Chapter 394: 394
A medium-sized waterfall was at the bottom of the valley . The pond underneath it shone a faint turquoise light .
The light shone through the water and climbed several meters up along with the watery mist . The whole scene was cold and mysterious as if it was the home of an immortal .
When Lu Sheng and his followers arrived, the place was still deathly quiet, not affected by the commotion outside at all . No sounds could be heard at all .
The avatar of King of Shadows walked beside the pond and touched the surface .
He turned and confirmed, "It's here . "
"Get ready to move . " Lu Sheng nodded . "No failure will be tolerated . "
This water-type Divine Weapon was the key reason why he targeted the Black Deer Tribe . They had their connections in the imperial court, so Lu Sheng wouldn't have randomly attacked them otherwise .
Both Elder Stone and King of Shadows knew the truth about Lu Sheng . Even though they didn't know why he needed Divine Weapons, they had to put in effort since they voluntarily joined the Prime Devil Sect and accepted Lu Sheng as their sect master .
Two Devil Kings, as well as an avatar, spread to three places and surrounded the pond in a triangular formation .
Lu Sheng himself walked in front of the pond .
"Whoosh . "
A faint golden light membrane immediately spread across his body . It was a True Qi Black Membrane he formed using the Thousand Sun Sect's special golden True Qi .
Such was the rule of this world—no matter what energy or system you cultivated under, you would eventually start emulating Divine Weapons or Devil Blades .
Any energy, provided that it was powerful enough, could be formed into Black Membrane, which in turn would improve the body's regenerative ability, strength, as well as speed .
That was the biggest difference between cultivators and ordinary mortals .
The golden True Qi surrounding Lu Sheng's body seemed endless . Though it seemed like a faint layer of golden mist, it was abnormally concentrated and refused to dissipate, constantly circling through several meters of space around Lu Sheng .
He stepped down into the pond . A masterless Divine Weapon or Devil Blade, one that could very well be at Golden Leaf grade, would benefit him immensely . It was precisely what the Infinity Technique needed to reach the next phase . Hence, he would never allow it to escape .
The water was extremely icy and cold . The flowing golden True Qi Black Membrane immediately slowed down, and a thin layer of frost started to climb up the moment Lu Sheng entered the water .
"Ultimate Crimson . " Lu Sheng stayed calm . It was only the first battle, and he had no intention of using the power of his physical body, instead relying purely on the Yang Essence of his Infinity Technique .
He hadn't had the time to test the power of the Infinity Technique yet .
As Lu Sheng spoke, a speck of golden light, Yang Essence, lit up on his fingertips and immediately started to turn red and heat up . In an instant, it turned into Ultimate Crimson Liquid Qi, and floated on top of his finger like a drop of red ink .
"Go . " He lightly threw out the red droplet .
It flew outward steadily and somehow forced back the pond water within a two-meter radius, forming an airtight bubble .
Lu Sheng slowly walked deeper into the pond inside of the bubble .
It got colder as he dove down deeper, and the turquoise color got more and more intense .
He dove down for several tens of meters, but still didn't see the bottom .
He frowned in suspicion .
The scent of a Divine Weapon was clearly in the depths, like it was only an inch away .
"As long as it's still here . " He calmed down, and continued going down .
After diving another ten or so meters, a slight noise, almost like a balloon leaking air, abruptly came from the surrounding water .
Lu Sheng looked toward the sound and saw a turquoise dragon, its body filled with white spikes of ice, sleeping coiled among the mud at the bottom of the pond . The noise was its breathing .
The green dragon was a couple tens of meters long, had five claws on its belly, two pairs of horns, and looked similar to any other dragon described in legends . But the strangest and also the most unique thing about it was its single eye .
It almost took up the majority of the space on the dragon's head, and seemed to be natural rather than being some kind of mutation .
Lu Sheng looked around, and his gaze soon fell on the center of the green dragon's body . A speck of green light was slowly flashing .
"Xuan Mist . " He sent out his voice, which instantly reached the green dragon through the water .
It slowly opened its single eye, and it felt like a small sun had risen inside the water . The temperature dropped even lower . Even the red droplet of liquid in front of Lu Sheng shrunk a bit, though it quickly stopped .
"Who are you?" The green dragon stared cautiously at Lu Sheng with its icy eye .
"You are Xuan Mist?" He sized up the green dragon curiously . This was technically the first time he talked to a whole, normal Golden Leaf grade Divine Weapon without a master .
"I assume you want to bond with me too? You know my requirement, right? At least 1,000 people as a sacrifice per year," Xuan Mist said in a flat and cold tone .
"1,000 people?" Lu Sheng was speechless, and finally understood why no one in the Black Deer Tribe had bonded with this thing .
Logically speaking, A Divine Weapon or Devil Blade should require the least amount of sacrifice before bonding, then increase its requirement as it got stronger .
