Chapter 324: Devouring Weapons
The Red Blood Saber wants to devour this Profound Soldier?
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit absurd.
However, the thought from the Divine Weapon was undeniably accurate, leaving no room for false judgments.
It truly wanted to eat iron!
Zhang Yuan weighed the Iron Long Spear in his hand.
This Profound Soldier, originally belonging to Yan Qingshan, weighed over three hundred jin, something an ordinary person couldn’t even lift. Its material was clearly a treasure of nature.
The value of a Profound Soldier needs no further explanation; this Iron Long Spear should have been the Yan Family’s treasured weapon, enough to establish the impressive reputation of a Tier Five powerhouse when combined with corresponding spear techniques and techniques.
From the moment Zhang Yuan got it, he sensed the powerful spirituality contained within the spear.
Previously, during his fierce battle with Yan Qingshan, he truly experienced the might of this Profound Soldier.
If it weren’t for his Taowu Saber being an equally powerful existence, supplemented by the power of the three Divine Nest Hosts, he would have had no chance to withstand, let alone win the battle.
The Taowu Saber and the spear clashed countless times, yet the spear showed no signs of damage.
So even if Zhang Yuan couldn’t use it, selling it would fetch a sky-high price.
Feeding it to the Red Blood Saber like this, isn’t it a bit of a waste of a treasure?
Zhang Yuan shook his head and suddenly raised his hand to toss the Iron Long Spear high into the air!
The Profound Soldier, although good, couldn’t compare to his own Divine Weapon!
The suspended Red Blood Saber rejoiced, suddenly emitting intense blood light that enveloped the Iron Long Spear.
The Iron Long Spear immediately trembled violently, the spearhead and butt bouncing up and down, desperately shaking the red tassel.
The battle array killing aura surged out.
Yet it was firmly suppressed by the Red Blood Saber, and no matter how much it struggled, it couldn’t break free from the shackles of the sword aura.
The surface of this indestructible spear began showing signs of melting!
The Profound Soldier wailed, seemingly aware of its impending doom.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan even sensed the thought being transmitted by the Iron Long Spear.
It was begging for mercy, willing to submit to Zhang Yuan!
Zhang Yuan was speechless.
It’s worth noting that when Zhang Yuan first got the Iron Long Spear, the spirituality of this Profound Soldier was very fierce, even trying to resist his grip with its inherent battle array killing aura.
This fully demonstrates how well Yan Qingshan had nurtured it, possibly accompanying it day and night, even while sleeping and bathing, never parting from it.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a deep bond!
But with Yan Qingshan’s death, the Iron Long Spear became an ownerless object.
The imprint left by the previous owner on the spear can completely wear off bit by bit.
Then, by subduing the Profound Soldier’s spirituality, it could be taken as one’s own.
But Zhang Yuan didn’t have that much leisure time!
Moreover, he didn’t have the matching spear techniques and techniques, making it difficult to ensure the full potential of this Profound Soldier could be realized.
Besides, Zhang Yuan practiced the Saber Technique!
If the Iron Long Spear had submitted to him right from the start, perhaps he would have considered it.
Now it’s too late!
Under Zhang Yuan’s indifferent gaze, the Iron Long Spear visibly shattered and melted, its spirituality being drawn out by the blood light, merging into the Red Blood Saber.
Until the Profound Soldier turned into countless tiny iron fragments, scattering and falling to the ground.
The whole process lasted about half an hour.
And after devouring the Iron Long Spear, the Red Blood Divine Soldiers grew about an inch longer, with an additional silver line on the blade.
It circled Zhang Yuan twice, buzzing with excitement and gratitude.
Compared to before, its spirituality noticeably improved!
Zhang Yuan tried using the Divine Control Technique to manipulate it, realizing that his control over this Divine Weapon had simultaneously strengthened, and the consumption of True Essence decreased accordingly.
He suddenly realized he might have found the correct way to unlock the Red Blood Saber!
Zhang Yuan had possessed this Divine Weapon for a long time, and had consequently comprehended both the Divine Treasure Technique and Divine Defense, using them to nurture and control it.
With the help of this Divine Weapon, he had repeatedly defeated formidable enemies, considering it his strongest trump card!
But Zhang Yuan was well aware that his grasp and understanding of the Red Blood Saber was still superficial, without truly delving deep into it.
It’s important to know that initially, he needed to consume his own essence blood or siphon the enemy’s essence blood to ensure it could be wielded at crucial moments.
Now, looking back, this was undoubtedly a helpless act of desperation!
Even though he had comprehended the Divine Treasure Technique and mastered the nurturing method, Zhang Yuan could only manage to unleash a lethal strike at the enemy with the Red Blood Saber without consuming essence blood.
Only a single strike!
Now Zhang Yuan realized that the Red Blood Saber could also grow by devouring the spirituality of Profound Soldiers.
Or rather, recover?
Thinking about it, Zhang Yuan decisively tossed out the Jade Dagger left behind by the old man in the black robe.
This thing was likely also a Profound Soldier.
Sure enough, the Red Blood Saber didn’t hesitate, once again releasing its blood light to envelop the dagger.
The quality of the Jade Dagger was clearly inferior to the Iron Long Spear, and it was consumed completely in no time, not even leaving any residue!
This Profound Soldier also had spirituality, but it was deeply hidden, and Zhang Yuan didn’t feel it when he picked it up.
But under the erosion of the Red Blood Saber, it was completely untraceable.
After "eating" the Jade Dagger, the Red Blood Saber became even more excited, vibrating constantly in front of Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan’s face immediately darkened.
Because his "feeding" had obviously stirred up the saber’s greed, it was now eyeing the Taowu Saber!
Zhang Yuan could part with captured Profound Soldiers, but he would never also offer the Taowu Saber to it.
Because this Profound Soldier was both a symbol of the Dharma Guardian Divine General’s identity and the most handy weapon he currently possessed.
Most importantly, Zhang Yuan could openly use the Taowu Saber.
The Red Blood Saber had to be hidden away, so that no one would discover his secret of owning a Divine Weapon!
So there was no way the Taowu Saber could be sacrificed.
Zhang Yuan immediately deployed the Divine Control Technique, instantly drawing the Red Blood Saber back into his body.
To appease this repeatedly outstanding Divine Weapon, he assured it through his consciousness connection that next time he acquired Profound Soldier spoils, he would definitely feed them to it.
Only then did the Red Blood Saber cease its restlessness and obediently conceal itself in the Qi Sea Dantian!
Zhang Yuan secretly wiped away his sweat.
The increase in the Red Blood Saber’s spirituality wasn’t all positive!
It felt like raising a troublesome child.
It had to be fed and coddled, and its temperament had to be indulged!
Thinking about it made him feel drunk.
With things finally wrapped up, Zhang Yuan set off to leave.
As he left, he noticed that Liao Chen, the first one he killed, had his body turned into a pool of goo.
It was likely that the old man in the black robe had also poisoned him.
This guy was really pitiful, serving as cannon fodder without even realizing it, doomed to disappear regardless of whether Zhang Yuan lived or died today.
Well, at least it ended in a clean sweep!
Zhang Yuan, although leaving empty-handed, having only fought a fierce battle, seemingly got nothing.
In fact, his gains were substantial.
He couldn’t wait to return home to carefully assess today’s fortunes and losses.
