Chapter 14778 Master
Deep within the cave, the spiritual energy is abundant and extremely hidden, making it difficult for people to discover.
He took out the high-grade holy rune stone he had obtained from Jiang Xuanwu, held it in his hand, and asked Xia Ming in his mind, "Sister Xia Ming, what exactly is the use of this high-grade holy rune stone? You just said it's for strengthening holy runes, but what exactly can it strengthen?"
Xia Ming's voice slowly rang out, carrying a hint of explanation:
"This is a one-star high-grade enhanced holy rune stone. Its core function is to enhance your physical body, spiritual power, and holy rune power. It can greatly improve your combat power in a short period of time, and there are no side effects. As long as you activate it, you can borrow its power."
Try it and you'll see its power.
A hint of doubt flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he asked again, "How do I use it? Although I am skilled in the art of holy runes, I have never come into contact with holy rune stones from outside the realm before, and I do not know how to activate them, so I can only ask you."
Xia Ming smiled and said, "It's very simple. You just need to probe your divine sense into the sacred rune stone, refine and control the sacred rune power within it, and then activate it to integrate it into your body, and you will be able to unleash its power."
Ling Xiao did as instructed, closed his eyes, and slowly probed a wisp of pure divine sense into the high-grade holy rune stone in his hand.
Inside the Sacred Rune Stone lies a vast and pure Sacred Rune power, flowing like a rushing river within the stone.
Ling Xiao carefully enveloped the power of these sacred runes with his divine sense, refining and controlling them little by little. After a short while, he completely mastered the power of the sacred rune stones.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his fingertips twitching slightly as he activated the power of the Sacred Rune Stone. In an instant, the high-grade Sacred Rune Stone in his hand transformed into a dazzling stream of light, flowing directly into his body.
boom……!!!
With a loud bang, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Ling Xiao's body, and golden holy runes surged out from his body.
Burning like flames, the entire cave trembled violently, and the surrounding spiritual energy frantically converged towards him, being devoured and refined by the power of the holy runes within his body.
Ling Xiao clenched his fists tightly, feeling his whole body filled with surging power, his limbs and bones screaming as if he had inexhaustible strength.
He could clearly feel that the strength of his physical body, the purity of his spiritual power, and the power of his holy runes had all more than doubled!
Originally, it could only barely contend with the combat power of the early stage of the Returning to Truth Realm, but now it is showing signs of approaching the middle stage of the Returning to Truth Realm.
This was his first experience with the power of a high-grade holy rune stone, and he couldn't help but marvel at its strength, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes... With this holy rune stone, his ability to protect himself outside the realm had been greatly enhanced.
At this moment, he was full of confidence, his aura sharp and fierce, as if he could easily kill a high-level master with just one punch. He was even confident that he could contend with a martial artist in the early stage of the Returning to Truth Realm.
Xia Ming's voice rang out at the opportune moment, carrying a hint of approval:
"How about that? This is the power of a high-grade holy rune stone, isn't it? But this is only a one-star high-grade holy rune stone. If it were a two-star or three-star high-grade holy rune stone, its power would be even greater, increasing your combat strength several times over."
Ling Xiao slowly suppressed his aura, nodded, and spoke calmly:
"Indeed powerful. However, this is ultimately the power of external objects, not my own strength, so I cannot rely on it too much. Only by improving my own cultivation and mastery of the Saint Runes can I truly stand outside the realm and not be controlled by others."
Xia Ming praised, "It's very good that you can think this way. You haven't been blinded by external forces. This kind of mindset is rare."
Ling Xiao completely contained the power of the Sacred Stone within his body, looked up at the distant horizon outside the cave, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips, and murmured:
"It's time to go check out Mount Shengku. I want to see how long he can escape with the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword, and how many powerful figures he can attract."
After speaking, he blurred into a streak of black light, silently rushing out of the cave and disappearing into the forest, speeding towards the direction where he was hiding on Mount Shengku.
Previously, Ling Xiao had spread images of Sheng Ku Shan's defection in Lin Yuan City. Now, the news that Sheng Ku Shan had fled with the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword has spread throughout the entire outer realm. Various forces have mobilized and sent out experts to frantically search for Sheng Ku Shan's whereabouts.
Everyone knows that the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword is a heaven-defying treasure, containing the Demon Lord's legacy and the secrets of the Demon Lord's treasure vault.
Now that Holy Mountain has absconded with the treasure and has not returned to the Court of Annihilation, whoever finds Holy Mountain first will be able to seize this supreme treasure and control its boundless power.
In an instant, the entire outer realm was engulfed in a frenzied pursuit because of the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword.
Relying on the connection between the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword and his bloodline, Ling Xiao was able to clearly sense the sword's location and track it down effortlessly, eventually finding the hiding place of the Holy Bitter Mountain...
A hidden cave, located deep in the mountains, is extremely remote and cannot be found by ordinary martial artists.
At this moment, Mount Sangu was hiding deep in the cave, concealing his aura and using special methods to hide his tracks. He appeared extremely well-hidden, as if he could evade the detection of all pursuers.
Ling Xiao secretly set up a concealment array to completely hide his figure and aura, and approached the cave step by step. Even though he was so close, Sheng Kushan was completely unaware and remained immersed in his own world.
Inside the cave, Saint Kushan held the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword in both hands, his expression almost manic, his eyes filled with extreme greed and excitement, and a fanatical smile unconsciously appearing on his lips.
This is the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword! It is the relic of the Demon Lord who once dominated the outer realms and was invincible. It is a heaven-defying treasure that countless martial artists dream of!
He murmured softly, his tone tinged with obsession:
"Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, as long as I can control you and obtain your inheritance, I will become the most powerful being beyond the realm. At that time, those old guys from the Silent Extinction Court will not be worthy of fighting against me! I must control this sword, I must!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated. He forcefully forced out a drop of his own life essence, which contained his own blood essence. With a flick of his finger, the blood essence flew straight into the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword.
The Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword trembled slightly, and the blood-red patterns flowing along its blade glowed faintly, as if sensing something, emitting a faint demonic aura, but it did not truly recognize a master...
It had long recognized Lingxiao as its master, and no matter how much essence and blood Shengkushan gave, it could not control it.
Seeing this, Saint Kushan mistakenly thought that the sword was responding to him, and was overjoyed. The fanaticism in his eyes intensified, and he was about to continue to force out his essence blood to forcibly refine the sword.
Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura emanated from outside the cave. The aura was sharp and domineering, carrying a strong killing intent. It instantly enveloped the entire cave, causing Sheng Kushan to stiffen and feel a great shock in his heart.
Ling Xiao also sensed this aura and was secretly shocked: someone actually found this place so quickly! It was even earlier than he expected. He had originally planned to add fuel to the fire and attract more forces, but he didn't expect that the top experts would arrive so quickly.
