Chapter 393: The Story of Blood Demon and Saber Devil

"Blood demon race's blood egg?" Xiang Shaoyun was shocked to hear that term .

He had read numerous ancient texts in the past, and he knew that the world was not inhabited by only humans and demonic beasts . There were numerous other races as well, such as the ghostrunes, the cannibals, and the blood demons Devouring Ghost had just mentioned .

The blood demons were extremely vicious and grew through blood consumption . Wherever they went, the place would be reduced to a desolate land of death . Because of that, the blood demons had eventually become a public enemy of numerous other races and had since been hunted to extinction . But a blood egg had actually appeared here . It was understandable why even Devouring Ghost was shocked .

"What a surprise . There is actually a blood egg here? Young master, please bestow it to me," begged Devouring Ghost with a longing look .

Xiang Shaoyun looked at him and asked, "What do you need it for? Why don't we destroy it right now . We can't let it have a chance to rise and bring calamity to the world . "

Devouring Ghost quickly said, "No, no, the blood demons are not as scary as you think . If we use them properly, they will be of great help to us in the future . "

"Oh? Tell me more," Xiang Shaoyun asked curiously .

"The blood demons are extremely bloodthirsty and cruel, and the numerous races have always thought that they had gone extinct . But that is wrong . They are still surviving in a certain land of absolute danger . It is extremely hard to fully eradicate them, but it isn't exactly hard to handle them . They can be easily killed with flame power of extreme yang . Therefore, this race is not really that scary . In fact, only the comparatively weaker organizations and races would fear the blood demons . In truth, not one superpower fears them," explained Devouring Ghost . "This blood egg has yet to transform into a blood demon . I can slowly imbue its soul with my power, slowly eroding its will, before hatching it . I can quickly train it into a powerful blood demon puppet . We can't let this egg go to waste . "

"But if we do that, what if we become the public enemy because of this blood demon?" Xiang Shaoyun asked .

"Only the weak will be afraid of public opinion . The strong will not fear the opinion of anyone," declared Devouring Ghost proudly . "In any case, these blood demon puppets also exist in the many superpowers of the world . Who dares to provoke them? It is tantamount to suicide . In any case, I won't easily free the blood demon before I recover my strength . You don't have to worry, young master . "

Xiang Shaoyun gave it some thought before saying, "Ok . You can have the egg . Do as you see fit . "

Devouring Ghost accepted the blood egg and laughed in a sinister manner, "Good thing the tiny organizations here can't even recognize the blood egg for what it is . Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten such a treasure . "

Xiang Shaoyun could see how much Devouring Ghost liked the gift . Inwardly, he thought, Hopefully he will use this egg properly .

He then took out a stalk of emperor medicine, the time return grass, and gave it to Devouring Ghost as well . The time return grass was capable of removing a cultivator's original astral energy without doing any lasting harm to the cultivator's body . The cultivator would then be able to cultivate an astral energy of a different element from scratch .

Since Devouring Ghost was currently trying to harmonize Linggu Haonan's astral energy with his own, the time return grass would be perfect for him .

Devouring Ghost accepted the time return grass without any hesitation and said in excitement, "With this thing, I will be able to recover my strength much faster . In less than 100 years, my soul foundation will reform . At that time, I can return to the peak, and I can even borrow the power of yin and yang to surpass my previous self . Hahaha!"

Xiang Shaoyun shifted his attention to Du Xuanhao and said, "Big Brother Du, you have just broken through into the ninth-stage . If you want to enter the Sovereign Realm, you will need to learn more from Devouring Ghost . He was once an existence beyond the Soul Foundation Realm . Learning more about the Soul Foundation Realm will be very helpful for your future breakthrough . "

At that, the respect Du Xuanhao had toward Devouring Ghost deepened . He nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, young master . "

Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand . "The stronger you are, the safer I will be, Big Brother Du . With your saber intent, not many people in the same cultivation level can be your match . But you will definitely encounter more strong opponents in the future, and they might be people who have also comprehended an intent . Therefore, you have to keep growing . Only then will you be able to help me when the time comes . "

"Don't worry, young master . I will do my best to grow," promised Du Xuanhao .

Xiang Shaoyun smiled . "I believe in you . If you can hone your saber intent to the limits, very few people will be your match . "

"If he really intends to step on the path of saber intent, I have a way to help him," interrupted Devouring Ghost .

"Oh? What do you have in mind?" Xiang Shaoyun asked in astonishment .

Du Xuanhao had a longing look on his face as he said, "Please offer me your guidance, Lord Devouring Ghost . "

Although his current cultivation level was higher than Devouring Ghost's, he did not think that he would be able to defeat Devouring Ghost . In any case, he also believed that Devouring Ghost would soon catch up to him in cultivation level . Thus, he was ever careful to remain humble before him .

Devouring Ghost said, "The Nine Gods Dominion is incredibly vast, and countless geniuses have appeared over the years . Almost every 10,000 years, a new batch of super talented experts would appear . Among these geniuses that have once appeared, the strongest saber user ever is the Devil Saber from the ancient times . The Devil Saber was someone who had spent his entire life with the saber and had transformed into a devil through the saber, achieving the peak of strength . It was rumored that he had surpassed the three stages of weapon intent consisting of human weapon unity, steering weapon stage, and weaponless stage . He had reached a brand new height nobody had reached before, but it's a pity as it was rumored that he had sustained grave injuries during his battle with the ancient Sword God and had ultimately passed away in meditation . "

Traces of admiration appeared in Devouring Ghost's eyes as he spoke of this Saber Devil . One could see how strong this Saber Devil was . He was absolutely one of the figureheads representing the peak of strength .

"Do you happen to know where the Saber Devil passed away?" Xiang Shaoyun asked .

Devouring Ghost said praisingly, "Yes, young master . Although that isn't exactly right, but you almost got it right . " He looked at Du Xuanhao and continued, "I know of a secret land where the Saber Devil once trained the saber . Although it is not the place he had passed, it still contains part of his inheritance . If you can obtain it and reach perhaps half or even one third of the Saber Devil's strength, you will be at the peak of the world . "

Du Xuanhao's pupils shrank, and his eyes were filled with a burning desire . He bowed down to Devouring Ghost and said, "Please point me to the location, Lord Devouring Ghost . "

He was a person infatuated with the saber . He wouldn't have been able to comprehend the saber intent and come to be known as the Saber Emperor otherwise . It was therefore understandable how enticing the inheritance of the Saber Devil was to him . He was certain that so long as he could obtain the inheritance, revenge would no longer be so difficult to obtain .

"Don't worry . As long as you remain loyal to the young master, I will ensure that you get this inheritance," Devouring Ghost said, but he did not reveal everything at once . "We will talk again when we reach the Bloodsin City . That secret land is outside the Western Desert . "

The Nine Gods Dominion was separated into nine regions, with the Western Desert being one of them . This signified that to obtain the Saber Devil inheritance, they would have to leave the region .
