“Old Patriarch...” Jiang Xiaodie watched the bloodstained mansion from outside, her voice trembling. “Boohoo... Our home was destroyed, and my uncles, brothers, and sisters all died miserably...”

The Jiang family’s patriarch no longer appeared philistine and answered in grief, “Sigh... This is the Pugilistic World!”

“W-Why is it that the kind can not survive long in the Pugilistic World, while evil can live forever?” the girl asked seriously.

“...” The Jiang family’s patriarch remained silent for a while. “That’s only because... we’re not strong enough! The Blood Imbibing Saber, Nangong Wuwang, might not dare wreak havoc like this in the holy grounds of the Pugilistic World!”

However, he was not really sure about that.

After all, Nangong was a gifted Demon Dao martial artist who had defeated Chen Qiyou!

*It’s a pity... If there were another five first-grade grandmasters, I would have risked my life to stop the injured Blood Imbibing Saber... But... *

He was unwilling to be reconciled, but there was nothing he could do.

A first-grade grandmaster in martial arts could found a sect and become renowned all over the world.

Such experts were the top martial artists in the mortal world, and even the holy grounds could not possibly deploy them at will.

Without first-grade grandmasters, no matter how many martial artists joined the battle, the Blood Imbibing Saber would decapitate them and feed on their blood.

“Old Patriarch!” Xiaodie clenched her teeth. “I must stop this person and avenge our family! Dad always said that I didn’t like fighting, but this time... I want to fight!”

“Nangong Wuwang is already in the Heavenly Phenomenon realm... If you want to take revenge on him, you have to obtain the Jiang family’s Demonic Armament!”

The Jiang family’s patriarch did not speak for a long time, but his voice was directly heard in Xiaodie’s ears. “In fact... our real surname is ‘Jiang’! Your name should be ‘Jiang Xiaodie’! We are the descendants of the Li Human Sect’s young lord, and we possess the clues about where to find the Demonic Armament, the Li Perishing Sword! This family secret is strictly confidential. Moreover... every owner of the Li Perishing Sword must be female! Do you know the reason why?

“That’s because during the chaos of the Li Human Sect, the first blood sacrifice for the Li Perishing Sword was the young sect lord’s lover!

“Xiaodie... You’re a gifted and talented martial artist, and you’re only mediocre today because you don’t like fighting. Once you obtain the Li Perishing Sword, your martial arts will rapidly progress! As for the difference between Divine and Demonic Armaments, you don’t need to worry about that. Armaments are merely tools, and the outcome depends on how the owners intend to use them!”

As the Jiang family’s patriarch spoke to Xiaodie, an ancient painting emerged in his sea of consciousness.

This was a treasure passed down from the ancestors of the Jiang family. It was the portrait of the lover of the Li Human Sect’s young lord, said to be drawn by him personally.

Jiang Xiaodie looked almost the same as the lady in the painting, as if she was the lady’s incarnation!

“Although the Li Perishing Sword’s test is frightening, I believe that Xiaodie can pass it!”

Thinking about the mysterious connections, the Jiang family’s patriarch made a resolution. The Jiang family tried to stay safe, but disaster still befell us. It’s time to get rid of the restrictions and convert to the Demon Dao! That’s because the Pugilistic World today... favors the Demon Dao over the Orthodox Dao!

He took one last glance at the old residence stained by blood, and then he quickly left with Xiaodie.

...

A few days later, the Pugilistic World was struck by a piece of shocking news.

The Blood Imbibing Saber owner had rampaged through Boyang Commandery and defeated the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building Master, Chen Qiyou. Furthermore, he had killed five masters, dozens of martial artists in the three medium grades, and countless common martial artists.

Once again, Nangong Wuwang shot to fame in the entire Pugilistic World. His name was so ominous, it could stop children from crying at night.

The battle between Gu Qixing and the Petal Rinsing Divine Sword, as well as the covert actions of the Demon Sect, were totally neglected as Fang Yuan attracted all the attention.

This was the cruelty of the Pugilistic World!

On the other hand, as the subject of the news, Fang Yuan—the demon wielding the Blood Imbibing Saber—found a random location in the wilderness. The Blood Imbibing Saber and the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror were laid out before him.

“Nangong... What happened earlier was a spontaneous response caused by the Blood Imbibing Saber. It had nothing to do with me!”

After being sealed up, the Sanguine Demon became much more prudent with his words, knowing that he was not powerful enough to rebel against Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan could not be bothered listening to it.

They were merely taking advantage of each other after all.

Furthermore, the Sanguine Demon was much more reliant on him than he was on the demon.

“I can sense my other body parts better after I obtained that portion of my Essence Soul. The second fragment should be four hundred kilometers to your east...”

The Sanguine Demon kept talking, but Fang Yuan directly interrupted, “I’ll go when I feel like it... Don’t be so noisy!”

“You...” The Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul was exasperated.

He was an existence at the level of a Demon God. Unfortunately, he had been defeated and killed by the Celestial Thearch Sword, and the strength of his current Essence Soul was only a tiny portion of his full ability. Otherwise, how could he possibly entreat a Demon Master?

But now, he had to rely on Fang Yuan. He also knew that Fang Yuan would not listen to him and would definitely seal him if he was annoying. Therefore, he immediately stopped talking and observed Fang Yuan.

“The Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror...”

Fang Yuan was dressed in white and sat cross-legged like an elegant immortal, completely unlike a demon.

As he waved his hand, the fifth Divine Armament landed on his palm.

“This mirror’s auxiliary capability can be called heaven-defying, so I should put it to use!”

Using all his strength, he injected a torrent of Six Extremes True Qi into the Providence Mirror.

Rumble!

The elliptical mirror was suspended and enlarged. It grew from the size of a pebble to a common copper mirror, and the surrounding patterns blazed like flames.

Size adjustment was merely a normal function of Divine Armaments.

Buzz buzz!

After a while, a distinct chirp rang out from the Providence Mirror. It suddenly emitted bright light before concentrating into a silver sword sphere. Fang Yuan grabbed it and pressed it into his forehead.

“Ugh...”

He took a deep breath. Brilliant light shone in his eyes, and his Fiery Golden Eyes was directly upgraded.

Flames emerged in his pupils, enabling him to see the true nature of the world. He could even penetrate superficial appearances and see the manifestation of rules and the tracks of the Great Daos.

“Great! I can make the best use of this Divine Armament! It was wasted with Chen Qiyou!”

Fang Yuan was exhilarated as he looked at his stats window:

“Name: Fang Yuan (Nangong Wuwang)

Essence: 150

Spirit: 150

Magic: 150

Cultivation: Heavenly Phenomenon

Technique: Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art (Third Realm), Great Sanguine Demon Technique

Specialization: Botany [Level Six] (Maximum), Heavenly Eye Seer Spell (Fake), Body of Origin Power, Demonic Armament—Blood Imbibing Saber”

“Essence, Spirit, and Magic are categories used in the lower realms and less relevant here!”

Fang Yuan took a quick glance and focused on the Heavenly Eye Seer Spell under Specialization:

“Heavenly Eye Seer Spell (Fake)—a mutation from the Fiery Golden Eyes. This specialization was promoted to the Heavenly Eye Seer Spell due to the aid of the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror! The Heavenly Eye Seer can see the changes of the world and detect the details of the Six Dao. The Great Daos of the world are all in your eyes!”

“Fake?” Fang Yuan’s expression became stagnant when he noticed the tag following the specialization. “As expected, since this magical power arose from external aid, it’ll disappear as soon as I lose the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror.”

Of course, he would not give up the Heavenly Eye Seer Spell.

This specialization allowed him to observe the development of the world and comprehend the Great Daos. It was a shortcut to the completion of his Demon God Dao path! He had to clutch it tightly.

If other Demon Master knew of it, they would definitely attempt to plunder it at all costs. It could even attract Demon Gods.

“Still, the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror alone could not achieve this. I’m also relying on my experience accumulated in different worlds, together with the help from the stats window...”

Fang Yuan muttered, “My priority now is to completely refine the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror... No, I’ll devour its essence directly and make it my own specialization!”

Although he had mastered this Divine Armament, it would still take a long time to completely refine.

Furthermore, he had not obtained the heaven-grade martial arts in the Divine Armament. He immediately realized that the mirror still had many secrets to be unraveled.

Fang Yuan thought about it and then summoned the Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul to inquire about this issue.

“Where’s the heaven-grade cultivation technique that accompanies this Divine Armament?”

The Sanguine Demon was more well-behaved now. After pondering for a while, he said, “As far as I know, the Celestial Thearch Sword contains a formulation called ‘the Celestial Thearch Sword Formulation’. This abstruse formulation was naturally formed from the power of creation and written by the heavens and the earth! The legendary martial arts in some Divine and Demonic Armaments were created when the artisans injected their own Martial Dao essence into the armaments! I heard a little about the previous owners of the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror. This mirror was said to be made from a piece of ten-thousand-year-old jade, which is probably unique in this world. Maybe the Divine Armament is concealing its true value?”

“Since the saber has a Saber Spirit, it’s normal that this armament has its own spirit as well!” Fang Yuan nodded. “However... I can ask another person!”

“Are you referring to the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building Master? Hehe... He was unfortunate enough to make you his opponent! However, this building always has up-to-date intelligence, and nobody knows the location of the headquarters. Even if you manage to find him, he may collaborate with the Orthodox Dao and be prepared to kill you!”

The Sanguine Demon said, “The Kong family has a grudge against my previous owner and will certainly do their utmost to deal with you. Why don’t you... enhance your strength first? That’ll prepare you for any circumstances!”

The demon did not dare tempt Fang Yuan with demonic thoughts, but his words implied that he hoped Fang Yuan could complete his body as soon as possible.

After all, none of the previous Blood Imbibing Saber owners were as strong as Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan was the only owner who could directly defeat anyone trying to hinder him.

If the demon missed this chance, his resurrection could be delayed forever.

“Enhance my strength?”

Fang Yuan smiled.

He had come to this world primarily to test the dream-traversing technique.

Moving on, he would look for some things related to this world’s source and perfect his own Great Dao.

As of now, he could not give up the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror. If everything progressed smoothly, he could even try out the Celestial Thearch Sword.

While this sword had been lost, it would appear again when a great tribulation befell the world!
