Chapter 552: Harnessing an Immorial Mystic Armant
“You actually already own the powerful Nature-class Immorial Mystical Armant, Peacock Blue, so why have I never seen you use it?”
Xia Fei was startled, involuntarily touching his right wrist. That thin and weak small grass was onto his arm, with its two blades of grass already grown.
Xia Fei of course knew just how powerful Peacock Blue was, and the tenacious resilience it had shown when he killed the Demon Chrysalis was shocking, practically saving Xia Fei single-handedly from the clutches of death. However, Xia Fei really had no idea how to use this powerful Nature-class armant.
Shrugging, Xia Fei helplessly answered, “Honestly, I don’t have a clue how to use Peacock Blue.
First he was stunned, then Old Sable let out a long and raucous laughter, nearly going out of breath from laughing too much.
“Soone who has an Immorial Mystical Armant has no idea how to use it? Who is this expert who has done this? To give you Peacock Blue yet not tell you how to use it? HAHAHAHAHA!”
Old Sable’s words were a bit unkind, for the Black and White Gods actually quite had their eyes on Xia Fei. It was too bad that they had yet to make contact with Xia Fei, though, seeing as they were already being hunted after coming up with the Law of Primal Chaos. They were barely able to keep the hides on their back, so of course there was no way that they would have the ti to speak or explain things to Xia Fei.
The powerful Law of Primal Chaos was actually Xia Fei’s hidden concern. He had absolutely no idea that the God Race had already deed it as taboo, but it was a good thing Xia Fei had yet to co across anyone from the two High Races, or else it would have caused quite the stir. Trouble was like that; while it had yet to rear its ugly head, it was actually hiding sowhere, waiting for the chance to strike.
Old Sable finally managed to stop himself from laughing as he said in a deep voice, “Peacock Blue is an Immorial Mystic Armant, with a powerful combat strength. Calling it the most resilient weed in the universe is by no ans a pointless nasake.
“I have seen people use such a Nature-class armant more than once, and the effect achieved is very good. It’s said that this Peacock Blue’s greatest function is in breaking defenses and capture. Plenty of warriors in the Law Realm enjoy learning two sets of defense martial arts techniques, like spatial barrier or Darkness Obstruction, which utilizes Law force to defend against attacks.
“Peacock Blue has its overpowering tenacity, able to penetrate the toughest barriers and forcefully capture the enemy.”
Xia Fei’s ears perked up upon hearing this. If he could learn the thod to harness Peacock Blue, no doubt that it would be a great help to him. Using Peacock Blue to seize the enemy ant all he had to do was stab them with a knife, and Xia Fei of course enjoyed that a lot.
“Though Peacock Blue has recognized you as its owner, it has yet to establish any real kind of connection with you. It still needs even more information about you.”
Xia Fei was stunned. “Even more information? Peacock Blue is growing on my right arm, accompanying day and night. Aren’t we already very familiar with each other?”
Old Sable shook his head. “The reason why he attaches to you is you share the sa tenacity and personality, with similar experiences, but this is only enough for you to have it, not control it. If you wish to truly harness it, you will have to pay a hefty price. The armants and exotic beasts that naturally form in the universe are all very strange; your exclusive beast Furball is a unique holy beast, and Peacock Blue is also the sa.”
Xia Fei knitted his eyebrows. “Price? What sort of price?”
Old Sable said in a serious tone, “The price of fresh blood! Cut your right arm a little, and the Peacock Blue will consu your blood until it finally plants itself in your body. Taking your body as nourishnt, and your fights as sunlight, it will gradually grow.”
Xia Fei was slightly shocked. “Is this a type of blood sacrifice?!”
“Precisely! A blood sacrifice! Only then will Peacock Blue truly beco a part of you and listen to your command!”
“It’s too bad; if you used the blood sacrifice thod right from the start, it wouldn’t be hard for Peacock Blue to take root in you. Now that it has grown two grass blades, it will take even more blood before it can completely implant itself on you, and that’s a fair risk you’ll have to undertake. If you’re afraid, it’s not a bad idea to keep it like an ornant. Others will just take it for your tattoo.”
“Afraid? That word has never been part of my vocabulary. As long as the price to pay isn’t disparate from the reward I gain, I won’t even care about the price I must pay,” Xia Fei said firmly.
Old Sable intentionally made it sound like the subjugation of Peacock Blue would be extrely dangerous, but Xia Fei barely spent even 0.1 second to arrive at a conclusion. Such a decisiveness was hardly sothing most people could display, and the old demon could not help but be moved by it.
With a keen small knife in hand, Xia Fei cut a horizontal wound upon his right arm, and fresh blood ca spurting out!
*Whoosh!*
Peacock Blue really began to move!
Its two grass blades perked up, and after examining the wound for a short while, they slowly approached and wrapped themselves against it, taking in blood as a thin vein of red gradually beca visible in the plant, similar to the blood vessels found inside a human body!
...
About an hour later, Xia Fei’s wound gradually started to heal up as if Peacock Blue was taking the initiative to help him.
The process was rather alarming. In the beginning, because Xia Fei lost plenty of blood, he felt light-headed, but Peacock Blue soon sent the blood it absorbed back into Xia Fei’s veins, and the blood, which had been through Peacock Blue was purified by it, making it even purer than before!
This ca as an additional surprise to Xia Fei, albeit a welcod one. There was apparently no risk to feeding Peacock Blue his blood; instead, it brought greater benefits to his body!
“You lied to ?” Xia Fei frowned.
Old Sable burst into laughter. “So what if I did? What are you going to do, bite ?”
Xia Fei was unamused. Old Sable was truly part of the Demon Race, his actions all strange and perverse.
“If you look closely, you’ll see that there’s an additional vein of red running through the stem and leaves of Peacock Blue. That is your blood, and the plant has now beco a part of your body. Your blood is now its nourishnt, and the stronger you beco, the faster Peacock Blue will grow.”
Xia Fei shut his eyes and tried to sense that weed on his arm, attempting to control it.
“Contract!”
Peacock Blue suddenly shrank, returning to that small weed it was, coiled up around his arm.
“Expand!”
“Contract!”
“Expand!”
Xia Fei still needed to train and practice in order to achieve the contraction and expansion rate that he desired, and his ability to control Peacock Blue would increase as he beca more used to it with frequent use.
After such a long ti, Xia Fei had finally gotten the Immorial Mystic Armant, Peacock Blue, to beco part of him, and he was beyond elated.
Getting up, Xia Fei made his way toward the restriction boundary.
Peacock Blue was both a plant and a weapon. The only way to adapt better to the weapon was through battle!
....
Xia Fei quietly avoided Mu Qiubo and searched for traces of spiders out in the Ice Plains.
There were even more Ice Spiders out than what he had seen two days ago, and they were even more frenzied with their attacks, too!
These creatures lived tens of thousands of ters underground, so with Xia Fei and Mu Qiubo suddenly barging into their territory, they all left their nests and got up on land to join in the encirclent of the two interlopers.
The boundary from the Law of Ternary Spectrum was wide, spanning over a hundred miles. Mu Qiubo was in the west, so Xia Fei exited in the east. The mont the forr spotted the latter, he would quickly rush over, which was when Xia Fei would duck back behind the safety of the boundary before exiting in another direction that Mu Qiubo would not have expected.
Like a ga of cat and mouse, Xia Fei’s speed and physical ability made it difficult for the average human to grasp, and with the tens of thousands of spiders in the way, not once did Mu Qiubo manage to get anywhere near Xia Fei.
“Bind!”
After constant fighting, Xia Fei beca more and more accustod to Peacock Blue, of which the two grass blades could now grow up to thirty centiters in length!
*Whoosh!*
The blades of grass were like flexible tentacles, tightly wrapping up an Ice Spider like a dumpling. The creature could hardly struggle in that snug grip, and it was all due to the extre resilience of the plant. If even the great Demon Chrysalis could not withstand it, there was no reason these Ice Spiders would be an exception.
With a twist of his wrist, Xia Fei produced the black and sinister dagger, Blood Crystal, in his hand.
...
*Crunch!*
Blood Crystal very easily plunged into that Ice Spider’s thorax and drained its blood essence ravenously!
After its transformation as a result of the Law of Primal Chaos, Blood Crystal was no longer a dagger that only drained the blood essence of humans; it was now a weapon that could drain whatever blood it ca into contact with! Its ferocity had essentially been multiplied by many folds!
Very soon, the Ice Spider began shriveling up and beca no more than an empty husk a cicada would molt in the sumr. A light flick of the finger and it dissipated like ash!
A single Ice Spider could hardly last three seconds when facing the ravenous draining speed of Blood Crystal! This was definitely an unimaginably terrifying speed; considering that the spiders were at least the size of oxen, the amount of blood that they would have was surely substantial, yet Blood Crystal, a dagger that was barely longer than his handspan, could actually drain one completely in just three seconds! That was a truly insane bloodsucking speed!
Returning to the boundary, Xia Fei sat down cross-legged and used Origin Crystals to alleviate the lethargy he was feeling. At the sa ti, he continued his cultivation of laws.
“Eighty-seven Ice Spiders? Not bad,” Old Sable softly muttered.
On the second day, Xia Fei shot out like a cannon and risked anew being hunted down by Mu Qiubo to kill Ice Spiders outside.
“A total of 275 today. Looks like he’s getting more and more used to harnessing Peacock Blue,” Old Sable’s mouth twitched as he muttered to himself.
On the third day, 910 Ice Spiders died by Xia Fei’s hands, and his Chain Blockade martial arts technique had reached stage 5! He was only two stages away from the complete stage 7!
On the fourth day, 3255 Ice Spiders were killed.
On the fifth day, it was 9001!
On day six, he rested, choosing to focus all his effort on making a breakthrough with his Wildstorm martial arts technique.
On the seventh day, 10,003 Ice Spiders were killed. Blood Crystal had turned to an even deeper hue of black, and the ti it took to drain an Ice Spider had decreased to 2.5 seconds. It was apparent that as Xia Fei massacred these creatures, this ancient and mysterious bloodsucking dagger of his was also growing!
On the eighth day, he rested. Wildstorm had reached stage 5 and was still four stages away from hitting its completion at stage 9.
On the ninth day, he killed 11,265 Ice Spiders. This was already the very limit. After all, there was only so much ti in a day, and Xia Fei practically spent every second killing spiders non-stop!
Thus, he spent his days cultivating one mont, and massacring Ice Spiders the next. Xia Fei began his first crazy cultivation and training session since arriving in the Law Realm!
Xia Fei was not the only one growing during this ti. Peacock Blue was also becoming even handier to use that he began utilizing and coming up with new tactics he had not used before, allowing Blood Crystal to beco more ferocious than ever!
Fourteen days later, Xia Fei’s Law of Space had broken through the level 9 threshold! He was just a step away from becoming a Law Sovereign!
Just like before, Xia Fei quietly made his way out of the Law of Ternary Spectrum boundary, but the entire Eternal Ice Plain was strangely quiet. There was not even one Ice Spider inside!
It must be said that, just two days ago, there were still millions of Ice Spiders swarming the place!
‘Where have they all gone?’ Xia Fei asked himself inwardly with furrowed brows.
Even any signs of Mu Qiubo’s presence were gone, and a foreboding sense once more crept up Xia Fei’s spine.
