Legend of the Great Sage

n of such a standard.

Li Qingshan felt a slight sense of pity, but Yin Qing on the side was very surprised.
She had once witnessed an Asura King using an Asura Altar of Armaments to exchange for a weapon, but the number and quality of weapons he ended up offering was around the same, or even a little less than that.

Stronger weapons did not make them better.
Once they surpassed the limit of the wielder, the wielder would immediately face a backlash.
It was even possible for them to dominate the wielder instead.
Something like that was commonplace in the Asura realm.
Divine weapons had spirits.
They would never recognise a weakling.

With his cultivation at the second heavenly tribulation, he can actually receive so much recognition from the Armoury of War and Chaos.
That’s unbelievable! If he went to the Asura realm, he’d basically be a prodigy chosen by the heavens, an elite among elites!

“Sacrifice!” Li Qingshan bellowed.

The five hundred and twenty-seven weapons flew up into the air, revolving, entering the Asura Altar of Armaments and vanishing.

When the last weapon vanished, a streak of blood-red light suddenly rushed into the air.

When the blood-red light dispersed, a weapon was planted on the Asura Altar of Armaments.

“Hmm? Why is it a sword? I clearly asked for a… blade!”

Li Qingshan’s expression changed and realised he had mistaken.
It really was a blade.
The blade was just slender and straight, without any curves at all.
If it were not for its single edge, it really would have resembled a sword more.

The blade was dark-red in colour, like layers of condensed blood.
It seemed a little dull.
Apart from that, there was nothing worth mentioning.
There was no crossguard or patterns.
Even the hilt was completely straight.
Not only did it seem extremely tasteless, but it did not even give off a sharp aura befitting of a weapon either.

“This is the treasured blade I exchange for using over five hundred weapons? Why does it look like a clumsy product of an apprentice blacksmith? And it even seems like they were trying to forge a sword in the beginning, but it only ended up as a blade because of their inexperience!” Li Qingshan had his doubts as he grabbed the hilt.

Yin Qing furrowed her eyebrows and racked her brain.
She just found the blade to be rather familiar for some reason, but it also made no sense.
After all, the Asura realm was far too vast, and there were countless weapons in existence.
No matter how knowledgeable she was, it was impossible for her to know all of them.
Only when Li Qingshan gripped the hilt did her heart suddenly skip a beat. Don’t tell me it’s that blade?

“Be careful, my king!”

Li Qingshan suddenly felt a sharp pain from the palm of his hand.
The hilt that did not even have the slightest pattern suddenly seemed to be riddled in spikes, and these spikes constantly twisted and penetrated deeper into his hand, greedily drinking his blood.

“There really is something up with it!”

Li Qingshan rejoiced instead of being surprised.
He was not afraid of obtaining a demonic blade that attacked its master.
He was only afraid that the blade would be of inferior quality.
It had managed to pierce his skin instantly, which proved its uniqueness, even though he had not raised his defences.

He ignored the pain from his hand and drew the blade from the Asura Altar of Armaments, only to see numerous red lines that resembled blood vessels light up on the dark blade.

Li Qingshan held the blade before him horizontally and gently stroked the edge with his left hand.
The densely-packed capillaries extended from the blade and penetrated his hand, sucking up his blood.

Li Qingshan did not stop it.
He allowed the strange blade to drink away.
He wanted to see just how the blade would change!

“You want to drink my blood? You might as well drink to your heart’s content then!”

Li Qingshan held the blade in a reverse grip and stabbed it into his heart.
The strange blade was like a person in the desert, on the brink of dying from hydration, only to suddenly see a spring.
It drank his essence blood madly.

Gradually, Li Qingshan’s figure shrivelled and paled, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
While the strange blade was desperately drinking his blood, he took advantage of the situation to refine the strange blade.

The refinement process was surprisingly smooth, but it was not because the strange blade was not intelligent, but because the strange blade welcomed him as its master very much.
However, the reason for that left Li Qingshan with a rather strange expression.
He murmured.

“Bloodjaw!”

That was the name of the blade.
The blade was intelligent, but it only had a single demand, which was blood, whether it was the blood of enemies or the blood of its master.
The thicker and more pure the blood was, the stronger it would be.

It had not put up any resistance while Li Qingshan refined it because there was no blood to drink in the Armoury of War and Chaos and because Li Qingshan’s blood left it extremely satisfied.

Li Qingshan practised the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine.
There were a total of four bloodlines gathered on him.
Every single bloodline could be regarded as unrivalled.
None of them had reached the ninth layer, so they could not be regarded as truly pure, but they were rare enough.

Quite a while later, Li Qingshan slowly drew out Bloodjaw.
His entire figure had thinned down, and his face had become extremely haggard.
However, the blade in his hand shone with blood-red light exuberantly.

He had a feeling that with a swing of this blade, even treasured swords like the Fogbow sword and the Demon Dragon sword would be cut in half.
This was truly the most powerful weapon he had obtained so far.
And because it was shaped like a sword, it would assist him in gradually converting the path of the sword he had developed so far to the path of the blade.

The blood-drinking is a little vicious though.
My current body is even stronger than regular Daemon Kings, and I have the Tiger Demon Transformation, so I can ignore bodily injuries.
The Phoenix Transformation is there to maintain my vitality and make it endless too.
If someone else had used this blade, they’d probably be sucked dry before they can even kill anyone!

Yin Qing sighed.
“I really don’t know if you’re fortunate or misfortunate, my king.
The Bloodjaw blade has quite the infamy in the Asura realm!”
