicious, Zhuowen vaguely felt that the First Mountain God had another purpose for entering the left eye.

"Yeah!

Let's get in. "

Zhuowen nodded and didn't say anything. He stomped his foot and dashed into the wound.

The First Mountain God silently gazed at Zhuowen's back. He squinted and chuckled, "This kid has a keen observation!"

When Zhuowen and the First Mountain God entered Devour's body through the wound, they felt as if they had fallen into a swamp. It was as if many invisible forces were squeezing their bodies. It wasn't a pleasant feeling at all.

"Devour's body is similar to the starry sky. However, the formidable resistance from the starry sky is much smaller. Ordinary warriors at the Heaven Immortal Realm or above can endure this kind of resistance. However, in this environment, their speed will be reduced a lot."

The First Mountain God's body emitted a dark gold light, making him look like a God of War in golden armor. The formidable pressure around him was instantly offset.

Zhuo Wen had also used his Perfect Saint Body, and he was barely able to withstand the terrifying resistance that was pressing down on him.

Zhuowen looked around and found many twinkling stars in front of him. However, most of these stars were dim, like candles in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.

Zhuowen didn't hurry to take action. Instead, he used his Divine Sense to spread out in front of him.

Although Zhuowen's cultivation was only at the late stage of the Heaven Immortal Realm and there was a huge gap between him and a True Immortal Realm expert, Zhuowen's Divine Sense was different. This was because he had the Primitive Talisman in his Sea of Consciousness. This Primitive Talisman contained rich Origin Energy.

By relying on the origin energy, the senses of Zhuo Wen's soul could reach back to the origin. As a result, the senses of his soul could extend to infinitely far places, just like when he comprehended the Dao Intent within the boulder.
