After the ancient Cang Pagoda spirit finished explaining to Jiang Li, it chattered something to the burly man.
The sturdy man nodded repeatedly as he listened, and his gaze towards Jiang Li changed from respect to admiration, and from admiration to fanaticism.
Afterwards, he kowtowed repeatedly to Jiang Li, and used his right hand as a palm knife to cut his chest fiercely, leaving a deep scar that could be seen to the bone.
The sturdy man used his hands to smear the warm and boiling blood on the wound on his chest, painted strange patterns on his face, and then, under Jiang Li's surprised gaze, crawled to Jiang Li's feet and painted the same patterns on his shoes.
Then he turned around and strode into the fog.
"This is the Haoxue Clan's master recognition ceremony. Since he has recognized you, you will be his boss from now on. You can ask him to go through fire and water without blinking an eye."
"Well, take your knife and go take a look up there."
The spirit of the Ancient Cang Pagoda knew that Jiang Li wanted to ask a question, so he said a few words in advance, then waved at Jiang Li and disappeared without a trace.
The other side.
Tianwang Mountain.
The strong smell of blood almost completely buried it.
There were corpses everywhere, including those of ferocious beasts, human practitioners, and even the corpse of a forbidden beast king and a powerful human forbidden sun.
Most of the Tianwang Mountain was cut off.
The ground is riddled with holes, and you can even see traces of lava flowing out of the surface.
Although humanity has won the war this time, it is a pyrrhic victory.
The Tianwangshan Human Alliance has been exhausted by the ferocious beasts' fearless and crazy actions.
Major General Zhu gazed at Tianwang Mountain, whose original appearance had long been unrecognizable, in silence.
"The Myriad Races seem to have noticed our plan. The ferocious beasts are attacking too frequently."
A young man in military uniform with a scar on his face stood beside Major General Zhu and spoke.
"This kind of thing can't be hidden. Now it has reached a white-hot stage. Besides a direct comparison of combat power, it's also a comparison of who has deeper foundations. At this point, conspiracies and tricks are nothing but empty talk."
"Wei Ruo, you are still young. You must remember not to worry about small gains and losses, but to focus on the long term. Just like this battle, it seems that we won, but in fact, we lost."
"Those guys from the Ten Thousand Races shouldn't be underestimated. We're now racing against time. If Jiang Li can successfully advance to the Forbidden Sun, then we have a 30% chance of winning. If we can't advance to the Forbidden Sun before the Ten Thousand Races' prodigy emerges, then humanity is doomed."
Major General Zhu nodded, sighed, and his face was full of fatigue.
He hadn't rested for nearly a week. Although he was very tired and sleepy, he didn't dare to slack off intentionally, because he knew that once he relaxed, causing the early battle to collapse, then all of humanity would be finished before Jiang Li could be promoted to the Forbidden Day.
Wei Ruo's bright eyes seemed to understand something, but when he heard Major General Zhu mention Jiang Li, he fell silent.
Not long ago, they were competitors in the five major college leagues. At that time, Jiang Li was still an unknown boy, but as he overcame all obstacles in the competition, he soon reached the level he admired.
And now, the only hope for victory for the entire human race of the ancestral planet lies in Jiang Li. This makes him, who was born in the same era as Jiang Li, have an inexplicable sense of complexity.
Perhaps, the saying "If you have Yu, why have Liang?" is exactly like this feeling.
"Yes, I remember that. Is there still no news from Jiang Li?"
Wei Ruo asked after a long silence.
"I've arrived at the Ancient Cang Secret Realm, but I don't know what the current situation is. I hope everything goes well for him."
Major General Zhu sighed again and stared at the unrecognizable Tianwang Mountain in a daze.
The twelfth floor of the Ancient Cang Tower.
The corpse of a giant crustacean fell to the ground, with blue-purple smelly blood flowing on the ground.
Jiang Li turned his back to the giant crustacean corpse and slowly exhaled.
But the excitement in his eyes betrayed his extremely excited mood.
He gently stroked the blade of the Demon-Devouring Knife, which exuded an evil blood-colored aura and slowly absorbed the blood essence of the corpse of the giant crustacean.
"So you're thirsty for blood."
Jiang Li looked at the extremely sharp blade and murmured softly.
The Demon-Devouring Blade emitted a slight humming sound.
Jiang Li was not surprised by this.
In the battle just now, Jiang Li found that the sword fit him perfectly, as if it was made for him.
There was absolutely no feeling like what the ancient Cang Tower Spirit said, that the magic sword was dangerous and could devour its master.
In fact, Jiang Li was right to have this feeling. The God-Slaying Sword was originally prepared by Jiang Li's parents specifically for Jiang Li, and the issue of compatibility had been taken into consideration long ago.
And that rough prototype of the holy weapon, the nameless giant sword, was what the ancient Cang Pagoda spirit asked Jiang Li to cultivate and upgrade to the original holy weapon.
After countless battles and trials and tribulations with Jiang Li, this rough draft of the holy weapon developed a hint of spirituality.
Although this trace of spirituality is very weak and not enough to become a weapon spirit, but with this trace of spirituality, mixed with the Shura fighting spirit that is born for war, the weapon spirit will become docile to Jiang Li.
Although the spirit of the Ancient Cang Pagoda had anticipated this, he did not expect that the knife would be so obedient to Jiang Li.
However, according to the ancient Cangta Spirit, with the gradual awakening of the Shura War Spirit and the strengthening of the demonic nature of the Demon Sword, only then will this Demon-Devouring Sword be able to exert its ultimate power.
But on the other hand, as the magic sword becomes stronger and stronger, the risk of it devouring its owner will also become greater and greater. If one day the owner of the sword is not strong enough or cannot suppress the magic sword, the risk of it devouring its owner will increase.
Then, this magic sword will take over and enslave you, or even kill you due to the backlash.
"Well done, very good. This is the reward for the twelfth floor. The difficulty of the next two floors will be hundreds of times more difficult than this one. You must be careful."
The spirit of the Ancient Cang Tower showed admiration on his face, but soon this admiration turned into solemnity, because the last two floors of the Ancient Cang Tower made him feel a little tricky.
After saying this, the Ancient Cang Pagoda Spirit threw eighteen white jade objects the size of rice grains towards Jiang Li.
Jiang Li took these rice-sized white jade-like objects and was secretly shocked.
He could feel the energy contained in this rice-sized piece of white jade. This amount of energy was equivalent to the full-strength attack of a promoted Sun.
"This is white chalcedony, which is rare even in the starry sky. These eighteen grains are enough to correspond to the rewards of the twelfth floor. After absorbing these white chalcedony, your strength will increase slightly."
"By the way, this white chalcedony will also affect your physique and five senses. When you absorb it, activate the Nine Transformations Divine and Demonic Body and open your five senses. The effect will be better."
After saying this, the ancient Cang Pagoda Spirit disappeared from Jiang Li's sight again.
