"Oh?" the old man said indifferently, neither confirming nor denying.
He had just made up a reason; his real purpose was to obtain the Bloodthirsty Sword.
The Bloodthirsty Sword, a renowned divine and demonic weapon in the universe.
There was once a man named Bloodthirsty Demon Lord who wielded the Bloodthirsty Sword. At the peak of level twelve, he could withstand several attacks from a powerful expert. Above the peak of level twelve and below a powerful expert, there is a realm called half-step powerful expert.
When one reaches the half-step Great Power level, one can directly confront a Great Power expert without being at a disadvantage.
Upon breaking through to the Great Power realm, he slew three Great Power experts in succession, establishing a formidable reputation throughout the universe.
It wasn't until the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord's demise that the Bloodthirsty Sword came into people's view. Only then did everyone realize that the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord's achievements were not due to any divine skills or magic, nor to his special physique, but rather to this Bloodthirsty Sword.
The Bloodthirsty Sword got its name from the title of the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord.
It is said that before obtaining the Bloodthirsty Sword, the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord was just an ordinary nobody. After obtaining the Bloodthirsty Sword, he quickly became stronger and eventually achieved such success.
Whoever obtains the Bloodthirsty Sword may become the next Bloodthirsty Demon Lord.
Unfortunately, the God-Devouring Demon Lord perished in a battle with a powerful star beast, and the Blood-Devouring Sword disappeared as a result.
Unexpectedly, it appeared here.
Looking at the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand, a fiery glint flashed in the old man's eyes.
He had been at the half-step Great Power realm for hundreds of thousands of years, but he still couldn't break through to the Great Power realm.
If he could use this Bloodthirsty Sword, he might be able to break through to the Great Power realm.
After all, that Bloodthirsty Demon Lord broke through to the Great Power realm using this method.
Furthermore, after breaking through, they possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary powerful experts.
Both of these points were incredibly tempting to him.
It is even far superior to the Golden Beast.
After all, whether the Golden Beast can break through to the Great Power realm is still unknown.
If it cannot break through, it will only be a pet beast at the peak of level twelve.
Although not weak, it is still somewhat inferior to truly powerful experts.
That being said, even if the Golden Beast breaks through, nothing beats the exhilarating feeling of a significant power boost from one's own breakthrough.
However, he must use it with caution. It is said that this divine and demonic weapon, if used improperly, can easily lead to loss of mind.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Lord was not actually the first owner of the Bloodthirsty Sword.
After the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord fell, some people investigated.
The results showed that the Bloodthirsty Sword had many masters before the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord.
Their early development was similar to that of the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord, but in the end, many of them fell into slaughter, either dying from qi deviation or from provoking powerful enemies.
Only the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord broke through to the Great Power realm.
Some say that the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord's battle with that star beast was also influenced by the Bloodthirsty Sword.
Some say that the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord broke through to the Great Power realm and had already broken free from the influence of the Bloodthirsty Sword. After all, the minds of Great Power beings are very strong and difficult to be influenced or controlled by external things. The Bloodthirsty Demon Lord simply wanted to absorb the essence blood of that star beast. He did not expect that the star beast was so powerful and ultimately perished.
Some say that the Bloodthirsty Sword doesn't actually affect people; it's just that its power is so extraordinary that ordinary people can't resist its allure, leading to their arrogance and ultimately causing them to go into a state of demonic possession.
The truth remains uncertain.
However, apart from the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord, the others who obtained the Bloodthirsty Sword, except for a few who died unexpectedly, all developed normally, and the weakest of them reached the late stage or peak of level eleven.
Many of them reached the level of level twelve cultivators, and several reached the late stage or peak stage of level twelve. Most of these people had very ordinary aptitudes before, which shows the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword.
The old man did not directly kill and steal the treasure.
On the one hand, he didn't want this to affect his mental cultivation.
On the other hand, he wanted to see what kind of person this young man who had used the Bloodthirsty Sword was.
In this way, he had something to learn from when using the Bloodthirsty Sword.
However, after listening to Lin Yun's words, he still used his mental energy to probe the Bloodthirsty Sword for a closer look.
"Hmm? Three spirits?"
The next moment, the old man said in a low voice.
In fact, the moment he obtained the Bloodthirsty Sword, he had already used his spiritual power to probe it, and he had vaguely sensed the appearance of three spirits within it. However, at this moment, his perception was much clearer.
Two of the spirits seemed quite different from the other, and appeared not to be the spirits of the Bloodthirsty Sword itself.
Could these two spirits be the two friends this young man was talking about?
The old man thought to himself.
That should be it. He has already investigated and found that there is no other space inside this God-Devouring Sword, and normal people cannot enter this Blood-Devouring Sword.
"Let us go!"
"Quickly return the sword to your brother!"
At this moment, Xiaobai and Xiaolan sensed the old man's probing and anxiously transmitted their voices.
"Huh?"
The old man was surprised.
These two spirits actually possess such high intelligence?
"No, I feel like I've sensed the aura of these two spirits somewhere before..."
The old man's expression suddenly changed, and he looked surprised and uncertain.
He began to recall quickly.
He had a vague feeling that the place where he had sensed the presence of those two spirits must be a very important place.
"A spirit... its aura... where exactly is it from...?"
The old man murmured, as images flashed rapidly through his mind.
The memory of a half-step Great Power is still quite powerful.
However, he still took several seconds to recall.
Lin Yun watched anxiously.
Meanwhile, Na Ming had already run far away.
Fortunately, the robot on his warship, at the peak level of level eleven, seemed to have received Mingdu's order and quickly retreated; otherwise, he would have been extremely anxious.
He wasn't actually too worried about the golden beast.
First, he had only known the Golden Beast for a short time, and the two had only fought together once.
Secondly, the Golden Beast is ultimately just a Star Beast. Many people say that Star Beasts are cunning and difficult to tame. Just now, they had the same enemy. If that battle ends, he is not sure whether that Star Beast will turn around and deal with him.
Third, judging from how easily the old man could capture the golden beast, killing it would also be a very easy task. Perhaps the old man's idea is the same as Mingdu's; he simply wants to subdue the golden beast.
A tamed golden beast is quite valuable.
So, his biggest worry was now just Xiaobai and Xiaolan.
Judging from the old man's appearance, the possibility of him regaining the Blood Sword is extremely small.
The Blood Sword is extremely valuable.
The old man isn't tempted? He's not that naive!
Although the old man spoke very righteously!
Now, all he hoped was that the old man could release Xiaobai and Xiaolan from the blood sword.
He was afraid that the old man would become interested in Xiaobai and Xiaolan and then keep them with him.
Or perhaps the old man had no way to release Xiaobai and Xiaolan from the blood sword.
