Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 405 - 148: Strands of White Hair Birth the Demon Blade, The Youth’s Heroic Spirit Provokes Vexation
"Demon Blade."
"It continuously corrodes the user’s power, but the more it corrodes, the more it makes the user frenzied. Whether in speed, strength, or reaction, everything will be significantly enhanced."
"Moreover...
after the user stops using it, or if the user suffers fatal damage, it will return all the previously corroded power, as well as the user’s own depleted power, all at once."
After returning it, the blade will fall into silence, and will take several hours to revive. The exact number of hours needs testing."
"Apart from that...
it seems there’s another feature, which is that it doesn’t need to be hung in a place full of human energy for ten months."
In other words, it can be used now...
Indeed, it has absorbed thirty years of life force, what need is there for that ten months of human energy?"
Li Yuan was silent for a while.
Jing Banfeng cultivated the "Evergreen Technique," and the Fifth Grade who cultivate the "Evergreen Technique" usually forge spiritual artifacts that serve to "restore one’s own strength," "self-repair of the spiritual artifact," and so on...
But the thirty years of life force he added transformed the original "restoration" into "corrosion, self-enhancement, and power return, with the added bonus of returning the user’s depleted power," an enhancement beyond measure.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t use this weapon, so he couldn’t witness the improvement in strength...
He quietly waited.
At the foot of the mountain, Jing Banfeng and Cui Wuji, upon hearing the calming commotion, simultaneously flew to the mountain’s peak.
The moment they reached the peak, both were shocked...
"Master Li, your... your hair..." Cui Wuji stared in shock at Li Yuan.
In front of him, although the young man still appeared the same, a few strands of white hair had appeared among his black locks, and he seemed inexplicably older.
"No matter..."
Li Yuan rasped out, waving his hand, and then looked at Jing Banfeng, saying, "Patriarch, give it a try."
"Oh, I... I’ll take it home to hang first, to cultivate it." Jing Banfeng was familiar with the process.
Li Yuan smiled lightly, "No need, it can be used now."
"Really?" Jing Banfeng was astonished. As he received the blade Li Yuan handed him, a sense of "blood connection" surged within him, along with an indescribable feeling.
In Li Yuan’s eyes, Jing Banfeng’s original stats of "1380~2880" abruptly changed to "1380~5672."
The lower limit remained unchanged, but the upper limit saw a terrifying increase.
Bear in mind that Gu Xuejian, as the Vice Hall Master and a Fifth Grade Great Perfection with five threads of Origin Blood, only had "2548~6536."
But Li Yuan also knew that this "5672" was likely just a fleeting burst of power, a surge before the power is exhausted.
Yet, it was important to know, this "power nearly exhausted" was just an illusion, as in the next instant... the user’s power would be fully restored.
Formerly, without this blade, Jing Banfeng encountering Cui Wuji would likely need to escape after a while due to a slight disadvantage.
But now, the "apparently dying" Jing Banfeng could take down a Cui Wuji with a single stroke...
"Terrifying... truly terrifying..."
Jing Banfeng explored the power of this spiritual artifact, while inadvertently voicing some sounds.
The shock in his pupils gradually surfaced.
He found himself at a loss for words.
This was an unprecedented spiritual artifact, even calling it the "Fifth Grade top-tier spiritual artifact" wouldn’t do it justice.
"Master Li! Master Li!!"
The shock in Jing Banfeng’s eyes melted into sheer joy and ecstasy.
"Master Li!!"
He excitedly shouted this name.
"Thank you! Thank you!!!"
Jing Banfeng was overwhelmed.
The more he understood the power of the blade in his hand, the more overwhelmed he became.
In comparison, Master Gong’s blade could almost turn into a "Flying Blade" now.
This spiritual artifact... this spiritual artifact is unmatched, unbeatable!
Better than Lady Hall Master’s!
Better than the family’s Ancestor’s!
Jing Banfeng felt an overwhelming happiness, akin to when he had painstakingly broken through to the Fifth Grade years ago.
"Thank you, Master Li, truly thank you..." he said, tears of excitement welling up.
Cui Wuji’s eyelid twitched, staring at the blade, but the blade being sheathed revealed nothing to him.
"Patriarch Jing, unsheath it and see."
"I won’t."
After realizing the blade’s capabilities, Jing Banfeng had decided to keep the blade as his ace.
Cui Wuji frowned, fuming, "Master Li is here, with my friendship with him, wouldn’t he tell me? Besides, your spiritual artifacts, changing back and forth, the styles are just a few types, what’s there to hide?"
Only then did Jing Banfeng reluctantly unsheathe the blade, revealing the chaotic, eye-tormenting blade pattern.
"Demon Blade!"
Cui Wuji immediately recognized, then asked, "How did your blood forge a Demon Blade? That’s impossible... Wait, what are this blade’s abilities?"
Jing Banfeng glanced at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan had already risen, leaning on a wooden staff and staggered to the cliff’s edge, gazing into the distance, then laughed heartily and exuberantly to the sky, as if he had tirelessly pursued a certain goal, ascended a particular peak, and finally achieved it.
"Hahaha!"
The laughter caused the two to pause.
But soon, the laughter turned into coughing.
Jing Banfeng ignored Cui Wuji, walking to Li Yuan’s side, waiting for him to stop before respectfully and gratefully saying, "Master Li, I truly don’t know how to thank you."
Cui Wuji called from behind, "Tell me its abilities."
As the words fell, they saw Li Yuan stumble.
Jing Banfeng hurriedly supported him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He had roughly guessed how much effort Li Yuan had put into this spiritual artifact, but he was not surprised, for... Li Yuan was a true Weapon Forger.
